( chuckles ) considering the week i 've had , um , i 'm doing okay . i think i 'd be doing even better if that person you call a fiancée would be out of my life completely . really , if you think about it , is it any wonder that i 've had a hard time these last few months , really ? everything that i 've lost has been because of brooke , even my child 's biology . my child has her d.n.a . now how does that happen ? [ scene_break ] bridget : so i 'm just gon na need you to make sure you finish the entire prescription , and if you 're not feeling better in a couple of days , go ahead and give me a call . woman : thanks again , dr. forrester . bridget : oh , you 're welcome . feel better , okay ? eric : hi , honey . bridget : oh , dad , hi . what brings you here ? eric : news travels fast . bridget : yeah ? mwah . that 's rather cryptic . eric : i hear you 're seeing nick marone again . bridget : hmm . eric : is that true ? bridget : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] nick : i do n't think i like where this conversation has gone . katie : i am worried about bridget . nick : i get that . katie : you must know how she feels about you . i mean , to sleep with her when you do n't know where you stand -- nick : whoa , whoa , wait a minute . bridget 's not a child . this is something that we both wanted , something that we agreed upon . katie : even if it does n't lead to anything more ? nick : i 'm not comfortable having this conversation with you . katie : you 're gon na break her heart again , are n't you ? nick : is it too early to start drinking ? katie : you should be so grateful that a woman like bridget will even give you the time of day . i mean , you should be counting your lucky stars that she even gives a damn about you . ( sighs heavily ) nick : what are you wearing ? katie : what ? [ scene_break ] taylor : no , really , i - i mean , i have had to go through more losses than one person should have to deal with in their entire lifetime because of brooke . ridge : oh , taylor . taylor : no , i 'm just trying to tell you -- let me finish . i just want to explain to you that i am doing better , because i 'm determined to get past this . and i 'm going to see the judge , and he 's going to see that i 'm doing better , that i 'm getting my act together , that i 've got my life back on track and that i 'm stable . ridge : well , you definitely seem better than i thought i would find you after the reports i 've been getting . taylor : oh , yeah , i 'm sure brooke painted me out to be a complete basket case , did n't she ? ridge : she 's just concerned about jack . taylor : no , she 's not . she has one mission , and that 's to ruin my life . ridge : oh , taylor , i do n't think that 's fair . taylor : really ? ridge : mnh - mnh . taylor : so what happened to you and ashley ? i was just wondering about that , because i thought she was a wonderful woman . i thought she was exceptional . she was perfect for you , besides me . so what happened there ? do you still care about her ? ridge : yes , of course , i do . taylor : mm - hmm . ridge : but , um ... taylor : but if you got any sense in that handsome head of yours , you 'd go back to her , because i 'm telling you if you marry brooke , you are going to be completely miserable for the rest of your life . brooke : taylor , how dare you ! ridge : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] bridget : well , dad , we had a wonderful evening together , and i 'm hoping something comes out of it . eric : what ? you 're hoping that something comes out of it ? bridget : it 's complicated . you know as well as i do everything nick has been through . eric : i know . nick has been through a great deal . he really has . it 's not him i 'm worried about . i 'm worried about him hurting you . bridget : well , dad , i know what i 'm doing . we 're taking this really slow , just one step at a time . eric : one step at a time , taking it really slow . you know what that sounds like ? it sounds like code for `` bridget , this is cool , but i 'm not really ready to commit . `` bridget : how could he be , dad ? he 's not even divorced yet . eric : well , then what are you doing there ? bridget : dad , uh ... ( sighs ) is this about mom ? because mom has promised me that she 's not interfering in my relationships again . i 'd like to be a little excited about this . so be happy for me . [ scene_break ] nick : so i take it you 're a basketball fan . katie : kind of hard not to be growing up in l.a . think fast . nick : why are you doing this ? katie : i 'm trying to get you to open up your eyes , you big dope . nick : my eyes are open . they 're open . katie : you know , if you wanted to spring for laker tickets , i probably could be talked into going . nick : how did i get so lucky ? katie : are we on ? nick : remind me why you 're here . katie : ( sighs ) to get my sweater and to make sure you do n't destroy bridget 's life . nick : you got your sweater . bridget 's fine . but you 're still here . katie : i guess i could n't pull myself away from your irresistible charm . [ scene_break ] rick : taylor 's been going through a pretty rough time right now . i 'm just -- i 'm just there to support her . ashley : well , it says a lot about the kind of man you are . taylor 's very lucky to have you on her side . i mean , honestly , who 'd have ever thought that brooke 's son would be stepping up to the plate to back up taylor ? taylor : oh , hey , brooke , eavesdropping ? how much did you hear ? brooke : plenty . ridge : taylor stopped by -- brooke : i know why she stopped by . how dare you try to undermine my engagement to ridge . taylor : well , that was n't my intention . as if you have n't gone all over town telling everybody what a head case i am . brooke : taylor , we all know that you 're having a very difficult time right now . taylor : oh , i know . that 's exactly the way you phrased it , too , right ? ridge : ladies , let 's not reopen world war ii . taylor : no , no , please , ridge , do n't candy - coat her behavior here . because if you want to know what the root of the dysfunction in your family is , there it is . and if you marry her , you 're just gon na have more of it , because this is how it always ends up -- pain , misery , destruction , chaos . brooke : see -- see what i 'm talking about ? taylor : that 's exactly what it is . brooke : this is her state of mind . i mean , this is an absolutely crazy conversation . taylor : no , the only thing that would be crazy is if ridge commits to you again , knowing full well that you are only wrapped up in the world of my child and his father . you are the only insane person standing in this room . that is what disordered people do . brooke : you 're calling me insane ? no , no , i am not the one ... taylor : everywhere they go , they cause chaos , chaos ! ridge : taylor , this is not gon na solve anything . brooke : who became overwhelmed with rage and started drinking again ! taylor : that 's exactly what you do . brooke : you started having hallucinations and delusions . taylor : do n't push me . get your hands off me . brooke : stop it . you lost your child because of you , not because of me . you lost your child , because you 're losing your mind ! rick : mom ! mom ! do not talk to taylor like that . rick : mom , this is insane . i 'm not gon na stand here and let you berate taylor like this . ridge : rick , it was n't really like that . brooke : taylor was attacking me . taylor : no , i was just telling you how sick i am of you ruining everybody 's lives . why ca n't you see it ? why ca n't you just admit it ? your own daughter -- you did do that . you ruined two of her marriages , one to deacon , the other one to nick . and look what you did to me . you ruined my marriage to ridge , and then you ruined that marriage to nick . really ? and now you want to renege on the agreement you signed to leave my child alone ? brooke : stop it . no , that is not true . taylor : it is true . ( phone beeps ) ridge : what ? the whole shipment ? i 'll be right down . emergency downstairs . i 've got to handle this . rick : all right , just go do your thing . i will , um , i 'll take care of these two . ridge : i do n't want anyone leaving here in handcuffs or a body bag , okay ? rick : got it . brooke : taylor , i know you 're in pain , and i am terribly sorry . taylor : oh , can it . all you want to do is take my child away from me . brooke : that is not true . you 're not capable of taking care of a child , taylor . you have irrational behavior , and you 're drinking again . rick : mom , mom , please , do n't you think taylor 's been through enough ? taylor : it 's okay . it 's okay . thank you . thank you very much , rick . i honestly do n't know how you have put up with her all of these years . but you know what ? i 'm not your mother 's only victim . it 's your sister , too . look at what she did to her . really ? competing with your own daughter for a romantic relationship . now i do n't think that 's insane . i think that is sick . [ scene_break ] eric : of course , i want to be happy for you , honey . i want you to be happy . i 'm just -- i just do n't want him to ht you . you know , you 've suffered a lot of pain because of nick in the past . and i 'm concerned about his intentions towards you . bridget : and that 's that supposed to mean ? eric : ( sighs ) honey , nick did n't have a father when he was growing up , and -- and he -- he practically grew up on an ocean tanker . now where would he have learned how to treat a woman if he -- if he knows at all ? he 's a loner . he 's a cynic . he may not intend to hurt you , but -- but i 'm afraid he will . i have to really wonder if he can truly appreciate you . and i think maybe it might be better for both of you if he found somebody more like him to move on with . [ scene_break ] nick : well , this has been special . you found out what you wanted to know . so it 's time to go . katie : actually , i did n't find out what i wanted to know . nick : ( whispering ) she spent the night . katie : but what happens next ? nick : that 's a question i ca n't answer . katie : why not ? nick : because i do n't know . i do n't know what 's going to happen with me and bridget next . katie : ( sighs ) please , do n't break her heart again . nick : do you really think that i would do that ? katie : why do you keep acting like you have no control over your actions ? has my sister messed you up so bad that you ca n't make a decision on your own ? nick : no , no , forget about your sister . now her and forrester can go off into the crimson sunset for all i care . i 'm done with that . and i would never do anything with bridget otherwise to hurt her . katie : just love her . that 's all she wants . nick : ( sighs ) i do love her . katie : enough to give her a second chance , to build a life with her ? nick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] bridget : dad , i - i love that you 're -- that you 're here for me , but what i really need from you right now is just your support . eric : i do n't think he can appreciate you the way you deserve to be appreciated . i do n't think he 's right for you . bridget : i do n't need you to worry about me . look , mom is not gon na interfere this time . i want to be with him . i want to be with that baby . and i just want back what i had with him before . can you just be happy for me ? eric : sure . i love you . bridget : i love you , too , dad . [ scene_break ] katie : you have n't answered my question . nick : it 's a big question . katie : ( sighs ) you know , i never would have gotten involved in this if i did n't think that two people could n't come together and -- and rekindle some happiness , that you could be in a relationship with somebody who was totally committed to you , who loved you unconditionally , and maybe bridget could have the same thing . what 's the problem with that ? nick : the problem , o , nosy one , is that i do n't know if i can give bridget what she wants and deserves . katie : oh , god , you 're so full of hot air . nick : and you 're a pain in the ass . you ever wonder why you 're single ? it 's 'cause you 're too much like a guy . katie : ( gasps ) nick : maybe you oughta think about softening up a little bit , being a little less abrasive and controlling , you know , maybe a little bit more feminine . maybe some kindness and a smile might help your cause . katie : i am plenty feminine and kind . i think you 're just used to women who roll over so you can walk all over them . and it 's not my fault that you do n't know a good thing when it 's standing right in front of you . nick : okay , okay . ( clears throat ) everything you say about bridget is true . she 's an incredible girl . she 's wonderful . she 's beautiful . and i 'm lucky to have her . the truth is i do n't want to let her down again , and i do n't want to hurt her . and i do n't know if we are right for each other . katie : so who do you think you 're right for ? nick : well , what do i know ? i mean , i 'm -- i 'm gruff . i 'm pigheaded . i 'm very stubborn and stuck in my ways . i 'm -- i do n't know . i 'm a lot like -- like -- katie : like me ? [ scene_break ] brooke : it 's true . i have made some mistakes with my daughter . but it has nothing to do with why you lost your child . the judge just did n't think that you could take care of jack , because you were so focused on your obsession with me . and you 're still consumed with your hatred of me . taylor : oh . ( scoffs ) rick : mom , mom , please , can -- can we not do this ? brooke : why are you defending her ? rick : do you realize how many people you 've hurt on your pursuit for your destiny ? who 's your destiny , mom ? is it ridge ? is it nick ? someone else ? it does n't matter . the point is you 've hurt a lot of people and no one more than that woman . brooke : i am your mother . why would you defend her like this ? rick : you know why ? because she deserves it . she deserves my support . when i look at taylor , i see a - a beautiful , wonderful , talented woman who 's been brought to her knees . brooke : and i 'm to blame for that ? rick : no , i 'm not here to blame you . i 'm not here to blame anybody else , for that matter . i 'm here , because someone has got to come to taylor 's defense . mom , this woman has lost so much . but you know what ? she has n't lost her faith in people . she 's never put herself before anybody else , especially those she cares about . as far back as i can remember , she -- she always plays fair . and she treats people with respect and dignity . and somehow she loses out to you time and time again . deliberate or not , mom , you 've taken everything from this woman and pushed her to the breaking point . and i do n't blame her . this is a woman who has dedicated her entire life to helping others . and because of that , she should have everything that she 's ever dreamed about . something should finally go right for her . something good , something wonderful should come into her life . brooke : ( sighs ) honey , it 's admirable that you want to stand up for taylor , but -- rick : i 'm not standing up for her because of admiration or -- or charity or pity . brooke : no , of course not . you 're defending her out of the goodness of your heart . i get it . rick : no , that 's the thing . you do n't . you do n't get it . i 'm defending her , because i care about her . she 's all i think about . all i want to do is -- is be with her and hold her . taylor , i love you . brooke : rick ? brooke : oh , my god . ( breathing heavily ) oh , my god . no !	taylor drops in on ridge to see a friendly face . he wants to know how she is doing , but she does n't want a lecture . she just wishes he 'd call his fiancee off and not bring up the dna or take brooke 's opinion that she is a basket case . she asks about his relationship with ashley and tells him he should pursue that because if he marries brooke he will be miserable the rest of his life . brooke walks in and reprimands her . how dare she try to undermine her engagement with ridge . with ridge just standing by , they end up in a shouting / shoving match until rick marches in and demands that his mom stop talking to taylor like that . ridge gets an emergency and has to leave , with rick acting as referee . katie chastises nick for sleeping with bridget without knowing where they stand . he 's not comfortable with the conversation , yet she continues . please do not break bridget 's heart again . he argues that the brooke train has run , he 's not going there again and he loves bridget and will not hurt her .
liam : what 's it been , like , a half an hour since i saw you last ? hope : mm , i think more like 37 minutes , but who 's counting ? liam : way too long . are you still home ? i 'm -- i 'm rushing back . hope : home -- i like the sound of that . liam : well , stay there . i 'll help you re - create every moment of last night . hope : well , i hate to disappoint you , but i 'm at my mom 's house . liam : oh , really ? darn . why are you calling me , then ? ( laughs ) hope : because i love you , and i ca n't wait to see you tonight liam : oh , i ca n't wait that long . are you kidding ? hope : oh , good , actually , because marcus just texted me , and he wants me to meet him over at daisy 's . want to come with me ? i 've got some errands to run , but i could swing by afterwards , and pick you up at work . liam : um , yeah , sounds good . i love you . hope : i love you , too . liam : ( sighs ) brooke : hi , honey . hope : hi . brooke : what are you doing here ? hope : oh , i just -- i just wanted to talk . sorry , i was surprised you were n't here . i guess i should have called first . i 'm -- brooke : no , no , no , it 's okay . i was dropping off r.j . hope : oh , okay . brooke : so what happened last night ? it did n't go well ? hope : uh ... ( sighs ) not at first . i mean , i was -- i was still really tense , you know , like before . brooke : oh , honey , i 'm sorry . hope : well , i am ... ( sighs ) i took one of the pills that dr. barton gave me . i really did n't want to , but , um ... ( sighs ) mom , it worked . it really helped me deal with my anxiety . brooke : good , i 'm glad . hope : yeah , yeah . i mean , it was a much better experience for both of us ... all because of this . ( scoffs ) and liam has no idea . [ scene_break ] steffy : am i interrupting ? liam : no . no , no . uh , come on in . did i miss a meeting or ... something ? steffy : no , uh , i came by to see you . steffy : sounds like everything 's going well with you and hope . liam : yeah , yeah . steffy : yeah . you smile when you talk to her . liam : ( laughs ) steffy : you sound so ... carefree . liam : things are good between us right now . we 're actually happier than we 've ever ... been . [ scene_break ] hope : i feel so weird about his . i - i really prefer not to take these . brooke : honey , it 's not like you 'll be taking them all the time . like the doctor said , just when you 're anxious or tense . hope : i was certainly tense last night . i ... oh , it does n't make sense ! you know , i love liam . i should n't be stressed out when i 'm with him . brooke : you just moved in together . you 're starting a whole new life . who would n't be on edge ? and if it 's something more , you are speaking with dr. barton ... hope : yeah . brooke : so she 'll be able to help . hope : ( inhales deeply ) ( sighs ) god , the stress really did just melt away . i was really able to be with him , you know , the way that i 'm ... supposed to be . brooke : ( chuckles ) hope : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] liam : i 'm sorry . i should n't be saying things like that . i do n't mean to hurt you . steffy : uh ... ( sighs ) no , actually , um , the last time we spoke , it just ... i picked up this vibe -- maybe there were problems between you and hope . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : i guess not . liam : no , things are , uh , pretty good . we 're in a good place . steffy : yeah , are n't you a -- a little concerned ? you know , about compatibility ? liam : you sound like you 've been talking to my dad . listen , anything that he says to you about hope being ... unstable , uh , confused , anxious , uptight , do n't buy it . he 's wrong . steffy : good . yeah . look , i just -- i did n't want to leave town if i thought hope was n't taking care of you . liam : leave town ? steffy : yes , i 'm -- i 'm flying out today . liam : like -- like a ... business trip ? steffy : no . ( sighs ) i 'm leaving los angeles . now you do n't have to worry about me being in your way anymore . [ scene_break ] brooke : i am so glad things are going well , 'cause you and liam have been through so much to get to this point . hope : i know . but you know , when you think about it , it 's -- it 's kind of silly how -- i mean , i finally move in with the man i love . we 're starting our life together , and i ca n't just sit back and enjoy it . brooke : honey , it 's normal . and now you 're seeing a therapist ... hope : ( scoffs ) yeah . brooke : and that should be helping . hope : yeah , definitely . brooke : ( gasps ) how 's this for good news ? hope : what ? brooke : steffy is leaving town . hope : no way ! brooke : ( squeals ) yes ! i should n't say `` good , `` because she is ridge 's daughter , and i really should n't celebrate , but i am . hope : um ... brooke : ( laughs ) i am . hope : wow , this is -- this is good . ( doorbell rings ) brooke : yeah , i know . you know , she 's going to aspen , but she 's not going there for good . she 's just going for a little while to clear her head and get her priorities straight . hope : huh . brooke : and i really think that steffy 's finally realizing that liam is never coming back to her . taylor : what were you saying about steffy ? brooke : oh , gosh , taylor , come in . ( laughs nervously ) um , i was just telling hope that i 'm happy s - steffy is taking a little time for herself and going out of town for a while . hope : mm . taylor : well , is ridge here ? that 's exactly why i 'm here . brooke : oh , no , i 'm sorry . he left for an early meeting . taylor : well , the two of you could at least pretend not to be so happy . [ scene_break ] liam : ( laughs ) where are you going ? steffy : to aspen . it 's not forever . liam : um , i -- i - i do n't think you should be making some hasty decision right now . it ... steffy : i 'm not . liam : well , it seems pretty quick to me . steffy : ( scoffs ) do you want me to stay ? careful , we ca n't have hope hearing that . liam : steffy , come on . hope knows i still care about you . i always will . steffy : that 's why i have to do this -- so you and hope can be alone to see if you 're really sure . liam : okay -- steffy : look , i - i just -- liam : ( sighs ) steffy : i - i came here -- i came here to tell you good - bye , okay ? liam : wait , let -- stop . ( stammers ) let 's just -- can we think about this for a second ? can we just , uh , think about it ? steffy : ( sniffles ) liam : there 's got ta be a better solution to this . i mean , i - i ca n't imagine ... steffy : ( sniffles ) liam : not having you in my life . you 're like my best friend . steffy : wha -- no , liam i am your wife . i ca n't be friends with you , at least right now . no , i - i ca n't pretend that my heart is n't breaking every time i see you . liam : but aspen ? i mean , is -- is n't -- is n't that gon na be hard ? it ... steffy : i want to be where ... ( sighs ) we said our vows and got married and started our lives together . maybe i 'll , uh , go up the mountain every day and imagine you 'll be there to greet me . or hey , um , maybe i 'll be all alone , and there 'll be some hot snowboarder guy ready to sweep me off my feet . ( chuckles ) liam : steffy , wait . wait , wait . ( door opens ) liam : ( sighs ) i want that . you know , i -- steffy : ( sniffles ) liam : i want someone to sweep you off your feet . ( chuckles ) it just means you 'd never come back . steffy : i 'll be back . maybe by then ... ( sighs ) you 'll come to your senses ... liam : ( sighs ) steffy : and you 'll realize you made a huge mistake ... ( sniffles ) thinking you could have a life with hope . steffy : good - bye . steffy : ( sobs ) ( sniffles ) ( sobs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : steffy 's been going through a lot , and i would think you would be able to empathize with that . i - i 'm very proud of steffy going away to aspen . i think it shows a great deal of maturity , separating herself from the situation . hope : aspen , that 's , um , that 's a really interesting choice . taylor : is it ? hope : do n't you think it 's kind of ironic ? i mean , she 's going back to the place where she tricked liam into marrying her . taylor : her father - in - law has a retreat there , so , no , i do n't find it very ironic at all . i find it intelligent and -- and rather resourceful . hope : okay . taylor : and there was no `` tricking . `` liam married steffy of his own free will . brooke : well , that 's open to interpretation . hope : ( sighs ) you know what ? i actually -- i have to go . uh , taylor , look , i do realize that this is a difficult time for steffy . i do . um , and i hope that she benefits from this trip , and she comes back with a new outlook . bye , mom . brooke : bye , honey . hope : thank you for everything . brooke : i love you . hope : love you , too . brooke : she 's right , you know . getting out of town could be the best thing for steffy . [ scene_break ] bill : did you approve the cover ? liam : what ? bill : the cover . you know , the little magazine i pay to be the editor of ? the cover . liam : oh , yes . sorry . sorry . yes , i was just -- i was gon na e - mail that . ( sighs ) bill : i guess i know where your mind 's been , `` prince charming . `` liam : no , i doubt it . bill : look at you . it 's pathetic -- distracted , staring off into space . you had another lackluster evening with `` snow white , `` did n't you ? liam : uh , no , actually , it 's been pretty great , like wild , crazy , passionate great . ( chuckles ) bill : so she took a bite out of the poison apple , did she ? liam : ( chuckles ) bill : then what 's the problem ? steffy . you know she 's leaving town . [ scene_break ] hope : when 's your flight ? steffy : in a couple hours . do n't really have time for a tearful good - bye . hope : i got ta say , i was surprised to hear that you were going away . steffy : do n't be too excited . just because i 'm not gon na be in l.a. does n't mean you wo n't have to deal with me . i 'm still gon na be working . hope : ( scoffs ) aspen , of all places . steffy : yeah , bill offered his house , so why would i turn it down ? mountain air , scenery ... hope : i especially like the view from the gondola . you should check it out . steffy : look , hope , aspen is very special to me . it 's where liam and i got married . hope : mm - hmm . steffy : and even though we are in the process of getting a divorce , it just makes sense to be there right now . hope : no , i - i think this is good . i know how hard it is for you to be here , to see the man you love with another woman . steffy : okay , you know what ? you know , please do n't pretend to understand you know what i 'm feeling , okay ? hope : steffy , i do understand . i 've lived it . steffy : no . no . no , not really , 'cause liam is my husband , and you do n't really understand that bond . hope : okay , you know what , steffy ? after all of the detours , all of the roadblocks that liam and have been through , we are finally starting our lives together . and you can hold on to that label of `` wife `` for as long as you want , but really , what does it mean ? steffy : um , that i 'm not committing adultery . hope : ( clears throat ) i 'll admit , you upset me the first time you said that , but that 's not what it is , and i 'm not going to let you get to me anymore . steffy : hope , if it bothered you , then you know it 's true . tell me , how does a -- a good girl like you avoid letting it `` get to you `` ? hope : i have help . steffy : really ? what kind of help ? hope : from liam , from my mother , from people who care about me , who constantly remind me that liam and i have worked through so much to get here , and we should n't be ashamed of finally being together . you can call it `` adultery `` all you want , but i 'm not listening . that 's an ugly word , and that 's not how i feel when i 'm with him . steffy : okay , okay , you know what ? i 'm not hearing this , thank you very much . hope : okay , um ... ( inhales deeply , sighs ) steffy , i did n't mean to make you uncomfortable . but you need to know that the power you held over us is gone . i 'm not going to let you guilt - trip me anymore , steffy . i am proud of who i am and the decisions i 've made . and , steffy , how is it adultery when your marriage is over ? you know , you and liam would n't even be married if you had let me see him that day in aspen . i hope you think about that when you go there . [ scene_break ] brooke : i really do respect what steffy 's doing . going to aspen will help her put things in perspective and accept the situation taylor : well , this is the situation -- whether you want to hear it or not , liam loves steffy , or he never would have married her . brooke : ( sighs ) taylor : and it may look like he 's happy playing house with hope right now , but the fact is , this divorce is going to be very hard on him , harder than you 're willing to admit . [ scene_break ] bill : you do n't want her to leave . liam : of course , i do n't . but i 'm with hope now , and if steffy needs to get out of town to deal with that , then i guess i support her . bill : why do you think it 's going to work out with hope this time around ? liam : dad -- bill : it wo n't . it wo n't . steffy is still your wife . you love her . liam : i -- bill : lim , you still have feelings for her . hold on to your marriage , son . [ scene_break ] steffy : have you said what you needed to say ? i have to go . aspen awaits me . hope : steffy , look , i did n't come here to make you mad . steffy : let me guess- you came here to get me to agree to an annulment ? do n't bother . your mother already tried . did n't work . hope : ( sighs ) oh , god . fine . you know what , steffy ? i really do n't care when your marriage ends . yes , an annulment would be great , but if you want to hold out for divorce , that 's fine . that is your call . but just so you know , liam and i are going to be married the second it is official . steffy : um , we 'll see about that . hope : ( scoffs ) steffy : look , do n't get me wrong . i do believe if liam could marry you right now , he would . but in a few months from now ... ( inhales sharply ) i 'm not so sure . hope : oh , steffy , you ca n't possibly believe that liam 's going to change his mind . steffy : well , i 'm not giving up . hope : do n't you realize that you are just prolonging your pain ? do n't you see that ? i have moved in with liam , okay ? we have started our married life together . steffy : uh , adultery , you mean . hope : uhh , steffy ! i know you think it 's wrong for me to be living with your husband . there ! i said it -- your husband . but given the circumstances of the way you deceived liam -- trapping me , refusing to let me speak to him , i hardly think that you can call your marriage `` sacred `` ! ( keys jingle , pills rattle ) hope : ( sighs ) steffy : were you going for intimidation ? because dropping your purse all over my floor kind of ruined the effect . hope : oh , god , steffy ! do n't you have a plane to catch ? ! go ! go to aspen . hole up in bill 's grand estate while you hope and wish for liam to come back to you , because frankly , i am sick of putting up with it her . ( sighs ) steffy , liam and i are solid . nothing is going to come between us , okay ? you need to get that into your head -- nothing . ( inhales slowly ) ( exhales deeply ) ( sighs ) ( exhales slowly ) ( sighs )	hope tells brooke that she was tense again last night at first , but she took one of dr. barton 's pills and everything was okay . steffy stops by to see liam and she proclaims that she hopes his night with hope was better . he warns her not to listen too much to what bill says about hope . she tells him that she is flying out of town today ; now he does n't have to worry about her being in the way anymore . he ca n't imagine her not being in his life as his best friend and wants her to reconsider . she ca n't do that . her heart is breaking every time he sees him . she declares that she will be back . maybe by then he will have come to his senses and realize he made a huge mistake . she kisses him and cries as she leaves . taylor stops by to see ridge but he 's gone for a meeting . she tells brooke and hope that they could at least pretend not to be so happy that steffy is leaving town . she thinks it is a good thing that she is going away to distance herself from all of this . bill catches liam being distracted and assumes things are not quite right yet with snow white ; he should hold on to his marriage . hope stops by steffy 's office and rags her about going to aspen . steffy gives it right back that hope is committing adultery . hope says at first that dirty word bothered her . but liam and her mother and other people that care about her have shown her it is not something to be ashamed of so steffy has no more hold over her . she can hold onto liam for as long as she can , but they will be married the second the divorce is final . she gets flustered and drops her purse , spilling the contents including the pill bottle . hope lashes out at steffy to go catch that plane because nothing is going to get in the way of her and liam .
[ glass clinks ] brooke : [ laughs ] if someone were to walk in right now ... bill : we 're celebrating . brooke : it 's the way we 're celebrating . you know katie does n't want to see you drinking . bill : not even katie is gon na deny me a glass of champagne after what we just pulled off . brooke : thank you ... again . [ giggles ] i love being a businesswoman . this is what i do . bill : and nobody in the fashion world does it better . too bad a certain shrink ca n't appreciate it . brooke : she 's not very happy , you know . taylor 's not gon na take what happened ... lying down . bill : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] taylor : i really debated whether or not i should even come to you with this , but after what happened today at forrester -- katie : i already know what happened . donna told me . taylor : how would donna know ? she was n't there when brooke ... katie : what ? taylor : [ sighs ] katie , brooke made a pitch to eric today . katie : okay . taylor : in some very inappropriate lingerie . katie : [ scoffs ] taylor : brooke wants to relaunch her whole lingerie line , the brooke 's bedroom . and bill is n't just supporting her . it was his idea . [ scene_break ] rick : this ... probably is n't a good idea . caroline : oh , who cares ? you 're president . rick : exactly . what if , um , you know , somebody walked in -- caroline : oh , just stop and kiss me . you 're thinking about someone . but it is n't me . [ scene_break ] dayzee : oh , ca n't stop thinking about him , can you ? maya : how could i ? someone so sweet , down on his luck . that 's why he was working so hard at dayzee 's , right ? or so i thought . wait . so , he was n't homeless ? dayzee : when he left after his shift last night , i had the sense that he did n't have anywhere to go . later , i 'm standing at the window , and he 's on a cardboard box in the alley . so i invited him up . dayzee : wait a second . maya , he spent the night ? maya : i know , i know . but he was a perfect gentleman . and besides , it 's not like he was a stranger . dayzee : okay . well , you still have n't told me the name of this mystery waiter that you 've fallen for . maya : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] caroline : who is she ? i 'll scratch her eyes out . rick : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] caroline : rick forrester , i am standing her in my underpants waiting to be ravaged , and you are reading sales reports ? ! rick : the numbers are not what they were supposed to be this quarter . i 've just -- you know , look , caroline , i 've been a bit distracted . caroline : apparently . but not by me . so ... i 'm gon na ask you again . who is she ? rick : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] maya : i never said that i -- dayzee : you did n't have to . it 's clear he made an impression . maya : well , when he takes you to rodeo drive on a shopping spree ... dayzee : wait . wait . i thought you said he was -- maya : a pretend shopping spree is one of the ritziest stores that i have ever been in . you know forrester creations , right ? well , they have this boutique on rodeo drive , and it 's like stepping into a whole other world -- a world that people like us only dream of . i did n't understand why he was taking me there . now i do ... and i wish i did n't . [ scene_break ] taylor : you understand what this means . your husband -- katie : is encouraging brooke to reinvolve herself at forrester , and i think that 's a good idea . i do n't see a problem with this . taylor : [ sighs ] well , the problem is it 's the way that she 's reinvolving herself . she 's running around the office with hardly anything on , and bill is right there , encouraging her all the way . who knows where this could lead , if it has n't already ? [ scene_break ] brooke : taylor 's going to try to change eric 's mind about brooke 's bedroom the minute he gets back from nikki and victor 's wedding in genoa city . they do share a bed . bill : yeah , you make a good point . but you know what ? let 's , uh -- let 's give eric the benefit of the doubt for now . we 'll keep an eye on him . and the rest of the world -- they 're gon na be keeping an eye on you . no one else could have pulled this off . steffy gave it a hell of a try , as beautiful as she is . gorgeous , sexy lingerie -- that 's the domain of the one and only brooke logan . [ scene_break ] maya : at first , i felt self - conscious , you know ? i mean , being in such a fancy boutique , all those gorgeous , expensive gowns -- it was like being in a fantasy world . but then , trying on those dresses , one more gorgeous than the next -- i 've never felt more beautiful or more special . it 's not like we could afford anything . a wannabe actress and a waiter ? i mean , hello ? but then something happened that i never expected . dayzee : uh - huh ? maya : turns out the poor , homeless waiter is n't poor or homeless . he 's a forrester -- rick forrester . i know , right ? all this time at dayzee 's , i was talking to a forrester . can you believe it ? dayzee : yeah . i , um -- i can . you 're talking to one right now . [ chuckles ] marcus is a forrester . his adoptive dad is eric forrester , which is rick 's dad . maya : so ... you 're dayzee forrester now ? dayzee : yeah . maya : wow . [ scene_break ] rick : i really -- i do n't know why that you 're taking this so personally . caroline : um , i do n't know . maybe it 's because not that long ago , you were the one wanting me all the time , and ever since you started working at dayzee 's ... which i still do n't understand why that place turns you on so much . i mean , with how hard you work , it 's just not my idea of a good time . [ sighs ] look , since you 're so squeamish about the office , let 's take off and i 'll go get all glammed up and we can hit a couple of the new hot spots and party into the wee hours . rick : mm . caroline : we 're long overdue , rick . and we used to have such a great time , and it was so much fun , and i miss that . [ scene_break ] katie : bill should have told me about this himself . i will admit that , but we both know how you feel about my sister . taylor : no , no , katie . no . this does n't have anything to do with that . katie : you 're not looking for something to judge her like you have in the past ? taylor : no , i can assure you my concerns are valid . katie : you 're concerned because they 're relaunching the lingerie campaign ? taylor : katie , listen to me . there 's already been a kiss between your husband and your sister . a line has been crossed , emotions have been triggered , and once that line has been crossed with your sister , it does n't take very much for those emotions to resurface , especially if they 're alone . or if he 's there supporting her . okay , listen to me . this is what happened today . when i was at forrester creations , they were in the showroom , and bill was there with her , helping her . and he was going on and on about all of her great assets . look , what i did n't like was the way he was looking at her and the way they were looking at each other . katie , it 's like there is some sort of relationship -- something that has bonded them . i do n't know what it is . i do n't know where it will go ... or how far it 's already gone . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] brooke : you do realize that none of this would be happening without you . i would be wandering that big , empty house all alone , wondering if i was ever gon na have any excitement again . this reminds me of when i discovered belief . it 's that same kind of thrill . bill : i wonder what ridge will say when he finds out that brooke 's bedroom is back and better than ever . my guess is he 'll kick himself for ever letting you go . brooke : i am more motivated now than i ever have been , and it 's because of one very special person . [ scene_break ] caroline : well , you are off the hook . angelina 's masseuse was able to fit me in . and , yes , you should be worried . [ door closes ] rick : [ sighs ] [ sighing ] oh , maya . [ scene_break ] maya : why did n't you tell me before ? dayzee : [ scoffs ] it , you know , just never came up . anyway , so , you and rick ? maya : there is no rick and me . dayzee : but you invited him up here -- maya : and i got burned . i think i would have learned by now . dayzee : you told him . maya : he just seemed so honest -- like knowing me , all of me , is something he really wanted . but it was n't real . he was n't real ... as much as i wanted him to be . [ scene_break ] taylor : katie , i witnessed it firsthand . there is definitely a - a bond there . [ sighs ] and they made it very clear they will be working very closely together . now , this is the part that i have already lived . i know how it goes . she 'll be running around in very skimpy lingerie . she 'll be parading around asking him to check all the different angles . katie : [ scoffs ] taylor : no , i 'm not kidding . and they will be up there very late every night . katie : okay , okay , okay . taylor : and then she 'll be -- katie : all right . enough . enough . i do n't want to hear any more of this . [ sighs ] hey , donna , it 's katie . hi . um , you remember how you said you wanted to babysit for me ? well , i 'd like to take you up on that offer . can you come back and watch will ? all right . thanks . all right . bye . [ cell phone beeps ] katie : i 'm assuming you can stay until donna gets here . taylor : yes . sure . [ door opens , closes ] [ scene_break ] bill : well , it looks like someone 's glass is empty . brooke : wait a minute . i - i feel a little tipsy already from that first glass . i do n't think i should . bill : of course , you should . how many times are you going to experience what we experienced today ? brooke : bill ... bill : do n't say it . brooke : i already have . bill : all right . then ... you have done your sisterly duty . you -- you -- you had your sister 's back . you warned me not to drink . brooke : she just wants you to be -- bill : i know what she wants , brooke . she wants me to be someone i 'm not . i 'm arrogant , i 'm brash , i 'm pigheaded , but i 'm also passionate about everything i do and everyone i love . the katie i married -- she was drawn to that . the katie i live with now is repelled by it . the katie i married -- she wanted to soften my edges . okay . no problem . i compromised . the katie i live with now -- she wants to transform me . i 'm not having it . i am who i am , and i 'm not changing for katie or for anyone . brooke : well , um ... i could talk to her again for you , if you 'd like . bill : nothing would make me happier than if you could help my wife find the woman she used to be ... because the katie i married -- she was ... she was more like you . [ scene_break ] maya : when the clerk slipped up and called him mr. forrester , at first it did n't register . i mean , what are the odds , you know ? but then rick tried to explain himself . dayzee : and how did you leave things ? maya : what would you have done in my place ? i felt played . the last thing i want to be right now is somebody 's charity case . i want him to like me for me . dayzee : so , you -- you broke it off ? maya : there was nothing to break off . us meeting was a fluke . dayzee : i still do n't understand why he did n't explain who he was in the beginning . maya : he did n't plan it that way . being rick the waiter gave him a chance to be a regular guy , maybe for the first time in his life . he never meant to hurt me . dayzee : look , maya , rick is handsome and he 's nice . he 's dated a lot of sophisticated , beautiful women , and i hear he 's actually pretty hot and heavy with caroline spencer of spencer publications ' dynasty . and you might need to respect that . i mean , two wealthy , powerful l.a. families -- i would n't be surprised if they got married someday . it 's actually good that nothing happened with rick . maya : we kissed on rodeo drive . it was -- dayzee : it was risky . i mean , can you imagine if a photographer had spotted the two of you ? i mean , the explaining that rick would have to do ? look , i did you a favor , and you have an opportunity to get back on your feet -- no rent , no restrictions -- but i have one for you now -- no more rick forrester . it 's not gon na happen . and you 've had enough heartbreak to last you a lifetime , maya . [ scene_break ] brooke : i just love lingerie . i love the way it makes me feel , it 's very elegant , and when i wear it , it 's just -- oh , it 's just marvelous . bill : well , i 'm gon na be your best customer . i 'll buy a thousand of them . brooke : really ? that many ? bill : you bet . katie will wear every single -- [ sighs ] well , there was a time when katie would have worn them all . now if i ask her to put on a teddy , she 'd send me to a shrink for sex addiction . brooke : just be patient with her . she 's still coming out of a rough time . bill : yeah . you 're right . i know she is . but you -- [ chuckles ] you 're back in the spotlight . you 're ready to conquer the world , recapture the glory days of brooke 's bedroom . this line 's gon na go through the roof . you 're going to arouse the world , brooke -- men and women , one by one . brooke : how do you know ? bill : how do i know ? how do i know ? brooke : [ giggles ] bill : because i know . you did it ! and i 'm so proud of you . brooke : oh ! [ laughs ] [ gasps ] oh . katie : take your hands off my husband ! [ sighs ]	bill and brooke celebrate over a glass of champagne . she does warn him that if anyone , like katie , was to walk in that they may take it wrong . he says even katie would not spare them the joy of this moment . brooke reminds him that taylor sure wo n't give him a pass though , she will not take this lying down . at that , brooke drapes herself seductively across the bed behind them . she goes on how motivated and alive she feels now .and it 's all because of one special person . she puts out her hand and covers his while she smiles . caroline pouts and feel awfully embarrassed that she is standing there half naked in front of rick , and he is not interested in a quickie and can only look at the sales reports . she teases him by kissing him and then accuses him of not responding so he must be thinking about someone else .. she will scratch their eyes out . when she leaves , rick feels stifled and the first word he utters is maya . maya confesses her day at the forrester boutique to dayzee . she 's shocked when she finds out dayzee is also a forrester since she is married to marcus and eric is his adopted father . she wants to believe that rick is real , but she finds it hard to accept that he 's not also a homeless person that she can relate to . she would like to be liked for herself , not as a charity case . dayzee says she is glad nothing happened between maya and rick . as far as she knows he is pretty hot and heavy with caroline spenser and they will probably get married . so maybe she better forget rick as she has already had enough heartbreak in her life . taylor continues to tell katie that her concerns are valid . there has already been a kiss between her sister and bill and now they will be alone and working closely and that line most likely will be crossed again . she does n't know how it started or where it may go , but it 's worth watching for . katie listens to the rants and finally tells taylor that she has heard enough . she goes to the phone though and calls donna to say she will take her up on that babysitting she offered if she can come back over .

[ scene_break ] katie : [ chuckles ] this is so crazy . ridge : what ? katie : [ sighs ] i just feel like you 've been hiding in plain sight . ridge : [ sighs ] katie : i mean , have you really been standing in front of me my whole life , and i 've just never seen you ? ridge : we 're not the same people that we were . i 'm not the same guy that went to paris , and that 's a good thing . katie : why is it ? ridge : well , 'cause before , i was kind of stuck . i learned a lot about myself . katie : what did you learn ? ridge : well , number one , turns out i ca n't control the future . katie : [ chuckles ] ridge : and , number two , i ca n't live in the past . katie : sometimes , the past is hard to let go of . ridge : but the future can be a lot of fun if you have no expectations and just let things happen . katie : is that what you 're doing now -- letting things happen ? ridge : all i want right now is this moment with you . i really do n't care what happens next . katie : no expectations , huh ? no worrying about the future ? no mourning the past ? no fears ? no regrets ? can we do that ? ridge : i think we can try . [ scene_break ] brooke : [ slurring ] maybe you would have approved . [ sighs ] maybe you would have wanted ridge with katie . [ sighs ] well , she is so different from me . [ sighs ] so ... good . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] but you saw the good in me , did n't you ? i know you did . towards the end ... you cared about me .

quinn : this video -- is -- is it for real ? i mean , it 's ... it 's brooke and bill ... shauna : kissing . quinn : they 're not kissing . they 're all over each other ! in the cabin ? shauna : the night before thomas ' wedding . quinn : look , i know that brooke has turned to bill in the past , but why would she take this risk ? she 's been working so hard to -- to fix her relationship with ridge . shauna : it seemed that way . maybe she wasn't . maybe she 's not committed to ridge . katie : well , i guess i do n't have to ask how you 're feeling . i can just look at your beautiful face . brooke : seriously , i have n't been this relieved since , well , since your transplant . katie : relieved and vindicated because not everybody knows the truth about thomas . brooke : oh , i started to believe that it would n't happen ? i mean , as hard as i tried , i really tried to get ridge to see that thomas was still after hope . katie : well , and you wre right . i 'm so happy for you . i know how you much love ridge and how much you missed him , and now you have him back . and the two of you can just enjoy your lives together . brooke : [ chuckles ] sally : [ sighs ] wyatt : oh , hey , uh ... you sure you 're okay with me delaying our walk on the beach ? i just -- i feel bad . sally : yeah , you have to get to work , wyatt . sounded important . wyatt : i know but i 'd rather , like , stay here , pamper you . [ chuckles ] sally : well , that is all you 've been doing since i moved in , and i love it , but i do n't wan na give your father another reason to hate me again . wyatt : come on . that 's not gon na happen . sally : yeah , well , i do n't wan na tempt fate , so ... go . wyatt : okay . see you later . [ door closes ] shauna : bill is with brooke 's sister . they have a little boy together . quinn : yeah , but it was n't that long ago that brooke and bill were hot and heavy . oh , and it drove ridge crazy . he flew halfway around the world to stop their wedding . if you think brooke despises you , that 's nothing compared to the way ridge feels about bill . when ridge sees this video , this is gon na be the end of his relationship with brooke for good . [ knock on door ] wyatt : yeah ? hey ! wyatt : uh , i did n't know you were stopping by . flo : i was n't planning on it , but i really missed you . wyatt : mm . i missed you , too . sorry . [ chuckles ] flo : so it 's okay that i , uh , i came ? wyatt : yeah , of course , no . more than okay . flo : just did n't wan na make things , you know , more difficult or anything , you know ? uh , so how is everything going ? how 's sally ? [ knock on door ] sally : dr. escobar ! dr. escobar : i ca n't force you to take my calls , but you are going to talk to me , sally . sally : you ca n't be here . dr. escobar : are you alone ? sally : yes . dr. escobar : we could have done this on the phone , but you hung up on me , so here i am . you ca n't play around with your diagnosis . you ca n't let this go any longer . [ sighs ] you have to tell everyone the truth . how do you get skin happy 24/7 ? flo : sally really has n't opened up to you at all about her illness ? wyatt : uh , you know , i wish she would . i do n't wan na push too much to give away that i know she 's dying . flo : i mean , do you think that maybe she suspects it or something ? wyatt : no , if she did , i think she 'd leave , which is why i 've had to be so careful , and that 's what makes it so hard . like , i do n't want her to be afraid to be honest with me . whatever she 's going through , we -- we can deal with it . i want her to trust me that i will be there for her , but ... [ sighs ] i mean , i guess after how i treated her in the past , i understand why she doesn't . flo : you are there for her , whether she fully understands it or not . wyatt : i know . it 's just ... it would be a whole lot easier if we could both be honest . like , i hate the fact that we are both keeping this secret from each other . sally : i made it clear that i do n't wan na get into this with you . i want you to leave . dr. escobar : this problem is n't going away , and neither am i . sally : i said leave . now . dr. escobar : not until we deal with this . sally : there 's nothing to deal with , okay ? i want you to leave , so just get out of here . please , leave me alone . katie : well , you had to know it was gon na work out . you and ridge are never apart for very long . brooke : but this time , it seemed like there was so much more to overcome . and thomas was n't the only one driving a wedge between us . if i knew that shauna was over there living in the guest house , i never would have let ridge go over there . i mean , she was ready to pounce . katie : i just ca n't believe that quinn encouraged shauna to go after ridge . brooke : she never liked me . you know that . so she targeted ridge . she wanted her and her best friend shauna to have a forrester man . i mean , but ridge did n't see that . he just thought that shauna and him were friends . katie : well , they kissed , so ... that sounds a lot more than friendly . brooke : yeah . shauna : quinn , it does n't matter how i got this video . i need to know what to do with it . quinn : what do you mean ? shauna : i 'm thinking about deleting it . quinn : no , no , do n't you dare ! you love ridge . how many times have you told me that ? shauna : yes , and this could hurt him very badly . quinn : oh , but it could hurt brooke so much more . oh , come on ! this video proves that brooke is cheating on ridge . brooke : he was unfaithful with me . quinn : oh ! we 're talking about ridge 's arch rival -- brooke 's sister 's husband . brooke : bill and katie are n't even married . quinn : oh , no , shauna , come on . big picture here . you finally have all the ammo you need to take brooke down and end her marriage to ridge for good . flo : so sally 's just hiding her symptoms every day ? wyatt : yep , and it 's not like she 's gon na be able to hide it forever , either . like , she 's living with me . like , this morning , her hand was shaking , and -- and she spilled some orange juice , and she tried to play it off . but i know what 's really going on , and i could n't comfort her , and i just -- i had to , i mean , act like it was no big deal . flo : i 'm sorry . wyatt : no , it 's fine . i mean , i 'm the one who made this decision , and i 'm not questioning it either . i just ... it 's a lot harder than i thought it was gon na be . flo : what you 're doing for her makes me love you even more . i know it 's really hard , but we both know it 's the right thing , and it 's actually really beautiful . wyatt : you know what else is beautiful ? you and your attitude and your support and encouragement in all of this . well , i 'm -- i am so grateful to you to let me have this time with sally . flo : of course . dr. escobar : i 'm not leaving , sally , not until you put an end to this . you need to deal with this before it 's too late . katie : well , you do n't have to worry about quinn or shauna anymore . brooke : oh , i know . i just ca n't help thinking about everything ridge and i have been through . katie : okay , let me give you a little piece of advice , right ? everything is good right now . so just focus on where you are and do n't think about anything or anyone else . brooke : says the woman who thinks about everybody but herself . katie : [ laughs ] brooke : i just wan na thank you for being there and for supporting me through this . i really did n't wan na burden you . just wanted you to get better after your transplant and focus on your recovery . katie : you can always talk to me about anything . brooke : thank you . i 'm just so glad that everything 's working out for us . you 're back with bill , raising your son , your sweet little family . i 'm so happy for you , sweetie . it 's all i ever wanted for you . katie : oh . quinn : you have proof that brooke is the slut from the valley like stephanie always said she was . shauna : i did n't stick around to see if anything else happened . quinn : you did n't have to . ridge is gon na go crazy when he sees his wife in bill 's arms . shauna : oh , i hate this . i mean , do you wan na know what ridge was doing right before i saw this ? he was telling me how much he loves her and how hopeful he was that , you know , thomas ' marriage to zoe would make things right between them and that they would be back together . despite everything , ridge is very committed to brooke . quinn : that can change if you want it to . shauna : quinn , i went over to see brooke to tell her she did n't have to worry about me , that she just had to get her head straight and get her husband back . you know , when i went to the house , i could n't find her , so i walked down to the cabin , and i was about to knock , and that 's when i saw brooke and bill , and i do n't know what they were saying . it was clearly a very intimate moment , and then all of a sudden , brooke 's in bill 's arms , and they 're kissing . i mean , i was so shocked . and i do n't know why i pulled out my phone . i just -- i could n't help myself . quinn : thank god you did , because now bill and brooke ca n't deny any of it . there is no way that brooke can giggle and shimmy her way out of this . when you show that video to ridge ... shauna : it will kill him . quinn : no , it 's not gon na surprise him all that much . i mean , brooke 's let him down before plenty of times . shauna : but that 's on her . if i take this to him , that 's on me . and then i 'm exactly the -- the vindictive , self - serving predator that brooke accuses me of . i 'm better than that , quinn . i did n't know what to do with this before , but now that i know how ridge feels about bill , there is no way i am going to let ridge see this video . dr. escobar : i can help you explain . sally : i did n't ask you to help me . the truth will become apparent soon enough . it 's better to be honest . sally : that is not your decision to make . i am handling this the way that i think is best for me . dr. escobar : yeah , but i 'm part of this , too . you really need to think about what you 're doing . sally : this is my life . just stay out of it . dr. escobar : it 's too late for that , and you know it . sally : look , nobody will know . dr. escobar : it will come out . you ca n't keep this secret . sally : oh , yes , i can , and i will for as long as i need to , and you 're not gon na say anything about it . do you understand ? dr. escobar : sally , you ca n't ask that . sally : why ? you already agreed to it . dr. escobar : i have other patients . i drove all the way out here . sally : not my fault . wyatt : sally ? uh ... what 's going on ? who 's ... who 's this ? dr. escobar : you must be wyatt . i 'm dr . escobar . sally : she 's my doctor . wyatt : oh . uh ... you do house calls . that 's , uh -- dr. escobar : well , sally 's a special case . i 'm really glad to finally be meeting you , wyatt . you deserve to know what 's going on with her . i know that sally 's been reluctant to talk to you about it , but i really think i need to tell you -- sally : no . no . it 's fine . i will tell him . [ sighs ] man , i really did n't wan na have to do this . things have been so good . for the first time in a long time , i 've felt at peace , and i 've felt happy . i think you have , too . wyatt : we are . sally : i just did n't wan na wreck that . i just thought i lost you , wyatt . and then you came back , and now you 're here , and we 're here together , and ... i just do n't want you to look at me any differently . but you need to know the truth -- the thing that i have n't wanted to tell you . i 've been keeping a really horrible secret from you , wyatt . wyatt : [ clears throat ] sally : i 'm sick . that is why dr . escobar is here . i 'm ... i 'm dying . wyatt : dying ? quinn : what are you saying ? i do n't understand . shauna : i should n't have taken this video , you know ? i mean , i ca n't show it to ridge . quinn : why , because you 're afraid it 's gon na upset brooke ? shauna : no , i mean , i 'm no fan of brooke 's . she 's been horrible to me . quinn : yes , she has . shauna : i am not in the business to destroy marriages , and i am not gon na get in between brooke and ridge . quinn : yes , but it 's going to be because of brooke and bill . you did n't do anything wrong . ridge has a right to know . do you really think that brooke is going to tell ridge ? because if she was going to , she would 've done it already , and he would be on his way to this house right now to come and find you , but no , little miss conniving is going to hide this , and you ca n't let her do that to ridge . you have to defend the man you love . what about katie ? katie , who has been so good to flo . i mean , you 're gon na let brooke lie to katie , too ? she 's fooling around with the father of her child again . i mean , come on , you 're not gon na be the reason that brooke and ridge 's marriage falls apart . i mean , you 're going to be saving ridge and katie from the humiliation of being lied to again . i mean , come on , this is ridge forrester . if you wan na land him , now 's your chance . shauna : i hear you . but you have a stake in this , too , quinn . quinn : of course i do . i admit that . i would love to get rid of -- of brooke and get her out of this fam -- she wants to take down my portrait . she wants to replace it with stephanie 's . she thinks that she is the forrester matriarch , but she 's not , not when she 's sneaking around with bill behind -- behind her husband and her sister 's back . and you and ridge , you really have something special , shauna . shauna : i know . we do , but he 's a married man , quinn . how can i condemn brooke for kissing bill when she knows i 've kissed ridge ? quinn : this is different . brooke and bill have a history together . and for -- for ridge and katie 's sake , i do n't wan na see that repeated . you have to do this . shauna : i do n't wan na be that woman . quinn : you have to show ridge that video . he would want to know the truth . fine ! fine , can i at least see it one more time before you delete it ? shauna : yes . quinn : go get a drink and relax . shauna : well , you know what ? it 's not even about the video or even what brooke did . it 's me . it just feels so wrong , me running to ridge and snitching on his wife . i mean , i ca n't do that . i can't . i ca n't target ridge 's happiness . why would i do that to him ? you know ? here . let me have that back , please . quinn : fine . shauna : here . you finish that . look , i know you 're disappointed . but i ca n't let this video be the reason to take down brooke . i can't . and i ca n't cause that kind of pain to ridge . i ca n't do that to him . [ chimes ] quinn : gotcha , bitch .	quinn is shocked that shauna showed her the video of bill and brooke kissing . quinn thinks ridge will hit the roof when he sees it . shauna wants to delete the video because she does n't want ridge to be hurt . quinn thinks she should use it to get ridge away from brooke . they discuss it , but shauna refuses to use it and insists on deleting it . quinn urges her to take a drink and relax . quinn says she 'll delete it , but instead , she sends it to someone . meanwhile , katie chats with brooke , who 's very happy to be back with ridge . they talk about what happened with thomas and also how quinn keeps pushing shauna on ridge . brooke is grateful for katie 's support and glad that she 's back with her little family .

