Monday, June 01

Owen secretly sticks it to Nick, Eric and Stephanie argue, and Bill gets the goods on Eric.


Stephanie comes to see Bill who tells her she can’t save Eric because he doesn’t need her anymore so the game is over. Stephanie thinks he is headed down a dangerous path, but Bill is having too much fun. He tells Stephanie he thinks Eric hired undocumented workers, but Stephanie insists it’s not the truth. Bill is determined to find evidence, but Stephanie tells him he won’t find anything and will be sued for slander if he pursues this. Bill is amused that she is threatening him when Eric is the one illegally hiring employees. Bill assures her he will find the dirt and will own Forrester Creations, it’s just a matter if he sends Eric to jail or not. Stephanie tells him not to get ahead of himself and calls him ‘Junior’ before leaving.


Eric thinks things will improve now that Stephanie has called off the dogs, but Donna doesn’t think he should get complacent because Bill gets what he wants. Eric assures Donna Bill won't get anything of his.


Nick and Jackie argue about Owen when said topic of conversation walks in the office for a meeting. Nick, Owen and Jackie discuss Jackie M business and Jackie gets called away. Nick thinks Jackie will soon see through Owen’s shiny act and tells him he will never be anything but Jackie’s boy toy. Jackie returns as the men argue and tells her son to stop it. She again tells Nick Owen makes her happy and Nick warns Owen to make sure he does his job there. Owen knows where he stands: Jackie is in charge.


Nick leaves and Owen locks the door. Owen says if Jackie wants him to leave then he will, as he clears off Nick’s desk and starts to take off his clothes. He asks if Jackie wants him to leave and she says absolutely not. Owen sits her down on Nick’s desk as he kisses her and they fall back on it.


Jarrett enters Bill’s office who notes Jarrett is a trusted Forrester press contact. Bill asks if there are any transgressions Eric has been involved in regarding his employees. Jarrett says no, but Bill continues to question him and then instructs Jarrett to find proof that Eric hasn’t always been on the up and up.


Stephanie meets with Eric and tells him she won’t continue with the Logan Chronicles, however, they have a problem with Bill Spencer. She explains that Bill believes FC hired undocumented workers. She explains why Bill thinks this and Eric says they've been investigated before, but they are protected. Eric can't believe Stephanie got involved with Bill and they argue. Stephanie admits she was going to buy FC from Bill and Eric gets furious. She explains she was doing it for their kids and again asks if there is anything Bill can dig up on them. Eric says their bases are covered and everything is fine.


Jarrett is uncomfortable digging up dirt on Eric, but he used his resources and found a database on FC employee records. Bill wants him to verify citizenship and Jarrett says they are looking for a needle in a haystack. Bill thinks if they find it, it will be worth it. Bill searches a random current employee’s name and discovers that person died years ago in a car accident. Bill says, “Eric Forrester. You sneaky little devil,” as he realizes Eric gives his illegal employees dead people’s names. Bill says, “I’ve got him! Either he sells me Forrester Creations on my terms or he goes to prison for a long, long time.”


As Stephanie and Eric continue to fight about her blogs and articles, Bill calls and tells Stephanie he was right and Eric better be prepared to deal with him on his terms. He adds, “You are no match for me.”

Tuesday, June 02

Nick worries about Jackie, Owen expresses his desire to Jackie, and Bill makes Eric and Donna new offers.


Stephanie tells Eric that Bill knows their secret about hiring undocumented workers and is coming to see him. Eric thinks it could be a bluff and they have to get Bill to show his cards. Eric and Stephanie recall the past and Eric says he just wanted to help his employees get a leg up. Stephanie says she couldn’t say no to him even though she knew it was wrong. Donna comes in and demands to know what Stephanie is doing there. Eric explains the situation and says he may go to jail because Bill Spencer may know what he’s done because of what Stephanie said. Donna explodes at Stephanie.

Jarrett is stunned that Eric would hire illegal workers and Bill says he has hit the mother load and will cash in big time. Bill instructs Jarrett to keep digging. Jarrett thinks Bill just wants FC for himself. Bill says that’s his goal, but he also has something else in mind and looks at a magazine cover of Donna.


Nick asks Bridget if she thinks Owen is a conman. Bridget thinks he is being too harsh on Owen and reminds him they owe him because of what happened at the beach house. Nick says he’ll let him live, maybe, and kisses her. Nick thinks Owen has Jackie right where he wants her, but he thinks Jackie will eventually want something real and will realize Owen can’t give her that.


