[ hector sighs ] it never should have happened . i knew her parents hated me . to them i was just `` that ramirez boy . `` but not to her . i thought we had something special . | as jackie and massimo gush over the thought that brook just might accept nick 's proposal , deacon calls jackie to tell her he is waiting at the end of her driveway to speak to her . she goes to meet him and is told of brook 's reaction to nick 's song . she is very happy to hear what deacon has to tell her . deacon kisses her , leaving her a little bit stunned . |

( laughs ) all : ( laughing ) whip : right . exactly . look , she had me even before we said hello . and the one thing that you -- you mentioned during the ceremony , sweetheart , is , um , the part about the date that you remembered the most , and that was the laughter . well , for me , it was n't so much about the laughter . it was -- it was really pretty magical , because , uh , on some level , i knew . i knew you were the one . so ... taylor ... you are the love of my life , and that is forever . thank you for making me the happiest man on earth . i love you . mm .

[ both chuckle ] katie : oh , donna , i 'm so happy . donna : because of ridge . katie : yeah . i mean , he 's ... changed everything . uh ... [ sighs ] uh , this house , for example . you know , i mean , i used to wander around after i would put will down , and ... it never felt like my home . and i thought , `` we 're gon na have to move . we ca n't stay in this -- this big , empty , cold house , `` and ... now it 's anything but , you know ? it 's full of laughter and fun and ... support . he supports me . he trusts me . he respects me , and god -- that feels so good . donna : i - i - i 'm thrilled for you . [ sighs ] i am . it 's , uh ... it 's just a little weird to me that you 're finding this with ridge . katie : 'cause he was always supposed to be brooke 's destiny . donna : well , yeah . [ sighs ] katie : well , i 've learned that fate does n't move in a straight line . you know , you meet someone , and you 're with them for a while , and you grow , and you change . and you learn the lessons that you 're supposed to learn , and then you move on to where you 're supposed to be . donna : so that 's what 's happening ? katie : i never wanted to be happy at brooke 's expense . she 's my sister , and i do love her , but choices were made . and those choices have -- have changed our lives forever . those choices have consequences . things are different now . and we 're just gon na have to adjust .

[ scene_break ] maya : i do n't get it . what 's not to like ? the shots are fantastic . oliver : not according to ridge . maya : well , what 's he objecting to ? oliver : `` out of sync with the image forrester wants to project . `` `` static . `` `` po - poppy ? `` what does that even mean ? maya : i have no idea . oliver : it does n't bode well for my longevity around here . maya : okay . perspective . not liking one photo shoot does not have to translate to `` you 're fired . `` [ knock on door ] pam : oh , oliver , uh , ridge wants you at the management meeting -- 10 minutes . [ scene_break ] eric : so , ridge has called a meeting . anybody know what this is about ? rick : you must be kidding me . he has n't told you , as well ? eric : no . ridge : morning , everyone . let 's begin . rick : before we do that , i just want to congratulate the team . hope for the future sales are steadily rising ... profits , accordingly , particularly in our rodeo boutique . it continues to be our crown jewel . caroline : ha ! [ all chuckle ] rick : you heard me right . the stephanie forrester collection appears to be a success . not only did we drum up a bunch of online interest , but also in- store . that 's another contribution from wyatt . hope : i 'll let him know that you think it 's so great . rick : the couture line is consistent . it continues to be a major success in europe , in asia , and equally as strong right here in the red , white , and blue . ridge : rick ? rick : yeah . ridge : how does couture compare to hope for the future ? rick : uh , there is no comparison , ridge . ridge : what does that mean -- it 's apples and oranges ? rick : no , actually , it 's a - a -- it 's a different label that gets sewn on the inside ? it 's a different feel . it 's a different line . ridge : and there 's the problem , rick -- brand identity . people got to be looking at our company thinking that we have a split personality . it 's not gon na work with our customer base . they 're confused . i know we 're committed to hope for the future , and i think that 's great . it 's fine . but it ca n't be its own , little bubble . do you mind ? here . on the left , you have couture . on the right , hope for the future . you see the difference , right -- in color , in contrast , light ? hope for the future looks like it 's from a different design house altogether . it does n't have the -- the depth and the richness that couture branding has . hope : okay . are you suggesting a new ad campaign ? ridge : mm - hmm , with a different photographer . rick : what ? ridge : oliver 's got to go . hope : why ? ! ridge : he 's not cutting it anymore , that 's why . and the product coming out of the paris office is superior . and that 's why i 'm closing down the photo studio here in l.a. , effective immediately . [ knock on door ] rick : come in . oliver : you wanted to see me ? [ scene_break ] katie : so , i 'm sure you 've been talking to brooke ? how is she holding up ? donna : it 's -- it 's difficult , you know ? rj finally asked brooke whether his dad was coming home , and ... well , she finally had to tell him the truth . [ sighs ] i mean , not -- not about the two of you being together , obviously . but that his dad was n't gon na be there . katie : that must have been awful . donna : yeah . i mean , i - i guess it could n't have been worse . rj 's so mature and resilient , you know ? uh , after he heard the answer that he needed , he was actually the one reassuring brooke . katie : well , he 's a good kid . donna : he is . katie : i 'm sorry , donna . donna : yeah . you know , brooke 's , uh ... being really cynical . actually , i do n't even know if that 's the right word . she 's , uh -- she 's taking a long , hard look at herself , and she 's not liking what she sees . katie : well , maybe that 's not such a bad thing , you know ? the way she 's lived her life -- going from one relationship to another . everybody 's got to be alone sometimes . donna : [ sighs ] katie : i - i 'm sorry . i know that sounds really selfish . donna : no , it does n't . katie : i just ca n't give him up , donna . donna : i understand . you know what ? this is a really challenging time right now , but we are gon na get through this . we are . and in the meantime , i am so glad that you are this happy . katie : [ chuckles ] donna : i mean , you have been through so much . nobody deserves it more than you do . katie : thank you for standing by me . donna : you 're my baby sister . [ sighs ] katie : ridge 's meeting probably has started . [ sighs ] it 's a big one , but nobody knows that yet . donna : why ? what 's going on ? katie : he just has a very clear vision where forrester is concerned -- you know , what it should be and what it should n't be , and ... i do n't think it 's gon na make everyone happy . [ scene_break ] ridge : why do n't you have a seat ? oliver : i 'll stand , if it 's all the same . ridge : it is all the same . whatever makes you feel more comfortable . rick : do n't you think you 're being a little bit hasty ? ridge : i 've thought about this a lot . if hope for the future is gon na sustain long - term , it has to be more of a natural extension of couture . it ca n't be its own entity . it ca n't be its own little bubble . otherwise , these two lines ca n't benefit from each other . oliver , you 're a smart guy , right ? oliver : yeah . ridge : have a look . what do you see ? no , i 'll go first . on the left , you got couture . timeless . on the right , hope for the future . here today . tomorrow , who knows ? hope : wow . thanks for that . ridge : not attacking you . it 's nothing to do with you . this is business . the photographers in paris have done a great job . oliver : you 're saying i did n't ? ridge : what i 'm saying is we 're at an impasse here , a crossroads . cart , help me out . carter : creative differences . ridge : creative differences . that 's it . so it 's time to move on . oliver : you 're firing me ? ridge : yes . but i know you believe in your talent , so i 'm sure you 'll find a job somewhere else . oliver : your company , your call . i 'll pack my stuff , be out of here by the end of the day . [ door closes ] ridge : i made it pretty clear why i did what i did . brooke : i think you should reconsider , ridge . hope : oliver is a part of the forrester family . he 's been here for years ! ridge : he 's a professional photographer . it happens all the time . it 's business . rick : no , this ai n't business ! this is a vendetta ! you are not c.e.o . and i do n't think i have to remind you or anyone else at this table i oversee hope for the future , and i am president of this company . ridge : and that 's the other reason i called this meeting today . rick : really ? [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] maya : what happened ? oliver : what i predicted . maya : you got fired ? ! oliver : `` thank you for your work . do n't let the door hit you on the way out . `` maya : but why ? you 're a fantastic photographer . oliver : i think your fiancé said it best -- `` creative differences . `` maya : different than what ? oliver : ridge 's vision for the company . maya : but it 's hope 's line , and she 's never shown that -- oliver : ridge is taking over . if the people in this company do n't realize it yet , they will . [ scene_break ] katie : ridge used to be c.e.o . you know , he 's got a lot of management experience . he wants to use that knowledge to make forrester more efficient . donna : rick is n't gon na like that . katie : no , i do n't imagine he will . donna : i - is ridge gon na go after the presidency ? katie : ridge and rick butting heads -- it 's inevitable . [ chuckles ] i guess i 'm surprised it took this long . [ scene_break ] ridge : your tenure as president has been very successful , and you should be proud . but it ends here . i 'm gon na lead this company forward . rick : you know , regardless of what you may think , ridge , i am no seat - warmer . i earned that position . i climbed that ladder rung by rung , and i 've done nothing to warrant losing it . caroline : rick is incredible . profits are up . hope for the future is performing better than it ever has . hope : without any input from you , i might add . brooke : you ca n't just walk in here and dismantle everything that everybody 's put together this past year . this team -- they have proven themselves more than once . and rick -- he 's not oliver . he is the president of forrester creations . you ca n't just arbitrarily fire him . ridge : honey , you have no idea what i 'm capable of . brooke : oh , i 'm beginning to see . but you 're not going to steamroll my children . hope for the future is doing just fine . it does n't need fixing . so your assessment is wrong . hope and rick , caroline , wyatt and quinn -- they rebuilt hope for the future . it was a dying line , and they built it to be more successful than it ever was . so i 'm not gon na stand here and watch you tear down everything that they built ! and that little coup that you think you 're gon na pull off -- that 's not going to happen , because you left here , ridge . you did n't want anything to do with the l.a. office . and rick -- he earned the presidency ... on merit . you are not going to take it away from him . ridge : i do n't want to upset you , but this really has nothing to do with you . brooke : really ? you really believe that ? eric , there can only be one president of forrester creations , correct ? so who 's it gon na be ? ridge ... or our son ? | in bed , both katie and ridge lay in each other 's arms and profess how happy they are and how things worked out . he wishes he had not called that meeting now . he 'd rather stay in bed all day . katie knows that brooke wo n't give up so easy . he says she will as she is his past and he 's exactly where he wants to be . eric tells brooke that he is happy she came in today . he was beginning to worry about her . she ways destiny works both ways and she needed to learn from this in how to define herself without a man . he tells her she is a beautiful , unique brooke , beautiful inside and out .. one of the most wonderful human beings he has ever known . she says she does not need a man in her life . she will have more energy now for her kids like rj was very disappointed when this happened . eric says he does n't get ridge what he thinks he can not get with brooke . he understands that he was upset with the thing with bill but to just slam the door on their marriage is so unforgiving . brooke says she will learn to move on with her life and value herself more . she wants to get more involved with work and be a valuable part of forrester again . she says she hears there is a meeting and she 'd like to sit in . eric says of course . she says she is gon na change ; he 'll see . donna waltzes right up to katie 's bedroom and katie tells her that she is so happy with ridge . he has changed everything . this house was way too big and now it is filled with laughter and fun . donna is happy for her but says it is still a little weird that it is with ridge . katie says she loves her sister very much but choices were made that have changed their lives forever . things are different now and they will all have to adjust . rick tells hope that brooke told him that she was going through a dark spot right now but they 'd keep an eye on her and be there if she needs them . caroline and carter come in and asks rick if he knows why ridge called this meeting just said management . oliver finds out online that ridge does n't like any of the hftf shots . ridge arrives at the office all chipper and even hands out a compliment and gives pam a raise . he tells her to call oliver into this meeting . |
brooke : what is it ? what did taylor say ? tell me . something about hope ? and what does it have to do with thomas and douglas ? hope : i 'll always be here for you , douglas . always . douglas : but something could happen toyou , too . hope : hey . you miss your mom , do n't you ? yeah , well , i understand . douglas : because of your baby ? you miss beth ? hope : exactly . yeah . just like the same way you miss mommy . katie : well , this has been delicious . bill : mmm . very . katie : you can admit it , you know . that you 're the one setting up all the surprises . bill : how many times do i have to deny it ? it was n't me . katie : well , who else would know that i love a good fillet ? bill : uh , brooke , donna , maybe even pam and charlie , and the member of every waitstaff at any restaurant you 've ever eaten at . katie : okay . all right . fine . you 're -- you 're right . but if it 's not you and it 's not me , then ... who 's setting us up ? bill : i do n't know . but i 'll tell you what . it is time to find out . let 's go . katie : let 's go . bill : hmph ! brooke : you ca n't just bring it up and then just not tell me . ridge : i know . i just ... i - it seems , when you say left , then taylor says right , and maybe we do n't need that kind of friction right now . brooke : look , the friction is there regardless , so you might as well just say it . ridge : okay . it 's not -- it 's not a big deal . it 's just ... taylor thinks it 's a good idea that hope and douglas spend some time together . hope : is that it ? brooke : i do n't disagree with that . i do n't know why you think i would . so i think taylor 's right in this case . i think it would be good for hope and douglas to spend some time together . hope : hey , you want to make a deal ? douglas : what kind of deal ? hope : well , you know , we both get sad every now and then , and you might want to talk about your mommy , and sometimes i want to talk about my daughter . maybe we could help each other out . douglas : how ? hope : well , you know , we could tell stories and memories , and we could watch movies together and play games , and imagine your mom and beth in heaven together , taking care of each other . douglas : she 's a great mommy , so beth will be all right . hope : well , good . i 'm counting on that . thomas : well , something tells me that caroline will be telling beth the same thing right about now . hey . that sounds like a pretty good deal . if i were you , i 'd shake on it . douglas : deal . hope : deal . justin : you raised it how much ? will : $ 5 . justin : five doll -- he could n't possibly have another winning hand ? donna : oh , i would n't put it past him . will : it 's only 5 bucks . you spent more on your coffee this morning . donna : yeah , and i 'd like to buy my coffee tomorrow , so ...

[ scene_break ] rick : ridge completely overreacted . i mean , phoebe and i were just trying to spend some quality time together . you know ? alone , away from ridge 's evil eye . and we had no idea that he would find us up there . ashley : and what exactly did he find you doing ? i mean , i 'm just curious . rick : no , no , it 's nothing like that , okay ? we 're not -- we 're not ready for that . we agreed -- ashley : yeah , good -- does ridge know that ? rick : well , he clocked me before i had a chance to explain that . not that he would believe me anyway . ashley : yeah , and i 'm having a little trouble believing that myself . i am . i 'm sorry , you say you 're waiting , but for how long are you waiting , exactly ? are you going to wait until phoebe graduates from school , until she moves out of her parents ' home ? five years ? ten years ? rick : ashley , i do n't know , okay ? i really -- i have n't given it that much thought . ashley : yeah , obviously not . [ scene_break ] stephanie : brooke called off the engagement ? ridge : if you feel the need to do handsprings , will you at least go outside in the hall ? stephanie : look , i 'm not going to pretend that i 'm not relieved , all right ? but i can see that you 're very distressed by this . i 'm not going to make matters worse . ridge : it ca n't get any worse . stephanie : well , all right , then , all it can do is get better . ridge : and i do n't really need a pep talk right now . stephanie : wait a minute , did you or did you not , repeatedly , ask brooke to keep her son away from phoebe ? you see , this whole situation just illustrates the difference between the two of you as people and how you react to moral situations . i believe you have done the right thing to protect your daughter . ridge : so do i. i just hope brooke will see that once she calms down and gives me a chance to explain . stephanie : and if she does n't see it that way ? ridge : i need to find her first . damn it , why has n't she called yet ? what if she 's with nick ?

[ scene_break ] brooke : i probably should n't be here . but i am . and i need you to hear this . i 've loved ridge for practically my entire life . i was convinced that he was going to be my destiny , my soulmate . so , i 've had to live through all the tears and the disappointments -- but i ca n't really blame anybody for that . that was my fault . but what happened in sydney -- it was n't just disappointing . it was appalling . and it really opened my eyes . nick : well , i 'm glad for you . brooke : and you warned me . you told me if i went back to ridge , i would n't be happy . that his mother would turn on me . ridge would let me down . well , i just traveled 14 hours on a plane to get back here and tell you , that you were right . i mean , i could n't see that for myself ? i really see ridge and his family now for what they are . and you know what ? i see other things clearly , too . ridge and i are n't going to get married . it 's never going to happen for us . nick : well , i think that 's good for you . brooke : it 's good for me . it 's good for you . it 's good for both of us . nick : brooke -- now , you know i would do anything for you . so , if there 's anything that you need , or any way that i can help -- brooke : no , i do n't think you 're hearing me . i 'm telling you i made a mistake . i 'm telling you i never should have walked out on what we had . i 'm telling you that i am here for you . want bigger , more beautiful potted plants ? [ scene_break ] jackie : well , now i 'm the one who 's surprised . taylor : because we did n't elope ? jackie : because since you and nicky started seeing each other , everything has happened so fast . has something changed ? taylor : no . jackie : everything 's all right ? there 's no hurdles ? no bumps in the road -- taylor : no , we just want to enjoy the ride . jackie : well , you two are obviously very committed . you do n't need a ceremony to see that . taylor : oh , we will have one , when the time is right . jackie : well , i think it shows tremendous confidence . you know , deciding to take your time . taylor : well , listen ; i 've got to go upstairs . i 'm sure nick is wondering what happened to me down here .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : if she 's with that son of a bitch , then she does not deserve an apology . ridge : if i could just talk to her , brooke and i can work this out . maybe not in time for the wedding , but -- oh , man . the wedding ! i 'm going to have to make a statement at the opening . stephanie : honey , i told you , eric can take care of that for you . look , go home , all right ? you 've got to take care of yourself . now , try and get some sleep . ridge : not until i find her , and find out where we 're heading here -- that 's what i 've got to do first . stephanie : i 'm sorry , i can see that this is really -- really disappointed you . you worked so hard on that relationship -- ridge : mother , you do n't have to talk about it in the past tense , okay ? stephanie : all i 'm saying to you -- ridge : i do n't care what you 're saying . if you ca n't be supportive of me right here , then just leave me alone . stephanie : okay .

it 's more than crossed her mind . ridge : maybe . we do n't know any of this . brooke : taylor told me herself that she wants liam to go back to steffy . ridge : o - okay . but she would never use douglas to make that happen . brooke : are you sure about that ?