[ scene_break ] brooke : katie , there 's nothing going on between us . i ca n't believe what you 're insinuating . katie : [ sighs ] i do n't know what to think . bill : obviously , i realize how this could look . brooke : we were just celebrating . bill helped me pull off a major coup . eric agreed to relaunch brooke 's bedroom -- my line . it 's really very exciting . we were just having a toast to our success . katie : and you did n't have time to put some clothes on or maybe move the celebration off the bed , or maybe you just did n't want to . brooke : what ? what i 'm wearing is irrelevant . this is product line . it 's business . you know that . katie : [ scoffs ] bill : we did n't even know we were making this presentation until a few hours ago . otherwise we would have told you about it . brooke : look , just take a step back and maybe you would be happy for me . in fact , you could join in the festivities . katie : what are you doing drinking with my husband , anyway ? bill : the champagne was my idea . katie : you know that that 's an issue for me . and you 're encouraging it . brooke : i do n't think bill has a drinking problem . katie : what you think does n't matter . it 's not any of your business . brooke : you need to accept bill for who he is . katie : how dare you tell me what i need to do for my husband . this has nothing to do with you . brooke : he needs some support . he needs somebody to listen to him . and most of the time , it seems like you 're unavailable , or maybe you 're not even interested . katie : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] rick : listen , taylor . bill is a shareholder in this company . he has a vested interest in forrester creations . taylor : [ chuckles ] he 's never been involved like this before . rick : bill has every right to help us develop new campaigns , especially if he knows that we 're struggling . nobody hates losing money more than that guy . taylor : secretly working on a lingerie line with brooke ? it 's just wrong . rick : you 're being a sore loser . thomas and your family just lost to your number - one rival , and you do n't like it . taylor : [ scoffs ] well , after all bill 's done to hope , i ca n't imagine she 's too thrilled about your mother being in bed with him . rick : i do n't think i like what you 're implying . [ scene_break ] brooke : bill has been coming to me as a friend for acceptance and understanding because he 's not getting it from you . katie : really ? is that how you feel , bill ? brooke : let me talk to my sister alone . bill : sure . brooke : katie , what are you doing ? you 've got to ease up . you 're making this alcohol issue into a big deal when it is n't one . you ca n't lecture him , especially a strong - willed man like bill . he is very successful . he is very driven . he loves you . he adores will . i do n't think you realize what you really have . and he 's very loyal to the people he cares about . katie : [ chuckling ] wow . listen to you -- so full of admiration and praise for my husband . i would think it was great if i did n't know better , but this is how it starts , is n't it ? listen , i get that you want to save the company and that bill 's trying to help you , but you 're anything but naive . he 's a man , and here you are , dressed like this , alone with him . brooke : [ sighs ] katie , please . you 've got to understand -- katie : no . bill and i are a family , and i will not be one of your victims . we both know your history . i know exactly what happens when you get caught up in something and you follow your heart . you end up in bed with the wrong man . and it sure as hell is not going to be mine . [ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] steffy is having your baby . she 's gon na be your wife . and i hate it . but it 's happening . and i 'm sorry , liam , but i 've really gotten to a place where i can not handle her . i ca n't handle seeing her face or hearing her voice or hearing her stupid heels clack down the hallway . [ both sigh ] liam : i 'm sorry . hope : part of me will always , always think that she got pregnant on purpose . she 's smart , liam . she 's a smart girl . she knows about birth control and taking precautions . liam : yeah , i - i know . but that responsibility was on both of us . hope : yeah , that 's true , but i bet as far as you knew , you were being careful . [ scoffs ] steffy has never played fair , ever . and i - i know that you have found a place for her in your heart , but i will never , ever be able to do that . she took so much from me , so much from us , liam . and every day that goes by without you in my life hurts so bad . and it 's not fair . liam : i know . hope : we were robbed , liam . they took our life . they took everything from us . and now it 's done . it 's really over . you 're having a family with steffy , and it is my worst nightmare coming true . liam : i do n't know what to say . hope : i know . i know . there 's nothing you can . hope : [ sighs ] [ sighs , sniffles ] [ scene_break ] brooke : stop taking bill for granted . he 's a wonderful husband , a wonderful father . he 's been very patient , very forgiving . sometimes i do n't think you realize how lucky you are to have a man like bill in your life . [ scene_break ] taylor : brooke wants what she ca n't have , and she 'll stop at nothing to get it . it does n't matter whose life she destroys in the process . it 's a psychosis . i do n't expect you to get it . rick : my mom is not hurting anyone . she is relaunching her very , very successful lingerie line . bill is helping her . stop trying to make something that it 's not . taylor : into what ? an excuse to spend time with an attractive , powerful , influential man , wearing next to nothing to win him over ? an opportunity like that is like a drug to your mother . this is how it always begins . i 've watched it happen . i 've lived it , and i do n't want to see it happen to katie . rick : bite your tongue . you watch what you say about my family . in fact , get over it . move on with your life . stop obsessing about brooke logan . [ scene_break ] katie : you think you can just take him from me , do n't you ? that you can have any man you want ? brooke : where 's all this coming from ? i told you -- nothing is going on between bill and me . i do n't even see him that way . katie : oh , i can hear it in your voice . i can see it in your eyes -- that -- that look you get when you want something . you 're compelled to go after it . you think you can just take my husband from me with your lingerie and your flirty , little giggle and everything else you do that captivates men . brooke : you 're kidding me , right ? i mean , you actually think i 'm gon na make a move on your husband ? katie : oh , it 's coming . i do n't know how or when , but its coming . you will make that move , you will cross that line , and you wo n't be able to take it back , brooke . brooke : what is wrong with you ? ! did you stop taking your medication ? katie : [ sighs ] working with you , the teddies , the drinking -- you are leading my husband down the path to disaster ! bill : everything okay out here ? katie : it will be . you will not be drinking with my sister . you will not be approving teddies or meeting or working with her in any way , shape , or form . bill : orders , katie ? katie : because you need to tell her to get any idea , any hope whatsoever that anything might develop between the two of you . because she needs to hear it . there 's no way . brooke : i tried to tell her she has the wrong idea . she just wo n't listen to me . katie : you are my husband . you are my husband . you are the father of my child , so this will never happen ! tell her , bill . she needs to hear it from you . tell her . she needs to hear the words come out of your mouth . tell her .	katie bursts into the room and demands that brooke get the hell away from her husband ; keep her hands off of him . bill and brooke pull apart and he tells his wife that she needs to calm down . this is not what it looks like . katie tells bill that she heard all about the re - launch of brooke 's bedroom and that it was his idea . she thought how sweet and supportive he was when brooke was trying to reclaim her place in the company , but she guesses he forgot to mention that she was going to be parading around in her underwear . she realizes they have been drinking . he says she is over - reacting . she goes ballistic . he is the one drinking when she asked him not to and rolling around on the bed with her sister , and yet bill has the nerve to say she is over- reacting . so innocently bill says the bed is a prop , brooke has on a costume . it 's part of her own line . brooke pipes up that there is nothing going on . bill was just helping her with the presentation . katie wonders if they think she is stupid . katie says they have already shared a kiss and now they are launching a lingerie line together . she trusted them , but maybe she made a mistake . rick is having coffee by himself up on the rooftop when taylor walks up and makes a snide remark that at least some forrester 's have their clothes on . he says his mom pulled off a major coup and that took guts . taylor states that it was a desperate move on her part to upstage her son in his presentation . rick says yes and it worked . his dad liked the idea and brooke 's bedroom is back in business . thomas had his shot and finished his presentation fair and square . but brooke swooped in with a much better finale . he knows taylor is really disappointed , but it really is what is best for the company . taylor says no ; eric did not even have time to think about this . but when he does , she is sure he will realize that green lighting brooke 's bedroom is a huge mistake . rick tells her that today just was not thomas 's day . he will have to work a lot harder to knock him out of his presidency . he gave it a good shot , but it still does n't hold a candle to what bill and his mom came up with . it 's just business , pure and simple , no hard feelings . she informs him that she just came from katie 's where she told her what was going on and she 's not sure that she will believe it is just business . hope is alone in eric 's office looking at sketches when liam comes in expecting to find steffy . hope says she is probably off consoling thomas and fills liam in on what just happened , and all due to his dear old dad . liam asks if she is all right as he sensed something was wrong when he came in . she explains that she just came across a sketch of steffy 's wedding dress . she thinks he 'd better marry her as soon as possible as it is fitted and she wo n't be able to fit into it for long . that turns into a pity party of how hard it is to see steffy every single day and that she even asked her to leave fc . she hates it , but she can not stand to see her face , to hear her voice or even her stupid heels clacking along the hallway . she is practically preaching that steffy has never played fair and now she has taken him away from her and it hurts like hell . they were robbed of everything . she says now it 's really over and her worse nightmare is coming true . liam goes to her and they hug .

[ sighs ] i do n't even want to go there . katie : okay , i -- i 'm sorry . i do n't want to hurt you . brooke : then stop ! stop ! stop with these horrible things that you 're saying ! i do n't need my little sister putting doubts in my mind about the man i 'm going to marry ! katie : you have my support ! of course , you do ! brooke : okay , well , then if i do , you will admit that these things that you 've been seeing , it 's just a misinterpreted look or feel . katie : please . you need to listen to me . brooke : no ! you need to listen to me ! i do n't want to hear one more word about my fiancé and eric 's wife . and if you do n't understand that , you 're gon na have to take the next plane back to los angeles . nothing , and i mean nothing , is happening between ridge and quinn .	katie repeats again there is something going on between ridge and quinn . ridge walks up and brooke says they will talk about this later . sally has had enough with the couple from hell so says she needs to stretch her legs . they start teasing her and especially that she is a designer . and then they call her a stalker if she is going to australia to meet someone who is n't even her boyfriend or does not know she is coming . they wish her luck with her young man . in their rooms , quinn tells eric that he is her hero . and eric reminds her that ridge has done an about face and because of him so have the others in the family . ridge asks brooke what is the problem . she is not sure there is one and would prefer not to talk at all . she starts kissing him . she says nothing is wrong . she is about to marry the man she has waited for most of her life . liam says he is in trouble . ivy and steffy will not give away any of their wedding secrets . he just wants to go traditional and normal but he is not sure with them . steffy tells him it will be a day he will not forget .
ridge : taylor , i 'm listening to you . i 'm trying to make sense of what you 're saying , but i 'm -- i ... taylor : i 'm telling you that douglas has lost his mother . and hope has lost a child . ridge : and that is incredibly tragic , but i 'm -- i do n't know how much -- taylor : i 'm -- i 'm trying to help you understand that when i was in the kitchen the other day and i saw them together , and the way hope was comforting him , the way he responded to her ... and the way she responded to him . it 's like ... ridge : okay , listen to me . i know you 're worried about douglas , i get that . he has thomas , he has you , he has me . he has karen and dani . there 's a lot of people who care about that little boy . and , yes , hope is one of those people , but she -- taylor : but i 'm wrong to even bring this up when the reality is our grandson needs a mother . and hope desperately needs a child . douglas : do you have any 2s ? hope : nope ! go fish ! douglas : i fished my wish ! i win ! hope : what ? again ? thomas : hey , buddy , what 's going on ? douglas : daddy ! thomas : hey ! you having a fun time with hope ? douglas : uh - huh . i 've won like six times ! thomas : whoa . hope : mm - hmm , yeah , apparently he 's the tom brady of go fish . thomas : or you 're just that bad . hope : hey ! douglas : she 's not so bad . just not as good as mom . bill : karen just responded to my text . she and dani 's flight back to new york gets in early . katie : [ sighs ] good . though i wish they had stayed longer . i mean , they 're gon na need a lot of support , too . bill : [ sighs ] they lost their only child , katie . i feel almost guilty about it . katie : why ? bill : i have three healthy sons , a thriving granddaughter ... katie : well , they have a grandchild , too . douglas is always gon na be a reminder of caroline . bill : i know that . i just -- [ sighs ] this is just a reminder of how fragile life is , and it just drives home how family is so important . the most important . katie : well , for what it 's worth , i think you 're doing a pretty good job leading the spencer family through this difficult time . bill : thank you for that . thank you for being here for me . i ca n't tell you how much your support means . donna : i 'm so sorry i did n't get to stop by brooke 's after the funeral . liam : oh , no . donna : how 's -- how 's thomas holding up ? liam : uh , he 's -- he 's okay . i think he 's more concerned about douglas , you know , just helping him through the whole ordeal . wyatt : mm . liam : listen , i -- losing a mom sucks , i know , but losing a mom at that age ... wyatt : especially a mom like caroline . i mean , she lived for that little boy . sally : i 'll tell you who 's impressed me through all of this . wyatt : mm - hmm . sally : your dad . justin : bill ? sally : yeah , he 's been a rock . for caroline 's moms . for the whole spencer family , really . wyatt : yeah . gives you a little warm , fuzzy feeling , does n't it ? liam : are you asking me if i 'm proud of our father ? because ... wyatt : no , i 'm saying that he 's been a different man lately . like , he 's been a little more compassionate . justin : and i 'd say i 'd have to agree . wyatt : thank you . justin : yeah . donna : so do i . and i think i know somebody else who would agree , too . katie : i know that caroline was really special to you . bill : she was . i so regret the mistakes i made with her . and i wish caroline was here so that i could express it . katie : i know . i can see how hard you 're working to repair the relationships in your life that are important to you . your sons ... will , especially . bill : i came so close to ruining things with him . i will never let that happen again . katie : i believe you . and , more importantly , will does , too . you 're making me remember the man i fell in love with . thomas : did hope tell you stories about this cabin ? douglas : what stories ? thomas : oh , well , rumor has it , the people who lived here before , they buried treasure out in the yard . douglas : really ? is it still there ? thomas : maybe ! we should go look ! douglas : will you help ? hope : oh , well , i mean , what kind of treasure are we talking about ? thomas : oh , you know , the standard -- gold bullion , diamonds , and , um ... lollipops ! hope : [ laughs ] thomas : [ chuckles ] hope : how did you do that ? how did he -- how did he do that ? douglas : he did ... this ! hope : [ gasps ] wow ! thomas : oh ! magician ! hope : oh , my gosh , are you a wizard ? [ laughs ] taylor : douglas needs a mother , and hope desperately needs a child . you ca n't deny that . ridge : i am -- i 'm not denying that , and you ca n't deny that hope actually has a life . she -- she 's married . she has a husband -- liam . taylor : for how long ? ridge : for how long ? i do n't -- i do n't know how long . they made vows to each other , taylor . taylor : liam and steffy made vows to each other , and if bill had n't interfered ... ridge : well , he did interfere . and that changed everything . taylor : no , it didn't . it did not change everything . our daughter still loves liam , and you know that he loves her . and they have a family together . they should be raising their children together . ridge : that 's what they 're doing , taylor . they are -- they 're raising kelly together , and they 're raising phoebe together . taylor : i 'm talking about under the same roof ! tremfya ® can help adults with moderate wyatt : well , caroline 's death really hit the old man hard . justin : yeah , bill definitely has a soft spot for his niece . donna : not unlike the soft spot he still has for katie . sally : i just got to say , i have no idea how those two ever worked . wyatt : mm . sally : they 're so totally different . liam : that 's kind of why they worked -- yin and yang . unfortunately , it was n't enough to keep them together . justin : i know bill is definitely happy to have katie by his side right now . bill : it works both ways , you know . katie : what does ? bill : you stepped up , too . katie : in what way ? bill : in every way . i mean , it 's true that we 're no longer married , but i know i can count on you for anything . you 're a true spencer . katie : [ laughs ] bill : [ chuckles ] you are . and you 've proven it time and time again . you 're proving it right now . thank you for being there for me , katie . it means more than you know . baby shark do , do , do - do , do - do baby shark do , do , do - do , do - do baby shark do , do , do - do , do - do baby shark mommy shark do , do , do - do , do - do hope : come on , dad . join in . thomas : uh , no . douglas : yeah , dad , it 's fun ! thomas : dude , i 'm scared of sharks ! douglas : we will protect you , wo n't we ? hope : mm - hmm , you bet i will ! thomas : no ! do n't take him away ! hope : ready ? grandma shark do , do , do - do , do - do grandma shark do , do , do - do , do - do grandma shark do , do , do - do , do - do grandma shark taylor : i really believe when steffy and the girls come back from europe that liam is going to go back to them . ridge : you got to stop talking like that , you really do . taylor : i am merely telling you what hope 's wishes are . ridge : you think this is her wish , to end her marriage ? this is not what she wants . taylor : it 's what hope said ! ridge : maybe she said it because she is upset ! how do you not see that ? taylor : well , the fact that she said , then she must know that some part of it is right ... ridge : no ! taylor , i -- [ groans ] taylor : why are n't you concerned about this ? why ca n't you step up as steffy 's father ? ridge : step up ? wow , okay . uh , i 'm sorry , what do you expect me to do ? taylor : if you know how much steffy loves liam , then why do n't you want them to live together ? do n't you want liam to go back and be there for our daughter and our granddaughters ? at least advocate for them ! encourage it ! and now we have thomas , who just lost the mother of his son ! maybe hope could be there for douglas , and douglas could be there for hope . ridge : and then steffy and liam could be back together . is that what you 're saying ? taylor : yes ! they belong together . how could you not want that ? what does help for heart failure look like ? donna : so , has anyone heard anything more about bill and katie 's `` accidental `` lunch at il giardino the other day ? wyatt : you mean what happened when they found out it was n't so accidental ? justin : wait a minute , so you 're saying ... in fact , it was n't ? wyatt : was n't what ? justin : accidental . did you set the whole thing up ? wyatt : me ? justin : yeah . wyatt : [ laughs ] what ? come on . do i look like cupid to you ? liam : okay , so either it was n't wyatt , or he 's deflecting . wyatt : what -- donna : or ... it was one of us . sally : i think i know who it might be ... but i 'm not saying . donna : [ sighs ] justin : [ scoffs ] donna : well , whatever happened , i think we can all agree on one thing . we 'd all like to see bill and katie back together again . katie : if you 'd like to come by the house and see will , he 's been really sad about caroline . i 'm sure talking to you would help . bill : say no more . i 'll be there . katie : okay . well , um , i guess i 'll go . see you later , unless i expectedly bump into you first . bill : i look forward to it . douglas : can i go play outside ? thomas : [ laughs ] yeah , but , uh , do n't go digging up the place . i was kidding about the treasure . we 're gon na be staying with granddad and brooke for a while . douglas : and hope , too ? thomas : yeah . and hope , too . hope : yeah , your daddy 's right . i 'm not going anywhere . ridge : let me try to explain this again . i 'm not gon na promote hope losing her husband . she 's lost enough , i think , do n't you ? that 's my wife 's daughter . taylor : i 'm well aware . ridge : okay , so whatever needs to happen has to happen between hope and liam . taylor : what i think ... hope and thomas were in love at one time , okay ? they have a history together . and hope is pushing liam away . and , eventually , we both know that liam is going to go back to steffy . and , like i said ... when i saw hope and douglas in the kitchen , the way she was comforting him and embracing him ... this is a little boy who just lost his mother , and thomas is grieving . what i think is they all need each other . i think they would all be good for each other ! ridge : so , after everything we talked about , everything i said to you , everything you said to me , you think that thomas and hope should be together ? really ? ( vo ) they 're all going in the wyatt : you 're having a hard time with this , too , are n't you ? liam : yeah , i mean ... she was just this whirlwind of creativity and energy , and she was a mom who loved her kid more than anything , and i -- i do n't know , it 's hard to believe she 's just gone from all our lives . wyatt : liam , listen , uh ... i know you 've been dealing with a lot of loss lately . with beth , now caroline ... and i know you 're worried about your wife . hope : i 'm glad you and douglas are staying in l.a. for a while . it helps having family and friends close by for support . thomas : i 'm not sure it 's even sunk in yet . i mean , i -- i know caroline 's gone , but the way it happened . you know , one minute , she 's alive and vital , and the next ... still , as hard as it for me , douglas adored his mom . but now it 's up to me , you know ? i 'm a single parent . talk about scary . hope : well , you 'll be fine , and so will douglas . but , you know , it takes time . we 're all here for both of you . thomas : thanks . you -- you 've been amazing with douglas . i can tell the wonderful effect you 've had on him . hope : yeah , well , he 's a sweetheart , and i 'm happy to help any way i can . ridge : look at me . really look at me . thomas , hope , and douglas -- you got to let that go , all right ? taylor : no , i need you to hear what i 'm trying to tell you . our little grandson just lost his mother . he is never going to feel her arms around him again . he 'll never hear her voice . that is devastating to a child . ridge : i know , of course it is . i know it is . taylor : and thomas -- how is he going to handle the responsibility of being a single parent ? it 's too much ! it 's just too much ! ridge : hey , take a breath . come here . take a breath . taylor : [ sighs ] ridge : it 's gon na be okay . taylor : what happened to our family ? nothing 's been the same since i lost you . i miss what we had . i 've never stopped loving you , ridge . ridge : i know you 're upset . i 'm upset , too . what happened to thomas and douglas , it 's awful . but we got to put this conversation behind us , and we got to put this -- this kiss behind us , too , all right ? taylor : okay . ridge : okay . [ door opens , closes ] brooke : taylor . i 'm really sorry . about caroline . it 's really tragic . and i can only imagine what thomas and douglas are feeling right now . i 'm sorry i did n't make it to the memorial . i 'm sure it was beautiful . taylor : thank you . brooke : thank you . for being here for ridge . i know he was really upset by this . i 'm sure that you are , too . tragic times like these , they bring people together . emotions are raw . i would n't even blame you if you were feeling vulnerable . but to see what i walked in on ... you , in my living room , kissing my husband ... that is inexcusable . it 's unacceptable in so many ways . taylor , we have been down this road before ! we 're not gon na do it again . any inappropriate behavior with my husband -- my husband -- is going to be dealt with swiftly and forcefully . do you hear me ? tell me ! tell me you understand !	ridge sits with taylor and says he is trying to listen to her and make sense of what she is saying but she repeats again that she saw hope and douglas in the kitchen and how they bonded and responded to each other . he says there is a lot of people that care about this little boy , not just hope . she says douglas needs a mother and hope desperately needs a child . he surely can not deny that . ridge points out that hope is married and steffy moved on . she keeps yammering that steffy would be with liam now if it had not been for bill and that still does not have to change . thomas walks in just as douglas wins at fish with hope . then douglas talks them into the shark song .at least with him and hope . thomas says he is afraid of sharks . bill feels down but katie says in her eyes he is doing a darn good job by bringing all together and showing douglas their love and support . he tells katie that he so regrets that he made mistakes with caroline . and he will never let that happen again with will . she says will knows that . he tells her that she too has stepped up and been there for him at every turn . it means more than she will ever know . out of his presence wyatt says their father has stepped up and looks at liam who says sure but do not ask for more than that admission . taylor keeps on at ridge that it is steffy 's wish that she get back with liam so will bide her time while she is out of the country . but surely ridge can see that douglas needs a mother and hope needs a child , so she and thomas would be great together . ridge gets the picture so that would leave liam for steffy . he reminds her that hope is his wife 's daughter so anything that happens now must be between hope and liam . she keeps reminding him of what she witnessed between douglas and hope and she thinks they would all make a great family with thomas . donna asks has anyone heard what happened the other day when bill and katie accidentally had lunch together . justin asks wyatt if he set that accidental meeting up . wyatt grins and says he is no cupid . donna responds that she thinks they all agree it would be nice to see bill and katie back together . liam admits to wyatt that it seems unheard of that caroline was a great lady and a mom and suddenly she is gone .
brooke : ridge , it 's me again . just another reminder that hope 's recital is this morning . and she 's counting on you , you know ? whatever 's going on between us , we ca n't let this affect the children . you ca n't let hope down . you wo n't . you 'll be here . i know you will . there 's my little starlet . look at you . hope : where 's daddy ? he said he 'd bring me a lollipop . brooke : i just called him . and he 'll be home soon , okay ?

[ scene_break ] morgan : what 's wrong ? you should be relieved . ridge : relieved ? morgan : yeah , the ct scan that my mom ran showed that you have no internal bleeding or permanent brain damage . you 're going to be fine . ridge : i still ca n't remember a thing . morgan : you heard what my mom said . a post - concussion syndrome can last for weeks , even months . but the worst thing you could do is stress out about it . what you need to do is just enjoy this time off . you deserve it , after everything you 've been through . ridge : that 's just it . i do n't remember what i 've been through . but i do n't know what i 'd do without your help . morgan : good thing you do n't have to find out . ridge : you know i 'm feeling something i have n't felt in a long time . morgan : what 's that ? ridge : hungry . let 's go out and get something . i saw this cute little cafe when we were coming back . morgan : no . no , why do n't we order room service ? you do n't want to overdo it . ridge : whatever you 'd like .

( stammers ) all right , that 's it . you 're goin ' home . liam : why ? bill : because you came back to work too soon . liam : no , i 'm fine . bill : i 'm not taking any chances with you . you 're going home . liam : okay , maybe i do n't want to go home if hope is n't there . bill : ( sighs ) ( door opens ) jarrett : sorry i 'm late . bill : what are you talking about ? were we expecting you ? liam : hey , do you -- do you have any news about the taboo press conference ? jarrett : ( sighs ) uh , they may be starting a women 's line . bill : gee , i 'm shocked . jarrett : they 're donating a cut of the profits to charity . but unofficially ... i do n't think taboo is supposed to exist , and i do n't think we 're supposed to know . [ scene_break ] thomas : why do you think i should back off with my dad ? dayzee : i see a man who 's coming into his own . thomas : yeah , that 's what i thought , too . dayzee : and coming into your own means admitting that there will be obstacles in your path . you love your father . thomas : ( sighs ) of course , i do . dayzee : okay , well you undermined him deliberately . thomas : i had to . dayzee : and in the process , you stole his voice . thomas : yes , to keep him from stealing mine . dayzee : do not do this , thomas . you do n't want to lose him . he 's your father . [ scene_break ] bill : we thank you for your support of the forrester taboo line . it is with regret that we 're putting it to an end . r.f. `` liam : ridge . bill : they read this at the press conference ? jarrett : no , no , it was business as usual for thomas and brooke . bill : they were hangin ' all over each other ? jarrett : no , not at all , but thomas was still very flirtatious towards his father 's wife . bill : i never thought ridge had it in him to sign off on promotion that edgy . something finally pushed his buttons , and i wonder what . [ scene_break ] brooke : i withheld something from you , ridge , and i was wrong , and now we are having this conversation that seems a little too dangerous instead of a simple `` what 's going on with him `` talk that we would have had if i came to you right away and told you about thomas 's kiss . ridge : yeah , well , now i 'm frankly very tired of hearing it . brooke : okay , well , now i have to tell you something else , because if i wait , it 's only going to get worse . you can not pull rank on thomas and kill the line . ridge : so you admit you were wrong in one breath , and the next you side with him ? brooke : no , no , i side with you always . you know that . i just do n't want things to go wrong between you and thomas . i 'm worried about the two of you , and if you clamp down on him now , that 's exactly what 's going to happen . [ scene_break ] thomas : ( scoffs ) how am i supposed to make things right with my dad ? 'cause right now , i 'm pretty sure he 's ready to fire me . dayzee : okay , what if he does ? what does that change ? you 're still his son . that 's the relationship you 've got ta honor . thomas : ( sighs ) but what is that supposed to mean ? `` sure , dad , whatever you say . `` dayzee : is that the only way you two know how to relate to each other ? thomas : all right , dayzee , all i know is i 'm tired of apologizing . ( sighs ) yes , i did something wrong , but nobody got hurt , and nobody suffered any lasting damage here . dayzee : that is your assessment . and , honestly , you do n't get to decide when you 're done apologizing . thomas : ( sighs ) dayzee : it 's the people you hurt who get to decide when they 're tired of hearing it . thomas : ( chuckles ) remind me never to burn any bridges with you . dayzee : ( laughs ) why ? thomas : because since my sister became a power - mad freak , you 're the only one who tells it to me straight . [ scene_break ] bill : how did you get your sticky little english fingers on that ? jarrett : no sticky fingers . i promise . bill : how long have you worked for me ? jarrett : quite some time . bill : that 's right , and we both know that reporters have they 're somewhat underhanded ways of getting information from time to time . jarrett : are you suggesting i stole it ? bill : did you ? or do you have an inside source ? jarrett : i - i - i swear on a stack of bibles -- bill : have you ever seen me with even one bible ? come on . how did you get your hands on that information ? jarrett : it was on the floor . somebody dropped it . liam : hey , guys . this -- this was n't meant to be read out loud to the press . this is supposed to be distributed in - house . bill : gold star for you . but when was it ? it 's dated today . liam : well , i 'm thinkin ' no i mean , why would you hold a press conference for taboo if you were gon na kill t ? jarrett : maybe ridge changed his mind ? bill : twice in one day ? i do n't think ridge is capable of that much mental exercise . changing his clothes twice , maybe . liam : what if -- what ... bill : say it . liam : i 'm -- i 'm just thinkin ' , what if thomas knew what ridge was up to , and he headed him off at the pass ? bill : outmaneuvered him ? liam : yeah . bill : hmm . he announced he was expanding the line , giving a percentage to charity , daring anyone who was at the press conference to challenge him . was ridge there ? jarrett : yeah . bill : how did he look ? jarrett : especially stone - faced . bill : ( chuckles ) well , i am appalled . do you think his son would actually pull such a dastardly act on his own father ? forget the swimsuit we 've got your cover story . liam : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] ridge : so you think that holding a press conference , daring me to humiliate myself after the shock of what you did , that was reasonable way to begin this discussion with me ? brooke : no , i do n't . but my choice was between handing thomas a public humiliation that he may never recover from , or playing for time to have this discussion with you . ( knock on door ) ridge : come back later . thomas : i would , except for the risk of later being too late . [ scene_break ] liam : i - if we run `` taboo is dead , `` and it 's not , we have an army of forrester attorneys coming after us . bill : no , wait a minute . we are forgetting something . brooke was there with thomas , right ? jarrett : that 's right . bill : and they were acting flirtatious ? liam : maybe she did n't know about the memo . jarrett : maybe neither of them did . bill : impossible . ridge does n't relieve himself without brooke knowing about it . if there was a press conference , it was to play `` taps `` for taboo and brooke and thomas knew it . liam : okay , so you 're saying that they deliberately -- bill : called his bluff and won . ridge stood there stone - faced and let them do it . jarrett : i hardly believe it . they 're a very close family . bill : they 're in - laws . they 're instant dysfunction -- just add water and stir . i 'm telling you , somehow a line got crossed . liam : yeah , but a line between mrs. forrester and thomas ? ( stammers ) no . bill : all right , you do the math . sales for taboo -- through the roof why else would ridge end it ? here 's what we 're doing , and you know how to do it -- start writing . tease it just short of a lawsuit for libel . uh , `` father knows best -- bye - bye , taboo . `` jarrett : uh , `` dad , can i borrow the car , and mom , too ? `` bill : that 's terrible `` to love , honor , and obey . `` jarrett : `` that was no lady . that was my stepmother . `` bill : even worse . just go with -- liam : ( stammers ) hold on a second , guys . jarrett , can i have a second alone ? jarrett : i 'll get writing . liam : thanks . bill : what 's the problem ? liam : we ca n't do this . we do n't know the whole story . we do n't even know if there is a story . bill : ( sighs ) do you know how much i hate the word ca n't ? [ scene_break ] thomas : i think we 're both probably in a position we do n't want to be in . ridge : defied by my wife and son ? that 's right . i do n't . thomas : i only did what you did . i took a shortcut to winning . dad , we were both wrong , and it started with you . ridge : i made a decision that was mine to make as c.e.o . of this company . thomas : oh , come on . we both know that 's bull . you were n't acting as c.e.o . you were using your authority to punish me as your son , not as your designer , because you could , and i stopped you for today because i could . come on . how far do you want to take this slapping me down before i slap back ? ridge : thomas , it 's not acceptable to me to know that beneath all the risqué promotional shots you 've made , you had an agenda involving my wife . thomas : i thought about brooke . is that so strange ? she 's -- no one else had much faith in me . ridge : that 's not true . thomas : you believed in steffy 's big dreams , in hope 's . you did n't even know what mine were . if i had an idea , it came as a shock to you . so i made a decision ; it was my time , my turn . i wanted something for me . and , yes , brooke -- she was the only one who truly believed in me . look , i do n't know why i kissed her . but the kiss rally was no big deal . and for you to threaten to kill taboo ? ( groans ) maybe -- maybe i was still struggling to sort out what she was supposed to be to me , sort out my feelings , but believe it or not , it helped . ( sighs ) all i felt was foolish . ridge : well , thank you . it could n't have been easy to walk back in this room . but , thomas , i must say , all is not forgiven . if i let the line continue , i reward you for the stunt you pulled . and if i kill it now as i intended , then the whole world would still see how my son and my wife teamed up to thwart me , and they 'd have to draw their own conclusions as to why . ( intercom buzzes ) ridge : ( groans ) i said no calls . all right . all right , give me a moment . there 's something urgent at international . thomas : it 's all right . i really have nothing more to say . ridge : neither do i for now . brooke : thomas , no . do n't walk away . thomas : it 's all right . he 's only left me one direction . [ scene_break ] bill : this is the perfect storm for a tabloid scandal , this is the stuff we live for . liam : is it ? bill : what else ? liam : kind of thought your wife was the stuff you live for . bill : all right , that 's a low blow . liam : hey , brooke is her sister . bill : that does n't mean she gets a free pass . liam : ( scoffs ) bill : hey , the tabloid press is a very lucrative part of our business . you need to see this for what t is , son . brooke and thomas were very happy to exploit the tabloids , to use the tabloids to promote taboo . ridge was complicit up until now . well , it 's a double - edge sword . welcome to the other side of the blade . liam : so you really think that ridge forrester 's wife is sleeping with his son ? bill : she slept with his father . why is his son such a stretch ? liam : but that 's -- that 's -- that 's what i 'm saying , dad . you do n't know , and you 're asking jarrett to write this whole piece insinuating that this is the case without ever coming out and saying it . bill : well , we all skate on the same thin ice for our readers . liam : just do n't -- just do n't do this , dad , please . bill : why ? liam : just this once , do n't . bill : hey , brooke is no friend of yours . hope could n't dump you fast enough to suit brooke once she found out about amber . liam : yeah , but brooke was right . she 's still hope 's mother . every racy thing we print about her hurts the girl i love , and i do n't want to do that anymore . bill : ( sighs ) all right . all right , we 'll hold the story for a day , a few days , see what develops . i guess that 's a good strategy .

[ scene_break ] hope : mm , it 's so cozy in here . liam : yeah ? i thought i 'd light a fire . hope : mm - hmm . mm . hey , i ca n't find my phone . i do n't know what i did with it . i think -- maybe i left it in my car ? i do n't know . liam : are you serious ? hope : yeah . liam : the -- hope , you were just talking on it to your mom and stephanie . hope : oh , yeah . i knew that . liam : ( scoffs ) did you ? hope : i -- yes , i did . i knew that . mm . are you making brownies ? liam : i am . double chocolate fudge . hope : ( gasps ) yes ! oh , my god . you 're amazing . liam : that 's a minority viewpoint . hope : ( laughs ) that 's why i keep you around . liam : i know . hope : mm - hmm . liam : i know . hope : mm . this is the best ...

caroline : you gon na be gone long ? ridge : no . i want to be here with you and my douglas , but i am ceo of this company . it took a long time to get there , and i think if i do n't show up , rick is gon na try to pick up the slack , and i ca n't have that . caroline : okay . ridge : bye . can i get you anything while i 'm out ? caroline : no , i have everything i need right here . ridge : you have n't put that kid down since he was born . caroline : when he 's like 6 . ridge : yeah ? caroline : [ chuckles ] ridge : hi . look at me . it 's my life . i 'm married to the most beautiful woman in the world , i 've got this little guy , and i 'm living in my family home . our future starts today . caroline : it 's incredible .

[ scene_break ] sasha : so , are we gon na talk about it or just keep pretending it did n't happen ? zende : i 'm not pretending anything . look , i own up to what happened between us . sasha : okay . acknowledged is good . so , now what ? zende : we see where it goes . just please -- do n't say anything to nicole or anyone else . sasha : [ sighs ] you do n't have to worry about me . there 's nobody better at keeping big , honking secrets than me . nicole : hey . zende around ? sasha : uh , no , actually , you just missed him . nicole : good . you and i need to talk . sasha : is everything okay ? nicole : i know what you 've been hiding .

[ scene_break ] sasha : why would you think i 'm hiding something ? nicole : because you 're my best friend , and i know how you work . so let 's clear the air . sasha : okay . i 'd be game if i had any idea what you were talking about . nicole : i betrayed our friendship -- going behind your back , using my influence with rick to get you fired . it was wrong . and you would never do anything underhanded like that to me . so you can stop protecting me from your justifiable anger . i can take it . sasha : you apologized , and i got my job back . you do n't have to be perfect , nicole . i love you anyway . nicole : i do n't know what i 'd do without you . especially now . sasha : hey . hey , what 's going on ? nicole : i just miss zende .

[ scene_break ] caroline : you do n't care yet , but we have a design house called forrester creations , and it 's your birthright . but do n't expect an easy time there if you choose that path , 'cause your daddy is kind of a tough manager . thomas : i can vouch for that . caroline : hey . thomas : hey , douglas . hi . how are you ? [ scene_break ] zende : look , maya . i did support nicole . but there 's this concept and then there 's reality , and sometimes they do n't sync up . but i was straight with nicole about how i felt the whole time . maya : i knew you guys had to take breaks and process things , but to break up with her completely , zende ? i just did n't anticipate that . zende : would you have respected me more if i would have faked it ? maya : i 'm not saying that . zende : i could n't , maya . knowing my girl had another man 's baby inside of her -- my uncle 's . you know , i try to wrap my brain around it . it just does n't -- maya : okay . zende : that does n't mean i stopped caring about her . i have tried texting her . calling her . she wo n't talk to me . maya : are you surprised ? she 's too hurt , zende .

[ chuckles ] he always made me feel good about myself . sasha : and i hope that you have n't lost that just because you 're not together anymore . nicole : no . i 'm proud of what i 'm doing for my sister . i just wish zende could have hung in there a little longer . sasha : i am so sorry . nicole : i know . sasha : no , you do n't . [ scene_break ] pam : cheers . eric : cheers . rick : well , what are we celebrating ? wait , let me take a wild guess . ridge . eric : join us . rick : i 'll have to pass , but congratulations are in order . you 're a father . again . ridge : it 's extraordinary . rick : i could imagine . at least for now , anyways . pam : hey , rick . your new little nephew has a name now , you know ? rick : really ? pam : mm - hmm . rick : huh ? ridge : douglas forrester . rick : [ laughs ] that goes perfect with the portrait about the fireplace . ridge : uh - huh . rick : i 'm sure stephanie would be pleased . pam : well , i know i am . ridge : how 's nicole ? rick : thanks for remembering . the pregnancy is on course . no problems . eric : wo n't be long before there 's another one to carry on our legacy . rick : it 's been a great year for new forresters . caroline has the child that she 's always wanted with the man that she loves . you know , on second thought , that does call for a toast .

[ scene_break ] caroline : he really wo n't break . thomas : i am so terrified of doing something wrong . caroline : no , you 're fine . you 're fine . just , like , relax a little bit . take a deep breath . [ laughs ] and , um , you know , try to loosen your arms a little bit and just kind of let him sink in . just accept his weight , you know ? thomas : god . caroline , he is a game - changer . caroline : for all of us . [ scene_break ] sasha : oh , sorry . i did n't know anyone was in here . maya : it 's no problem . you need something ? sasha : just a place to hang for a little bit . nic and i were talking when zende came in . he wanted some time alone with her . maya : that could be good . i spoke to zende earlier . i just -- i hope i made him realize what an awe - inspiring thing nicole is doing . and that she deserves to be supported . rick : i mean , it 's not that zende does n't love nicole . he 's just having a hard time with the pregnancy . maya : you know , if they can just stay open to each other , maybe they 'll get back together after nicole delivers . sasha : not to be the pessimist , but ... i seriously doubt that . [ scene_break ] nicole : you ca n't even be close to me . do you know how much that hurts ? zende : i did n't mean to react like that , okay ? it just happened . nicole : because you 're so disgusted by me , you ca n't even pretend you 're not . zende : no . it 's not you , nicole , all right ? and i 'm not disgusted . it 's the situation . it 's too much for me to handle . nicole : did you really try ? zende : oh , come on . nicole , you know i did . nicole : no , i mean , really . because as soon as i started showing , you started pulling back , like your mind was already closed to it . zende : if i did , i -- i did n't know it . nicole : i thought that you understood this is hard for me , too . that i had this one chance to do something wonderful for my sister , and i needed to take it no matter what it cost , and ... i just thought you understood . [ scene_break ] thomas : hey , dad . check it out . i 'm holding my little brother for the first time . ridge : you 're doing a great job . thomas : thank you . what do you think , huh , douglas ? you think i 'm doing all right ? 'cause it feels right to me . ridge : i hate to pull rank , but i 've really got to hold my son for a minute . thomas : oh , absolutely . caroline : i just -- remember . support his head when you hand him -- thomas : yeah . got it . ridge : hi . yes . there you are . what you doing ? what are you doing ? yeah . hi , my sweet boy . hey . thomas : you know , one day i 'll have this -- an amazing wife and a beautiful child . thank you for letting me spend some time with him . caroline : oh , yeah . you bet . thomas : all right . you guys have fun with your miracle . ridge : what was that look ? caroline : um ... it 's freaking out . [ laughs ] that look is me freaking out about thomas and watching him hold ... ridge : our boy ? it 's who this is . and thomas is gon na be here . they 're gon na have a relationship . so you ca n't do that . you ca n't freak out every time he walks into a room . caroline : i know , but ... ridge : what ? our boy . our blessing . we 're his parents . caroline : i know . it 's just ... watching thomas hold him , he already loves him so much and you just think -- ridge : of course , he does . he 's his brother . and what is that -- what are you doing ? you trying to justify telling him what he could never know , what no one can ever know ? is that what you want to do ? we 'll lose everything . and i do n't care about my career or my reputation . we 'll lose each other . we 'll lose our family . this is what we set up , and this is how it 's gon na be . not thomas . no one . no one 's ever gon na know this is ... this is our boy .	sasha and zende are working . she asks if they are just going to pretend it did n't happen and not talk . he says no , it happened but he does not want to talk about it nor her to tell nicole . sasha says no problem ; there is no one better than her at keeping really big secrets . he leaves and nicole walks in . nicole says she is the one who betrayed sasha and got her fired before she came back and yet sasha would never do that to her , they are best friends . she mentions zende and said she lost her first love but at least she got to experience that and she is not sad . maya talks to zende and says she is disappointed in him for dumping nicole . they both thought he supported her in this surrogacy . he says he does but reality plays a part in this . he will never stop caring about nicole but he could not get over that she was carrying another man 's baby inside of her . ridge goes to the office . as ceo he needs to be there before rick takes over . eric and pam are thrilled when ridge says the baby now has a name , douglas . stephanie will be looking down on him and watching him all over that house . rick walks in as they are sipping champagne and he laughs out loud at the name , so fitting with the portrait of stephanie now above the mantle . however , he comes around and congratulates ridge and says douglas is a fine name and he wishes them all the best .

[ laughter ] reverend harris : and i 'd like to welcome you to this sacred spot . in australia , we believe that acknowledging the natural beauty of our land brings good luck to a marriage . and i do n't think you can get much luckier than that breathtaking view . [ laughter ] reverend harris : this is the most intimate moment that a couple can share , and they 've trusted it with all of you . and you have been honored by witnessing their love and sharing in the grace that is bestowed upon all of us today . steffy and liam , you are about to begin a journey that will last the rest of your lives . wyatt : go ahead and save yourself the trouble , just -- you can leave the bottle . bad night ? wyatt : not my first , certainly wo n't be my last . sounds rough . wyatt : you have no idea . it ca n't be all bad , right ? wyatt : well , i 'm not in australia . what 's in australia ? wyatt : my family . my brother 's getting married right about now . you could n't go , or ... ? wyatt : just ... too awkward . zende : hey , man . wyatt : zende . nicole . what are you guys doing here ? zende : we just had dinner . zende : yeah , you know , we saw you sitting over here , and ... tonight being what it is , i thought maybe you 'd need some company . wyatt : yeah . wyatt : i actually thought about going for a minute . i was like , `` hey ! free trip down under ! `` go down there , hang out with thomas , hit the beach , get some waves . and then i thought about the speeches , steffy and liam saying their vows to each other , and i just thought , you know what ? i 'm good . nicole : i 'm sure they understand why you said no . wyatt : mm . damn it , i still got to get them a gift , though , do n't i ? zende : nah , you do n't -- you do n't have to do that . it 's all right . wyatt : giving steffy our divorce was enough ? ahh ! i 'm just kidding ! i 'm joking , guys . lighten up . you know , i -- i just hope steffy and liam have a great life together . i just could n't be there to watch them kick it off . reverend harris : well , i met steffy and liam yesterday , and i was immediately struck by their love for each other . they told me about their relationship , and the sheer amount of devotion that brought them to this moment . i was touched by their story and also by the support they 've received from their families . now , steffy and liam also spoke about the special relationship they had with their fathers , and i understand they 'd like to say a few words today , so , uh , mr. spencer , will you speak first ? liam : wait for it . bill : well , here we are . finally ! [ laughter ] bill : here we are , in front of some of the most powerful architecture in the world , these magnificent skyscrapers we 're surrounded by , this incredible bridge of steel and concrete that spans the entire harbor . the beehive of activity . the boats , the planes , the people . but what lies beneath it all , what drives this city , is its unique soul . it 's a soul that is deep and peaceful , calm , and good . just like the soul that lives inside my son . liam . your character is as strong as any steel . your wisdom soars above the tallest skyscraper , and your grace ... your grace is as pure as the finest architecture . now ... anybody who does n't believe me ? well , steffy ... you could have had any man in the world . you do n't settle . you want only the best . and that 's what you 've found . that 's what both of you have found . congratulations . steffy : thank you . bill : my boy . zende : thanks . wyatt : just put it on my tab .

[ cell phone rings ] nicole : oh , sorry . that 's me . wyatt : that steffy ? nicole : no . wyatt : have you heard from her ? nicole : i got a text when they landed but nothing today . wyatt : so you do n't know how it 's going ? nicole : would you really want me to tell you if i did ? wyatt : eh . i just could n't do it . my brother 's wedding . i just -- i just could n't be there . zende : it 's a lot to ask . wyatt : yeah , i 'm sure steffy and liam did n't want me to feel , like , shut out . i would have been welcomed , and that 's sweet , but ... nicole : it 's too soon . wyatt : might be too soon for a while . look , steffy and i had our time together , and it was amazing , and i am grateful for every minute of it . it 's just -- it just hurts like hell . ridge : my dad told me a long time ago that there are no guarantees in life . that includes marriage , i guess . maybe that 's why we promise to be there in good times and in bad , in sickness and in health because the important thing is that we 're in it together . but you know that . i mean , we all watched you fight your way back to each other . bill , you 're right . he 's a good man . you 're the right man . i 'm sure about that . more importantly , steffy 's sure about that . i respect you a lot . and i admire your bravery because you 're about to marry someone who will always do the unexpected and sometimes the completely insane . [ laughter ] ridge : but that 's what you signed up for . you 're gon na marry my little daredevil . uh ... my kickass little tomboy somewhere along the way turned into a lovely young lady . from the day you were born , you 've given me nothing but joy and happiness . and that 's what i want for you . joy and happiness . great adventure . i love you . wyatt : you know ... it 's nice of you guys to stick around . nicole : we miss seeing you , wyatt . wyatt : we had some good times at forrester , did n't we ? zende : yeah , we sure did . wyatt : it was exciting , working on the campaigns with steffy , photo shoots , spencer summit ... every day was an adventure with her . she 's just -- she was a complete original . nicole : so are you . wyatt : here we go . here we go . the `` you 're a great guy , there will be somebody else `` speech , is that it ? nicole : you are a great guy ! wyatt : [ laughs ] zende : look , stop beating yourself up over this . wyatt : i 'm not ! but what could i do , right ? steffy and i , we did n't fail . we just caught up in my mother 's web and we just could n't get out . and now steffy 's with liam , and they 're getting married , and i 'm getting ... i 'm getting a little too buzzed . [ laughs ] i know it 's gon na sting for a while . but my brother , he 's ... he 's a good guy . he 's been through a lot . and i ca n't be upset he 's happy . right now , he 's probably the happiest guy on earth . reverend harris : now , before you can be united in matrimony in our country , i must remind you of the solemn and binding nature of the relationship you 're about to enter into . marriage is a voluntary and total commitment . it is made with the deepest fidelity excluding all others and is entered into with profound hope and firm intentions that will last for life . steffy and liam , you may state your intentions to your guests as they witness your union and offer their silent hopes and blessings for you . steffy : okay . um ... i call upon the persons here present that i take thee liam to be my lawfully wedded husband . [ laughs ] liam : wow , uh ... i call upon the persons here present to witness that i take thee steffy to be my lawfully wedded wife . reverend harris : now , please join hands and make your solemn promises to one another . steffy : [ laughs ] i stand here and i 'm ... pledging my everlasting love and my commitment and my loyalty to you . i know that i can say that with ease because you motivate me to live my life to the fullest . i mean , you set my spirit free , free to -- [ laughs ] free to fly . [ liam and steffy laugh ] steffy : i love that you stand by your values and your principles , and you fight for what 's good and honest . and you never stopped believing in us . gosh , and ... talk about you being patient and understanding ... thankfully 'cause you 're marrying me . [ laughter ] steffy : i 'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with you . liam : steffy ... i stand here pledging my everlasting love and commitment and loyalty to you . [ laughs ] you 've turned my life upside - down , which is ... making it pretty darn appropriate that we 're doing this in the southern hemisphere . [ laughter ] liam : it 's the irreverence . it 's exhilarating , you know ? you push me to do things -- new things , things i would never dream of doing in a million years , and now i live my life with this thrill of wondering what journey you have in store because nothing about you -- nothing is conventional . nothing about you is expected . you embrace everything -- every tiny little thing that life has to offer . and so ... the truth is , i do n't know what 's around the corner . i do n't know what 's next , and that 's terrifying . and i love it . but what i do know ... is that i want to spend every moment of it , every single one , with you from now and for the rest of our life . reverend harris : you can now seal your commitment with the exchanging of rings . liam , if you will ... liam : whew . oh , yeah . oh , yeah . steffy : [ laughs ] reverend harris : now , you 'll wear these rings to remind you of the love and joy you 'll feel today and everything you hope for in the future . steffy : okay . okay . give me your hand . reverend harris : steffy , place this ring on liam 's finger . steffy : wear this ring as a symbol of my love and commitment to you . liam : steffy ... steffy : mm - hmm . liam : wear this ring as a symbol of my love and commitment to you . reverend harris : steffy and liam ... liam : say it , say it , say it . reverend harris : it is now my profound honor ... liam : come on ! reverend harris : ... to pronounce you husband and wife ! whoo ! ivy : hey ! how was it up there ? just so everyone knows , i did try and tell her not to do it . steffy : no , you did n't ! no , it was so cool . it was so cool ! liam : really ? steffy : yeah . brooke : congratulations . what a wedding ! liam : thank you . quinn : should i call you tinkerbell ? 'cause that was a crazy entrance . eric : i would expect anything less . thomas : seriously , stef , that was insane . ridge : outdid yourself , honey . steffy : wait till we renew our vows . whoa ! what does that mean ? ivy : all right , well , that 's great to see . brooke : [ laughs ] steffy : we did it ! we did it ! liam : we did it ! zipline and all . i like how you roll , baby . steffy : everyone ! everyone ! we 're just gon na do a quick pit stop at the hotel . we 're gon na get in our bathing suits for the reception . yeah ! yay ! we 're doing it ! whoo ! wyatt : phil will be here in about three minutes . thanks , phil . nicole : are you sure you 're gon na be all right ? wyatt : yes . i 'll be fine . nicole : that 's what steffy and liam would want . wyatt : i know . zende : it 's gon na be tough for a while , but ... you 're gon na get through it . wyatt : i know . it 's just tonight . knowing that it 's all happening . probably already has . steffy and liam married and just how excited they are and how lucky he feels . zende : i mean , steffy 's just this incredible woman , just beautiful and ambitious and driven , and she deserves -- she deserves to have the life that she wants . with the guy that she loves . so ... here is to steffy and liam . cheers to the happy couple . liam : that thing ? steffy : yeah , it 's great . get in . liam : you 're not -- no . take me away unravel everything stay with me , stay with me , stay with me trip with me , trip with me , trip with me am i really here , on the ceiling way up here somewhere i am dancing things keep falling just like i do	the minister proceeds with the ceremony . meanwhile wyatt is sitting in a bar telling a pal that he is not in australia where his brother is getting married to his ex - wife . nicole and zende come over after eating dinner and say they thought he might need company . he tells them he even thought about going to get a free trip to australia , the beaches , the waves but then he thought about the speeches and thought he would pass on that . he wishes them a good life together but he just could not be there to see them do it . he is grateful that he and steffy had their time together but it is over . he sees it coming , the old you are a good guy and someday there will be a girl for you . he can not be unhappy for his brother . bill is first to give a speech talking about the magnificent surroundings and people .and he speaks of the soul within his son . steffy could have had anybody but she picked liam , only the best , so congratulations . ridge speaks what it means to be there in good times and bad and in sickness and health . liam is a good man , the right man and he is sure of that . somewhere along the way his kickass tomboy turned into a little lady and is now ready for this great adventure . he hugs her and says he loves her .
ridge : so , tell me , brooke -- what happened on that island ? stephanie : i think i 'd better leave the two of you alone to sort this out . brooke : how did you find me here ? ridge : i figured since you and mother were best buds these days -- marta told me . brooke : oh . ridge : i 'm having a big problem wrapping my mind around this , brooke . i -- i 'm wondering what possessed you to go away with nick like that . brooke : it 's not like he 's some stranger . he 's the father of my child . ridge : that does n't obligate you to go off to some sandbar with him . brooke : he offered me an escape . so i took it . ridge : an escape from what ? me ? brooke : yes . jimmy : i think this little fella looks like me . caitlin : oh , well , careful , jimmy . owners do start to look like their dogs after a while . jimmy : i wish i could keep 'em both . what are we going to do with them ? [ doorbell rings ] caitlin : hey . what happened to my soy latte ? thomas : i thought you loved dog biscuits . actually , i did n't get to play with the little guys too much before , so i just decided to swing by and check on 'em . caitlin : oh , okay . thomas : hope that 's okay . caitlin : yeah . thomas forrester , animal lover -- who knew ? thomas : hey . jimmy : hey . caitlin : thomas , this is my brother , jimmy . jimmy : so you 're thomas . thomas : you 're caitlin 's brother ? jimmy : ca n't you see the family resemblance ? caitlin : jimmy 's adopted , remember ? thomas : now i do . jimmy : do n't worry about it . i do n't always listen to caitlin when she 's yapping away either . caitlin : gee , thanks . thomas : word has it you 're the one doing the adopting now . jimmy : yeah . can you believe somebody just dumped these poor guys along the side of the road ? thomas : no , i ca n't . i mean , look at that face . jimmy : you know , i think that puppy really likes you . thomas : yeah ? jimmy : yeah , he 's saying , `` take me home . `` thomas : i 'd love to , jimmy , but we have enough stuff going on . jimmy : i really need to find a home for these last two guys . thomas : a good samaritan , just like your dad , huh ? jimmy : yeah , my parents died in a fire , but dad was there for me . he took me in . without him and caitlin , i 'd hate to think where i 'd be right now . [ knocking at door ] samantha : oh , hi , eric . eric : hi . i brought you a latte . thought it might perk you up . samantha : thanks . [ eric sighs ] eric : sam , i 'm so sorry for everything you 've been through . i -- i had no idea . samantha : how could you ? my parents made sure that nobody knew . eric : i 'm sure they thought they were just protecting you . samantha : no . my mother was just protecting her precious reputation . eric : look , sam , the last thing i want to do is upset you again . maybe -- if you want me to leave , i 'll just -- i 'll just leave this . samantha : eric , wait , um -- the other night , when pucci died , i did n't mean to make such a scene . i 'm sorry . eric : you have nothing to apologize for . samantha : it just must 've been very uncomfortable for you . eric : no . you had an enormous trauma when you were very , very young . it 's not at all surprising that it would still be affecting you . samantha : it 's been so hard , you know ? not having anybody to talk to about it . eric : samantha , stephanie and i are here for you . you know , we want to help . samantha : i know you do . you know , growing up , i always wished that i had parents like you . eric : priscilla is not an easy woman . but she 's your mother . you have to remember she loves you very much . samantha : as long as i do n't embarrass her . eric : wow . that must be a very tough way to feel . [ samantha sighs ] samantha : i lost my baby , eric . my -- my baby girl . i know i was -- i was maybe too young , but i wanted her so much . and i loved her . and i just thought about what it would be like to raise her and be the kind of mother that i always wished i had . i never got the chance . eric : it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . ridge : escaping me is a good thing ? brooke : my life still revolves around you , ridge . i ca n't go on this way . nick : why are you talking to me about this ? market conditions and percentages ? i 'm a sea captain . you know that . i deal with ships , terminals , security , crews . now when you got something smart to say , you call me back . stephanie : well , are n't we a chip off the old block ? nick : well , thanks . i think . stephanie : oh , that 's a compliment . your father 's a brilliant businessman . you 're following in his footsteps . nick : well , something tells me you did n't come all the way over here to give me a compliment . did you ? stephanie : i came to talk to you about brooke . she told me that you proposed to her . nick : is there nothing private and sacred in the world , stephanie ? stephanie : ridge is with her right now . nick : oh , good god . she 's confused enough as it is . stephanie : really ? i think she 's handling this whole situation very well . nick : you think so ? stephanie : yes , i do . i also told her that she should accept your proposal . nick : is this a way of sort of severing her connection to your family once and for all ? stephanie : i just think it 's the best thing for everyone involved . nick : including your son ? stephanie : oh , especially including my son . he 's gone through a lot of pain over this situation . but brooke has tried to do the right thing . i think she deserves to be happy . so does he . but he 's not going to find that with her . nick : she makes me happy . i just hope i do the same for her . stephanie : well , you two seem to have a unique connection . nick : i guess you could call it that . stephanie : who knows ? maybe you 'll turn out to be good for one another . nick : no disrespect , stephanie , to you or your son , but it 's a frustrating situation . it seems every time we take a step forward , ridge gets back in the picture , and we go back to square one . stephanie : yes , i imagine it is . but she 's kept the ring . so that indicates to me that she 's thinking about the proposal . and maybe after she is over this loss of ridge , she might be ready to begin a life with you . brooke : you 're everything i want , everything i cherish , everything i ca n't have . and it 's tearing me apart . ridge : it was n't my decision to end our marriage . brooke : ridge , signing those annulment papers was the hardest thing i 've ever had to do . and having you stand here , in front of me , dangling like some kind of prize that i ca n't have , that i want -- i mean , i just ca n't keep banging my head against the wall . there 's got to be something else , something better out there for me and my baby . ridge : all right , now you 're scaring me . brooke : yeah , well , i 'm scared , too . and as much as this hurts to say it , as much as it hurts to let you go , i ca n't keep doing this . so maybe this is the answer . ridge : what ? what 's the answer ? thomas : so , what does your dad think about having a bunch of puppies running around here ? jimmy : oh , he wo n't care . he 'd do the exact same thing . caitlin : jimmy probably got the idea from all the rescuing that dad does . jimmy : he 's such a cool guy . have you met him ? thomas : yeah , your dad 's not exactly my number one fan . jimmy : well , that 's because you 're dating his caty . caitlin : no , we 're not -- thomas : we 're not dating ! jimmy : whatever . do n't worry about it . he 'll get over it . thomas : i have to admit , you 're making it very difficult for me to dislike your dad . jimmy : you ca n't . he 's the best . i just hope i can find these two guys a great home , like he gave me . thomas : now that i think about it , i may have the perfect home for one of these puppies . yeah , grab the sweetest one and follow me . caitlin : thanks . samantha : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to fall apart on you like that . eric : you have every right . [ samantha sighs ] samantha : i just think about her every day still . my daughter -- she 'd be a young woman by now . eric : and she 'd be real lucky to have you . samantha : you think ? eric : no question in my mind . look at you . you 're this -- this terrific woman . i would hate for the hurt that you 've experienced in your life to spoil your future . you have so much ahead of you , so much to look forward to . samantha : it was just so much easier when i had pucci with me , because i was n't alone . does that sound crazy ? eric : no . no , it does n't . samantha : i think it was the only caring thing that my -- my mother ever did for me was getting -- getting me pucci . it was n't too long after i 'd lost the baby . i guess i needed a place to put all that love that i 'd stored up . well , anyway , all those years , pucci was the only one i could always count on to be there , to always love me back . eric : we all need that . samantha : you know , somehow i just feel like i -- i just never get it right . eric : why do you say that ? samantha : because when i love somebody , they do n't love me back . or when they do , they do n't stick around . eric : you never talked about the father of this baby you lost . samantha : mm . one of the ones that got away . eric : because your parents moved you to new york ? samantha : i knew that i was young , but i really thought that we loved each other . and he said that he wanted to marry me and that we would raise our child together and be a family . and when my parents took me away , i wrote , or i called every day for -- for months . but i never heard back . and i thought that -- well , that after the baby was born , that he would want -- he would want to see me , see his child . and we could work something out . but it never happened . and i never heard from him again . and so see , pucci was the only one that was always there . eric : well , you 're not alone anymore . stephanie and i , bridget , all of us are all here for you . samantha : i know . you have no idea how much that means to me . eric : good . does that mean you might join us later for lunch ? samantha : oh . i do n't think so , eric . i just do n't think i 'm ready to face the world . not yet . eric : okay . just remember , we 're right across the courtyard here . samantha : thank you . [ samantha sighs ] nick : stephanie , you know , this is not going to be pretty when ridge hears about this proposal . stephanie : well , ridge will react however he needs to react . maybe he 'll rant and rave , but i think that will be good for him . and you 're just going to have to understand what he 's feeling . nick : i try . believe me , i try . i just do n't want him to upset brooke too much , that 's all . stephanie : you and brooke will get through this . nick : you sound like young rick . stephanie : rick ? nick : yeah , he came to see me the other day . stephanie : did he give you a hard time ? because he 's usually very protective of his mother . nick : no , actually , he said i 'd be good for his mom . ridge : are you out of your mind ? brooke : i think it makes sense . ridge : marrying nick ? brooke : may be the only thing that makes sense to me right now . ridge : brooke , i was at his penthouse . i saw how he 's preparing for both the baby and you . i just thought he was delusional . brooke : ridge , we 're the ones who are being delusional , thinking that it 's ever going to work out for us . ridge : marrying nick is not the answer , brooke . it is not the answer . brooke : your mother thinks it is . ridge : what ? ! brooke : stephanie encouraged me to accept nick 's proposal . [ knocking at door ] thomas : hey , sam , what 's up ? samantha : what is it , thomas ? thomas : i have a surprise for you . samantha : you know , i 'm not really in the mood for a surprise right now . thomas : i know , i know , but i think you 're gon na like this one . samantha : maybe some other time . thomas : too late . it 's already here . you do n't even have to go anywhere , just close your eyes . samantha : oh . thomas : all right , show time . samantha : oh , thomas , please . thomas : all right , open your eyes . caitlin : i hope you like her . samantha : her ? caitlin : she 's just a baby . she needs a home . say hello to your new mommy . samantha : hey , there . stephanie : well , i 'm sure it 's very nice for you to know that rick supports this . nick : yeah . i could n't be happier that he thinks i 'm right for his mom . but you know what stuck out the most was how much rick wants this little guy to grow up with his father , the way he never had a chance to . stephanie : yes , that was very difficult for both of the kids . nick : i can imagine . this baby 's going to be here soon , stephanie , and there 's a lot to do in a short time . stephanie : well , no matter how much time you think you 're going to have , you never have enough time to prepare for a baby . nick : yeah . you know what i want ? i want my brother back . i want this situation with brooke to be comfortable for everybody . and i want a perfect world for my kid . is that asking too much ? yeah , maybe you 're right . but i 'm committed to doing the best i can to make it happen in the right way for everyone . stephanie : i hate to see ridge so unhappy , but i 'm going to support this marriage . nick : that means a lot to me . thank you . stephanie : i just hope that my son can find some happiness for himself one of these days . ridge : you -- you must have misunderstood , because my mother knows exactly how i feel about all this . brooke : she thinks this is exactly what you need to move on with your life . ridge : it 's not her place to make that kind of a call ! brooke : she wants what 's best for her son . ridge : as you want for your son . but you said you want to do it alone . brooke : well , that was the plan . ridge : well , then what 's changed , brooke ? please , help me , i want to understand . brooke : ridge , is it really fair to my baby to deny him a real father ? ridge : oh , my god , is that what mother 's been feeding you ? brooke : ridge , what are we supposed to do ? pine away for each other for the next 20 years , until my son is grown ? ridge : what are you saying here ? brooke : i 've heard it from rick , from stephanie , from jackie . they 're all really proud of me . and they think this is what i need for my future , for my son 's future . ridge : you 're not going to accept his proposal ? are you ?	ridge asked brooke what happened between her and nick on the island . brooke and ridge went over old territory : again . she told him marrying nick might be the answer . stephanie dropped by nick 's office to talk about brooke . stephanie told nick she thought brooke should marry him .
stephanie : i 've got one broken rib and a dislocated shoulder . you heard the doctor . he said i do n't have anything to worry about . but how is it possible that i can be perfectly fine , and helen is dead ? brooke : who knows why things happen the way they do ? stephanie : i -- brooke , i never saw that car . he came right out of nowhere . brooke : stephanie , you could n't have known that he was going to run a red light . stephanie : you know how long she 's been with us ? i mean , she 's like -- she 's part of our family . brooke : i have n't seen gabriela in soxlong . it 's hard to believe that she 's actually off to college . stephanie : i do n't know how i 'm going to tell her . brooke : i 'm so sorry . stephanie : sorry does n't bring helen back , that 's for sure . brooke : you ca n't blame yourself for this . stephanie : who else can i blame ? brooke : i 'm going to go check with the police and see if they 've located her . [ scene_break ] brooke : lieutenant baker 's office , please . brooke forrester . well , have him call me back , okay ? bridget : mom ? brooke : oh , nick , bridget . i 'm glad you 're here . bridget : so , how 's stephanie ? brooke : she 's improving by the minute . they think maybe she can go home tomorrow . bridget : oh , thank god . nick : i told you she was tough . she 'd make nascar proud . brooke : she 's gon na love these flowers . bridget : well , we picked these up for helen . do you know what room she 's in ? mom ? helen 's all right , is n't she ? brooke : it was something called a cardiac rupture . bridget : oh , my god . brooke : she really did n't have a chance . bridget : no . brooke : stephanie 's devastated . she thinks it 's all her fault , and i 've been trying to comfort her . but there 's really only one person that could do that right now , and he 's not even returning my phone call . nick : wait a minute . you called forrester and left him a message that his mother 's been in an accident , and he did n't show up ? something 's wrong here . [ scene_break ] thomas : thanks . caitlin : so what do you think is going on with your dad ? thomas : i do n't know . it 's just weird , this whole thing . i figured at first , he was just giving brooke some time to cool off . caitlin : yeah , that 's probably a good idea . thomas : well , yeah , after she saw the photo . but she knew , everybody knew , that amber set it up . caitlin : well , yeah , but i mean , it does n't matter how it happened . it 's still pretty disturbing . your husband kissing your daughter ? thomas : well , that explains why he was gone the first night . but for him to stay away this long -- to miss hope 's recital , to ignore all of brooke 's messages -- caitlin : wait , brooke called him ? thomas : yeah . she said she wanted him to come home , she was ready to talk . caitlin : and he did n't call her back ? that is so not like your dad . thomas , i do n't mean to freak you out , but has it crossed your mind that something could be seriously wrong ? [ scene_break ] brooke : thank god stephanie 's okay , but , unfortunately , there were complications and helen did n't make it . ridge , your mother 's really broken up over this . i hope you can get over to the hospital as soon as possible . it would really help . i miss you . ridge : any of those messages for me ? ridge : so , are any of those messages for me ? morgan : no , they 're all for me . ridge : i 'll try not to take that personally . morgan : you 're up early . ridge : so are you . you always check your messages at 4 : 00 in the morning ? morgan : i guess i could n't sleep . not used to the time difference . ridge : yeah , me neither . i was tossing and turning the whole time . morgan : look , why do n't you go back to bed ? ridge : maybe i will . you coming ? morgan : in a minute . i just have to put out a fire . ridge : anything i can do to help ? morgan : no , i 've got it under control . ridge : okay . morgan : ' night . ridge : goodnight . morgan : dear mother [ scene_break ] brooke : i do n't understand it . ridge did n't show up for hope 's recital , and now he 's not even here for his mother . nick : all this behavior , it 's just off the charts . brooke : i guess he figures since it 's not an emergency , he does n't have to rush over here . but i do n't need to tell him how much helen meant to her . bridget : this just does n't make sense . none of it does . nick : forrester has n't made sense for a long time , now . bridget : i know you keep saying that , but i feel like we 're missing something . brooke : try telling that to a woman who needs her son . i do n't know what to say to her anymore . bridget : why do n't you let me try ? i may not have any luck , but at least it 's a new face . brooke : thank you , honey . bridget : okay . can you hold these ? nick : yeah , i 'll be in in a minute . bridget : okay . nick : talk to you about something . if you want me to go and try to find forrester , maybe figure out what 's going on in his head , i 'll do that . brooke : i 'm almost afraid to find out .