Owen worries about Nick’s reaction to them being together and Jackie says other people will probably react the same way when they find out. She reminds him he wants a family and children and since she can’t give him that, there are certain realities they have to face. Owen doesn’t care that they are in different stages in their lives and believes it only matters that they make each other happy. Owen says they can adopt when they decide the time is right and Jackie can’t believe he is suggesting that. Owen says he will do whatever it takes to make a life with her. Jackie is leery of the idea and Owen says they don’t need to adopt now, he’s just trying to find ways that they can stay together. He thinks they are on a great ride and she makes him feel alive. Any guy would be nuts not to see her for what she is. She is the best thing that has ever come into his life and he wants more of her and he hopes she wants the same thing too. Jackie hugs Owen and calls him sweet and magnificent because no man has ever said anything so touching to her in her whole life. She tells him she was very lonely, not long ago, but he has changed everything. She isn’t lonely or sad anymore and she is very happy because of him. She wonders how she could not want more and passionately kisses him.


Bill comes to Eric’s office and Eric tells him he won’t sell his company. Bill tells Eric, Donna and Stephanie he has proof of what Eric did and how he did it. He says he has enough ammo to send him away for a very long time and says either Eric sells FC under his terms or he goes to the slammer. Eric calls it extortion, but Bill likes to think of it as playing hardball and offers the lower price of sixty million dollars. Eric says FC is not for sale because it is a family business. Bill says it would have stayed that way had Stephanie not gone soft on him. Stephanie says it will stay a family company and Eric will be in charge and she will make sure of it. Bill calls FC a rare jewel that has coveted it for years. He doesn't think they want to fight him on this and Eric calls him cruel, but Bill just thinks he’s a businessman who doesn’t get cluttered up by emotions. Bill wonders why Stephanie is so devoted to Eric all of a sudden. Stephanie says it’s one thing to vent but another to send someone to jail. She calls Eric a decent and good man, something Bill wouldn't know anything about. Bill suggests Eric and Stephanie talk about the issue alone and he and Donna leave. Eric tells Stephanie it is his responsibility and Bill is holding a gun to his head.

Bill tells Donna that if she spends one night with him, he will leave Eric alone. Donna thinks he is disgusting. Bill is just intrigued by her and why she would be with Eric. He thinks she is different and wishes she weren’t married because then he would romance the pants off her. There are few people he desires to spend time with and she’s one of them. He wants to give her the most incredible evening of her life and in turn she will be giving her husband the chance to hold on to everything he holds dear.

Wednesday, June 03

Donna agrees to Bill’s terms, Jackie and Owen make a decision and Nick barges in on his mother with Mr. Six Pack.


Donna wonders what’s in it for Bill if she sleeps with him. He responds it will be a night he will never forget, but she thinks it’s just a power play and tells him there will be no romantic evening with her. Bill hopes Eric is prepared to sell to him then. He tells her to enjoy her evening with her Honey Bear because there won’t be many more.


Nick and Bridget make out in his office and she finds doodles of Owen on his desk. Nick admits Owen is really bugging him, but he will feel better after he kills him. Nick can’t work so he decides to go to Jackie’s to make sure ‘Mr. Six Pack’ isn’t there.


At Jackie’s place, Owen and Jackie kiss and canoodle and then take a roll in the hay. Owen says he won’t give her up for anyone and they laugh about taking advantage of Nick's desk earlier. Owen wants Nick to realize how serious they are and suggests the two of them move in together. Jackie laughs, but Owen is serious and asks her to move to the beach house. Jackie suggests he move in with her instead and Owen agrees.


Bill and Donna come back to Eric’s office, who tells Bill he can’t have his company. Bill threatens to expose his hiring of illegal employees, but Stephanie is confident they can spin it. Donna panics, looks at Bill and says she just needs ‘one night’ and she can help Eric through this. Bill says, “One night. You’ve got yourself a deal.”


Alone with Donna, Eric wonders what one night will change. Donna wants the chance to give him some input on the situation and Eric assumes she’ll urge him to sell. She cries and tells him she doesn’t want to lose him and urges him to not let Bill send him to jail.


Donna comes to Bill’s room and he asks her not to be nervous. She sees candles lit and champagne chilling and notes he’s gone all out. Bill promised her a night to remember and pours her a glass, which she doesn’t drink. Donna doesn’t want to be there and Bill apologizes but tells her Eric is a stuttering old man who will grow tired of her honey and lingerie and will always go back to his family, memories and Stephanie. He thinks Donna came there not to sleep with him, but to talk him out of hurting Eric. He implores her to let him give her a great night.