[ scene_break ] stephanie : brooke thinks that she has to protect her children from you ? ridge : because of what her own father did . abandoning his family the same way i abandoned brooke and the kids . stephanie : but it is n't the same thing at all . honey , steve logan took off for parts unknown . no one even heard from him again until i -- you would never do that . i know that . ridge : well , that 's the way it felt when i walked out on brooke . stephanie : i 'm not going to deny that being abandoned by a parent is a terrible thing . but there are lots of people in this world who have had their mothers and their fathers walk out on them . and they do n't , or have n't , done the things that she 's done all these years . ridge : i think , she 's just feeling like she needs the security and the stability that she lost when she was a kid . stephanie : well , that may explain part of her behavior , but it certainly does n't excuse it and it does n't make it right , honey . ridge : i 'm just saying that i understand why she wo n't forgive me . and i understand that i need to work extra hard to make her understand that i will never , ever walk out on her and the kids again . that 's where you come in . stephanie : me ? ridge : yeah . mother , i want you to tear up the piece of paper that says that you 're the head of this company . let me and brooke run forrester creations again together . stephanie : you ca n't be serious . ridge : i 'm very serious . you said you 'd do anything for me . stephanie : to protect you . absolutely . but -- [ stephanie sighs ] but this is just about brooke , as usual . ridge : no , mother , it is n't . it 's about a vision i have about where our life 's going to be . it 's about creating a home and a family and meaning it when i say i will never , ever walk away from them again . mother , i need brooke . i need my son . they are the world to me . they 're everything to me , mother . without them , it 's kind of -- it would be like asking you to envision your life without me or thorne or -- stephanie : felicia ? ridge : yeah . i know you blame yourself for not being able to save felicia . but it was out of your hands . this is n't , mother . i 'm asking you now to help me get my son back . help me get my life . help me get my family back . please help me do this .

brooke : ridge , why are you acting this way ? it 's just a lunch date . what 's the big deal ? ridge : the big deal is that storm is dangerous . brooke : when did you start feeling like this ? ridge : since he shot my mother and his demented scheme to frame your father . brooke : he 's getting help . he is committed to his therapy . ridge : no amount of therapy is gon na change what he did . brooke : ridge , he knows what he did is wrong . he knows it was a terrible thing . ridge : oh , so i 'm just supposed to absolve him ? brooke : well , maybe if your mother 's willing to . ridge : mother does n't want him working at forrester . she sure as hell does n't want him dating someone here . it still shakes her up thinking about the shooting . brooke : i 'm sorry . i know it was a terrible thing what your mother went through . ridge : brooke , no one wants a repeat . so tell you brother , no dating anyone at forrester . brooke : my god , ridge , you 're talking like he 's some kind of murderer . ridge : well , if his plot had n't failed , he would be , brooke . i know you love him , but i 'm telling you right now . there 's a storm brewing , and i do n't want anybody i know to get caught up in it .

[ scene_break ] pam : now , donna , was your idea of inspiring eric to put him down for a nice long nap in a cozy bed ? because it sounds like that 's exactly what happened . donna : if i find out that you had anything to do with this , i guarantee you , forrester creations is going to say adios to our in - house , crazy , old crone , pam douglas . pam : looks like someone could use some sugar to counteract her sour side . how could i possibly have had anything to do with your failed playdate , donna ? donna : listen , pammy , you can take your little lemon bars and your prozac- pumped smile and the whole suzy homemaker freak show and get the hell out of dodge , because if you do n't , a house might just fall on the wicked witch of the midwest . pam : no , donna , you 're the one who 's gon na be leaving town with her little tail between her legs , not me , out of stephanie and eric 's life forever . if not , i will get you , my pretty , me and my little dog , too . pam : ciao . katie : okay . she 's a little loony .

[ scene_break ] eric : look , i - i 'm not sure where you 're going with all this , stephanie . stephanie : ( laughs ) well , to tell you the truth , i 'm not sure where i 'm going , either . when i was in the hospital , after i 'd been shot , you know , surrounded with you and the children , my whole life flashed in front of me , as corny as that sounds -- all the good times , the bad times , everything . and the one constant was always you , and that 's what gave me the strength at that moment . the look on your face -- you still had , um , you know , love and , uh , concern for me after all the years that we 've been together . and ... i just ca n't believe that those -- those feelings have just disappeared . i - i just believe that there is still a chance for you and me . i ca n't let that go . i just ca n't let that go , eric . [ scene_break ] storm : whoa . whoa , whoa , whoa . ridge does n't know that i was out with ashley ? brooke : no . and he 'd be really , really , really upset with me if he knew that i suggested that you take her out . so please , do n't say anything . storm : mnh - mnh . mnh - mnh . ( laughs ) this is n't just about ashley . you see , ridge thinks i 'm dangerous , so he 's gon na try to protect every woman from me . yeah , how noble of him . brooke : storm ... storm : no , no . hey , you know what ? if he thinks i 'm dangerous , maybe i should prove him right . what do you think , huh ? brooke : do n't say that . storm : well , i am sorry , but the guy really pisses me off . i mean , let me ask you something , brooke . how did ridge get to where he is today ? oh , right , he inherited it from his daddy . he rode in on his coattails , literally . i mean , the guy 's been given everything in his whole entire life , and now he wants to keep every woman for himself . i mean , the guy is an idiot , and i 've had just about enough . brooke : storm , wait . stormy ! ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] ridge : i know you do n't want to talk about anything to do with brooke . it 's , uh , it 's just a family matter . ashley : what 's going on with your family ? ridge : oh , it 's the logans , actually . and i do n't really want to get into it . it 's just something brooke and i are never gon na see eye to eye on . ashley : well , i 'm sorry . the last thing you need is more tension , right ? ridge : it 's the legal questions you wanted to talk about . can we do that later ? i just have got to clear my head , okay ? ashley : sure . you know where to find me . good luck . storm : oh , hey , ridge , i 've got some , uh , paperwork for you . you want this now ? ridge : i 'll tell you what i want , storm . i want you out of here . you 're fired . storm : what ? ridge : you may have fooled your sisters , but not me . you 're a sick , petulant coward . you shot my mother , and i have no doubt whatsoever you 're capable of a lot worse . i do n't ever want to lay eyes on you again , storm , not ever . | brooke whitewashes her brother 's crimes by saying he knows he did wrong and he is getting help . ridge still maintains that his mother does not like him working there and certainly does n't want him dating someone there at forrester . he admires her loyalty , but storm will have to go . he wants no one he loves anywhere near him . pam can not believe stephanie is going to give up so easy . pam hands her the key to the love nest and advises her to catch eric when he wakes up and talk some sense into him . eric wakes up and is clueless why donna is not there and stephanie is . she says she just wanted to talk to him and find out if this is what he really wants . storm thanks brooke and reveals that he had a great time with ashley , and it never would have happened if not for brooke . he 's surprised when brooke suddenly tells him it might not be a good idea to continue to see ashley . when he finds out it is because of ridge , he thinks what an egomaniac , wanting to hold on to two women . donna laments to katie that perhaps she is just not right for eric . listening at the door , pam is holding back the chuckles at hearing that eric is asleep . later she delights in telling donna that she will never be the next mrs. forrester . |

( exhales deeply ) this was supposed to be our golden years . this was our dream . somewhere , he lost the dream , and i lost him . i 'm a very controlling person . i do n't -- negotiate . i demand . and that can get kind of tiresome , you know , after a while . i think that 's what happened with eric . and that -- that wonderful , mad , passionate love that you share with another human being sort of starts to drift away , and it ends up as -- ( sighs ) i do n't know , perfunctory . you have a martini at night , a little conversation . you go to social events . you do n't spend a lot of time there with each other . you have a peck on the cheek in the morning , and -- the intimacy and the sex kind of -- i know that i certainly can not compete with a beautiful young girl like donna , but -- i 'll tell you , nick . i always thought -- i always believed that commitment and family were more important to eric than just a roll in the hay . and so for a long time , i turned a blind eye to all the women that he was involved with until brooke . that 's a force of nature in -- unto itself , as you well know . ( sighs ) but she was different . he married her , started a family -- second family . and , boy , are we reaping the harvest on that one . you know , he 'd leave and come back . he 'd leave and come back . but i think he 's gone now . i think he 's gon na stay with donna . i do n't know . i guess what goes around comes around . turned out to be a cruel joke on me . nick : do n't sound like a victim , stephanie . you 're stronger than that . stephanie : oh , you mean i 'm not allowed to wallow in my cups ? nick : no . what you 're saying is not true . stephanie : yes , it is . i devoted my life to eric . i took all of my energy . i focused everything on him , on our children , on that company , and i thought that when we came to the end of the road , it would be peace and contentment and happiness , and that is not what happened . we got to the end of the road , and it turns out to be just a -- dead end . a dead end .

[ scene_break ] aly : i think he 's in shock . hope : i think he knows how rare it is to be fired and rehired in the same breath . aly : maybe we should get him some water . oliver : [ chuckling ] oh , no . i 'm okay . it 's just i - i was n't expecting this . hope : yeah , and neither was ridge . aly : well , i , for one , think he owes you a big , fat apology and a raise . oliver : no . i 'm not looking to capitalize on this . it 's enough that , you know , i had so many people stand up for me . i ca n't thank you enough , hope . you too , aly . of course , if ridge were to take over again at some point , my you - know- what would be on the line again . hope : i think all of our you - know - whats would be on the line . seriously , do n't worry about ridge . too many of us have your back . [ scene_break ] rick : we will stay the course , continue to make profits from hope for the future . ridge : which can only weaken the company in the long run . eric : no one 's gon na let that happen , ridge . brooke : least of all rick . his dedication to forrester is second to none . ridge : i 'm not questioning his dedication to the company . i 'm questioning his unwillingness to do what is right in front of him . brooke : that is not only an insult to rick . that 's an insult to your father and me , as well . rick : well , what does it matter , given the way he 's treated you ? ridge : oh , rick . you 're a lot of things , but you 're not a designer , and you do n't have the experience that i do . and , yes , you 've surrounded yourself with a really good team , but they can only cover up your inadequacies for so long . and then even daddy ca n't defend you . brooke : what are you talking about ? daddy does n't have to defend him . we do n't . none of us do . he 's a great person . he 's a good leader . maybe he 's not a designer , but he 's honest and loyal , and he runs this company well , and he does n't run away when things get tough . i think that tells you what kind of a man he is . i think that 's a little more important than being able to sketch a gown . ridge : i still do n't think you should be president . but if mommy and daddy think that that 's what 's gon na make you happy and secure , then , by all means , enjoy it while it lasts .

katie : i would call him stupid . i think he 's been stupid most of his life . he has zero self - control , especially when it comes to women . but you do n't believe that , do you ? brooke : they know that i 'm watching them . and if anything happens , if there 's any kind of betrayal again , i go straight to eric , and i will tell him . me , katie . not you ! katie : brooke , they work together . they have constant contact with each other . if they could n't keep their hands off of each other at a wedding reception the day before you were supposed to get married , what makes you think they 're gon na keep their hands to themselves behind closed doors ?

eric : no . maya : why not ? rick : wait a minute . you mentioned to me something happened when you were on the phone in australia . eric : some issue between the two of them . rick : what issue ? eric : look , brooke came to me at the hotel , and ... rick : she was upset ?

eric : that 's what i want to find out . katie : you ca n't possibly be thinking of forgiving ridge for this . brooke : oh , god , nobody is forgiving anybody . katie : are you sure about that ? brooke : yes , i 'm sure . will you just stop ? this is a lot for me right now . katie : okay . i know . i 'm sorry . you 're right . i 'm sorry . brooke : ridge said it was nothing . katie : nothing ? you really believe that ? brooke : what i saw was n't a simple kiss on the cheek . katie : this has been going on for a while . brooke : he tried to explain it . katie : i know , he tried to explain it to me , too . brooke : how could he do this ? how ? quinn ? his father 's wife ? katie : i never trusted her . brooke : but eric obviously does . katie : yes , and that scares me to death . [ cell phone chimes ] brooke : [ groans ] okay , um ... eric 's in the building , and he wants to meet with quinn , ridge , and me . katie : do you think he knows ? brooke : no . i just think he wants to find out exactly what 's happening . katie : you have to tell him . brooke : no , i 'm not gon na tell him . i have everything under control , so just leave it alone , katie . katie : eric 's my friend , too . he deserves to know the truth about his wife . how can i face him knowing what i know ? brooke : stop . you 're not gon na say one word . okay ? not one word . quinn : he wants to talk to us . ridge : along with brooke . quinn : why does he want me to be a part of it ? ridge : i do n't know , 'cause you 're his wife . quinn : yeah , but this does n't have anything to do with me and eric . it has to do with you and brooke and why you two did n't get married ! ridge : calm down . maybe he wants you here because he enjoys your company and wants to see your perspective . quinn : perspective ... ridge : logan . before dad gets here -- brooke : ridge . do n't . ridge : this is not worth throwing away what we have , our family ... this is nothing . quinn : it was just a silly infatuation . brooke : if your fiancé had a silly infatuation with another woman , i could only imagine what you would do , quinn . quinn : ridge loves you . not me . eric : you know what i want to talk about . i 'm head of this family . i 'm concerned . ridge : well , there 's nothing to be concerned about , dad . eric : is that right ? you 've ironed things out ? there 's gon na be a wedding ? brooke : no . eric : then why ? i want to know why . i want to know what happened to change your mind . brooke ? you want to tell me ? rick : does this make any sense ? because it certainly does n't make any sense to me . maya : what i wonder is who called off the wedding ? rick : it could n't have been my mom . r.j. was counting on this wedding . maya : why would ridge call it off ? rick : it 's not the first time he 's broke my mom 's heart . maya : maybe it was mutual ? rick : no . no , no . because they went all the way to australia to elope . maya : mm , something happened down there . rick : and then my mom comes home alone ? i mean , it does n't add up . maya : well , you know , your father 's right . we ca n't jump to conclusions . rick : no , no , they need to get their act together . how many years has it been ? and then there 's my dad . he meets the woman of his dreams , he gets married ... ridge and my mom need to take a page out of their playbook . maya : mm , quinn and eric are a special case . rick : yeah . and everybody hated her . maya : especially ridge . rick : and now they 're like besties . i mean , the whole family loves her . maya : except maybe katie . rick : the point is , nobody thought my dad and quinn would make it to the altar , but they did . maya : in record time . rick : how long has my mom and ridge been doing this dance ? you know what ? quinn and my dad need to give them a lesson about trust and honesty . maya : without all the drama . eric : what happened in australia ? ridge : dad , it 's personal . eric : brooke came to my hotel room , she was upset . she sought me out . and i want to know why . you know , on the trip over there , the two of you were like newlyweds already . at steffy 's wedding and at the reception , you were laughing and dancing . were you aware of anything ? quinn : [ stammers ] well , i mean , no . i was n't -- i mean ... eric : you sat with ridge for a while on the plane . did he express there was any kind of a problem at all ? quinn : sweetie , i was n't really looking for a problem . eric : well , did he say anything to you about maybe having second thoughts about getting married or anything like that ? ridge : dad , i 'm sorry . i 'm right here . i can hear you . and this is not for the family to discuss . this is something just between the two of us . eric : well , that 's not entirely true , is it ? i have a grandson for whom this marriage means a great deal . i mean , it means more to him than to anybody else , i think . ridge : r.j.

