What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

At the Forrester mansion, Donna filled Katie in on her conversation with Eric in Italy. Katie was surprised to learn that Nick had a ring. Donna wondered if Brooke would accept his proposal, given how vulnerable she was, and she might regret it later. Katie thought that Nick was a nice guy, but said Brooke and Ridge had years ahead of them to find happiness together.

Katie and Donna realized that they hadn’t heard from Brooke, and she wasn’t posting on social media. They hoped she was okay. Katie and Donna said they knew Ridge very well, and they knew how much he loved Brooke and said they were meant to be together. “Ridge and Brooke’s love…it’s unforgettable,” Donna shrugged.

At the Spencer mansion, Hope continued to fuss over Liam, and he continued to praise Grace for saving his life. They then recalled again how Reese tortured them by thinking that Beth had died when she hadn’t. Then they repeated again how Liam thought he was going to die, and now he was going to live.

At the hospital, Grace elaborated to Finn how she lied that Liam had terminal brain cancer to get a million dollars from Bill, and pay Reese’s gambling debts. Finn was shocked to learn that his suspicions were true. He lectured Grace about what she put everyone through. Grace maintained that Liam really did have a brain bleed, but claiming there was a tumor was her chance to make the money she needed to protect her daughters. Finn insisted on hearing the whole story.

Grace repeated how loan sharks were coming after her and her daughters. Finn still couldn’t understand how she could do something so cruel to them. “Once Liam was stabilized, I reviewed his medical records,” Grace explained. She could see that Liam had multiple concussions in the past. She knew who his father was, and concocted a phony diagnosis, and gave him fake meds to make him lightheaded and dizzy.

Grace tried to get Liam back to the hospital, but he wouldn’t come for “treatment” and he got shot by Luna, messing up her plans. When the opportunity arose, she made her move with Bill. She admitted the operation with her “colleague” was fake, but said she was careful. She begged Finn to understand.

Finn said Grace wasted his time poring over her phony scans, and she scammed him as well. He couldn’t get over what she did to his family. Grace wanted to focus on Liam living but after what Reese did to Liam already, Finn couldn’t get on board with her thinking. “You sold your integrity for a million bucks, Grace,” he barked. Grace begged him not to tell anyone.

Finn defiantly folded his arms, but Grace pointed out that he hadn’t told anyone yet and could continue to. She pleaded with him to do what she did, protecting her girls, and now he could do the same for those he loved. “All I ask is from one doctor to another, you know how important medicine is to me, helping people,” Grace pleaded. She begged him to forgive her.

In Naples, Ridge saw Brooke fall off Nick’s boat and dove into the Mediterranean to save her. Brooke floated unconscious as Ridge swam towards her. Nick was also knocked out and lying in his boat. As he came to, Ridge got Brooke to a police boat, and an EMT helped lift her out of the water. Ridge then gave Brooke mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while the boat raced for the shore.

“I can’t live without you, come on!” Ridge begged as he gave Brooke CPR. She had visions of meeting Ridge on the shore in Dubai as she came back to life. Once she began breathing, Ridge held her in his arms, telling her he was there and asking if she was okay. Then, Ridge kissed her passionately.

Later, as the sun went down, Ridge held Brooke in his arms, musing on how he almost lost her. “I’ll never take that for granted again, never again,” he promised. “I’ll make it right. We’ll make this right,” he said as Brooke smiled.