Stephanie comes back to see Eric who tells her this situation has made him realize what is really important in life, which is family and memories. Stephanie asks him to be realistic, but Eric won’t sell FC.

Nick uses his key to barge into Jackie’s place and yells at Owen for him to get dressed and get out! Jackie asks Owen to leave so she can talk to Nick. After Owen exits, she tells Nick that Owen is moving in and Nick is furious. He tells her this won’t last and she will get hurt. Jackie knows what she’s doing and understands the risks, but she intends to enjoy every moment of it. She needs Nick to accept this because she now has companionship and feels alive. Jackie begs Nick not to make her choose and Nick walks out, as Owen emerges from upstairs looking pensive.

Thursday, June 04

Donna remains faithful to Eric, Felicia and Thorne urge Eric to sell to Bill, Bill plans his next issue of Eye on Fashion and Owen moves into Jackie’s place.


Donna tells Bill she loves Eric, but Bill doesn’t think it’s sustainable. However, he lets her know he would never tire of her drizzling honey all over him. Donna declares he will not replace her Honey Bear and she doesn’t believe he would actually make her spend the night with him. Bill calls this an opportunity and what she does with it is up to her. Bill is intrigued by her and whatever time she chooses to spend with him, he promises to make it special. Donna doesn’t think anyone would give up a multi-million dollar deal just to get her to take off her clothes. Bill wants to know how she ticks and says her devotion interests him. He wants to know what it does when faced with a scenario like this, with a man like him. He again tells her if she sleeps with him, Eric will be safe. Donna says she lost the trust of her husband once and nothing would make her do that again. Donna hopes he will realize what he is planning to do is beneath him. Bill doesn’t have any real desire to send Eric to jail and suggests she tell him to accept this final offer. Bill gives her papers he’s drawn up with an offer of fifty million dollars and tells her to make sure they are signed by tomorrow morning.


Owen moves his stuff into Jackie’s place and makes her dinner. He tells her he likes to do things for her and knowing what she needs. Jackie thinks they both want to be happy and she will get Nick to accept them as a couple. She doesn’t need a man to run her life or to be someone’s trophy wife. She wonders why she can’t have a trophy of her own, which Owen doesn’t get offended by and admits he likes her money.


Stephanie and Eric fill Thorne and Felicia in on their hiring of undocumented workers and that Bill is threatening to send Eric to jail. Felicia doesn’t think his heart would survive jail and urges him to sell the company. Eric says if they want to sell Forrester after he’s gone he can’t stop them, but while there’s still a breath left in him, he won’t have it.

Eric talks to one of his illegal employees and tells him they’ve been exposed, but no one will know his real name. Eric gives him severance pay and the man reluctantly takes it.


Jarrett comes to Bill’s room and Bill asks for the photo. Jarrett gives him the cover shot of the next issue of Eye on Fashion with Eric’s face behind bars.

Eric shreds some papers and Felicia and Thorne attack their mother for airing the family’s dirty laundry in front of the world on her blogs. Eric defends Stephanie saying he never should have fired her and Stephanie accepts responsibility for her anger that she’s never gotten control over. She thinks she’s never felt lovable so she became unlovable. Eric tells her it’s not true because he loves her and the children love her.

Donna walks in the office as Thorne and Felicia urge Eric to sell the company. Donna agrees with them telling Eric Bill isn’t bluffing about sending him to jail. She gives him the contract and Eric is outraged by the offer. Eric won’t let Bill ruin him and take away his life’s work.

After Owen cleans up, he and Jackie talk about his enjoyment of her money and how Nick worries about him using her. Owen tells her she needs to decide if she is happy and as long as she doesn’t give him any blank checks they will be fine. He also jokingly tells her he doesn’t do credit cards and they kiss.

Donna calls Bill to tell him Eric won’t sign. She explains this is about Eric’s commitment to his employees and children. She suggests he go after Jackie M instead and asks him to prove he is the man she wants to believe he is.


After he hangs up with Donna, Bill tells Jarrett to run the cover of Eric behind bars and Jarrett balks. Bill demands, “Run it!”

Friday, June 05

The Forresters get the upper hand, Rick and Steffy reconcile and Eric thanks Stephanie for what she’s done.


Rick tells Brooke therapy is going well and says he is in love with Steffy and wants her back. He’s working hard on getting rid of his anger towards Ridge and doesn’t want to be that person anymore. Brooke is disdainful, but Rick thinks he can make Ridge see he is changing. He needs Brooke’s support and asks if he can count on her. Brooke assures him he always can.


