voice mail. Again. >> Hope: I don't know
what to say, Mom. I mean...
have you tried email? >> Brooke: Honey, what's
the point if he doesn't even want to talk to me.
[ Brooke sighing ] >> Hope: Mom. Is this really
want you want? You want to make your marriage work
with Ridge? >> Brooke: Yes. Of course!

be actually able to make this right with Ridge.

happy I am right now? >> Thomas: I'm pretty sure I do.

You finally realized this is where you belong.
♪♪♪ >> Sheila: Now, come on,
Deacon. Just flash that sexy smile of yours,
would you? You should be thrilled.
Brooke's epic romance with Ridge finally coming
to an end? You should be celebrating.
>> Deacon: I just know how much she cares
about the guy. I mean, if she's really
losing him, if that's really happening, I could only
imagine how heartbroken she is. ♪♪♪
>> Paris: I know you want this as much as I do.
And if you're feeling guilty, don't. You know Zende and I
agreed to see other people. >> Carter: Agreeing is one
thing, but feelings might change if something
actually happens. >> Paris: It already has.
Zende is dating Sequoyah and I don't even
feel the slightest bit jealous about it. If she's
a better match for him, then he deserves the chance
to figure that out. And if I'm being honest,
I'm figuring out a lot myself.
♪♪♪
>> Carter: Um...Zende,
he's-- he's probably thinking of us right now,
wondering what you're doing. You should go. You should...
you should be with him. >> Paris: You know you don't
want that, the way you're kissing me.
>> Carter: Why would you risk the future you can have.
Think about the things he can give you, Paris.
Things that I can't. He can give you prestige,
opportunities, connections. You'd be crazy to give that
up for me. >> Paris: Well, then I guess
you can call me crazy. ♪♪♪
>> Sheila: You should go to Brooke. I mean,
she needs a shoulder. Now could be a great
opportunity for you to actually--
>> Deacon: You gotta go. >> Sheila: Me? She doesn't
want my shoulder. >> Deacon: Get out of here,
all right? Hope's coming. Come on. Go.
She can't see us together. >> Hope: Dad. Hey.
>> Deacon: Hey, sweetheart. Hi.
>> Hope: How's the head? >> Deacon: Works a lot
better when it's not used as a punching bag.
What's wrong? >> Hope: Oh, I think you can
probably guess. >> Deacon: Your mom
and Ridge. Yeah. I was afraid something like
that was gonna happen after he stormed off the other day.
But, I mean, your mom, she's usually really good
at calming down. I figured she would've by now.
Talked him off the ledge. No.
How's she dealing with it? Is she okay?
>> Hope: She's devastated. She thinks that she's lost
Ridge forever. ♪♪♪
>> Taylor: Steffy, I appreciate your excitement
and yours, but this is a-- this is a complicated
situation all around. Be happy, yes, but...
also be mindful of what this means for your father
and Brooke. You can't forget that.
>> Steffy: We won't. We're here for you, Dad.
Anything we can do to help you navigate
the separation. >> Thomas: That's right.
Steffy and I have your back. And Mom does too.
But, you already know that. That's why you came home.
I can see it in the way that you look at her.
The kind of respect you have for her, the admiration.
Mom's exactly what you need. ♪♪♪
>> Carter: You have no idea
how much I wanna see where this can go.
How much I wanna kiss you. Touch you.
>> Paris: You're feeling what I'm feeling.
How good we could be together. >> Carter: Good, yeah.
Doesn't mean we should. >> Paris: Carter, don't ask me
to give up on this before it started.
>> Carter: That's exactly what you have to do.
You have to put a stop to this before we cross a line,
before feelings get hurt. >> Paris: Who says they will?
>> Carter: I do. Paris, I have never been able
to make a relationship work. >> Paris: Well, maybe with
the right woman, that'll change.
She's out there, Carter. And I'm not saying she's
definitely me, but you know what? I'm throwing my name
in the hat because this chemistry we have,
this connection between us, we owe it to ourselves to try.
♪♪♪ >> Deacon: Look, here's
the deal. Even if Ridge says it's over, even if he's
off pouting, having one of his epic tantrums,
thank you very much Stephanie and Eric for not course
correcting that by the way, but, I mean, come on.
He's done this a million times, right? You know,
he storms off, says he's never coming back.
He always comes back, right? Come on. I mean,
that's why they've had a thousand weddings.
>> Hope: And now, the other love of his life is back
in town. And... they spent the night together.
>> Deacon: Taylor. For real? >> Hope: Yeah.
So, obviously Mom is devastated and that's why
I wanted to come here because I asked her, does
she really want to save her marriage to Ridge and
she said "yes." So, I told her that I would
support her. So that's why I want to talk to you.
>> Deacon: I mean, honey, I feel for Brooke, I really
do, but I don't know what I could do.
>> Hope: You... you could talk to Ridge.
Make him understand. Convince him not to give up
on my mom. ♪♪♪
>> Thomas: You know, I wish Phoebe could be here, to see
our family back together. >> Steffy: She'd be just
as excited as we are. >> Thomas: Yeah.
I hope you understand what this means to us, Dad.
You coming back home. I mean, look, I know--
I know you had this this connection with Brooke.
An attraction that you've had with her.
It's a long time, right? Years and years.
Since before Steffy and I were born. I understand
the power of an attraction like that, but that doesn't
excuse the abuse, you know? The trauma, the pain,
the betrayal you've gone through with her?
So, thank you. Thank you for saying that
and thank you for giving yourself a life that
you deserve. ♪♪♪

>> Carter: After everything
with Quinn, after everything was done, I could barely
look at myself in the mirror knowing what I did to Eric

on this, daughter. You want me to go talk to Ridge,
the guy that doesn't listen to reason, who hates my guts,
and, oh hey, by the way, physically attacked me
the last time I saw him. That Ridge.
>> Hope: Mm-hm. Yeah. Because doesn't that send
a message. That, in spite of everything you just said,
that you would still go to him and show him
that you don't want Brooke. I know you care about Mom
and I know you want to make her happy

Hi. >> Ridge: Hi.

part of you and I'm sure your head is spinning right now.
>> Ridge: Well, we... um...
I feel safe. That's a weird thing to say.
I feel supported. But, you're right. No.
My head is spinning. It is because I don't know
what happened. I don't know why Brooke started drinking,
why she would make out with Deacon. Spend the night
with him. I don't-- I don't understand why she would
throw everything away. ♪♪♪

My grandson's? I love Finn.
I love him with all my heart and yet, you were thrilled at

Dignity. Someone who understands forgiveness.

all the years that he spent-- >> Brooke: All the years

I have no idea what made me drink. And do you know

one drunken night ruin what I have with my husband.