sally : obviously there 's still some details we need to work out . ridge : we will . you wo n't be unhappy . wyatt : uh , i 'd like to see the final agreement , if you do n't mind . quinn : why ? what are you , her agent ? wyatt : boyfriend . same idea , i just do n't get paid . ridge : what did bill say when you told him ? wyatt : look , i appreciate the effort he made in trying to get us working at spencer together , but , um , i do n't think he wanted to be in the fashion industry in the first place . eric : so you 're back on board at forrester ? sally : i think this collaboration with the music video will be a great launch for my athletic - wear line . but most importantly , your support and belief in me ... i promise , i will not let you down . liam : so , uh , hope is still at the office . brooke : she stopped by the house on the way out to make sure that douglas liked the cereal that she picked up . liam : [ chuckles ] brooke : those two certainly have bonded . liam : yeah . i think they 're good for each other . i mean , hope so knows the loss that he 's feeling with caroline . brooke : well , you 're suffering a loss of your own , so how do you find comfort ? liam : i 'm okay . yeah . brooke : you do have your other family . liam : it 's not really another family . i - i mean , i think it 's all one family . brooke : i 'm glad to hear you say that . because i have to tell you , there is one person who does n't think that way . hope : i keep hoping one of these designers jumps out at me to fill thorne 's position ever since he went back to paris , but ... zoe : yeah , he was the one who hired me . i was n't sure i was still on the team . hope : well , right now , you and i pretty much are the team . zoe : so , we 're looking for someone who can take over when you 're not around ? hope : no , it 's not like i 'm going anywhere . zoe : well , things come up . for instance , another pregnancy . you know , i 'm sure that you and liam will be trying again . well , when -- when you 're ready . ridge : it 's official , then . eric : forrester will add sally spectra athletic wear to its portfolio . wyatt : yeah , and that 's not the only idea she has in her bag of tricks . eric : i see how you can adapt . one concept does n't work , you got 10 more . welcome back . what about you , wyatt ? wyatt : i mean , i think i 'll stick around spencer for a little while , try to keep my dad honest . quinn : oh , i hope that 's not your job description . sally : i 'm gon na miss working with you . wyatt : aw . quinn : well , there is such a thing as too much togetherness . wyatt : well , you and eric do n't seem to think so . quinn : well , that 's different , dear . zoe : i 'm sorry . did i , uh , overstep ? hope : no . i mean , it 's natural that you might think that . zoe : i just remember how happy you were when you were expecting . how excited both of you were about being parents . hope : well [ sighs ] that did n't happen . zoe : yet . no , if there 's anyone who 's meant to be a mother ... brooke : taylor still confides in ridge . liam : ah . [ chuckles ] yeah , well , taylor confides in everyone . she 's not exactly repressed . brooke : well , she believes that you should be off raising those girls with steffy . liam : i know . that 's not news to me . brooke : and she believes that hope and thomas should be together raising his son . quinn : you do n't have to run off ? wyatt : i am training dad to expect me to make my own schedule . why ? quinn : i want to fill you in on my little sit - down with flo fulton the other day . wyatt : okay . here we go . what 'd you do ? did you invite her to live with you at the forrester mansion or something ? my job is to rag on you , remember ? quinn : oh , silly . she is as sweet as ever . wyatt : [ scoffs ] quinn : i mean , i know las vegas is n't known for its wholesomeness , but , you know , then there 's flo . i always loved you two as a couple . wyatt : yeah , you were n't really subtle about that , either . quinn : [ sighs ] and i 'm so sad that i lost touch with shauna -- you remember her mom ? wyatt : i do . but that 's what happens when you vanish in the middle of the night . quinn : hey . shh . moving on . she was remarking about how different your life has become since you reconnected with bill . wyatt : yeah . quinn : and that got me to thinking about her trying to find out who her father is , you know ? wyatt : right , but first she has to want to , mom . quinn : i know , but , you know , i think she 's just scared . wyatt : of ? quinn : of the unknown . like most people . so ? maybe ... you ... could help her . flo : do you want slices or wedges ? danny : more wedges than slices . flo : all right . you got it . danny : excuse me , we do n't open -- zoe , hey . zoe : so , uh , what time does your shirt close ? danny : ha , ha . zoe : [ chuckles ] hey , um , could i get a coffee to go ? flo : mm - hmm . sure . zoe : i , uh , spent the morning with hope . flo : i imagine that happens a lot since you guys work together and everything . zoe : okay , she needs to be a mother , flo . flo : one phone call from either of us , and she will be . zoe : sarcasm ? is that really necessary ? flo : it 's not sarcasm , zoe . it 's a fact . zoe : she could n't even talk about the prospect of future children . that 's how shattered she was . i just -- i pray to god that liam can change her mind . flo : zoe , if you want to go to hope together and tell her everything , i am ready . zoe : how is that even still a possibility anymore ? he daughter is with steffy in europe . every day , their bond becomes -- flo : and we can change that . zoe : no , we can't . flo : [ scoffs ] okay . why are you here , zoe ? zoe : i think it 's time you take my father 's advice and go back to las vegas . brooke : you do n't seem very upset . liam : eh . [ scoffs ] i mean , hope and i are kind of used to other people telling us how to live our lives . brooke : you do n't think i 'm doing that , do you ? liam : no , no , no . but even if you were , i know how parents can get crazy , right ? i mean , i - i -- hell , i wish the city of malibu would drain the pacific ocean to six inches deep so that kelly does n't wander in over her head . brooke : [ chuckles ] you know what i hate ? i hate how taylor gets an idea , and she expects everybody to fall in step . liam : yeah . but she is in europe with steffy . i mean , we 're not even in step with her time zone right now . brooke : well , i have to ask , did she have any conversations with hope before she left ? liam : i mean , they 've been cordial lately , which is progress , i guess . but like deep , personal conversations ? no . brooke : i 'm sorry . i should n't even be bothering you with this right now . i mean , i know that you 're grieving , as well . it 's just ... [ sighs ] liam , i want you to be aware . you know how it weighs on hope that there 's two girls over there living with steffy without a dad . she took off her ring and she -- she tried to give you back like you were stolen property . liam : yeah , she did do that . but i do n't think you have to worry . i love your daughter . i 'm her husband . i 'm not just gon na let her slip away . brooke : [ sighs ] okay . well , just ... keep telling her that , okay ? just keep reminding her just how much you love her . brooke : oh ! wow . somebody 's home early . hope : did something happen ? [ knock on door ] [ knock on door ] sally : quinn ? quinn : wyatt 's not here . sally : [ clears throat ] um , i actually was n't looking for him . look , are you and i okay to work together ? quinn : i do n't really know how much we 're gon na be working together . you know , workout clothes and jewelry . could be dangerous . sally : that 's how women dress up their yoga pants for work . never mind that . spectra at forrester is gon na be more than just yoga pants , and i sense that you have some reservations about me . given my spotty track record , i do n't blame you . quinn : my husband supports you . i support my husband . sally : look , quinn , we are more than just co - workers , okay ? you 're wyatt 's mother . and i get it -- you want what 's best for him . and it 's safe to say that the picture in most people 's heads of `` the best `` is not me . but i love him , and he loves me . and i am gon na do everything i can to make him happy , okay ? flo : zoe , if and when i do leave l.a. , it 's gon na be on my terms . it 's not gon na be on your marching orders . zoe : [ scoffs ] if your reason for staying is wyatt , then you 're setting yourself up for some heartache . he and sally -- they 're in it for the long haul . flo : thank you so much for your concern . zoe : you know , at what point did you decide that you ca n't believe a word i say ? flo : zoe , i - i do n't think you 're lying , i just do n't think you 're trying very hard to be a good person . zoe : and yet i 'm not the one who passed off that little girl as mine . wyatt : hey . well , it 's 5 : 00 somewhere . give me a double . danny : we could lose our license . wyatt : oh , come on . what , do i look like the inspector , danny ? danny : you do n't want to know what i think you look like . wyatt : hey , go -- danny : [ laughs ] wyatt : just get -- anyway . flo : how about a coffee ? zoe was just leaving . hers is to go . zoe : good to see you , wyatt . wyatt : oh , you , too . uh , that was weird . flo : oh , you know , not everyone is as charming and sweet as you are at all times . wyatt : [ chuckles ] right . uh , how do you know zoe ? and , uh , what was that all about ? ridge : hey . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : the cereal that hope got for douglas is good . it does n't taste like dirt . where 'd you wander off to ? brooke : down to the cabin . ridge : i thought hope was at work . brooke : to visit with liam . ridge : tell me you did n't talk to him about that crazy idea that taylor had . brooke : um ... liam : so , you 're home early . hope : mm - hmm . what did mom want ? liam : just to talk . hope : let me guess . uh , mom thinks that you 're not doing something for me that you should be doing . liam : [ sighs ] she loves you very much , you know . hope : yes , she does . liam : and she worries , and she ca n't help it . hope : a lot of people worry about me . and i know they mean well , but -- liam : i know , but they just want you to feel better . hope : i do n't want to feel like i 'm letting everyone down because i 'm not bouncing back on some unwritten schedule . liam , i ca n't pretend that i am the same as i was before beth . quinn : wow . this is very unexpected . sally : what is ? quinn : these feelings of inadequacy that you are expressing . [ sighs ] sally : is that how it sounded ? 'cause i must have used the wrong words . quinn : okay , look , my advice to you is to not let your past failures dictate how you approach this new situation . and as for wyatt -- who i do n't really think is relevant to this conversation , but whatever -- um ... in the past , he 's had many wonderful women come in and out of his life , and some not - so- wonderful ones . i 'm glad you appreciate the ... free spirit that he is . sally : he does n't want to be a free spirit . he wants to be my boyfriend . quinn : of course he does . danny : lunch crowd in t - minus 20 . flo : i 'm ready . danny : was zoe waiting for me ? wyatt : that 's the connection . danny and zoe work together at forrester . flo : they do . wyatt : was she being difficult or something ? flo : no , just a little demanding . nothing i ca n't handle , though . she seems to think she knows what 's best , like most people do . wyatt : mm . flo : how 's hope , by the way ? wyatt : uh , i do n't know . i - i do n't really see her that much . uh , i do n't think anyone has , really . um , but i did see your number - one fan this morning . flo : i have a fan ? wyatt : mm - hmm . my mother . flo : [ laughs ] wyatt : i hear she grilled you the other day over coffee . flo : no , no , no . she -- she was sweet . wyatt : [ chuckles ] i have heard my mother called a lot of things , and that has never been one of them . flo : you know , when most people give you advice , it 's usually for their benefit , not yours . but your mom , she has this way of just putting herself in someone else 's shoes and really just thinking about what 's best for me . wyatt : which i hear included a heavy suggestion on finding your father ? flo : it did . yeah . wyatt : [ inhales ] okay , listen . it might not have been my mother 's place to suggest that -- not that that 's ever stopped her from that before -- but i just -- i do n't want you to be under the impression that the only benefit of me finding my father was that he was this billionaire , you know ? i mean , yes , his net worth and his rank on my pain - in - the - butt scale are pretty high up there ... flo : [ chuckles ] wyatt : um ... i do n't know . just ... knowing his name and hearing him call me son ... i mean , it felt less like finding hidden treasure , and more like finding something that connected me to the world , you know ? flo : yeah . it just , uh ... it sounds very , um ... wyatt : overwhelming ? flo : yeah . yeah . wyatt : no , i know . but i just -- i want you to know that if you -- if you want to try and find your father , i 'd be happy to help . ridge : why would you talk to liam about something that 's never gon na happen ? brooke : ridge , it 's the idea of it ! hope is so full of guilt and self - doubt . she needs reassurance right now . ridge : and you think this is gon na reassure her ? brooke : [ sighs ] hope : you know what sent me running out of the office today ? zoe making some innocent remark about a possible future maternity leave . you know , she remembered how happy and excited i was when i was pregnant , planning our future . so naturally she assumed that i would want to try again . liam : if i 'm being honest , i mean , i 'm kind of hoping for that , too . hope : i know you are . liam : because we had a vision of the family we would build . and i - i 'm not quite ready to give up on that . hope : yeah , well , how much forgetting would i need to do to get back to that ? liam : none . beth is your firstborn . that 's a fact . and her brothers and sisters will know all about her . hope : i already sacrificed two children to this need to be a mother . how selfish can i be ? liam : how selfish ? wow . so , how selfish do you think you are with kelly ? how selfish are you with phoebe or douglas ? hope : i do n't know . maybe ... maybe that 's my purpose . to be maternal with other people 's children and -- and not have any of my own . liam : yeah , i do n't believe that . hope : well , not every dream can come true , liam . liam : right . but this one can . both your doctors say so . they say you 're fine . hope : yeah , well , they also said that beth would be fine , so ... liam : okay . i love you too much to stand here and watch you do this to yourself . yes , there is more than one way to start a family , and if it comes time to make that decision , we will . but you ca n't -- you ca n't be afraid of your own body . you -- you ca n't believe that there is no happiness waiting for us , that -- that life is like this -- this series of painful disappointments . i mean , if that 's the case , wh - what are we even doing on this planet ? hope : and when i tell you that i do n't think i can go through that again ... ? liam : i 'm your husband . and i 'm -- i 'm kind of gon na stay your husband . like , forever . and when you hurt , i hurt . but i also have faith . and all i 'm asking is that you share that faith with me a little bit . there is a child that you will love as much as you love beth . and you are the only mother that child is gon na need . he or she is out there waiting for you . i promise you that . | sally and wyatt stop by forrester and eric welcomes her back if she is sure this is what she wants for her athletic line . eric and quinn wonder what bill thinks of this . wyatt speaks up and says he really did not want a fashion house anyway so he will be okay . sally and eric shake hands to make it official . liam drops by brooke 's and she mentions hope being at work for a little while but she did drop in to make sure douglas had his favorite cereal for breakfast . he says he is glad she is there for douglas ; they are good for each other . brooke responds and says so does taylor but it does n't stop there . she really thinks thomas should be part of the picture with hope . liam is not shocked or even upset . he says everyone is trying to tell them how to run their lives . at work hope tells zoe that it is a good thing they hired her as it seems now with thorne gone that she is the team . zoe tells her she wondered about that if there was even still a team . and what if hope got busy with being pregnant again . hope says that is not likely to happen . zoe goes to bikini and of course to see flo . she tells flo quite emphatically that she thinks her dad is right and that she should go back to vegas . they spar with words when zoe says she just saw hope and she is back at work . and steffy has phoebe / beth in europe along with taylor so all is working out fine . |

[ stephanie sighs ] and i 'm so worried about that . i mean , bridget 's gone through so much loss . christian : all the more reason you need to be honest with her . stephanie : can you guarantee me that my daughter is going to live ? because that 's what i have to hear first . christian : i ca n't , but i can tell you what i believe . your daughter is going to return home to her family and her son . stephanie : well , i want to believe that , too . christian : come back to the clinic with me . once you see your daughter again , there will be no question on what you should do .

taylor : i just need you to be honest with me . did you feel anything when you were there with brooke ? nick : honestly -- yes , i did . taylor : can you tell me what you felt ? nick : fear . taylor : on what level ? nick : on every level connected to the past repeating itself . because i 'm not about the past , i 'm about the now . and you are the now . i feel good , and i feel alive , and i feel that way because of you . you make me a better man . and i 'd like to keep it that way . does that answer your question ? taylor : yes .

[ scene_break ] brooke : taylor could n't wait to tell you , could she ? stephanie : she was as surprised as i was . i mean , who would have dreamed that you 'd strip down and show nick the catch of the day , hours before you were supposed to marry ridge ? brooke : it was n't like that . stephanie : you know , eskimos have 15 words for `` snow `` . i bet you have twice as many for dropping you pants . brooke : i 'm sure you went straight to ridge and you told him . stephanie : well , he was with me when i talked to her on the phone . but , i did n't tell him . are you surprised ? he was heartbroken already . brooke : where is he ? stephanie : you 've overplayed your hand this time . with both of those men . you 're out of luck . [ scene_break ] nick : i love you . and i want you to know that i had nothing to do with brooke coming here . taylor : i know that . and i trust you . still it 's just a little disconcerting that she would show up over here and she would do what she did . and tell you that she 's done with ridge . when we all know that she 's just taking a breather off the merry - go - round . but -- but what if ridge does n't want to take her back this time ?

[ scene_break ] ridge : was i wrong to think i had to protect my own daughter ? felicia : i do n't see how assigning blame will do much good . ridge : it is brooke 's son . he could have done just about anything -- bad mouthed me from here to hong kong , he could have robbed a liquor store . anything , i could have taken it all in stride . but the one thing -- the one thing i wo n't allow . the one thing that brooke could n't live with , that turns out to be exactly what i do . felicia : so , now , it happened . now what ? bruises and black eyes go away , but what you and brooke have does n't . as much as some of us wished it would have , for your own sakes . track her down . ridge : oh , i know exactly where she is . felicia : then what are you waiting for ? ridge : this is n't waiting , sis . this is n't -- there is no next thing to do now . i need some air . i 'll be back in a while .

[ scene_break ] rick : phoebe , we did everything in our power to honor their feelings , okay ? my mother 's and your father 's . what 's broke between them , we can not fix . phoebe : but , we broke it . rick : no , no , no . we were witnesses . all right ? it 's been broken a half a dozen times . when something is that fragile , accidents happen . phoebe : i hate hearing you talk that way , rick . love just does n't matter then ? rick : no , of course , love matters . but , look around you , phoebe . i mean , love is something -- love is something you get for free . everything else you pay for . phoebe : with what ? what if we do n't have what it takes ? rick : i hope we do . so , let 's find out . starting now . [ scene_break ] stephanie : i think you should just take out of your office what you need for the immediate . and then i 'll have them pack everything else up and take it over to your house . brooke : which i recently mortgaged to give us seed money for rodeo drive . i have as much right to be here as you do . stephanie : let 's not get into the rights issue . let 's look at it this way . you want ridge here , working with you , seeing you day in and day out , after what you 've pulled ? i do n't think even you want that . brooke : i do n't know what i 'll do about that . but , i certainly know , i am not going to be taking marching orders from you . felicia : you 're here ? i do n't think ridge knew that . brooke : where is he ? stephanie : do n't even go there . felicia : he said he needed to clear his head . if i know my brother , he took the elevator to the roof . stephanie : thank you , miss loose lips . [ scene_break ] nick : sometimes i think they like this little roller coaster / merry - go - round they 're on . he chases her down , she gives in -- it 's his ego , it 's too big to let go . taylor : well , that was before . stephanie called while you and brooke were downstairs here . nick : why did she call ? taylor : i guess she wanted to forewarn me that brooke was on her way over here to come after you . and , well , i was still in shock and i told her what i had just walked in on . nick : no , you did n't . taylor : yeah . nick : i wish you had n't done that . taylor : and , of course , we know that she 's going to go straight to ridge and tell him everything that i told her . probably make it worse than it already was , if that 's even possible . nick : all i know is that these people do not have the power to turn our lives upside down anymore . not if we do n't let them . we just have to make sure we do n't get drawn in . and we have to remember , no matter what happens with them , it 's got nothing to do with us . okay ? taylor : that 's what i wanted to hear . [ scene_break ] ridge : how did this happen to us ? brooke : i do n't know . ridge : i sure did n't see it coming . i thought we finally had it all . how many times did we say we would never let anything -- brooke : do n't . please , do n't . so thing 's changed , ridge . we both know what . ridge : you do n't love me . all those times when i wanted you to , and when i did n't , it was still there . it 's kind of like that thing that helps a compass find its way north . it 's the way i found my bearings in life . and suddenly , it 's just gone . brooke : it 's not like that . it does n't disappear that easily . ridge : then , how could you just go to him ? [ scene_break ] phoebe : i -- i do n't know how to go on when such a terrible thing has happened . rick : do n't you see that that 's what set us free ? i mean , phoebe , the worst case scenario has happened . and now there 's nothing to be afraid of anymore . phoebe : how can you say that so easily ? brooke made my father so happy . rick : no , no , no . i 'm not talking about them . i 'm talking about us . their decisions were their decisions and we 've had to live by them . but no more . no more hiding and pretending . phoebe : you mean that ? rick : i do . there 's nothing to be afraid of anymore . your father knows how we feel . phoebe : yeah . rick : and now i want the whole world to know . i love you . i love everything about you . i love the way the make me feel . i love who we are together . and i do n't care who knows that . phoebe : i love you too . it 's scary , i just -- i get so used to the idea of it being impossible between us . rick : no , nothing is impossible . not now . you just watch .