Eric calls a meeting with Thorne, Felicia, Donna and Stephanie and Bill joins them. He looks Felicia up and down and she calls him a rat. Eric tells Bill he won’t sell FC and Bill wonders if he would prefer to spend the rest of his life behind bars. Bill shows him the cover he has planned for Eye on Fashion and threatens to run it, but Eric holds firm. Felicia and Thorne urge Eric to sell, but he won’t cave to extortion. Bill thinks he will and hands him the contract, which Eric rips up. As Bill starts to call his printer to go to press, Stephanie calls in the attorneys and tells Bill she taped the whole conversation for them. She looks at Bill and says, “You didn’t think you were smarter than me?” Gloria tells Bill if he goes through with his plan, they will expose him. Bill doesn’t think that will keep Eric from going to prison, but Stephanie assures him it will put him in a cell right next to him. Bill doesn’t understand why Stephanie still defends Eric and Stephanie says they get through family squabbles because they are just that - family. Before he leaves, Bill lets them know he is just getting started. After Bill exits, the family celebrates and Donna watches as Eric, Thorne, Felicia and Stephanie all embrace.


Donna goes to the elevator and tells Bill the good guys won. Bill assures her he isn’t giving up on Forrester or her and says, “You know where to find me.”


Steffy sits at a table at Il Giardino and wonders what she’s doing there. She starts to get up to leave, but then Rick comes in and she stops. He says he’s been trying to stay away from her, but he misses her and wants a second chance. He assures her it has nothing to do with her father, but with how much he appreciates and respects her. He just wants a chance to prove it to her if that’s what she wants. He asks if she does and she responds, “I think you know the answer to that.” Rick tells Steffy Brooke is on their side and suggests they tell Ridge. Steffy doesn't think he will be ready for this, but Rick says they have to be upfront with him to prove he is different.

Ridge and Brooke make out at home and Brooke suggests they go to the desert for a second honeymoon. Ridge takes that opportunity to tell her they aren’t legally married. Brooke is shocked and learns Ridge knew about it for a while. He thinks it’s a chance for them to redo their wedding again and says they are in it for the long haul. They kiss and Ridge is happy to be in her arms and to not be worrying about Rick and Steffy because it is completely over.


As Ridge feels confident and happy with Brooke, Rick and Steffy walk in the house. Ridge wants to know what Rick is up to now and Rick genuinely tells him he wants to get back together with Steffy. Ridge demands that won’t happen and Steffy pleads their case. Rick tells Ridge he is changing and he wants a chance to prove it. Ridge says the discussion is over and Rick asks Brooke if she has anything to say. Ridge urges her to side with him, but Brooke understands both sides. Ridge tells her he needs to hear her say she forbids it and demands that she tell the kids that.


Eric thanks Stephanie for what she’s done and calls her complicated and fascinating. Stephanie retorts that he is still a philanderer and a louse and Eric says he still loves her too. He kisses her and says, “Come back to me.”


Jarrett meets Bill outside of FC and Bill fills him in on what happened. Bill assures Jarrett he may have lost the battle, but he will win the war because FC will be his.

Monday, June 08

Ridge walks out on Brooke, but Taylor is there to console him, as Stephanie turns down Eric’s offer.


Ridge urges her to, but Brooke can’t stand in the way of Rick and Steffy’s relationship. Brooke understands how he feels, but she says they are adults and they will do what they want to do. She’s sorry if he doesn’t understand, but she can’t stand in their way any longer. Steffy appeals to her father to accept her and Rick, but Ridge doesn’t know how she can ask him that. He then lashes out at Brooke for not supporting him and asks Rick and Steffy to leave because he can't stand to look at them.


Brooke tries to console Ridge, but he never thought she would betray him. He calls Rick a threat to Steffy, but Brooke defends him. Ridge can't take this anymore, but Brooke thinks they can get through this together. Ridge says they aren’t together. He loves her and will always love her, but he will not tolerate this. He calls Rick a threat to his sanity, but he doesn't think she cares about that at all. Ridge declares he’s done and leaves, as Brooke cries calling out after him.


Thomas and Taylor go to Phoebe’s grave and wish Ridge would come back to the family. Thomas doesn’t know how Ridge can deal with Rick because he is the reason Phoebe died.


Eric asks Stephanie to come back to Forrester and he will give her an office because he misses her. Stephanie just thinks he misses what she can do for the company and he says firing her was a mistake. Eric wants to rectify it, but Stephanie won’t work with the Logans. He says she belongs there, but Stephanie retorts that he made his choice in his young trophy wife and it has his consequences. They rehash recent events and Stephanie calls them even. Eric thinks he still owes her and tells her there’s a place at Forrester for her. She won’t work with Donna and watch her outrageous behavior. She tells him to step back and look at how his and Donna’s sexual behavior at the office affects their children, employees and his reputation. She doesn’t want to be a part of that because she deserves better. Donna comes in and Eric asks for another moment alone. Stephanie tells her to come on in because they are finished.