[ scene_break ] brooke : i could n't believe it when stephanie told me . this woman actually confronted you ? called you names ? hope : yep , she did . but y -- i ... ( sighs ) i mean , i ca n't really blame her for being upset . brooke : oh , honey . sometimes you 're too forgiving for your own good . did you at least speak your mind ? hope : mom , what was i gon na say ? think of it from this woman 's point of view . i mean , i - i 'm her daughter 's role model , and there i was kissing a technically married man in public , apparently shameless . but , you know , liam and i , we really should have been more discreet . brooke : so you two just got swept up in the moment ? hope : yes , exactly . i mean , marcus had just proposed to dayzee , and it was so romantic . and kissing liam , it -- it -- it just felt like a natural response . brooke : well , you do n't seem too upset by the confrontation . hope : i ... ( sighs ) do n't get me wrong . i - i really wish that it had n't happened , because it was painful , and -- and it was embarrassing , but i 'm just -- i 'm not going to let anyone 's opinion color my life . i am loving it too much . mom , i am finally happy . brooke : oh , honey , that is so wonderful . and i am so proud of you . hope : ( sighs ) brooke : you and liam have worked so hard to be together , and now you finally are . so you just need to enjoy every little millisecond . hope : yeah . ridge : oh , good , you 're both here . you need to see something , especially you . brooke : what 's wrong ? ridge : take a look . hope : ( gasps ) [ scene_break ] steffy : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] liam : oh , man , this is not good . bill : where and when ? liam : yesterday at dayzee 's . i wonder if hope has seen this . she 's gon na flip out . ridge : `` professional virgin hope logan busted . `` `` it seems miss abstinence uses one side of her mouth to preach to her hope for the future followers and the other to play tonsil tag ... `` hope : oh , my god . ridge : `` with the very married liam spencer . all together now , ladies , can you say ' hypocrite ? ' `` hope : oh , god . ( sighs ) i 'm so sorry . this never should have happened . ridge : look , we have a public relations nightmare here , and it needs to be addressed . and the first and most important thing that needs to happen is you need to move out of liam 's house immediately . [ scene_break ] liam : ( scoffs ) stunned . we both were . i mean , one minute we 're out with friends , having a good time , celebrating marcus and dayzee 's engagement , the next thing you know , this woman is in hope 's face , and then her daughter comes up all -- all disillusioned , which destroys hope , and in turn , makes the mom even more mad . bill : no wonder the tabloids ran with it . liam : ( sighs ) i know . i should have been more conscious of that . but come on , it 's not like we were making out . bill : liam , you 're a married man , and hope is a young woman with a very public image , and on record worldwide for her high moral standards . liam : okay , dad , if this is turning into another hope - bashing session ... bill : no , wait , just cool your jets , romeo . i 'm just trying to look at the situation objectively . hope gets on a pedestal and preaches to other young women about proper sexual conduct . well , i hate to break it to you , it 's human nature . we love to build up our idols . we love to tear 'em down even more . liam : god , a hypocrite , though , really ? i mean , it -- that 's so unfair . i wish we could sue for libel . bill : here 's how this works . you got two stories to tell . `` a , `` love conquers all . star - crossed lovers moving heaven and earth to be together at all costs . so what ? boring . however , story `` b , `` a virginal hope logan caught in a lip- lock with a very - married you -- now that 's got legs , in more ways than one . liam : i 'm just -- i 'm not used to being this visible . it 's creepy . bill : well , hope should have been more aware . i mean , it 's her image , for god 's sake . liam : oh , come on , dad . you know , we were having a moment . we had a real , genuine loving moment . are we not allowed ? bill : nope , not in public , unless you 're ready for the repercussions . liam : ( sighs ) bill : listen , you better be prepared , liam . this is gon na be the hottest story in fashion until ... well , until mercifully , the next hottest story comes along . liam : okay , we ca n't just let this thing blow up all around us . i mean , h - h- how are we gon na fight back ? bill : well , the best thing would have been to get out in front of it , but now we 're gon na have to play catch - up . the good news is spencer publications controls a lot of the mainstream media , so we break the story there . liam : wait , what ? that 's a terrible idea . bill : it 's a terrible idea ? liam : yeah . bill : really ? give me a great idea , boy genius . let 's hear it . liam : no , i 'm -- well -- i 'm saying , because we end up in the same place , with hope 's face plastered all over creation . bill : liam , that ship 's already sailed . but at least this way , we put our own spin on it . you and hope tell the story you want to tell . but we do n't have time for , `` hope , what are we gon na do ? `` `` liam , is that really the best thing ? `` we have no time for that . we got ta move , and fast . liam : okay . okay . all right , let me -- let me think about it . in the meantime , i got ta -- i got ta find hope . bill : you got ta find hope ? but ... what did i just say ? ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : you 're having a knee - jerk reaction . there 's no reason for hope to upend her life . ridge : not if we 're all ready to throw hope for the future on the trash pile and light it on fire . is that what you want ? hope : no , of course not . ( sighs ) ridge : 'cause anything less than that , anything less than moving out of liam 's , is just gon na seem like more hypocrisy . brooke : it 's not fair , ridge , after everything hope and liam have been through . ridge : well , they should have thought of that before they started making out in public . brooke : they got caught up in a moment . surely , you can empathize . ridge : it does n't matter . the reality is hope can not live with liam as long as he 's married to steffy . if she stays there , we 're gon na have a train wreck on our hands . i 'm telling you right now , that 's not happening . [ scene_break ] ( cell phone alerts ) steffy : ( sighs ) `` click on the link `` ? ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] hope : okay , liam 's marriage to steffy is over . ridge : not in the eyes of the law , or the women who support your message by buying your collection . you have a responsibility to them , hope . brooke : what about hope 's own responsibility to herself , to her happiness ? when does that become a priority ? ridge : when liam 's divorce is final . so what 's your plan ? do you have a strategy to counteract the bad publicity that 's about to rain down on us ? hope : ( sighs ) um ... i do n't -- i 'll -- i 'll call a press conference . i 'll -- i 'll make a statement . ridge : what can you possibly say that 's gon na carry any credibility , as long as you 're shacking up with married man ? hope : oh , please , do n't call it that . ridge : i 'm just trying to make you see how it 's gon na look to women like the one who confronted you . hope : ( sighs ) ridge : bad enough you moved in with liam . now to flaunt it in public ? what the hell were you thinking ? hope : ( scoffs ) that 's -- that 's just it . i - i was n't thinking . for once , i was n't thinking . i was just happy . i was in the moment with the man i love . there was no steffy . there was no hope for the future . it was just me and liam ... brooke : honey ... hope : and we kissed . brooke : okay , you should n't have to apologize for this to anyone . ridge : logan , i should n't have to explain this to you . hope is a pubic figure . she 's chosen to take a stand on how she lives her private life , and that 's translated into profit for this company . if the perception of hope changes from someone to be emulated to someone who turns out to be a fraud , the line does n't stand a chance . brooke : i have a solution . ridge : great . let 's hear it . brooke : get steffy to sign the annulment papers . hope and liam can be together . problem goes away . ridge : steffy has every right to insist on waiting for a divorce . brooke : it 's a stalling tactic . ridge : no , it 's not . hope : ( scoffs ) ridge : in any case , we have to deal with this . i know it probably sounds like i 'm just blasting you . hope : ( sighs ) look , i - i do understand where you 're coming from , i guess . ridge : okay , then you understand the only way to begin mitigating this disaster is for you to move back home immediately , before it 's common knowledge that you and liam have moved in together . [ scene_break ] steffy : ( sniffles ) ( sniffles ) ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] hope : all right , i 've heard what you have to say , but now we need to shift our focus to damage control , how we are going to move forward under these new conditions , because i am not going to move out of liam 's house . and i am not going to apologize for loving him . ( knock on door ) ridge : we 're in a meeting . liam : yeah , i figured as much . hope : hi . ridge : come in . liam : you okay ? ridge : no , she 's not okay . i assume you know what 's been happening . liam : yeah . i saw the web site . i am so sorry . ridge : well , sorry 's not gon na cut it , liam . we need to counterattack now . something that does n't scream hypocrite like the damn article here . hope : ( sighs ) brooke : ( sighs ) ridge wants hope to move out . hope : and i refused . liam : good . ridge : good ? hope : ( sighs ) liam : well , ridge , i mean i - i know your position on this . i mean , you 're a bottom - line kind of guy , just like my father . but hope and i have waited a long time to be together , too long . brooke : hear , hear . liam : ( chuckles ) look , i - i know that we have a situation on our hands , but we 've got a lot of sharp minds around this thing , and -- and i am confident that we can come up with a response that does n't resort to hope having to move out . ridge : liam , have you given any thought at all to what this is doing to your wife ? hope : ( sighs ) liam : yeah , of course , i have . i - i do n't like what this is doing to steffy , but that 's not something i can fix right now . i mean , i 've made a decision . she 's working on accepting it , and everybody else just kind of has to ... deal with it . i -- look , in the meantime , if you do n't mind , i need a moment with hope alone . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : of course . good - bye , sweetie . hope : bye . ( sighs ) oh , my god . the web site is blowing up . liam : hope , you do n't need to be looking at that . hope : are they right ? are they right ? h - h - have i become the worst kind of hypocrite ? liam : no . no . and you do n't need to listen to these people , because you 've done nothing wrong , okay ? hope : okay . ( sighs ) ( sighs ) liam : listen to me . this is a blip on the radar ... hope : ( sighs ) liam : okay ? and do n't you dare let it make you doubt yourself or us . these people are calling you names because they 're upset , and they 're upset because they 're disappointed , but they do n't know you . hope : well , they think they do . they think they know me . and i have made a bond with these women , and i 've broken it . liam : i know .

( sighs ) why did you send this to me ? bill : to keep you in the loop . steffy : do you think i want to know hope and liam are kissing in public , openly disrespecting my marriage ? is -- is that supposed to make me feel good ? bill : no one 's feeling good about this , steffy . liam 's worried about hope . hope , i 'm sure , is completely humiliated . however , it 's also an opportunity . and i want you to see it as such . hope and liam are under siege , and i do n't think she 's going to hold up too well . so you hang in there . do n't give up . i 'll keep you posted . steffy : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] hope : and to top it all off , ridge is furious with me . liam : no , not with you . with the situation , with how it 's affecting business . hope : liam , i am the situation . i am . it -- it was my decision to put myself and my principles at the center of hope for the future . okay , i was n't jus selling a fashion line . i was selling a message , and right now , i am not living up to that message . i am a fraud . i mean , it 's no wonder that these women are turning away from me . liam : whoa , whoa , whoa , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . listen to me . we are in love . and that is nobody 's damn business but ours . okay , you knew this . you knew this last night . you were so kick - ass . the hell with everybody else , right ? hope : yeah . but liam , last night i was not being called a hypocrite all over the internet . liam : so what ? what 's changed ? you 're still the same person . that woman got in your face , and you took it , and you went home with me , and we had our evening together . and that is exactly the way that we 're gon na ride this thing , okay ? hope : yeah . liam : strong and committed and together . deal ? hope : deal . liam : okay . hope : okay . okay . okay .	hope explains to brooke that she was upset when the woman stranger confronted her and called her an adulteress , but she really ca n't blame her so she 's not going to let it ruin her life . perhaps not , but ridge walks in with a rag magazine splashed with the photo of liam and hope kissing and branded hypocrite . the same at bill 's office as he shows it to liam . bill tells him there will be repercussions so they do n't have time for anything else . they need to move and move fast ; put out their own spin on the story in their own mainstream publications . sitting alone in aspen , steffy sees the photo from a link bill sent her . hope apologizes and says this never should have happened ; they should have been more discreet ( you think ? ) ridge says this is gon na affect the company so they need to rally the troops . the first thing hope needs to do is move out of liam 's house . brooke and ridge are at odds with this ; she does n't think this is fair . maybe hope should have thought about this before going public with kissing a married man . she 's taken an open stance and the public is not going to accept this hypocrisy so there goes the hope for the future line right down the drain . hope says they will have to go into damage control because she is not going to move out of liam 's house or apologize for loving him . liam interrupts the meeting and adds his side . ridge wonders if he has considered at all what this is doing to his wife . all due respect aside , liam says he needs to talk to hope alone . he tells her that she has done nothing wrong . madison pops in and says she ca n't hold the press off much longer ; hope needs to make a statement . liam tries to convince her that she is still the same woman that she was last night , so she ca n't worry abut what other people think . they are committed and that is all that matters .
nicole : say something . maya : i 'm not having this conversation . nicole : what ? i 'm not important enough ? the least you could do is tell me the truth . are you my big brother or my big sister ? maya : whatever you think you know , nicole -- nicole : m - y - r - o - n. that is what i know . you were named after grandpa avant . maya : you never had an older brother . nicole : i saw the birth certificate . i held it in my hand . maya : that 's impossible . katie : i think a little reality check might be in order here . i mean , before you try to force - feed me this `` maya and i are all about honesty `` pill . did n't she break up with you at one point and she never even told you why ? rick : yes . because your husband was blackmailing her . katie : [ sighs ] that is beside the point . rick : [ chuckling ] yeah . katie : i 'm just worried about this pedestal you 're setting her on . i mean , she 's human . she 's gon na disappoint you . and then what ? more bullet holes in the wall ? rick : [ sighs ] brooke : oh . gosh . just seems so wasteful . deacon : [ laughs ] brooke , i 'm gon na remind you of a little something . you 're filthy , dirty rich . i think it 'll be okay . besides , if you do n't stay up all night getting wasted , then it 's not really a waste , is it ? brooke : yeah , well , i could call the local liquor store . they will always deliver . deacon : yeah , but you 'd have to be drunk to do that . brooke : [ chuckles ] did i say thank you ? deacon : my memory 's a little spotty . brooke : i know i 've been awful to you through the years . i do n't even know why you 're here for me right now . but ... thank you . [ cell phone beeps ] brooke : where does quinn think you are ? deacon : she thinks i 'm with a friend . it 's called aa , and you need to go to a meeting tonight , if not sooner . brooke : oh , and do n't worry . i 'm not gon na be calling you every five minutes . deacon : it 's funny , you know , it used to always be my fantasy to be the guy who rescued you from everything . not the guy that you had to be rescued from . brooke : [ chuckles ] rick : i feel sorry for you and my mom -- most people that we know . 'cause if you want to settle and call it being realistic ... you know , that 's fine by me . but if i ca n't trust somebody one every level , i 'd rather just be alone . nicole : i do n't remember you living with us . maya : i moved out when you were young . you knew that . nicole : i do n't know if you ever saw it . but mama had this book . `` so your kid wants to know about `` -- you know , some title like that . and when i was asked on my first date , she brought it into the kitchen . and ... she showed me some pictures of girls who get venereal disease . and i did n't understand what she was talking about . i did n't know how you could get it going to a high school dance . when they left the house , i looked for it and ... i finally found it . up high in the garage , tucked away in one of mama 's old bags . and hidden in the bag ... was a hospital bracelet . and a baby picture . and a birth certificate ... for myron avant . maya : it was n't mine . nicole : `` male `` is what it said . at first , i thought they had a baby that died . maya : it was n't mine . nicole : what 's your date of birth , then , maya ? maya : it -- it was n't mine . because i had it changed . quinn : you 're home ! deacon : i am home . quinn : yay ! so , were you a hero ? deacon : little bit . quinn : yeah ? deacon : what are you working on ? quinn : i am putting some felt around these so it does n't scratch your sensitive skin . deacon : [ laughs ] well , my wrists thank you . quinn : yeah . hey , um ... was there a , uh , typo in the text you sent me ? deacon : no . quinn : well , i mean , i thought i was up on all the crazy internet slang these kids are using these days , but `` ily `` ? does that -- does that mean `` i 'm leaving you `` ? deacon : i love you . quinn : you 're helping some guy stay sober and that 's what you 're thinking about ? deacon : [ chuckles ] katie : maybe this visit was a bad idea . i mean , really my only intention was to tell you that brooke and i are friends again . so we should be closer , too . you do n't have to tell yourself that maya is the only one you can count on . rick : i love you , aunt katie . i do . maybe you think i should have spilled my guts while my mother was away . but here 's the thing . you 're married to a guy who wants a portion of my company , who thinks that i 'm some sort of undisciplined head case . so how can i rely on you ? because if the choice ever came down to between me or bill , you would choose bill every time . and i have a woman now that i can tell everything to , so you 'll have to forgive me if she 's the one i prefer to turn to . nicole : i knew it . maya : you want money ? is n't that what this is all about ? nicole : first you lie to me , then you insult me ? maya : [ sighs ] nothing wrong with looking out for yourself . it was always the key to my success . although blackmailing people is n't the most pleasant way to get there . nicole : what else was i supposed to do to get you to admit that you 're a freak ? maya : our father used that word , too . nicole : our whole lives were a lie because of you . maya : what 's the first thing you remember about me ? nicole : one of the missouri cousins was getting married . i was ... 7 ? when i went to give auntie caroline a kiss , she said to me in my ear , `` tell your sister i said hello . `` maya : she did ? i always wondered if she knew . nicole : so i asked about it on the way home . it got so quiet , i knew it was true . and dad said , `` yes , you have a sister that ran away from home . but we do n't talk about her to spare mama 's feelings . `` she did n't say anything . and that was it . until a lady showed up at my school . maya : your ninth birthday . nicole : you gave me a little velvet horse . and took me out for ice cream . maya : i was so alone . and i wanted to know you . i know you wo n't believe it now , but ... i wanted you to let me love you because i knew how hard it was to feel love in that house . nicole : then why did n't you come back ? maya : because , nicole , it felt impossible . nicole : nobody made a scene when you walked me home . maya : not till you went upstairs . nicole : you could have come back ! maya : i did . until i had to go . nicole : i was lonely , too . maya : i 'm sorry . you could have taken me with you . maya : no , sweetie , i could n't . i had to come here to california . there were things here that i needed that i could n't get in other places then , things that i could n't even ask for until i was 21 . nicole : you did n't look then like you do now . deacon : yes , i think about you , i think about loving you . it makes me happy . quinn : that 's sweet . deacon : you do n't think about me ? i mean , obsessively . you know , in that way that you do about everything ? quinn : sure . yes , i think , um ... `` why is he not here and how long is it going to take him to get back here to me ? `` deacon : okay , well , i guess that 's a start . that 's a little like love . quinn : [ chuckles ] so , how did it go ? i 'm not asking for specifics or names or anything . i respect the anonymity rule , but were you able to help ? deacon : yeah , i think i did . quinn : so he 's not gon na drink ? deacon : who ? no , no , not tonight . brooke : [ sighs ] katie : so where do you see this relationship with maya going ? i mean , you and caroline always talked about having children . rick : well , that 's definitely not gon na happen with ridge . i mean ... he 's already raised a couple families . katie : so the children you talked about having with caroline -- are you gon na have them with maya ? nicole : did you always have that voice ? maya : it 's been a few years . nicole : did you always talk like a girl ? maya : how do girls talk ? nicole : you were n't born with those . maya : no woman is . nicole : even your face is different . i saw it right away . your cheeks , your eyes -- what did you do to yourself ? maya : i grew into my body . the same way that you did . nicole : i 've read about the operations and ... procedures . what did you have done ? how many ? maya : [ sighs ] nicole : why could n't you just wear the clothes ? maya : because being myself is n't an outfit that i can put and take off . nicole : but if you did n't look right in the dress , did n't that tell you something ? namely that you were a boy ? maya : never . i never was . nicole : i mean the way nature made you . maya : this is the way i was born . every third woman in this town has a little bit of work done . new chin , a new nose , new breasts . who knows what kind of private alterations ? would you go up to her on the street and ask how many ? is she not a woman because some rebuilding has been involved ? nicole : it 's not the same thing , and you know it . maya : i knew i worried dad from a young age . other people did n't catch on until i was ... about the age you were when i picked you up from school . but i always knew . nicole : you could n't . kids do n't think like that . maya : i knew i was n't supposed to say anything . nobody had to tell me that . i hated haircuts and sundays . little boys had a freedom that little girls do n't have , and i never complained about that . but come sunday ... i knew that i was supposed to be wearing dresses like the other little girls at church . our mother said i would grow out of it . that lots of little boys play with dolls , she said . nicole : she said those were her dolls . maya : [ chuckles ] she was always trying to protect me . make excuses for me . mothers will do that . maybe it was how much i got sent home from school or how much i got beat up that made her panic . but at a certain point , i stopped panicking . and i realized i 'm not a freak . i know this is a shock for you . but the reason that you have only known me as your older sister is because that 's who i am . it 's who i 've always been . deacon : it was a little weird , to tell the truth . quinn : was he crazy and desperate ? i mean , you should be used to that with me . deacon : [ laughs ] you know , quinn , i have n't been to a.a . meetings in years . you know , i -- you probably did n't notice , but the minute i walked through the door , the first thing that was on my mind was just instinctively grabbing a beer out of the fridge . and this person is really new , and when you 're new , you have to have a sponsor . that 's somebody who 's been clean and sober for awhile , and that 's just not me anymore . but i really think i helped them . i mean , i do , and the thing about it is -- it made me feel stronger , you know ? more committed to my sobriety . quinn : question . are you gon na be all inspirational now ? do i have to maybe start reading a self - help book or two ? deacon : please do n't do anything rash . quinn : [ chuckles ] okay . i 'm gon na go down and close up the shop . you ... put these with the other toys . deacon : [ laughs ] i think i remember where these go . [ ringing ] [ cell phone ringing ] brooke : it 's you . deacon : how 's it going ? brooke : oh , uh , good . i was just taking the bottles out to the garage to recycling . how are you ? deacon : i 'm good if you are . brooke : you helped . a lot . deacon : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm not a very helpful person by nature . brooke : and yet here you are , calling to check up on me . deacon : take care , okay , brooke ? brooke : have a good day . deacon : [ sighs ] rick : yeah , i know maya wants kids . she had a daughter that she lost . she never got over that . so , yeah , when the time is right ... you know , i think she 's more in that nesting phase and less focused on her career . katie : so you would actually marry her ? rick : why ? i mean , can you think of one good reason not to ? nicole : i do n't understand how rick could not know . if you love him like you say , how could you have lied to him all this time ? maya : i never told him a lie . not one . unlike you . nicole : is that how you convince yourself that this is right ? that -- that it 's honest ? maya : i broke up with rick when we first met because i thought -- well , i thought he would react like you did . so i dated someone else . nicole : a man ? maya : yes . a man . but i was in love with rick . and i decided to find out if he would really reject me instead of rejecting myself in advance . nicole : but you still do n't know that . how could rick not find out ? you talk about marriage , you need a birth certificate for that . maya : i told you i had it changed . it 's one of the reasons i needed to come to california . i still had to go before a judge in illinois , but it 's done now . nicole : they let you do that ? maya : let me ? you have no idea the barriers that they put up . the affidavits , the evaluations , the doctor signatures . look , the bottom line is ... i had a medical problem that i needed corrected , so that my outside would match my inside . and for the first time , i felt like me . for the first time , i loved myself , and is n't that the point of living ? i had to love myself before i could let someone else love me , and i am sorry that that took a toll on us . but i can be there for you now . if you let me .	maya tells nicole that she is not having this conversation . nicole says all she wants to know is the truth does she have a big brother or a big sister . she saw a birth certificate that says myron so maya needs to tell the truth . maya says seeing that birth certificate is impossible . nicole says her mother had an old book that she only brought out once and after maya left home nicole found it and learned about myron . she thought it was a baby that had died . maya admits that she had her name changed . deacon throws away all of brooke 's alcohol and she thanks him . she asks what does quinn know about this . he says she thinks he is with a friend from aa and they will go again tonight . deacon returns home and quinn loves his text of ilu . deacon says yes he loves her and she makes him happy . he hopes she thinks about him in that way too . rick tells katie that if he can not trust a person on every level then he 'd rather be alone . he says he can not rely on katie because she was with ridge at the time and now he has maya who he can turn to and admit everything . nicole calls maya a freak . maya says her parents called her that too . she had to leave and go to california as they had things she needed and even then not until she was 21 . she could not come home although she wanted to . katie asks how does rick 's relationship shape up with maya . do they want children like he and caroline did . maya tells her sister that she ca n't just put on an outfit and make herself be that . every girl has some work and procedures done to make her more attractive . she was told lots of little boys play with dolls but they were only making excuses for her . at a certain point she stopped panicking and feeling like a freak . she is her older sister and that is who she will always be .
ridge : you 've been writing about our family for a long time , jarrett . only made sense that you would be the one to introduce him to the world . jarrett : it 's an honor , ridge . thank you . caroline : i 'm so glad that you were able to fit us in on such short notice . jarrett : oh , we dropped everything when we got your call . ridge : [ chuckles ] caroline : did you hear that , little nugget ? you 're so important . ridge : first family portrait . it 's really , really cool . hi . caroline : yes , but we better , uh , hurry if we want douglas to have his eyes open for this . jarrett : douglas . it 's your mother 's maiden name . ridge : yeah , she liked her grandchildren . and she 's gon na be part of his life , too . jarrett : okay , ready , guys ? [ douglas whimpering ] [ camera shutter clicking ] [ scene_break ] maya : if zende wants to get back together , nicole will take him back . she misses him . sasha : yeah , she told me . she feels awful . maya : yeah , well , so does zende . he does n't want to hurt nicole . sasha : but the reason they broke up really has n't changed . maya : maybe zende 's attitude has . rick : my wife can be very persuasive . maya : i have to believe that zende and nicole will work this out . sasha : i think it might be too late for that . [ scene_break ] zende : nicole , will you look at me ? i hate this feeling , knowing that i 've hurt you . i - i do n't want that . nicole : but you have n't changed your mind . you ca n't handle me being maya 's surrogate . zende : that 's on me . i do n't want you to feel bad about your decision . i just was n't the right guy to go through this with you . nicole : you were n't the right guy for me ? why would you say that , zende ? something 's different . something 's changed . are you seeing someone ? who ? [ scene_break ] [ camera shutter clicking ] caroline : okay , i think just a few more because he 's starting to get sleepy and so is his mama . [ chuckles ] ridge : not sleeping looks really good on you . caroline : hmm . jarrett : you 're a beautiful family . douglas is every bit as handsome as his father . you all look very happy . ridge : we are . jarrett : i notice maya 's portrait has been replaced by your mother 's . that seems significant . ridge : yeah , well , um ... maya is very important to this family and this company , but , uh ... rick and maya do n't live here anymore . jarrett : rick had his time on the throne , and that time is over . [ camera shutter clicks ] ridge : here . [ camera shutter clicks ] [ scene_break ] maya : i - i just do n't get what happened . nicole and zende seemed fine . they seemed happy . i have to believe they can fix this . rick : everything can be fixed . maya : so you do n't think i should worry ? sasha says they 're not getting back together . rick : well , let 's hope that she 's wrong . and you want to know what else is wrong ? ridge thinking he deserves to sit in this chair . [ scene_break ] nicole : tell me i 'm right . you 're -- you 're seeing someone ? veronica from legal ? zende : i 'm not gon na blurt out a name . we need to talk about this . nicole : so there is someone . zende : it was n't something i expected . i want you to understand that . nicole : she at forrester , one of the models ? zende : we were just friends , okay ? but then -- then once you and i broke up , things changed . nicole : who , zende ? zende : sasha .

[ voice breaking ] and that 's exactly what it felt like my entire life . do you know what it 's like to grow up two blocks away from my father and my sisters , to see the life that i always wanted but never got a chance to be a part of ? julius : by keeping you a secret , we could keep you close to us . sasha : [ scoffs ] [ chuckles tearfully ] i love you , daddy , but you are a mean man . what kind of father asks his daughter to keep herself a secret her entire life ? you know , i could blow your entire world wide open in a second . vivienne would leave you in a heartbeat . julius : then do it . go ahead ! you heard me ! do it ! but do n't you threaten me . so if you 're going to do it , sasha , then do it . [ scene_break ] zende : sasha was there for me as a friend . nicole : oh , yeah . i 'll bet . zende : it was n't like that . nicole : i do n't want to hear this . zende : i did n't want this , nicole . hell , i wanted to be with you ! but the baby got in the way , and i wish it had n't , but i ca n't help the way i feel ! nicole : no ! do not blame this on my pregnancy ! you made this choice ! zende : i had to tell you . i have been honest with you from the beginning . listen , when maya asked you to be her surrogate , i told you the truth . nicole : do n't stop now . zende : i 'm not blaming you . but if you were gon na have a baby ... why not mine ? why was their happiness more important than ours ? we had such an amazing future ahead of us , nicole . nicole : but you could n't wait for it ? zende : oh , come on , nicole . that was too much to ask . i tried to be understanding . i really did . now i 'm hoping i can get a little understanding from you . [ scene_break ] rick : i 'm not gon na deny it . i miss being ceo . we took this company to heights it 's never seen before . maya : it was exciting . rick : leading the company , running the estate . we were building a legacy for our son or daughter . i wanted our child to see your portrait and have a sense of belonging , a sense of pride . now we 're living with my mother , taking orders from ridge . maya : our child will be proud of you no matter what because you 're gon na be an amazing father . rick : yeah , but a good father would give his child something to aspire to . ridge set me up . he wanted the house . he knew exactly how to do it , just like he got me out of the company . he manipulated me like he does to so many people so many times . [ scene_break ] jarrett : he is a beautiful boy . ridge : thank you . caroline : sorry we could n't hold off the nap a little longer . jarrett : oh , i completely understand . those last shots were precious . douglas is very lucky . he could n't have picked a better mom and dad . ridge : jarrett 's right , you know . caroline : yeah . we are pretty lucky . ridge : no , he was wrong about that . luck has nothing to do with it . we made this happen -- running the forrester estate , we 're running the company , raising a beautiful boy . it 's us . we made the right choices . we did this . [ scene_break ] rick : i should n't have left . i fell for ridge 's tricks . so did my dad . and no matter what , my dad always gives ridge the benefit of the doubt . maya : but why ? that 's what i do n't get . i mean , i look at the history between your mother and eric . how does ridge keep getting away with it ? rick : believe me , i wish i knew . he 's done it my whole life . and you know what disgusts me ? the fact that he uses everybody like it 's his own personal chess board . me , you , my mom , his own children . and as far as ridge is concerned , we 're all here to feed his ego . maya : you beat him once . you 're gon na beat him again . rick : yeah , but it 's gon na be a lot harder without my dad in our corner . maya : hey . you wo n't be alone . [ chuckles ] rick : no , i know that . [ chuckles ] but i do n't want his animosity towards me to affect you or the baby . ridge has got to be stopped . he thinks he can take whatever he wants . and trust me , there 's nothing that ridge wo n't stick his claim to . [ scene_break ] ridge : there 's that look again . caroline : i 'm not freaking out . ridge : oh , good . caroline : i 'm just ... when you talk about what we did and the choices that we made , i ca n't help but think about thomas . ridge : well , maybe you should think about douglas . caroline : i am . ridge : that 's enough . let 's think about him and his future . he 's our responsibility . he 's our son , and i 'm his father , so we do n't have to discuss it anymore . caroline : i 'm not saying that it 's a problem . it 's just ... going to come up . ridge : it ca n't come up . if it does , it 's over . it 's gon na tear this family apart . [ scene_break ] julius : i am sick and tired of hearing about how awful i was to you , how mean i am . now , you want to destroy my life , go ahead . do it . but do n't you ever forget i kept a roof over your head . sasha : no , you bought my mother 's silence ! julius : i paid for everything that you needed . and where do you think that money came from ? you think it came out of thin air ? no ! it did n't ! i busted my butt ! i busted my butt and earned every penny , so i could take care of both of you . sasha : and all i wanted was your love . julius : and i gave you all that i could . sasha : and you denied me everything that mattered ! julius : lower your voice ! and stop being so dramatic ! sasha : [ chuckles ] says the man who 's pretending to be some kind of selfless hero . admit it , dad . i am more like you than maya and nicole will ever be . we do what we have to do to survive . julius : i want you to stop threatening me . i 'm not gon na talk about this anymore . and , sasha , you will keep this secret .

[ scene_break ] rick : ridge does n't follow the rules or pay the consequences , and i 'm not gon na rest until we 're back on top . maya : then we 'll do it together . rick : we were the first family of forrester . i 'm eric forrester jr . i will take my rightful place in the business and the family home . maya : okay . so where do we start ? rick : we 're gon na need leverage . maya : your dad ? rick : i wish . but unfortunately , i think we 're gon na be on our own . and we might have to play by ridge 's rules . maya : you just said he does n't play by the rules . rick : i have to get something on him , maya . maya : like what ? rick : i do n't know . something . there has to be something . i ... if there 's one thing i know about that man ... it 's he has secrets . [ scene_break ] caroline : we have to be honest with each other . i want to be able to tell you how i feel . ridge : i always want you to be honest with me . and i always want you to tell me how you feel , but i 'm -- i 'm trying to come to terms with this , too , trying to come to terms with what thomas did to you that night . he took advantage of you . you were drugged , vulnerable . i do n't want douglas to pay for that . i want him to have the life , the family , and the father that he deserves . [ scene_break ] sasha : secrets do n't solve anything . julius : sometimes they 're necessary . sasha : that 's your great fatherly advice ? julius : my advice is to give zende a chance to figure this out , find out what he really wants . sasha : [ scoffs ] what he really wants is a woman who 's gon na treat him right . i 'm sorry , but nicole brought this on herself . julius : i warned her . i warned nicole . i told her that this pregnancy would interrupt the relationship she was having with zende . sasha : guess it was just too much for him . julius : but maya . maya -- maya made it impossible for her to refuse . she just kept on piling on the guilt and the obligation , and now it 's -- it 's too late to turn back . look , you 're gon na do whatever it is you 're gon na do . i know that , but ... just keep your mouth shut about me , okay ? sasha : wait , you 're not gon na interfere anymore ? even if she tells me to go home or tries to get me fired again ? julius : i will do my best to stay out of it , okay ? sasha : daddy , thank you . is it really that hard for you to just hold me and make me feel a little bit of appreciation ? julius : listen , sasha -- sasha : okay , i see . you do n't want someone to come in and see the man that you really are , because you 're not the man you pretend to be . zende is a real man , and he cares about me . and you know what ? i am not letting him go , no matter what ! [ scene_break ] zende : i 'll always care about you , nicole . i 'm not gon na forget what we had . nicole : sasha and i are best friends . like sisters . zende : we knew you 'd be upset , but it 's not something that i was gon na hide from you . nicole : [ voice breaking ] `` we `` ? [ sobs ] wow . is that naive ? was that the problem ? was i too idealistic ? wanting to give my sister this baby , asking you to wait and putting our relationship on hold . i put the pressure on you , right ? but sasha ? [ sobbing ] after everything that happened with rick and the job , you knew that is what i was afraid of ! [ sobs ] you knew how much this would hurt me ! damn it , zende ! and i may not have the right to say it , but if you and sasha ever ... no . [ sobs , sniffles ] you and sasha . please . please tell me that 's not true . [ sobbing ]	ridge tells jarrett he has been with him a long time so it is only natural that he would be the one to announce douglas to the world . they set up for a photo shoot . zende asks nicole to look at him . he does not want her to regret her decision , but he is not the right guy to go through it with her . she wonders if he is seeing someone for him to come up with this decision all of a sudden . maya tells rick that zende and nicole seemed so happy . she ca n't help but think this can be fixed and they will get back together . rick says anything can be fixed . nicole keeps questioning zende who this other person is ; she wants to know if she works at forrester . she is devastated when she hears it is sasha . julius pops in and sees sasha first who is only too glad to spill the beans that she is seeing zende now , not nicole . julius says he told her to stay away from zende but she could not wait to get her hooks into him . this must be payback . she says she is not going back to chicago or anywhere . she barks at him that he kept her a secret and the minute he found a chance to leave he did . he kept her from her sisters . she loves him but he is a mean man . she could blow his entire world . he tells her go ahead and do it but stop threatening him .

he betrayed us , brooke . he took advantage of you in your most vulnerable moment . and you know what ? he 's doing it again . brooke : no . i do n't -- i do n't think that 's what he 's doing . ridge : why do you think he dragged you back to that island this time ? brooke : he just wanted me to relax , ridge . and i did . ridge : no , brooke -- no , no . it was a very calculated move on his part . trust me . there 's a lot more going on here than meets the eye . he 's offering you a fantasy . and i 'm sure it 's got to be very enticing -- you know , sailing off into the sunset , leaving all your problems in your wake . but the reality here , brooke , is that you 're making a commitment to a man you do n't even love . brooke : nick is the father of my child . ridge : that is not a reason to get married . brooke : rick and bridget did n't grow up in a home with their father . and hope is n't , either -- and i 'm not going to let that happen to this little boy . i have to break that cycle . i need to do what 's best for my children . ridge : how do you expect your kids to be happy if you 're not ? brooke : well , maybe i will be . maybe once i get out from under this black cloud -- ridge : you 're just gon na throw our life away on a maybe ? brooke : ridge , no ! i just ca n't do this anymore . ridge : so we 'll try something else . we 'll find another way . this , brooke -- this is a mistake . and i 'm not gon na let you make it . brooke : it 's not up to you , is it ? ridge : are you telling me , you 're actually considering this proposal of nick 's ? brooke , no ! you 've sacrificed far too much already . and if you 're not going to listen to me about this , i know someone who will . brooke : ridge , wait ! ridge , please ! jackie : a good sign . is that what you said ? stephanie : well , she 's contemplating the future with nick . jackie : yes , but for the sake of the child . stephanie : i think it will be good for her , as well . jackie : you do ? stephanie : as a matter of fact , i suggested that she accept nick 's proposal . jackie : why ? oh , no , no . do n't take it the wrong way , stephanie . i 'm very , very grateful . i know how much brooke respects your opinion . it 's just that i also know how much it 's gon na hurt ridge . stephanie : yes , it will . but , they 've got ta both move on . jackie : but can they ? this was brooke 's decision . i mean , no one forced her to make it . stephanie : and no one can force ridge to accept it . jackie : will he fight it ? stephanie : oh , i think this situation is going to get a whole lot worse , before it gets better . massimo : let 's get started . now , i can tell you that marone industries has had a very , very profitable quarter . and while our diversification has been successful , our biggest gains have been through shipping , thanks to the pacific fleet . now , with the addition of more asian routes and our completion of our newest tanker , it has pushed our revenues to record highs . and gentlemen -- i want to keep them there . ridge , you 're late . where have you been ? ridge : picking up after my little brother . hey , nick ? i think you misplaced something . jackie : of course ridge is upset , but he 'll get over it -- eventually . stephanie : well , if brooke accepts nick 's proposal , he 'll have to accept it . jackie : of course she 's going to accept it . i mean , this engagement -- it 's the best thing that 's happened in a long time for all of us -- including ridge . stephanie : that 's overstating it a bit . jackie : stephanie , i 've seen what this ordeal has done to him . he 's miserable . both he and brooke , they need to close this chapter in their lives . and with your support and this proposal , i think they can do it . ridge : you 're not going to get away with this , nick ! nick : i 'm not getting away with anything . ridge : oh , you 're damn right about that . massimo : ridge , we 're in a meeting . ridge : nick and i have our own business to settle . massimo : this is a not the time or the place . and your behavior is inappropriate . ridge : inappropriate ? he proposed to my wife ! nick : she 's not your wife anymore . massimo : dominick , don't . ridge : no , do it . come on . you wan na do it now ? let 's do it now . come on . massimo : not here ! member : perhaps we should reschedule . give your sons an opportunity to work out their differences . massimo : right . ridge : well , that 's not going to happen . not until my back - stabbing brother gets back in his dingy and sails off to wherever he came from . massimo : i 'm sorry , gentlemen . what can i tell you ? these kind of things happen . i will see you soon . nick : well done , bro . ridge : no , bro . i have n't done anything yet . but i 'm about to . samantha : thank you both so , so much . thank you , thomas . thank you . thomas : this is caitlin . caitlin : hi , nice to meet you , miss kelly . samantha : it 's nice to meet you . oh , no , samantha , please . samantha : oh . samantha . do you go to roxbury academy , too ?

( clears throat ) to what i hope will be an enlightening evening and , uh , to this beautiful woman who has consumed my thoughts and my dreams . to you , taylor ... with the hopes that this night , forsaking all others , i can do the same for you . ( glasses clink ) whip : cheers . ( glasses clink ) brooke : cheers .	brooke tells whip that ridge may still back out of their double date tonight with him and taylor , but she 's keeping good thoughts . she warns him that taylor has never gotten over ridge so whip should be careful if he is falling in love with her . he admits he needs to see this for himself . ridge asks taylor what it is all about . all she can say it was not her idea . she thinks it might be some sort of test for whip to see if she is still emotionally attached to ridge . she tells ridge that she knows their time together has come and gone , and she has been intimate with whip but he needs to know for himself that she is not attached to ridge . she does n't want him to feel second best . ridge thinks she is putting too much pressure on herself by doing this . eric tells stephanie that he has his muse back ; he is feeling more inspirations to design . and everyone in the building and industry is happy to have stephanie back at fc . katie tells bill that she does not miss spencer / forrester creations at all . she has loved all the long walks at the beach and being alone with her hubby . donna interrupts eric and wants to rag on pammy for not treating her with respect .