( chuckles ) caroline : ( chuckles ) brooke : thomas , did steffy call ? did she change her mind about coming ? thomas : i doubt it . caroline : i 'm sorry your sister could n't make it . thomas : she 's going through a tough time . stephanie : yes , it 's very difficult to come to a party , when you show up , uh , that your , uh , husband is with another woman . brooke : you 'll meet her eventually , probably become fast friends . stephanie : the baby 's asleep up in one of the guest rooms , so i guess that means amber 's gon na stick around for a couple of hours . brooke : ( sighs ) so it appears . stephanie : yeah . well , maybe , rick , you should take her somewhere , just the two of you . brooke : no . no , rick is here ... for caroline , just like all of us are . stephanie : ( chuckles ) speaking of which , may i have everybody 's attention ? ding , ding , ding , ding . i thought maybe it 'd be nice just to say a few welcoming words to caroline . gosh , it seems , um , after so many years , a little strange , but also wonderful , to say that name aloud in this house . your aunt was such a wonderful woman , and we have so many wonderful memories of her . you remind me of her . welcome to l.a . i hope you stay . ridge : hear , hear . stephanie : hear , hear . thomas : cheers . caroline : thank you . ( laughs ) you 're so kind ! stephanie : not at all . caroline : all of you . i - i just never thought that i would feel so at home . hope : i know it must have been really hard , leaving your mom and your friends in new york . but forrester creations is such a great place , especially if you love fashion . caroline : i do . ( laughs ) hope : you 're going to learn a lot from ridge and eric . thomas : my dad and granddad -- they 're masters . rick : well , it would n't be so bad working with young folks . caroline : ( chuckles ) rick : caroline , let me just say how excited i am -- we all are -- to have you on board . brooke : i had a great feeling about you when i saw your sketches . and then when i met you , i knew that you were somebody very special . we all have worked very hard and long at forrester creations for many , many years , and there comes a time when you just have to pass on the torch to the younger generation -- rick , hope , thomas , steffy . and they 're all going to need some very good designers -- and not just designers with raw talent , but designers who have style and sophistication and talent . working at forrester means fitting in with the family , becoming a part of the family , so to speak . and you , caroline , have done just that . caroline : thank you . brooke : is there anything else anybody would like to add ? amber : i do ! ( laughs ) on behalf of me and my daughter rosey forrester , i would like to welcome you to los angeles . ( chuckles ) rick : amber , this is not -- not -- not a good time . amber : what ? ( chuckles ) you know , brooke 's right . you 'd be an amazing fit here at forrester . and it 's a -- it 's a very special place to work at . it really is , you know , if you decide to stay . as i am , uh , working with rick , i 'm sure there 's plenty of room for all of us . of course , um , you got a lot to learn . i mean , come on , let 's face it -- you 're new . ( chuckles ) you 're inexperienced , but do n't be afraid or get intimidated , you know , just 'cause you see what great designs eric has or you know , i do n't know , what an amazing team ... ( chuckles ) rick and i make together . we 've all been at this a really long time , and we 've shared a -- a - a lot of our lives together . but you 'll get there , you know ? it just takes a little , you know , time and experience . and rick and i , we would be more than happy to let you learn from us . so cheers , hmm ? ( sighs ) mm . caroline : thank you , everyone . i feel so welcomed . and you 're right , hope . moving away from home and leaving my friends and family behind , it 's -- it 's intimidating . but having the opportunity to work at forrester , an industry legend ... ( chuckles ) i never imagined that this could happen . there 's so many reasons for me to choose to come here -- new friendships , new family . uncle bill , your wife is so charming . katie : ( chuckles ) caroline : and katie , i would love the opportunity to spend more time with you . and now i have a cousin . hope : ( chuckles ) caroline : liam , you 're just -- you 're so cool and sweet , and you make me laugh , and i just -- i wish that we could have grown up together , riding bikes and climbing trees . liam : and what ? we ca n't still ? stephanie : ( laughs ) caroline : ( laughs ) yes . why not ? ( laughs ) hope : ( laughs ) caroline : it 's never too late to get to know family ... even my aunt . you know , i do n't know why it took me so long to come out here and to see where caroline lived . it 's strange . you know , i - i never knew her , but i always felt this -- this special kinship with her . could be the sharing the name thing , but i always felt like it was more . and being here with all of you , i 'm sure it is . and i feel her presence here . it makes my work for the foundation even more real . brooke : what foundation ? caroline : the caroline spencer cancer foundation . bill : caroline 's on the board , our chief fund - raiser . ridge : i did n't know that . caroline : oh , it 's been my passion for the past few years -- raising money for cancer research in honor of the woman i was named for . it 's -- the foundation is very important to me . all of our events have been in new york . i guess that 's why you were n't aware . but i 'll have to change that . ( giggles ) stephanie : oh , that 'd be wonderful . i mean , if you 'd let us , i 'm sure we 'd all love to be involved . caroline : would you like to see a video i made ? stephanie : sure . eric : sure , let 's see it . ridge : yes , we would . hope : yeah . yeah . caroline : my skills are in design , not in video - making . ( laughter ) still , i 'm -- i 'm really proud of this . my mom had all these photos of caroline and these videos from years ago . i do n't know where they came from . thorne : uh , from me , i think . i remembered giving karen a whole box of stuff . ( soft music begins ) caroline : the caroline spencer cancer foundation was formed with one goal in mind -- finding a cure . caroline spencer forrester was a brave woman , full of grace and elegance . cancer took her from her loved ones much too early . but the foundation passionately carries on in the battle she lost . our commitment to this cause has already helped thousands of lives all over the world , and we will not stop . it is our mission to continue fighting this horrible disease in honor of caroline . in her memory , we work hard to fund research , educate the public , and strive for nothing less than eradicating cancer once and for all . [ scene_break ] brooke : can it be any more clear how well caroline would fit in and how perfectly suited the two of you would be ? rick : for work ? brooke : or maybe more i saw the way you were looking at her . rick : yeah , well , you know , she 's a knockout . anybody could see that . brooke : well , just think , you could work side by side with a beautiful , dignified woman , somebody at her age who started a cancer foundation , or you could work with amber moore . rick : i 'm not gon na kick amber to the curb . look , the -- the line is good . i understand your reservations , but i do n't want her pushed aside . ridge : good news is she 's not an actual employee , so you wo n't have to . rick : i want that changed . i want her officially attached to my line . i want her on payroll , health benefits , parking spot , the works . brooke : ( scoffs ) ridge : mm - hmm . that would be a no . rick : let 's not argue about it . ridge : look , if you want her to continue drawing with you , you do it far away from me . and you pay her out of your damn trust fund . i really do n't care . i 'm not bringing her back into this company . brooke : there 's really no reason to , not when caroline can do a much better job . just think about it . [ scene_break ] liam : you did a really good job , caroline . the web site 's cool . caroline : thank you . katie : you know , liam does a lot of work on the web for spencer publications . caroline : oh . liam : mm - hmm . hope : um , you know what ? excuse me for one second . i 'm gon na go get some water , okay ? liam : okay . hope : ( exhales ) ( exhales ) ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : i know the signs . thomas : the signs ? taylor : you 're smitten . you 've got that sparkle in your eyes . thomas : ( chuckles ) taylor : you 've got the biggest grin on your face ... thomas : come on . what ? taylor : from ear to ear . yes . you have n't been able to take your eyes off her for two seconds . thomas : who ? caroline ? ( sighs ) okay , i 'm not gon na deny it . i - i find her attractive . ridge : find who attractive ? thomas : ( clears throat ) caroline . who would n't ? ( chuckles ) uh , dad , i - i 've been thinking . i know brooke has it in her head that rick 's gon na work with caroline , and let 's be honest , he could use the help , but ... ( scoffs ) come on . how much are we really going to invest in his line ? it -- it 's -- it 's ridiculous that amber and him even have one in the first place . dad , he 's not even a designer . i am . okay . look , i messed up . look , i understand that . but i 've paid my dues . ridge : yes , thomas , you certainly have . i 've been thinking about this , too . i would love for you to have another chance . thomas : r - really ? ridge : yeah . thomas : ( chuckles ) ridge : maybe immediately . we 'll have to work on the timing of it all . thomas : okay . ridge : okay . thomas : dad , if ... if you 're gon na give me another shot , just please , make it with caroline . [ scene_break ] brooke : amber 's been watching us like a hawk . rick : oh , please . brooke : you do n't see it ? rick : what ? brooke : you did n't hear how she was pretending that you two were a couple ? she was pretending , was n't she ? rick : i like amber , but we 're not in a relationship , if that 's what you 're wondering . brooke : well , maybe you should tell her that . rick : well , maybe i want to keep my options open with amber . brooke : oh , rick , please , do n't scare me . caroline is an extraordinary young lady . she 's beautiful . she 's poised . she 's elegant . and maybe you wo n't end up with her , but maybe somebody like her . not amber . look at her over there with marcus , manipulating something , i 'm sure . she had to use her baby to get in here today . is that what you want ? a life full of lies and deceit ? rick : ( sighs ) brooke : i care about you . and i want what 's best for you . you deserve to have somebody by your side that you 're proud of first at work , and then , who knows ? but you had your life with amber . and that 's all in the past . it 's over , and for good reason . just get her out of your life . stop working with her , and do it today . rick : ( sighs ) | caroline meets all the forresters and thinks their home is lovely . it means so much to her to spend some time here so she can picture caroline sr . there . stephanie tells ridge it 's almost like having caroline back here . despite not being invited , amber stops by with rosey and introduces herself to caroline . she insinuates herself into the family by calling rosey a forrester and offering cheers to caroline to not let her relationship with rick intimidate caroline . she 's new and inexperienced , but she knows she will learn the ropes soon . brooke cringes as she watches amber take over . caroline says she feels caroline 's presence here and she feels welcome . she shows a short video of caroline for the cancer foundation bearing her name . ridge puts the final kibosh on amber being a part of the company . he tells rick that he can pay her out of his own trust fund if he wants to continue working with amber as his sketch artist . brooke puts in her two cents one more time . rick should consider caroline or someone like her to work with and kick amber to the curb , out of working with her and out of his life personally . thomas admits to ridge and taylor that he is smitten with caroline . he 's the designing son and it should be he that is working with caroline . he knows he screwed up in the past , but he feels those mistakes have been more than paid for and he 'd like a new start . ridge says he 'd like that too . they ca n't set a timetable right now but soon . |

[ scene_break ] caroline : do you think they see us ? dayzee : mm , i do n't think so . man : good afternoon . caroline : why is she so pretty ? dayzee : well , why not ? i mean , maya 's a pretty girl . caroline : but look at her . she 's such a tomboy . who wears that to lunch ? i would n't even wear that to pilates . dayzee : she 's a struggling actress . i 'm sure she 's just doing what she can . caroline : well , does n't take a ton of money to have style . it is so annoying . rick is such a catch . i do n't get what he sees in her . maya : i did n't think i 'd ever see you again , either . rick : you have every right to be upset with me . maya : i was at first -- hurt , a little embarrassed , maybe even a little intimidated . rick : if i had to do it all over again , i would have been honest with you from the very beginning , but , then again , we would n't have had all those great experiences that we did . maya : oh , you mean like when i looked out my window and saw you shivering on a cardboard box in the alley and thought you were homeless ? that was charming . rick : it was very sweet of you to let me come up and crash on your couch , although i could have been an ax murderer . i mean , what were you thinking ? ! maya : i know . i do n't know . i do n't know . [ both chuckle ] maya : i guess i just got a good vibe about you . rick : if i had told you that i was a forrester when we first met , what would you have done ? maya : i probably would have run in the other direction . rick : then i 'm glad i did n't . maya : me too . [ scene_break ] bill : do n't do this , katie . katie : the more you say , the harder it will be . bill : what about will , our son ? you gon na do this to him ? you 're gon na break up our family ? katie : were you thinking about will when you were driving drunk ? my god , how could you be so foolish ? ! we do n't know how much longer i 'm going to be here . you could have left him without both of his parents . brooke : katie , just put the ring back on . you need some time to cool off . katie : i 'm not gon na cool off . bill : nothing happened between us . how many times do you have to hear that ? katie : never again . never again . i 'm letting you go . brooke : do n't do this . katie : take it . take them . i ca n't wear them anymore . bill : put the ring back on . katie : take it ! i 'm done ! bill : do you want me to beg you ? i 've done enough begging , and if this is a poker game you 're playing , katie , i got a full house of rules , of regulations , of demands , of accusations . i will never be good enough for you . i will never be a good enough husband . katie : you 're right . you wo n't . he 's all yours . you can make him happier than i ever could . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] caroline : i can not believe that rick is hanging out with somebody who 's been in jail . dayzee : all right , enough . she was exonerated , caroline . the charges were dropped . caroline : well , she still spent a couple of years in a orange jumpsuit . not a great look . dayzee : i actually feel kind of terrible for maya . you know , she just has n't had it easy . i want to help her out , but i just do n't want her infiltrating my family . i 'm a forrester , and i love my life . you 're with rick . caroline : so she 's the odd girl out . there 's no room for her in our lives is what you 're saying . i could n't agree more . rick : so , amber took her cousin 's baby . she tried to pawn it off as ours , and then the whole thing blew up in her face . but it was all about holding on to the forrester name and the money and the power . maya : rick , that 's awful . i am so sorry . caroline : rick ?

[ chuckles ] cute top . look at you . you just seem to be showing up everywhere -- i mean , forrester estate , and now you 're having lunch with rick . you just really get around , do n't you ? maya : rick invited me to lunch , actually . caroline : aww , that 's so sweet , but , rick , you really do n't have time . i mean , we have to get back to work . you have hope for the future and couture , so you just -- just do n't have time for lunch with monica . maya : maya . caroline : right . [ chuckles ] okay , well , finish up , and i 'll see you back at the office . rick : all right . caroline : okay . rick : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry about that . [ clears throat ] maya : is she for real ? rick : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] brooke : you should go after her , bill . try to explain . she 's upset right now , but she will come to her senses . bill : how could she do this -- destroy our family , our son 's home ? brooke : you need to do a little begging . just swallow your pride . this is n't what she wants . she wants you to fight for her . bill : i do n't think so . i think she means it this time . she 's done with me , brooke . brooke : this is your marriage , bill . you ca n't give up . [ scene_break ] caroline : what 's rick gon na do , turn his back on me for that ?

[ scene_break ] ridge : if you know me -- amber : better than you know yourself . ridge : that 's probably true . amber : ooh . you 're gon na suck up to me now , hmm ? now that i 've got you flat- cold busted . ridge : busted ? why busted ? amber : oh , i saw you . i saw you with her . and when your wife finds out , ooh , she 's gon na kick you to the curb . ridge : my wife . my wife . you mean brooke ? amber : duh . who else ? ridge : i talked to her . amber : really ? tell her about the 5 ' 8 `` souvenir you picked up ? ridge : brooke told me we were through . now , if she does n't care what i do , why would you ? amber : good point . considering you ruined my life . but that does not mean i am just gon na stand by and watch you ruin your family 's life , too . remember them , ridge ? hmm ? god , i knew you were a jerk . but you are way worse than i thought . i mean , to take off to another country with another woman -- you just leave your wife and your kids behind -- ridge : wait a minute . wait , wait , wait . did you say kids ? amber : yes . ridge : i have children ? [ scene_break ] bridget : i do n't know who 's crazier -- me or you . nick : that 's kind of a loaded question , would n't you say ? god , you look beautiful in the rain . bridget : you must really be in love . except it 's not the rain . it 's just because of you . nick : listen , the past is over . we got the future now , so we both win , okay ? bridget : the future . i never thought i would be excited about my future . nick : why ? bridget : because -- because i worry , you know ? i worry about everything -- my family and medical school and getting the right residency at the right hospital . did i spend the rest of my life with the right man ? and you just made realize that all of that is just so silly . why should i live my life worrying about the hypothetical ? i 'd be missing out on what 's right in front of me . and you just taught me to enjoy living in the moment . now that i 'm with you , i just -- i want to enjoy every moment . and i want to feel every moment . and i want to fully experience every moment with you . and i want to start right now . [ scene_break ] jackie : ridge is having an affair ? massimo : i do not know . jackie : well , what makes you think that he might ? massimo : ridge was last spotted at cafe russe , where the bartender saw him leave with a woman . so -- jckie : that 's inexcusable . massimo : inexcusable ? jackie : yes . ridge made a commitment to brooke , to his family . for him to break that vow , to let down the people who love him , yes , that 's inexcusable . i mean , maybe he tried to rationalize it , to convince himself this was something he deserves because brooke let him down , but -- in the end , he 's just going to feel empty . passion , electricity , they all fade . but home -- oh , home -- that quiet , dependable place based on years of history , of family -- that 's what 's important . that is what keeps your heart full . i 'm sorry , massimo . i 'm so , so sorry .

[ scene_break ] massimo : if it turns out that ridge is with another woman , do you think that brooke should forgive him ? jackie : i do n't know . i ca n't answer that . that 's for brooke to decide . i only know that if ridge continues down this path , he 's going to be very , very sorry . massimo : yeah , well , ridge and brooke went to hell and back to be together . maybe they 'll be able to overcome this , too . at least for the sake of their family . [ scene_break ] thomas : you still believe in him , even after all this ? brooke : you sound surprised . thomas : kind of . yeah . brooke : i ca n't deny it was really hard at first . i mean , your father said some pretty harsh things in his e - mail and on the voice message . it was so harsh that i had a hard time believing that it was even him . but when you love someone the way that i love your father , you know that person down in their very core , and that is what you need to believe in , even though everything else does n't make sense . thomas : i believe in him , too . brooke : good . thomas : and when he does come back to us , i 'll be sure to remind him how lucky he is to have a wife like you .

[ massimo laughs ] massimo : you do n't waste any time , do you ? sally : no , i do not , sir . i believe in cutting right to the snapper . massimo : all right . as i mentioned to you , i have a very important business proposition to discuss with you . hmm ? sally : mm - hmm . massimo : when i acquired logan designs , my objective was to diversify the marone portfolio . however , as you know , and i found out , i know nothing about the fashion business . sally : i do n't know how many times i tried to tell you , mojo . it takes more than a needle and thread and a little attitude to run a successful fashion house . massimo : mm - hmm . which is the obvious reason why i have called on you . amber : hey ! hector . i guess someone 's been working out . i found an apartment . i did . oh . and it 's so great . i 'm so excited about it . i mean , yes , it has shag carpeting and it overlooks an alley . but , oh , it 's not burned to the ground , and i 'm so excited ! and you know what ? it 's not very far from here . it 's actually , like , right down the street . so , do you want to go look at it ? hello , hector ? yoo - hoo . anybody home ? hello ? hector : hmm ? amber : hector ! have n't you even heard a word i said ? hector : i 'm sorry . my mind 's somewhere else . amber : no kidding . you 're still thinking about samantha kelly , are n't you ?

[ samantha sighs ] i guess this samantha just is n't in the mood . priscilla : i thought you would be feeling better about pucci by now . samantha : oh , this is n't about pucci . priscilla : then what 's wrong ? i do n't understand , samantha . you 're in such a good place right now . working at logan designs . staying here with the forresters . you know , you and ridge were such good friends when you were kids . samantha : we still are . priscilla : and his marriage is over . if you were wise , you 'd make sure you 're right there helping him pick up the pieces . samantha : mother , that 's not going to happen . priscilla : but this is your opportunity . samantha : would you just forget about ridge ? priscilla : samantha , what has happened to you ? samantha : i saw him . priscilla : who ? samantha : hector ramirez . priscilla : my god , what did you do ? you are n't still thinking about him ? he almost ruined your life , i 'll have you remember . samantha : do n't worry , mother . hector could n't have possibly been less thrilled to see me that was such a shock . amber : well , what 's the deal with you two ? hector : i told you , it was a long time ago . amber : yeah , what was a long time ago ? hector : us -- samantha and me . amber : yeah , but what i ca n't figure out is , what she could 've done to hurt you so badly . i mean , i know teenagers can be cruel , but -- hector : this was n't kid stuff . amber : you loved her . hector : yes . amber : so what happened ? come on , hector . you were there for me . please , let me be there for you . hector : i thought she loved me , too . it got complicated . but we could 've worked it out together . if only she had let us . amber : this complication -- did it have anything to do with her parents ? hector : they hated me . i do n't know , maybe -- maybe they had a right to . i was older . maybe i should have known better . but i just -- i could n't imagine my life without her . but her parents fixed that , moved her to new york , and i never saw or heard from her since . amber : you could 've picked up the phone , too , you know ? hector : i did . i called her . i even flew to new york , and she refused to see me . i wrote her letters . she never wrote back . she did n't want me in her life . samantha : hector was so cold to me . i do n't understand it now , any more than i did back then . priscilla : you ca n't let him get to you like this . samantha : i loved him with all my heart . and i was so sure that he felt the same way about me . but after we moved from l.a. , i never heard from him again . he knew what i was going through , but he never wrote , he never called , nothing . priscilla : it 's in times of crisis that people reveal their true colors . samantha : he must have been angry . or maybe he did n't care . i just do n't know what i did to bring this on . priscilla : you did n't do anything wrong . samantha : i mean , he used to be so sweet , so selfless . priscilla : that man never cared about you , which is why you should n't care about him . sally : you do remember , massimo , that you happen to be talking to the woman who wrote the book on `` the little fashion house that could `` ? massimo : i have absolutely no doubt that i am talking to the right lady . sally : of course you are . and i am going to come to very easy terms with you . all i need from you is that sign up on the roof . you know , the one that says , `` spectra fashions . `` you give me that , and i 'm good to go . and i want to thank you very much for the opportunity . massimo : wait , wait a second , wait a second . we may not be on the same page here , sally . sally : well , of course we are . listen , i 'm an easygoing gal . i 'll accept almost any terms from you , if it means getting my company back . massimo : well , what if the offer on the table is taking over the ceoreins during brooke 's maternity leave ? heare 's something delicious going around ... sally : how dare you ! massimo : let me explain what i have in mind here . sally : what are you going to do , hmm ? are you going to explain to me how you 're asking me to step into brooke logan 's shoes ? brooke logan of all people ? massimo : this has absolutely nothing to do with brooke . okay ? she had no say in this decision . this has all to do with my respect for you . sally : your respect for me ? you stole my company ! massimo : no , actually , i did not . i bought it from a very willing seller . sally : i was a willing seller only because you made me a solemn promise , massimo , that i was going to stay on as chief executive officer , now you 're telling me that i 'm going to have to stand by and accept brooke 's sloppy seconds ! massimo : look , it is not as if you walked away empty - handed , sally . you are a very rich woman . i paid you a pretty penny for that company . sally : and i am willing to pay you an even prettier penny to buy it back . massimo : i 'm not going to put logan designs on the auction block , not while it 's turning a profit . sally : oh , really ? well , i 'm hearing rumors all over the rag trade that logan designs has been hemorrhaging blood . it has been ever since they lost ridge forrester as head designer , huh ? massimo : nothing that you can not turn around if you take my offer . sally : i will never accept an offer like that . massimo : sally -- sally : you know what , massimo ? you are nothing but whale tail . you 're going all the way down . and i definitely am not going with you . so long , captain . samantha : you never understood our relationship , mother . hector did care about me . at least , at first he did . priscilla : until he got what he wanted . hector took advantage of you , samantha . thank god you never saw him again . samantha : i just did . priscilla : for the last time , right ? samantha : i guess so . but he must know where i am . i mean , he 's friends with amber forrester . priscilla : he is ? samantha : they were together . so i assume he could find out where i am if he wanted to . maybe i should n't have left so quickly . priscilla : you did the right thing , sweetheart . i told you many years ago , and i 'll tell you again -- stay away from that man . amber : you know , it does n't seem like sam to be so callous . hector : there can only be one explanation for the change in samantha 's behavior -- her mother . amber : but sam 's always seemed too strong and independent to let someone manipulate her . hector : i have wracked my brain over and over . it 's the only answer i can come up with . she could never shake that mother of hers . and her mom was this self- absorbed , controlling woman , who robbed samantha of her beautiful soul . amber : does she have horns and a pitchfork , too ? hector : she molded her daughter into her own image -- this narrow - minded , shallow woman who did n't care about anything but appearances . amber : and , uh , you think sam 's like that ? hector : i 'm glad i do n't know her today . i mean , when she saw me and did n't even acknowledge the fact that she turned her back on -- turned her back on me , after all these years , it was her mother all over again . amber : well , you know , maybe it was just miscommunication . hector : more like noncommunication . years of it . i never thought it would happen to samantha , but obviously , i was wrong . there was always something about priscilla . wherever there was trouble , she was never far behind . samantha : you never liked hector . priscilla : no , i did n't . and can you blame me ? he almost ruined your life . i just thank god that you were n't tied to him forever . samantha : i 'll always feel tied to him , mother . i carried his child . priscilla : i know it was a very traumatic time for you , dear . but the smartest thing you ever did was to get hector ramirez out of your life . samantha : you were just worried about what other people would think . priscilla : that 's not true . i was worried about you . i still am . you are so much better without him . it pains me so much to see you like this , hurting so much , after all these years . samantha , it 's time to move on . samantha : i thought i had . but seeing hector again , it took me back so many years . priscilla : do n't let this man and what happened so many years ago set you back . you have a wonderful life , samantha . enjoy it . [ knocking on door ] sally : oh , darla , the gall of that man ! the absolute arrogance and gall of that man ! i ca n't believe what he did . darla : oh , boy . i take it things did n't go as planned , huh ? sally : not according to my plans . no . darla : okay , come on . spill it . what happened ? sally : you 're not going to believe this . but admirable massimo marone actually had the audacity to suggest that i come in as some kind of a substitute for brooke logan over at logan designs , while she is off on maternity leave . darla : oh , it 's nice of him to think of you , huh ? sally : what are you talking about that was an insult . what does he think of me ? does he think i am some kind of an understudy ? how dare he think that ? darla : no , sally , of course not . you 're the best . and massimo knows that . i 'm sure he just wants you to keep the company from going belly up . sally : and what happens if the company does go belly up , hmm ? i 'm sure mr. marone would be more than happy to sell it back to me then . darla : sally . what are you doing ? sally : wait and see . massimo : hello . sally : hello . massimo : ah , sally . i 'm glad you called . and i 'm sorry if you were offended in any way . sally : oh , no , no . no , no . please , massimo -- it is not for you to apologize . it is for me to do that . and i just want you to know that i have had time to reconsider the whole thing and think about it . and i am much more rational now . and i want to tell you that i am very well aware that the offer you made me is ripe with possibilities . massimo : so , you 'll reconsider ? sally : with your permission , i would like nothing better than to come and to take over logan designs while brooke is away taking care of her baby . massimo : it is a pleasure to have you back on board . it really is . thank you . sally : this is my pleasure , believe me . i look forward to working with you . bye - bye . oh , yes . i do look forward to being part of logan designs and working for you massimo . i will give it all i 've got . sally : i 'll run your company for you . you bet i will . i 'm gon na run it right into the ground .