Taylor sits alone looking at Phoebe’s grave and Ridge walks up. Ridge tells her about Rick and Steffy and how Brooke is supporting them. He tells her he’s done and that he’s left Brooke. Taylor sides with Ridge and he is relieved to have someone on his side. He sits by Phoebe’s grave and tells his daughter he wants her back. He worries about Steffy with Rick and can’t believe Brooke won’t do anything to stop it. Taylor goes to her purse and pulls out some anxiety pills to give to Ridge. Taylor wants to take him home, but Ridge doesn't want to see anyone at the house. She offers to take him away and assures him she is there for him.

Taylor drives Ridge to Big Bear because she thinks no one will find him there. She promises they will deal with this and that she will take care of him.

Once at the cabin, Ridge’s mind still races as he wonders if he is overreacting. Taylor insists he isn’t and blames Brooke for not putting her foot down regarding the relationship. Ridge bemoans Brooke’s support of their kids’ union and Taylor wonders where her compassion is for him. Taylor doesn't think he has gone through the grieving process because he doesn't have someone to support him through it. Ridge knows she understands and Taylor says she does more than anybody and asks if she can help him heal.


Brooke calls Ridge, but the doesn’t see his phone lighting up. Taylor sees that Brooke is calling Ridge’s phone, but thinks she has done enough damage already and ignores the call. Taylor tells Ridge she is there for him always.

Tuesday, June 09

Brooke and Stephanie argue, Ridge appreciates being with Taylor, and Steffy and Rick worry about their parents.


Ridge feels like he’s lost both his daughters, but Taylor believes they will get through to Steffy and promises to help him get over this. Ridge can’t believe Brooke couldn’t be there for him when he really needed her and feels like she betrayed him. Ridge needed to be close to someone who loved him unconditionally and thanks Taylor for bringing him to the cabin because it was just what he needed.


Rick and Steffy come in to see Brooke who can’t get through to Ridge on the phone. Rick thinks Ridge just needs some time to cool off, but Brooke worries Stephanie will find out and exploit the situation.


Stephanie tells Pam that Eric asked her back to FC, but she turned him down. Pam thinks the Logan family will get what’s coming to them and Stephanie hopes Ridge walks away from Brooke and goes to Taylor because she understands what he needs.


Steffy and Rick both worry about their parents and that they’ve made things worse than before. Rick wants to fix the situation, but Steffy thinks he should stay out of it. Rick thinks he needs to make it right because both Brooke and Steffy love Ridge. Rick also points out that Stephanie is a problem area and could really make a mess of things.

Pam goes back to her desk as Stephanie talks to Taylor on the phone. Taylor fills her friend in on recent events. Stephanie is glad Taylor is with Ridge and Taylor hangs up when Ridge returns to the room.


Brooke comes to Eric’s office to talk to him about Ridge, but finds Stephanie instead. Brooke makes digs about Stephanie’s blogs and her knowing about the invalid marriage. Stephanie knows Rick is causing problems in her marriage and says Ridge is probably relieved he isn’t legally married to her. Brooke doesn't think their invalid marriage means they don’t have a future together, but Stephanie thinks the fact that she sides with Rick will take care of that.

Steffy calls Taylor who doesn’t understand how her daughter can get back together with Rick. Steffy tries to explain, but Taylor begs Steffy to end it with Rick because it is killing Ridge.


Ridge takes the pills out of Taylor’s purse and swallows a couple more before Taylor returns to the room. Taylor suggests they stay at the cabin for a couple of days or until he feels better. Ridge already is feeling better because the weight on his chest is gone and he feels like he can see the light. Taylor tells Ridge Steffy called and is very worried about him. He thinks if Brooke stood up to Rick when he asked her to all of this could have been avoided. He needed her to tell Rick she supported her husband instead of her son, but she couldn’t say it. As much as he loves her, there’s a part of him that is relieved their marriage isn’t legal. Taylor can’t believe he really means it, but Ridge says, “Maybe I do.”


Steffy tells Rick she hoped things would be different because he is now. Rick tells her they won’t give up and they will make believers out of their parents.

Ridge calls Stephanie and tells her where he is and that he needs some time by himself. He tells her to let Brooke know she can call if she wants, but not right now because he is too upset with her. After Stephanie hangs up, Brooke demands to know where Ridge is, but Stephanie advises her to let him be.