[ scene_break ] thorne : honey ... what is it your mom wants you to do exactly ? aly : get rid of the filth . thorne : [ sighs ] aly , i do n't understand . aly : wyatt and what he brings into the company , to our family . mom wants me to protect hope . thorne : that 's not your job . aly : yes , it is . thorne : honey ... aly : do you remember when you gave me this ? thorne : yes . of course i do . aly : it 's gold . thorne : yes , it is . it 's a heart . let me show you something , too . mommy will always be in your heart . and mine , too , sweetheart . aly : i always listen to mom when she gives advice . i mean , she 's in heaven . she knows what she 's talking about . thorne : i 'm sure she does , honey . and i know you like to think of her as a saint . and that 's how i remember her , too . she was a good person , aly . and i do n't think your mother would be opposed to wyatt and hope 's relationship . aly : well , then , i guess you did n't know her very well , did you ? [ scene_break ] wyatt : okay , look , i 'm not brining this up because you look damn good in lingerie . but you really , really do , by the way . um , but , no . i just -- i did a little research . hope : mm - hmm . wyatt : okay ? brooke 's bedroom was huge . it was the biggest moneymaker for forrester . if you took that over -- hope : but we 've talked about this , and i am so flattered . i am . but i think i would just feel so ... so weird having my body on display like that . wyatt : why ? hope : because i 'm not my mom . wyatt : ugh . hope : i 'm not . and besides , you know , i do n't even know if we have time for a lingerie line . in case you did n't notice , we have a lot going on . i mean , we just started the stephanie forrester jewelry collection . wyatt : i know . which will be great . which will be great . that would draw people in . but if you took over the bedroom line , i mean , jaws will drop , all right ? hope : thank you . [ laughs ] i mean , i -- i could consider it . i could . wyatt : yeah ? hope : but there is a reason that i started hope for the future . growing up with my mom , it was ... she was just so blatant with her sexuality . it was embarrassing . wyatt : right . hope : it was . i 'd go to school and all the other kids knew what my mom looked like half naked . you know , hope for the future gave a different message . and i 'm not sure how it would reflect on me if i started modeling lingerie . wyatt : it would show that you 're an adult with many different sides to you . there are a lot of women who would love to wear hope for the future during the day and hope 's bedroom at night . i mean , imagine the sales that we 'd get . just like when your mom first started the line . hope : oh , the heyday of forrester . my mother modeling and ridge designing . wyatt : mm - hmm . and i just so happen to fancy myself a young ridge . hope : ah . hmm . wyatt : not really ? hope : no . wyatt : [ laughs ] and you are the quintessential young brooke . i mean , i - i do n't know how you could say no to this . [ scene_break ] rick : here you go . brooke : thank you . rick : how much did you drink ? brooke : i do n't know . rick : well , caroline and i are just across the way . you do n't ... you do n't ever have to drink alone . brooke : you said you knew . rick : about ridge and katie ? yeah . brooke : she believed in me . she trusted me to lead her family . rick : you 're doing a fantastic job . brooke : oh , yeah . yeah , i 've been doing a great job . look at what i did to katie . so , who told you ? rick : bill . he 's worried about you , mom . he came to see me . i left you a message . i swung by the house , but the lights were out . i assumed that you were asleep , and i did n't have any idea that you would be here . brooke : i 'm glad that you 're the one that found me . and not eric or aly . rick : they would have understood . brooke : [ sighs ] i do n't . rick : ridge and katie got together because of some sort of payback . brooke : [ sighs ] part of me wonders that ... deep down . but i - i just ca n't imagine them consciously wanting to hurt me . there has to be some kind of explanation . rick : no , there 's no explanation . he promised that he was n't gon na do this again . brooke : i know . [ sighs ] i know . rick : mom , after all these years , watching you believe his lies and getting hung up every single time . and now this ? that 's your sister . he promised , mom . [ scene_break ] eric : well , i better get to the office . you 're coming to the meeting , right ? quinn : yeah , i 'll be there . eric : do you know what wyatt has on the agenda ? quinn : um ... no , i 'm not sure , but probably something positive for hope , i imagine . [ scene_break ] aly : mom has always steered me in the right direction . thorne : but do you remember what your doctor said ... about believing that it 's okay that your mother is looking -- aly : even on the day you gave me this locket ... you were supposed to marry her . but she steered me right that day , too . thorne : honey , taylor was -- aly : do n't say her name . i do n't want to talk about her . thorne : okay . okay . aly : i do n't think mom was a saint . she was . selfless to the end . she had the same kind of values that hope used to talk about . and that is why mom has put me on this mission . she and i are full of so much love for the forrester family . and she wants me by hope 's side , to keep her out of trouble . and that is exactly what i intend to do . [ scene_break ] wyatt : you are not the same girl you were when you started hope for the future . you 've -- you 've grown . you 've matured . and your clientele has grown with you . hope : well , i am more comfortable with my sexuality now . that 's for sure . wyatt : mm . and i am happy to benefit from that . hope : hey , now . wyatt : hey , now . hope : actually , honestly , it is a lot because of you . wyatt : oh , yeah ? hope : yeah . wyatt : hmm . hope : yeah , you opened me up to a new relationship , a new kind of intimacy , a new outlook . i think that you 've even enabled me to see my mother in a new light . wyatt : really ? hope : yeah . wyatt : hmm . hope : i mean , a part of me will always remember what it was like growing up with her , but that is something that i will never be able to explain to you . only bridget and rick will understand that , but ... i do see her from a more mature viewpoint . yeah , that sensuous side of things that i was always so ... intimidated by , i 'm ... really not anymore . wyatt : are you saying that you understand why she 'd wear lingerie for the world ? hope : yes . wyatt : and maybe you see the benefit in doing it , too ? hope : maybe . wyatt : yeah ? hope : i think ... i mean , i know i could do it . i could . wyatt : yeah ! hope : and i would do it . i would . and i kind of want to . wyatt : yes ! yes ! this is -- i 'm telling you , this is gon na be epic . hope : i feel like i 've been trying to run away from my sexuality for so long , always trying to separate myself from my mother . but ... this is business . it is . and i 'm a woman , and i have nothing to hide . and i 'm certainly not ashamed of myself . wyatt : good . i am so glad you said that because this meeting today , um ... hope : yeah ? wyatt : i sort of , kind of , have an agenda . hope : [ gasps ] wyatt . wyatt : it was a launch idea . it was a launch -- hope : a launch idea for me ? wyatt : mm - hmm . hope : ooh , and you did n't even get my permission ? you 're the worst . wyatt : i just -- i just -- hope : mm - hmm . wyatt : i just knew you 'd say yes . hope : it is such a good thing that you know me so well . wyatt : [ laughs ] and it is a good thing that the office puritan quit . hope : who ? wyatt : your shadow . hope : oh , god . aly . oh , poor aly . wyatt : you know what ? i 'm -- i 'm not sad she left . i 'm sorry . it 'll make putting you front and center in the lingerie campaign that much easier . she would have gotten upset and made everyone else upset , and it just would n't have been good . hope : i know . wyatt : it just -- it 'll make this a whole lot smoother of a transition . hope : you 're right . what do you say ? should we think about going into the office ? wyatt : no . it 's the middle of the night . hope : oh , you 're so right . i do n't know what i was thinking . god , i must be crazy . wyatt : mm - hmm . [ both laugh ] wyatt : no , no , no . this is great . look , if we get approval , then we 'll do an actual photo shoot with hope in lingerie . this -- this will get the point across , though . and thank you for getting it to me so quickly , oliver . i owe you one . okay . sounds good . thanks . bye . [ cell phone beeps ] aly : what 's all that ? wyatt : hey ... aly . uh , this is just something i 'm working on . what brings you by ? aly : i work here . wyatt : uh ... no . you quit . aly : you believed that ? sometimes i say things i do n't mean . i 'm a forrester , wyatt . i belong here . i can quit every day if i want to and still show up for work tomorrow . wyatt : [ scoffs ] aly : same ca n't be said for you . because you 're a fuller . full of something , and it stinks . wyatt : i have a meeting to set up for , so -- aly : oh , the one you called for ? good . great . set up . i 'm here for it , too . wyatt : [ chuckles ] you are not gon na want to stick around for this . aly : why not ? wyatt : uh , i mean -- aly : trying to get away with something else , are we ? wyatt : really ? aly : you may have conned my grandpa and rick , but i am still watching you . wyatt : yeah , i 've noticed . aly : you do one more thing to disgrace hope or this family , and you 're gone . wyatt : aly , look , i know you want to protect hope , but something that you think is a disgrace might actually be really good for this company . and the decision is up to eric and rick , not you . i suggest that you do n't stick around for this meeting . aly : sorry , but i am . wyatt : you wo n't like what you see . you should turn around and leave . all right . you 've been warned . aly : i 'm hope 's shadow . and i will protect her . [ scene_break ] brooke : do n't do anything , rick . to ridge , i mean . you two have been at odds for so long . i do n't want to see something happen . i do n't think i could handle that . rick : he treats you like garbage . brooke : and why should n't he ? look at how i treated my sister . rick : do n't do that . brooke : she was married . she was going through postpartum depression , and what did i do ? i just stepped right in there , and i lived up to my reputation . is that really any surprise ? rick : stop . look , i do n't like to -- i do n't like to see you beat yourself up like this . brooke : stephanie wanted me to be the forrester matriarch . i just [ sighs ] i could n't do it . i 'm sorry .	with eric in san francisco , rick lets himself into the house to pick up some sketches and finds brooke sprawled out on the couch . with a bottle nearby , it is clear that she has been drinking big time . he manages to revive her and to ascertain that she took a cab over . she does n't remember much after that except she had been drinking and then must have fell asleep . hope giggles when wyatt wakes her up with a kiss . despite the sunlight out , he tries to convince her it is night and they do not have to go into the office . then he tries to convince her to spread out a bit and open her own lingerie line . it takes some talking but he finally gets her to say yes and he 's already got a launch meeting set up . and he 's just glad that the office puritan has quit . it will make this go so much easier . aly is in her room cutting out hundreds of paper dolls of hope for collages for the wall . thorne surprises her when he knocks on the door and comes in . she had not realized he was coming from paris . then she realizes that eric called him and they are worried about her . he admits eric called him and said aly had sort of lost it yesterday . she says she was taking a stand . he says she needs to ease up and trust that rick and eric know what they are doing . she is upset when she mentions her mom and he thinks she is imagining things . she says her mom talks to her a lot and she said she knows right from wrong and she needs to put an end to what is happening at fc . thorne asks exactly what does her mom want her to do . aly replies to get rid of the filth wyatt and his mother and what they bring to fc and their family . she argues with her dad that it is her job to protect hope . thorne says he knows aly thinks her mother was a saint and that 's the way he remembers her too , a very good person . but he does n't think she would be opposed to wyatt and hope 's relationship . aly sneers that he must not have known her mother that well after all . but she always listens to her advice . she will not allow thorne to say the word taylor . but she goes on again about how good darla was and wants her to be by hope 's side to keep her out of trouble . thorne clinches his lips when she says that is exactly what she intends to do . eric returns from his trip and stops by the boutique to see quinn and assures her that he missed her and she is doing well with the stephanie jewelry collection . he 'll see her at the meeting tonight .
nicole : you want me to forgive you ? maya : i want you to understand . nicole : for you not being there ? maya : yes . nicole : you were here in california . maya : i know it 's hard to understand . but i was doing what i had to do . [ scene_break ] ridge : sorry we 're late . carter : yeah . our court reservation did n't come through on time . rick : hey , i know how important a manly tennis match is in the middle of a work day . it 's okay . i had someone here to help me pass the time -- your ex . i 'm sorry . i 'll narrow it down for you . it was , uh ... katie . she and bill -- apparently , fabulous honeymoon . ridge : i 'm sure it was all champagne and fairy dust . rick : she says she 's never been happier . ridge : why are we here ? carter : i vote that we postpone until caroline gets back from new york . rick : no , no , no . we 're not gon na twiddle our thumbs while caroline 's off taking springtime selfies . ridge , you can take notes . i 've been looking over yours and caroline 's sketches . pam ! hey , pam ? ! pam : yeah ? rick : where 's ivy ? can you get her in here , please ? pam : yeah . sure . rick : uh , so , the winter line -- wow . it 's big . it 's bold . it 's sleek , but it 's still squarely in line with the forrester stylistic traditions . there is , however , one issue that i 'm seeing . [ scene_break ] ivy : hey , uh , liam , i ca n't . i ca n't . i ca n't leave work yet . liam : oh , how long does a work day have to be to make rick happy , really ? ivy : it 's not a question of how to make rick happy , because we all just understand and accept that that ca n't be done . he keeps handing me these scribbled notes , saying , `` what good is jewelry that ... ? `` liam : somebody needs to yank the rug out from under him , and by `` rug , `` i mean `` forrester . `` and by `` somebody , `` i mean `` me . `` pam : ivy , rick wants to see you . ivy : well , did he say what it 's about ? pam : no , but my hunch is that it wo n't be an especially joyous occasion . liam : you know what ? i 'm coming with you . ivy : no ! why would you put yourself through that ? liam : 'cause i do n't want rick to trample you . pam : uh , news flash -- he 's gon na trample , whether you come or not . liam : all right . then i 'm coming with you because i annoy him . pam : i think that 's probably a good enough reason . ivy : yes , and if you could annoy maya at the same time ... pam : well , unfortunately , maya 's not here . ivy : hmm . [ scene_break ] ridge : but why would he change it ? silk does n't drape the same way . why would he change it ? rick : carter , you can attest to it . we have a contract . liam , this is a team meeting . liam : you are aware spencer owns a piece of this company right ? rick : did you steal that line from your daddy ? because that 's what he always says . liam : oh . well , it 's a shame you did n't inherit more of your own father 's manners . rick : unless you 're in here to shove me again , i do n't care if you stay . it 's always so easy to forget you 're even in the room . ivy : rick , you said you wanted to see me . rick : yeah . ivy , ivy , ivy . look , i know that , uh , you have a problem with me , and i 'm heartbroken . honestly , i think you 're adorbs , as caroline might post . but your work at hand -- not so much . liam : excuse me . i have a question . uh , what is your expertise in women 's jewelry ? rick : actually , a woman brought this problem to me . ivy : i think we can all guess which one . [ scene_break ] nicole : one thing i do n't get -- what about your daughter ? maya : she was my boyfriend 's child . he got into a lot of trouble . i became her guardian and raised her like she was my own . she died in a car accident . [ voice breaking ] and it was such a painful time . but my life has changed so much now . i live here . i 'm in love with rick . i 'm living a life that i never dreamed i 'd be living . and i do n't -- i do n't want to lose him , nicole . rick and i are gon na work out . i really believe that . [ scene_break ] rick : carter , refresh my memory . what 's our contractual agreement with ivy ? liam : i 'm sorry . what is the point of this exercise , exactly ? carter : she 's a subcontract providing designing services for a fee . there 's no terms of employment , so she 's not an employee . rick : so , she can be terminated ? carter : there 's nothing to terminate . liam : is this supposed to humiliate ivy or cheer her up or -- or what ? rick : i 'm just trying to find out what our obligations are to each other . ivy : well , apparently , we do n't have any obligation to me . i think that 's the idea . rick : ivy , you 're good . you 're very good . but i need more from you . i know the winter line is in sketches . it 's a little hard to visualize . but your designs have been timid . you 're going for an understated elegance , something that 's small , a derivative . i 've seen it thousand times . liam : so , this is it ? this is how you give employee feedback ? rick : she 's not an employee . ivy : you know -- you know what ? rick 's right . you 're right . i mean , he has no social graces -- we know that already -- so we ca n't expect to see them . it 's just you 're basically saying you want to see something gutsier . rick : yeah . our buyers are looking for more of that fanciful to crazy jewelry pieces that quinn used to dream up . ivy : okay , great ! sounds a lot more fun for me anyway . i mean , i just thought i was giving you what you wanted . rick : in fact , i think the entire design team should think about maya when they do their work -- you know , like the way a necklace lays on her or how a coat drapes off of her shoulders . i know you 're all mentally rolling your eyes at me , but maya is our lead model . if we do n't capitalize on her look , her style , her particular femininity , then you 're derelict in your duties . any questions ? [ scene_break ] nicole : you were born male . maya : this is something i 've known all my life . nicole : that 's just a thought in your head . how can you believe an idea over your own body the way that it came in to this world ? maya : people are born without hands , without hearing , with cleft palates , with hearts that need to be rebuilt . do we say to them , `` tough luck -- that 's how you were born ? `` i realize that we are talking about something that you 've never experienced . at some point in your life , believe me , you will have to stand up and say , `` i am not who you 're telling me i 'm supposed to be . `` nicole : i already did . that 's why i left home . maya : same here . can you imagine , nicole , going in to a party back home and saying , `` hi . i 'm transgender `` or just `` trans , `` if they even know what that is ? what do you think would happen ? nicole : people would respect me more for it . maya : `` are those padded ? they are n't very big . what was your real name -- the one before now ? what did you have removed down there ? what 's down there now ? you know hormone pills cause cancer , right ? why could n't you just be gay ? `` i do n't owe anyone that information . people look at me now , and they see a woman . and , honestly , whether they do or not , it 's who i am . end of story . nicole : a woman who wants to marry a guy who does n't know she can never have children .

[ door opens ] oh . hey . what 's up ? you look upset . donna : i ca n't stop thinking about that video i took of brooke and bill kissing . quinn : well , i know . i 'm just impressed you had the wherewithal to pull out your phone and start recording . i 'm just ... i 'm just upset that you deleted the video . i mean , talk about a smoking gun . but ridge can still learn the truth . shauna : i 've made a decision . quinn : okay . bill : you okay ? katie : yeah . bill : you seem distracted . katie : [ sighs ] just ca n't help thinking about sally and flo . i mean , it 's one thing for wyatt to know that sally is dying . he 's the man that she loves . but if she does n't want pity from wyatt , then i ca n't imagine she 's gon na want any pity from flo . sally : flo , i did n't expect you . flo : yeah , i can see that . sally : yeah , i just mean , you know , normally people call or text before they show up . flo : i 'm sorry . i was just following an impulse . you look great , by the way . sally : i have good days and bad days . but , i mean , you know what i 'm talking about . you 've known for quite some time , have n't you ? katie : we get it for something with these . wyatt : hey . katie : oh , hey . any word on sally and flo ? wyatt : uh , it 's a little too soon , do n't you think ? katie : sure . yeah . i guess if things are going well . bill : well , i 'd be prepared for the possibility they won't . sally and flo are n't exactly best friends . wyatt : that rivalry 's in the past . according to flo , she just wants to help sally live her best life possible , however long that is . bill : not every woman would be that generous . katie : [ sighs ] that 's true . wyatt : i hope sally can see that , too . i hope the two of them can come to some kind of new understanding , however brief that may be . sally : you know i 'm dying . flo : yeah . it 's why i came by actually . sally : do you want me to tell him the truth , dr . escobar ? you want me to tell wyatt that i am not dying ? flo : i just really hope you 're not gon na be mad at wyatt for telling me . sally : i mean , here i thought i had this great , big secret , but it turns out everybody already knew , so ... flo : i know you wanted to keep it a secret -- and part of me really does understand that -- but , honestly , i am -- i 'm glad it 's out . because there are a lot of people who care about you , sally -- people who wan na be there to support you through this . and for the record , that includes me . quinn : this is why i love you , why we will be best friends for life . you always have these annoying attacks of conscience , and then you end up doing the right thing . so , when are you going to tell ridge ? shauna : quinn , stop . you need to listen , please . i 'm not saying anything to ridge about that video . quinn : what ? but you just said -- shauna : and actually , i do n't even think i 'm ever gon na see ridge again . quinn : what do you mean ? shauna : i 'm leaving l.a . i 'm gon na go back to vegas . donna : you kissed bill . i mean , how in the world does that even happen ? brooke : it was the night before thomas and zoe 's wedding . and i was sick and tired of fighting with ridge ... donna : [ scoffs ] brooke : ... and not being heard . brooke : and bill was there . and he was listening , and he was being caring and supportive , and ... i -- it just happened . donna : oh , my god . brooke : i know . i know . i know it 's a mistake . we both knew that . the minute it happened , we vowed never to do that ever again . he loves katie , and i 'm committed to ridge . you have to believe me , donna . donna : [ sighs ] okay . brooke : [ sighs ] donna : okay . fine . i believe you . but wow . i mean ... wow . brooke : i know . i know . it -- it -- it was a mistake , okay ? but how did you know ? i mean , were you there ? did you see us kiss ? you were down at the cabin ? donna : oh , no . not me . but somebody else definitely was . katie : i know it must be hard -- living with sally , knowing you only have a limited amount of time . and being apart from flo , since you just found your way back to each other . wyatt : flo and i have what sally does n't -- fortunately , time . katie : i 'm so sorry . bill : me , too , son . wyatt : look , do i wish this had n't had happened ? [ scoffs ] that sally was healthy and that flo and i were finally starting our future together ? yeah . of course . but let me clear here . this is n't a chore for me . i want to be there for sally . flo : i am just so sorry that you 're going through this . i ... you should have years ahead of you , not -- not weeks . sally : yeah , well , nothing is promised , right ? anything can happen , and i 'm living proof of that . one day i 'm healthy as a horse , and the next i 'm ... flo : yeah . i ca n't even imagine how shocking that was . sally : yeah , well , i really did n't want anyone to know , especially wyatt , because i did n't want him to feel responsible or feel sorry for me . flo : look , i can assure you that that is not what he -- sally : you do n't have to . really . wyatt and i have been very open with each other , and i straight out asked him if all of the attention that he was giving me was because he felt sorry for me , and he said that it wasn't . he assured me that this is where he wants to be -- here with me at home until ... the end . which is exactly what 's getting me through right now . it 's ... the only thing that i 'm holding on to . quinn : what are you talking about , going back to vegas ? shauna : [ sighs ] the plan was never to move here permanently . quinn : you ca n't leave me . it 's out of the question . especially now . when ridge finds out that brooke has been kissing bill , he 's out . he wo n't stand for this , clearing the way for you know who . it would be foolish of you to go back to struggling in vegas now . you are gon na stay here and watch brooke get blown out of the water , and then you are gon na be with the man of your dreams . brooke : how did you find out about that kiss with bill ? donna : i saw it . i may never unsee it . brooke : how is that even possible ? you said that you were n't down at the cabin that night . donna : no , i was n't , but somebody else was . there . there . that 's -- that 's how i saw it . brooke : no . oh , no . oh . we are the thrivers . sally : well , i guess congratulations are in order . you and wyatt are back together . or , i guess , never really were apart , so he explained to me . flo : look , i -- i just wanted to come here to talk to you woman to woman , leave all that other stuff behind . i ... i just want you to know that i fully support this time you 're spending with wyatt . and i am really glad that he 's here for you . sally : you 're so remarkable . really . i 've never met a woman like you . i mean , you 're so caring and so ... selfless , and ... [ exhales ] flo : sally ? are you okay ? sally : it 's fine . i just get dizzy spells sometimes . it happens . i -- i just need a second . flo : is there anything that i can get you ? or ... i 'm really sorry . sally : i see why wyatt cares about you . i do . you 're so amazing . this time with him means ... more than you could ever know . flo : well , i know how much he means to you , and we both do n't want you to be alone right now . wyatt : hey . sally : [ exhales ] wyatt : uh , clearly i 'm interrupting . is it safe to assume we all know the truth now ? bill : so , what do you say we grab a bite at il giardino ? katie : we have plans , remember ? brooke 's reunion with ridge . bill : maybe i 'll sit this one out and stay home with will and play video games . katie : no . no . you ca n't do that . bill : why ? katie : because it 's rude . and it means something that they asked you to be there . bill : yeah , i do n't think ridge was really part of that . katie : okay . maybe it was just brooke . but that 's important to her , and that makes it important to me because she 's supportive of our relationship . and you should be there when she asks you to be there . quinn : this is not the time for you to slink back to vegas . what are you afraid of , shauna ? all your dreams coming true ? shauna : no , that 's not it . then put a stop to it . ridge 's head is going to explode when he discovers that his precious logan has been playing kissy - face with his mortal enemy . i mean , she 's gon na be gone . and when she is gone , you 're gon na be there , waiting for ridge , to pick up all the pieces , and your whole life is going to change . all of our lives are going to change when we finally rid forrester world of brooke logan . [ sighs ] shauna , you ca n't leave . brooke : oh , my god . oh , my god . donna . no ! i ... how did that get there ? we got to delete it . donna : we do n't know how , remember ? otherwise , that stupid photo of mine would be gone by now . brooke : it ca n't be that hard . i mean , ridge ca n't see this . oh , my god . who put this here ? how did it get here ? living with opioid addiction can be a struggle . test test test test test test test brooke : if i have to break that damn thing , i will . donna , nobody can see this video . not ridge . not katie . nobody . donna : okay , it says right here that the only way -- brooke : hurry . please . ridge can walk in the door any moment . donna : okay . okay . i think i got it , but there 's -- there 's a catch . brooke : what ? donna : well , it says that you can reset the frame , but you 're gon na lose everything , not just the video . brooke : i do n't care . delete it all . donna : okay . brooke : [ sighs ] donna : oh , my god . it 's gone . it 's gone . [ exhales ] brooke : oh , my ... oh , my god . thank you . thank you for your help , but thank you for your understanding . donna : look , i know you would never intentionally hurt our sister . brooke : no . donna : you just got swept up in a moment with a guy that you used to love . it does n't have to mean anything . brooke : it doesn't . bill is committed to katie , and i am committed to ridge . i swear , donna . donna : i know . i know , okay ? i know . brooke : oh , god . thank you . [ sighs ] i still do n't understand . who could have recorded us ? it has to be somebody who hates me , who hates bill . donna : or ridge or katie . brooke : nobody hates katie . she would have been devastated if she saw that . donna : well , then where did the video come from ? brooke : i do n't know . i mean , ridge asked eric to upload pictures and videos . donna : oh , no . no , no , no . eric would never have anything to do with recording you and bill , no . brooke : but he is married to somebody that hates me with a passion . oh , my god . it was quinn . quinn took that video and she uploaded it on that frame . not a word to anybody . donna : no . i promise . where are you going ? you have a party . brooke : not a word , donna . wyatt : so , how 's it going ? sally : flo and i were just having a nice visit . wyatt : sally , you understand we care about you a lot , and we were just thinking about your best interests and ... sally : no , i know , and i 'm glad that everything is out in the open . and i was just telling flo how thankful i am that she 's sacrificing her own desires so that we can spend this time together . you know , i mean , i do n't know how much time i actually have left , but i 'd like to spend as much of it as i can with you . i know you said you wanted the same thing . wyatt : i do . [ cellphone rings ] um , should i ... i have to take this . um ... [ clears throat ] [ ringing ] i 'm just gon na be a minute . hey . [ door closes ] sally : i 'm aware that you could have a real problem with this . but you 've been so sweet . stepping aside and allowing me this ... precious time with wyatt . i 'll never be able to thank you enough . flo : look , i 've , um -- i 've been thinking about you a lot and your situation , and i really feel for you . i know you had a hard time in your life and your career , and you always act so tough . but i 'm sure that finding out that wyatt and i are back together was hard on you . and now you 're going through this . it 's just ... it 's all a lot . it 's a lot for one person to go through . i just want you to know that we will be here for you as your friends and as a support system for you for whatever time you have left . sally : thank you for this time . thank you . it 'll be just enough time to make wyatt mine again . [ door opens ] quinn : hi , honey . i -- oh . brooke . you must be here to talk to eric about the party -- this celebration that we 're having for you and ridge in honor of your love and devotion to each other . well , um , eric is n't here , and i 'm not buying it , so you can go . brooke : you and eric have overcome a lot of obstacles to be together . i would 've thought that you 'd be a little more sympathetic to ridge and me who have done the same . quinn : i 'm thrilled for you . ca n't you tell ? brooke : ridge and i are back together again , and nothing or no one is going to come between us . quinn : relationship goals . those are lofty ones . yes . but with your history , are they realistic ? brooke : what does that supposed to mean ? quinn : i know that it galls you that my portrait is above the fireplace where stephanie 's should be . you see yourself as her successor , as the forrester matriarch . and is n't that just because you 've slept with every man in the family ? brooke : oh , geez . quinn : and your daughter 's husband . and let 's not forget bill spencer . i mean ... ah . you . you are a piece of work . but i got to hand it to you , brooke . you know , i 'm really impressed that you were able to harness your raging libido long enough to stay faithful to ridge . how long do you think it 's going to be before you 're looking for another strong man to lean on , somebody who 's unavailable that you 're dying to kiss ? brooke : it was you , was n't it ? who else would be that sick and that twisted to pull it off ? besides , who wants ridge and me to break up so their best friend could swoop in and steal him away ? well , i 'm putting you on notice . not you , not shauna , not anyone . none of you can come between ridge and me ever again . not in this lifetime .	donna is very upset as brooke tries to explain why she and bill kissed . brooke tells her when and why it happened . donna is skeptical . brooke asks if she was there that night . donna says she was n't , but someone else was . when the video comes back up on the frame , donna points it out to brooke . then it 's brooke 's turn to get upset . she grabs the frame and tries to figure out how to get rid of the video . she wonders frantically who could have put it there . donna reads the instructions on her phone about how to get rid of the video . donna tells brooke that it will get rid of everything , but brooke does n't care . she 's just worried that ridge may return any moment . donna does something that gets rid of all of the photos and videos . they are relieved . brooke thanks her for her help and her understanding . they wonder again who could have loaded the video . brooke figures it must have quinn . she asks donna not to tell anyone and sticks the frame in a drawer . meanwhile , at home , quinn watches the video of bill and brooke making out ; she smiles and thinks back to shauna explaining how she saw them at the cottage and just started filming it . shauna arrives , saying she ca n't stop thinking about the video . shauna tells quinn that she 's made a decision . quinn thinks that she 's going to tell ridge about what brooke did , but shauna tells her that she 's going back to vegas . quinn begs her not to go . she thinks she should stay and be with ridge . later , brooke goes to have it out with quinn . they do their usually bickering , until brooke tells quinn that she knows she was the one that did it ( meaning , sent the video ) . she tells her that nothing will come between her and ridge .
nick : i 'll tell you what 's wrong -- ridge : no , you 're not going to tell me anything , nick ! i know exactly what 's going on here ! nick : you crossed the line taking this ring from her . ridge : you crossed the line giving it to her ! nick : i proposed to the mother of my child . ridge : who a little over a month ago was wearing my wedding band ! nick : well , she was n't wearing it when i proposed ! ridge : you 're just not seeing it , are you , nick , huh ? i ca n't really blame you though . it 's got ta put a bit of a pit in your stomach , knowing you 're proposing to a woman who 's in love with somebody else . massimo : all right , all right . that is enough . ridge : no , massimo . i want to know ! what the hell are you thinking , nick , huh ? do you really believe that brooke could be satisfied settling for you ? nick : i want what 's best for the future of my child . and brooke being with you is not the answer . brooke : oh . samantha : hey , brooke . i thought that was your car in the driveway . brooke : hi . samantha : is stephanie around ? brooke : no , she had to run out . she 'll be back soon . samantha : oh , okay . do you mind if we wait with you ? brooke : no . who 's this ? samantha : this is annie . i do n't know if you know , but pucci died . brooke : oh . no , i did n't know that . i 'm sorry . samantha : i was pretty devastated . but then today , thomas and caitlin came by with this little friend for me . brooke : he 's an amazing kid , is n't he ? samantha : oh , yeah . and i think he 's met his match in caitlin . brooke : caitlin ? samantha : she 's an intern over at forrester . she 's so sweet . brooke : you know her pretty well ? samantha : no . no , but she 's the kind of person that you 'd like to get to know better . jimmy : so you dove in and pulled her out of a fire ? hector : it 's my job , jimmy . jimmy : you say that like it 's nothing . hector : it 's what i was trained to do . look , if paul had seen her , he would have done the same thing . jimmy : but he didn't . that girl 's alive because of you . hector : her name is amber . jimmy : i 'll bet amber thinks you 're a real hero . i know i still do . i just have one question . hector : what 's that , little man ? jimmy : please tell me you 're not going to adopt her , too . because one big sister is all i can stand . hector : amber 's a grown woman . you are just a little guy . jimmy : good . hector : so where is your sister ? she did n't go back to forrester , did she ? jimmy : no . they went to give away one of the puppies . hector : they ? jimmy : yeah , one of her friends came over -- that new guy , thomas . thomas : thanks . here you go . caitlin : thank you . thomas : i propose a toast . caitlin : to what ? thomas : to samantha and annie . caitlin : okay . samantha did seem pretty happy , did n't she ? thomas : yeah . getting her a new puppy really cheered her up . caitlin : i know , and you know , at first , i thought it was n't really gon na work . because she got kind of emotional talking about pucci . thomas : you were great , all that stuff you said about not wanting to replace her dog . caitlin : well , pucci was like family . you ca n't replace family . but if you open your heart , you can always make room for one more . thomas : sounds like something your dad would say . caitlin : yeah . we talked about it a lot when he adopted jimmy . thomas : it 's like with my dad and brooke . nobody can ever replace our mom . but now , brooke 's a part of our family , too . at least , she used to be . caitlin : well , no one can replace her either , thomas . but that does n't mean that your dad wo n't find somebody else . hector : thomas was here ? jimmy : yeah . he stopped by while you were at the hospital . hector : what did he want ? jimmy : nothing . they were just hanging out . hector : with you ? jimmy : yeah . they were playing with the puppies in the living room . hector : good . jimmy : do n't worry about it . nobody 's making moves on my big sister while i 'm around . hector : you 're looking out for her ? jimmy : you bet i am . but i think she 's okay with thomas . hector : jimmy , good breeding does not always equal good manners , you know ? jimmy : he seemed like a nice guy . hector : well , your sister seems to think so . jimmy : yeah , he scored major points today . hector : how 's that ? jimmy : some lady he knows lost her dog , so they took a puppy over to his granddad 's to cheer her up . hector : they went to the forrester house ? jimmy : she lives in the guest house . she must be a relative or something . thomas : dad 's not really interested in meeting somebody else right now . caitlin : maybe he already has . thomas : you mean samantha ? caitlin : well , they grew up together . thomas : yeah ? caitlin : they have a history . thomas : okay , she had a crush on him when she was a kid . caitlin : so there 's nothing there ? thomas : my dad is still hoping things work out with brooke . caitlin : it seems like you are , too . thomas : i just want him to be happy . caitlin : but you would n't mind if he had a crush on samantha . thomas : i think samantha 's great , and phoebe and steffi do , too . caitlin : i 've only met her once , but from what you 've told me , she sounds like she 'd make a great mom . thomas : the girls are gon na need that . dad 's just not around as much as he wants to be . caitlin : he misses brooke . thomas : it 's all he can think about . caitlin : that 's sad . thomas : tell me about it . at least we could do something for sam . caitlin : you want to do something to help your dad out , too ? thomas : sure , but how ? i had an easier time talking to yours . caitlin : ouch . thomas : dad just does n't want to lay this on us -- you know , me and the girls . he 's trying to protect us . caitlin : my dad does that , too . thomas : who do they think they 're fooling ? we know when something 's wrong . samantha : brooke , are you okay ? brooke : i just have a lot on my mind . samantha : well , if you 'd rather be alone -- brooke : no . no , stay . i 'm driving myself crazy . samantha : do you wan na talk about it ? brooke : i should be thrilled . nick proposed . samantha : you 're engaged ? brooke : i have n't given him an answer yet . samantha : oh . brooke : i just want to make sure that this child has the best life possible . samantha : yeah , you owe it to that little one to make the right choice . brooke : i have to be sure . samantha : and you 're not ? brooke : nick is a wonderful man , and he really does love me . he 'd be a great father to hope and to this baby . samantha : but you 're still in love with ridge . does he know about the proposal ? and i guess i do n't have to ask you how he reacted . brooke : everything started falling apart the day that i read the paternity test results . i did n't want to admit it . but i kept trying to hold it together , and it just -- [ brooke sighs ] samantha : i 'm sorry . i mean , really , i am . i know how devoted you were to each other . brooke : he 's not ready to give up . samantha : does that surprise you ? brooke : no . samantha : it does n't make this decision any easier , does it ? ridge : brooke is never going to marry you , nick . if she wanted to be your wife , she would 've said yes , but she didn't . and you know what ? she 's never going to . fried . ridge : you 're living in a fantasy world , nick , if you think this is what brooke wants . nick : did she say that it was n't ? ridge : she did n't have to . nick : did you ask ? massimo : look , ridge , you ca n't see the way you 're acting -- ridge : what , you think i 'm irrational ? massimo : this is between your brother and brooke . ridge : there would n't be anything between them if he just respected my marriage ! brooke and i were on our honeymoon , massimo . we were happy . if he had n't flown down to puerto vista -- massimo : he flew down to help you . ridge : so what ? i 'm just supposed to stand by while he shanghai 's my life ? massimo : your marriage has been annulled , ridge , okay ? she is having a child with him . ridge : you 're taking his side ? massimo : no , i 'm not taking sides . i 'm trying to make you see reason . ridge : he has already ripped my marriage apart . do n't let him do the same to this family . massimo : you 're the one dividing this family , ridge . ridge , ridge , ridge , ridge -- i love you , ridge , and i can not stand to see you going through this kind of pain . but you 're only making it worse , harboring this hatred , lashing out at your brother . i ca n't let you do it ! ridge : what , so i 'm the bad guy here ? ! i 'm the problem ? ! everything was fine , massimo -- everybody was fine until nick and jackie showed up in l.a . massimo : look , do n't bring jacqueline into this , okay ? ridge : she never wanted me with brooke anyway . massimo : hey , i do n't care how upset you are ! jacqueline is my wife ! ridge : you 'd do anything to protect her , wo n't you , massimo , huh ? even lash out at your own family . let me ask you something . how would you react if somebody told you , `` forget about jackie . just forget about jackie and go love somebody else `` ? how would you react , huh ? massimo : your -- your first loyalty is always to blood . nothing is more important than family -- nothing . ridge : that 's where you and i differ . because nothing -- nothing will ever make me give up on brooke . brooke : i probably should n't be discussing this . samantha : i 'm not judging you , brooke . this is complicated . you 're trying to do the right thing . brooke : i thought i knew what that was . samantha : well , if you need anybody to talk to -- well , look . i know , that it 's no secret that i would n't be heartbroken if you and nick sailed off into the sunset together . but ridge would be . brooke : but i would n't have to worry , because you 'd be right there to help him , would n't you ? samantha : as his friend . if he needed me . brooke : i know how you feel about him , samantha . samantha : and i know how he feels about you . love like that does n't just disappear , brooke . it ca n't be replaced . it leaves a hole that might never be filled . caitlin : thanks for the coffee . thomas : thanks for going over to sam 's . caitlin : thanks for inviting me . thomas : we could keep this up all day . caitlin : i wish . thomas : so , um -- do you want to go over to my house ? caitlin : um -- my dad 's coming home soon . i probably shouldn't . thomas : right , um -- am i gon na to see you at work ? caitlin : probably not . thomas : your dad still has n't made up his mind ? caitlin : i 'm not holding my breath . thomas : but there 's still a chance ? maybe i got through to him . caitlin : it was sweet of you to try . thomas : yeah . that 's me . sweet . caitlin : yes , you are . thomas : thank your brother for the puppy . caitlin : i will . thomas : your dad would be proud of what you did for sam today . are you going to tell him about it ? caitlin : i think i 've kept enough secrets from him . thomas : you do n't think he 'll mind ? caitlin : well , why would he ? we did something nice for a family friend . thomas : a friend of my family . caitlin : hey . she 's my friend , too , now . thomas : and you think i 'm sweet . caitlin : i 'll call you tomorrow . thomas : not if i call you first . caitlin : probably not a good idea . thomas : i do n't wan na get you in trouble . caitlin : if i 'm grounded , i wo n't be able to see you at all . thomas : i could n't stand that . caitlin : my dad could show up any minute . thomas : you want me to go ? caitlin : no . thomas : me neither . caitlin : you should probably go . thomas : yeah . bye . caitlin : bye . brooke : you really should work on that pep talk . samantha : i 'm not telling you anything you do n't already know . brooke : exactly . i know what this is doing to ridge . and to his family . and i hate it . samantha : and you want to do something about it . brooke : yes . and i thought mae if i were to accept nick 's proposal , then we could all move on with our lives . but when i told ridge -- samantha : he was upset . brooke : i do n't want to hurt him anymore . i have to do something . i need to resolve this before my baby 's born . samantha : your child 's future is at stake . that 's the issue here . not ridge 's feelings or his family 's well - being . never forget that . brooke : i haven't . samantha : do n't let it overwhelm you . it may get tougher . but you just have to keep going . you just have to put one foot in front of the other . and you will get through it . brooke : sounds like you 're speaking from experience . samantha : every life has its challenges . and you 're facing a big one . brooke : i can handle it . but i do worry . because as hard as it is for me , it 's going to be so much worse for ridge . nick i did n't chart this course , forrester . i did n't set out to turn your life upside down . in fact , when we took that paternity test , i told you i wanted you to be the father . and i meant it from my heart . but it did n't work out that way . things changed , and not just for you . i 'm gon na be a father . and i have a responsibility to my child and his mother . ridge : oh , right -- right . this has nothing to do with your feelings for brooke -- you 're just doing your duty , hey , nick ? nick i 'm doing what best for my child . that 's what i 'm thinking about . that 's what we should all be thinking about here ! ridge : yeah , you 'd like that , would n't you ? massimo : you 're brother makes a point . all right , ridge ? we 're wasting time bickering about this . ridge : bickering ? nick : i know you 're hurting , forrester . i get it . i feel your pain , and i 'm sorry for the things that have happened . i ca n't fix that , though . i can only ask you to try to get past this . because this is gon na wind up hurting my kid , and i ca n't let that happen . i 'm trying to build a life for this boy -- a safe place for him . a home . a family . security . stability . all the things i did n't have when i grew up . now , you look me in the eye and you tell me what 's wrong with that . tell me , ridge . what 's wrong with me wanting to give my child the kind of life that you 've given yours ?	jackie eavesdropped on ridge and nick 's argument . ridge continued to rant and rave massimo tried to calm him down and to see reason . nick told ridge he only wanted to give his child security the kind he never had growing up .
brooke : ridge , you have to listen to me . ( sighs ) taylor is seducing rick . that is sick and deranged . i mean , can you imagine ? pretending to have feelings for my son just to get back at me . has she no shame ? ridge : logan , what you 're inferring here is kind of laughable . brooke : ridge , i know what i saw . they kissed . are you gon na help me do something about this or not ? ridge : like what ? what ? i mean , do -- look , i think the best thing we can do is just let it play out . brooke : ( sighs ) have you even thought what this is going to do to phoebe when she finds out about rick and her mother ? how can you possibly let this happen ? ridge : ( sighs ) logan , i -- okay , i 'll go talk to taylor . brooke : thank you . i 'd just hate to see rick mixed up in all of this . ridge : i 'll find out what 's going on here , all right ? ridge : i 'll see you later . brooke : okay .

( laughs ) taylor : i 'm serious . um ... no , i 'm -- i 'm thanking you for last night . you were -- you were really a gentleman . rick : well , i - i do have one regret about last night . um , just that i did n't stay the night , actually . but seriously , i , uh -- i meant everything that i said . you 're just so special to me , taylor . so i have an idea . um , uh , do you have any plans later ? can i -- can i come back and -- a little bit later on , maybe this evening ? taylor : um , i do n't -- i do n't think i have any plans , no . no . rick : well , i was gon na go to cafe russe and get some takeout -- your favorite , of course . and then i thought that i could bring it back here and we could light a fire in the fireplace , light some candles , listen to some music and then ... taylor : then ... then ... i 'm listening . rick : well , then hopefully , it will be a very memorable , unforgettable evening . [ scene_break ] pam : you fold in your 2 cups of flour . well , of course , the flour 's got ta be sifted . otherwise , it 's not gon na bake properly . then you mix all the ingredients together real good and -- oh , i got ta call you back , dottie . uh , head honcho 's here . eric , i was n't expecting you back at the office today . chocolate pecan fudge ? it 's yummy . eric : no , no thank you , pam . not right now . thank you . pam : somethin ' wrong ? eric : i want to talk to you about this incident with donna , this popgun thing that you pulled . pam : oh , eric , a girl 's got ta have a little fun , do n't you think ? eric : well , there 's nothing fun about that , all right ? i know what you 're doing . you 're trying to get under donna 's skin , and i want it to stop . now look , i 'm very glad to have you working here . you know that 's how i feel about i family , but i 'm not gon na let you if this continues . pam : you 're right . you 're right , eric . i 'm sorry . i should have known better . donna 's clearly not someone to joke with . kind of a shame that she 's so superficial , though . that girl has no sense of humor at all .

[ scene_break ] thomas : dad does n't have a solution to this . there is no solution . taylor : do n't underestimate your father . thomas : the fact is , i went after rick , not aunt pam . the only way for dad to protect me is by lying about that . all i wanted to do was rattle his cage , scare that son of a -- taylor : now would you please just let this go ? thomas : how can i let this go ? i played right into his hands , mom . he killed my sister , seduced my mother , then my other sister . and now because of me , he 's got dad lying to the cops . taylor : your dad has n't done anything like that . thomas : well , not yet , but what are his options ? how can he get aunt pam out of jail without implicating me ? you want to know the worst part ? one way or another , i know rick is gon na find out . if pam 's released , he 'll want answers , and it all leads to me . that guy wo n't be satisfied until he destroys us all . [ scene_break ] katie : why would ridge call off the surveillance car ? has he canceled any of the other security ? brooke : ( sighs ) he asked me to do that . katie : well , this can only mean one thing . he obviously knows who 's been threatening rick . brooke : i 've been thinking the same thing . katie : did you ask him ? brooke : ( sighs ) he said he would explain everything when he got back , and then he left . katie : where did he go ? brooke : i do n't know . ( sighs ) but i 'm worried about him , katie . it 's like he has the whole world on his shoulders . he knows something . i 'm almost afraid to find out what it is . [ scene_break ] stephanie : what did steffy have to say about all this ? ridge : she was absolutely furious at thomas . but you know , she stood by rick like they were married . stephanie : oh , god . ridge : that 's the way she was acting . i just thank god that she and thomas have been close all these years . stephanie : they 've reached some sort of an understanding ? ridge : well , she realizes that thomas just did this to try and protect her . but you know what ? she could n't wait to get back to rick . stephanie : well , she ca n't tell him about this . she 'll lose tom . she realizes that , does n't she ? ridge : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] rick : steffy , you know who 's been trying to kill me . who is it ? it 's your dad , is n't it ? steffy : rick . rick : no , it is . it 's your father . i knew it . you know , `` darth vader `` ca n't handle his daughter loving anybody but himself . it 's ridiculous . steffy : hey , it is n't my dad . rick : are you sure about that ? steffy : why are we talking when i 'd much rather be kissing ? rick : mm . steffy ... steffy : mm - hmm ? rick : what if an army of bikers gets off the p.c.h -- steffy : mm - hmm . rick : and busts through my window -- steffy : mm - hmm . rick : and starts beating me to death with clubs ? steffy : i would n't worry about that . rick : because you obviously know who 's been trying to kill me . steffy : ( laughs ) you do n't seem to care . rick : no , i do n't . you know why ? steffy : hmm ? rick : 'cause i changed the locks . steffy : mm - hmm . rick : and nobody 's gon na barge in -- . steffy : mm - hmm . rick : not stephanie -- ooh -- not daddy dearest . steffy : mm - hmm . rick : ( moans ) steffy : no more talking . rick : that 's the plan ? steffy : that 's an order . rick : okay . steffy : mm . rick : mm . mm .

( sighs ) ridge : ( sighs ) stephanie : ridge -- ( sets mug on table ) stephanie : i ca n't let my sister stay in jail . ridge : look , all the evidence against pam is circumstantial . there 's no eyewitness . there 's nothing actually directly tying her to the attack on rick . stephanie : well , no , there ca n't be , because she 's innocent , but it 's still a very strong circumstantial case . ridge : but anybody could have planted that evidence , though . look , i say we get pam a great lawyer , and maybe we can somehow persuade the d.a . to just to drop the charges . stephanie : and if that does n't work ? ridge : i do n't know . somehow , we 'll get pam out of jail . all i know is that no one can find out that thomas did this . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] katie : maybe you should just call ridge and find out where he is . brooke : i do n't know , katie . the mood he was in when he left here , it was like he was on a mission . katie : what could have happened in big bear ? brooke : something did , i know that much . katie : still , steffy 's home . ridge is n't freaking out . brooke : he promised me no harm would come to my son . katie : well , i think you have to trust him . brooke : i do . ( sighs ) i just -- i 'm trying to make sense of it all . katie : i just ca n't believe the way they kidnapped steffy . brooke : he 's paranoid about something happening to steffy . his scars for phoebe still run so deep . katie : listen , maybe i should n't say anything , but -- ( sighs ) brooke : what ? katie : you and ridge are gon na have to live with this tragedy . brooke : i know . ( sighs ) i 'm aware of that -- probably for the rest of our lives . katie : so do n't take this the wrong way , but rick is so involved in ridge 's tragedy . brooke : and that 's where love and forgiveness come in , and ridge and i have a lot of that . katie : well , it would be pretty amazing if ridge could forgive rick . brooke : what choice is there ? ridge and i have fought so long to have a life together . it 's what we both want so much . katie : i know , but -- ( sighs ) when there 's so much to forgive , it 's just hard , that 's all . brooke : ( sighs ) ridge is working on it every single day , coming to terms with my son . i really believe everything 's gon na work out . and -- ( sighs ) i will finally be relieved once they figure out who 's been threatening my son 's life . [ scene_break ] taylor : you still have n't let it go . thomas : what ? taylor : your anger . that is n't going to do you any good . holding all of these negative feelings in is what caused you to lose control . thomas : after everything that 's gone down , she is still with that fool . taylor : are you listening to me , thomas ? thomas : she still thinks she 's in love with him . he 's not in love with her . he 's just using her like he used phoebe and you . i 'll bet they 're together right now , alone in that beach house , and he 's -- taylor : thomas , stop . stop it . please , stop it . rick : you know you 're safe with me , right ? there 's nothing that we ca n't share , nothing that i ca n't deal with .

( sighs ) brooke : oh . ( laughs ) that 's great . you were here for two minutes . then you went running over to mom 's house . i 'm sure stephanie was thrilled about that . ridge : logan , there 's a lot going on . brooke : yes , i know . that 's what you implied . ( sighs ) and you said that you would explain it when you got back . ridge : and i will . brooke : so you know who 's been threatening rick 's life , and it 's not pam , right ? ridge : no , it 's not pam . brooke : his assailant 's been arrested ? ridge : no . brooke : ( scoffs ) i do n't get it . pam is innocent , but she 's still in jail , and the person that 's actually been trying to kill rick is out there somewhere at large ? how can rick be safe ? how can you even say that , ridge ? it just does n't make any sense . ridge : logan , the person who 's been after rick is someone we know , someone we love . it 's a member of our own family .

( normal voice ) hey , can you not talk about thomas like that really ? rick : okay , i 'm sorry . i did n't know it was such a sensitive subject . steffy : yeah , well , he 's my brother . he 's done some crazy things , but -- i love him . rick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : we will find a way to deal with this . thomas : how ? dad said that , too , but i do n't see it . taylor : i am your mother . you may be an adult , but you 'll always be my baby . thomas : ( sighs ) taylor : i will never let anything happen to you . thomas : well , you may not be able to protect me this time , and i do n't want you feeling like you 've failed . taylor : stop worrying about it , because your father and i are not going to fail . thomas : you 've always made things right for me , and that 's what makes this so difficult . no , i did n't intend to hurt rick , but i sure as heck did n't want to hurt you or dad . you know , this trouble i 'm in , before it 's over , i 'm afraid it 's gon na hurt the two of you real bad . and after everything you 've gone through with phoebe and steffy , i do n't want that . taylor : listen to me . listen . thomas : ( sighs ) taylor : there is absolutely nothing , nothing you could ever do that would change the fact that i love you . thomas : ( sighs ) taylor : you 're my number one man in my life , okay ? and i want you to remember , i am always here for you . [ scene_break ] ridge : logan , i want you to try and be objective about what i 'm about to tell you . you son has done a lot of bad things to people in our family , things that have made him a lot of enemies . brooke : still , it does n't justify threatening his life . ridge : no , it does n't . but people can be pushed to their limit . rick has definitely done that . brooke : now it sounds like you are justifying it . ridge : to be honest , brooke , rick was never really seriously in danger . brooke : how can you say that ? his house was set on fire , and his car was blown up . ridge : it was a small fire , and he was not really even close to the car when it exploded . brooke : yeah , thank god . that was fortunate . but i 'm sure it was n't the intention . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke , the person who did this never intended to hurt rick . he was just trying to send your son a message . brooke : a message ? if rick had fallen asleep that night , he would have burned to death . and the car bomb -- i will never believe that that was just a wake - up call . this person is evil , and they 're vicious , and they 're gon na pay for what they 've done . i 'm gon na see to that . ridge : look , if someone wanted to kill rick , he would be dead . he was n't exactly a moving target , brooke . brooke : oh , my god . now it sounds like you 're defending the assailant . how can you do this , ridge ? this is my son we 're talking about , a little boy that i loved and that i raised , and you 're acting like it 's no big deal . ridge : i completely understand . i have a son of my own . brooke : ( sighs ) ridge : taylor and i have a son . brooke : yes , i know you have a son thomas that you love very much , but we 're not talking about him right now . ridge : yes , we are . that 's exactly who we 're talking about -- thomas . brooke : what ? oh , my god . thomas ? ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : thomas is the one who was doing these things to rick ? brooke : thomas tried to kill my son ? hmm --	thomas tells taylor that he does n't like the circumstances . he should n't be letting pam rot in jail for something he has done . he is sure rick will eventually find out anyway and insist on more answers . taylor warns thomas not to brood and hold all his anger in . this is what caused all the problems in the first place . ridge tells stephanie that he knows it sounds crazy , but pam should probably be in jail anyway for all the things she has done in the past . he has thought about this and there is no other answer . he has to protect thomas and he will not let him confess and go to prison for the rest of his life . he will not let rick destroy his son too , the way he has done his daughters . stephanie insists pam is innocent and does n't deserve this . they can not rely on a good lawyer to get her off of these charges as ridge suggests . rick cozies to steffy and says he has noticed that her parent 's deprogramming did n't work . he keeps pestering her for details . all of them are convinced that it is not pam , but who ? after making love , he tells steffy there is nothing they ca n't share .

bill : katie , we 'll get past this . just tell me you 'll try and understand . katie : i just need more time so you can help me understand how you planned to kill someone . bill : i am asking you to see how i could be driven to it . my son was laying there in a coma , and i knew that , even if he woke up , amber could come after him again . the police were willing to do nothing . i had to save my son . katie : so you just decided to do away with amber . is that it ? bill : oh , katie , ca n't you see how i could be pushed that far ? i told you i was confronted with things i had never experienced , this -- this overwhelming paternal instinct to protect my son . katie , i did n't set out to plan it . once the idea occurred to me , i could n't get it out of my mind .