[ smooches ] brooke : love you . maya : you want to know one of the reasons that i never told you ? this . what 's happening right now . it is so hard to make someone who has never had to question their identity understand what i went through -- the changes that i had to go through to become my true self . carter : truth ? you want to talk truth ? okay . you say you 're not ashamed of who you are . maya : i 'm not . carter : but you hide it . maya : and that was a mistake . but i was so insecure , and i thought that you would n't love me . and i 've learned from that now . carter : not if you 're repeating it . maya : i - i will tell rick . i - i will -- when and if he proposes . carter : i proposed to you ! so that 's not good enough , maya . i had a hard buying you and rick as a couple , and he is not my favorite person , but ... he deserves to know who you are . maya : and he will . but this is not yours to tell , carter . it is my life . carter : it 's his life , too , just like it was mine . he has a right to know what he 's into . he has a right to know who he 's with . maya : me ! maya ! the same woman he has always known . carter : keep telling yourself that . but we know how rick feels about secrets , and they do n't come bigger than this . maya : carter , please . please . carter : no , no , no , no . you played me for a fool ! i wo n't watch you do the same thing to rick . maya : i can not let you do this ! carter : you ca n't stop me ! rick : what 's going on ? maya ? carter : i was coming to find you . rick : yeah , well , you do n't have to anymore . maya : carter , please . carter : i 'm single . i 've got no kids . my first loyalty is forrester creations and acting in the best interests for this company and you as c.e.o . and down the line , when the truth comes out -- and it will -- i do n't want to be in the middle of something of some `` you should have told me `` mess . rick : what truth ? carter : you and i have a lot in common , dude ... and you wo n't believe what it is . | carter is listening at the door when he hears maya say this is her private business and she is proud of who she is . but nicole counters that maybe but not who she was myron . carter comes back when nicole leaves and confronts maya who knows he must have heard . wyatt startles quinn when she comes out of her daydream that she stabbed brooke and told her look what she had forced her to do . wyatt knows that look on her face means she is in some bad place . he feels like it is the calm before the storm since he just told her some pretty shocking news about deacon . he had gone nuts and said he could have another chance with brooke if it were n't for quinn . he does not trust him . she says he may be right and they will find out soon . she says she wo n't do anything stupid . she is just going to stay here and ask deacon about it , if he still has feelings for brooke . brooke finds katie and rick at the skytop roof and she joins them . rick says he is making progress with caroline and trying to work things out with their working relationship . he tells her that her opinions are important to him and he 'd like to see her around more . she brings up quinn and why rick re - hired her . carter tells maya this is crazy . they were involved and he would have known if she had been born a boy . she asks him to listen with an open mind . she never felt like a boy . she always liked pretty dresses and dolls but her dad wanted a boy so by god she was a boy . but in the core of her being she was a woman .and later she had surgery when she was with jesse . the baby girl was his bio daughter but she was the mother in every sense of the word . carter is livid that they slept together and she never told him . she admits she should have told him . he says their whole relationship was a lie and would have continued if they had not broken up . and now what about rick .. does he know . she begs him to promise not to say anything to anyone . brooke tells rick that he can not re - hire quinn never mind that she is completely out of her mind and dangerous . she is still unpredictable and volatile . rick says she is changed and that is why wyatt is still here to keep an eye on her . |

the forresters who just give to the one - percenters . we are giving style and glamour to the working stiffs just like my sister did . and we 're gon na do it before someone else does ! sally : okay . let 'em . and you know what ?

you think the forresters respect us ? they 're nothing but beverly hills elitists . sally : that is not who they are ! brooke logan started off catering at the forrester estate and now look where she is . thomas will never speak to me again if he finds out that i did this . shirley : i never should have sent you to australia . you 've come back a lovesick puppy ! i raised you and your sister to be tougher . i made an investment in you . i came all the way to the golden state to cash in . i will not be dumped for mr. muscles now . sally : i 'm just trying to make you see -- saul : we got it . ridge forrester 's latest design with some changes . shirley : oh ! it 's glorious . this collection is gon na save our butts . sally : people are gon na know that they 're knockoffs . shirley : not if we show them first . listen to me . you 're gon na have a ton of men in your life , but you 're only gon na have one grandmother , a grams who loves you like a mother , who 's always looked out for you , and that 's what i 'm doing now -- looking out for you . if we do n't do this , we 're gon na go down -- darlita , saul , coco , you , me . we 're all going down with the ship . unless we do this . is that what you want ?

[ scene_break ] bill : you got to wonder if rick 's eyes are finally being opened to maya . katie : oh , i do n't think so . you should have heard him going on and on about how honesty is the most important thing to him . i mean , he certainly was n't honest to caroline when he was shacking up with maya , and he seems to have conveniently forgotten her gold - digging days . he is committed . liam : well , at least that 's what he wants everyone to think . katie : he says he 's very much in love . i think it would take something major to break them up . bill : i do n't buy it . i mean , not that i 'd want it , but rick would leave maya high and dry if caroline snapped her fingers . katie : well , she is still waiting for the divorce to go through . liam : i mean , if you ask caroline , she 'll tell you she 's very happy with ridge , that she 's ready to move on . so ... it kind of seems like maya is the woman in rick 's life right now .

right there . he 's not even trying to hide it . well , except from you . sally : okay . all right . you know what ? big whoop . so he has a kid . it would n't be the first person in the world to have a child with a woman that he does n't care about . shirley : not just any woman . that 's caroline spencer . a famous designer . a gazillionaire . sweetheart , you think you can compete ? sally : she lives in new york . she 's not even in his life anymore . shirley : honey , the mother of a man 's child is always in his life . thomas is just out here having a few flings with whatever woman catches his eye . his son is growing up in new york with his beautiful , talented mother . it wo n't be long before thomas wants to be a part of that . do you see why we ca n't change our plans ? we have to beat the forresters to the runway . we 've got to make some serious money and make the spectra name be something again . sally , you need to get your head on straight . be loyal to your family . we need those designs . without them , we do n't have a chance . we will go under . shifty will be calling you up demanding payment . what then ? you ca n't let that happen , not for thomas forrester , not for a man with a child in new york with his mother . you need to end that relationship today . call him up . tell him you want to meet him . sally : i do n't know if i can -- shirley : sally , do it . after all i 've done for you , you owe me . end that relationship with thomas today . saul : any updates ?

[ scene_break ] stephanie : you 'd think they would . i suppose it 's less stressful though than facing the real world . bridget : not to anyone in this building . stephanie : look , why do n't you just stick to , `` no comment , `` for now . bridget : all right , that 's good enough for me . so , if i see ridge , should i just tell him to stop by your office ? stephanie : no , tell him to go home . bridget : it 's that tough on him , huh ? this break - up ? stephanie : you 'd think , knowing that your mother got off a plane and went right over to nick 's , would certainly give him pause . and certainly , help him to forget all about her . bridget : getting angry is good . getting on this your life is so much better . sometimes the best thing someone can do to get over someone else is just to meet someone new . stephanie : hmm . well , your lips to god 's ear .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : some people are capable of creating great achievements . it requires talent , hard work and a gift to inspire others as well . eric forrester grew up a tailor 's son in an era when high fashion had already witnessed its heyday . he opened a small design business , and within a few seasons , it grew into one of the world 's premier fashion houses , forrester creations . the forrester label was to become synonymous with elegance , style and sophistication . from season to season , the forrester runways set the trends , raised the bar and became the envy of designers the world over . eric was invited to present collections in italy , france , australia , asia . his achievements were legendary -- 15 designer of the year awards , 12 fabric institute platinum awards , 13 international best of show medallions , and the youngest member ever to be elected to the prestigious fashion hall of fame . but the forrester revolution was n't merely about grace and elegance . eric became a leading spokesperson and fundraiser for many social causes . among them -- aids , world hunger and disaster relief . eric forrester has a heart as big as his talent . if one were to ask him to name his crowning achievement , his answer would be , without hesitation , his family . as a father , eric is second to none . as a husband , eric is cherished . today , he passes the torch to his son ridge . and so today we pay tribute to a man who stands alone in the fashion world and in the hearts of his family . we salute you . we stand in awe of your achievement . but mostly , we love you .

( sighs ) i was very moved . stephanie : well , it was my pleasure . but , you know , i think i 've upset your wife , because i did n't tell her ahead of time . eric : ah . stephanie : it just all so -- happened so quickly . you know what i mean ? here , have a little . eric : all right . stephanie : um , now that we 've got control of the company , i do n't know , it just seemed like the perfect time . eric : it was . thank you . i know why you did it . it does n't matter what anybody else thinks . i know what your motives were . they were to honor me -- pure and simple . of course i know that about you . if i do n't know you that well by now , when would i ? and what -- what amazes me is that you did it for me at all . you 're the one person in the world that i 've hurt more than anybody else , and yet , there you were by my side once again as always . ( sighs ) right by my side . you 've always been by my side at home and at work and ... stephanie : that 's a lovely thing for you to say . eric : well , that 's the truth . everything we 've done has been an enormous accomplishment , and not just mine . it 's been ours . everything i 've accomplished , i could not have done without you . our children of course , but i mean this company and our reputation in this world . i did it with you . and i thank you . how am i ever gon na thank you for that ? stephanie : you 're welcome . and just for the , um , record , i did n't sacrifice my life for you . i fulfilled my life with you . eric : mm . stephanie : i love you . i 've always loved you . eric : i love you , too . i 'll always love you .

( flashback ) [ tires screeching ] ( present time ) bill : i was on my way home from the office . katie and i had been arguing . i called brooke and told her to meet at the house so the three of us could hash this out . that 's when the accident happened . donna : so how do you fit into this ? brooke : i was going over to meet bill , and we collided . donna : the two of you hit each other . brooke : yes , we had an accident , and my car was totaled . his car was okay , but he was hurt , so i drove him to my house . donna : why would n't you just go home ? brooke : it was closer . donna : no , something -- something more is ... going on here . katie said that you were drinking , that you were taking a shot every time she said no . i imagine that you took a lot more shots after she left . bill : i did . i drank too much . katie was pushing my buttons . the point is , i never should have been driving . donna : so , you went to brooke 's so katie would n't see you drunk ? you -- you 're protecting him ? brooke : from more than just katie . the police found my car , donna . and lieutenant baker came snooping around . donna : and he found bill all drunk , and he put two and two together , and -- brooke : no . no , i hid bill in my bedroom . donna : your bedroom ? brooke : yes ! he could n't know that bill was there . it would have become a huge scandal . donna : why did n't you just explain all of this to katie when she called on the phone that night ? brooke : and tell her that he was drinking and driving ? do you know how furious she would have been ? bill : baker was watching the house . if katie had come charging over , the whole thing would have blown up sky - high . donna : so did n't baker see your crashed car ? brooke : no , i hid it in the garage , and i told him he could n't go in there without a search warrant . donna : brooke . bill : look , donna , this is a family matter , all right ? it is a night that went terribly wrong . donna : it would have been a legal matter had she not stepped in to protect you . brooke : stop . all that matters here is katie . that is what we need to focus on . donna : tell me nothing happened between the two of you last night . brooke : no . no , i slept in the guest room . donna : and this morning ? when katie arrived ? bill : i was still hung over . brooke was helping me . i had n't even gotten out of the bed yet . that 's when katie came in . donna : oh , great . great , great . so , katie saw the two of you in bed again . just what she needed to see . look , this -- this all might have been innocent , this all might have been done for the right reasons ... but katie was obviously very upset when she left your house , and ... and now she 's in there fighting for her life , so we have to pull together here , and we have to help her through this . we can not lose our sister , brooke .