Ridge tells Taylor the ball is in Brooke’s court and Taylor hopes she gives him some breathing room. Ridge is going to put the whole mess out of his mind and is grateful to be away from all of that. He trusts Doc and says it’s easy when he’s with her. All the angst is gone and she understands him, but why is he just now realizing this? He thinks maybe he couldn’t admit it because of what it would mean to his marriage with Brooke. He says there has been one problem after another and he’s worn out. He doesn’t want to think about it and wants to feel some peace and calm and live in the moment, this moment with her. Ridge takes her hand and kisses it and then leans in for a kiss on her cheek and then her lips.

Wednesday, June 10

The Logan sisters gather round, Steffy defends her choice to Thomas and Ridge makes a decision.


Rick tells Steffy he doesn’t think Ridge will leave Brooke and that they can work it out. Steffy doesn’t think they should have told them they got back together, but he counters there should be no secrets. He kisses her and Thomas walks in, grabs Rick and yells, “Get your hands off her!” Steffy defends Rick, telling Thomas they got back together. Rick says he should give them a chance because he gave him one. Thomas is outraged, but Steffy says it’s her life and she wants to spend it with Rick. Steffy thinks Thomas should stop fighting them because their parents need them and she loves and needs him as her big brother. She’s going to be with Rick and it doesn’t have to be a problem if he doesn’t make it one.


Brooke comes home and finds Donna and Katie waiting for her. She fills them in on Steffy and Rick and how Ridge reacted to her backing their relationship. She also tells them that their marriage isn’t legal and that Stephanie told her Ridge was testing her to see if he should remarry her. Donna and Katie don’t think she should listen to anything Stephanie says. Brooke notes Stephanie wants Ridge with Taylor, but Katie doesn’t think Ridge will let Stephanie manipulate him after everything they’ve been through.


After they kiss, Taylor stops Ridge from going any further and wonders if this is really what he wants. She points out he’s not acting like himself, but he says this is the most he’s felt like himself in a long time and credits it to her. Taylor reminds him he was in crisis earlier today, but Ridge says she saved him like an angel with her support. Ridge notes Brooke hasn’t even tried to find him or call, but Taylor informs him that Brooke did call, but she turned off the sound. Taylor goes to get him some tea and Ridge picks up his phone and looks at a photo of his daughters, recalling Phoebe’s accident. He puts the phone down and takes more pills. Taylor returns and Ridge tells her he didn’t call Brooke because he was thinking about how Rick took Phoebe away from them and now he’s doing the same with Steffy. He wonders how Brooke can support that. Taylor notes how relaxed Ridge is and Ridge looks at her through hazy eyes recalling their past. Ridge doesn’t think it seems impossible to get Rick out of their lives with her by his side.


Ridge’s phone rings and he answers to Brooke. She wants to make sure he’s okay and they can talk about everything later. Ridge says they can talk tomorrow, but Brooke wants to clear the misunderstanding up sooner. Ridge thinks it’s more than a misunderstanding and they argue about their kids’ relationship again. Ridge hangs up on her mid-sentence because she won’t forbid Rick from seeing Steffy. Ridge tells Taylor Brooke will never understand.


Brooke tells her sisters Ridge sounded very detached and hung up on her. They try to reassure Brooke that she just needs to give Ridge some time and he will come back to her apologizing up the wahzoo! Brooke appreciates her sisters and says Stephanie is right about one thing, the Logan girls know how to stick together. She thinks she can get through to Ridge, then they can remarry and get on with their lives.


Ridge tells Taylor his relationship with Brooke is not working because he can never trust Rick. He takes in the night air and says he doesn’t want to go back to all the drama and angst; he just wants to feel like this. He doesn't know if he can go back to the house to find Rick making another pitch for their daughter. He knows Brooke doesn’t want to hurt him, but she can’t understand. He can’t go back there and tells Taylor he has no other choice, but to move out of Brooke’s house.

Thursday, June 11

Bridget distracts Nick, Owen hears something interesting, Taylor is hopeful and Brooke insists Ridge not leave her.