[ both laugh ] [ scene_break ] brooke : you just said what we did was n't wrong . bill : it was n't . brooke : so , what katie said -- ? bill : was n't wrong , either . brooke : bill ... bill : i wo n't say there 's nothing between us , brooke , because we both know it 's not true and so does katie . brooke : katie was just reacting to the situation , which she misunderstood . bill : did she ? brooke : you need to go talk to your wife . bill : you 're right . i do . brooke : wait . before you do , think about this . bill : it 's all i 've been thinking about , brooke . the way things have been lately -- with katie , with you -- sometimes i feel ... sometimes i feel like i married the wrong sister .	katie stands before bill and demands that he tell brooke that he wo n't stand for brooke to jeopardize their family for this . she says brooke needs to hear him say it . he tells her that he loves her , but he ca n't take the judgment . she needs to accept him flaws and all . this has to stop . he tells brooke that she does n't have to defend either herself or him . this is between him and his wife . he put up with it for the sake of katie having post partum depression but that is over and she is fine now . katie fires back that they need to hold themselves to a higher standard now for the sake of their son . bill says only if they can decide what that is , and he does n't agree that he has to do everything that she says . she huffs fine . she will go home and they will continue this discussion there when he decides to show up . dayzee surprises marcus by explaining to him that the man that maya is so into is rick forrester .
wyatt : look , you win . you always win , because you 're a forrester , and i never will be . you can quit , you can act a little crazy , you can do whatever the hell you damn well please , because that door will always be open for you , okay ? aly : well , i never stole a gazillion - dollar diamond . wyatt : uh , it was a $ 100 million diamond , and i get that i 'm on probation , and that means i have to be on my best behavior . but , to me , that also means that i have to look out for the best interest of this company , and that 's what this meeting is about . it 's for the company leaders , and , no offense , that does n't include you . aly : oh , well , then , in that case , i 'll just sit right here . wyatt : [ groans ] okay . [ chuckles ] wow . um , you do n't like me . i get that . i know that . but how important is that ? you -- you and i both care about hope . aly : you care about impressing hope so she 'll let you do things to her that you should n't . wyatt : oh , wow . okay . hope : i have to admit , i 'm a little nervous . aly : what is he making you do ? hope : hey . aly , hi . i , uh -- i thought that you decided you were gon na take a little break . aly : i did , but you need me more . hope : oh . [ scene_break ] donna : i keep wondering if i said the wrong things . brooke : you tried . katie 's just stubborn . donna : we 're all stubborn . [ chuckles ] it 's like our family coat of arms . [ door opens ] r.j. : hey , mom . hi , aunt donna . donna : hey , handsome . brooke : hi , honey . how was school ? r.j. : torture . can i play `` warlocks and martians `` to ease the pain ? brooke : of course you can , but first you 've got to do your homework . r.j. : please ? just for an hour ? dad always lets me . dad ? brooke : your father 's not here , honey . r.j. : why ? brooke : he 's probably still at work . r.j. : guess he 'll play with me when he gets home . [ scene_break ] pam : you 're not supposed to be here . liam : what ? why not ? pam : for wyatt 's meeting ? liam : i 'm not here for the meeting . do n't make me paranoid . pam : oh , liam , we all still love you . liam : thank you . pam : well , maybe that 's a little too strong a word . liam : okay , you 're doing it again . pam : no , generally , i 'm relieved when i see you coming , mostly because you 're not wyatt . liam : you know , that is my most notable accomplishment . pam : [ chuckles ] liam : so -- so hope 's in there ? pam : oh , yes . yes , yes , yes , in 3-d and 2-d. [ chuckles ] liam : all right . can i , uh -- can i stick around ? pam : they 're just getting started , but sure . liam : wait , did you say 2-d ? pam : yeah . what kind of a meeting calls for a giant cardboard cutout of hope with practically nothing on and a giant rack of lingerie ? liam : wait a minute . they 're redoing the bedroom line with hope ? [ scene_break ] wyatt : here is a list of the visuals for the presentation . eric : thank you , wyatt . wyatt : you know , i 'm gon na earn back that faith you had in me once . hope : [ sighs ] quinn : hey . i thought we agreed you would keep a low profile right now . wyatt : well , i decided to redeem myself instead . quinn : what is she doing here ? wyatt : oh , i suppose to become undone again before witnesses . [ clears throat ] can you -- please ? quinn : sure . wyatt : thank you . rick : all right . thank you . they just confirmed the jabot meeting for later today . yeah . now , are we waiting for ridge ? carter : oh , i thought he said he was n't coming . wyatt : that 's right . i - i got the impression that he was ... deferring authority to you , rick . rick : well , i guess there 's a first time for everything . wyatt : [ chuckles ] even though i told him that this was n't about hope for the future , or the `` youth line , `` as he calls it . rick : mm - hmm . caroline : then what is it about ? wyatt : [ clears throat ] allow me to present ... exhibit `` a. `` hope : [ chuckles ] quinn : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] r.j. : i 'm not mad , mom . but nobody says anything , so i asked . brooke : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , honey . look , i should have had this talk with you sooner , but i just was n't sure what to say . your father and i and you -- we all want the same thing , which is to be together , to live here in the same house , and ... well , unfortunately , it did n't turn out the way we hoped . r.j. : are you and dad fighting ? brooke : no , honey . r.j. : then everything 's okay , right ? brooke : [ sighs ] it 's just -- things turned out differently than we wanted . [ scene_break ] pam : i think he 's showing slides . liam : who , wyatt ? pam : this works much better with my stethoscope . but charlie borrowed it because he wanted to find out if his neighbors were stealing his cable tv . [ chuckles ] he figures if he hears british accents through his living - room wall , then he 'll know they 're listening to a premium channel , which they did not pay for . liam : uh , yeah , or pbs . pam : ohh , i better call . liam : wait , wait , wait , wait . before you get to charlie 's neighbors , how long has this plan of wyatt 's been in the works ? pam : uh , well , i think it 's probably new . your father , i know , tried to re- launch brooke 's bedroom , but that fizzled out . liam : yeah , well , so will this . i mean , all wyatt 's proving is that he does n't understand hope . she 's not gon na go for being a lingerie model . pam : i guess we 'll see . liam : [ chuckling ] pam , i know this . i know this . pam : yeah , but , liam , [ chuckles ] hope 's not the same girl with wyatt that she was with you . liam : yeah , but -- but she 's still the same person . pam : we were all raised to be `` good girls , `` until , at some point , we realized that the definition of good that we were taught has turned into this terrible straightjacket and we never let ourselves grow up because good girls do n't . they never stop being little angels . liam : i do n't -- i do n't know . i - i never would have pushed hope into this . pam : no , probably not . liam : what is it -- what is that ? what do you mean ? but what ? pam : what i mean is sometimes people need a little push to become who they really want to be . liam : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] wyatt : i 've done my research , and adjusting to today 's dollars , brooke 's bedroom was n't the most popular line , but it definitely was the most profitable that forrester has ever produced . rick : this is something we already know . wyatt : but how many of you looked into the full historical perspective ? forrester was a celebrated fashion house even before brooke 's bedroom , among the world 's elite . i mean , eric 's clientele was movie stars and aristocrats , but the seamstresses downstairs never even dreamed of being able to own a piece of that forrester label that they stitched into each and every gown until brooke 's bedroom . forrester was sexy and fun , and brooke was giving a knowing wink to the whole world , not just to millionaire 's wives , but to everyone . brooke 's bedroom broadcast that message that being sexy does n't have to be ... cheap . maya : that 's right . more and more women were plopping down cold , hard cash for what brooke was wearing , including me . wyatt : exactly . hope for the future is ready for that next leap . at its inception , the line had an earnestness and a sanctity that felt appropriate to young women , one of which was hope . and i think it 's time for the line to do the same -- to relax , to show a different side of its personality that does n't take itself so seriously -- to be frank and comfortable when it comes to sexuality . aly : no . wyatt : okay . eric : aly . we 're gon na let wyatt finish his presentation . [ scene_break ] brooke : i gave in . donna : about the video game ? brooke : why ca n't i ever make a decision and stick to it ? donna : it 's just a video game . brooke : i think i make these choices for the right reasons , and then all somebody has to do is have this hurt expression and bat their eyelashes and say `` please , `` and then , of course , i 'm giving in . that 's including r.j. and bill . donna : yeah , i - i do n't think you can just lump those relationships into the same category . brooke : well , yeah , i can -- [ sighs ] things i meant to say `` no `` to ... and said `` yes . `` donna : oh , uh ... that 's not ... water , you know ? brooke : oh , i know . i know what this is , donna . brooke : please do n't look at me that way . donna : it 's just not like you . it 's not even dark out . brooke : i 'm having a crisis , and it 's not about vodka . donna : then what is it about ? here i thought it was ridge , but now i 'm not so sure . brooke : some people just ca n't take `` yes `` for an answer . and i guess ridge is one of those people -- the love of my life . i 've said `` yes `` to him for a very long time . maybe he does n't like that . donna : you know , i just do n't like the way you sound . brooke : what way is that ? donna : i do n't know , just so cynical . come on , brooke . that 's not like you . you 're the one with the world - famous smile , the sass , the sex appeal . brooke : right . brooke 's bedroom or nothing at all -- that was our motto . who knew i 'd end up with the latter ? [ scene_break ] liam : so , aly took wyatt on , huh ? [ laughs ] good for her . pam : well , yes and no . you definitely have a friend in aly , but she can also be her own worst enemy . she can go too far . let 's just say i 'm familiar with the syndrome . liam : i mean , i - i heard that something happened with aly 's mom when she was younger . pam : yeah . i mean , i did n't know darla , but apparently , everybody adored her , even my sister . [ chuckles ] liam : well , what happened , exactly ? because nobody around here will tell me . pam : it was a hit and run . and the driver had been drinking , and it turns out it was a really close friend of the family , and especially to aly , so it must have been , like , a huge betrayal . i do n't think she 's ever gotten over it . liam : but the -- but the hit - and - run driver 's in prison right now , right ? pam : um ... i think maybe you should ask steffy that . [ scene_break ] wyatt : obviously , hope has a great body . it wo n't be news to anyone . um , but ... she has a very different quality than her mother . there 's something incorruptible about her . where brooke was teasing and seductive , hope just ... is . classy . she 's not seducing you . she 's meeting you as an equal . she has a very ... darla : a paper doll -- that 's all she is to him . aly , you have a responsibility to protect this family from shame . and , honey , i know that , one day , they will thank you . wyatt : ... and the identification will be the strongest if hope is the lead model . we could even call it `` hope 's bedroom . `` rick : uh , that 's a design decision , and , wyatt , you 're not a designer . wyatt : well , i 'd definitely leave that up to those who know . carter : so , where do you come in ? wyatt : well , i mean , it 's my idea . i 'd like some kind of creative control . and as for hope for the future -- i mean , we 're so identified with quinn artisan jewelers that we 'll be glamming her up in beautiful things that shine . aly : why is n't anyone asking if this is what hope wants ? wyatt : uh , i believe it goes without saying that i would n't be pitching this idea if i -- aly : i was n't talking to you . wyatt : [ sighs ] aly : is it , hope ? are you really okay with undressing for the world to see ? hope : yes . i told wyatt i would . aly : wyatt 's not asking . someone who 's known you her entire life is asking . you ca n't honestly be considering this . [ scene_break ] donna : if you 're worried that r.j. 's heartbroken , i do n't think he is . he seems like a pretty happy kid . brooke : [ sighs ] hope was the same way . they had to act happy or else they 'd upset mommy , and that they hate . [ sighs ] i 'm having a bad day . have you ever had a bad day ? donna : [ chuckles ] you kidding ? the question is what can you do to change it ? brooke : yeah , well , the world 's gon na probably keep going round and round . donna : there 's gon na be something to look forward to . brooke : [ sighs ] donna : come on . you 've got to have something to look forward to . brooke : hmm . well , i 've always wanted to be a mother . i 've wanted to be a wife . i wanted to be a successful businesswoman . i wanted to be indecent , just a little bit . [ chuckles ] i 've done all of those things . and i guess you ca n't really be successful forever , right ? it 's just ... donna : it 's just what ? brooke : i just wish i did n't have this terrible ache . donna : it 's hard to be alone . brooke : no , it 's not that . it 's not being alone . i 've done that before . people turn their backs on you , and ... they 're upset with you for one reason or the other . that 's okay . but this time , it 's different . it 's just ... i do n't even want to be with me . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] pam : it got quiet . liam : maybe wyatt was so magnetic he put everyone to sleep . pam : i really need one stethoscope for work and another one for home . liam : i 'm telling you , there 's no way hope is gon na buy what he 's selling . pam : but is n't that kind of what romance is -- a man keeps telling a woman she 's beautiful until she takes her clothes off ? liam : okay , two things -- one , whatever it is wyatt and hope have , it ai n't romance . two , hope is not gon na let wyatt turn her into some racy reality star all over the internet . i mean , she might say `` yes . `` she might think it sounds kind of fun to do brooke 's bedroom the sequel , but when it comes right down to it , she wo n't do it . she 's gon na balk . i know her . [ scene_break ] aly : how did you tell me you used to feel when you saw your mother undressed on billboards and magazine covers ? hope : i know what i said . aly : ashamed . rick : it 's perfectly natural . kids are embarrassed by things their parents do all the time . aly : there has never been one moment i was n't proud of mine . rick : [ chuckles ] caroline : i mean , hope , do you have some reservations ? wyatt : she does n't . maya : i do n't think you should answer for her . aly : thank you . quinn : can anyone honestly believe that wyatt would be making this proposal without consulting hope first ? hope : which he did . he did . and if you 're wondering if i have reservations , if you think i should have reservations about this , then , i mean , you 're right . i do . this is new for me . i 've never done anything like this before . aly : and you do n't have to . eric : aly 's right about that . hope : but i also think that wyatt is right . i think that hope 's bedroom could be really great for the company . i think it could be great for my line . it could be great for me ... if i pull it off . aly : would liam ask you to do something like this ? quinn : you know what ? you are way out of line , young lady . am i the only one who thinks so ? rick : aly , please -- aly : you may not be a forrester , but you are one of us . and taking our clothes off for money is not something we do . you know grandmother would n't stand for this . rick : contrary to popular belief , stephanie did n't always get her way . wyatt : is this a business meeting or a revival meeting ? aly : do n't say `` yes `` just to make him happy . it 's not you , hope . hope : but maybe it could be . you do n't know if you can do something until you try . aly : there are some things a person just knows -- good from bad , right from wrong . it did n't used to be so hard for you to know the difference . do n't cheapen yourself for him . i 'm begging you , hope . do n't do this . wyatt : this company ca n't be run by a teenager . i mean , come on . she 's supposed to be a shadow . she 's supposed to be silent . i 'm sorry . i ca n't . this is a very serious business decision , and , eric , rick , somebody 's got to say something . i respectfully ask that aly be removed from this meeting . leave , aly . right now .	wyatt tries to dissuade aly from staying for his meeting but she plops herself down anyway . liam shows up and pam tells him something is going on behind those closed doors . she 's seen a very large close up cardboard model of hope with practically nothing on . liam is n't worried . he knows hope is not the kind of girl to be a lingerie model . when it comes right down to it , she will balk . he knows her ! and if wyatt thinks so , then he does n't know her at all . pam is n't so sure . even good girls want to break out of the mold and not always remain angels . pam fills liam in on aly 's mental problems .. the fact that her mom , darla , was so adored and killed by a car driven by a family friend while drinking . she does n't think aly ever got over it . but he will have to get steffy to tell him more . wyatt makes his presentation and aly just glares and twists the paper in her hands several minutes before saying no . eric tells her to please let wyatt finish his presentation . aly addresses hope and says she really can not be seriously considering this . hope says she has had some reservations but yes she is considering it . she thinks it will be great for the company , her line and even for her .
ridge : you 're mistaken . dr. wolin : i ran the test myself . your sperm count is zero . ridge : it was zero , and that changed . lucky . dr. wolin : say what you 'd like to the press , but i know the truth . that child is n't yours . caroline : an hour away from you feels like a lifetime . [ gasps ] were you a good boy for the nanny ? yes . yes , you were , 'cause you 're always a good boy . thomas : nanny ? caroline : hey . thomas : you guys go out or something ? caroline : yeah . your dad talked me into lunch . thomas : oh , well , next time , skip the nanny , hire me instead . i would gladly drop anything to hang out with this little guy , would n't i ? show him the ropes of being a big , ol ' forrester . caroline : shh . [ baby fusses ] caroline : yeah . wyatt : you think you 're gon na be able to sneak off early ? steffy : probably . i just have to wrap up a few things here . wyatt : okay . well , is there anything i can do to help you ? steffy : yeah . uh , call your mom and tell her to be more like you . the woman is three days late on her inventory report . wyatt : [ chuckles ] you know my mom . she always worked to her own timetable . steffy : yeah , it 's clear she depended on you . and now that you 're at spencer , i hope she can step it up . wyatt : well , if you do end up having to fire her , uh , it might be best to if -- if you do it after our wedding . [ chuckles ] liam : what 's wrong ? quinn : just ... wondering how to tell you ... liam : you can tell me anything . quinn : i need a change . liam : in our relationship ? quinn : no . no . we -- i - i mean , we -- we need to -- we need to change . i want to move . liam : did n't we just move here ? quinn : i - i mean , i ... i need to get out of l.a . liam : but [ laughs ] what ? but what about your job ? quinn : i 'll take a leave of absence . we have been cooped up in this cabin , w - w - which has been good for a while , right , because -- because you were recovering . but you 're so much better now . e - except for your memory , which is the point , right ? because i want to fill that handsome head of yours with -- with a whole bunch of new memories . so i was thinking we could travel , you know ? we could just see where the road takes us . adam and eve conquer the world . what do you say ? [ beeping ] charlie : what is this ? steffy : your mom 's a brilliant designer . i just need that brilliance to seep into other areas of work , like getting back at e - mails and phone calls . you 're gone , ivy 's gone . quinn 's the only one managing the jewelry line . wyatt : i know . [ cell phone vibrates ] steffy : oh , wait . carter needs me to meet him and sign something . wyatt : all right . steffy : okay , i 'll meet you back at home ? wyatt : make it quick . steffy : i 'll try . wyatt : okay . steffy : bye . [ door closes ] holly : sean 's concerned we wo n't have enough prep time for the shoot . wyatt : i know , and i promise i will get you those pieces as soon as they 're done . holly : well , he keeps saying he wants access to the collection . wyatt : he will , holly . i got you . holly : okay . wyatt : all right . holly : thank you , wyatt . wyatt : thank you . [ cell phone beeps ] wyatt : huh ? okay . charlie : wyatt , i heard you were in the building . come here . wyatt : ah , i - it 's okay , charlie . i know i work at spencer , but i promise you , i 'm still allowed in the building . charlie : no , no . this is n't a security issue . well , maybe it is . uh , that 's what i wanted to talk to you about . um , i need to show you something . wyatt : show me something . charlie : footage ... of your mom and liam . dr. wolin : it 's nothing to be embarrassed about . ridge : thank you . dr. wolin : a lot of couples use a donor when they 're -- ridge : we did n't use a donor . that child is mine . dr. wolin : it 's impossible . i 'm telling you right now that you -- [ scoffs ] [ chuckles ] okay . well , then you might want to ask for a paternity test . hate to break it to you , but that young wife of yours is keeping a secret . thomas : could he be any cuter ? caroline : oh , that is doubtful . thomas : ah . yeah . wait , is it too early to get him modeling at forrester , or is that , you know ... caroline : you do n't think that your dad would , like , push him towards design ? thomas : the great thing about dad right now is that he wo n't push him to do anything . he 'll just let him do what he loves . what ? caroline : uh , you just gave your dad a compliment . thomas : look , everybody thinks that dad 's this controlling , demanding guy running around barking orders the whole time . i 'm obviously guilty of thinking that myself . i do n't know . maybe douglas is reminding me of all the positive things . you know , uh , he 's not the secretive , demanding guy i 've accused him of being . far from it . quinn : thank you for seeing me . eric : of course . sounded serious on the phone . what is it ? quinn : i need to ask for a leave of absence . eric : what ? for how long ? quinn : i do n't know . indefinitely , maybe . i 'm leaving los angeles , and ... i do n't know when i 'll be back . wyatt : look , what are you talking about , my mother and liam ? charlie : watch . just watch . [ beeping ] wyatt : what is this ? security footage of the -- the parking lot ? charlie : yeah , yeah . somebody banged into rick 's car he wants me to find the culprit . wyatt : okay , first off , those lanes are super narrow . charlie : yeah , just -- just -- just -- just look at it . thomas : you know , it seems so strange at first , dad having another kid . now douglas is here , and i can see the effect he 's having on him , his effect on me . it 's helping me see dad in a new light . an old light , really . reminding me of ... the man that he is , the father that he is . i will always be thankful that you had this baby . ridge : you have no idea what you 're talking about . dr. wolin : no husband wants to hear this , i know . but the science speaks for itself . once a man has had a vasectomy -- ridge : reversed . i had it reversed . dr. wolin : pointless because you had no viable sperm . ridge : no , what i had was a second opinion from someone who actually knows what they 're talking about . now i have a beautiful boy with my beautiful wife . and for you to suggest anything else is starting to really upset me . do n't say it again . not to me , not to anybody else . do you we understand each other ? good . wyatt : okay . odd . charlie : did your mother tell you about this ? wyatt : nope . she sure did n't , charlie . she 's going to . eric : leaving los angeles ? something wrong ? quinn : no , no . i just -- i just want to get away for a while . eric : with this man in your life ? i 've heard rumors . it 's not deacon again , is it ? quinn : no . no , it 's -- deacon 's gone . i do n't think i 'll be seeing him again . [ sighs ] i - i can work remotely if you need me to , but it would be so much better for me if i could just focus on this new relationship . eric : [ sighs ] well , i hate to lose you , even just temporarily . but , uh , i wo n't stand in your way . i 'll let ridge know . quinn : thank you . i need this so much right now . eric : all right . liam : [ sighs ] how can i not remember this ? it 's my own damn wedding . quinn : hey , sweetie . wyatt : hi . quinn : hi . how is the new job going ? i bet your dad is so happy to have you by his side . wyatt : where is he ? quinn : uh , bill ? mm ... uh , hmm . i have absolutely no idea . so , hmm . wyatt : not dad . quinn : who ? wyatt : you know who . and from what i now know , you were probably the last one to see him . quinn : uh ... wyatt : where 's liam ? quinn : the last one to see liam ? that 's what you mean ? me ? i mean , you 're asking me ? because i - i do n't think liam would be asking me for a ride to the airport . wyatt : there 's footage , mom . quinn : of ? wyatt : you and liam . quinn : what do you mean `` footage ? `` wyatt : from the forrester security cameras . charlie just showed me . you and liam were in the parking lot when he fell . quinn : i - i -- i did n't push him . wyatt : i did n't say you did . quinn : well , your tone is just a little bit accusatory . wyatt : because i 'm worried , mom . the date on the footage is the same day that liam disappeared . quinn : he did n't disappear . [ chuckles nervously ] he -- he , uh ... he went on an extended spa . wyatt : it 's the same day that steffy was waiting at home for him so they could work things out , but he never showed up . why ? what did you do to liam ? caroline : hey . i thought you were going into work . ridge : yeah , well , i just wanted to check on our little boy before i went . caroline : he 's sleeping . ridge : mm - hmm . thomas : like a baby . ridge : that 's funny . why are n't you at work ? i thought you were gon na finish those sketches i was gon na approve or not approve . thomas : totally understood . back to work . ridge : thank you . caroline : what 's wrong ? ridge : nothing . caroline : are you sure ? something happen at il giardino when i left ? quinn : i - i did n't do anything to liam . wyatt : i saw you get in his car . quinn : yes , yes , yes . yes , i - i did . i did . i got in his car to -- to drive him to the hospital . wyatt : okay . quinn : uh , but what you did n't see , you could n't see -- there 's no cameras -- is that -- is that , um , he -- he came to , right , as i 'm driving . and thank god he came to . and he said , `` hey , where are you taking me ? `` and i said , `` well , i 'm taking you to the hospital . `` and he says , `` no . `` and he was adamant , right ? he did not want to go to the hospital . he said , `` i - i - i - i do n't want a doctor . i - i - i want to get out of town . and all i need -- all i need is -- is yoga . `` wyatt : yoga ? quinn : yeah . yeah . he wanted to , like , i do n't know -- he wanted to go to some -- some retreat or some -- i do n't know . wyatt : so , what ? okay . so , he just -- he drove himself ? quinn : yes , like nothing ever happened . apparently he can rescue himself as well as he can rescue other people . wyatt : you did n't think to mention this , like , a while ago ? quinn : why ? i mean -- i mean , everybody knew that he left town . wyatt : no -- mention that he collapsed . that the whole reason why maybe he 's been gone is that he 's in a hospital somewhere or worse ! quinn : well -- well , why are you so concerned anyway ? wyatt : are you -- 'cause he 's my brother ! quinn : you need to start taking care of -- of steffy . okay , you -- you need to start planning your wedding ! you know , what are you gon na wait for ? you gon na wait for -- for -- for liam to be like , `` oh , i 'm done with yoga now and i 'm ready to come back , `` and he comes back and he says , you know , `` oh , steffy , oh , i 'm -- i 'm ready to start treating you the way you deserve to be treated . `` wyatt : i do n't care , mom . i do n't care . 'cause she 'll just slam the door in his face . quinn : yeah , but would n't it be so much better for her to -- to -- to slam the door as mrs. wyatt spencer ? i mean , come on ! you know , make it official . you got to -- you got to marry the girl . charlie : liam 's fine ? wyatt : according to my mom , yes . charlie : but this footage -- wyatt : does n't show us everything , charlie . i know . i thought it looked suspicious , too . but my mom swears he woke up when she was trying to take him to the hospital and then he insisted he was fine . charlie : yeah , well , i 'm still talking to quinn . i mean , she should have filed an incident report . you know , the company handbook , which i wrote , clearly states -- wyatt : let it go , charlie . please . and do n't tell anyone else about this . my mom 's had a hard enough time trying to fit in around here . there 's no reason to go on a witch hunt when all she was trying to do was help the guy . caroline : something happen at the restaurant ? ridge : their prices keep going up , but i can probably write all that off . caroline : you sure ? ridge : yeah . what are you doing ? hi . i 'm gon na grab you like this . hi . did you get prettier ? caroline : yes . [ chuckles ] ridge : you know what it is ? walking in here and seeing you and thomas ... when you get together , it 's just , um ... i do n't know . i just want to protect you and protect him . caroline : hey , listen . he 'll never know . ridge : no one will ever know . [ sea gulls cawing ] wyatt : got your text . steffy : glad you could join me . wyatt : anytime , anywhere . steffy : [ laughs ] wyatt : especially right here , where i proposed . steffy : no wonder why i stopped here . this is our special spot . wyatt : yeah . steffy , i do n't want to wait . the planning and booking and -- and seating charts . who needs it ? like , why not avoid all those things that make weddings complicated ? let 's just do it . steffy : you want to elope ? wyatt : yeah ! well , except for the running away part , but yeah . [ both laugh ] wyatt : i want to marry you right here -- the place where i told you i wanted to spend the rest of my life with you . i love you , steffy . and i 'm ready to commit the rest of my life to you right here on our special spot on the beach . steffy : okay , so -- so when do you want to do this ? wyatt : i want to marry you as soon as possible . right away .	eve tells adam again that she wants to move out of l.a. they have been cooped up too long and she wants to see the world . he questions it but she says she can afford to take a leave of absence from her job so there is nothing stopping them . he is better now except for his memory loss . the doctor tells ridge again that he ca n't possibly be the father of his baby . maybe he would be advised to have a paternity test . ridge says he is wrong . he had a second opinion and now he has a beautiful baby boy , discussion closed . at home alone thomas pops in on caroline and baby douglas . he tells her that he sees another side of his father now . he is not the secretive , controlling guy that he used to be . because of douglas he is seeing his dad in a whole different light .
brooke : what do you think you 're doing , taylor ? taylor : what are you talking about ? brooke : i saw you ! i saw you plant a kiss on ridge ! taylor : oh , my gosh . what were you doing , spying on me ? brooke : this is my home . how dare you come in here and make moves on my husband ? taylor : oh , i did no such thing . brooke : you did it , and you know it . you 're just embarrassed that you got caught . and you should be . wyatt : it 's crazy that she 's just gone . liam : caroline especially . you know , she 's -- uh ... she was the kind of person you assume is gon na live forever . she was larger - than - life . wyatt : yeah . the fact that it happened so suddenly ... liam : apparently that 's -- that 's how blood clots are . wyatt : hmm . liam : it does n't sound like there was anything anybody could have done about it . wyatt : yeah . and , uh ... you know about that more than anyone . look , i 'm sorry if this is bringing up a lot of stuff for you . liam : oh , i 'm just worried about thomas and douglas . wyatt : me too . it 's another loss in the family . but just ... [ sighs ] as if you and hope have n't gone through enough already . liam : we 'll be all right . we 'll be all right . hope will ... find a way through it . thomas : i can see him running around out there . it 's good for him to be outside , get some fresh air . hope : it 's cute that he wants to find you some pinecones . thomas : heh . yeah . he used to do that with his mom in central park . hope : caroline was such a good mother to him . thomas : i do n't know what douglas is gon na do without her . hope : well , he 's got you , thomas . he 's got all of us . thomas : thank you , hope . thanks for being there for my son . wyatt : but , still , man , this -- it 's got to be a tough reminder of your own loss . liam : hits a little close to home . feels like those first days after we lost beth , you know . wyatt : yeah , that was a rough day . i could just see how much pain you were in . if i could have traded places with you , dude , i would have . liam : i know you would have . that 's the kind of brother you are . a pain the ass . wyatt : well , obviously . liam : [ chuckles ] but you got a good heart , bro . wyatt : man . i mean , going through stuff like this is hard enough , but when it comes one after the other ... liam : yeah , it keeps re - opening the wound . it 's ... it brings up a lot of emotions . but ... what can you do about that ? thomas : i want to hear how you 're doing . i feel terrible about you and liam 's loss . hope : thanks . i got your messages , and -- and caroline reached out a few times , too . i just -- i wish i had been better about getting back to her . thomas : she understood . we just wanted you to know we were thinking about you . hope : well , liam and i appreciated your support . thomas : yeah , even though i 'm dealing with my own stuff , uh ... just know that i - i 'm here for you and liam . hope : [ sighs ] i mean , it 's nice having you back in town , but i just -- i wish it were under better circumstances . thomas : me too . you okay ? hope : um ... honestly ? not really . it 's ... it 's been hard . thomas : [ exhales softly ] hope , i 'm sorry . hope : takes time to heal . and , unfortunately , that 's something you and douglas are gon na have to go through now , too . i lost my child , and you lost the mother of your child . brooke : i really ca n't believe you , taylor . disrespecting me and my marriage in my own home ! taylor : oh , stop being so dramatic . ridge and i have children together . we were married . brooke : please do n't remind me . and that was a very long time ago . taylor : look , our family just suffered a terrible loss , all right ? i was just sharing my sadness with ridge . brooke : really ? is that all it was ? because i remember you saying something like you miss him , and you 're still very much in love with him . liam : well , i 'm glad you and sally are doing this . i think she deserves a shot at making it as a real designer . wyatt : we 're happy . i mean , we 're hoping to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later , but ... [ clears throat ] um , we got a bunch of free weekends coming up if you and hope want to come down to the beach . liam : um ... yeah , that -- that sounds really fun . um ... maybe ... in , like , a few months , though ? wyatt : hope feeling any better ? liam : i - in some ways , yes . the -- the cloud is lifting a little . wyatt : that 's good . liam : yeah . wyatt : i 'm sure the road is long . liam : oh , man , you have no idea . and i 've been reading about what mothers go through when they -- when they lose a child the way that hope did , and , um ... i think that i - it would be incomprehensible for you or me . uh ... a part of hope left with beth that night . and now it 's just about adjusting to the new normal . wyatt : liam , listen . this is one of those situations where you just -- you just have to go through it . you know , there is no right or wrong in how to deal with it . everybody 's got a different process . liam : yeah . well , for hope , that 's phoebe . just , like , spending time with her , holding her . it 's -- it 's -- it 's ... it 's comforting . wyatt : yeah . that makes sense . liam : see , that 's the thing . i mean , hope has such strong maternal instincts , even if she says she 's too heartbroken to have another child . thomas : caroline 's memorial was kind of a blur to me . hope : well , i mean , you 're still in shock . you 've only just begun to grieve . thomas : it was sweet sally was there . part of me wants to reach out to her , but i know she 's moved on with wyatt . um , that probably seems like too soon , i 'm sure . um ... there 's something that not a lot of you living in l.a. know about our time there . um ... we weren't ... together . hope : but i thought that 's why you broke it off with sally -- to be with caroline . thomas : it was . but it -- it -- it never happened . it was too tough trying to get back what we had . but , heh , it actually worked out really well , 'cause we realized we were amazing co - parents . we just had n't been romantically involved in a long time . hope : wow . i had -- i had no idea . thomas : she was one of my closest friends . she was the mother of my child . we just realized that we were better as friends . and i was so focused on douglas , and so was she . um ... but ... now she 's gone . douglas ... has no mom , and i 'm a single father . taylor : of course i will always love ridge . we were together for years . i 'm sorry if that makes you feel threatened . brooke : i do n't feel threatened . i 'm very secure in my marriage . taylor : good grief . this battle was over decades ago . at least be gracious in your victory . brooke : is that what you think this is all along ? just a game ? taylor : you think that i think this has all been a game ? letting you wreck my life , take my husband from me ? no , you -- you are the game player who came traipsing in in your lingerie , seducing my husband at work every day . brooke : oh , my god . taylor : i mean , really , who puts a bed in their office ? brooke : all right . all right ! that 's it ! i want you to leave . taylor : fine ! but i will be back . i 'm coming back whenever i want , because i 'm going to be visiting thomas and my grandson . ridge invited them to stay here . brooke : they are more than welcome to stay , taylor . taylor : but i 'm not ? what is wrong with you ? my grandson just lost his mother ! brooke : and i told you , i 'm very sorry about that . taylor : let 's just call a truce , all right , and stop all of this . hope is trying to bring peace . i - i know all about her taking off her wedding band , brooke . brooke : hope was vulnerable . she was n't thinking clearly . taylor : no , that 's -- that 's where you 're wrong . hope is the only one thinking clearly . brooke : oh , my god . what -- what is this all about ? wait . i know . it goes back to steffy and liam . our grandparents checked their smartphones wyatt : look , hope needs patience right now . so you got to -- you got to give her some room . liam : yeah , i - i 'm trying not to put any pressure on her . you know , to -- to let her guide the process . wyatt : that 's all you can do . liam : i just ... wish hope could see the woman that i see . but it 's like she 's lost confidence in herself -- in her ability to be a mother , in her ability to protect her child . wyatt : right . she 's gon na be an awesome mom someday . liam : yeah . wyatt : and i -- i hope it happens for you . i really do . liam : but hope 's not ready yet . i mean , she -- she 's still afraid she 's gon na lose another child . wyatt : and that 's understandable . think about how hard it is to , like , have faith in anything when you go through such a deep loss . but hope 's a fighter . she 'll get stronger . she 'll -- she 'll get through this . she 'll -- she 'll believe in herself more . someday , she 'll want to have a family again . she will , liam . just give it time . thomas : i was n't prepared to lose her . i mean , nothing can prepare you . i ca n't believe i 'm in this position . how could douglas lose his mother at such a young age ? hope : well , that has to be the hardest part as a parent . knowing that your child does n't have his mom anymore . thomas : he loves her . you know , she was his hero . he 's gon na miss her so much . hope : yeah , but you 'll keep her memory alive . you know , you 'll -- you 'll talk about her and show him photos and videos . thomas : it 's not the same . hope : i know . i wish i could tell you that it gets easier . but i 'm kind of still waiting for that to happen for myself . but , you know , you just -- you have to rely on your family , thomas . you have to rely on people who care about you . douglas : mom ! mommy ! i saw mommy ! brooke : you are obsessed . steffy and liam have been broken up for a very long time now , and they 've moved past this . the only person who has n't is you . taylor : no , no , no , no . no . steffy and liam would still be married if bill had n't interfered . brooke : well , then , talk to bill . i had nothing to do with that . but somehow you 're always trying to blame me for everything that does n't go right in your life . taylor : no . this is n't about me . it 's about my daughter . brooke : oh , taylor , it 's -- taylor : and my granddaughters . brooke : ... always about you ! i do n't want to have this discussion again . taylor : steffy is practically raising those little girls all by herself . brooke : that 's great , is n't it ? that 's just wonderful . i mean , that 's a choice that she made . that was her decision . and you know what ? she is lucky . she is so lucky to have two healthy , beautiful babies . while my daughter is suffering the loss of her own . she is struggling with liam . they 're both grieving for their child . so leave them be , taylor . let them alone , please . taylor : even hope says that she wants liam to go back to steffy . brooke : hope was in a vulnerable place ! she 's in a very dark space . and you of all people -- i thought that you would have empathy for her , but you don't . you 're just trying to take away every little bit of happiness that she may have left . do n't you dare do it . if you try to manipulate liam to go back to steffy , it 's not gon na happen . even if hope and liam do n't have a child , he is not going to leave her , taylor . so get that through your thick skull ! do you hear me ? it is not going to happen . i switched to miralax for my constipation . douglas : i saw her . thomas : you saw your mom ? douglas : yes ! outside by the birdhouse . thomas : okay . i - i wish that she was still here with us -- douglas : she is ! i saw her ! hope : um ... hey , douglas , you know , when we lose someone who loved us so , so much , we always keep them in our hearts . and sometimes when we miss them and we want to see them again , our memories bring them back to help us see them . douglas : so my mommy was n't really there , then ? hope : no , sweetie . douglas : where 's mommy ? where is she ? thomas : she -- she 's -- she 's not here , buddy . she 's up in heaven , remember ? douglas : i ca n't hug her again ? hope : i 'm afraid not , sweetheart . you know , but you will always feel her love for you . and she will always feel yours . douglas : can you be my mommy ? brooke : hope and liam are married . they 're building a life together . now , steffy made some questionable choices , so she is dealing with the consequences . taylor : [ scoffs ] oh ! spare me the sanctimony . brooke : god , you are so transparent , taylor . it 's obvious you want liam in that home . taylor : of course i do . he needs more time with his daughters . brooke : he has one daughter . he 's not phoebe 's father . taylor : phoebe needs a father , too . even hope can see that that is the right decision . she is the only one thinking straight ! brooke : oh , my god . so , what do you want her to do ? you want her to walk away from her marriage ? you want her to just throw away her husband ? taylor : she can find someone else . brooke : god ! how dare you ? ! you are being ridiculous ! taylor : no . i am trying to stand up for my grandchildren . for once , ca n't you just respect my family ? brooke : respect your family ? yeah , taylor . i can do that . can you respect my family ? can you respect me ? my marriage ? the man that you were kissing in my living room ? where 's the respect in that ? you say you want to have a truce , but how can we do that when you are making out with my husband , and you are trying to break up my daughter 's marriage ? we are parents . we are mothers . we want what 's best for our children . but facts are facts . steffy and liam are n't together anymore . and that 's not hope 's fault . that is because of steffy . because she turned to bill . her father - in - law . the worst possible betrayal . sure , you can blame bill all you want . but steffy said that she was a willing participant . taylor : [ scoffs ] brooke : and she hurt liam . she destroyed that trust . and what did my daughter do ? did she swoop in ? no , she didn't . she was there to help them , help support that marriage , for months . but it did n't work out . so hope and liam ended up together . and now they -- they are dealing with the loss of their child . beth . and they need a lot of love and support , taylor . they certainly do n't need you insinuating that liam should leave hope and reunite with steffy . do n't you see what you 're doing ? you are pitting us and our daughters against each other . the blondes versus the brunettes . as if , by virtue of our hair color , we get to stand on moral high ground . this has been going on for years -- for decades . and somewhere along the line , you rewrote the story to where you and your daughter , you -- you guys are the virtuous ones . well , no more . you can judge me all you want . i am used to your high - and - mighty attitude . but you sure as hell are not gon na do anything to harm my daughter . hope is so loving , and she is kind , and she is moral . she 's everything you wish that you were . and she is suffering , taylor , the biggest grief of her life . and i 'm gon na be there to protect her . so if you try to come between hope and liam , i swear to god , you 're gon na have to go through me first !	brooke tells taylor how dare she come in her house and make moves on her husband . taylor says she must have been spying on her but it was n't like that . wyatt and liam talk and wyatt says he hates to bring all of this up as it just reminds him what he has just been through himself . liam says it is okay , they will make it through this . wyatt says it was a rough day ; he can see the pain liam was in . liam says yeah but what can you do about it . thomas and hope talk and he says he is there for her and liam and he wants to be sure she is okay . he asks if she is okay and she responds not really . and she knows that is something he and douglas have to go through too . taylor tells brooke not to be so dramatic . she and ridge share children and she was married to him . brooke says she heard more than taylor thought as she said she was still very much in love with him . liam tells wyatt that he hopes none of this will bother sally . she deserves another chance at designing . wyatt says he was hoping it would be sooner than later but they have a few weekends free coming up so he would like liam and hope to come down to the beach and have some fun . liam says that sounds pretty good . a little part of hope went with beth and she needs a new outlet . thomas confides in hope that he and caroline were not together . he left sally to be with caroline and they tried but it just never worked out . she was his best friend but that is as far as it went to be parents to douglas . taylor accuses brooke of being jealous and insecure but brooke says she would never be insecure because of taylor and she wants her out of her house now . taylor says okay but she will be back to see thomas and her grandson douglas . she is stunned when brooke says no .
ridge : so how you doing , really ? steffy : i 'm fine . do i miss liam ? yeah , yeah , of course i do . but he 's where he 's supposed to be -- with hope and beth and douglas . ridge : [ sighs ] steffy : what about you ? ridge : what about me ? steffy : well , now the truth is about thomas , things are good with you and brooke ? okay , that good . hmm . quinn : my , my , my , my , my , my , my , my , those are some pretty big words , brooke . brooke : i meant every one . i 'm putting you on notice . nobody 's going to break up my marriage . quinn : how could little old me do something like that ? brooke : we both know you have your ways . quinn : yes , and you have yours , though i would never stoop to your depths . brooke : oh , do n't do this to me . i 'm on to you , quinn . quinn : oh ? brooke : this attack on my marriage is not going to work . quinn : attack ? ah , somebody 's being a drama queen . brooke : the digital picture frame . i know what you did . donna : i saw you kiss bill ! brooke : i know it 's a mistake . we both knew that . the minute it happened , we vowed never to do that ever again . [ door opens ] katie : hi ! donna : hi . hey . what 's up ? katie : uh , where 's brooke ? donna : out . katie : out where ? you okay ? donna : yeah . of course . why -- why would n't i be okay ? katie : you ... are just acting a little strange . donna : oh . katie : what 's that ? donna : um ... what ? katie : in your hand . donna : oh ! oh , this . yeah . this . katie : is that the gift that ridge gave brooke ? donna : who told you ? katie : about the digital frame ? who do you think ? brooke ! what is the matter with you ? donna : i need a drink of water . mm . suddenly i 'm feeling really parched . katie : i just think it was so sweet of ridge . donna : what was ? katie : just coming up with this fun way to display brooke and ridge 's commitment to each other , the strength of their love . donna : [ exhales deeply ] what are you -- what are you doing ? katie : i wan na see what 's on this thing . how do you turn it on ? steffy : let me guess . you spent the night at brooke 's . ridge : scandalous , i know , but you know , when you think about it , we 're still married . never filed the divorce papers . steffy : well , something you 're both glad about . ridge : she was right about thomas . she was right about him all along , and i did n't listen to her . so starting right now , i 'll never doubt or question anything that brooke says to me . quinn : digital ... picture frame ? brooke : oh , god . do n't pretend you do n't know what i 'm talking about . quinn : oh , no , i do n't think you know what you 're talking about . i mean , you -- you come in here . your panties are all in a bunch , making these wild accusations . when eric finds out about this , he 's gon na be very upset . brooke : eric 's gon na be very upset at you for doing what you 're doing . quinn : you make me sound so deliciously devious . brooke : oh , you are , quinn . and i 'm more certain now more than ever that you knew about this picture frame , how ridge bought it for me as a present , and he told eric to upload pictures and videos . quinn : wait , uh , i 'm sorry . pictures and videos of you and ridge , your husband , the man you wan na spend your life with ? or videos of you kissing bill spencer , the man that your sister is in love with ? brooke : [ scoffs ] ( michael ) my tip is , ridge : so you are coming ? steffy : to brooke 's house ? the little impromptu celebration she planned ? ridge : yeah , she 's gon na be very disappointed if you do n't make it . steffy : yes , i 'm coming . i already made arrangements for kelly . she 's -- ridge : why did n't you say that ? steffy : kelly 's staying with liam and hope and douglas and beth . hope wants the kids together . ridge : oh , that 's sweet . steffy : so who else is gon na be there ? ridge : oh , it 'll be just , uh , family . steffy : mm - hmm . ridge : and bill . steffy : dad . ridge : i know ! what am i supposed to do ? katie loves him , and ... i 'm just gon na let bygones be bygones for tonight because no one 's gon na derail my reunion with brooke . katie : that 's weird . brooke said that ridge had already loaded a bunch of photos on this thing . do you know how it works ? donna : yeah , yeah , i -- i do n't know . let me see . uh , it 's , uh , push a button or two . uh ... it probably just needs to be recharged or something like that . um ... yeah , you know , brooke has just been really busy , getting ready for this party in honor of her and ridge , so ... katie : i 'm so happy for them . yeah , oh , and they never should have been separated in the first place , but now they 're back together , reunited , and all is right with their world , as it should be . bill : hey . katie : hi ! bill : am i late ? katie : no . actually , we are the first ones here . uh , brooke should be back by now . bill : she 's not here ? katie : no . uh , donna said she went somewhere , but you -- you did n't say where . donna : oh . yeah , she 'll be back any second . i 'm -- i 'm sure ridge will be right behind her . bill : great . katie : stop it . bill : everything okay , donna ? donna : what ? bill : well , you 're looking at me kind of strange . what 's going on ? brooke : wow . wow , it really was you . quinn : i told you not to cross me , or you would regret it . brooke : no , no , what i regret is letting you get a foothold in this family . you are shameless , quinn . quinn : i 'm shameless ? [ laughs ] this is coming from the woman who 's playing kissy face with bill spencer , the man that katie , your sister , still loves and lives with and is the father of her child , oh , and also the man that ridge hates more than anyone else on this planet -- your sexy stallion . brooke : how did you get the video ? i want answers . quinn : i 'm sure ridge is gon na want answers , too . he 's gon na wan na know what his precious logan has been up to . i take it from the way you 've been explaining this to me , that ridge is n't up on your latest infidelity yet , but i 'm -- i 'm pretty confident that he will in -- in time . brooke : i just wan na know how you got that video . what were you doing ? were you spying on me down there ? what , you wan na catch me doing something so it 'd be easy for ridge to break it off with me ? quinn : okay , if by `` down there , `` you mean your sexy little love shack , um , no , i was nowhere near the cabin . i was actually at home with eric like a wife who is truly committed to her husband . brooke : oh , you 're only truly committed to stirring up trouble . quinn : you 're the one who started this , and as they say , payback is a you . brooke : you know what ? just tell me how did you get the video ? was it one of your friends ? oh , no , you do n't really have friends . wait , you do . you have one friend . her name is shauna , the creature from the desert . quinn : leave shauna out of this . brooke : why ? why should i leave her out of it ? she has no reason to take that recording ? yeah , she does , because she wants ridge for herself . she wants to break up our marriage . so that 's it , right ? it was shauna . you two were cohorts . she 's your partner in crime . wow , quinn . you really are showing your colors . quinn fuller . quinn : uh , quinn forrester . actually , i 'm a forrester . brooke : no , actually ... quinn : just like you . yeah . brooke : you 're not . you 're not good enough for this family . you 're not good enough to carry that name . you 're just a crazy interloper who got eric to believe that you 're somebody you 're not , and shauna did the same thing with ridge . okay . you may think you 're on high ground right now , but i am going to fight back , and i 'm gon na fight back hard . so i 'm gon na tell you one more time . nobody , not you , not shauna , not anybody is going to come between ridge and me . thomas tried , and he failed . you and shauna ... you 're gon na fail , too . i 'm phil mickelson . donna : i 'm sorry . um ... mm , you know , i am just , uh , i 'm caught off - guard . distracted , really , 'cause , uh , you know , i 'm thinking about all the things that i have to do before anyone else gets here , so i think i 'm just gon na go check on things in the kitchen . katie : donna and i were just talking about how happy we are for brooke and ridge now that they 've finally reunited . donna : um , you 're happy for 'em , too , right , bill ? katie : of course he is . that 's why we 're here . donna : yeah . katie : and brooke and ridge 's love is legendary , and ridge will always be her true one and only . donna : just like katie will always be your ... true one and only . right , bill ?

ridge : well , i ... okay . i bought her this , um , digital picture frame . hang on . steffy : mm - hmm . ridge : and i loaded it with pictures of our love story . romantic memories , and the cool thing about this thing -- you can load pictures , videos . steffy : that 's so cute . ridge : uh - huh steffy : you are a romantic . ridge : i am . so are you . but you know who the worst offender is ? brooke , 'cause she just says all the time , love can conquer all . and maybe she 's right , 'cause we 're back together . quinn : you are so off - base . brooke : about shauna ? i do n't think so . quinn : well , i know so . shauna did go down to the cabin to see you that night , but not to sabotage your marriage -- to defend it , to defend ridge , to try to get you to calm down about thomas . brooke : calm down ? calm down ? about an obsessed man who 's fixated on my daughter ? quinn : all right , brooke , enough already ! enough with the dramatics . we know already that you were right about thomas ! okay ! but it does n't excuse how you were treating ridge , and it does n't excuse you making out with bill behind ridge 's back . brooke : where is shauna right now ? i want her to delete that video . i 've already taken it off of the picture frame . quinn : well , she does n't have the video . she deleted it herself . brooke : sure , she did , right after she uploaded it to my house . quinn : no , she does n't even know why she took it in the first place . brooke : oh , please . quinn : although i will admit that i was doing cartwheels when she first showed it to me . i mean , oh , we finally had proof to show ridge what kind of woman you really are , but let me tell you something about my best friend and her heart . see , she would n't show the video to ridge . she did n't wan na be that woman , and she did n't wan na hurt ridge that way . so she erased it . brooke : oh , my god . i do n't believe a word that you 're saying . quinn : well , you can ask shauna for yourself . she does n't have the video , and she did n't upload it to your silly little picture frame . brooke : because you did . you took that video off of shauna 's phone before she deleted it , if that even happened , and you uploaded it . you conniving witch . [ birds chirping ] katie : is it odd that we 're here and our hosts are n't ? bill : are you concerned ? katie : should i be ? bill : probably not .

raise the roof . katie : mm - hmm . bill : of course , there would n't be any need for a reconciliation if you had been just even a little bit supportive of your wife . ridge : really ? steffy : okay . ridge : could n't hold that one in , could you ? katie : okay . all right . all right , we 're not gon na do this , not today . yeah , mnh - mnh . yeah . steffy : katie 's right . dad and brooke -- they might have hit a rough patch , but they 're good now . and we 're here to celebrate that . katie : can you help me with something over here , mr . spencer ? steffy : where 's the picture frame you got brooke ? ridge : yeah , donna , where is it ? donna : oh , um ... quinn : instead of wasting time calling me names , do n't you need to leave and ... do n't you have a party that you 're supposed to host ? i mean , all your guests should be there by now , except for me and eric , of course . brooke : you wouldn't . quinn : would n't i ? i mean , what better place to expose your latest scandal than at a -- at a celebration honoring yours and ridge 's `` commitment `` to each other ? i mean , the irony . i would n't miss it for the world . brooke : i will not be intimidated by you . quinn : oh , but you already are , and i am enjoying it immensely . but i do have to say i feel sorry for ridge and katie . they do n't deserve what you did to them . brooke : i do n't feel like i need to give you an explanation , but i will . quinn : oh . brooke : you know that bill and i have a history . quinn : hmm . brooke : we just got caught up in something , and it meant nothing , 'cause his commitment is to katie , and mine is to ridge . quinn : you -- you do n't really expect me to swallow all of that , do you ? like , you expect your sister and your husband to ? have you even -- have you even thought about katie ? i mean , she has this fragile heart . she was just a recent kidney transplant patient . how much more is that woman supposed to endure ? now she has to find out that you and bill have been sneaking around , giving in to your lust ? brooke : stop it ! it was n't like that . quinn : whatever it was like , katie is gon na be devastated . and -- and -- and ridge is gon na be -- he 's gon na be torn apart , not just because you betrayed him with bill again , but you betrayed your sister again . brooke : what do you want , quinn ? what are you after ? quinn : how about some respect ? i 'm the forrester matriarch . i 'm eric 's wife . respect that . and ... while i 'm making my list out for santa claus , um , i would like for you to leave ridge . i 'd like for you to leave town . i 'd like for you to leave all of us , 'cause you have been a scourge on the forrester family long enough . brooke : i am not going to let you blackmail me . you know what i 'm going to do ? i 'm gon na tell ridge the truth . so that way you ca n't hold anything over me . he is my husband , and he loves me . it was one kiss . quinn : well , no , & it was n't one kiss . it was a make - out session because i saw the video . brooke : it was a bad mistake . but ridge will understand . and in this process , ridge and eric will see how vile and how despicable you really are . and when the dust settles , the woman that 's walking away from here is you , quinn . not me . you .	ridge chats with steffy at forrester creations . she misses liam but knows he 's where he 's supposed to be now . she asks him how things are with brooke . he replies with a sly smile , so she knows things are good . ridge declares that he 'll never doubt anything brooke says to him again . steffy tells him that she 'll be at the party . he tells her that it 'll just family . he reluctantly adds bill to the list . ridge tells her about the digital picture frame he got for brooke . meanwhile , quinn and brooke continue to argue at the mansion . brooke knows that quinn sent the video . quinn pretends not to know what she means , but after brooke keeps threatening her , she mentions her and bill kissing . they keep arguing . quinn keeps needling her about bill . brooke declares that no one will come between her and ridge . she guesses that shauna is the one who took the video . quinn tells her the truth about why shauna went to brooke 's , that she took the photo and then decided to delete it . brooke figures out that quinn is the one who sent it to the frame . quinn threatens to expose brooke at her party . brooke tells quinn what happened with bill , and why , but she says that she 's committed to ridge , and bill is committed to katie . quinn does n't believe it . she sticks up for katie and lambastes brooke for what she 's done to her sister . brooke asks what she 's after , so quinn says that she would like a little bit of respect , as eric 's wife . she also adds that she 'd like brooke to leave ridge , and l.a. brooke declares that she 'll tell ridge the truth rather than let quinn blackmail her .

when ? ridge : yeah , well , when i found out nick had proposed to brooke . i flipped out . i did n't even remember driving over to massimo 's office , dad . one minute brooke was showing me that ring , and the next thing , i 'm over in that office just about jamming that ring down nick 's throat . eric : yeah , i probably would 've done the same thing . ridge : but would you have made a fool of yourself in front of all your business associates ? risked your reputation ? not to mention just about putting your own brother in the hospital ? eric : it would n't have gone that far . ridge : oh , would n't it ? so , let me ask you this -- am i a danger to my own family ? or should i just go ahead and do what they want ? eric : what do they want ? ridge : they want me to give up on brooke . jackie : oh , why did i wait so long to say anything ? i mean , the moment that i knew the paternity test had to be run again , i -- deacon : jackie , what are you going to do ? are you going to stand here ? are you going to beat yourself up ? i mean , come on , you ca n't cry over `` if onlys . `` it does n't -- jackie : i was always going to tell them . you know , i really was . in fact , i was right on the verge of saying something , when i saw brooke 's ultrasound and -- [ jackie sighs ] and i saw nick 's reaction to it . deacon : he fell in love with it . jackie : you know , it was as if a part of his heart that had been locked up for so many years just opened . deacon : yeah , i know the feeling . jackie : there 's just one problem , of course . you ca n't build happiness on another man 's misery . and that was so obvious today . when ridge said that nick had robbed him and his children of a life with brooke . but it was n't nicky . it was me . yeah , i 'm the one that did that . deacon : maybe -- maybe not . you do n't know what these test results would say if they re - ran them . come on . jackie : as much as i 'd like to convince myself that baby could be nicky 's -- it could be ridge 's . and if it is , then i -- i have denied him his wife , his son . deacon : that 's a tough thing to live with . jackie : taylor said -- deacon : wait , stop , what ? taylor ? jackie : i had a vision . i 'd been drinking . deacon : well , yeah , obviously , you know . jackie : and it 's not bad enough that i 'm seeing dead people . ridge is getting suspicious . deacon : of you , or the dead people ? i 'm sorry . go ahead . jackie : he feels like i 've played some kind of role in his misfortune . and if he starts snooping around -- deacon : cut him off at the pass . jackie : admit what i 've done ? deacon : what other choice do you have ? brooke : you 're talking about what you asked me the other night on the island , right ? your proposal ? nick : i told you to take your time and not to rush your decision . this is about our son . this has got to be our first priority . and if there is the slightest question about his welfare , bbrooke -- brooke : you 're right . i 'm just not sure -- [ brooke sighs ] nick : go ahead and say it . brooke : that marrying you is the answer . nick : can i guarantee that our son will be safe , or order will be restored to this family , or forrester will get over the two of you ? there is no guarantee of that -- none whatsoever . but there 's one thing you can take to the bank -- if we stay in this place where we are , we fail . and we fail everybody else involved . so -- did you ever see `` indiana jones and the last crusade `` ? brooke : i think i did . nick : good . brooke : why ? nick : well , at the end of the movie , there 's this scene where he 's about to find the holy grail . but there 's this big , huge , bottomless canyon that he has to cross . so , instead of standing in one place , like we all have a tendency to do , he put his foot out over the edge , with nothing but air below him , and he took a step forward . and sure enough , a bridge appeared beneath him , and he made it to the other side . you see , sooner or later , we all have to take that leap of faith . it 's your turn . deacon : jackie , your only alternative is to come clean about this . jackie : no . deacon : you have to . what are you gon na do ? jackie : no , i ca n't . deacon : you were the one who came here for my help , right ? you 're the one who 's been drinking . you 're the one who 's been hallucinating about dead people and taylor and god knows what . you ca n't go on this way . jackie : the alternative is worse . deacon : what , that people are mad for a little while ? jackie : mad for a while ? a `` little `` mad ? oh , i would lose my marriage over this . i mean , i ca n't even begin to imagine how betrayed massimo would feel . deacon : massimo would get over it . okay , all right . he would n't get over it . jackie : i spent years missing him . i prayed for a miracle . a miracle that would bring us together . he 's the love of my life -- he and nicky . nicky would never talk to me again . deacon : yeah , look , it 's going to be okay . jackie : no . it 's not going to be okay . no matter what i do , someone is going to be completely devastated . oh , god . oh , god . deacon : come here . jackie : how could i have let this happen ? how ? eric : can you walk away from brooke ? ridge : i just know i ca n't keep going on like this . eric : well , can you go on without her ? ridge : it 's not that simple . eric : yes , it is . it 's in here , it 's in here . you already know . yes or no ? can you or can you not live without brooke ? ridge : no , no i ca n't ! all right ? she 's my wife . and no annulment paper and no baby is ever going to change that . brooke and i were meant to be together . eric : all right then , ridge . fight for her . fight for her ! if you believe that strongly in the two of you , then hang on to her . do you understand ? that 's what people do when they love each other . god , ridge , i did n't raise you to live half a life . do you understand ? if you want brooke , then you fight for her . you do whatever it takes . nick : i want you to be my wife , brooke . brooke : nick , i -- nick : this boy is almost here . he 's on the way , and i do n't want to be wondering whether you and i are going to be together at 4 : 00 in the morning when i 'm trying to figure out how to change his diaper . brooke : well , something tells me you 're going to be a natural . nick : i 'll give it my best . i 'll give my best to this boy , and i 'll give my best to you . so , i 'm going to ask you to accept this ring again , and not to wait for the future to wear it . let 's start right now . i want you to wear it right now . marry me , brooke . be my wife .	jackie has doubts about keeping her secret , yet she is afraid she will lose her husband and her son if she talks . all of this , she confides to deacon . ridge goes to eric for advice and tells him of all that has happened . eric encourages ridge to fight for what he wants . nick goes to brooke and tries to convince her that the only way to stop all this madness is if she will accept his proposal and marry him .
brooke : oh , it 's gorgeous , is n't it ? ridge : absolutely . brooke : one track mind , would you stop ? i could stay here all day . ridge : sounds good to me . brooke : we 've got a lot of work to do . remember , silly ? ridge : let 's do it tomorrow . okay , i know you 're right . as much as i 'd love to play hooky , we got a job to do . brooke : that 's right . wait till you meet the staff . they 're going to love you . ridge : if you approve , i like them already . brooke : they 're going to love rick and phoebe , too . ridge : there is no rick and phoebe . not as long as i have anything to say about it . come on , let 's go .

[ scene_break ] taylor : is n't it strange how life just can turn around on you so quickly ? it 's very strange , is n't it ? rick : what do you mean ? taylor : um , well , a year ago , i was married to nick . i was planning this whole future with him . we were going to have a baby together . and now i 'm here living in this house by myself . it 's just -- it 's just strange . rick : you 're not by yourself tonight . taylor : no , i - i - i know that . that 's because you 've been so wonderful to me . i mean , you 've done very thoughtful things . you went and got jack for me the other day . you 've done just so -- so many things , that it means the world to me . rick : well , i just want you to be happy , taylor . i believe that i can make you happy . taylor : you do make me happy . taylor : what ? what is it ? what 's going on with you ? you just -- you do n't seem like yourself . are you upset because your mother knows how you feel ? what -- rick : no , no . that 's ridiculous . it 's not bothering me . nick : no , there 's something going on , and i just want you to talk to me . rick , you 've been there for me . i want to be there for you . rick : as a friend , though . taylor : yeah , as a friend . uh , what do you mean ? what ... rick : i mean that i see us as more than just friends . rick : all right , i - i got here earlier , and ridge was still here , and i overheard a lot of your conversation through the open door . i just -- i want you to be honest with me , okay ? just -- just tell me , taylor . am i being a fool ?

katie : i need to know exactly what you saw . taylor : only what i 've told you . katie : so , brooke was essentially pitching eric to resurrect the bedroom line ? taylor : your husband right there alongside her , encouraging her . katie : you know , bill is a businessman . he loves a marketing stunt . taylor : did you call me here to help you talk yourself out of what you saw with your own eyes ? you just said that bill refused to tell brooke that they would never be anything more than in - laws . katie : that -- that was bad judgment on my part . i mean , i gave bill a direct order . you do n't do that with him . it 's the very definition of self - defeating . i should know that by now . taylor : what choice do you have when he shows no awareness of behavior that hurts you or disrespects you ? bill : is this how you pad your hours , taylor ? by fanning the flames to keep my wife insecure ?