[ laughs ] are you not dreading working with my mother as much as we thought ? ivy : you know -- you know that there was a time i would have done anything to have worked alongside your mother . wyatt : yeah . now that you found out she 's a head case ... ivy : well ... it 's just rick 's expectations are so high . i mean , if her and i ca n't figure out a way to make things work out somehow ... wyatt : hey . ivy : look , i would n't put it past quinn to blame me to save herself . wyatt : right . um ... quinn : wow . talking smack about me already ? wyatt : hi , mom . you 're late , mother . quinn : oh , well , i had to stop by rick 's office first -- drop off my little thank - you gift . ivy : oh , wow . buttering up the boss already . that 's nice . quinn : well , no . rick went out on a limb , bringing me back to forrester . believe it or not , not everyone is thrilled that i 'm back . wyatt : well , there 's one way to change that -- do n't do crazy things . quinn : hey . can we stop using that word ? my crazy days are over , okay ? ivy : oh , can we get that in writing , please ? quinn : ivy ... i 'm actually really excited to start working with you . i think you 're a really talented jewelry designer , and i think -- no , i know -- that we can do great things here at forrester if you could just get past that whole bridge - fiasco thing , because i am a different woman now . ivy : what if i ca n't do that ? quinn : well , then , we have a problem -- one rick needs to hear about . [ scene_break ] ridge : you 're in this meeting now ? brooke : never mind that . i thought you were past this , ridge . ridge : past what ? i - i ca n't disagree with your son about anything ? maya : well , that 's the problem , is n't it ? you disagree with him about everything . pam : oh , that 's so unfair . brooke : ridge is being unfair . my son is c.e.o . of this company . ridge : oh , we do n't need a reminder . brooke : there you go again , putting down rick any chance you get . ridge : i 'm not putting him down . i 'm stating the obvious . and ricky would agree with me . brooke : rick -- his name is rick . ridge : `` rick , `` `` ricky `` -- what 's the difference ? brooke : we all know you resent the fact that eric elevated my son 's position in this company , but i 'm not gon na allow you to create more dissension within this group . ridge : i do n't think ricky -- rick -- rick needs any help with that . rick : rick . and i 've acknowledged it , and i 'm making the necessary adjustments . maya : yeah , and that 's evident in the fact that rick and the staff are getting along much better now . brooke : yes , of course , because they see what rick is doing with this company , and it shows in those record quarterly profits ! ridge : the mother lion -- she 's here , huh ? awesome . i do n't have time for this . brooke : [ sighs ] rick : wow . well , thank you . i now have two women fighting for me . [ scene_break ] quinn : i really like this piece . it 's a unique setting . it 's unconventional , but it 's a harmonious mix of stones . so , what are you thinking ? are you thinking this piece with this ensemble ? ivy : yeah . quinn : well , have you run it by rick yet ? would you like me to ? wyatt : mom , it 's ivy 's design . i mean , you 're not thinking you 're gon na go in there and take credit for it , do you ? quinn : i 'm not taking credit for it . she says she 's having a hard time with rick , so i was gon na help run interference . ivy : it 's okay . quinn 's just trying to help , i think . quinn : i am . carter : productive meeting ? wyatt : hey , carter . are those the , uh -- carter : revised budget allowance for the jewelry line now that quinn 's back on board . ivy : rick 's increased our budget ? carter : on one condition -- you make every dollar count . wyatt : any other directives from our fearless leader ? ivy : well , apart from the usual , of course . quinn : what 's the usual ? ivy : oh . well , when designing , always think of maya -- her beauty , her femininity . [ scene_break ] ridge : can maya be any more annoying ? and we 've got prince c.e.o . being propped up by his mother . [ cell phone chimes ] ridge : who 's this ? oh , here we go . pam : [ laughs ] ridge : notes from rick . uh ... `` hem is about an inch too high , and ... the neckline is too severe `` ? i do n't even know what that means . pam : none of this would be happening if steph was alive . there is no way that she would let rick run roughshod over everyone she loves . she 'd be the one out there firing shots in the hallway . ridge : why ca n't my dad wake up ? pam : because rick just loves playing that guilt card with eric . `` dad , poor me . you always loved ridge more than me , and ridge is so mean to my mommy . there 's nothing i can do . `` is it any wonder that eric falls for it ? ridge : no . rick 's playing everybody , huh -- my dad , brooke ? no one can see it . oh , man , i 'm tired . i do n't want to do this anymore . pam : ridge ... please , please , please hang in there . you are your mother 's son . you 're a fighter . you ca n't let them win . [ scene_break ] rick : still no response from ridge to my text . brooke : oh . you were expecting one ? rick : yeah , something along the lines of ... `` it will be a cold day in hell before i ever listen to anything you have to say , you little runt . `` brooke : oh . this ca n't go on . rick : i know . i mean , something 's got to give . it 's not going to be ridge . brooke : so , what about caroline ? is she working against you , too ? rick : i 'm almost certain that ridge has some sort of influence on her . brooke : ah , right . so she is . rick : yeah , maybe not as much as he thinks . maya : how so ? rick : well , caroline and i -- we 've been through a lot together . we 're trying to work past that enough that we can actually have an effective work relationship . but , uh , i still think it would be smart to bring in reinforcements . brooke : to keep ridge in line . rick : no one can do that better than you , mom , and if you came back to forrester full - time ... brooke : ohh . honey , you do n't need me . you 're doing just fine on your own . rick : thank you for the support , and , yes , i know . [ chuckles ] but i would be doing a lot better if i was n't dealing with a disgruntled designer . maya : and i know rick would love working with his mother again . you 're very important to him , brooke . rick : so , what do you say , mom ? we could really use you around here . your amazing ideas , from the belief formula to brooke 's bedroom -- you 've always been a force at forrester creations . and the fact that you 'll have my back in such a crucial time ... can i count on you ? brooke : uh ... [ chuckles ] uh , yes . actually , yes , you can count on me . if you need me back here full - time to do whatever it is that you need me to do , yes , i will be here -- for you , my wonderful son . [ both chuckle ] brooke : thank you . [ scene_break ] pam : are you gon na make the adjustments that rick wants ? ridge : i 'm not changing anything . it 's perfect just the way it is . pam : good , 'cause you 're the designer . he 's a glorified number cruncher . ridge : yeah , with an insatiable appetite for power . pam : yeah . i wonder where he got that from . i mean , brooke comes off all giggly and jiggly , but she would not be co - vice president of forrester if she did n't have her own self - interests at heart . ridge : hey , hey , hey . brooke is good at what she does . she used to be . but somehow , she 's lost all perspective where her son is concerned . come on . off you go , back to your desk . pam : okay . ridge : rick is already upset because you 're siding with me . pam : i know . you should be ceo , ridge . everybody thinks so . it 's what everybody wants . and it 's going to happen . please do n't lose faith . it 's what steph would have wanted . ridge : i miss her , too , pam . i miss her , too . [ scene_break ] rick : well , get on it right away . i want everyone to know that brooke logan is back full - time as co - v.p . oh , and she 's already kicking butt . brooke : [ chuckles ] kicking butt ? rick : well , how else would you describe how you just handled ridge ? maya : he 's probably sitting in his office , complaining about you right now . brooke : as long as he realizes i wo n't let him sabotage rick 's career . if anything , he owes you for what he put you through while growing up . so do i . rick : you do n't owe me anything . i 'm just glad that you 're doing better . i was starting to worry . brooke : yeah . i was -- i was a bit worried , too . i did n't like the direction my life was going in . it just felt so out of control . but everything is fine now . things are looking up . maya : well , that 's wonderful . brooke : yeah . for the first time in so long , i 'm not thinking about what man i 'm going to be with next . i 'm just thinking about my children -- focused mostly on you , sweetie . and i 'm sorry if lately i 've neglected you and i have n't fully appreciated what you 've found in maya , but i see how much maya loves you . i just want to say i 'm thrilled . really , i 'm -- i 'm very happy for the two of you . [ scene_break ] wyatt : here . let me take a look at those . quinn : you do n't like maya very much , do you ? ivy : [ sighs ] you know what ? let 's just say the climate at forrester has changed a lot since you were last here . now it 's all about rick and his girlfriend . quinn : the woman carter almost married . i 'm sure you have a few fascinating tidbits to tell us about your ex - fiancée , if you wanted to . [ scene_break ] maya : how do you think ridge will react when he finds out about your mother ? rick : mm ... who cares ? [ both chuckle ] rick : i 'm just glad that she 's back on our side . pam : who ? rick : my mom . she 's back at forrester full - time . now run . run and tell ridge . i 'm sure he 'll be as thrilled as you obviously are . [ scene_break ] ridge : now what ? brooke : i worry about you . ridge : ah . well , that 's funny . brooke : you really think that 's funny ? ridge : yeah . you do n't see that things at forrester are a little screwy ? brooke : no . i - i do n't see why . ridge : because i ca n't take rick seriously . it 's like somebody said , `` oh , look -- there 's a dog with his head out the window . let 's let him drive . `` brooke : do you really not know how offensive you are ? that 's a boy that you raised , on and off , for years . ridge : that 's a boy who should not be running this company ! is that why you 're here -- because you need to prop him up ? [ scene_break ] ivy : well , maya claims she 's an open book . wyatt : heh . rick certainly thinks so . quinn : well , he 's in love . men in love will believe anything . wyatt : what about women in love ? quinn : i think we 're talking about maya . and i 'm just curious if carter knows something that the rest of us do n't -- you know , stuff that comes up in that relationship - y , safe - from - the - world talk . carter : look , we really need to go over these projections , okay ? and as for maya not being who she seems , who is ? [ scene_break ] brooke : tell me something . do you really think your behavior has been unimpeachable ? ridge : what behavior is that ? brooke : where do you get off treating maya the way you do , for instance ? ridge : what ? no , you ca n't do that . you 're a little late to that party . you were in milan , and when you came back , you did n't stop by the office , so you did n't see maya operate . brooke : i 've seen how much she really loves my son . ridge : oh . okay . good . then maybe the prison system does work . she 's rehabilitated . brooke : ohh . i do n't remember you being so arrogant and so insensitive . ridge : really ? i 've always been arrogant and insensitive , all my life . what i do n't remember is you being so critical about me , unless , of course , it 's about rick . so , when did this happen ? when did you start drinking the maya juice ? i thought you wanted rick to be with caroline . brooke : i 've seen how maya defends rick , especially when you and caroline are doing everything you can to rip him apart . ridge : no , no , no , no . i 'm doing everything to rip him apart . caroline 's doing nothing . brooke : are you really gon na defend that girl to me ? ridge : and there it is . there 's the rub . that 's why you 're here . that 's what you want to talk about . brooke : i just want to know , is this your midlife crisis ? ridge : [ laughs ] i got to tell you , right now , it seems like my midlife salvation . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : come on . i know you have a reason to be upset with me . brooke : oh , i have more than one reason ! you want me to list them all for you again ? ridge : go ahead . brooke : okay . well -- ridge : that 's okay . do n't . i got it . i know all the reasons . and i also know the reason why you 're here . you want something . you 're expecting something from me . and i ca n't give it to you . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] maya : feels good to have your mother 's support , huh ? rick : yes , but in no way does it overshadow all the support that you 've given me . maya : and what about the support that you 've given me ? rick : does n't even compare ! i was being lied to . i was being deceived . and who knows how long it would go on for ? but you did n't let it , because you know how much i value honesty . now , i know there are still things that we 're yet to discover about each other . but whatever it is , i 'm sure it 's gon na make our relationship that much stronger , because i love you , maya . i love you for the beautiful woman you are . | rick and maya exchange kisses when quinn barges in . pam tries to stop her but quinn presents rick with the letter opener that she made for the new ceo . ridge barges in and rick asks if he has a problem . ridge says yes he does as long as rick is behind that desk . brooke shows up for work and chastises ridge for speaking in that tone to the ceo of this company . ivy gives wyatt a compliment but not so much for her working with his mother . she is a little intimated . quinn walks up and hears her talking smack already before they even start . quinn says she is really excited about working with ivy and she wishes she would get past that crazy part as she is a new woman now . wyatt tells her to prove it and ivy wants to see that in writing . ridge continues to badger ricky boy and brooke keeps defending him as being better to the staff . ridge has no time for this and leaves . rick thanks brooke for coming to his defense and says that makes two women on his side . pam tells ridge there is no way any of this would be happening if stephanie were here . she would not let rick run roughshod over those she loves . she begs ridge to hang in there ; he is his mother 's son . ridge says he is not changing anything on his designs . they are fine the way they are . and brooke is okay even though she is siding with her son . pam tells ridge not to lose faith as he will be ceo himself once this is over . |

'cause my son with bill dated your daughter . and not only dated , they ... they were high school sweethearts . bill : okay , quinn , listen . you do n't have to draw a picture , alright ? we get it . but none of this matters if i 'm not the father , and i have to believe i 'm not . quinn : okay , and i 'd like to believe that , too . but wyatt needs to know . he 's been spending time with flo lately . they 've been getting closer . shauna , i know you care about wyatt . but they need to know . wyatt and flo need to know that they could be siblings . wyatt : hope wants to see you right now ? flo : yeah . at forrester . wyatt : and you told her you 'd go ? flo : yeah . wyatt : but you do n't want to . flo : no . wyatt : and i know why . okay , look . flo , we put a rush on the dna results , okay ? they 'll be here very soon . and i know that it 's very hard to think about anything else right now until you get said results , but ... i have a good feeling that you are gon na know very soon and your whole world is gon na change . okay , how about this . you put me on the e - mails and everything , right ? flo : yeah . wyatt : so how about you go find out what hope wants , and if something happens , i 'll let you know . sound like a plan ? flo : thank you . yeah . wyatt : look . i 'm -- i 'm really excited for you . trying to find out who your dad is ... i lucked out , finding out that my dad was bill spencer . i just ... i hope that you 're as lucky . flo : [ sighs ] hope : ta - da ! flo : oh , my ... hope : so ... that was pretty much the quick tour of the executive floor . i mean , i could show you the showrooms next if you want , or if you 'd like to catch your breath . flo : it 's just -- wow . it is -- i had no idea what to expect , but it is so exciting and glamorous in here . hope : [ chuckles ] yeah . i mean , i - i wish that eric were available . i mean , he founded this company with his wife stephanie many years ago , and i 'd really like to introduce you to him . flo : is he still with the company ? hope : oh , yes . i mean , most of the forresters are . it 's a family business . flo : you said that your , uh , your mom works here , right , and she 's a logan ? hope : uh , yes . um , she was before she married ridge , and she was actually also married to eric once upon a time , but that 's a long story . flo : it sounds like the logans and the forresters go way back . hope : mm - hmm . but , well , maybe not in the way that you think . i mean , the logans were actually a working - class family , were from the valley . and the forresters , well ... yeah [ chuckles ] need i say more ? & it still amazes me how entwined our families have become . donna : quinn , the shipment that you were expecting should have been here -- oh , hope . hi . i did n't realize you were here with a guest . hope : aunt donna , this is my friend , flo fulton . flo fulton , this is my mom 's sister donna logan . i was actually just telling her about the history of the forresters and the logans . donna : oh , uh , the abridged version , i hope . otherwise , your friend will be here all day . hope : [ laughs ] donna : how do you two know each other ? hope : uh ... flo : it 's okay . you can tell her . hope : uh , well , uh , flo is actually phoebe 's birth mom . donna : phoebe ? a - as in steffy 's phoebe ? oh . okay . wow . uh ... hope : also , i - i realized you may not know this , but steffy is overseas with the girls right now . and i - i really miss them . shauna : well , wyatt has n't changed . he 's handsome as ever .

[ stammers , sighs ] what i 'm trying to say is , um , your father ... could be flo 's father . you and flo could be brother and sister . wyatt : flo -- flo might be my sister ? | quinn and bill quiz shauna and if she is telling them that flo is bill 's daughter . quinn says shauna says she is but is she sure . bill claims this is just another lady trying to shake him down for his money . shauna says it is not , so bill says enough of this they will go back right now to his office and get this cleared up without pam interrupting . zoe tells hope that she does n't want to overstep but if she had another child perhaps that hole in her heart for beth would be filled . flo tells wyatt again that she remembers the first time they said they loved each other and she will say it again , a little piece of her will always be in love with him . she hopes finding her father will change her life just the way it changed wyatt 's . they check their e - mails and no results yet from the dna . zoe tells hope that she does not think that is a good idea for her to keep in touch with flo since she is still dealing with giving up a child and hope losing one . hope calls anyway and asks flo if they can get together . she was hoping flo could help her with something . flo agrees to meet her at forrester . bill says now that they are behind closed doors he wants answers and he wants them now . quinn tells shauna it is essential and she knows shauna cares about wyatt . he and flo were childhood sweethearts and now shauna is saying they could be siblings . they have to know . |
[ brooke remembering ] ridge : you know the drill . brooke : yes ! yes , of course i 'll marry you ! ridge : oh , my logan . brooke : forever and ever . ridge : you bastard ! get off of her ! phoebe : dad ! what are you doing , dad ? leave him alone ! ridge : get off her ! phoebe : dad ? dad ! brooke : i do n't want to be your wife , ridge . i ca n't be your wife . rick : mom -- brooke : hi , honey . rick : you okay ? brooke : yeah , just thinking . rick : thinking about ridge ? brooke : ridge and i had so many wonderful memories . but now , when i think about ridge , all i see is what he did to you . rick : mom , i want to apologize . i know that i pushed you to end things with him . and i just -- i really hate to see you hurting like this . how have things been since you 've been back here ? brooke : well , not so good , really . which is why i 've made a decision . i 'm resigning from forrester originals . [ scene_break ] ridge : no , that 's about it . i ca n't seem to get through that thing . ashley : well , you certainly made a valiant effort . i mean , who designs a supply closet that does n't open from the inside ? ridge : good question . i 'll call maintenance first thing , see if we can deal with it . ashley : yeah , well , here we are . are you going to answer my question ? ridge : what do i do to try and get over someone ? ashley : yeah . i mean , i 'm just wondering . but , if it 's too personal , then -- ridge : no , it 's not that , i just -- i 'm not sure you really want to hear it . [ ashley laughs ] ashley : now that sounds intriguing . i 'm going to have to take a stab at it myself , i think . let 's see . given your reputation as a lady 's man , i 'd say maybe you go through your little black book , you make a few calls , and pretty soon , before you know it , a good time is knocking at your door . how 'd i do ? ridge : hmm . can i take the fifth ? ashley : i knew it . i knew it . ridge : well , actually that 's more of the old ridge forrester . ashley : there 's a new ridge forrester ? ridge : yeah . the new ridge forrester tries to figure out how everything messed up . how i would lose brooke on the eve of us reconnecting with each other and recommitting to each other -- things were kind of brutal . ashley : are you absolutely sure it 's over ? ridge : brooke and i were about to start our new life together , something we always dreamed about . we wanted to raise our son . we wanted to grow old together . how does one bounce back from that ? ashley : i do n't know . but you do . i mean , you know , it takes time . but eventually , it does happen . ridge : well , you sound like you have some experience in that department . ashley : who me ? no . [ ashley laughs ] yeah , i have a little experience in that department . you know , loving somebody that deeply -- it 's exquisite , is n't it ? it just means that losing them is that much more painful . ridge : could that be why you 've had so many changes in your life recently ? because of a man ? [ scene_break ] rick : mom , you 're quitting forrester originals ? brooke : i have to . rick : but , no . mom , your career means so much to you . it -- it 's stephanie , is n't it ? she 's forcing you out . because i 'll -- brooke : no , it 's not stephanie . it 's nick . when i was married to him , it used to bother him that i worked with ridge , and i just would n't lien . now , i need to show him that he is more important to me than anything or anyone . rick : well , you know that i 'm all in favor of you and nick . but , have you thought about the possibility that taylor could already be carrying his child ? [ scene_break ] nick : i know it 's a lot , but have it copied and sent out today , would you ? meriah : right away . nick : thank you , meriah . meriah : mm - hmm . may i help you ? phoebe : i need to see mr. marone . meriah : did you have an appointment ? nick : it 's okay , meriah . it 's all right , thank you . come in . what a pleasant surprise . phoebe : hi . i need to talk to you . nick : okay . well , there 's a seat right there with your name on it . phoebe : you know about my dad and brooke , right ? nick : that they called off the wedding ? phoebe : it looks like they 're not getting married , like , ever . nick : you do n't think that they 'll work things out ? phoebe : not this time . i mean , i never thought they 'd actually break up , but now that they have -- nick : go ahead . say what you need to say . phoebe : look , i 'm trying to be supportive of you and my mother . but i 'd be lying if i said i did n't want my parents back together . nick : well , i certainly understand you wanting your mom and dad back together . i think most children with divorced parents feel the same way . phoebe : yeah , well , it makes me feel selfish . nick : why ? why do you feel selfish ? phoebe ; well , like , when brooke called off the wedding , the first thing in the back of my head was , you know , maybe this gives my parents another shot . when i got home from sydney and saw how excited my mom was about marrying you , i felt wrong putting my want in front of hers . especially since you guys are trying to have a kid . nick : your mother told you that ? phoebe ; no , rick did . was i not supposed to know or something ? nick : well , i guess what matters most is how you feel about that . phoebe : i do n't know anymore . i mean , last year , it was just a really hard year for mom . and with things not working out with thorne -- she 's just -- she 's been though a lot , and deserves a little happiness . nick : well , i agree with that . phoebe ; well , the question is , are you the man to make her happy ? i mean , i 'm a forrester . you stole my grandfather 's company , and my grandmother , my dad -- they all hate you . and i 'm supposed to hate you , too , but i do n't want to . look , i need to know i can trust you . more importantly , that my mother can trust you . and i 'd like to hear that from you . [ scene_break ] brooke : odds are , taylor is n't pregnant already . rick : fair enough . but what if she is ? what then , for you and nick ? brooke : i 'll just cross that bridge when i come to it . but i 'd much rather talk about you and phoebe . how are things ? [ rick laughs ] rick : they 're fine . brooke : just fine ? rick : great . okay ? they 're great . brooke : oh , i see . you do n't want to discuss certain things about your girlfriend with your mother . rick : well , not really . but we 're not having sex . we decided to wait . brooke : for how long ? rick : just until we 're committed . brooke : oh , that 's great . but you 're not a boy anymore . i mean , i think you 've had your share of women . i 'm assuming . rick : you know , you and ashley should really talk . you sound exactly alike . brooke : you discussed you sex life with ashley abbott ? rick : yeah . i mean , she asked about phoebe , and i told her . she 's very easy to talk to . brooke : apparently . i guess you two have some kind of chemistry . rick : now , why would you say something like that ? brooke : because you speak so highly of her , and you worked together in paris . and ashley must have had a good experience . otherwise she would n't have called searching for a job at forrester originals . rick : whoa , whoa , whoa . hey , hey . i 'm a little confused . i mean , i thought you reached out to her about the job . brooke : not initially , no . she contacted me first . [ scene_break ] ashley : you men are unbelievable . ridge : what did we do now ? ashley : just because a woman decides that she needs a fresh start and a new place , you automatically assume that it has to do with a man . ridge : tell me i 'm wrong . ashley : okay , i have made my fair share of mistakes . and , yes , a few of them have had to do with men . the one thing i 've learned is that no matter where you go , you always take your baggage with you . ridge : i would agree with that . do n't you wish there was a button you could push to take away all of the stupid things you had done in your life ? ashley : you 're talking about brooke ? ridge : oh , brooke , phoebe , rick -- i know i should n't have punched him . that was -- impulsive , irresponsible -- all those things . but he was in bed with my daughter ! ashley : look , i do n't blame you entirely for what happened . i mean , rick is an older , more experienced man . you found him alone with your 18-year - old daughter . i mean , i would have felt the same way . ridge : well , hallelujah . ashley : what ? ridge : i found somebody who 's kind of in sympathy with what i 'm feeling . ashley : no , no , no , no . well , not really that in sympathy . i mean , you know how i feel about violence . it does n't solve anything , right ? we went over that . ridge : okay , maybe not , but i still regret it . ashley : i 'm no stranger to regret . ridge : yeah ? what do you regret , ashley ? [ scene_break ] phoebe : can you give me an answer ? can mom trust you ? nick : yes . and so can you . now , i know i 'm not a big favorite of most of the people in your family , like you just finished telling me , but i sure would like a chance to prove myself to you and your mother . phoebe : well , that sounds fair . nick : you know , we 're not so different , you and me . your situation with rick was -- well , is -- a pretty sensitive one . phoebe : yeah . nick : i can certainly understand what you went through . phoebe : i guess you were one of the only ones who did n't freak out . nick : well , maybe it 's my turn to be calm . i know that your mother loves you , and she wants what 's best for you . and i see that 's what you want for her . now , i 'm certainly not perfect , but i love your mom . and i think that she loves me . that 's just about the only answer i have for you , kid . if you really think about it , that 's probably the only answer you really need to hear , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] ashley : my regrets are legion . we 'll be here all night . ridge : oh , come on . let 's have -- one , at least . a real good one . ashley : okay . i mean , you know , since we 're being so honest . i 'm going to give you a big one . it happened a long time ago . i made a decision -- you know , it was involving victor newman . you know victor ? ridge : you mean , before you were married ? ashley : yeah . it was before we were married . i made a decision because i thought it would be best for everybody involved , you know ? and it 's just looking back , that i know it 's crazy . i mean , you ca n't go back and say , `` what if ? `` but , i wonder how my life would have been different if i had made a different choice . [ ashley remembering ] victor : what have you done ? ashley : the only thing i could do ! victor : you 're not saying what i think you 're saying . ashley : there is no baby , victor . not anymore ! ashley : it 's crazy . i mean , no matter how much you want to , you just ca n't go back . you make your choices , and then you just have to live with them . right ? ridge : yeah , it does n't seem quite fair that one -- one choice in your life should have so much weight . ashley : i know you got your heart broken . it is kind of true , though , what they say about endings also being new beginnings . and i think i 've learned that if you dwell too much on the past , then you miss out on new opportunities . and they sometimes show up when you least expect them to . ridge : you mean like being stuck in a closet ? rick : ashley ? ashley : rick , we 're in here ! [ knocking on door ] hi . rick : what the hell is this ? ashley : oh , we got locked in there . rick : for how long ? ashley : well , not that long . ridge : well , i have a dinner meeting to go to . rick : well , do n't strain yourself . ridge : i 'll see you later . ashley : okay . bye . ridge : have fun . ashley : i 'm so thankful that you came when you did . i do n't like confined spaces . it make me really nervous . rick : can i talk to you for a minute ? ashley : sure , what 's up ? rick : why did n't you tell me ? that you contacted my mom about this job ? why would you keep that from me ? - what if we all said no . - no . [ scene_break ] phoebe : hi , brooke . have you seen rick anywhere ? brooke : i -- i think he 's in the lab . phoebe : okay -- thanks . i 'll go find him . brooke : is there anything else ? phoebe : i just -- i wanted to say i 'm sorry about you and dad . i feel partially responsible for what happened . if you had n't stood up for rick and i , then you 'd be married by now . brooke : probably . phoebe : i know my father still loves you . maybe after some time goes by , you can -- you know , things will get better between the two of you . brooke : no , i need a clean break . in more ways than one . phoebe : what do you mean ? brooke : i 'm resigning from forrester originals . phoebe : what ? brooke -- brooke : it 's best , phoebe . for everyone . for ridge , for me . phoebe : are you going to try to get back together with nick ? he and my mom are engaged . brooke : i guess things will just work out the way they 're meant to be . kind of like how it worked out for you and my son . phoebe : yeah , i love him . brooke : i know you do . and he 's a very lucky man to have you by his side . phoebe : so , the lab , right ? yeah ? brooke : yeah , i can call him , if you want . phoebe : no . no , it 's okay . i 'll just wander down there and surprise him . brooke : okay . phoebe : thanks . [ scene_break ] ashley : i should have told you that i contacted your mom . rick : so why did n't you ? [ ashley sighs ] ashley : remember when we were in paris and we talked about wanting to work together again ? i thought it was something we both wanted . but , then , i did n't hear from you . and then , i started missing you . and i missed what we shared in paris . and then i got to l.a. , and i found out about phoebe . rick : and that threw you off guard ? ashley : a little . look , rick , i do n't know what 's between us . i do n't know where we stand or where we 're going . if anywhere . i just know that something started , something began for me in paris , and it 's something i have n't felt in a long time . rick : something began for me , too , ashley . i just did n't know that you wanted something serious out of this . ashley : no , i did n't . i did n't , i did n't , i did n't . rick : but that 's changed now ? ashley : mm - hmm . somewhere along the way , it became more . [ rick sighs ] rick : ashley , you know , we should have been having this conversation three months ago . i 'm committed to phoebe , now . ashley : do you really love her ? rick : yes . ashley : do you really see yourself building a life with her ? rick : yeah . ashley : does what you and phoebe have compare to what we had in paris ? because we can have it again . i mean , it does n't have to end in paris . it could be just the beginning . | brooke has memories of ridge , but tells rick now all she can think about is what he did to him . she has made a decision to resign from forrester originals . she can show nick that he is more important than anyone . locked inside a supply room closet , ridge and ashley bare their souls . and agree that old endings can mean new beginnings . rick rescues them and then asks ashley why did n't she tell him that she contacted brooke for this job ? phoebe drops in on nick to discuss ridge and brooke 's impasse , and to tell the truth she would like her parents back together . she wants to trust nick too if he 's the right one for her mother . he assures her they love each other and that is about all she needs to hear . |
bridget : there really is another woman , is n't there , nick ? is n't there ? oh , just forget it . i know exactly who it is . i just ca n't believe that she would have the nerve to do this . [ scene_break ] brooke : you must have misunderstood him . storm : oh , i do n't think so . you know ridge . he uses simple words , things like , `` you 're fired . `` not much room for misinterpretation . i 'm not even supposed to be in the building . actually , i 'm kind of surprised he did n't tell you . well , then again , maybe he does n't want to make waves . i do n't know . brooke : he certainly is making them now . what reason could he have to fire you ? storm : oh , he , uh -- he thinks i 'm dangerous , especially after he found out that ashley and i had lunch together . yeah , he 's warned me that i 'm never to see her again . oh , and the kicker is he does n't want me anywhere near my niece and nephew . until further notice , i am to stay away from hope and r.j . brooke : what ? no . no , that 's not right . you know , i 'm gon na talk to him . i 'm gon na make sure that i straighten everything out . storm : well , thanks . you do n't have to do that , but i do appreciate your help . brooke : well , i need your help , too . it 's about jack . storm : yeah , i got your message . you sure you want to do this ? brooke : he is my son , and i need to do everything that i can to protect him from taylor . [ scene_break ] taylor : ( sobbing ) ( sighs ) rick : taylor ? taylor , what happened ? you sounded upset on the phone . taylor : she 's doing it , rick . ( sobbing ) i knew she would do this . the minute i found out the truth , i knew that she would do this . rick : okay , okay . w - what are you talking about ? taylor : your mother -- she came over here after you left , and she threatened me . she said she was convinced i 'm unstable and that jack is n't safe with me . ( sobs ) rick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] bridget : i just do n't know how i could love someone so much , and someone that i 've trusted for so long could turn around and stab me in the back like this . i mean , she 's been in your home a lot lately , though , and i know she feels about you and jack . she 's really integrated herself into your life , and let 's face it . i - i pushed her . i let her do it . i - i - i mean , my god . i 'm so stupid . how many times am i gon na put myself through this ? ( sobs ) so just tell me . it 's my mother . you 're still in love with my mother . nick : no . no , no . god , bridget , this has nothing to do with her . she 's with ridge . that 's -- that 's over . bridget : ( sighs ) well , thank god . nick : and your mother loves you . she -- she will always , always love you . bridget : oh . okay . then i do n't understand . why are you so confused ? nick : you know that i love you . you know that . bridget : i love you , too . nick : ( sighs ) i just do n't ... i just do n't know if i can give you what you need . bridget : do you think you 're overthinking this ? nick : bridget , i am going through a very difficult divorce right now , and you deserve the best from a man . you need a man to be completely available for you . bridget : would you shut up , nick ? that is the biggest cop - out i have ever heard . ( clears throat ) so you 're trying to tell me that you do n't want me in your life ? sure has n't seemed like that in the bedroom . nick : ( sighs ) bridget , everything 's moving so fast for me . i - i really am not sure what the right move is . bridget : who said anything about a move ? slowly -- i thought we were taking this slowly , right ? nick : well , that is what we said , but -- bridget : no buts , nick . no buts . i know you . i know you better than you know yourself sometimes , and i think you 're just scared . that 's essentially what this is about . nick : it 's a lot of things . bridget : i 'm sure it is a lot of things . i know it is . that 's why i wanted to -- to come here and -- and help you out with your child and support you . listen to you . i still want to give you those things . do you still want them from me ? nick : of course i do . bridget : okay . bridget : let 's just do what we originally planned on doing . take this slowly . nick : okay . bridget : okay . i got ta run . [ scene_break ] rick : so let me get this straight . you 're -- you 're telling me that -- that my mother wants custody of jack ? taylor : i think that 's exactly what she 's trying to do . rick : ( sighs ) taylor : she wants to prove that i 'm unstable . rick : my god , what -- what is wrong with her ? taylor : i knew it . i knew it would come to this . rick : taylor , this is my fault . taylor : no . no . rick : no , it is . it is . listen to me . i love you . you know that , but if my involvement with you risks you losing jack in any way , then i - i do n't -- taylor : this is exactly what she wants . she wants one of us to crumble and then push each other away . rick : did she say that ? taylor : she said a lot of things , rick . rick : what do you want me to do ? taylor : i do n't know . i do n't know . you know , she donated the eggs , but the baby is not hers . i - i just ca n't even imagine that the judge would grant custody to her . rick : well , i could n't imagine that my mom actually wanted custody of jack , and look . taylor : no , it 's beyond that . she wants to prove that the child needs protection from me . rick : you know what i think ? you need protection from her . taylor : she wants to go in there and prove that the feelings that we have for each other are ugly and evil and wrong , and i 'm so tired of her ruining things for me . i 'm so tired of it . ( voice breaking ) i 've already lost so much to her . and i 'm done with it . no more !