Ridge comes home to Brooke who has been waiting for him. He hugs her and tells her a night in Big Bear was just what he needed and adds that he was with Taylor. Ridge says he will always hate Rick for killing Phoebe and he can’t live with him hanging around their home. Ridge accuses Brooke of choosing Rick over him again, but she says she wanted to support both of them. He tells her he bottomed out at Phoebe’s grave and Taylor took care of him because she knew what he needed. He felt joy for the first time in a long time at the cabin and isn’t sure if it was Taylor or not, but he realized he couldn’t go on this way. Brooke wishes he could forgive Rick, but Ridge makes it clear he can’t. Ridge feels like the walls are closing in on him now that he’s back and tells her he hasn’t received support from her regarding Phoebe. He needs Brooke to take a stand against Rick and Steffy or else he will lose another daughter. Brooke can’t change that Rick is her son, so Ridge tells her he’s moving out. Brooke is shocked and says they can fix things, but Ridge is haunted by Rick and the night Phoebe died. She thinks she can help him get over it, but Ridge tells her she can’t help him and Rick at the same time. He would go to the ends of the earth to preserve what they have because he loves her so much, but he's dying with her because of Rick, who is poison to him. He felt good in Big Bear and needs more of that. Brooke is hurt he was that happy because he was away from her and Rick. He can’t separate her from her son any longer because she can’t separate herself from Rick and he says he has to get away from both of them. Brooke thinks they can get through this and says his hatred will eat him up whether they are together or not. She wants to lead him to the other side so he can find laughter, love and life again. She asks him not to take his anger and walk out that door. She won’t let him go and declares they will stay together.


At Il Giardino, Taylor tells Stephanie how great it was to see Ridge laugh and just talk to him. She noticed a peace to him that made her want to cry and tells Stephanie he is leaving Brooke. Taylor thinks she saw Ridge have this huge epiphany and for the first time in years, she has hope. She saw in his eyes that he doesn’t have to have Brooke in his life to be happy. Taylor tells Stephanie she felt the spark with Ridge again and knows he is coming back to her.

At home, Nick playfully wakes Bridget up and she gets a phone call. Nick leaves the room and Bridget answers to Owen who asks her to talk to Nick because he doesn’t want to lose his job. Bridget notes he’s really intimidated and Owen asks if she’ll put in a good word for him. She thinks she can do more than that and asks if his schedule is clear. Owen checks the calendar and sees that Nick is supposed to meet with the accountants with Jackie, but he tells Bridget his morning is free. Bridget thinks that will give her time to talk to Nick.

Owen and Jackie make out in her office and Jackie realizes Nick is late for a meeting with the accountants. Owen pretends to call Nick to remind him, but lies that he just got his voicemail.


Nick comes out of the shower and finds a scantily clad Bridget waiting for him in bed. She says his schedule is free and he crawls into bed and kisses her and then they have sex.


Jackie and Owen meet with the accountants and she tells them Nick has been called away on business and hopes that won’t be a problem. One of the accountants says it won’t be since she owns the company and Owen’s ears perk up.

Ridge leaves Brooke, Rick tries to console his mother, Taylor and Stephanie support Ridge, and Stephanie finds the pills Ridge is taking.


Brooke tells Ridge their marriage is forever, but Ridge won’t ever feel differently about Rick. She tells him tragedies and heartbreaks happen, but as long as they have their love everything will be okay. She thinks they will figure it out if they have faith and trust in each other. They embrace and the phone rings. The machine picks it up and Rick leaves a message saying he and Steffy will be coming over for dinner. Ridge says Rick will always be a part of her life and even their love can’t change that. He can’t live with that, so it won’t work. Brooke continues to try and convince Ridge to stick it out, but Ridge calls her son the bane of his existence. He notes Rick is her son and no amount of love will change that. Ridge wants her to hate Rick as much as he does, but he knows she can’t do that. He can’t get control over his feelings over the loss of Phoebe and until he can, he can’t be there. Brooke asks if this is the end, but Ridge says, “Do you and I even know what that is?” They embrace again, Ridge kisses her and then says, “Goodbye Logan.” Ridge leaves and Brooke lies on the couch and cries.


Nick walks in on Owen and Jackie who are kissing in the office. Jackie asks him where he was this morning, but Nick wasn’t aware of the meeting. Nick gets upset that Owen was in the meeting with the accountants and tells Owen it’s in Jackie’s best interest to have him out of her life and company. Jackie says he is overreacting, but Nick counters that she’s being naïve. Owen defends himself, but Nick fires him. Owen tells him Jackie owns the company so only she can fire him and asks her if that’s what she wants. Jackie says she’s sorry, but she has to side with her son.


Rick enters Brooke’s house and sees his mother on the couch. She tells her son that Ridge is gone and not coming back. Rick wants to fix this because he wants both of them to be happy. She says she can’t fix this with Ridge, but there’s somebody who might be able to.