[ scene_break ] bill : do you even know what you 're unhappy about ? katie : [ sighs ] where would you like me to start ? bill : you ca n't actually believe that i 'm having an affair with your sister . katie : and anything short of that i should be okay with ? is this gon na be another conversation where i say there 's a problem and you tell me that there 's not one ? bill : it seems like everything i do lately is a problem for you . katie : i do n't like being ignored when i tell you that your drinking bothers me . i do n't like being humiliated when i walk in and i find my husband rolling around on a bed with a half - naked woman -- any half - naked woman , but especially not my sister . i do n't like being told that , when i 'm upset and when i 'm angry , that i have no right to be . bill : so , because you do n't like it automatically means that i 'm wrong . katie : do n't be childish . it does n't become you . i expect that i come first with you , that my -- my thoughts , my opinions , my -- my feelings come first . bill : yeah , i used to have the same expectation -- that i would come first with you , but i 'm learning to live without it . [ scene_break ] brooke : i swear to you , there 's nothing more to it . you do n't believe me ? donna : what i ca n't believe is how dense you are sometimes . now , look , if you -- if you were with ridge and you came home and he was drinking champagne in bed with any half - dressed woman , what would your response have been ? brooke : it was n't a bed . it was a prop . and i was n't half - dressed . i was wearing wardrobe from brooke 's bedroom . and it was n't in somebody 's house . it was right here in the fashion showroom . donna : okay , fine . if you ca n't be honest with me , just be honest with yourself . you really do n't think there 's anything going on with you and bill that katie would be upset about ? because she is taking this very seriously . brooke : if she does lose bill , it wo n't be to me . i am not the problem here . it 's just very convenient for her to blame me . the truth is , i 'm afraid she 's driving bill away .

[ scene_break ] quinn : what could they possibly be discussing ? eric : i 'm sure aly is making her case . quinn : oh , she 's already done that , eric . i do n't understand . why are we letting a teenager derail such an excellent proposal ? rick : that teenager happens to be a forrester . maya : this company needs someone like aly . yes , she is abrasive , but she plays a role . caroline : the guardian for what we stand for . carter : so , the bottom line -- hope has to be onboard . rick : carter 's right . she 's always on point , but we have to make sure that she 's gon na be comfortable with this . quinn : why would n't she be ? she 's beautiful , charming , handles the press . she 's camera perfect . eric : she 's also a young woman of principles . she needs to be resolved about any doubts that she might have . quinn : well , aly will help her do that , wo n't she ? [ scene_break ] liam : lingerie model , huh ? you 're a piece of work . wyatt : wow . you do n't believe in her . liam : [ laughs ] you do n't have a clue , do you ? wyatt : about ... ? liam : who hope is , what she stands for . wyatt : she 's onboard , mon frère . liam : yeah ? tough sell ? did you buy her another diamond ? wyatt : nope . she 's down . liam : you 're gon na bring her down if she agrees to this , and you know something , wyatt ? you 're gon na make her hate herself ... and you even more . [ scene_break ] aly : i do n't think you realize the impact you 've had on my generation . hope : it was n't always positive . aly : so you slipped a few times . even that was a lesson . hope : yeah , yeah . that i 'm human , just like everybody else . aly : and it taught us something . hope : what did it teach you ? aly : that it is n't always easy being true to yourself , your principles . that 's it hard work , even for someone like you . hope : sometimes i look back on that and i wonder if i was n't on some kind of ego trip . aly : no . you showed us what it means to respect yourself and what can happen when you do n't . do n't you see ? your whole life is a lesson , and we need that , hope . are n't there enough bad examples out there ? movie stars and athletes that turn to drugs and sex -- those were our role models ... until you came along . hope : i 'm not angel , aly . aly : we do n't want an angel , hope . we want someone who fights and slips and falls like us and picks herself back up , admits her mistakes , and corrects them . we want a crusader , hope . and that 's what you are . hope : i 'm also responsible for a line of clothing that this company depends on . aly : and why do you think that line is so successful ? why do we want to look like you , dress like you , be like you ? because we know that what you stand for is right . it may not be popular , it may not be cool , but if we want to be a success in this world , if we want to be loved and respected , we ca n't just give it away . you taught us to invest in ourselves . that is what hope for the future is all about . hope : and that has n't changed . i still feel that way . aly : but it has to be more than just a feeling . you have to live it , hope . if you cheapen yourself , then you cheapen your message , and what are we left with ? what are the young , impressionable women left with if their crusader starts parading around in her underwear ? what are we to think ? that seduction is good ? they listen to your words , hope . take back the world . respect yourself . they need to hear that . i needed to hear that . and like it or not , they are watching you , listening , taking your cue . just ask yourself -- what advice are you giving them if you start modeling lingerie ? [ scene_break ] pam : you two behaving yourselves ? wyatt : liam here thinks that poor hope has been misled . pam : you know , i would n't worry too much about that one . she 's gon na do what she does regardless of you two . wyatt : which is exactly why she 's with me -- because i believe in her . i encourage her to do bigger and better . you just hold her back . liam : well , you do spoon - feed her large doses of charm . she seems to like that , but eventually , she 's gon na gag . wyatt : how ironic . you think that you know her so well , but you really do n't . that sweet , little high - school girl is all grown up . and it happened right after she left you . liam : see , and i bet you think it 's 'cause she needed the right man . wyatt : i 'm glad you -- you recognize that . liam : do you understand that the more i 'm around you , the more confident i get ? i love your arrogance , wyatt , 'cause it means you 're setting yourself up . wyatt : oh , for the big fall where she dumps me and she comes crawling back to you ? let me get this straight . is that -- is that before or after we make a bunch of money on this lingerie line ? liam : wow , you really think this is gon na happen . i love this . i love this . wyatt : its happening , brother . liam : [ laughs ] fine . fine . how do you think aly is handling this whole thing ? wyatt : aly ? aly is out of control , and hope is reining her in right now . liam : you sure it 's not the other way around ? [ scene_break ] aly : think about those things that you used to say in the beginning . check the message boards , the blogs . that message is still playing loud and clear . you might want to pretend that it is n't , that you 're all done with that . well , you are n't . this could hurt you , hope . it could destroy your line , and i just -- i really do n't want to see that happen . hope : hmm . well , you 've certainly given me a lot to think about . aly : please , please do n't do this , hope . do n't change who you are . hope : okay . okay . okay . you 've made your point . you have . i - i - i 'm listening . but the decision is mine , not yours . [ scene_break ] pam : okay , okay , okay , guys . look . this is how it 's gon na be . i want no more talk about aly . she is a forrester . you are not . i want you to treat her with respect . wyatt : pam , she 's certifiable . pam : see , that is not what i want to hear , and that is definitely not what i want aly to hear . wyatt : well , maybe she needs to hear it . pam : no , no , no . trust me . that is not what she needs . wyatt : why not , pam ? hmm ? pam : wyatt -- rick : good . you 're back . let 's wrap this up . i 've got another meeting i have to get to . eric : hope , it 's your call . have you made a decision ? hope : yes , i have . okay . um ... i agree with wyatt . i think that with the popularity of this line , there is no doubt that a lingerie addition will sell . but i also understand where aly 's coming from . we have a responsibility to the customer base that built this line , and that is a youth market . so what do we do ? can we have it all ? can we market responsibly and increase sales ? maybe . i think maybe we could have it all . you know , we could target the younger demographic with responsible marketing and the adult women with a lingerie campaign . bui think what it comes down to is this ... it 's my name . it 's my face on the line . my values , my reputation , everything that i stand for -- that 's all part of hope for the future . and ultimately , i have to do what 's right for me . and launching a bedroom line , following in the footsteps of my mother ... is n't . and that may change . it might . we 'll see . but i think that , right now , we should n't do it . quinn : oh , that girl has got to be stopped . wyatt : aly got to her . quinn : a brilliant idea derailed because they 're listening to a stupid teenager ? ! wyatt : yeah , but it 's more than that , mom . quinn : what ? ! what more ? aly is unstable . wyatt : and yet they tiptoe around it . why ? at least some of them do . but eric and -- and pam ... quinn : she wants you gone . she wants me gone , and we can not let that happen . aly : oh , but its happening , is n't it ? finally , the voice of reason prevails . quinn : more like the voice of insanity . aly : you do not know who you 're messing with , lady . quinn : do n't push me , kid . aly : oh , i will push and shove you right out the door -- you and your hotshot son . i do n't like getting angry , but you two make me crazy . wyatt : that 's kind of the perfect choice for words . aly : i hate you ! but that 's okay , because they took my advice -- well , my mother 's advice . quinn : y - your mother ? aly : yeah , that 's right . darla forrester , the most respected woman in the family . quinn : oh . aly : that 's what stephanie called her . quinn : well , if , uh , she 's anything like you , then i 'm glad i do n't know her . aly : you are a witch -- a wicked , conniving witch . they exist , you know ? oh , i can smell it . [ sniffs ] evil . you reek of it . and so do you . but i will not let you poison hope . i wo n't . [ scene_break ] hope : what are you doing here ? liam : i do n't know . it 's weird . something keeps drawing me back here . i wish i knew what . hope : [ laughs ] uh , i trust that i will not read anything about what happened in this office . liam : well , i will say you were on fire . hope : oh , i just said what had to be said . liam : yeah , if only you 'd do what had to be done . i 'm kidding . i know what you 're thinking , by the way . `` why does n't liam get a life ? `` hope : god , liam , yeah . why do n't you get a life ? liam : i guess i could move to paris , you know , ride a motorcycle , take skydiving lessons . hope : yeah , well , she 's there . liam : ah , yes . the lightning rod that kept you from marrying me . hope : how is steffy ? liam : could n't tell you . hope : oh , come on . you guys must text every now and then . liam : hope , if i wanted to be with steffy , i 'd be with steffy . hope : [ sighs ] liam : i know i earned your skepticism , but , you know , from my point of view , nothing 's changed . i love you just as much as i did when we said our vows in italy . hope : [ sighs ] liam : you were n't soliciting that information , i know that . and you 're trying to make things work with wyatt , and if that 's who you want , i ca n't do anything about that . my only question is ... is it ? 'cause what he 's bringing to your life -- what happened in here for example -- are you good with that ? because you did n't ask to be put in that position . he put you there . hope : no , but i agreed to do it . liam : but it must have been against your better judgment . otherwise , you would n't have changed your mind . hope : [ sighs ] honestly , i - i think that i just got overexcited about the idea . i did n't really think things through , and aly brought up some points that i - i really had n't thought of . liam : you 've always known what you wanted . you 've always taken a stand , and nobody could sway you because those values are you . you have a code , you know ? and you 've refined that code over time . i was -- i was lucky enough to be a part of that , but it never changed who you are . it never changed this amazing person that you grew up to be , and for the life of me , i ca n't figure out why anybody would want to change that . i guess wyatt does . maybe you see that , maybe you do n't , 'cause you 're wrapped up in ... whatever . but ... i hope today showed you something . it showed me something . it showed me that the woman i love ... is still the woman i love . and i 'm so damn proud of you . hope : [ chuckles ] [ exhales sharply ] liam : [ clears throat ] [ chuckles ] [ chuckles ]	wyatt is still conducting the meeting while everyone gives their views about a possible launch of after dark . aly is the loudest and tells hope that sex sells and that is exactly what she would be doing selling sex . hope logan fought so hard for her message for young girls like aly to be responsible and wait . and now hope is going to be modeling lingerie . she ca n't imagine what has happened to hope . pam and liam are outside the door trying their best to hear a peep from inside . liam says aly is the voice of reason and she has never lost control around him . pam says that is because she adores liam , but hates wyatt . liam agrees that is another reason for him to like her . wyatt is pushing hope too far this time and maybe it is a good thing , maybe she will see the light as she has too much integrity for that . aly wants to talk to hope alone but eric tries to say they are all in a meeting together . hope speaks up and says it is okay . she will give her a couple of minutes . when wyatt walks out he catches liam and pam talking . she excuses herself . wyatt asks why liam is there . he scoffs he is there to watch wyatt 's demise . he says wyatt does n't have a clue who hope is . she is not going to be a lingerie model . wyatt thinks liam does n't believe in hope , but she 's on board with this . liam says if they do this , hope will hate herself and wyatt even more . wyatt says that is why hope is with him now . he encourages her and liam only holds her back . liam admits that wyatt does feed her a large dose of charm but eventually she is going to gag . wyatt says liam does n't know hope at all . she is not that sweet high school girl that he knew . she grew up right after she left him . hope tells aly she gets a couple of minutes but please do not use them to slam wyatt or it will be less . aly basically goes over all the things she has said before . she asks hope to think when she launched her line why she called it hope for the future . she had a vision and it caught on and changed the world . hope says yes but she grew up and her values have not changed , but they have matured . aly points out what a crusader hope was and how she taught her generation to respect themselves and what will happen if they do n't . she says hope 's whole life is a lesson and they need that . hope says she is no angel . aly says they do n't want an angel . they simply want someone who will slip and fall , but picks herself back up and corrects them . hope taught them to invest in themselves and not just give it away . she tells hope she has to live her message and not cheapen herself or it will cheapen the message . she tells hope to take back her world and respect herself . she can not do that parading around in her underwear . hope says aly has given her a lot to think about . she has been listening but the decision is hers , not aly 's .
brooke : you come into my home and you kiss my husband , and all this talk about breaking up hope and liam ...

[ sighs ] i know you 've been through a very dark time . taylor : `` a dark time `` ? brooke : you picked up a gun and you shot bill . taylor : oh , my gosh . is there any reason for you to even bring that up ? brooke : yes , of course . there 's a good reason . it shows how unstable you are . and i 'm not gon na allow that in my home . and i - i certainly am not gon na allow that craziness around my daughter ! ridge : what 's going on out here ? brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : are you kidding me ? really ? on -- on -- on a day when we 're supposed to be mourning caroline , when we 're trying to figure out what 's best for thomas , and for that innocent little boy , you two are gon na go at each other ? really ? taylor : oh , yes . your wife is standing here telling me that i 'm crazy . and she 's also telling me that i ca n't come here and visit my own son and my own grandson . and if you 're gon na go along with that , then i 'm taking thomas and douglas with me . brooke : i 'm not the one in the wrong here , and i refuse to defend myself in my own home . taylor : well , would you like me to tell ridge everything you said to me ? ridge : no , no ! no . ridge does n't need to hear anything . why ? why are we doing this today ? this has been a very emotional day for everyone . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : and everyone 's on edge . and i 'm glad you 're home . hi . brooke : yeah . hi . me too . ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : i 'm sorry about caroline . ridge : so am i . when 'd you get here ? brooke : uh ... just before you left . ridge : oh . i did n't see you . brooke : well , i saw you . i saw taylor kissing you , and telling you how much she loves you . taylor : she 's feeling a little insecure , ridge . brooke : oh , i - i 'm not insecure at all . actually , i was -- i was pretty repulsed . in fact , ridge , you looked kind of shocked when she was coming in for that kiss . and i was n't spying , taylor . i just could n't believe what i was seeing . taylor : [ scoffs ] brooke : oh ! thomas , hi . oh ! so sorry . thomas : yeah . brooke : i tried to get here , but my plane was delayed . i wanted to be here for the memorial . i 'm sorry . thomas : yeah , dad told me . it 's fine . brooke : okay . thomas : i know you wanted to be here . brooke : oh , wow ! look at you . you get bigger every time i see you ! when are you gon na start college , huh ? douglas : college ? no ! brooke : [ laughs ] i 'm just glad you 're here , and i 'm glad you 're staying with us . thomas : well , i 'm gon na fix him something to eat . brooke : oh , gosh , yeah . we have a lot to choose from in the kitchen . come on . let 's go . taylor : hey , honey . i 'll do it . if that 's okay with you . brooke : of course . you know where everything is . ridge : [ sighs ] taylor : no . but i know how you think . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : [ sighs ] welcome home . brooke : some welcome . ridge : how mad are you right now ? brooke : i 'm not mad at you . ridge : no ? brooke : no . ridge : so i 'm okay to kiss women as long as it 's at the house ? brooke : [ sighs ] how did you ever live with that woman ? attacking me is n't enough for her anymore . she now has to attack my daughter . and she 's trying to get liam to leave hope so he can be with steffy and help raise those children . ridge : you 've heard that theme before . brooke : yeah . [ sighs ] alone and childless . is that really the future she thinks my daughter deserves ? ridge : i - i do n't think so . liam : uh , hey . hi . what are you -- what are you doing ? hope : oh . uh , it 's all right . [ chuckles ] i 'm all right . i just -- i brought this in from the other room . you know , we should decide what to do with all this stuff . and , anyway , i have n't even written thank - you notes for most of these things . liam : nobody expects that . hope : no , i know . mom says returning them will make people feel bad . but she did suggest maybe writing a note saying that we donated it to charity . liam : yeah , we could -- we could do that . or ... hope : liam . there wo n't be another pregnancy . i just -- i do n't know . i thought there might be something in here that douglas might enjoy . liam : douglas ? oh . that 's cool . um ... it 's just , you know , that this is stuff for a newborn , and he 's not , and ... hope : yeah , i know . i just -- i do n't know . what do you think ? he might like it . maybe something like this ? you know , like a blankie ? liam : you 're amazing . that 's amazing . [ sighs ] and , yeah . i -- you might be right that some stuff of his own out here is just what that kid needs right now . hope : he needs more than that .

[ sighs ] ridge : she knows how to push your buttons . brooke : yeah , she does . ridge : but you know what ? i think , once she gets her practice running again , it 's all gon na be better . brooke : oh . really ? so she does n't have to play professional victim anymore ? you know , she has a knack for that . ridge : she has a knack for it because she earned it . brooke : [ scoffs ] ridge : she had a rough life . now , losing her daughter - in - law and looking at the little boy and trying to figure out what to do next , that 's a real thing . brooke : okay . now i feel petty . i 'm gon na try to rise above it . ridge : you will ? brooke : yeah . ridge : then i will nominate you for the nobel peace prize . brooke : [ exclaims ] okay . but as long as taylor does n't try to mend her family by breaking apart my daughter 's marriage . ridge : i told her the same thing . brooke : good . liam : so he said that ? hope : yeah . i mean , maybe someone was on the grounds coming or going . but the point is that douglas came in upset , thinking that he saw caroline . liam : how did you handle that ? hope : i was able to calm him down . i mean , he 's so sweet . liam : [ stammers ] but how did -- how did it get from that to him wanting you to be his mommy ? hope : well , he 's little . you know , there 's so many things he does n't have the words for yet . he -- he was just trying to say that i - i -- i was comforting him , and he was trying to thank me . but still ... liam : it got to you . hope : i used to think that & those might be beth 's first words . or second , after `` dada . `` but , you know , hearing `` mommy `` coming from a hurting little child ... [ clears throat ] anyways , the memorial service was beautiful , and -- liam : i should have been there . i 'm really sorry . hope : it 's fine . you know , there 's enough sadness to go around . and , yes , even though the moment with douglas was jarring , you know , it -- it helped . it helped me . it helped take me out of myself , my pain , and -- and ... open my heart up to this sweet little boy who -- who 's in need . douglas : where 's the dishwasher ? taylor : oh ! [ chuckles ] what a big , grown - up boy you are . i 'll put this in the dishwasher , honey . thomas : uh , you still want to watch that movie , bud ? all right . well , i 'll meet you over there , okay ? i just got to talk to grandma for a minute . [ grunts ] taylor : bye , douglas . douglas : bye , grandma . thomas : so . [ sighs ] steffy messaged me from the plane . it 's really nice of her to delay her trip . taylor : i know . i know . she would do anything for you , sweetheart . thomas : and so would you . which is why i 'm insisting that you go to europe with steffy and the girls . taylor : but you and douglas just got here -- thomas : look , i 'm staying here with dad , right , and there 's so much family around . i know steffy 's strong and independent , but she 's stressing out a lot right now , and i think she needs you more . and i do n't want to worry about her , so [ sighs ] if you really want to help me , please say you 'll go with her . taylor : [ sighs ] well , i - i really did n't want steffy to go without me . and i - i know she 's got her hands full . as long as we can video chat while i 'm gone . thomas : [ chuckles ] deal . mm . [ sighs ] so . what is going on with you and brooke ? taylor : oh ! phew . ha ! well , let 's see . um ... it started before you were born . thomas : oh . just the usual , then . never mind . [ chuckles ] taylor : douglas seemed a lot better , somehow . thomas : i think we have hope to thank for that . taylor : really ? how so . thomas : well , douglas saw something or someone in the garden before , and he thought it was caroline . uh ... i - i could n't get through to him , and he was so upset . but hope did . which is kind of incredible when you think she 's suffering from her own loss . taylor : yeah . well , steffy says that hope is amazing with your nieces . thomas : douglas asked her to be his mother . taylor : [ sighs ] thomas : i do n't know how that affected hope . but she handled it beautifully . here -- here she is , grieving from her own daughter , and douglas is intuitive enough to know that she needs ... what can i say ? out of the mouth of babes . taylor : indeed . [ scoffs ]	brooke tells taylor that it is tragic that taylor lost her grandson 's mother but that gave her no right to come in here and kiss ridge in their home . taylor says she is not after ridge but she does want the right to see her own grandson here . brooke chides taylor that she has now learned how to read minds if she thinks she knows liam better than he does . taylor and steffy may want liam with steffy , but liam does not feel that way . and if she tries that then she will have to go through brooke first . wyatt and liam talk and liam knows everyone thinks they should have another child . but wyatt says his wife does not seem to want one now . and liam looks like he does not want to go home and bring that up . liam says then he better put on another face . taylor asks brooke if she is threatening her . brooke says she just needs to be supportive of thomas and douglas just the way hope and liam are . then she brings up the fact that taylor had a gun and shot bill . taylor asks why she is still dwelling on that . brooke says because she is crazy and she is not going to allow that to come into this house so leave .
ridge : who was that ? brooke : on the phone , ridge . i heard what you said . you were talking about a kiss . ridge : logan , there 's no reason to get upset . it did n't mean anything . brooke : you said it caught you off guard . have you been seeing somebody ? ridge : no . brooke : come on , you can tell me . ridge : there 's nothing to tell , really . brooke : all right , well , i 'm gon na tell you something . whoever this person is and whatever you did , it really does n't matter . because it 's not going to change my feelings for you . ridge : brooke , i 'm not seeing anyone . brooke : ridge , i understand . you 're an attractive , single man . and you work with all these beautiful women . i mean , i would be stupid to think that you were n't tempted now and then . ridge : i was n't . and that 's not how it was . brooke : well , then , how was it ? i mean , please , tell me . i just do n't understand what 's going on here .

[ scene_break ] bill : there 's no denying that ridge and brooke have history . but with me , it was different . we were able to look forward . we had a future , potential , passion . we were just getting started . liam : yeah , until she decided to marry ridge . which would have happened , by the way , if it were n't for katie . i mean , do n't get me wrong . as many times as i 've asked hope to take me back , i 'm not throwing stones . but i do n't know . you 're different . you 're ... `` dollar `` bill spencer . you do n't like hearing the word no , especially as many times as you have from brooke . bill : brooke wanted will and r.j. to grow up with their families . now she knows that is n't possible . we 're gon na take care of them , and we 'll do everything we can to make sure they 're happy . brooke needs to know that she has more to be proud of than just being a good mom . she is a ... smart , sexy , dynamic woman , not afraid to put herself out there , take a chance . she needs a man who can handle that , appreciate it . and that man clearly is n't ridge . and tonight , brooke is gon na realize that that man is me . liam : so i should n't wait up ? bill : you better start looking for a new roommate .

[ scene_break ] quinn : brooke is whiny , weak , needy . wyatt : hey , that is my future mother - in - law you 're talking about . quinn : better that than your stepmother . i mean , brooke has never been right for bill . he does n't want to be anyone 's white knight . wyatt : he prides himself on being the black - hat kind of guy . quinn : yeah , well , i know how bad bill can be . i 've seen the worst of him . but ... i can also appreciate how far he 's come since then . and brooke does n't . she 's ashamed of her involvement with him . and she expects him to feel as guilty about it as she does . wyatt : yeah , i 'd like to see that . quinn : yeah , well , you wo n't . that 's not how bill 's mind works . he does what he does . if it does n't turn out exactly the way he wants it to , he moves on . and that 's what 's gon na happen when brooke rejects him again . and she will . wyatt : then what ? quinn : well , then i will be there to show bill that there is one woman in his life who truly understands him . wyatt : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ( flashbacks ) rick : bill really cares about you , mom . bill : you 've been there for me , brooke . and i will always be there for you . ma chéri .

[ chuckles ] but still he cares . i have n't been very good to him , actually . i 've been really awful . but he does n't hate me . i do n't know why . but i do know that he has been there and is there for me to help . he 's helping me get through , one day at a time . and i know if i call ... he will be there . george : have a good day , all , and remember -- what we 've said here today in this room will be held in the strictest of confidence . keep coming back . together : it works if you work it . deacon : i just want to thank you for what you said . you know that i 'll pick up the phone , day or night . i 'm here for you . quinn : i 'm sorry ivy is n't working out for you . rick : uh , no . it 's not that . i 'm gon na keep her around , for now . quinn : oh , okay . so , we would be working together ? rick : at times . i need more out of her . bringing on a seasoned jewelry designer like yourself could help stimulate her creativity -- you know , healthy competition and all , not that i 'd be pitting you guys against each other . wyatt : uh ... a - are you sure that you 're ready to handle the , uh -- the employee backlash ? rick : you know , wyatt , i have to think about what 's best for this company , even if it means a few disgruntled employees . the bottom line , quinn -- i 've gotten a lot of requests about your work . you 've bee missed . quinn : does that mean that you 're offering -- rick : i do n't know . i 'm -- i 'm still not thrilled with how you treated my sister . is it worth the risk ? quinn : risk ? what risk ? rick : basically , how much of a liability will your craziness be ? quinn : you do not have to worry . i 'm a changed woman . tell him . wyatt : she 's made a lot of progress . quinn : yeah . i - i - i guess , you know , deacon 's brought out the best in me . bill : what are you making ? will : ohm ! bill : pancakes ? will : ohm ! katie : donna is getting a massage . she ca n't swing by and check on brooke . i mean , do you think i should call my dad and see if he called her ? bill : i think that , uh , will is the one who needs babysitting , not brooke . you have to trust that she knows what she 's doing , katie . katie : it 's just that -- bill : if she 's in trouble , she 'll let us know . katie : i know , and she has in the past , but last night , the things that she said -- she 's -- she 's lonely . bill : well , loneliness passes . katie : she does n't do well on her own . she makes bad choices . i just hope she does n't reach out to the wrong person . brooke : deacon ! deacon : i should have called first , right ? brooke : no , it 's okay . come on in . deacon : okay . brooke : you okay ? deacon : yeah , uh , for the most part . brooke : it was a good meeting today . deacon : yeah . as a matter of fact , i ca n't stop thinking about it . that 's why i 'm here . brooke : if you 're tempted to drink , i 'm glad you came by . you said that i can call you anytime . well , the same goes for you . deacon : brooke , i 'm tempted , but not by alcohol . katie : the nanny just got here , so we will be in shortly . all right . thank you , adele . okay . ready ? bill : whenever you are . katie : well , there 's actually something that i want to do first . bill : thatagirl ! lock that door . katie : uh , no , no . i was n't talking about that . i wanted to thank you . i know how much you 're trying . bill : trying ? katie : yeah . i mean , i 'm going on and on and on about my sister , and i 'm sure you 're thinking about a million other things that you have to do , and i know you think i 'm overreacting , but you 're listening to me , and that makes me feel good . that makes me feel loved . bill : you are overreacting ... katie : mm . bill : ... and you are loved . katie : i know . bill : now go lock the door . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : [ chuckles ] rick : same salary as before . quinn : fine . rick : except longer hours . we 've had an exceptional quarter . everybody 's working around the clock to make this next quarter even better . quinn : yeah , no problem . rick : in that case , welcome back . quinn : seriously ? rick : yes , seriously . quinn : thank you ! thank you so much ! rick : can you stick around ? i 'd like to make it official . quinn : yeah . consider me on the clock . rick : that 's what i like to hear . quinn : hey , rick , i wo n't let you down . i can separate my personal life from my professional life . you wo n't even think about my past . i 'm gon na be employee of the month -- employee of the year . rick : maybe i should order some of those plaques . that 's not a bad idea . good morale - booster . i 'm gon na have pam set up that meeting . oh , and , uh , quinn ... do n't make me regret this . quinn : oh , you wo n't . quinn : we 're gon na be working together again , baby ! wyatt : congrats . quinn : aah ! i can not wait to tell deacon . we are gon na celebrate tonight ! [ sighs ] brooke : what are you saying ? deacon : i do n't know . i do n't know . i mean , i - i have n't had a drink in a couple of days . i mean , maybe it 's messing with my head or something . that 's -- that 's not why i 'm here . did you mean what you said today at the meeting ? brooke : every word . look [ sighs ] this whole thing is really a struggle for me , but i 'm looking at it more positive now and starting to get my footing because of you . you know , you were there for me . like when i just wanted to drink myself to sleep , you came over and you talked me out of it . you got me through that . and i really appreciate it . thank you . deacon : i 'm engaged to quinn . brooke : i know . deacon : i mean , we 're getting ready to build a life together . brooke : that , i think , is a mistake . deacon : i mean , i love her . i do , you know ? but then there 's you -- the unattainable , the woman that i never had any right to know , the mother of my daughter . and if i could just -- if i could just have one more chance with you . i keep asking myself if anything has changed , you know , now that we 're going through this together , that ridge is out of the picture , and bill . you do n't have to be lonely . maybe i 'm what you 've been looking for , because i 'm feeling it . i know i am . and i think you 're feeling it , too . so , i got to ask you ... is there a chance for us ? is there , brooke ?	brooke wakes up to a phone call from deacon who asks if she is going to the aa meeting this morning or needs a ride . she says she is going and she will make it on her own . katie calls too and brooke has to turn her down for a play date with will , another time . quinn tells deacon that she is proud of him so go do his thing . she will find a way to reward him . rick calls quinn and says he has a proposition for her if she can drop by . she needs to check her schedule but says she can squeeze him in . he tells pam to cancel , not re - schedule , ivy 's appointment . then wyatt comes in and rick says his timing is impeccable , come on in . pam is shocked when quinn shows up and storms past her into rick 's office . wyatt wonders what is up . rick asks if her old job came up would she be interested . she says absolutely . rick says they will see if they can make that happen .
maya : mmm . it 's nice to see you behind that desk again . rick : [ chuckles ] well , do n't get used to it . they 'll be home soon enough . maya : well , then you 'll have to enjoy it while it lasts . so ? did you hear about the wedding ? rick : not yet . dad said he would call after . you know what they say . no news is good news , right ? [ chuckles ] i 'm sure it 's a wonderful affair , after all . quinn : brooke ... if you 're looking for ridge ... brooke : how big a fool do you think i am ? quinn : it 's not what it looked like . brooke : how long has this been going , this little affair of yours ? quinn : there was never an affair . ridge would never , i would never -- brooke : oh , shut up , quinn ! you do n't even know when you 're lying , do you ? i saw you ! eric : what 's this drink called again ? house special . it 's called a dead man 's drop . eric : uh - huh . really . hmm . ridge : where is everybody ? eric : we are everybody . katie : a big boatload just left with ivy . eric : yeah , liam , steffy , thomas , and sally ii . ridge : and brooke went with them ? katie : no , she would n't leave without you . eric : she did n't catch up with you ? ridge : no , she did n't . quinn : brooke , there is nothing between ridge and me . he 'll tell you himself ! brooke : you 're sick . you 're evil . you 're like a disease that 's come over us one by one . that is it ! your time is done . rick : you got to be kidding me ! well , i guess she 's not afraid of heights . steffy ziplined into the wedding . maya : what ? no ! rick : well , uh , thank you for the update , dad . it sounds like you 're having a great time down there . oh , and , uh , tell mom i 'm thinking about her , that i love her , and hope that everything goes great tomorrow . yeah , of course . take care . maya : okay . hold on . steffy ziplined into the wedding ? rick : well , you know steffy . she 's always got to make her grand entrance , you know , steffy style . maya : that 's why she 's a star . rick : yeah . maybe they 'll ask her to perform the halftime show next year . maya : so ... how was the wedding ? rick : dad said it was beautiful . no drama . maya : that 's good to hear . steffy and liam had their big day , and brooke and ridge are next . how do you feel about that ? rick : i am trying to be supportive . mom deserves some stability , some peace in her life . maya : but can ridge really provide that ? rick : well , is n't that the question of the hour ? i know that they love one another , and there 's r.j . trying to reunite them . i mean , that 's motivation enough for them to get it right this time . maya : but you 're still worried . rick : yeah . why not ? i mean , mom 's been through so much -- almost marrying bill , then back to ridge . you know , it 's like every time she 's on the precipice of getting something that she wants , then some foreign object gets thrown in the way . eric : how much do you think we would miss l.a . if we stayed here ? ridge : i think you 'd miss your house . eric : actually , i think you 're right . when your mom died , at first i thought i would never have a life there again , just a former life , but quinn loves the house so much , it gives me great joy . it feels -- it feels like a home again . ridge : that 's nice to hear you say that . eric : mm . well , i think i 'm about to retreat to the hotel . did you see quinn on the beach ? ridge : probably headed back . eric : huh . bill : you 're the father of the bride . when is that damn shuttle coming to take us back to the hotel ? ridge : why do n't you swim back ? i think you can do it . bill : probably could do it . do n't you have a wedding to rehearse for ? and a loving , trusting woman 's heart to break ? again . quinn : we wished each other well , that 's all . there 's nothing beyond that between ridge and me . brooke : nothing ? quinn : no , it never led to anything more and it never will ! i swear to you ! brooke : and that 's the saddest part of all ! you destroyed two marriages because of nothing ! quinn : no , there 's no reason to destroy anything ! brooke : if you were gon na cheat on eric , did it really have to be with his own son ? did it have to be with the man that i 've loved for most of my life ? ! quinn : no ! there was foolishness and there was carelessness , but there has never been anything like cheating ! brooke : that is for eric to decide . rick : i got to admit , dad sounded good . maya : mm , there 's a lot to be happy about . his granddaughter just got married , zipline and all ... ridge and brooke are next , and all with quinn by his side . rick : husband - to - wife privilege . never to be repeated . maya : okay ... rick : she 's been good for him . maya : [ squeals ] what ? ! rick : i know , i know . maybe quinn really wants what 's best for my dad . maybe i 've been wrong . maybe she wo n't hurt him . quinn : brooke ! wait ! please , do n't tell eric . brooke : why should n't i ? quinn : because he 'll believe you . brooke : i just finished telling him what a loving , loyal wife you 've become . quinn : and i am , and i will continue to be if you just hear me out ! brooke : eric deserves to know , and i 'm gon na tell him the truth . quinn : how , when you do n't even know what it is ! brooke : i know what i saw ! quinn : you saw what you expected to see ! it 's what you feared the most ! ridge has betrayed you before , he 's deserted you without warning ! it 's an experience you know all too well , but that is not what happened here ! brooke : you 're just telling me what did n't happen . you 're denying , denying , denying , and that 's what you do . you have n't changed one bit ! quinn : no ... brooke : you 're married to a man who adores you , and this is how you treat him ? this gives you permission to cheat ? you 're the same monster you 've always been . quinn : fine , brooke ! please ! if you want to know what happened between me and ridge , i will tell you . bill : you see , this is why i hire a personal driver , but you have to go with the shuttle . which supposedly is on its way . ridge : you just called them . give it a minute , bill . katie : i hear the shuttle . bill : finally . hey , eric . you coming ? eric : no , i think better wait for quinn . bill : suit yourself . ridge : i 'll wait with you . eric : all right . did you say you saw quinn on the beach ? ridge : yeah , i -- i did . she was deep in thought . quinn : something happened while you were visiting hope in paris . ridge planned to humiliate me and discredit me with eric . brooke : how ? quinn : it does n't even matter , it never got that far . brooke : he was postponing our wedding in order to get you out of our lives . quinn : i know . he told me that , too . brooke : so what changed his mind ? quinn : i was angry and ... and a little drunk . and i poured my heart out to him . i told him things that i had never told anyone else before , and -- you 're just gon na have to ask him because for some reason , ridge just stopped hating me . and it was such a gift . because it made a reconciliation between him and eric possible . it brought the whole family back together . and ... it allowed me to give my husband something to make up for all the pain that loving me had caused him . i was grateful to ridge . and i still am . brooke : and then you kissed him . tomorrow , here on this beach , was supposed to be the end of anything and everything that felt broken in my life , but i guess i was wrong . quinn : no . you 're not wrong . you do n't have to cancel your wedding tomorrow . brooke , ridge loves you . and only you . brooke : do you really think i 'd get married to a man that you have to explain to me ? after what i saw today , i wo n't have a husband tomorrow , and neither will you . katie : [ laughs ] you can come in , it 's not scandalous . bill : no , no . i , uh ... i have things to do . katie : no , you do n't . you flew halfway around the world to attend a wedding that 's already happened . mini bar 's stocked if you want a drink . bill : no , no . no more alcohol . drinking all day in the sun does not agree with me . katie : well , clearly something does n't . ridge get under your skin ? bill : not really . katie : but brooke certainly has . bill : this is not a good subject for us , katie . katie : oh , come on . who can you talk to and not have to explain everything ? i was sure it would be over by now between those two . katie : they always get back together . their relationship may be precarious , maybe they do n't even understand it themselves , but ... it 's the way they 're wired . bill : well , i 'm not used to not knowing what comes next . katie : you go home . you pick up the pieces . look at me . bill : well , see , maybe you 're tougher than i am in some ways . katie : tougher than dollar bill spencer ? really ? bill : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] they 're gon na be in - laws now . i 'll see them all the time . katie : what 's the alternative ? bill : i do n't know , maybe , uh ... maybe start anew . i can build a brand - new gleaming spencer tower right here in sydney . i mean , i do speak the language , right ? katie : yeah , right . ridge : you want anything ? eric : yeah , my wife . ridge : oh , does she have her phone with her ? eric : well , she probably does , but there 's no reception here . i ca n't get anything . look , if another shuttle comes , hang onto them . have them wait for us , will you ? ridge : sure , sure . and if you run into my bride ... eric : they probably intercepted each other . brooke : i saw things . i noticed things that were a little bit different between the two of you . but i did n't want to believe anything was happening . `` ridge would never ... `` quinn : you 're right . and if you do n't marry him tomorrow , you 'll regret it for the rest of your life . brooke : how could you ? how could do this to eric ? a man who loves you and adores you , the sweetest person in the world . how could you not love him ? i honestly believed that you did . how could you betray him with his own son ? ridge : there 's no reception anywhere , is there ? come on , logan . intercepted each other ... quinn : there was never any betrayal . brooke : no betrayal ? i saw you kissing ridge ! i saw the way he kissed you ! quinn : because it was safe ! it was an impulse that we could give into because it was just foolish ! i knew he was marrying you tomorrow , and he knows that his father is my entire world . brooke : it seemed so easy for you . that was n't the first time , was it ? ridge : dad ! dad ! man , you ca n't hear me ? the shuttle is here . you should take it . eric : no , no , no . quinn will worry . ridge : i 'll find quinn and brooke . come on , you got to be exhausted . i know i am . [ exhales sharply ] eric : all right . you 're a good son . all right , all right . quinn : it happened before , but it was the same . it was just a kiss . that 's all . brooke : and then he came home to me . and he kissed me . made love to me . while thinking of you . quinn : no . no , i am absolutely nothing to ridge . brooke , hate me all you want , but do n't deny yourself and him the future that you have always wanted . please , tell me what i can do . there 's got to be a way to make this right . brooke : no , quinn ! there is nothing you can do ! but i can . by going to eric and telling him how despicably you abused his faith in you . eric : all right . bye ! ridge : all right . i 'll catch up . brooke : eric ! eric , wait ! ridge : hey ! brooke ! what are you doing ? i was looking for you . brooke : why did you have to make me fall in love with you again ? quinn : ridge ! she saw us . ridge : she 's gone after my father . quinn : we ca n't let that happen . taxi ! ridge : you should have seen the look in her eyes . quinn : you can make her understand . ridge : how am i gon na do that ? what the hell is wrong with me ? quinn : brooke loves you . she 'll forgive you . i ca n't see that same look in eric 's eyes , i ca n't . my loyalty -- that 's all he ever talks about . this is gon na destroy him . katie : the wedding was beautiful . bill : it was , was n't it ? i 'm so happy for my son . he waited a long time to get the love of his life back . but he did . it 's a beautiful thing . everything else seems so , uh ... insignificant . katie : careful . bill : not will . and not you . i 'm talking about material things . katie : wow , uh , you were in the sun too long . did it seem weird that brooke and quinn disappeared at the same time ? maybe they ran into each other and discovered that they have something to talk about . eric : sweetheart , hi . i 'm back in the hotel now . i hope you had a good walk on the beach . i know you 're in good hands . i sent ridge to take care of you . i just know how you worry , so , uh , i 'm letting you know i 'm back in room , i 'm fine . i 'll see you when you get back . [ knocks on door ] [ pounding on door ] eric : brooke . are you okay ? brooke : no . no , eric , i 'm not okay . not at all . [ sighs ] something horrible .... horrible is going on , and you need to know about it .	maya tells rick that it is good to see him behind that desk again . he laments not to get too used to it , ridge will be back soon after the wedding . he talks to australia over the phone and then tells maya that steffy zip lined over the wedding site . he also is trying to be supportive of his mother as she deserves some happiness even if it is with ridge . brooke stares quinn down and asks how long this affair has been going on . quinn swears that it is nothing like it looks like . brooke says she is like a disease that has come over them and wo n't go away . eric and katie inform ridge that quinn did not come back and he thought they would hook up . ridge says he saw her but she was deep in thought . bill walks up and snipes that ridge probably has a wedding to rehearse to break another heart . quinn tells brooke there was recklessness and carelessness but nothing like cheating and it is over now . she begs brooke not to tell anyone . brooke says she knows what she saw and she does not like it . brooke tells her she has not changed one bit ; she just denies , denies , denies . quinn begs again and will tell her what really happened . quinn admits that she was lonely and a little drunk and it was a gift , instantly ridge did n't hate her . it brought the whole family back together , something she was grateful for . brooke adds and then there was the kiss . and after what she saw today there will be no husband for her tomorrow but neither will quinn .
brooke : i saw a couple of her dresses in a boutique , and then i asked around until i found her . eric : you were that impressed ? brooke : she 's up - and - coming . she 's not polished , not typically forrester , but we are attracting a younger demographic , thanks to steffy and hope . and sally 's leaving . there 's a spot on the design team ... quinn : hmm . brooke : so i 'm gon na have donna make a packet for you to review . ridge : well , i 'm looking at a few portfolios myself , so ... is that it ? anything else ? quinn : well , i was , um , thinking about the rose gold collection we had a few years ago . i was thinking of bringing it back with some bigger , chunkier pieces , if nobody objects . ridge : why do n't you show me what you have , and we 'll go from there ? quinn : i 'll get on it later this afternoon . right now , i have a lunch date with wyatt . eric : okay . ridge : all right . eric : oh , uh , one more thing . sally 's in the building . she wanted a second to say hello to all of us before she leaves . quinn : [ sighs ] eric : pam , send her in . yeah . so , sally , you all wrapped up ? sally : close , yes , um ... i just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for this opportunity you 've given at forrester .

[ groans ] [ sighs ] finally ! i really need some help with -- hi . flo : what do you need help with ? sally : leaving here is one of the most bittersweet things i think i 've ever had to do . i will forever be grateful for the chance that you took on me . i have had the most amazing time here at forrester . i could easily see my entire career playing out within these walls . brooke : well , it looks like the universe has other plans for you . eric : and we could n't be happier . you 're a wonderful designer . you never should have lost your fashion house to begin with . quinn : i still ca n't believe bill is making it right , though . but he should , so ... good for him , i guess . sally : yeah , well , it 's all thanks to wyatt . designing my own line has always been my dream . but i could n't leave without telling you guys how much it meant to be here . ridge : i think you 're making a mistake . pam : xander , wait ! ridge : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! hey ! hey ! pam : they -- they ran right past me . xander : yeah , sorry , we just -- we heard sally was in here . tiffany : there 's something you need to know right away . sally : um , where did you guys get those ? xander : yeah , uh , zoe and i saw them in the sewing room . tiffany : and i was delivering some design notes while they were there . sally : but those are concepts for my new athletic wear line . i mean , they 're just prototypes . xander : well , that 's why we had to find you . uh , the most amazing thing just happened . wyatt : you did n't happen to pass a temp on the way in here , did you ? flo : i do n't know , what does a temp look like ? wyatt : could n't tell you . they change every day . [ sighs ] flo : let me . [ ringing continues ] [ keypad clicking ] [ ringing stops ] there we go . wyatt : how did you -- flo : old call center trick . wyatt : huh . flo : so , other than being left to fend for yourself , how are you ? wyatt : i -- i 'm , um ... i 'm not so good , actually . my cousin died . flo : what happened ? wyatt : it was just like a sudden blood clot , they said . i do n't know ... flo : oh , my god , i am so sorry . wyatt : yeah . it 's okay . it 's awful . she was just -- she was so young and talented and everything , and a mother to a little boy who does n't know where his mom is now , and it 's messed up . flo : is there anything i can do ? wyatt : no , no . i wish there was , but , no . thank you . i hope you 're not here to say goodbye . flo : no , i 'm , uh -- i do n't think i 'm gon na leave . i like l.a . wyatt : that 's progress . flo : yeah . i , um ... i -- i came here because there 's -- there 's something i need to tell you . ( lisa ) tax reform is complicated , wyatt : you know you can tell me anything , right ? so what 's going on ? flo : should n't you get all those phones that are on hold ? wyatt : what phones ? flo : oh , so if you do n't acknowledge them , then they do n't exist ? wyatt : yeah . exactly . flo : [ chuckles ] wyatt : what did you want to tell me ? i need to know now . flo : um ... just , um , how wonderful it 's been to get to hang out with you again . wyatt : it goes both ways . flo : i could n't be happier for this life that you 've found , and if leaving me is what you had to do to get all of this , then i -- i can make peace with all of that . wyatt : wow . that 's generous , considering the way that i just left you . flo : no , no , i mean , you -- you explained it all , and , um , you know , if you had n't left vegas , you never would have found your father . wyatt : mm - hmm . flo : you never would have had all this success . i mean , it really does blow me away . from where you came to all of this -- this building , this office , this beach house that you have , and your name plastered all over the walls . it 's -- it 's crazy . wyatt : well , i mean , i ca n't -- i ca n't take credit for all of that , you know . dad -- dad built this thing , you know what i mean ? i just kind of walked into it . it 's hard to wrap my head around sometimes . i mean , not only did my father accept me , he , like , embraced me into this world , and just ... sorry , i -- i did n't mean to be so insensitive . flo : what do you mean ? wyatt : well , fathers . like , i -- i have n't forgotten that you know nothing about yours , unless that 's changed . did you -- flo : no , no , no . i -- i would have told you . but , please , do n't censor yourself about that . i -- we do n't all win the dad lottery . wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , i do n't know about that . i mean , it has n't always been easy between dad and me . we do n't see eye to eye on everything sometimes . fundamental stuff , how to live your life type stuff , but he 's changing , and i 've seen a lot of positive results . you know , i 'm feeling pretty good about the future . being back here at spencer , and obviously sally now being on board and everything . flo : you 're really supportive of her , are n't you ? wyatt : well , i mean , yeah . sally 's an amazing woman , an incredible designer . she deserves everything coming her way . especially this reboot of her fashion house here at spencer . xander : zoe has a photo shoot , otherwise , she 'd be here to tell you . ridge : tell us what ? xander : okay , so , zoe , tiffany , and i are having lunch on melrose , when all of a sudden , this huge crowd approaches . tiffany : it was crazy . xander : could n't tell who it was at first because , well , a lot of security , but then ... then she appeared . sally : wait a second , is that ... ? tiffany : uh - huh . sally : [ gasps ] brooke : oh ! wow . quinn : huh . are you kidding me ? eric : i know who this is . quinn : yeah . xander : i mean , we -- we took a selfie with her because , well , we did n't think anybody would believe us without it , but the real news -- okay , okay , so -- so , the reason she came up to us was ... tiffany : she loved the designs . your designs . sally : shut up ! [ laughter ] xander : for real ! especially when she asked where they were from , and we said forrester . she 's about to shoot some huge music video , and she wants to feature your athletic line . on herself and her dancers . quinn : what ? brooke : this is huge ! you ca n't buy that brand awareness ! quinn : no , especially since all of her followers want to dress like her ! i mean , she 's gon na generate insane sales ! xander : yeah , i -- so , we told her the clothes were n't in production yet ... tiffany : that made her want them even more . xander : she wants you to reach out to her stylist . [ cellphone chimes ] um ... yeah , sorry , they need me for a fitting . i -- i hate to interrupt . we just -- we needed to tell you . sally : no ! thank you ! this is crazy . tiffany : congrats again . xander : see ya . sally : [ gasps ] ridge : [ clears throat ] brooke : oh ! sally : did that really just happen ? brooke : this is a great opportunity . ridge : it is great opportunity for us . i do n't want you to leave . i do n't want you to go to spencer . flo : it 's refreshing , you know , seeing a guy so absolutely crazy about his girlfriend . wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , sally checks all the boxes for me . she 's witty and smart , talented . she laughs at my corny jokes . flo : mm . wyatt : she 's , uh , not so bad on the eyes , either . flo : how long have you been together ? wyatt : who 's counting ? you know , we 're just living in the moment , hoping it , uh ... hoping it lasts . flo : you do n't have any plans for the future ? wyatt : no , just taking it day by day . flo : oh , well , it must be a great relationship if you can live together and work together . i mean , that 's great . you guys are very lucky . wyatt : trust me , we know . we are not taking for granted what we have together . flo : so , how did sally , um , get this job here at spencer ? or do i even have to ask ? wyatt : i might have had a little hand in it . flo : mm . okay . wyatt : but she deserves this opportunity . and , trust me , she 's gon na take full advantage of it . eric : all right , quinn 's off to her lunch , but i know she 's very anxious to hear what your decision is , and so am i . ridge : i know you 're already halfway out the door , and i know that there 's an extra bonus waiting for you at spencer because wyatt 's over there . sally : true , yes , but my decision was based off me being able to run my own fashion house . ridge : i know that , and i get that . [ sighs ] you want to have your own version of spectra , but it 's gon na be under the spencer name , and i just think ... you 'd be better off staying here . you 've already proven yourself to this company , and if this crazy little dance that tiffany and xander were doing is any indication ... then you will have any success that you ever dreamed of right here under the forrester label . sally : i -- really , i do n't know what to say . ridge : do n't say anything . i 'm in the middle of pitching something right now . [ laughs ] just -- hey ! my dad , brooke , and i , we 've been designers for a very long time . spencer hasn't . starting a fashion house is a very , very complicated thing to do . eric : many have tried , many have failed . ridge : and , yes , you come with something special . you come with the spectra name . but bill is not gon na let you use it . it 's all gon na be spencer fashions , and the industry does n't care about that , at all . it 's gon na be years before this company makes a dent . so , yeah , you can go over there and you can sit and wait , and hopefully you get a shot , or you can stay here . forrester creations . i mean , this is a worldwide company . an iconic brand . sally : i -- [ sighs ] i 'm flattered , really . i just -- ridge : and we 're gon na sweeten the deal . you can have your own name and all the accolades you deserve . sally : wow . i did not expect this when i came to say goodbye . eric : [ chuckles ] i would very much like for you to stay . you 're a valuable asset to forrester . brooke : you bring something edgy and unpredictable and urban , and we would hate to lose that . ridge : think about the offer . sally : i will . i just -- i have to discuss it with wyatt . ridge : of course . yes . you should do that . sally : [ sighs ] [ telephones ringing ] [ ringing stops ] wyatt : [ chuckles ] flo : do n't you have an assistant ? wyatt : used to . i mean , it was dad 's , mostly , but he shared her with me . unfortunately , the scarily efficient alison has moved on to better opportunities . [ telephones ringing ] leaving us to deal with temps , which , as you can see , has been less than ideal . flo : well , i , uh -- i should probably get going . i 'm obviously keeping you from something important . wyatt : well , just know that my door is always open for you . [ ringing continues ] flo : that 's very sweet . wyatt : promise me that you 're not gon na go anywhere , you know , try to make a life here in l.a . i mean , i 'll help you any way that i can . [ ringing continues ] quinn : where is alison ? ! flo ? flo fulton ? oh , my god ! oh ! it 's so good to see you ! flo : hi , quinn ! hi ! quinn : [ gasps ] why did n't you tell me flo was in town ? wyatt : i -- quinn : [ gasps ] ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : so , you think sally will stay ? eric : you made a good pitch , son . ridge : it 's not about the pitch , dad . i think this is what 's best for sally . and , yeah , starting a new fashion house could be exciting , but bill does n't know what he 's doing . eric : it may be a little more complicated , though , than just whichever deal is the better one . hearts are involved here . if sally turns down the opportunity that wyatt arranged for her at spencer , it could cause a big problem in their relationship . ridge : it 's business . wyatt understands that . brooke : well , i get what eric 's saying . if wyatt is expecting her to come over to spencer and she does n't go ... eric : it could cause problems . it really could . look , i want what 's best for this company , too , but wyatt and sally are really good together . i 'd hate for anything to come between them . flo : it is so great to see you , too , quinn . quinn : i ca n't believe this ! you have been keeping quite a secret ! should i be on the lookout for more ? wyatt : it never came up , mom . quinn : yeah , well , how would it come up if you did n't bring it up ? so , do you live in l.a. now ? flo : i 'm just visiting , no . quinn : how long have you been here ? flo : a couple of months . quinn : yeah , and have you and wyatt been in touch this whole time ? flo : no , no , no . we just recently ran into each other . wyatt : literally . flo : [ chuckles ] quinn : this is incredible . look at you ! flo fulton , you are just a full - grown woman ! you are just as beautiful as ever . you know what , you 're more beautiful than ever . flo : oh , and you look incredible yourself . quinn : well , thank you . my marriage agrees with me . [ laughter ] how 's your mom ? flo : she 's good . she 's good . quinn : i have n't seen her since we left las vegas . we were so close . flo : i know that she missed your friendship a lot . quinn : will you please , please give her my love ? flo : i will , yeah . quinn : so , what about you ? i mean , what -- what brings you to l.a. ? where are you staying ? and do you love l.a . enough to make it a permanent visit ? wyatt : okay , okay . mom -- mom , can we not with the interrogation ? quinn : what ? no , come on ! no , no , no , no , no . i 'm just -- i 'm so excited . i mean , flo , you have always had such a special place in my heart , and i hope you and wyatt have been able to set things straight . flo : we have , yeah . wyatt : yeah . quinn : yeah ? flo : yeah . quinn : you know why we had to leave las vegas the way we did . flo : i do . quinn : he hated it . really , he did . he hated leaving you . he was really mad at me . he froze me out for months and months because he loved you so much . wyatt : okay , mom , can we stop , please , yeah , hmm ? quinn : what ? no ! you know that that 's true ! come on ! he always used to talk about how perfect flo was , how perfect you were as a couple , and that you were convinced that guys would end up getting married someday if fate had n't intervened . wyatt : fate ? oh , okay . i 'd call it more like shady business , but -- quinn : no , no , no , no , no . either way , after all these years and all his other relationships , there has never been anymore more suited for you than flo . [ sighs ] sally : [ scoffs ] wyatt : hello ? sally : hey ! klutzy me . you know , i -- i did n't mean to interrupt . i 'll come back . wyatt : no , no ! no way . flo : i should just get going . quinn : no , no , no , no , no . wyatt : come in . look , mom ... you know sally and i have been seeing each other for several months now . we 've been living together because we care about each other . now , i do n't know how you feel about our relationship ... but i 'd like to think that it 's supportive . and you see how happy sally makes me . all right ? now , maybe you did n't mean to be hurtful , and maybe you did n't know that the things that you were saying were completely disrespectful to my relationship with sally . so i 'm gon na need you to apologize to her . quinn : [ sighs ] wyatt : i mean it , mom ! apologize . now !	sally 's in the building so eric tells brooke , ridge and quinn that she 'd like to say hi before quinn goes to meet wyatt for lunch . she tells them she just wanted to tell them how much working here meant to her . quinn can not believe bill is not doing more to get her started . wyatt is having a hard time answering the phones in the office when suddenly flo walks in . she asks how he is and is sorry to hear about his cousin , caroline . then she says she has something to tell him but hesitates and mentions his dad . he gets around to his father not only accepting him but embracing him by introducing him to this world . then he apologizes as he knows she knows nothing about her father . she quips that everyone does not win the father lottery . xander and tiffany rush in to say hello or goodbye to sally and gush that they were stopped on the streets by a lady who absolutely had to know where they got their clothes from . she liked their athletic wear and wanted to know where she could get them to add to her own line . she would need them now to get on line . ridge knows they are not in production yet and says this would be a great opportunity for them . he does not want her to join spencer publications . he does not know what he is doing .
faux brooke : it 's good to see you , ridge . [ scene_break ] darla : you 're awful quiet tonight . thorne : i was just thinking about my mother . i could have lost her . but helen 's gone instead . and now gabriela , who is a teenager , is without a mother . darla : we can all help gabriela get through this . you know , she does n't have to be alone . thorne : ah , darla , life can be so fleeting , you know . darla : i know . thorne : my mother could be gone now . or you . or our little girl . i never want to take anything for granted , not one single moment . darla : oh , sweetie , you do n't . i have never felt more appreciated in my entire life . and i 'm so grateful for what we have . and , you know , i really see it when i look at other people 's relationships . thorne : ridge and brooke ? darla : they always seem like they 're in the middle of a crisis . you know , just breaking up , getting back together . thorne : they always do get back together , though . darla : yeah , but i thought that they were past this . they 've been getting along so well . and for ridge to just leave her like this -- thorne : i do n't know what 's going on with my brother . [ scene_break ] morgan : please , brooke , come in . ridge : brooke . faux brooke : morgan 's told me about your concussion . i 'm sorry that you were hurt , and i wish that we did n't have to do this . but let 's just settle this once and for all . ridge : i have so many questions . i know things went wrong between us , but i have to believe that whatever happened , we can work it out . faux brooke : no , ridge , we ca n't . i have nothing in my heart for you . for us . this relationship is dead . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] nick : ah ! ah , no ! no , no , no , no , no . no .