[ scene_break ] liam : so , brooke took you back . bill : finally came to her senses . liam : you must have made a hell of an argument . bill : you looking for some pointers ? i know you were , uh , asking hope about wyatt when i came in . liam : yeah , i know , but they 're fine . bill : and ? thought there might be an issue . liam : no issue . it 's just hope was n't acting like herself . bill : huh . well , that -- that could be my fault . uh , brooke and i probably kept her up last night . liam : [ chuckles ] yeah , that 's probably it . bill : yeah , she was n't , you know , throwing confetti or streamers or anything , was she ? liam : that 's the thing you have to remember . hope has n't talked to brooke yet . but if brooke is happy , then hope will be , too . bill : oh , she 's -- she 's happy , all right . liam : all right , well , make sure she stays that way , and hope wo n't have a problem with you . bill : uh , i am not the one who broke her mother 's heart . hey , uh , you obviously did n't say anything about my uninvited guest , did you ? liam : what ? quinn ? god , no . bill : good . keep it that way . liam : but , dad , you did say that it was over . bill : it is . liam : what -- she was here . i mean , when brooke showed up the other day , quinn was here . she was in your room . bill : yeah , i , uh , i shoved her in the closet . liam : oh , dad ! bill : what do you mean , `` oh , dad `` ? liam : what are you doing ? ! bill : what do you think i was doing ? what was i supposed to do ? it was fine . it gave brooke and me a chance to -- to talk , and that 's a good thing . liam : with quinn in the room ! in the room , dad ! bill : okay ! well , she did n't come out of the closet ! she could 've ! she could 've blown the whole thing for me , but -- but she did n't ! so , i do n't know . maybe i 'm somewhat wrong about her . liam : no , you 're not . you 're not wrong about her . there 's a reason she kept quiet , and it 's not to help you . bill : nothing happened . liam : okay , fine . nothing happened ? then why -- why could n't you tell brooke about quinn ? bill : why would i do that ? ! liam : ridge lied to her , okay ? he told her that he wanted to spend his life with her , and then he took up with katie . it 's a little hard to trust after that , and if you 're keeping all this from her -- bill : totally different set of circumstances ! i came home , quinn was hiding in the room ! i did n't know she was there ! and listen , you know , it was n't like last time . nothing happened . it did n't go anywhere . liam : no , you 're missing the point . it does n't matter how far it went , because quinn has dirt on you now . and if she threatens to tell brooke , then you 're out of luck , man . bill : she 's not gon na tell -- she 's not gon na do it . she 's not -- she -- she wo n't do that . if she wanted to do that , she could have just walked right out of the closet and blown me out of the water , okay ? that did n't happen . now , will you just do me a favor ? quinn 's not the problem ! you 're -- you 're making a problem out of nothing ! brooke and i are happy . now , what i want from you is to just be happy for me . liam : [ sighs ] dad , all i 'm saying , you and brooke have a chance to get everything right . bill : all right . enough , liam . i 'm not worried about it , so why are you ? liam : yeah , well , if you and brooke are back together , quinn might have a little something to say about that . bill : quinn is not the one making a big deal out of this ! you are , and i want you to stop ! look , quinn went home last night . brooke left , quinn left , and we were on good terms . liam : okay . does quinn know you two are back together ? bill : not yet . liam : do me a favor . do n't be alone when you tell her . bill : i wo n't be . you 're gon na be here . liam : me ? bill : yeah . i 'm gon na call quinn right now , tell her to come over . liam : no , no , no , no . bill : and you 're gon na see once and for all we do n't have to worry about quinn fuller .