Ridge goes to the guesthouse and Stephanie stops by. He tells his mother that he left Brooke and doesn’t really know what he’s going to do next. Stephanie calls Taylor and tells her to come to the guesthouse.


Taylor comes over and Stephanie tells her Ridge ended it with Brooke. Taylor goes into the bedroom and asks how Ridge is doing. He says he did what had to be done, but it wasn’t easy. Taylor leaves the room for a minute and Ridge take the bottle of pills out of her purse and swallows a couple.


Jackie tells Owen they can still be together even though they aren’t working together anymore. Owen thinks it’s only a matter of time before Nick runs him out of her life. He understands why she had to fire him, but he wonders if he should move on because of Nick. Owen wants more than just laughs and good times and Jackie thinks he’s getting bored with her. He corrects her saying he wants more with her and wants a life with her. He wants to take the next step and gets on one knee asking her to marry him. Jackie laughs and accepts his proposal.


Stephanie comes to the room and sees Ridge taking more pills. Taylor returns with tea and while they aren't looking, Stephanie takes the bottle of pills and then leaves Ridge and Taylor alone. Ridge wonders how Taylor can make him smile, noting he hasn’t done that since the last time they were together. Through hazy eyes, Ridge strokes Taylor’s face and calls her beautiful.

Nick pops the question, Stephanie asks about the pills, Katie tries to console Brooke, Owen reassures Jackie he loves her, and Taylor and Ridge kiss.


As Ridge and Taylor stare into each other’s eyes, Stephanie eyes the pill bottle and calls Taylor into the living room. She asks Taylor about the pills and tells her she just saw Ridge take one. Taylor doesn’t think he’s taken that many and wonders if she should take a step back and be more detached. Stephanie tells her not to do that because she is his lifeline.


At home, Nick and Bridget get flirty as Nick gloats that Owen is out of the company. Nick pops some champagne, but Bridget doesn’t want to drink to Owen getting fired. Nick thinks Owen will be fine sitting at home waxing his surfboard while Jackie is at work and then Jackie will realize what a loser he is. Nick asks Bridget what is the worst thing he could do to her that he hasn’t already done. Bridget wonders if he’s asking for suggestions and he asks her to humor him because he has a point. She lists some off the wall scenarios and then says he’s already done some pretty bad things. He admits it’s true and doesn’t know if he can sink any lower than he already has. He reaches in his pocket and pulls out a ring. He asks her marry him and drops the ring in her champagne glass. He asks a stunned Bridget what she has to lose. After some recapping of what they’ve been through, he tells her he needs her and promises he will be good to her this time because he might just know what he’s doing now. Bridget thinks that their invitations should in all fairness say, “No gifts please.” Nick thanks her and says he loves her. Bridget tells him it was his best proposal yet and they get passionate. After they have sex, they talk about the reaction they’ll get when announcing their engagement.

Katie consoles Brooke over Ridge and they discuss the circumstances surrounding the breakup. Katie thinks Ridge will be back because he doesn’t do ‘alone’ well. Brooke doesn’t think he’s alone and tells Katie Ridge was with Taylor after they broke up. She wonders how being away from each other can make Ridge happy.


Brooke calls Ridge and learns he’s at the guesthouse. Ridge won’t come home while Rick is still around, but Brooke didn’t call to argue, she just wanted to tell him she loves him and believes they’ll work it out. Ridge just says, “Good night Logan,” and hangs up.


Owen presents Jackie with an engagement ring, which he assures her he didn’t charge to her credit card. Jackie hesitates and points out that she didn’t stand up to Nick on his behalf and thinks Owen might be doing this so he doesn’t get thrown out on the street. Owen knows he is the lightweight in their relationship, but he isn't threatened by her. He wants to level things out legally so he has a leg to stand on with Nick. He thinks Jackie is perfect the way she is and he wants to be with her if she’ll let him. Jackie holds out her hand and Owen puts the ring on her finger.


Taylor returns to Ridge and asks how many pills he took. He assures her he is fine and took them because he assumed she wouldn’t give him something that was bad for him. Taylor doesn’t like the idea of him self-medicating and asks how many he took. He tells her two and Taylor offers to write him a prescription of his own if he isn't feeling better in a couple of days. She doesn't want him to hesitate to ask her for anything he needs. They talk about their past and Taylor says this is a whole new chapter in their lives, but notes he was always happy with her and the kids. She wants to make him happy again and she kisses him. Taylor says good night and Ridge turns over to go to sleep. Taylor takes the bottle of pills and leaves the room.


In her bedroom, Brooke recalls her and Ridge’s wedding on the beach and cries.