[ scene_break ] thorne : you know , none of it makes any sense . no matter how hurt or angry ridge is , i know my brother . he 's not someone to turn his back and just walk away from a problem . darla : well , then where is he ? thorne : look , all i 'm saying is , if he 's not calling , then there 's a good reason . darla : i hope you 're right . you know , it 's amazing . everything that you and ridge have been through lately , it would be so easy for you not to come to his defense . thorne : i 'm just supporting my brother . darla : well that 's admirable of you , thorne . just one more reminder of what a wonderful man you are , and how lucky i am to be married to you . thorne : i 'm the lucky one . i have you and your support . darla : you know , i just ca n't help but wondering , who 's gon na be there to support brooke . nick : seriously . you know me . i wear a lot of different hats . you 've seen most of them . i could be hope 's goofy chauffeur . hmm ? i make great boxed lunches . you know what else i do ? i take those cookies and i crumble them up over the vanilla ice cream and a little hot fudge over it . come on , die for that . you know what else i could teach her ? how to put a worm on a hook . brooke : hope would love that . nick : hey . kids are resilient . she knows she 's loved . it 's just the situation . brooke : the situation should n't be happening . i believe in ridge . i really do . but he 's gone , nick . i wake up in the night and he 's not beside me in the bed . my insecurities -- i just keep fighting them . and telling myself not to lose faith . nick : you ca n't . you can never do that . brooke : hector came by earlier and he gave me some encouragement . he told me never to give up . i really do n't know what ridge is going through , but hector was right . until i know the complete truth , i ca n't assume anything . i wo n't assume anything . i just need to talk to him myself . and i need to hear his voice . he 's been gone so long . i mean , what could be keeping him away ? why has n't he come home ? [ scene_break ] ridge : what did i do to you ? faux brooke : you 're lucky that you ca n't remember . at least you do n't have to re - live it . maybe it 's your guilt kicking in for all the things that you 've ruined . ridge : brooke , i 've obviously hurt you really badly . but i 'm sorry . ca n't we just -- faux brooke : no ! forget it , ridge . forget about us . god knows i have . ridge : oh , do n't tell me there 's nothing there , because i can feel it . i can feel somewhere someone needs me . i have this responsibility . i can feel that in my gut . faux brooke : you 're wrong about me and about us . please , just let me go . ridge : what about our kids ? faux brooke : we do n't have any children . see , that 's something else we could never agree on . here , take this . i do n't want it . stay here with morgan . you 're better off . ridge : no , i do n't believe it . i do n't believe a word out of your mouth .

[ scene_break ] dr. ramirez : so much to live for . your son . family who loves you . [ dr. ramirez sighs ] you can do this , felecia . i 'm gon na help you . we 'll do it together .

[ stephanie sighs ] stephanie : you wo n't understand . eric : well , then explain it to me ! because the fact is i do n't understand . i do n't get any of this . the fact is , nothing you 've done since felecia died makes any sense at all .

[ knocking on the door ] hello ? look who 's home . dante : hey . god , i missed you so much , dino . papa missed you so much . bridget : dino ? dante : that 's his nickname . he likes it so much . bridget : that 's really cute . dante : come on . my boy , my boy . what happened ? what did you do ? what have you been doing ? bridget : wow , you really missed him , huh ? dante : more than i knew . bridget : yeah , i know what you mean . dante : you too ? bridget : it 's crazy , when i 'm at the hospital or even at home -- just out at all , he 's always on my mind .

[ bridget laughs ] bridget : you know , forrester does have a daycare program if you did want to go into work today . dante : i 'll look into that . but right now it 's really important for him to spend a lot of time with you . bridget : i agree , but you may not want to be without him again after what happened last night . dante : maybe , but he needs to be with you , too . bridget : i 've been thinking a lot about that . i 've also been thinking about how well we got along when you were living with me . awesome team , did n't we ? bridget : yeah , we did . i know this sounds crazy and just stop me if i start rambling on but -- well , i do n't think i 'm gon na be satisfied just being a part time parent . and i really do n't think that that 's fair to do to dino either . like you said , he deserves to have both parents in his life . so i was thinking it would just be easier if i moved in here with you . i know that 's presuming a lot , especially after what happened last time , you know ? you get settled in my place and then i ask you to leave . why would you want to open up your home to -- you know what ? do n't feel bad about saying `` no . `` i get it . dante : i did n't . bridget : what ? dante : you know , i have a spare room that i use as an office . you can take it . it 's all yours . bridget : are you sure ? dante : am i sure ? you know , maybe someday i 'll get my office back . but right now , having you under this roof , it 'd be really good for me and dino . bridget : thanks . thank you so much ! dante : thank you . it was your idea . bridget : not just for that . thanks for everything . thank you so much for letting me be such a huge part of his life . dante : look , it 's been pretty hard , you know , losing felecia . especially for him , you know ? but i 'm starting to get the feeling that maybe things are gon na be all right .

( groans ) thomas : ( sighs ) come on . give me a break . what happened on that plane , it was n't about seduction . steffy : apparently , dad does n't agree , so ... thomas : well , he 's out of line . steffy : and you were n't ? thomas : do you honestly believe i have any romantic interest in brooke ? steffy : romantic ? no . sexual ? definitely . she 's got two legs , nice body , provocative look . you fall for that every time . thomas : wow , it 's good to know that you see me as a man with a lot of depth . steffy : i just know you . thomas : brooke is a beautiful woman , but she 's not my type , steff . i -- we 're a great team . that 's as far as it goes . steffy : well , dad still is n't convinced . thomas : i am through trying to convince dad . it told him it was innocent and that i should n't have done it and that brooke had nothing to do with it . but he still takes this hard line . steffy : how in the world can you fault him for that ? thomas : because he is ridge forrester , not some insecure middle - aged flunky . steffy : oh , my god . thomas : come on . if i would have thought dad would have reacted like this , brooke never would have been a part of the campaign . trust me . dad is the one who wanted her involved in the first place . steffy : okay , so now he 's in paris making decision about his wife and his son 's brilliant collection , which could have been so easily avoided ... thomas : ( sighs ) steffy : if you just controlled your impulses . thomas : no , steffy , it could have been avoided if he showed me a little bit more trust and respect .

[ scene_break ] taylor : ridge , the only thing you should be concerned about right now is our son . ridge : i am , but he has to be accountable for what he did . taylor : yes , for kissing your wife , who did nothing at all to prevent that . in fact , she wanted it kept a secret from you . ridge : what he did was intercept my memo ending taboo , and then he held a press conference saying he was expanding the line . taylor : yes , a press conference your wife took part in , and she could have prevented that . ridge : yeah , she said there 'd be no more secrets , no more scandals . taylor : i do n't know how you can ever believe anything she says . how can you trust her ? ( knock on door ) taylor : ( sighs ) brooke : ( sighs ) what are you doing here ? taylor : i flew here with ridge . brooke : why ? stephanie : because they have a serious issue with their son . hello , honey . ridge : hi , mother . how was the plane ride ? get some sleep , some rest ? stephanie : i tried .

( sighs ) things could be over between him and me . i 've worked my butt off to get where i am . and i 'm not just gon na give it up , especially for some stupid kiss . whatever he decides today , i just -- i hope he knows that it could affect our future . i do n't want to fight him . i do n't want to lose him . but if he destroys everything i 've worked so hard for , i ...

[ scene_break ] brooke : may i say something before we begin ? stephanie : it 's a little late for lobbying , brooke . brooke : well , that 's exactly what taylor 's been doing . taylor : i am here because i am concerned about my son . brooke : we 're all concerned about thomas . stephanie : so we 're all here to discuss it . what 's the problem ? brooke : ridge came here originally to deal with a big business issue with the company , and to spend some very much - needed time alone . did you ask taylor to come here with you ? taylor : no , he did not . i came to the airplane because i thought it was thomas who was leaving . but then ridge and i started talking . and we are parents . and we decided we needed to deal with a very serious family crisis , no thanks to you . ridge : we needed time to discuss it , brooke . brooke : ( clears throat ) ridge : the plane ride gave us that time . i 'm actually glad that taylor was on the flight . stephanie : was it productive ? ridge : yes , mother , it was . stephanie : i 'm guessing it had to do with , uh , brooke and tom and what they did . brooke : what we did was rescue a big part of forrester creations ' profit margins . taylor : ( scoffs ) ridge : all right . stop . stop . stop . look . i 've made a decision . i want you to hear it , because it involves all three of you . stephanie : well , brooke , i think ridge has something he wants to tell you . tell her . ridge : mother , taylor , i , uh , need some time alone with brooke , okay ? taylor : okay , yeah , uh , we 'll go over to my room , and we 'll wait . stephanie : okay . brooke : i 'm glad you had a chance to talk to taylor so that you can understand all sides to this . ( sighs ) ridge , i know that i upset you , and i hurt you because i sided with your son instead of you . but i would do it all over again if i had the chance . your relationship with your son was at stake . i could n't just stand by and watch you destroy that . you would have been very hurt . you would have regretted it . now i did n't come here to beg for your forgiveness or plead for your understanding . what i did was out of my love for you . i know that stephanie and taylor are over there , and they think that you 're ending our marriage right now . but i - i am hoping that that is not the case . i know you asked me here to tell me something , and i would like to know what that is .	taylor does n't stay on the jet and ends up in ridge 's hotel room . over the phone she tells whip that she has her own room . he 's still not happy that she is half way around the world with her ex . brooke and stephanie are on another plane to paris as well . stephanie does n't want to speak and rues the day she ever trusted brooke had changed . ridge asked them to come as there is something he has to do . steffy is amazed at thomas 's new designs . they end up talking about the brooke kiss . he says his dad should have given him more love and respect . brooke is not his type to be romantic with . it was an innocent kiss . meanwhile taylor tells ridge that subconsciously or not , brooke uses her obvious power and attraction over men . brooke tells stephanie that she did n't say anything about the kiss as she did not want to start a battle over something so innocent . stephanie says maybe they can be friends again someday , but not until she divorces ridge . she does not want someone so disruptive in the family .
brooke : mm . ridge : ( sighs ) oh , thank you . i needed that . brooke : you 're worried about hope for the future . ridge : among other things . i 'm letting your son have a little fashion preview out on the showroom bridge . brooke : i did n't know he was working on intimates . ridge : he is n't it seems kind of pointless with steffy in aspen . i told her she could put the kibosh on his involvement , not that he really minds -- gives him more time to spend on his own line . brooke : how did he come up with the other designs ? i certainly hope he 's not working with amber again . ridge : well , he knows how much we both disapprove , but rick pretty much does whatever he damn well wants . if he does plan on bringing amber around here again , i think i might pull the line . brooke : let 's not do anything rash . rick has some really good ideas . he just needs somebody suitable to work with ... and it 's not amber . that girl is just trouble . [ scene_break ] rick : hey . this is kind of a public place . what are doing standing in front of the showroom ? amber : i know . i - i 've been trying to be inc -- incognito , rick , but it 's just so hard . you know , i 'm -- i 'm so proud of our designs , and i 'm so excited about the preview . so this is where you want to have it , right here on the bridge ? rick : yeah , you like ? amber : ( sighs contentedly ) let 's celebrate tonight . rick : celebrate ? amber : yes . eric forester jr. 's huge success . ( giggles ) [ scene_break ] ridge : it irritates me that rick 's really pushing forward with this line , which at best , was supposed to be experimental . brooke : his first designs tested really well . ridge : amber 's designs , you mean . brooke : no , they were his designs , his concepts . amber just sketched them . anyway , we need to find somebody new that he can collaborate with . i 've been looking at designers , and i think i 've found the ideal person . ridge : who ? brooke : well , somebody young and talented , female . ridge : well , that would be a good distraction for him . brooke : look at this design . ridge : she 's good . what 's her name ? brooke : caroline spencer . brooke : i 'm serious . it 's caroline , karen 's daughter . [ scene_break ] caroline : i see you lied . karen : did i ? caroline : about going to paris . i know what the ocean looks like . ( laughs ) karen : i merely failed to correct you . it 's not the same as lying . caroline : oh , you and your surprises . i hope i packed right . i did n't bring a swimsuit . karen : they sell them on every corner in l.a . caroline : l.a. ? karen : yea . now i know the pale look is in , sweetheart , but you could use a little sunshine . caroline : i might die of boredom . mom , you said that this was gon na be a vacation . are you dragging me on one of your business trips ? karen : actually , you 're dragging me on one of yours . i got a call from someone in a top fashion house who saw your sketches and wants to meet you . caroline : seriously ? why did n't you tell me ? ( laughs ) karen : well , you know me and my little surprises . caroline : monique lhuillier ? karen : no . caroline : a top fashion house in l.a ... forrester creations ? karen : as soon as we land , you , my darling , have a meeting with brooke logan . caroline : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] ridge : caroline spencer . brooke : somebody with obvious talent , somebody who would complement rick and fit in perfectly at forrester creations -- the complete opposite of amber moore . [ scene_break ] rick : you should go before someone realizes that you 're here . amber : okay . so , um , tonight 's good for you ? a little celebration , just the two of us ? rick : yeah , sure . shoot . amber : okay , bye . bye . marcus : i would do the same thing as you , you know . thomas : i would never do the same thing . oliver : oh , i do n't know about that , man . marcus : okay , i 'm just sayin ' . yo , rick , what 's up ? checking out the location ? rick : yeah . thomas : ( clears throat ) oliver : it 's a pretty cool place for a show . rick : i think it 'll work . thomas : must be nice , having this preview , and you 're not even a designer . meanwhile , ca n't even mention taboo . rick : yeah , thomas , it is nice , but it really has nothing to do with my line thomas : no , i know . i 'm just saying , it 's kind of funny , right ? i mean , when i design , i do n't have to go to amber to draw my sketches . marcus : hey , okay . guys , look , i 'm pretty sure it was just an idea to get things going , okay ? and besides , rick 's not amber moore . thomas : want to bet ? [ scene_break ] ridge : she 's got quite a range . brooke : exciting , is n't it ? ridge : something about it feels right -- caroline , here with us . let 's hope we like her . brooke : ( chuckles ) how could we not ? i could hear the pride in karen 's voice when i talked to her over the phone . and i 'll bet that caroline is a lot like her aunt in more ways than just her name . ridge : look at the detail in this one . it 's very nice . brooke : she could really be the one to bring rick 's concepts to life . talented , intelligent , gorgeous -- just the kind of girl i always wanted for rick . [ scene_break ] karen : honey , you 've met katie , right ? caroline : mm - hmm , last fall . she came to new york with uncle bill . remember ? karen : ohh . caroline : i recommended my friend 's restaurant . you all complained about the noise . karen : oh , yeah . well , if you ca n't carry on a conversation , what 's the point ? caroline : ( chuckles ) karen : let 's let bill pick . bill : what am i picking ? karen : oh ! ( chuckles ) hi . uh , a place to eat , if you and katie are available tonight . bill : you 're in town ? karen : about to be . we 're gon na land in just a minute . i 'm with caroline . bill : who ? karen : your niece . bill : oh . yeah , yeah , yeah . um , d - do we have business i 'm forgetting ? karen : ca n't i just come to visit my favorite brother ? bill : i suppose . karen : actually , i 'm here for caroline . she has a meeting with brooke . bill : logan ? karen : well , you know i told you caroline wants to get into fashion . bill : so this is some kind of favor ? karen : oh , no . no . brooke called me specifically , because she wanted to meet her . she saw some of her sketches . uh , why do n't i give you a call when we 're settled in ? bill : okay . ahh . katie : hey . you 're not going in to the office today ? bill : eventually . katie : ( sighs ) bill : i 've already accomplished more this morning than most people do in a week , so ... no reason to rush in . katie : oh . mm . mm . ( chuckles ) bill : do we have dinner plans ? katie : uh , not that i know of . bill : well , we do now . guess who 's in town ? katie : hmm ... caroline spencer ? [ scene_break ] rick : yeah , amber helped me . so what ? i do n't draw . i do n't pretend to draw . we 're all gon na benefit from the sales . you should just be appreciative that we have anything to show , after everything our company has gone through the last few months . oliver : speaking of the show , uh , do -- do you want to talk about the music ? rick : yeah , this afternoon , my office , all right ? oliver : okay , cool . marcus : uh , yeah , um , thomas , do you want to show me where the changing area 's gon na be ? thomas : yeah , come on . marcus : okay -- rick : you know , actually , i do n't like that over there . i think we 'll have a much better opportunity to set the lights over here . thomas : ( scoffs ) whatever , man . it 's your preview . oliver : ( chuckles ) marcus : ( chuckles ) amber : wow , that was close . rick : yeah , yeah . we have to be more careful . amber : i know . i know . i 'll stay away . hey , um , thank you for what you said about me to thomas . i wish your family could understand . i 'm not some big , bad menace . they do n't have to foam at the mouth every time they see me , you know ? i mean , jeez . i just -- i just want to help . rick : i know . [ scene_break ] ridge : not anymore . bill : so you knew she was coming . katie : yeah , brooke says she 's really excited to meet caroline . bill : this is some kind of job interview ? katie : kind of . i know she 's looking for a new designer . i think it would be great to have caroline in town . i 'd love to get to know her better . bill : well , as long as she does n't expect me to be , uh , a babysitter . i mean , i hardly know the girl . and i do n't have the time or the desire to keep her out of trouble . katie : ( sighs ) well ... bill : it 's enough for me looking after my son . katie : something tells me that caroline is not a whole lot of trouble . bill : well , we 'll see about that . and you know what i mean , anyway . i - it 's another person to invite over for christmas . it 's an -- it 's another birthday to remember . i hate this . katie : i know , it 's awful . it 's just awful . bill : ( sighs ) yeah . it will be good for liam , though . i mean , he does n't know his cousin . he missed out on a lot growing up the way he did . katie : same as you . i think it 'd be a great thing for all of us . and do n't worry -- i 'll remember the birthdays . ( squeals ) ( giggles ) [ scene_break ] karen : buckle up , sweetheart . we 're about to land . ( seat belt clicks ) caroline : i thought i saw smog out there . karen : caroline , if brooke logan likes you as much as she likes your designs , you realize this could be your new home . caroline : it seems a shame to come all the way out to l.a. to get into fashion . i mean , we live in new york , the center of the industry . karen : but how many people can say they got their start at forrester creations ? caroline : i like the sound of that . ( chuckles ) karen : and your uncle 's out here . he will keep an eye on you . caroline : oh , did he arrange this ? is that why brooke logan likes my designs so much ? karen : no , absolutely not . caroline : he owns part of the company . he 's married to her sister . karen : yeah , well , i seriously doubt that has anything to do with it . brooke called me personally to talk about you . she saw your designs , and she was really impressed . honey , you are such a gifted designer . she was excited . i could hear it in her voice . okay ? so smile ? pretend like you love l.a . caroline : ( laughs ) karen : this could be a huge opportunity . [ scene_break ] ridge : amber , what the hell are you doing here ? amber : um , rosey -- i handed rosey off . brooke : oh , well , that 's funny . we just saw marcus , and he did n't seem to have her . amber : well , uh , her diaper bag . i mean -- ridge : you 're not welcome here , and you know it . rick : i really do n't see why it 's a problem for amber to work with me . ridge : 'cause she 's supposed to be invisible , rick . she 's not supposed to show her face . i do n't want to see her around here at all ! rick : we work well together . she 's a great designer . i know that that 's hard to understand , given our history , but people change . amber changed . she 's a mother now . she 's got other priorities , and frankly , she 's good for me . brooke : rick , i want you to have this line , and i 'm so happy that you 're designing and you 're succeeding , but not with amber . ridge : you need to cut the ties . amber : this is so unfair ! no , i hardly have anything to do with this . this is rick 's designs . it 's his concepts . brooke : right . that 's why he does n't need you . he could work well with any designer , and i think i have somebody in mind . amber : what ? brooke : rick needs somebody to collaborate with , and i found the perfect woman . i 'm sorry , amber . you 're being replaced . [ scene_break ] katie : mm . ( giggles ) bill : mm . katie : we 're never getting out of bed , are we ? bill : mm , it is a good idea . katie : mm . bill : hide in bed all day , avoid dinner with my sister . katie : oh , come on . i know you love spending time with karen . i know you do . bill : yeah , funny . you know , i used to be able to tolerate her when we only talked about business , but now , since you 've come along , she wants to know how i am , how i 'm feeling . katie : i know . it 's awful . bill : i mean , wh - wh - why -- why could n't you be like a normal wife and hate my family ? katie : no , there 's no fun in that . bill : mm . katie : i love karen , and i 've only met caroline briefly ... bill : ( sighs ) katie : but she seems like a lovely , sophisticated girl . and she 's living up to her namesake . bill : well , from what i know -- and that is n't much -- she does seem to be living up to the legacy . katie : mm - hmm . ( chuckles ) god , it 's so crazy that brooke ... ( chuckles ) is asking caroline spencer for help . bill : all right , all right , wh - what 's the deal ? what 's the deal ? th - there 's more going on here than just a job interview . katie : maybe . bill : katie ? katie : hmm ? okay , well , brooke wants her to work on some very specific designs with rick . bill : why ? katie : because if caroline is working with rick , then amber is n't . bill : ( inhales deeply ) ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] amber : you think you can replace me ? rick : that 's not gon na happen , mom . i do n't have to explain things to amber . she knows what i want before i say it . amber : yea , because of our history . i mean , good or bad , no other designer could manage that . brooke : i do n't want you working here , period . amber : ( sighs ) whatever , `` stephanie . `` brooke : excuse me ? amber : that 's who you 're acting like -- stephanie , trying to control your son -- who he hangs out with , bossing him around . brooke : i just want him to work with somebody a little more appropriate , that 's all . amber : well , rick wants to work with me , okay ? he trusts and believes in me . i mean , why ca n't you guys just accept that i 'm a better person now ? ridge : because it 's not true . it 'll never be true . brooke : you are who you are , amber . amber : trash from furnace creek , hmm ? like i said , `` stephanie . `` [ scene_break ] marcus : i - i 'm just saying that there 's more to life than work . you need to get yourself a woman , man . thomas : i know .

brooke : i 'm glad to hear from you . i was worried after our talk last night . bill : well , even i have the occasional bad moment . thanks for listening . brooke : feeling better , then ? bill : well , katie 's and my issues have n't magically disappeared , but we 're gon na work it out . how about you ? ready for the big day ? brooke : oh , gosh . i feel like i fell down a rabbit hole . it 's been a while since a press conference has been about me . but you 'll be there , right ? bill : oh , yeah . leaving in a few . brooke : why do n't you bring katie ? might be a good distraction for her . [ door opens ] bill : i 'll mention it to her . katie : hard at work ? bill : press conference for brooke 's bedroom is today . katie : hmm . bill : i 'd like it if you joined me , katie . katie : oh , no . no , i 'm not going to any press conference , and neither are you . [ scene_break ] caroline : you still think i 'm sexy ? rick : you have to ask ? caroline : i do n't know . you did n't seem exactly enthusiastic last night . i mean , there i was , standing in awesome , expensive lingerie , and you kicked me out of your house . that 's not how it 's supposed to be , rick . rick : i 'm sorry . i 've been preoccupied . i 've got a lot riding on this relaunch . caroline : is that all ? rick : well , what else ? caroline : that girl -- mariah ? rick : maya , and can we not get into that again ? brooke 's bedroom 's about to slam into production . i 've got to stay focused .

[ scene_break ] eric : thanks for being here . i know you 're not particularly happy with the relaunch of this line . taylor : i think it 's a colossal waste of time , money , and resources . i also think you 'll regret that you gave it the go - ahead , but you did , we 're doing it , and i 'm here to support you . eric : well , i appreciate that . there 's another reason i 'm glad you 're here . taylor : and why is that ? eric : i 'm gon na make an announcement of my own about us .

[ door closes ] taylor : expecting someone else ? brooke : you 've come to wish me well ? taylor : just checking in . brooke : i 'm not hiding bill behind the desk , if that 's what you 're wondering . taylor : well , maybe he wo n't come . maybe katie was able to make him realize his presence here would be completely inappropriate . brooke : bill has a stake in the success of this company . taylor : bill has a stake in you , brooke . if katie 's smart , she 'll keep him away . [ scene_break ] bill : i 'm a minority shareholder in forrester . the relaunch of brooke 's bedroom was my idea . i 'm happy for your sister , and i 'm going to be there to support her . katie : bill , you run a multibillion - dollar conglomerate . your 12 % of forrester means nothing . you do n't need to be there to see brooke parading around in her underwear .

[ scene_break ] maya : when i first met rick , i did n't know he was in a relationship . caroline : but it did become clear at some point , did n't it ? what kind of a woman continues to pursue a man after she finds out that he 's involved with someone else ? i 'll say it . a loser ex - con who 's just trying to get as much as she can while she can . maya : that 's not true . caroline : which part ? maya : i went to prison for a crime i did n't commit . caroline : is n't that what they all say ? `` i 'm innocent . i was framed . `` whatever . the point is , you do n't have a place in rick 's life . maya : and you get to decide that ? caroline : i really do n't want to hurt your feelings , but sometimes the truth has to be said , even when it 's harsh . i move easily in rick 's world because it 's my world , too . you , however , make stupid decisions that land you in prison . i have founded a charity that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help fight cancer . i have traveled the world . i speak three languages . rick can take me anywhere . you he hides in this dumpy little diner . does n't that tell you all you need to know ? [ scene_break ] pam : hey . rick : hey . where 's my mom ? what 's that look for ? pam : brooke 's in , um ... eric 's office . donna : and they 've been in there for a while . pam : she 's with taylor .

[ applause ] [ camera shutters clicking ] [ reporters murmuring ] brooke : [ chuckles ] i just want to tell you all i 'm very thankful that you 're here , and i 'm not gon na take up too much of your time . i 'm very grateful to eric , the c.e.o . of this company , for giving us the green light . and , of course , rick -- you all know him as my son -- for being the president of forrester creations and putting all of his expertise and his talent in the relaunch of brooke 's bedroom . danica : well , if the piece that you are wearing is any indication of what 's to come , i think that forrester has got a sure winner . brooke : that is the plan . all right , no questions . jarrett : oh , just one , please . do n't you feel self - conscious and exposed ? i mean , a woman of your age dressing publicly in lingerie . brooke : no , i do n't really feel self - conscious . and my motto is `` the more exposed , the better . `` [ laughter ] brooke : no , really , i think you guys are gon na enjoy the preview , and it 's gon na be ready very soon , so thanks for being here once again . [ applause ] eric : thank you all very much for coming . good job . oh , and while you 're here , i just want to take advantage of the moment . i have an announcement of my own to make . [ reporters murmuring ] [ scene_break ] maya : caroline , you do n't know me . you walk in here , you basically call me a worthless lowlife . that 's not who i am . i 'm a woman on her own doing the best that she can . have i made mistakes ? yes . i 've hooked up with the wrong people , but i 'm doing better now . i have dreams and aspirations just like anyone else . caroline : oh , you mean the actress / singer / model type ? you and about a million other girls that come to l.a. and realize that their talents are n't that great , so they latch on to some rich guy . just know that the rich guy that you want to latch on to is n't gon na be mine . you have a nice day now . [ scene_break ] eric : rumors are the lifeblood of your business , and so -- well , i 'd like to take this opportunity to go on record and say that dr. taylor hayes and i are living together , and i could n't be happier . [ reporters murmuring ] eric : come on . [ camera shutters clicking ] danica : i assume this is a new relationship ? eric : i 've known taylor hayes for a very long time , and since my wife passed away , she and i have become very , very close , and i 'm very grateful for that . danica : any plans to be the new mrs. forrester ? jarrett : when did miss hayes move in ? [ indistinct shouting ] [ scene_break ] dayzee : she 's right , you know ? caroline and rick are in a committed , exclusive relationship since long before you got here . she 's rick 's girlfriend , maya . you need to accept it , and you need to leave rick alone . [ scene_break ] donna : hi . just wanted to give you the all clear . the press is gone . rick : thank you , donna . donna : you 're welcome . [ scene_break ] katie : where 's your phone ? brooke : what ? katie : your phone -- where is it ? brooke : uh ... it 's right here . katie : is n't this what got you in trouble with ridge ? because i got to tell you , i 'm not too keen on it , either . brooke : i do n't know what you 're talking about . katie : inappropriate texts . listen -- my husband runs spencer publications . he 's not involved in your little lingerie line . i 'm sorry that it 's come to this , but i do n't like what 's happening . so i want you to stay away from bill -- no texting , no talking to him , no communicating with him whatsoever . do i make myself clear ?	brooke gets a phone call from bill . she is glad to hear from him as she was worried about him last night . he confesses that he occasionally has a bad moment and thanks her for her listening to him . she says it 's been a while since she 's had a press conference all about her , but she 's ready for it and wants him to be there . she 'd like him to invite katie as she could use the distraction . not overly enthusiastic , he says he will mention it to her . it does n't take long as katie walks in the door to his office . she informs him that she is not going to any press conference and neither is he . caroline flirts with rick and asks if he still thinks she is sexy . he says she does n't have to ask that . she says she does as he did n't seem too into it last night . there she was standing in some awesome , exquisite , expensive lingerie and he threw her out of his house . he apologizes and says he was pre - occupied as this re - launch means so much . she thought perhaps it was because of mariah . he corrects her , it 's maya . pam tells donna that brooke is a little long in the tooth to be having this press conference with her parading around in her underwear . donna pretends that she does n't know what brooke 's teeth have to do with it . she 's still gorgeous . eric tells taylor that he is glad she is here as he knows she does n't have her heart in this re - launch . she admits that she thinks it is a colossal waste of time and money and that he did n't take the time to really think it through , but she is there to support him . he says and there is another reason ; he 's going to make another announcement about them living together . caroline marches into dayzee 's and walks up to maya and calls her maria . maya corrects her and caroline says whatever , she does n't care but maya needs to stay away from her man . maya explains that when she met rick that she did not know he was in a relationship . caroline says now she does . no woman except a loser ex - con who is looking to get something would pursue him now . even if she proclaims her innocent in going to prison , that is what they all say , the point is she does not have a place in ricks life now . maya wonders if that is caroline 's place to make that call . caroline turns up her attitude and says she really does n't want to hurt her but sometimes the truth must be told even if it is harsh . she says she moves easily in rick 's world because that is her world too . she has founded a charity that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help fight cancer . she has traveled the world ; she speaks three languages . rick can take her anyplace . he hides maya in this dinky little diner . that should tell her something . taylor goes to brooke 's office and says she is just checking in . brooke says if she is looking for bill , he 's not under her desk . taylor says if he is smart , perhaps he wo n't come at all . maybe katie has been able to make him understand it would be inappropriate to be there . brooke justifies that bill has a stake in the company . taylor corrects her and says bill has a stake in brooke . and all the more reason for katie to keep him away . brooke laments that she knows taylor ran straight to katie when she saw her and bill together . taylor could not wait to make katie angry at her . taylor offers that she should be , after finding her rolling around on the bed , giggling and swilling champagne . brooke says taylor is one to talk . after only five minutes of stephanie dying , there was taylor making a pass at eric , moving into his house and stephanie 's bed . taylor sees nothing wrong with them being together as they are n't hurting anyone . brooke can not say the same for herself . brooke tells her to go get a life . taylor says she does and she is reveling in it .
brooke : i ca n't just let ridge go . bill : why not ? brooke : [ chuckling ] well , if you understood our history , you would n't -- bill : oh , i understand your history . i understand your history better than you do . i can cut through the bs . brooke : bill . bill : he treats you like garbage . i mean , is that what you think love is ? a guy who floats in and out of your life , takes what he wants , and leaves ? that 's what happened with your father , brooke . he was here and he was gone and he was here and he was gone . and that 's why you 're so messed up . that 's why you think ridge is your destiny . brooke : it has nothing to do with that . bill : it has everything to do with it . but you do n't need him anymore because you have me . and i 'm not going anywhere . you know it as well as i do . i 'm holding out for you . brooke : you should n't . bill : come upstairs with me . we can work this out . let me spend the night .

[ scene_break ] bill : we 're so close , brooke . brooke : no . bill : yes . to having it all . brooke : you should n't want that with me . bill : katie 's with ridge now . what 's holding us back ? ca n't you feel what 's happening ? the wait is over . we can be together . we do n't have to feel guilty about anything . we could have everything we talked about -- raise our children , i get control of my company again . brooke : how are you gon na do that ? bill : i 'll talk to my sister . i 'll figure it out . everything happened for a reason -- ridge coming back , falling for katie . it happened for us . i have been biding my time , waiting for a chance to strike and take my life back . everything has been at my fingertips -- you , my son , my company . and now it 's within my grasp . but it starts with you . first thing we do once i get my company back -- brooke : bill , please . bill : we fly to monte carlo , hop on my yacht , and relive our kiss on the stella maris ii . ii brooke : i am not flying to monte carlo with you . bill : i know you want to . i can see it in your eyes . i 'm not a man who begs . i 'm not accustomed to that kind of humility , but i will . i will for you . remember who we are and everything we can be . brooke : [ sighs ] i 'm just -- i 'm not ready . bill : every time i come here , you ask me to leave . but not tonight . tonight , ask me to stay . tonight , we recommit . we start our life again . i 'll move back in here or i 'll get us a place of our own . whatever you want , whatever you think is best for r.j . brooke : whoa , whoa , whoa . wait a minute . you 're moving way too fast . you 're jumping to conclusions . bill : because it 's time that we move on with our lives , brooke . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : you need attention and affection and so do i . why are we denying ourselves ? i 'm not good without it , brooke . it -- it -- it makes me do things i ... brooke : what kind of things ? bill : i 'm a man , brooke . i have needs , and i have desires . and none of them are being met . personally , professionally , my -- my family -- everything 's been on hold . one word from you and everything will be right again . do n't ask me to leave . brooke : i 'm sorry . you have to go . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] hope : i 'm just so surprised . wyatt : i was , too . hope : i hate to say this ... wyatt : hmm ? hope : ... but i feel like your mom should n't get her hopes up , because bill has been pretty intent on being with my mom . wyatt : i know . and that 's what concerns me , because when she gets too emotionally involved in something , she just -- let 's stop talking about mom , please . hope : [ chuckles ] okay . wyatt : let 's stop talking about parents , because they are -- they are finally old enough to make their own decisions . hope : yes , they are . i just ca n't help but wonder . wyatt : yeah , but whatever . you need to do something for me . hope : what is that ? wyatt : you owe me . hope : i owe you ? wyatt : yeah . because i was -- i was so looking forward to seeing your very sexy , barely clothed body all over magazines and billboards . hope : oh , hope 's bedroom . i 'm sorry . wyatt : yeah , you are . hope : but you 'll get to see me in lingerie , just not along side the whole world . wyatt : really ? hope : yeah . wyatt : okay , so , let 's get to it . hope : get to what ? wyatt : my own private showing .

eric : brooke , what is it ? what 's happened ? why -- why are you so upset ? brooke : [ voice breaking ] it 's horrible .

[ sighs ] ridge : whatever you 're saying , you got to stop . quinn : are you all right ? eric : yes , yes . i 'm all right . it 's brooke i 'm worried about . what -- what -- what 's going on here ? ridge : nothing . i just got to -- i got to talk to brooke alone . eric : wait , are you still getting married tomorrow ? ridge : everything is fine . we just need to talk this through right now . brooke : how ? eric : brooke , tell me what 's going on . i need to know . brooke : yeah . tell him . eric needs to know . ridge : let 's just go to our room and talk about it . hear me out . please . eric : what the hell is going on here ? do you know ? rick : i 'm glad that they 're having a great time down there . maya : how could they not ? it 's australia . rick : i know . maya : oh ! hello . nicole : hi . zende : hi . nicole : so , those photos of steffy in front of the opera house ? rick : yeah ? nicole : they 've been shared more than any other forrester creations post . maya : i ca n't say i 'm surprised . the girl looked good . rick : sexy c.e.o . nicole : sexy bride , too . those photos of her getting ready ? forrester creations is definitely benefiting . we were trending . did you see the hashtags today ? rick : uh , no , i did n't . but that 's why i have you as the head of social media -- so i do n't have to . but i hope you 're ready for another big day tomorrow . with one forrester wedding down and another to go . eric : quinn , do you know what 's going on ? quinn : i 'm not entirely sure . eric : did you see them ? were -- were they arguing ? quinn : um , well ... eric : i mean , you -- you were out there on the beach for a long time . you were walking on the beach . did you run into the two of them ? quinn , you can tell me . i - i just want to help them . quinn : yeah , no , i want to help them , too . i just ... i - i think maybe they just need a little bit of time . eric : no , the way brooke was -- was upset , i do n't think time 's gon na heal this at all . i think a trust has been broken . she was so hurt . whatever this is , this is something big . this is bad . [ sighs ] i wonder if there 's another woman involved . brooke : you better start talking . ridge : what can i say ? brooke : tell me that i 'm wrong , that i did n't see what i saw . how could you , ridge ? have you no respect , no boundaries ? not only were you kissing another woman ! it was quinn , your father 's wife ! zende : all right . now , it wo n't take me long to pack up . you ready to go ? nicole : sure . we still getting drinks at bikini ? zende : you know , i was thinking maybe we could do something more , uh , romantic , just the two of us . or -- or four . you know , i could always alter the reservation if you guys do n't have plans . rick : our plans ? our plans involve diapers . maya : yes , an evening almost as romantic as yours will be . rick : so many newlyweds rubbing their carefree lives in our faces . maya : [ chuckles ] rick : zende and nicole and liam and steffy . maya : brooke and ridge . rick : right , because my mom 's a newlywed ? maya : you 're worried she 's making a mistake , are n't you ? rick : no , i - i -- you know , i ... she wants this life , and i 'm happy that she can trust in that . what i am worried about is ridge making a mistake , the same mistake that he 's made his whole life -- thinking that he 's not gon na hurt her . because that 's always what ends up happening . somehow , some way he always lets my mom down . quinn : another woman ? why would you think that ? eric : i do n't necessarily , but it 's ridge , you know . it 's -- it 's easy to assume . quinn : but he 's committed to brooke . eric : until he 's not . look , i do n't want to say anything bad about my son , but -- but ... when a woman looks at him , he has a very difficult time . he ... i mean , my god . even my own wife . you know about that . when i was married to brooke . i mean , i know firsthand his weakness for an attractive woman . and i think maybe that 's what 's bothering brooke . i hope it 's not , but maybe it is . [ sighs ] he does n't mean to , but ridge hurts the people he loves . ridge : logan , what you saw -- brooke : do n't . do n't try to deny it , ridge . do n't try to twist it around and pretend you were n't kissing quinn ! ridge : i 'm not trying to deny anything . i did kiss quinn , and you have every right to be angry . brooke : do you want her ? ridge : no . no . brooke : you used to despise that woman ! ridge : and i still despise her . what you saw , we -- we were -- we were flirting . that 's all . brooke : flirting ? `` that 's all `` ? it 's more to it than that , ridge , and you know it ! are you really that determined to hurt me and to hurt eric ? ridge : i do n't want to hurt anyone . this whole thing started out because i wanted to protect dad . brooke : oh , bull ! ridge : i wanted quinn gone ! brooke : until you wanted her in your bed ! ridge : i do n't want that ! brooke : how could you do this to me ? ! again ? i really thought you were committed this time ! ridge : i 'm committed . i want to spend my life with you . brooke : no , no , you do n't want to spend your life with me . you want me in the sidelines waiting for you , ridge , while you go out and you get any woman that you want just to prove that you can ! and the more inappropriate for you , the better . ridge : that 's -- that 's not it . brooke : there is something wrong with you . there 's some deep - seated anger with your father , with women , with me . it 's not normal , ridge . the way you behave , that is just not acceptable , and i do n't want to be a part of it ! not anymore ! ridge : what are you saying ? brooke : i want a decent life for me , for r.j. , and i really thought that was with you . but obviously it is n't because you 're still the same . you are in the same place that you were 30 years ago ! well , i 'm not ! i deserve something better for me , and so does r.j . better than you . rick : look , i 'm bringing everybody 's mood down , are n't i ? do n't listen to me . i 'm sure my mom and ridge will be just fine . zende : you have reservations . that 's okay . they have n't exactly been successful at staying together . but it 's encouraging -- they 're still trying all these years later . nicole : yeah , and there 's something incredible about the way they keep finding their way back to each other . maya : if there is a couple that can prove you can overcome anything , it is your mom and ridge . quinn : hey . whatever is going on between brooke and ridge , i 'm sure they 're gon na work it out . eric : is he cheating on her ? quinn , you can tell me . what did you see out there on the beach ? did you see another woman ? [ sighs ] when you saw ridge and brooke , were they fighting ? quinn : no . no , no , they were n't fighting . i - i - i saw ridge , and he -- he was alone , and we talked . and -- and then later , i ran into brooke . eric : was she upset ? quinn : well , um ... come to think of it , yeah , um , at -- at that point , she -- she looked upset . i guess whatever was going on between them had -- had already happened . but i could -- i could hear in her voice how she feels about ridge and -- and -- and how -- how excited she was to marry him . i mean , this -- this -- this final , lasting marriage . they 're going to get married . a relationship like this just ... ca n't be thrown away . ridge : you ca n't walk away from us . brooke : why not ? you did . ridge : no , i did n't . i understand you 're angry with me , but -- brooke : you betrayed me , ridge . ridge : i was reckless . i took a walk on the wild side . brooke : my god . you are not 20 years old ! you do n't have oats to sow ! you 've been there , done that countless times ! but it 's never enough for you , is it ? i 'm never enough . ridge : that 's not true . brooke : then how else do you explain kissing another woman before the day you 're supposed to get married ? ! ridge : i ca n't explain that . if i knew how to do that , if i knew how to explain half the stupid stuff i 've done in my life , we would n't be here right now . i lost my way for a second , you know ? i made a wrong turn , and i was -- i was driven by desire and -- brooke : oh , god . you desire her ? ridge : no , i -- no , i do n't . no . i do n't desire her . but maybe i desire the chase . like you said , maybe i 'm still trying to prove that i can , you know ? and you understand that 'cause that 's -- that 's part of you , too . maybe that 's why we 're attracted to each other . brooke : i do n't find anything attractive about you kissing quinn . i think it 's quite disgusting . ridge : yes , okay . i kissed quinn . i betrayed you . i betrayed my dad . i 'm -- i 'm not denying that . i 'm not denying that at all . it was awful . it was horrible . temptation was standing right in front of me , and ... and i could n't sidestep it . brooke : so what am i supposed to do ? i 'm just supposed to understand this and accept it ? ridge : just understand it 's not gon na happen again , not with quinn , not with anyone . it ca n't . i promise you . please , whatever you do , just do n't pull away from me . brooke : [ sighs ] i ca n't -- i ca n't do this , ridge . ridge : you have to do it . you have to stay and fight . smack me around if you want . you can destroy this whole room . you can take a baseball bat to my car . but do n't walk away from us , not now . we 've worked too hard . we 've worked too hard to get here . we 're this close . we can have our family back . and this is not just for us . this is for r.j . i know what i want . i want to marry you tomorrow . tell me that 's what you want , too . eric : i hope you 're right . i hope whatever it is that 's bothering brooke is n't enough to break her and ridge apart . quinn : he 'll get through to her . he has to . eric : you know how much this means to me ? quinn : what ? eric : how much you care about ridge . your relationship 's really come a long way , has n't it ? [ cell phone rings ] eric : ah , it 's rick . quinn : oh , you should take it . eric : no , you know what ? if it 's about business , it 's gon na take awhile . quinn : yeah , that -- that 's fine . eric : all right . rick . hi . okay . no , no , we just got back from the reception just now . rick : all in one piece ? eric : yes , all in one piece . why would you say that ? rick : well , this is steffy we 're talking about , the girl who ziplines down the aisle . [ laughs ] i figured if she was having a beach reception , it would involve feeding the sharks or some sort of synchronized surfing . eric : maybe that 's where everybody got off to while i was sitting in the comparative safety of the beach bar . rick : [ chuckles ] i 'm sure you did . hey , nicole 's with me . she was wondering if , uh , you had any updates about mom 's wedding so she could tease her online followers . eric : i 'd advise on holding off posting anything about brooke and ridge . rick : is there a problem ? eric : i hope not . your mom and ridge seem to be going through something right now , but do n't worry about it . ridge insists they 're getting married tomorrow . rick : what did mom have to say about that ? eric : i believe they 'll be okay . i mean , if -- if ridge and your mom ca n't make it , who can ? rick : yeah , makes you realize just how lucky we are . eric : beyond lucky . ridge : we can still get married . tell me you want that as much as i do . brooke : i want to marry the man you were this morning , the man i pretend you are . ridge : you know exactly who i am . brooke : yes . you 're someone who hurts me over and over again , who reels me in with false promises and makes me feel secure . ridge : you are secure . this relationship is secure . just trust in us . we 're meant to be together . just ... let 's get married tomorrow . brooke : ridge , how could i possibly say vows to you ? how could i look in your eyes and say those vows after this ? how could you ? ridge : same way i 'm looking you in the eyes right now and asking you to forgive me . 'cause there 's no way i can live my life without you . forgive me and let 's -- let 's just start over tomorrow . brooke : no . we are not getting married . ridge : you do n't want to put our family back together ? brooke : [ scoffs ] quinn : are you all right ? brooke : what do you think ? quinn : i 'm with eric . you 're with ridge . there 's nothing to question . there is nothing going on between me and ridge . what -- what -- what was happening , what we were -- i - i - i -- i - i - i do n't even know ! we -- we hate each other ! brooke : it 's funny how passionate hate can be . quinn : no ! there 's only one person on this planet that i am passionate about . that is my husband . he 's my life . he is my whole world ! i do n't know what 's gon na happen between the two of you , whether you 're gon na kiss and make up and -- and follow your destiny , or you 're gon na go your separate ways , but the only person that matters to me is eric ! brooke : i think eric deserves to know what his wife 's been up to . quinn : i 'm never gon na kiss ridge again . i - i - i 'm never gon na kiss any other man ever again . ridge was right to call it foolish . we -- we -- we were n't thinking ! but we are now ! we -- we -- we do n't even want each other ! we know who we want ! it is n't each other ! it 's ... there 's no reason -- there 's no reason to break eric 's heart . he loves me . he wants to spend the rest of his life with me . please , please do n't hurt him , brooke . please . do n't tell eric . do n't tell anyone .	eric asks brooke what is making her so upset . she cries it is horrible . she can not believe this is happening or real . she finally says this is not easy for her to say but it is something he needs to now . he wants to know if ridge hurt her . she says yes she saw something . quinn and ridge walk in and say they need to talk to eric . actually ridge wants to talk to brooke alone first , leaving quinn and eric . eric asks what in the hell is going on here . he states that she was on the beach for a long time so she could have run into brooke and ridge . she says yes but she thinks they need more time . eric shares that this seems to be very bad and he wonders if another woman is involved . in their room brooke says ridge better start talking . how could he .does he have no respect or boundaries ? not only was it another woman but his father 's wife ! nicole tells rick and maya that fc is definitely benefiting from steffy 's pix in sydney . nicole and zende have plans but rick and maya say they will pass as they have a reservation with diapers tonight . quinn tells eric that ridge is committed to brooke . he says yes until not . when another woman looks at him , it does n't matter who it is , it could be quinn , his own wife . he does n't mean to , but ridge hurts the people he loves .
ridge : you do agree with me asking sally to stay here , right ? eric : yes . i think it 's absolutely the right thing to do . you just surprised us both . i wonder if she 's going to accept . brooke : how could she not accept ? you just gave sally an opportunity to have a great future here at forrester creations . sally : you guys were just catching up . we will talk at home . wyatt : no , sally . stop . my mother and flo were just reminiscing about old times , and my mother clearly knows that i am in a committed relationship because we live together . flo : in such a beautiful home , and i - i ca n't thank you enough for having me over . it was really nice . quinn : aww . sally : it was our pleasure . wyatt : yeah , and -- and we 're hoping to have you over again , maybe , but i would like my mother to stop making things so awkward all the time . quinn : i was talking to flo . i did n't even know sally was there . wyatt : mom ! quinn : i am really sorry if you misconstrued what i said and took it as a slight . wyatt : could have just stopped at `` i 'm sorry , `` but ... quinn : oh , come on . sally knows that i was n't trying to denigrate whatever it is you two have with each other and hurt her feelings . i was just excited to see flo , you know ? and i think if anyone 's making this awkward , i 'd say it 's you . wyatt : mom ... sally : okay , look . i just needed to talk to wyatt . there was no one at reception . the door was open . i thought you would be alone . flo : well , we 're gon na head out , then , anyway . sally : no , no , no . i 'm not trying to run you off . quinn : no , no , no , no . you two need to talk . sally : [ sighs ] quinn : [ clears throat ] flo : i - i really hope i can see you again . sally : soon . quinn : yes , soon ! do you have time for coffee ? i want to have coffee with you . i love you , sweetheart . mm . so handsome . wyatt : yeah , great . quinn : okay . bye ! wyatt : thanks for a fun day . sally : well , i guess it 's pretty clear who your mother 's favorite is . wyatt : my mother did n't mean to hurt your feelings , okay ? sally : look , i 'm a tough cookie , wyatt , okay ? i 'm not scared of your mother or a little competition . what i do care about , though , is if you and your ex were perfect back in the day . it 's how quinn said it . wyatt : well , i - i had n't even told her that flo was in town . like , it surprised her . that 's all . sally : try `` elated . `` wyatt : [ groans ] okay , fine . a little bit . but that is no reflection on how my mother feels about you . sally : quinn has never been warm and fuzzy with me , but , then again , she 's never been warm and fuzzy with anyone except for you and eric , so i did n't really take it personally 'cause i just thought , `` you know what ? no woman is ever gon na be good enough for her precious , darling wyatt . `` clearly ... no woman except flo . flo : i 'll have a coffee with almond milk . quinn : uh , yeah . i 'll have the same but with cream , and we 'll probably order food in a little bit . flo : thank you . quinn : oh . i can not believe this . flo : [ laughing ] i know . quinn : i have thought about you so much over the years , and here you are in l.a . flo : yeah , yeah . i was thinking about heading back to vegas , and then i ran in to wyatt . quinn : no , no , no ! you ca n't ! you ca n't ! this is meant to be ! flo : it really is the best thing that 's happened to me since i 've been here . quinn : i think it 's wonderful . and i 'm not the only one . i still know my son better than anyone . that has n't changed . flo : [ laughs ] quinn : and i can tell that he is thrilled to see you , too . fit me foundation flo : um , it has been so good to catch up with wyatt ... quinn : mm - hmm . flo : ... and to meet sally , too . quinn : yeah , yeah . i 'm just ... getting to know her myself . they have n't really been together that long . flo : well , i mean , they 've been nothing but generous , inviting me over to their house and wyatt being able to see me in his office . quinn : mm - hmm . well , that is my son -- as sweet and caring as ever . flo : he really is , is n't he ? quinn : well , he was never sweeter than he was when he was with you . flo : i kind of just think that 's how he is , right ? quinn : no , no , 'cause that 's what made you two a perfect couple . you and your mother are just the most generous people . oh . so , you said she 's good ? flo : she is . she 's just as you remember . quinn : and she 's still in marketing ? flo : yeah , a little . quinn : we were so busy . we were ... trying to support our families and -- and make a living and raise our kids . oh , god . you have no idea how -- how much we talked about you and wyatt . we planned your entire lives at your kitchen table . flo : it is crazy how things turned out . quinn : yeah . you running in to wyatt again after all these years . flo : yeah , and him being this high - powered executive with this beautiful office and gorgeous beach house . i mean , god , he 's not even wyatt fuller anymore . he 's wyatt spencer , of all things . quinn : i know . i know . it was a real turning point for wyatt when he -- when he met his father . i mean , meeting bill definitely changed his life . eric : sally was intrigued with the offer . she really was . ridge : well , you always say follow your instincts , so i did . i had to make an offer . eric : look , i think she would be standing here right now if this was purely a business decision . brooke : but it 's not , and we have to be sensitive to that . ridge : i get that , but wyatt wants what 's best for sally . he wants her to have a career , and ... i do n't know . i think she can have -- she can have it here , no ? eric : even wyatt is now working for his father . brooke : that 's right , and that could affect her decision . ridge : [ sighs ] there 's nothing better than working with the woman you love , and i love coming here in the morning , knowing i get to look at you all day . but sally -- she 's her own person . she 's got to make her own decision . eric : you 're not gon na let her say no , are you ? ridge : no . this is a golden opportunity for us and even better for her . i just hope she takes it . wyatt : what can i do to put my mom out of your mind ? sally : there 's not really much room for her in there right now , actually . wyatt : okay . i mean , have you been making plans for the , uh , spencer fashions line ? sally : yeah . that 's actually what i wanted to talk to you about . wyatt : okay . i mean , we have n't figured out the office - space situation yet , but if you want me to order you a new drafting table , i can do that . sally : um , wyatt , i - i would hold off on all of that . we need to discuss something ... something that could mean significant changes in my future ... and yours . wyatt : okay . sally : [ sighs ] i am so grateful ... for your love and support , wyatt . having you in my corner has changed ... the way i feel about myself and what i am capable of . the idea of -- of working here with you and creating ... a future together was really ... exciting to me . wyatt : `` was `` ? sally : i 'm reconsidering coming to spencer publications . quinn : i never wanted wyatt to know his father . flo : d - did you not get along or something ? quinn : well , he just was n't the kind of man that i wanted in wyatt 's life ... especially when he was young . i know . i know that 's hard to understand , keeping your son away from his father 's wealth and power , but ... there just -- there just was n't anything more important than wyatt 's well - being for me . flo : well , i mean , that was a long time ago . i 'm sure he 's changed since then , right ? quinn : [ chuckles ] well , bill likes to think so . [ both chuckle ] i mean ... i do n't know . i guess he has . but , i mean , it 's wyatt who 's really changed , right ? he 's grown up , so he can look out for himself . flo : you know , he wondered a lot about his dad when we were growing up . quinn : yeah , yeah . that 's another thing that you two had in common . neither of you knew your fathers . flo : i still don't . quinn : really ? ! oh , honey , i am so sorry . i did n't mean to bring up a touchy subject . flo : no , no , no . you didn't . it 's -- it 's not something i ever think about . quinn : you do n't ? i mean , you 're not curious ? even after all these years ? you never ... thought to ... find out who he is ? ridge : well , hats off to wyatt . he got sally pretty much everything she wanted over there . brooke : bill owed her that . eric : [ chuckling ] he sure does -- at least that . i mean , if it was n't for him , sally never would have lost spectra fashions . ridge : yeah . now she can start from scratch with no one to advise her . real nice . eric : wyatt helped quinn run her business for years . ridge : her business is -- that 's not -- that 's not running a fashion house , dad . he does n't know how to do that . and bill does n't know how to do that , either . brooke : yeah , but they would n't be running it . it would be sally 's company . ridge : it 's not sally 's company . it 's -- it 's bill 's company . and you know how he is . he 's an egomaniac . he 's gon na be all over that place , gon na touch everything . brooke : ridge , you like to have your hands in everything here . ridge : how is that the same thing ? that 's very different . i 'm a designer . i know what i 'm talking about . i - i -- everything i do is for the best of this company . and spencer -- all he wants is a good bottom line . he does n't care about sally . she 's just an employee to him . and what 's gon na happen if -- if she has a question about design or about fashion ? you 've seen how he dresses . what is he gon na do ? he dresses like -- like an unemployed pirate . brooke : ridge , his company publishes one of the world 's most respected fashion magazines . ridge : so what ? ! he does n't write it . he sells advertising . right ? the content comes from somewhere else , and sally , she -- she 's passionate about this business . she has fashion running through her blood . and wyatt loves her , and he wants her to have a shot . he wants her to do well . and he thinks it can happen at spencer . i just do n't think it can . the best thing for sally is to be right here with us . sally : you 're disappointed in me . wyatt : no , i - i 'm just -- i - i 'm confused . like , you said that you 're excited to work with me , but then now this ? sally : i did n't know this was gon na happen , okay ? nobody could have predicted . i was leaving , okay ? i was in ridge 's office , saying goodbye , when xander and tiffany barged in . they wore some of my athleticwear designs to lunch , and the most incredible thing happened . look . here . let me show you . i had tiffany send me the photo . wait . wyatt : oh , my god . is that ... ? sally : yes , and she 's getting ready to shoot a new music video , and she wants to wear my designs in it . wyatt : what ? sally : yeah . can you believe it ? right ? i - i mean , my designs on the biggest superstar in the entire world and all of her dancers , too . she loved them , wyatt , and she asked xander and tiffany who designed them , and they told her all about me and my connection to forrester , which got them even more excited . wyatt : that 's incredible . sally : ridge thought so , too . he asked me to stay . and he made me an incredible offer . and it 's like you said . you know , starting over at spencer -- it 's gon na be a process . it 's a big risk . and forrester -- they 're already a known successful fashion house , you know ? they already have the infrastructure and the experience . this could be a really good thing , wyatt . please say something . wyatt : we had a plan . sally : i know . wyatt : the two of us were gon na work here together to -- to rebuild the spectra legacy , and -- and one conversation with ridge and that just -- that all changes ? like , what about us , sally ? what about our future together ? quinn : i am so sorry . i - i - i did n't mean to pry or make you feel uncomfortable . flo : you didn't . quinn : i just assumed your mother would have told you by now . flo : my dad just is n't something we talk about . quinn : never ? i mean ... everybody wants to know where they come from , flo . flo : yeah . well , i 've , um -- i 've done some things in my life that make me question a lot about myself , about who i am , but my dad is just not one of those things i think about . he 's never been in my life . quinn : well , bill was never part of wyatt 's life , but he is now . flo : yeah , and it sounds like it turned out amazingly well , and i 'm so happy for wyatt , but let 's be honest . i mean , how often does your long - lost father turn out to be some billionaire ? quinn : [ chuckles ] never . flo : yeah . quinn : that never will ever happen to anyone ever again , ever . but it 's -- i mean , it 's not about money . it -- i do n't know . there are other reasons . flo : not for me . quinn : hmm . i told you that i did n't want ... bill to be a part of wyatt 's life , and i still think i made the right decision , you know , for the beginning part of his life , but , i mean , you said it yourself . wyatt has changed so much , and -- and -- and a lot of it for the better . i just ca n't help but think how your life could change if you knew who your father was . i mean ... imagine the impact . ridge : sally knows a good deal when she hears it . i think she 'll take mine . eric : i just hope this decision does n't drive a wedge between her and wyatt . wyatt : i risked my future at spencer here to make a place for you . sally : and i have never been so grateful . wyatt : yeah , but now you 're telling me you want something else . sally : no . i still want to revive spectra fashions and have my own collection . i just ca n't help but wonder ... if ridge is right . wyatt : you know he hates my father , right ? i mean , that 's not unusual because there 's a lot of people that hate my father , but -- but ridge is -- sally : not a fan . i know . and , honestly ... neither am i . wyatt : but this was a chance for you and my dad to get past all of that . sally : yeah , and maybe we would have , but it is more than that , wyatt . okay ? spencer publications is a media company . bill has never run a fashion house before in his life . wyatt : so what ? ! he owned a portion of forrester creations at one point . sally : yes , but he did n't build it from the ground up . wyatt : ugh ! sally : okay ? i know what that takes . even with all of your father 's money , there are still people to hire and equipment to buy and finding suppliers . wyatt : but you can do that . that 's what i 'm saying . i believe you can do that , and , plus , i was gon na help you anyway . sally : [ sighs ] and i love you for that , wyatt . but you understand that you 're the reason why i have both of these opportunities -- getting into forrester and this deal with your father . wyatt : he was gon na give you everything that you wanted here . you did n't think you were gon na be able to do that at forrester . sally : i know , but now i can . okay ? ridge is gon na give me this incredible opportunity . and he said that he would sweeten my deal . wyatt : oh . okay . so , all of a sudden , he realizes how valuable you are . okay . sally : it was a legitimate offer , wyatt . brooke and eric backed him up . wyatt : so , what did you -- what did you -- what did you say ? sally : i told them i had to talk to you . wyatt : [ sighs ] sally : i love you , wyatt . and the idea of working here and building a future together -- it is ... so tempting . but i just do n't know if i can pass up this opportunity to be an integral part of forrester creations . look , i - i - i understand if you 're upset with me , okay , or you feel like i 'm going back on my word . wyatt : no . i just ... i - i had all these plans for us . and not just the ones where i lock the office door and we get to be alone together . i 'm talking about your line ... and our future together . i ... i wanted to be a part of your passions and your dreams . and now you 're telling me you want something different . like , i - if you think ridge can do more for you over there , then -- sally : no one can do more for me than you have , wyatt . wyatt : yeah , but if this is what you want , if this is what you really want , what makes you happy and fulfilled , then ... i mean , i - i ... i ca n't tell you not to do it . but spencer is my family company . i have to be here . so it 's probably gon na change things for us . i mean , we 're not gon na be able to work together , and -- and ...