[ cell phone beeps ] quinn : hmm . wyatt : dad ? quinn : uh - huh . he 's waiting for me at liam 's . wyatt : why ? quinn : [ scoffs ] i do n't know . wyatt : well , maybe you did n't underestimate dad 's interest in brooke . maybe you underestimated his interest in you . quinn : well , that 's an interesting thought , but i think i 'll stick with `` do n't get your hopes up . `` wyatt : [ chuckles ] all right . quinn : bye . hope : hey . wyatt : hey . i was wondering when you 'd get here . hope : hi . wyatt : hi . hey , did you see my mom out there ? is she okay ? i could n't get a read on her . hope : your mom ? wyatt : yeah . you just -- you just passed her . hope : oh , i - i did n't -- i did n't see her . wyatt : is everything okay ? you seem like you 're somewhere else . hope : hmm . [ scene_break ] bill : i 'm telling you you 're wrong about this . liam : i hope i am . bill : listen , quinn knows how i feel about brooke , and she promised she would n't say anything . liam : [ laughs ] and you believed her . [ sighs ] bill : you 're forgetting something . she works for brooke 's son . she 's not gon na do anything to jeopardize her situation at forrester . liam : yeah , no , that -- that makes sense , except we 're talking about the woman who stabbed you in the neck with your own pendant , hacked my e - mail , sabotaged my wedding -- bill : okay , all right ! i hear you ! and i 'm not discounting anything that you 're saying ! sure if we hit the rewind button , she 'd do it all again . [ sighs ] but so far , she has n't done anything to blow my relationship with brooke . and i 'm ... grateful . liam : i ca n't wait to get this place back to myself . quinn : oh ! well , my curiosity got the best of me . hello , liam . i did n't know you 'd be here . liam : i live here . bill : uh , do me a favor , will you ? just , uh , give me a minute to talk to -- to quinn here . quinn : or we could just talk upstairs in your bedroom -- liam : i 'm gon na go . quinn : oh , is liam going out of town , hopefully ? bill : those are my bags . quinn : pretty big for the gym . bill : i wanted you to hear this from me . brooke and i got back together last night . quinn : brooke took you back . bill : i 'm moving in . quinn : last i heard , brooke said she needed more time . bill : gave her all the time i could . quinn : [ chuckles ] once you found out that she would be sharing the vice presidency with ridge . is that what brought this on ? bill : i 've wanted this for a long time , quinn . quinn : well , you did tell brooke that you would wait for it . bill : you know , i did n't ask you here for your opinion . i just wanted to let you know what 's going on . quinn : really ? is that all you wanted ? bill : that and to remind you what you said the other night . quinn : i said a lot of things the other night . bill : right . i 'm talking about our deal . that you would n't say anything to anyone about what happened between us . you have n't said anything to anyone , have you ? quinn : why would i ? liam : i 'm going to work . bill : i thought you said you were gon na hang out . liam : you need me to ? bill : no . liam : i 'll check up on you later . quinn : [ scoffs ] [ door opens ] quinn : did you think that i was gon na act like some sort of jilted lover ? [ chuckles ] please , bill . i 'm a mature , independent woman . i run my own company . i 've raised a son . okay , am i happy that you and brooke are getting back together ? no . because it 's been a long time since i 've had the kind of fun that we 've had lately . but i 'm not going to tell brooke . bill : thanks . quinn : really ? i think you can do better than that . i mean , i 'm doing a really big favor keeping your secret . hmm . i think there 's something that i want in return . two things , actually . bill : what ? quinn : first ... our last kiss . bill : permanently . quinn : mm - hmm . it 's just something you can add to the long list of things brooke never needs to know about if you grant me my second wish . bill : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] liam : where did i leave my keys ? ah . [ scene_break ] wyatt : look , okay , i have a great idea . let 's get out of here . hope : i just got in . wyatt : yeah , but i had a surprise for you for later , but it just kind of seems like you -- you could use one right now . hope : not -- not really , no . wyatt : it 's a good one . look , the rvs in the lot . it 's packed . it 's stocked . it 's ready to go . why do n't we just go ? let 's go somewhere . what do you say ? hope : hmm . you -- you want to leave right now ? wyatt : yeah . yeah . or whenever you want . i mean , if you need to clear you calendar or whatever , you can do that . uh ... look , you -- you 've been really stressed out lately , you know ? hope : yeah , i have been . wyatt : with everything that 's been going on , i mean , you 're -- you 're overwhelmed . hope : it 's definitely getting to me , yeah . wyatt : okay . well , this will be good for you . you can get away from work , a few days away from ridge , you know , all the craziness that happened yesterday . hope : hmm . it 's not just that . there 's something else . wyatt : what ? hope : um ... i -- okay . i do n't want you to misunderstand what i 'm saying , because ... i really like being with you , and i love how close we 've gotten . i really do . wyatt : right . hope : [ sighs ] you know , when i told you that i - i did n't want to move too fast , you know . i said that a lot . wyatt : yeah . hope : you -- you asked me to move in , and i said that i was n't ready . uh , i said that i was n't ready for a big commitment . wyatt : no , i know , and i - i understood that . hope : i just wanted to -- to take things slow . wyatt : right . hope : but now i 'm late . wyatt : late for what ? hope : i 'm late . wyatt : oh . hope : wyatt , i think i might be pregnant . | liam can tell that hope is distracted . but at least she did not say to get lost buddy . she says she would never call him buddy . he says that is hopeful . bill walks in and says hopeful is good . he will just grab a few things and be on his way . liam asks if he is moving back in with brooke as hope saw his car in the driveway last night . bill says yes and brooke is probably looking for donna and hope right now to tell them the news . katie was the first one she called to tell . they had let too much stuff get in their way , but he knows he does not have to tell liam and hope that . hope tells liam later that she meant what she said to his dad about someone being there for you ; it helps . bill tells liam that he knows they were talking about wyatt when he walked in . he hopes there is no problem there . liam says no ; it 's just that hope was n't much like herself . she has n't talked to brooke yet but if brooke is happy then hope will be happy . bill wants to make sure that he did not tell hope about his uninvited guest . liam says hell no , but he thought that was over . bill says it is now , but he had to shove her in the closet when brooke was here . quinn could have come out and blown the whole thing , but she did n't , so maybe he was wrong about her . liam says no , there was a reason she did not but it was n't to help bill . and it does n't matter that nothing happened this time . now quinn has dirt on bill . and if she threatens to tell brooke , bill is out of luck . |
brooke : you know ... lyly is a fascinating monster . ridge : and she 's back . tip - toeing around th until i bring it up . well , here it is . you 're welcome . brooke : [ chuckles ] al really think i 've been walking around pining away for your self - centered presence ? ridge : i do n't know what you 're doing , but i know you 're here because you hate being alone ! brooke : so naturally i would default to you . ridge : come on . can we stop ? you 're mad at the world . you 're mad at caroline , mad at me , and you feel disrespected because i 'm not fighting for you . but i ca n't . my heart is n't in it . let 's just let it go . brooke : wow . you know you wake up in theme sometimes you do n't know what you 're going to face th dani i could have you back , ridge . you back . just like that . ridge : [ laughs ] i got write some of this stuff brooke : you should . come on ! be serious . you 're not with caroline because you like her . you 're with her because you want to hurt rick for taking your position as c.e.o . maya : well , i can leave . i know you have those sketches you want to look at . rick : ridge fixed everything i asked him to fix . or at least he should have . maya : [ chuckles ] rick : i wish we were home . maya : well , i can stay . if i wo n't get in the way . nobody 's waiting on me . rick : why did you make me wait so long before turning up in my life ? maya : i guess it was n't the right time . rick : i guess not . [ up - tempo music plays ] [ music stops ] nicole : now what ? i was just getting into it . aly : you were , yeah . oliver : there 's actually a difference between dancing and modeling . nicole : okay , and the difference is ? oliver : well , the pictures are n't gon na turn out very well if you 're moving while i 'm taking them . nicole : oh , we 're not doing video ? oliver : no , not right now . nicole : so , you want me to dance slower ? oliver : [ sighs ] carter : hey , i heard the music way down in my office . i did n't know we had a ... oliver : nicole was learning how to , uh -- rick and maya asked us -- aly : told us . carter : no need to explain . it 's all clear to me . [ up - tempo music plays ] nicole : are these real pictures now ? are we live ? oliver : yeah . now , remember , the music is just to keep the energy up . nicole : you only think this is dancing because you have n't seen me dance . aly : well , at least she 's not shy . i was a lot worse . nicole : are these gon na be on posters or magazines ? oliver : these are just for practice . when rick sees them , who knows ? normally you 'd start as a fit model here in the building . nicole : that sounds boring . oliver : well , then maybe some online work . nicole : [ scoffs ] oliver : careful . aly : are you okay ? nicole : i think something might have ripped . oliver : why do n't we get changed into the next outfit ? nicole : okay . [ music continues ] aly : you know , she 's got a nice ... yeah , we have some work to do . carter : sure pays to have maya behind you these days . rick : you must be hungry . maya : oh , they have fruit and snacks downstairs for the models . rick : i did n't wake you up for breakfast because i thought you would be sleeping in . maya : me too , since no one needed me around here today . rick : i could have driven nicole in . maya : yeah , uh ... it 's just as well that i woke up . i can do my morning routines anytime . rick : such a good big sister . hey , let me call down there , see if she might need a cheering section . oliver . how 's it going ? [ laughs ] it 's true . the young lady does not lack for confidence . [ chuckles ] have you seen them ? no , she 's pretty , she 's fresh . she 's a different look than maya , but i think it 's gon na work . she 's gon na be great for the next season . let me ask you . what setup are you using ? oh , yeah , that backdrop is fantastic . definitely . well , hey , you know what you 're doing . no worries . no worries . they all ca n't be as gorgeous as maya . ridge : it seems to me we 've had this conversation already . decades ago , about another caroline spencer who was a lovely woman , but just not right for me . brooke : no , that caroline spencer was a lovely woman , and i do n't think you ever heard me say otherwise . but this caroline , her niece , she 's beautiful , but she lacks a conscience . ridge : ah . well , it was me that pushed for this relationship , so maybe it 's my conscience that 's all screwed up . brooke : you should have told me that 25 years ago . ridge : what does that mean ? your life would have been better without me in it ? brooke : no . no . i really do n't regret any of the time that we spent together . i think we 've had some great times . [ sighs ] i just wish that we -- we made better decisions as a couple . because then maybe now ... our family would be stronger . and i would n't feel so ... alone . oliver : here we go . nicole : i look like that ? aly : i know it 's kind of a shock seeing proofs for the first time -- nicole : i did great ! oliver : you did okay . nicole : i am so awesome . i am so dope . mwah ! thank you so much . your coaching was all i needed . thank you , aly , for being so nice . your boyfriend is really sweet , too . aly : yeah , that 's what people keep telling me . so , what 's the next step for these ? oliver : i guess we send her to the test carousel . it 's gon na be a little while . you want to grab a coffee ? aly : yeah . carter : you are going to get out of those clothes . nicole : not with you watching . carter : just remember they do n't belong to you . i 'm not a thief . carter : maybe not , but you sure are squeezing maya , are n't you ? rick : he did n't change the hem . maya : yeah , but i really like what he did on the neckline here . rick : yeah , but i asked him to move the hemline up . maya : well , you know how he is . he needs his little rebellions . rick : am i really supposed to let him challenge my authority ? maya : you know he loves to get to you . why do n't you just say something like , `` i see you feel strongly about this , so we 'll do a mockup and see how it looks `` ? [ buzzer ] rick : [ sighs ] yeah . it 's a press release . do i really have to double check it ? i 'm sorry . i am so sorry for the interruptions . maya : no , i 'm sorry if i overstepped . you should handle ridge and all things forrester as you see fit . rick : you never have to apologize to me . maya : i 'm sorry . rick : [ laughing ] do you hear me ? you do n't ever have to apologize . maya : okay , i 'm not sorry , i 'm not sorry . rick : i want to hear everything you have to offer -- your advice , your hopes , your fears . i do n't want you holding anything back . okay ? maya : i wo n't . maya : i never thought of our years together as any kind of failure . i 'm sad you see that . brooke : what 's important to you right now , ridge ? i mean , to me , it 's children and ... rick , especially at this moment . and i know that you think i am being overprotective of him , but i need to be there for him . i need to protect him . ridge : protect him from what ? from me ? for the record , i do n't think about rick unless he makes me . brooke : do you think about r.j. ? ridge : do i think about r.j. ? what does that mean ? brooke : i 'm gon na be honest with you . i do n't encourage r.j. to come home from school and visit the family because i do n't want him to lose respect for you . when are you going to introduce him to caroline ? you know what i think ? i do n't think you are . because you do n't take caroline seriously . you know what i see for the future ? you 'll be done with caroline . and you 'll move on with your life . ridge : you and me were almost children when we fell in love with each other , you know ? and we -- we share some of the most ... magical and fantastical moments . and we had the best of times and we had the worst of times over and over and over again . but in the end , we always found a way to forgive each other and move on . brooke : i suspect you 're going to need me pretty soon . you just do n't know it yet . what do you talk to caroline about ? music ? do you talk to her about your high school years ? life before smartphones ? maybe you discuss how many kids you want together . oh , no , that 's probably not true , because you already have two families . so have you approached her about not being able to have your children ? that 'll be pretty tough . maybe you already see things about her that you do n't really like -- her taste in art . maybe she 's greedy -- with your time . maybe she 's needy . you know , i think that you 're gon na come to that point where you realize that she 's too unschooled in the world for you , and out of the kindness of your heart , you 're just gon na have to let her go . of course , it 's gon na be a huge sacrifice for you . but in the long run , it 's gon na be much better for her . nicole : i am trying to get maya to treat me like family . that 's all . carter : to you , that means a mansion to live in and priority over models who actually know what they 're doing . nicole : she was trying to brush me off . like i was nothing to her . trying to get rick to throw me out ? carter : which has nothing to do with you threatening to ruin her life , right ? nicole : i have n't actually done anything to maya . some sisters , you see them walking arm - in - arm , sharing everything together , doing everything together , keeping no secrets , and all maya wants to do is get away from me . what did i do to deserve that ? carter : she 's scared . scared people do things that do n't make sense unless you 're scared , too . nicole : well , she says she 's not . she says that in time rick will understand . but ... she does n't act like she believes it . do you believe it ? maya : do you know when your mother 's birthday is ? well , i guess it does n't matter . do you know what sizes she wears ? rick : [ chuckles ] the last thing my mom needs is more clothes . she must have one of every forrester original ever made . why ? maya : i just wanted to do something nice for her . she was so beautiful with me today . so accepting . rick : she 's always gon na want what 's best for me . and by now she can tell that that 's you . maya : [ chuckles ] rick : what ? maya : i just ... i never thought i 'd be this happy . carter : i do n't know how rick will handle it . i know how i felt . nicole : and how did you feel ? carter : not good . not good at all , nicole . she lied to me , all right ? she 's lying to rick and he deserves to know . and i was about to tell him . i look maya in her eyes and -- [ sighs ] there 's information she did n't tell me when we were involved , and i do n't know . maybe there was a reason . maybe there 's a reason . maybe i -- maybe i did n't make things easy for her . you know , i knew she was on the rebound , i knew she felt bad about the way things went down with rick and i pushed . nicole : and you forgive her ? she was more wrong than you . like she was with me . i was little . i thought it was me . i thought that she wanted nothing to do with me . carter : sometimes when people are trying to survive , they -- they forget how to love others . would n't you agree ? ridge : well , i 'm sure you have other things you should be doing . brooke : i 'm back in the office full time . rick insisted . ridge : did he ? brooke : mm - hmm . so , when is caroline back ? ridge : [ sighs ] well , i 'm in touch with her . she sends her work via e - mail . brooke : gowns can be made out of chain mail , but not e - mail . ridge : what ? [ laughs ] brooke : so what 's keeping her in new york ? ridge : she 's gathering information from the fashion gurus . she is with her moms , you know ? danielle just published a book or she is publishing one . i do n't know . brooke : well , just say hi when you talk to her . ridge : yeah , i will do that . brooke : you know , i really think i would be good at running interference between you and rick . ridge : historically , that has n't been the case . brooke : okay . ridge : hey , brooke . i think you 're right with what you said about caroline . i do n't know her favorite band . and i 'm pretty sure she does n't know mine . and you 're right . we probably wo n't have kids together . but she knows who i am . right now . not 25 years ago . and that means an awful lot to me . and it seems we do our best work when people leave us alone . so maybe you could do that . for old time 's sake . maya : [ chuckles ] rick : what would you want most in the world right now ? maya : i have it . rick : that 's not fair . what if i wanted to give you something ? maya : you have already given me way too much . rick : i could say the same thing about you . maya : you know something that does make me happy , and i never thought that i would say this -- the fact that things seem to be getting easier between you and caroline . rick : they are . somewhat . maya : i know how much it hurt you when she cheated on you with ridge . rick : [ sighs ] yeah , there were times where i just could n't sleep . maya : i know . rick : i could n't eat , i could n't read a five - page report . i mean , is there some sort of magic formula to keep your head about you when your wife takes up with a man you 've despised ? maya : and i just wanted so badly to help you . rick : i know . i must seem pathetic . do n't feel sorry for me . i think that must have been how caroline must have justified things . her husband 's a wounded bird , so she could n't tell him everything . maya : well ... when i have a husband , whoever he is ... i will want him to know all of me . through and through . everything about me . rick : and he 'll know what a lucky man he is . i love you . maya : i love you , too . okay . let me get out of here so you can get some work done . rick : [ chuckles ] maya : because i do n't want my honey coming home too late . rick : you do n't have to . you looking for this ?

[ bell dings ] shirley : what 's with the look ? saul : what look ? i 'm not -- there 's no -- you got a look like you 're about to give me a lecture look . saul : i know that we have to use the forrester designs , but does sally really need to end things with thomas ? shirley : what ? of course she has to end things with thomas ! i mean , we ca n't go on taking their designs and she 's playing kissy - face with him . you kno -- let 's just back this up a notch or two . you do not want sally hanging around with thomas forrester any more than i do . saul : but what i want does n't matter , 'cause sally genuinely likes him . does she really need to get her heart broken in order for us to succeed ? darlita : oh , no . no , no , no , no ! coco ! no ! what are you doing ? ! do n't you let him sweet - talk you ... just 'cause he 's got that beautiful body . coco : hey , darlita . darlita : oh , hey , coco . coco ! what are you -- how are you -- i thought you were at forrester creations . coco : yeah . yeah . i was . i had a great day . darlita : yeah ? uh , anything exciting happen ? darlita : coco , you 're here . coco : yeah . darlita : okay . strange . uh , there must be some kind of tape delay happening . coco : what are you talking about ? darlita : uh , nothing . how 's rick ? coco : forrester ? darlita : yeah . you work with him a lot , right ? coco : yeah . i mean , i work with pretty much everyone over there . darlita : you know his wife is a model , right ? coco : yeah . yeah . maya . i work with her , too . although i 'm not so sure she trusts me . i 'm trying my best with her . i even loaned her my brooch today . darlita : wait . you loaned her your jewelry and then went right around and -- ohhh . you 've loaned her your jewelry . okay . mm - hmm . that makes sense . yeah . uh , rick 's wife . okay . yeah . that explains so much . coco : oh . okay . i - it does ? darlita : trust me . it does . saul : as much as i do not want to admit it , sally and thomas -- they have a certain chemistry . they are adorable . he seems to make her happy . shirley : for the moment . may even last a week or two if we let nature take its course . but we do n't have time . men will always let you down in the end . no offense , but it 's true . men come , and they go . and right now , it is time for thomas forrester to go ! sally : trust me . ending this is cleaner for both of us . it is better now than -- thomas : than -- than when ? who says this has to end ? sally : i am thankful for the time that we spent together . i have never met a man like you . but you need to go be with your son , with his mother . thomas : no , no , no . that 's -- that 's not -- i want to be with you . i ca n't believe you 're ending this because you found out that i have a son . what are n't you telling me ? coco : darlita , do n't take this the wrong way , but are you sure it 's only soda in here ? darlita : i 'm not drunk . believe me , you 'll know when i 've been drinking . coco : okay . okay . it 's just between that confusing phone call and -- and now , honestly , i really do n't know what you 're talking about with the brooch and rick and maya . darlita : well , i just think it 's interesting that you loaned it to maya . oh , no . coco : what ? darlita : you loaned it to maya . coco : yeah . is -- is n't that what we 've been talking about ? is that a problem ? no . no problem . coco : okay . darlita : no problem at all . rick : wow . maya : hmm ? rick : new brooch ? maya : oh ! you know , it 's coco 's , actually . she let me borrow it . rick : it 's beautiful . maya : yeah . i should probably find her and give it back to her . rick : yeah . tomorrow . maya : why ? rick : because ... we do n't have much time before lizzy 's back from day care . and i want to make the most out of this time right now . saul : why do you have to lump all men together ? i do n't let women down . i do n't come and go . shirley : obviously , i 'm not talking about you ! i 'm talking about a man who can sweep you off your feet ! saul : ohh ! shirley : sally needs to know what to focus on . she needs to learn what to trust . believe me -- in this world , there 's only one thing you can trust , and it ai n't men . it 's money .

[ both chuckle ] shirley : he 's moving them too fast . darlita : i 'll grab my phone . shirley : hurry ! saul : no , no , no , wait . i can screen - capture these . shirley : ooh . we have hit the mother lode . this is it . darlita : ooh ! those are stunning . shirley : i like them both . soon - to - be spectra originals . saul , you need to print them up , give a little tweak here , a little tweak there , and these forrester designs will be pure spectra . saul : but wait . no , no , no . what about sally ? shirley : what about her ? saul : she and thomas are -- shirley : she is breaking up with him as we speak . she will be just as excited about these designs as we are . at least she better be . sally : we would n't work out , thomas -- not in the long run . we are way too different i do n't fit in with your crowd . thomas : right . i do n't , either . sally : yeah , right . thomas : as a kid , i never fit in . it made me act out at times . and as an adult , it 's just overwhelming . i came back from new york to see my little sister appointed c.e.o . i was overlooked again . i was never even seriously considered once . so , that old sinking feeling in my gut came creeping back in . where do i fit in ? where do i fit in my family , my company ? and just as all that anger was starting to consume me , i meet you . and , suddenly , all that bitterness starts to melt away , and i 'm not as frustrated that steffy 's been c.e.o . or that granddad and dad just look at me as another cog in the wheel . why should i worry about any of that when you bring me so much happiness ? sally : i do that for you ? [ sighs ] look , thomas , okay ? i fell for you . i fell for you hard , which is why this is not easy for me . we had a good run . but it is reality - check time . you need to go to your son , to his mother . go to where people pretend to like caviar , because i like pigs in a blanket , thank you very much . thomas : then like what you like . i do n't want you to do anything different . i do n't want you to like anything different . i just want you to be you -- crazy , outrageous , beautiful you . sally , my son is my son , and i will always love him . but you ca n't let him get in the way of this . we have something so special . i ca n't let it end . reviving spectra is her dream . saul : but steal shirley : ohh ! this is it , saul . keeps the company afloat . saul : if sally goes along with it . shirley : oh , she will . reviving spectra is her dream . saul : but stealing -- it 's not her way . shirley : it 's not my way , either . it 's not ! it 's business . [ sighs ] sally took a stab at legitimate design , but it was a flop , thanks to that jarrett maxwell . [ sighs ] but you know what ? she tried . and now ... we 're just gon na have to go back and do things the old - fashioned way , the way we used to do them at spectra -- a little dirty and a little underhanded . but we will bring spectra back to the top . [ sighs ] we 'll get these designs , with a little tweak . [ sighs ] the designs , the runway show , and voilà -- we are back on top . success . saul : let 's just hope that sally 's on board , because this whole situation with thomas -- shirley : sally will commit . she 'll put this silly relationship with thomas forrester in the past . saul : break her heart , you mean . sally : if i knew how to do this , i would . thomas : do what ? be with me ? sally : be with you ... while ... being at spectra . thomas : do you really think that i 'm that shallow , that i 'm concerned about your last name being spectra or that i think i should be with caroline because her last name is spencer ? sally : i think if we pursue this , you 're gon na end up regretting it , that you will wonder why you took a chance on me when you could have the safety of a classy , sophisticated socialite waiting for you in new york . thomas : but i want to take that chance . sally : i came to los angeles with my grandmother to do a job -- to get spectra fashions back on its feet , and what have i been doing ? wasting my time daydreaming about you and kissing you . my god . i even went all the way to australia . really ? what was i thinking , chasing you like that ? thomas : you were having fun . you were living a dream that is worth living . sally : no . wrapped up in your life and your world , thinking that i could be a part of it . thomas : you are a part of it . sally : no . i am sally spectra , the one who fights and scrounges , who will risk everything just for a glimmer of what you forresters naturally are born with . do you really think i could be a part of your world ? the luxury , the private jets , and the mansions , a child in new york city , a high - paying fashion job in los angeles , rich and powerful friends in every single country -- that is not me . thomas : it could be . sally : yeah , someday , perhaps , if i make it happen . not because i 'm latched on to you . i will not be dependent on a man . thomas : do n't be dependent on me ? can you just trust me , please , that i - i want the best for you ? trust me . sally : trust ? really ? trust , thomas ? who can you trust in this world ? look , okay ? i really wish things could be different . but i promised my grandmother that i would stay focused . thomas : so focus . i completely support you in that , and i promise , sally , i wo n't invite you to any more events for the next two , three months , max . that 's all i can take . sally , you do n't have to cut me out in order to succeed at spectra . you can do both . sally : what is wrong with you ? do you have wax in your ears ? have you never been rejected before ? look , i know there 's a first time for everything . it stings . but you will get over it , okay ? just go . go live your life . thomas : you do n't mean that . sally : yes . yes , i do , thomas , okay ? there is no future here . come on . why the face ? really ? go . go , okay ? go hit the gym . you probably lost part of your 8-pack sitting in this italian joint , soaking up all of the carbs anyway . i do n't want you anymore . okay ? it was fun while it lasted , but it was what it was , but that 's all that it will ever be . just go , okay ? go and live your fancy life . bye . thomas : i do n't believe you . sally : goodbye , thomas . ciao . sayonara . i do n't -- i do n't -- is there any other way i can say it ? i do n't know . sally : goodbye . [ crying ] | thomas convinces sally to sit back down and they will discuss this . he tells her that she is so important to him but there is some reason she wants to run away from him and he does not get it . he wants to know what she is not telling him . shirley laments to saul that he has that going to give a lecture look . she knows he does not want sally hanging around with thomas any more than she does . he just does not want her to get her heart broken . darlita is shocked when coco comes in and darlita is looking at who she thinks is her on the laptop at fc . she is finally straightened out by a confused coco that she loaned the brooch to maya . shirley tells saul that she is not talking about him but thomas . there is one thing you can trust more than the wind and that is money . sally asks thomas if he has ever been rejected before . she does n't think he should be hitting on other women . he should go back and hit on caroline , the mother of his son . he says he did . he went out there and it was impossible and then he met sally and all that confusion turned into laughter . when they are through with their hanky panky in the office , rick shows maya the newest ridge designs and shirley and saul capture it all . she knows they can tweak them here and there and they will be pure spectra . and sally is breaking up with thomas right now and she will be just as thrilled with these designs . |