( chuckles ) he 's -- he 's hot , okay ? she may have her eye on him for the moment , but it 's not gon na last . he needs a woman , not a teenager . thomas : a woman like you ? steffy : whip and mom are getting married . i am the maid of honor , and oliver is the best man . you know what happens at weddings . romance is in the air , okay ? and that 's when i 'll make my move .	lounging around in bed , steffy calls oliver . she flirts with him outrageously and invites him over to take care of her . he says that would be trouble and has to decline . she tells him that is okay . she likes the chase so she will catch him later . he goes to the fc office where ridge and brooke are listening to hope 's top three choices for music to highlight the hope line . they seem surprised when they find that their choice is actually oliver 's contribution . thomas and steffy are shocked speechless when taylor and whip tell them they are getting married and must decide on the living arrangements with them and stephanie . with whip 's prodding , they finally manage to say congratulations . whip suggests that ridge be at the wedding , it 's stephanie he is worried about . when stephanie joins them late for breakfast and they are planning the wedding , whip fills stephanie in on the wedding proposal and plans .
ridge : it 's not that simple logan . brooke : i know . ( sighs ) you need more time . ridge : i need for you to understand . brooke : i do . ridge : no . mother does . taylor does . but i 'm not sure that you ever fully can .

( sighs ) taylor : well , trust me any jetlag you 're feeling from that 11-hour flight from l.a. will be absolutely worth it when ridge gets rid of brooke . stephanie : but in the long run , you know , it 's his decision , so ... taylor : mm - hmm , but we know it is n't gon na be easy for ridge when the waterworks start . stephanie : that 's true . taylor : it 's just that , you know he has stayed with brooke for better or worse , and -- and he 's forgiven her over and over again for the absolute unforgiveable , and i just hope he can get past it this time . stephanie : well it 's different , is n't it ? i just hope he 's finally had enough . taylor : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : i would n't get too comfortable in that chair , big brother . dad will be back from paris soon . thomas : i 'm not trying to take over , steff . steffy : i wonder . the way you were talking earlier makes me worry . thomas : all this craziness of the past few days will be over when he gets home . and this ridiculous idea of him dropping taboo -- he 'll forget it . steffy : well , not if mom has something to say about it . thomas : mom should have just stayed out of it . steffy : obviously , dad does n't think so , or she would n't be there with him right now in the most romantic city in the world . thomas : steffy , he 's there to deal with a problem at international , and the way i heard it , she just jumped on a plane with him . steffy : he 's also there to make a decision about his marriage and the fate of your line . thomas : taboo 's not going anywhere . steffy : god , brooke must be freaking out knowing that dad 's in paris with mom . where is she , by the way ? i have n't even seen her around . thomas : i do n't know . why are you asking me ? i am not brooke 's keeper . by the way , if you 're hoping something will happen between our mom and dad in paris , that 's a fantasy , steffy -- your fantasy . steffy : okay . prove it . call mom . see if brooke really does have something to worry about . [ scene_break ] taylor : stephanie , i know this ca n't be easy for you , either . stephanie : oh , it 's just so disappointing . after all the years of fighting , i thought that brooke and i had come to some sort of an understanding , but , uh ... i should have known better . ( cell phone rings ) taylor : mm . ( ring ) taylor : hmm . it 's thomas . hey , sweetheart , how are things over there ? thomas : when are you and dad coming home ? taylor : um , i 'm not sure . thomas : are you with him right now ? taylor : no . he 's -- he 's next door with -- with brooke . thomas : brooke 's in paris ? taylor : yes , he -- he asked her to come here with your grandmother . thomas : dad got brooke and grandma there . taylor : um , well , he has a lot he needs to think about . thomas : okay , mom , you ... ( sighs ) listen to me . you have got to stop this . taylor : stop what ? thomas : your campaign against brooke . taylor : this is n't just me , sweetheart . thomas : okay , you , uh , grandma , dad , you 're all overreacting about this . taylor : i wish we were . i ... ( scoffs ) i also wish brooke had kept her word to your father and -- and to stephanie and to me , but here we are again . thomas : because of me and a lame kiss brooke had nothing to do with . taylor : this is about a lot more than just that kiss right now . thomas : what are you saying ? dad 's actually gon na go through with it , ending taboo and his marriage ? he ca n't do this . i 'm coming over there . taylor : no ! no . listen , just stay where you are . you need to trust your father and let him deal with this himself . you need to trust him to do what 's best for everyone , and that is including brooke . [ scene_break ] brooke : i 'm not sure what that means . ridge : it 's just ... something i realized . brooke : about me ? ridge : about why it 's so easy for taylor and for mother , but not for you . brooke : i 'm lost . ridge : so was i , actually . that 's why i had to get away . i needed to get some perspective on this . brooke : and taylor was here to help you find it . ridge : she loves her son . brooke : she 's also in love with her son 's father , even though she 's married to somebody else . ridge : whip is hardly a model husband . brooke : ( sighs ) you have to know that she 's next door counting the minutes before she hears it 's over between us . and now i 'm getting this bad feeling that that 's what you 're going to say . please , ridge , tell me i 'm wrong . [ scene_break ] stephanie : tom wanted to fly here ? taylor : you know , i just do n't know if thomas is ever gon na be able to forgive me for talking to his father about this . stephanie : sweetheart , how many fights have eric and ridge had ? really . look , if -- if their relationship can survive the fact that ridge took brooke away from eric and then married her , come on -- your son and his father are going to be okay . taylor : yeah , but thomas is a lot more stubborn in -- in many , many ways . i mean , what if he decides he does n't want to work with ridge anymore , and he ca n't . stephanie : well , then it will be a terrible mistake . and brooke certainly is n't helping , siding with tom a - against ridge . that 's just ridiculous . she never seems to learn , does she ? [ scene_break ] steffy : oh , will you chill ? brooke does n't need you fighting her battles . thomas : i know . but for dad to fly her to paris and put her in front of this firing squad -- steffy : oh , if you mean grandma and mom -- thomas : and that 's another thing -- grandma turning on brooke like this ? i thought the animosity between those two was over . steffy : oh , come on . you did n't actually believe that was gon na last . thomas : look , steffy , brooke has done a lot for our family business , okay ? she is a valuable asset . she deserves better from dad , this family , and you . ( sighs ) what ? steffy : after everything that 's happened , the way you talk about brooke and defend her ... deny it all you want -- there 's something between you two , and it 's not just business . thomas : ( sighs ) steffy : there 's something more than you 're admitting to us or yourself . [ scene_break ] ridge : logan , you know i ...

[ scene_break ] taylor : ( sighs ) how much longer do you think this is gon na go on ? stephanie : oh , before the wailing begins next door ? taylor : oh , yeah . maybe we should get a glass and put it against the wall . stephanie : ( chuckles ) no . look , whatever happens , we know it 'll be classic brooke . taylor : i still ca n't believe the spin she tried to put on this whole thing , saying that i 'm the one who should be grateful to her for trying to protect ridge and -- and thomas 's relationship , when she 's the one who put them at odds with each other . stephanie : taylor , she 's always been able to ...

( clicks tongue ) taylor : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : tell me i 'm wrong . let 's hear it . thomas : brooke is dad 's wife . that means she 's off - limits . steffy : suppose she were n't off - limits . suppose dad and brooke were divorcing . would ya ? thomas : oh , come on , stop ! steffy : oh , you probably would , all right ? you probably fantasize about it . thomas : okay , steffy , you officially crossed the line . steffy : then why are n't you being honest with yourself ? you say everything that happened between you and brooke was all about promoting your line . thomas : because it is . it 's called acting . i 've given the people and the press exactly what they 've come to expect . steffy : oh , come on ! i know the difference between acting and real chemistry . there 's heat between you two that 's undeniable . that 's why dad has every right to dump her . thomas : no , dad is not dumping his wife . steffy : okay . just promise me you wo n't go after her , that you will be the one forrester male brooke logan ca n't have . thomas : oh , my gosh . steffy , listen to you . this is nuts . you know i 'm dating a bunch of girls . steffy : but is that for real ? or about just seeing them so you can cover your feelings for brooke ? thomas : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : i know you 're upset with me . i - i kept something from you that i should n't have ridge : yes , you did . brooke : yes , and i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . and you 're saying that you just ca n't forgive me this time , that you want to end our marriage ? ridge : no , logan , that 's not what i 'm saying at all . brooke : you know , i really -- i really thought that you would understand and ... you 're -- you 're not ending our marriage ? ridge : i realized you were only thinking of my relationship with my son . and the press conference -- you know that i acted in haste and cancelled taboo and that it would have been a disaster for thomas and me . you had the courage to do what you did . you risked our marriage for my son and me . and i will always loving you for that . brooke : ( laughs ) and i will always love you ...

brooke : i 'm so glad that you two took me up on my invitation . karen : oh , we 're just happy to get a chance to see you both . ridge : same here . you have turned into a lovely young woman . caroline : oh , thank you . brooke : ridge and i love your designs . caroline : oh , that means so much coming from you . forrester is legend . brooke : we 're ready to make an offer -- short - term at first until we get to know each other . caroline : seriously ? a - an offer brooke : if you 're interested . caroline : as a designer , as opposed to an intern ? karen : it does seem a little sudden . brooke : well , things move pretty quickly around here . karen : do n't get me wrong . i - it 's not that we do n't think it 's wonderful that a design house like forrester , of your caliber , is interested in my daughter , but she is just starting . she does n't have a track record . brooke : ( giggles ) ridge : we see a lot of potential in caroline 's designs . karen : again , i mean , it 's really wonderful , but i ca n't help feeling like there might be a hidden agenda somewhere ... maybe yours , brooke ? [ scene_break ] amber : it did n't even o - occur to me that brooke would call in a replacement .

[ scene_break ] brooke : my agenda 's out in the open . i see this as a great opportunity for both caroline and rick . caroline : i thought rick was in paris heading up forrester international . brooke : he decided to move closer to home . caroline : so he 's back to stay ? ridge : he surprised us with some designs he 's been working on . brooke : this is a new area for him . he needs a new partner , somebody who understands the mechanics of transferring the concepts to paper and to fabric and so on and so on . and that 's where you come in . i think you 'd be a good fit . karen : and how do you see this partnership working ? i mean , it 's rick 's line , and they 're both designers . now i would n't be happy , and i know caroline would not be happy being relegated to his sketch artist . brooke : i envisioned a collaboration -- the beginning of a new edgy design team . caroline : has anyone asked rick what he thinks ? rick : ( sighs ) not really . but i 'd love to tell you . i - i 'm sure that you 're -- you 're very talented , but that 's not the only reason my mother summoned you here . you walked in on a power play . ( sighs ) my mother is trying to strong - arm amber , my collaborator , out of the business . [ scene_break ] brooke : i am not backing down , rick . amber 's been nothing but pain and heartache ever since you met her . rick : you know , i - i 've let go of the past . you should try it . brooke : we have tried . we 've forgiven her time and time again . and what does she do ? she takes a little time out , and then she comes back and she sabotages us all over again . rick : ( sighs ) karen : okay , here 's my concern . you use my daughter as a weapon against amber , and then where does that leave caroline once your mission has been accomplished ? brooke : i would like to hire caroline based on her merit . i think she has a very bright future , and i 'd like forrester to be a part of that . it 'd be advantageous for all of us . rick : except amber . brooke : ( sighs ) all right . ( sighs ) look , i have an idea . why do n't we throw a party in caroline 's honor ? and we 'll invite the family -- bill , katie , liam -- and you can get to meet everybody and just see how you feel . ridge : great idea , logan . we can use mother and dad 's house . i 'm sure they wo n't mind . caroline , you really should see this house . it was , uh , very special to your aunt caroline . she and i lived there , you know . caroline : oh , i 'd love to . i 'd like to know as much about aunt caroline as i can take in . in fact , i was hoping that you could fill in some of the blanks . ridge : i 'd be happy to . brooke : so everyone 's agreed ? karen : sure . why not ? caroline : a party sounds wonderful , brooke . thank you so much .

( chuckles ) marcus : ( mouths words ) [ scene_break ] ridge : i think brooke has a right to be concerned . amber 's caused a lot of damage . caroline : i got the impression that rick and amber have been dealing with each other for a long time . ridge : since he was a teenager -- she was his babysitter , for a lack of a better word , a position of trust that she violated by seducing him . and so it all began -- lies and betrayal , business and professional . caroline : is he in love with her ? ridge : oh , he has feelings for her . i think you could tell that . i would n't necessarily call them healthy . karen : well , as a mother , i totally get where brooke is coming from . i would do everything in my power to keep that amber away from my son , too . [ scene_break ] rick : i do n't want to talk about this . brooke : please . rick : do n't you have a party to plan ? brooke : i have a son to get straight first . rick : well , it 's not up for debate . brooke : it certainly is . rick : ( sighs ) look , amber gets me , okay ? she knows how to translate my ideas . she 's bright , she 's talented , and she 's easy to be with . brooke : she 's no caroline spencer . caroline is an up - and - coming young designer that people actually respect . now that 's the kind of partner that you need , not an amber moore . rick : you 're controlling me , mom ... but i love you anyway . brooke : mm . nice try . but you 're not gon na charm me out of this one . i do n't want somebody here that we ca n't trust . amber : okay , that 's it . rick : ( sighs ) amber : you 're gon na call me out . well , i 'm gon na defend myself . rick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] karen : well , at least you and brooke seem very happy . ridge : we are , after a sometimes difficult getting - here . karen : well , it 's good to know that my sister picked such a wonderful woman for you . ridge : your sister caroline 's instincts were always impeccable . you remind me so much of her . caroline : really ? ridge : the way you carry yourself with grace , class , dignity , so much style . it 's fitting that she named you caroline . caroline : i wish i had known her . ridge : she was an extraordinary woman like no other . i hope you give forrester a chance . it would be nice having another caroline around . [ scene_break ] amber : you know , you 're supposed to be a business woman , but you are forgetting one of the most important rules -- do n't let personal feelings influence professional decisions . brooke : oh , boy . this is rich -- a lecture on professionalism from you . amber : look , rick wants me here . brooke : he has n't made an informed decision . rick , come on . rick : ( sighs ) brooke : you got ta spend a little time with caroline . just get to know her . talk about designs . i really think the two of you will spark . but you ca n't take my word for it . you 're gon na have to check it out yourself . rick : i suppose i could do that . amber : rick ! rick : my mom 's right . ( sighs ) i got to form my own opinion . she did fly all the way across the country . it 's only polite . brooke : just like i raised you to be . amber : rick , could you just , uh , excuse us for a minute ? i 'd like a moment alone with brooke . brooke : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] thomas : ( grunts ) marcus : okay , so why do n't you handle your business ? take caroline spencer out on the town for a night she wo n't forget before she goes to new york . thomas : if she goes back . marcus : what , there 's a chance she wo n't ? thomas : marcus , you saw brooke when she met them at the limo . it 's a woman on a mission . this is n't just a casual visit . caroline and karen are here for a reason . marcus : well , i can see why forrester would court her . i mean , the girl 's got mad skills . thomas : that 's it . marcus : what you thinking ? thomas : dude , brooke ca n't stand amber , and she hates the fact that she 's collaborating with rick . enter caroline spencer . marcus : yeah , but what if rick do n't drop amber to the curb ? thomas : i 'm guessing he wo n't , leaving yours truly , and i 'll just get her to work with me . marcus : oh , well , hot diggity dog , my man .

( inhales sharply ) i 've learned over the years it 's just simply a hell of a lot easier just to give in . caroline : i guess you do n't take your own advice . rick : i reserve the option . listen , if we do n't end up working together , there 's a lot to do around here . there 's hope for the future . there 's -- there 's intimates . thomas is working on whatever thomas works on . my point is there 's plenty to do . caroline : it 's tempting . rick : did you happen to bring your book ? caroline : it just so happens , i did . rick : well , i 'd love to see your work . caroline : i 'd love to show it to you .

eric : a little romance . outback style . quinn : [ laughs ] you gon na have a crocodile jump out at me ? eric : actually , the only crocodile i could get in touch with has a bar mitzvah tonight , so it 's -- it 's just you and me . besides ... the only romance i understand is flowers and champagne . which would you like ? you have your choice , actually . champagne or tequila ? i had to have your two favorite drinks , or what kind of a husband am i ? what would you like ? quinn : uh ... i think it is more of a champagne kind of night . eric : okay . quinn : [ sighs ] how 's rick ? eric : he 's fine . actually , he 's taking good care of forrester while we 're gone . i 'm very confident leaving him in charge . fact is , i feel like we can stay here as long as we like . quinn : that is tempting , mate . eric : i probably should n't have , but i mentioned what 's going on with ridge and brooke to him . quinn : oh ? eric : i told him not to worry . they 'll get through it . brooke and ridge have these moments . they always survive . quinn : i will toast to that . ridge : you wo n't tell eric about what happened . does that mean ... brooke : i do n't know what it means . ridge : maybe it means we can try . maybe we can still get married tomorrow . think about that . think about r.j. at home . brooke : please do n't bring up r.j. you were n't thinking about our son when you were kissing quinn . ridge : i just thought -- brooke : no , you 're just being manipulative , ridge , just like you always do . ridge : i 'm not -- brooke : you make it seem like i 'm the wrong one , that i ca n't hold onto you , but really , it 's you . you with the wandering eye , always looking for something better , and that is why i ca n't marry you tomorrow . and on the beach , when i saw you kissing ... ugh . ridge : it 's -- it does n't have to be there . i 'm sorry , it 's not -- we can go anywhere . it does n't have to be in australia . we can go jump on the plane , go to fiji . brooke : you do n't get it , do you ?

ridge : i -- i kissed another woman . that 's all . brooke : oh , i know . you keep saying that , as if that makes it okay . you know what , ridge ? go ahead . kiss any woman you want . that is the life that i want for you because you obviously ca n't live any other way . ridge : i 'm asking for another chance , not for me -- yes , i do n't deserve it -- but r.j. does , our family does . brooke : r.j. 's going to be disappointed , but he just wanted us to be happy . you know what ? i am not happy . so i will have to explain how i 'm feeling to him . ridge : you do n't have to do that at all . you do n't have to disappoint our son . brooke : that is you . you are disappointing him and you betrayed him . just like you betrayed eric and the way you betrayed me . you 're now betraying our son , and all of a sudden , he does n't have that happy , loving life to look forward to . it is gone . all for quinn . i hope it was worth it . steffy : this is where i 'm staying -- all night in your arms . liam : what ? no , man . i 'm ready to hit the clubs ! [ beatboxing ] steffy : what ? i do n't think so . you 're a married man now . the clubbing lifestyle , that 's over . liam : one day , not even one day into the marriage and she 's already laying down the law . steffy : yep , that 's it . i got you . liam : look at that . steffy : i got you , my husband . liam : say that again . steffy : my husband . liam : [ exhales sharply ] husband . finally . steffy : worth the wait ? liam : eh , time will tell . [ laughs ] yes . yes , i hated the wait . i hated it , but ... you 're worth it . we 're worth it . just to have you in my arms like this , the most daring , adventurous woman i know ... completely unpredictable , completely sexy , completely ... steffy : completely yours . eric : all right , that 's enough talk about ridge and brooke . quinn : yes , please . eric : i hope they make it , but regardless , it has nothing to do with you and me . quinn : right . eric : [ clears throat ] may i have this dance ? quinn : who , me ? eric : the prettiest girl in the room ? yes , you . quinn : of course . mmm . eric : [ sighs ] an amazing trip . quinn : once in a lifetime . eric : let 's make it last forever . ridge : i do n't want quinn . i know you understand that . brooke : oh , yeah . yeah , i know you do n't want her in the end . but you do love the thrill of the chase . you love to flirt . you want to drive her crazy . so she kisses you . she falls for you . she ruins her marriage . and then what , ridge ? you come running back to me ? ridge : do n't do that . brooke : well , i 'm not available for you to come back to . not anymore . ridge : do n't give up on us . we have to put our family back together . brooke : do you know what ? maybe you do want her in the end . ridge : i do n't ! do n't be ridiculous ! brooke : no , there is something deeper going on here . it 's not like when you were 20 , when you 'd sleep with the models and forget their names . you were targeting your father 's wife . ridge : yes , i did target her because i wanted my dad to see who she really was , and -- brooke : right . that naturally led you to kiss her . ridge : you 're the only one i want . brooke : as much as i want you , as much as i will always want you ... i 'm not gon na marry you , ridge . i just did n't think that it would end this way . i have loved you for so many years . i think back to that first time i laid eyes on you . ridge : it was destiny . brooke : but it 's not . it 's not destiny . because destiny would n't hurt this much . destiny would n't be this hard . marrying you is only gon na bring me more pain . so it 's -- it 's better this way . i can finally just go back to loving you without expecting anything in return . goodbye , ridge . ridge : brooke , do n't do this . brooke .	eric tells rick that he is sure it is just pre - wedding jitters and everything will be all right between ridge and brooke tomorrow as usual . both ridge and quinn plead their case . it will only hurt eric and they do not want to do that . brooke finally says she wo n't tell but only if they promise they will keep their hands off each other . they gladly agree . ridge then asks brooke where does this leave them ? liam tells steffy that she does not have to worry . he is going to look at her like this for the rest of his life . quinn goes back to her room and finds eric creating a romantic mood . he says he feels confidant leaving rick in charge so they can stay here as long as they like . and ridge will marry tomorrow ; quinn says she will drink to that . she sees that eric still has his doubts . brooke tells ridge he is the one with the wandering eye yet he always turns it around and tries to make it her fault . that is the reason she can not marry him tomorrow . he made her believe in him again and she can not do that again . it is not going to happen . she tells him he can kiss any women he wants . she just is not going to stick around to see it . she is not happy and she will have to explain to rj how his dad betrayed him . this is all on him and quinn and she hopes it is worth it to him .

( chuckles ) a wonderful wedding for you . i -- taylor : i know . i know you are . i know . stephanie : you can teach an old dog new tricks , but they still dream the same old dreams , you know that ? it was such a beautiful love story with you and ridge . taylor : i know . i remember . i lived it -- the good and the bad . stephanie : you do n't think that story could continue ? taylor : ( sighs ) stephanie , please , come here . i want to talk to you . ( sighs ) i want you to look at it this way . after tomorrow , i wo n't have to always feel like the other woman or the girlfriend or the runner - up wife . you know how badly that feels . stephanie : mm - hmm . taylor : and i wo n't have to lie awake hearing that vile little voice in my head saying , `` what 's brooke got that i have n't got ? `` whip loves me for me . i 'm not going to be second choice . stephanie : i know . i know . i love you , and i want you to be happy . and i was just standing here , you know , kind of thinking and ... i just do n't want you tomorrow to step in front of the minister and be about to say the same vows that you say to ridge and find that you ca n't say them to someone else . that 's all .	nick and jackie are n't sure what position they will find for aggie , but they 'll find something . aggie overhears an intimate conversation between bridget and owen . he tells bridget that nick and jackie are n't perfect and neither are they . he can accept that and bridget needs to also . taylor pops into fc and announces to all that she is getting married tomorrow . they are all happy for her . eric even agrees not to bring donna if that is what taylor wants . donna does n't take the news well though . and is even more non - plussed when eric invites stephanie to stay in their guest house if she has to move out of taylor 's . whip asks his cousin , oliver , to be his best man . then he announces to jackie 's office that he is getting married tomorrow and like him or not , they all have to come . steffy gloats to hope that now she will be oliver 's boss if he is working at fc . she latches onto oliver and tells him that officially he is her date since she is maid of honor . hope tells her to lay off trying to catch her man .

[ scene_break ] rick : amber and i were in the middle of a meeting . let 's not be rude , mom . brooke : what are you meeting about ? rick : i was asking her input on this . ( sighs ) brooke : why ? you 're not working with rick , amber , and you have to accept that . rick : whoa , whoa . rick will decide who rick is gon na work with . brooke : okay , normally , i would agree with that , but when it comes to amber , i have to draw the line . this company needs you , rick . your line has to be a success . rick : and it will be . brooke : yes , i have no doubt about that if you 're working with caroline . rick : do n't micromanage my life . i do know what i 'm doing . brooke : i love you , rick , and i 'm worried about you . amber has hurt you many times before . do n't let her do it again . [ scene_break ] hope : i think that you and my brother are gon na make a really great team . caroline : i really like his work . it 's refined , yet edgy . hope : has he seen any of yours ? caroline : i showed him my book . hope : yeah ? karen : tell them what he said . caroline : he said it was very forrester . katie : well , that 's wonderful . liam : when do you start ? caroline : they 're having a reception at eric and stephanie 's place so that i can meet people . liam : i 'm assuming amber 's gon na be there . katie : yeah , you can count on that . caroline : this amber seems like quite the character . liam : uh ... bill : you know what she tried to pull on your cousin ? caroline : oh , the paternity thing . i heard . karen : she 's got a lot of nerve , that one . caroline : she also has a lot of talent . i saw some of her renderings . hope : yeah , well , that 's why she 's partnering with rick . caroline : is that the only reason ? hope : um ... i think rick has kind of a blind spot when it comes to amber . caroline : so ... it 's more than professional ? liam : ( laughs ) hope : you know , rick 's got a mind of his own . i feel like you tell him one thing , a lot of times , he 'll do the opposite . caroline : oh , that 's not always a bad trait . katie : so apparently rick made quite an impression on you . caroline : i have a feeling that rick makes an impression on everyone . hope : ( laughs ) bill : so i 'm surprised you did n't come to me if caroline was looking for a job . katie : where bill can keep an eye on you . karen : she wants to be a designer , not a journalist . bill : she could write about fashion . karen : well , maybe if you had someone as good - looking as rick forrester over here . caroline : okay , enough . hope : okay , i - i 'm sorry to break this up , but i actually have to get back to the office . liam : are you feeling any better ? hope : yeah . yeah , i 'll be fine . mm - hmm liam : all right , call me if you need anything . hope : okay , i will . caroline ...

( laughs ) [ scene_break ] rick : you 'll definitely have the proofs by morning , and then we can make the adjustments after the meeting . right . thank you . so where were we ? amber : oh , your mother was just slandering me , as usual . brooke : your actions speak for themselves . amber : can anyone ever change your point of view ? brooke : i 've given you many chances , amber , and i 've regretted it every time . rick : all right , let 's just be real about this . the only reason my -- why my line has gotten as far as it has is because of our partnership . amber and i , we work well together . amber : you -- you like our work before you knew i was involved . brooke : i 'm not saying you 're not talented , but there 's many talented designers . and it takes a particular kind of designer to work here at forrester creations , and it 's not you . amber : listen , i am just asking for a chance , okay ? if it does n't work out , i -- if -- if our work falls flat , if -- if it does n't work out for rick , then i will leave . but please just give me a chance . brooke : i will give you a glowing recommendation . amber : ( sighs ) brooke : i 'm sure there 's a number of houses that you could work at but this place is wrong for you . you see this ? ( sighs ) this is forrester . you are not . you know what i 'm talking about . and caroline 's perfect to work here . she 's the kind of designer that we look for as an a - list designer . she 's beautiful . she 's smart . she 's intelligent . she 's a natural . she 'll represent this company beautifully . oh , come on . you 've met her . you have to agree with me . amber : ( scoffs ) you know this -- this is n't about my work , rick . even your mother knows it 's good . this is personal . she does n't like me . please , do n't let her destroy everything we 've built together .

deacon : this feeling -- i got to know . i mean , this can not just be me . are you feeling this , too ? brooke : you know i 'll always care . deacon : no , no , no . i 'm not talking about that . i 'm talking about what you said at the meeting earlier . brooke : i meant every word of it . you 're very special to me , and you 're the one person that i 've really been able to count on . deacon : then i 'm not crazy ? then there is something here , something between us ? i mean , we -- we could have a future together . brooke : deacon ... deacon : no , listen . i 've always been honest with you about how i feel . i need you to be straight with me right now . please , tell me ... is there a chance for us ? quinn : thank you for giving me a second chance . rick : do n't make me regret it . quinn : i wo n't . i wo n't . i -- this job means everything to me , and i 'm thrilled to be back here at forrester , working with my son . rick : you think she 's up for it ? wyatt : i think she 's making a lot of positive changes . she wo n't let you down . rick : okay . i mean it . i 'll be watching you . quinn : yes . yes . rick : one bad move , and -- quinn : no , no , no , no , no . wo n't happen . wo n't happen . i will be on my best behavior . rick : i hope you mean that . ridge : all right . we 're here . make it quick . ivy : why is she here ? katie : hi . bill : hey . liam : you 're slacking , dad . bill : you are funny . liam : yeah ? bill : you know , i made you president . i can unmake you president . liam : i 'm just trying to keep you on your toes , that 's all . bill : what are you doing ? liam : what ? bill : that 's her job as my wife and my executive vice president . liam : okay . i 'm pretty sure that qualifies you for sainthood . katie : it does . liam : yeah . katie : it does . bill : everybody 's just so funny today ! liam : [ laughs ] katie : so , did we miss anything ? liam : uh , no . pretty light day here . ca n't say the same for forrester . katie : why ? what 's going on at forrester ? liam : well , ivy texted me . apparently , rick has just called a huge meeting . bill : i wonder what that 's about . katie : so , rick is c.e.o . why is it weird that he 's calling a meeting ? bill : he 's a weird dude . liam : yeah . well , you should see the way he 's treating ivy and caroline . bill : he 's a greedy , power - hungry sadist . katie : that 's funny . i think i 've used those exact same words to describe you . liam : no , no , no . this is a whole different story . i mean , the way that rick is running forrester is -- bill : well , tell her about your plan . liam : well , it 's kind of not happening right now because it 's on hold . katie : what plan ? liam : i had this idea to take over forrester . carter : i thought she was banned from the building . pam : yeah , well , so did i , but apparently -- ivy : wait . you invited her here ? rick : i did . ivy : why would you do that ? ridge : get to the point . we 've got work to do . rick : as you know , our last quarter was nearly flawless . there 's one department that needs improving -- an edge , a maturity that only one person can deliver . pam : no , wait . rick , you are not saying -- rick : i would like you all to welcome quinn back to forrester creations . brooke : this is about quinn . you 've finally realized what kind of a woman she is . deacon : no ! i love her ! look , i - i committed to her for a reason , brooke , and i was sure i was doing the right thing , but now i -- brooke : now you should be having second thoughts about your fiancée . deacon : i get that you do n't like her , okay ? and you 've got every reason not to . but quinn 's good for me , brooke . she 's made me a better man , and i want to marry her ! this crazy connection that you and i have -- i mean , is it me , or has it gotten stronger ? look , i just -- i do n't think i could live with myself if i just let the opportunity pass by , i mean , if i did n't at least take a shot . ridge is out of the picture now , bill is with katie , and me -- i 'm standing right here . please tell me . give me a sign or something . i mean , is there any potential ? is there any possibility for us ? katie : so , steffy basically said , `` no relationship , no takeover `` ? liam : more or less . katie : oh . that sounds like something she 's day . and ridge wo n't go behind his father 's back . bill : which is ironic , being that eric made rick c.e.o . he 's never been loyal to ridge . katie : well , rick is presiding over a very successful company . liam : yeah . see , that does n't matter . it 's about how he 's treating people . katie : i 'm not defending his behavior . it 's been despicable . but he is my nephew . bill : and caroline is my niece . and she does n't have a father to protect her . katie : she 's got two very capable mothers . and i 'm sure she appreciates her uncle bill 's support and protection . liam : this is not just about caroline , guys . i mean , it 's ivy . it 's carter . it 's pam . it 's charlie . they 're all miserable . katie : what does wyatt think > bill : oh , he 's on board with liam and me . he wants rick out as much as we do . katie : brooke is still part of that company . i do n't want her to be hurt . liam : oh , trust me -- dethroning rick is what 's best for everyone . if we let him continue on like this , there 's not gon na be a company to run . katie : she 's his mother . i 'm not sure she would agree with you . liam : [ sighs ] bill : i own part of that company , okay ? and rick is a smarmy little dictator , running around , acting like he 's god . there 's only one of those -- me . he 's got to go . liam : it 's gon na take some time , but i 'm determined to get rick out of there . pam : quinn working here again ? rick , you ca n't be serious . rick : the decision has been made . carter : she 's dangerous , rick -- a liability . i would n't advise bringing her back . rick : quinn has made mistakes , admittedly , but no one can deny the fact that she is insanely talented . ivy : exactly ! she 's insane , all right ! she 's nuts ! she pushed me off a bridge ! do you remember that ? ! ridge : not to mention what she did to your sister . pam : and liam -- she threatened him with a sword . carter : and you 're hiring her ? rick : rehiring her . carter : but you fired her . rick : i changed my mind . pam : wyatt , even you must think this is a terrible idea . wyatt : uh ... hey , this is between rick and my mother . ridge : you keep doing that . you ask us to -- rick : all right . everybody just calm down ! i 've already advised quinn that we 'll be watching her very carefully . ridge : how are you gon na do that ? ivy : yeah . everything she does is sneaky and underhanded . rick : some of our buyers prefer ivy 's designs . we 're getting requests for quinn 's . why ca n't we have both options ? you 're both talented . there 's a demand , and i 'm delivering it . ridge : this is unbelievable . i 'm sorry . quinn : look , i - i 'm sorry . if i may , i realize this has taken everyone off guard . i was , too , when he called me . rick : it 's all right , quinn . i 'm in charge here . i make the decisions . i 'm gon na run this company as i see fit . if anybody does n't like it , well , there 's the door . but quinn -- she 's here to stay . brooke : if quinn knew what you were saying right now ... deacon : the last thing i want to do is hurt her . brooke : why ? she 's hurt so many people . she 's damaged so many lives . deacon : brooke , she 's not a bad person . i mean , she 's just doing the best that she can . brooke : really ? did she do the best for our daughter ? deacon : i told her to stay away from hope . brooke : but she did n't , did she ? she did n't listen to you . she disrespected you because she went after hope again and again . deacon : brooke , she was not responsible for hope losing her baby . now , you say what you want about quinn , but that was not her fault . brooke : hope and wyatt would be together right now if it were n't for her ! they would be expecting their precious little baby . deacon : nobody hurts for our daughter more than i do . brooke : do n't you see what quinn does ? she eats away at people . she destroys them little by little , one by one , and i 'm afraid that you 're going to be her next victim . marrying her would be a huge mistake . i know you do n't want to go through with it . deacon : why do n't i want to marry her , brooke ? brooke : you want to be with somebody , deacon . you want companionship . but you do n't want quinn . deacon : then who ? i mean , who -- who 's -- who 's the woman for me , brooke ? tell me . is it you ? rick : i 'm serious . if you do n't like the way i operate things , no one is forcing you to stay . i have to do everything in my power to make sure this company reaches its full potential . that 's why i brought quinn on . that 's the only reason . ridge : that 's the only reason , right ? 'cause everything 's always so clear - cut with you . quinn : you know what ? i understand if everyone has their reservations about me . i 've done things in the past i deeply regret . but i 'm giving you my word those things are never going to happen again . carter : mm - hmm . yeah , right . ivy : yeah , thanks , quinn , but we 've heard all of that before . quinn : look , you can ask wyatt . i 'm a changed woman . are n't i , honey ? wyatt : she 's been trying . she 's really making an effort . quinn : i have been designing more than ever . i 'm engaged to deacon . i 'm settling down . i 'm thinking about my future . ridge : settling down with deacon -- that 's supposed to make us feel better ? come on . really ? wow . pam : that 's not exactly a great selling point . rick : all right , enough ! everybody stop your whining and get over it ! i brought quinn back . end of story ! does anybody else have any issues ? katie : overthrowing rick -- that 's a bold move . it could have tremendous consequences . i do n't want brooke to get hurt . she ca n't take it , especially not right now . bill : it 's not gon na be right now , katie . i mean , it 's gon na take months . liam : hey , guys ? is something going on with brooke ? does it have anything to do with how she acted at your wedding ? katie : she drank a little too much at the wedding . liam : yeah , i know . i mean , i kind of laughed it off . i thought she was just being festive . bill : might be a little more than that . liam : have you talked to her ? katie : i have , and she says she 's fine , but i think she 's hiding something . bill : katie 's reached out , invited her over . she 's always busy . katie : or so she says . whatever 's going on , i just hope she 's getting the support that she needs . deacon : you always were mysterious . i just ca n't seem to get a read on you . brooke : really ? i think you know me very well . deacon : i 've asked you this before , and you 've always said that you do n't have feelings for me . when you said it , it was n't a shock . that belief is what allowed me to propose to quinn , to convince her to marry me . brooke : i 'm sure it did n't take too much persuading . deacon : what , are you kidding me ? i had to beg her . i mean , i had to -- i had to pour my heart out there , and i meant every single word of it . brooke : deacon , she lured you in . she manipulated you . that 's what she does . deacon : this is real , brooke ! i 'm nuts about her . but i proposed to her when you were out of the picture . you just were n't an option . what am i supposed to do now ? i know that you 've always been the one for me . you 're the mother to my daughter . i mean , you 're the woman that i should have held on to and loved and -- [ cell phone rings ] deacon : hey . quinn : where are you ? are you still with your friend ? deacon : uh , yeah . i 'm just finishing up . quinn : i need to see you right away . deacon : uh , what 's up ? quinn : i 'm at forrester . can you believe it ? deacon : what are you doing there ? quinn : just get over here ! i 'll see you soon . brooke : i 'm guessing that was quinn . deacon : yeah . she wants to see me . brooke : that 's too bad . deacon : what -- what are we doing here ? i mean , what is this ? i - i need to know where i stand with you . ivy : is , uh -- is this a good time ? liam : it 's always a good time for you . are you kidding me ? ivy : [ chuckles ] liam : well , my day just got a whole lot better . how are you ? ivy : uh ... [ chuckles ] liam : oh , no . what ? what happened ? what 's wrong ? ivy : i do n't even know where to start . liam : is it rick ? ivy : yeah . liam : it 's rick . damn it ! i knew it ! i knew when you texted me . what did he do now ? ivy : okay . so , he and i were supposed to have a meeting , just one on one , rick and me , and then he had pam cancel that at the very last minute . liam : why ? ivy : because he called everyone in to his office for some big announcement . he had ridge there . carter was there , pam , wyatt . well , he was there to start with . liam : oh , no . he did n't fire wyatt again , did he ? ivy : no . no . liam : good . ivy : but you know what ? this is n't much better . liam : what ? ivy : rick has rehired wyatt 's mother . quinn is working back at forrester . quinn : ohh ! i 'm back ! baby , i 'm back ! wyatt : you 're not happy about this , are you ? quinn : oh , this is the third happiest day of my life . i mean , the first , of course , is the day that you were born , and then the second was when deacon proposed to me . wyatt : top three . not bad . quinn : yes ! oh , i 'm so excited ! and i am -- i am so grateful to be given a second chance . wyatt : well , actually , it 's more like your fourth or fifth chance , but , i mean , who 's counting , right ? quinn : oh , come on . rick still believes in me . wyatt : yes , but everyone else seems pretty pissed . quinn : they 'll come around . wyatt : i do n't know , mom . but you know what ? i ... am proud of you . so , congratulations . quinn : see ? that 's all that matters , is that my son is proud of me ... wyatt : mm - hmm . quinn : ... and that i have deacon 's support and commitment . this job is just -- it 's just a lovely , scrumptious cherry on top . wyatt : great ! do n't screw it up . quinn : look at me . my big return to forrester , working with my amazing son , about to marry my incredible guy . my entire life is falling right into place . deacon : i 'm not leaving till you tell me how you feel . brooke : i ca n't . deacon : no , no , no , no , no . i want to hear you say it . brooke : [ sighs ] deacon ... deacon : come on . listen . hey . i told you where i stand . now it 's your turn . brooke : the strength that you 've given me and the things that you said to me ... it -- it means so much to me , more than i can tell you . i mean , you 've been so kind and so helpful and so supportive through this time in my life . i honestly do n't know what i would have done without you . deacon : brooke , you know you 've helped me as much as i 've helped you . brooke : no . no . i 'm the lonely one . i 'm the one who 's been lost . but you did help me to remind me that life could be great . and then i ca n't help but think about those times when we were together ... how unexpected and how passionate ... they were ... creating our beautiful baby girl . so , yeah . yeah , i think ... that this could be our time . but -- deacon : but -- but -- but what ? brooke : [ sighs ] deacon : brooke , tell me . tell me . please tell me what 's standing in our way . brooke : oh , gosh . so many things , um ... especially the fact that you 're engaged to quinn , of all people . deacon : so , that 's it ? that 's -- that 's what 's standing in our way -- that i 'm engaged to quinn . but if not ... you and me , we ... brooke : i think it could be our chance .	deacon tells brooke that this can not just be him . does she feel this too ? she says he is very special to her . he says that is not what he means . he needs to know if there is any future for them . he admits he loves quinn and she has made him a better man but there is still this strong connection and he has to know if she feels it too and if there is any chance of a future together . wyatt tells rick that his mother is making a lot of positive changes and he thinks quinn will not let him down . ivy and ridge walk in and she wonders why quinn is here . pam and carter soon join and rick tells them to welcome quinn back to fc . liam tells bill and katie that things are light here at spencer today but he ca n't say the same at fc . he just got a text from ivy and a lot is going on . bill calls rick a dirty little sadist . he also advises liam to tell katie of his plan . she is not surprised to hear that steffy will not give her shares without liam 's love . liam says this is not just about caroline . rick is making all of them miserable . bill agrees that rick is a smarmy little dictator and he has to go .

'cause we have no collection . shirley : and shifty 's calling my phone nonstop . sally : thomas was really sweet to me . he was a gentleman . he even stood up to steffy for me after i fell in the water . shirley : what are you getting at ? sally : i 'm just rethinking this whole idea . stealing from the forresters . i 'm sorry . i just -- i ca n't do it . shirley : aww . your conscience is getting the best of you . aww . too bad . we 've already put the plan into motion . sally : what ? shirley : [ chuckles ] operation coco starts today . coco : hey , i 'm -- i 'm sorry i 'm late . i 'm still trying to find my way around the building . r.j. : oh , no , it 's okay . no , you 'll figure it out . oh . confidential . they 're not messing around . coco : [ chuckles ] r.j. : kind of overkill , if you ask me . coco : someday i will walk in here and not completely freak out that i 'm backstage at the forrester showroom . r.j. : even i get goosebumps . coco : [ chuckles ] r.j. : i 'm not sure if it 's because of where i am or who i 'm with . coco : hmm . probably both . r.j. : probably . coco : yeah . [ both laugh ] r.j. : nice necklace . coco : oh , thanks . thank you . r.j. : ' 30s , ' 40s ? coco : yeah . i 'm surprised you noticed . r.j. : hey , i 'm a forrester . i got style in my blood . coco : hmm . yeah , i 'd like to think i do , too . but actually it was sally 's . she was gon na , um , incorporate it in one of her collections , but she gave it to me instead . r.j. : nice sister . coco : yeah , she 's -- she 's the best . r.j. : you want to see something cool ? coco : sure . what ? what is it ? r.j. : some of my dad 's latest designs . coco : your dad 's designs ? coco : your dad 's designs ? r.j. : yeah , i was supposed to put them in the vault , but i wanted to show you first . coco : maybe it 's better if you do n't . r.j. : why not ? coco : because of my name . r.j. : come on . coco 's a great name . coco : no , i ... i just do n't want anyone to get the wrong idea . like , people do n't trust me as it is . r.j. : i trust you , okay ? that 's all that matters . besides , you 're legit . you work here . you got the badge and everything . forget about our last names . it does n't even cross my mind , all right ? coco : it really does n't bother you ? r.j. : no . not at all . how can i think about anything else with eyes like that ? coco : you are so full of it . r.j. : no , i 'm serious . you got a lot of things going for you . you 're smart , you 're funny , you got great reflexes , which saved me from a rogue forklift . coco : i see . r.j. : yeah . [ chuckles ] i just -- it 's not fair that you get treated differently just 'cause you 're a spectra . coco : thank you . rick : zende brought up a really good point . we need to be more vigilant about securing our designs . thomas : oh , come on . you 're not seriously concerned about coco , are you ? rick : thomas , we ca n't afford to have any leaks right now , especially with a spectra walking around our building and you seeing another one on the side ! thomas : i think you 're being a little paranoid . maya : she 's already pulled a few stunts . thomas : to create hype , to gain followers online . nicole : still , it says something about her character . thomas : guys , look , sally 's related to somebody that caused problems for us decades ago . i get it . but that does not mean sally is going to steal our designs . sally : you got coco to wear that necklace ? saul : sally , that was the plan all along . sally : yeah , i know . but that before i got to know thomas and spent time with the forresters . shirley : oh , gee . now you 're all best friends ! [ gasps ] why do n't we have them over for some ramen noodles ? sally : they are not bad people , grams . they have been surprisingly nice to me . obviously except for steffy . but look , it 's not fair to them or to coco . we ca n't use her like this . shirley : sally spectra , you listen to me . remember who you are and remember where you come from . you can not hang with the forresters ! they 're up here ! we 're down here ! you are just the flavor of the month . that 's all you are to them . you will never be on their level . my sister tried for years to earn their respect , but it never happened . sally : you 're wrong about that , grams . she did earn their respect , and eric said it himself . yes , okay ? i like to push the boundaries and stir the pot , but one thing i am not is a criminal ! shirley : we are not criminals ! we are poaching , not stealing . sally : it 's the same difference ! saul : wait , wait . i 'm -- i 'm not gon na end up at county for this , am i ? shirley : this is the fashion business . everybody cheats a little here and there . your great - aunt sally never went to jail , and neither will we . but we wo n't survive another month unless we get our hands on those forrester designs and beat them to the runway ! coco is our in . she is our eyes in the hallowed halls of forrester . sally , we have no choice . we have to do this . darlita , coco , saul -- we 're all counting on you to come through . so buck up , sister . i will not let you back down on this . [ door opens ] nicole : hey , babe . i was thinking about ordering us some lunch . [ door closes ] zende : i just saw r.j. and coco backstage together . i was n't spying , but they were alone . i think he likes her . nicole : she 's a pretty girl . zende : yeah , i just hope she is n't using him to her advantage . nicole : yeah . but at the same time , people could have said that about you and me . zende : i do n't know anything for sure . it 's just a feeling . you do n't think it 's strange that we 're suddenly surrounded by spectras ? i mean , we have r.j . working with coco . thomas is hanging out with sally . it 's weird , right ? nicole : it is kind of crazy that sally flew to australia just for steffy 's wedding . zende : exactly . and rumor has it spectra is dead broke . i mean , sally could n't design a dress to save her life . but somehow she is still in that building trying to get that company off the ground . why ? nicole : it must be costing them a lot of money . zende : right . i mean , how is she paying for rent , her employees ? is everyone just working for free over there ? nicole : so , no cash , no prospects , willing to do anything for attention . sounds like they 're desperate . zende : desperate people do desperate things . i 'm gon na keep a close eye on sally and coco . i do n't want them messing with the company or my family . sally : i really do n't want to do this . shirley : do you have any other , uh , plans ? 'cause i 'd like to hear them . all righty then . let 's get this puppy up and running . saul , what 's taking so long ? saul : almost there . i just need to log on . sally : wait ! okay , give me one more day . i will come up with something else -- a plan . just anything but this . shirley : what are you fixing to do ? uh , design another whole collection that can be panned by jarrett in the morning ? [ sighs ] sally , do n't fight it . we have to be true to ourselves . we have to borrow from the forresters . saul : all right . we 're ready . shirley : here we go . [ gasps ] look ! saul : it 's working ! shirley : there 's r.j. what 's he got ? oh , lord , please let it be something good . r.j. : yeah , my dad 's latest designs are in here . totally top secret . shirley : come on ! come on , come on ! stop your yammering , r.j. , and open those babies up ! [ cell phone rings ] sally : it 's thomas . hey . thomas : hey , did i , uh , catch you at a bad time ? sally : no . no , not at all . thomas : well , i 'm just checking in , seeing how you 're doing after the flight . sally : yeah , uh , it 's -- it 's a bit crazy being back home . little bit of an adjustment , going back to work and responsibilities . i really wish we were there longer . thomas : yeah , me , too . sally : it was really amazing just forgetting about life and getting to hang out with you . thanks again for inviting me . thomas : well , thank you for surprising me . sally , you were the best part of the whole trip . sally : look , i have to get back to reality , but , uh , thanks for checking in . saul : i ca n't handle the suspense ! open it already ! r.j. : all right . coco : no way . r.j. : yep . coco : wow . i 'm -- i 'm dying . the -- the -- the chiffon and the pleating and , like , the way it gathers at the waist . r.j. : not bad , huh ? coco : it 's so gorgeous . shirley : hot dog ! will you look at that ? ! saul : that 's a ridge forrester original ! shirley : [ squeals ] we have hit the jackpot ! saul : [ chuckles ] shirley : saul , you have done it . you are a genius ! mwah ! oh ! sally , you should see this beauty . this is how we are gon na survive . this is our future . this is how we get c.j . and shifty off our backs . sally : grams , i -- shirley : no ! no , no , no ! i will not let you chicken out now ! do not let thomas ' family get to you ! you need to fly the pirate flag and strike ! we are a knockoff house ! we are going to make your aunt sally proud , but you have to be all in ! no more hemming and hawing ! it 's now or never !	saul is worried . he tells shirley that coco is not wearing the necklace so she will not be spying for them today . they tell coco that sally will be back today and something is missing from her outfit . she needs some accessories , maybe the necklace that sally gave her . coco says she is saving that for a special occasion . shirley claims anytime she steps into a room it is a special occasion . so they put it on her ; its perfect . rick tells rj they need to keep an eye on coco and not just let her roam the building .especially keeping their designs away from her and they are all over the building . rj says give her a chance ; she can be trusted . thomas returns and they all greet him . he says the photo shooting went well and all had a great time . thomas says the past is the past and all the pranks are harmless . rick says still they can not have a spectra wandering around their building . thomas says sally and now coco would not steal their designs . sally also returns and shirley and saul welcome her back . shirley says she went down there on a mission so she must have some pictures . being a gracious guest is one thing but think about her dreams of being spectra again . sally says thomas was a class act and she can not do this by stealing from them . shirley says it is too late ; operation coco starts today . coco finds rj backstage and he admires her necklace up close . she tells him her sister gave it to her ; she 's the best . he asks if she would like to see some of his dad 's designs since she is here . she says maybe he should n't because of her name . she would not want people to get the wrong idea . he says she works here so it is all right .
