With Nick continuing to listen in, Ridge and Taylor smooch and celebrate their latest engagement. Taylor insists she’s a modern woman going after what she wants.
They head back to Eric’s place to continue the celebration, with Taylor wondering if she should have asked Ridge’s dad for his hand. After all, Eric has always — and not-so-secretly — been #TeamBrooke. But ultimately, she knows that this is their time. She can’t wait to tell Steffy and Thomas. “Maybe one day you can tell the grandchildren how you took me to a less-than-average Italian restaurant and ambushed me” with a proposal, he suggests. Taylor knows Phoebe would be thrilled for them too. Taylor looks at the ring now firmly planted on her finger and says that after everything they’ve been through, it’s finally their time to be happy.
Nick Shocks Brooke
Brooke promises Hope that she’ll try and talk Ridge into resurrecting Hope For the Future. Her daughter suggests playfully that this is just her mom’s way of finding a new excuse to talk to Ridge… and resurrect her relationship with Ridge. Hope suggests her mom belongs better, prompting her to confess that someone else recently told her that: Nick!
Hope wonders if sparks flew again between Nick and her mom. “Maybe Nick is exactly what you need right now,” Hope suggests, with her mother admitting that Nick made her feel special and got her to laugh. “But my heart is still with Ridge, and he is my destiny,” she says, insisting he will come back to her. At that moment, Nick enters, bringing a big smile to Hope’s face as she suggests he’s might be the cure for what ails her mother.
Hope excuses herself, leaving Nick and Brooke to talk. He has something he needs to tell her. She assumes it has something to do with business, wondering if perhaps he’s thinking of purchasing a fashion house. While that’s not the case, he does say that what he knows will prove fascinating to the industry. Eventually, he tells his ex that he saw her ex with his ex, meaning Ridge and Taylor. Big whoop, says Brooke, only to have Nick hit her with the fact that he heard Taylor propose to Ridge. Still not quite connecting the dots, Brooke clearly assumes her “destiny” rejected the proposal, only to be stunned with Nick reveals that Ridge is now an engaged man.
Luna Issues a Threat!
Electra struggles as she, Steffy, Finn and Baker watch Will ply Luna with kisses and compliments. Yes, Baker says, the situation is dangerous, but there are cops standing by in case things go south. And Electra knows that what Will’s doing is important “He’s trying to save all of us.”
As Luna tries turning up the heat, Will suggests they slow things down, saying he’s not just there for sex. “I really believe we could be something more,” he says, adding that he’s there for her and ready to listen. He’s not there to judge her. She begins telling the same old sob story about her mom chasing men and parties, dragging her around the country. She wanted a father to love and protect her and, upon finding out about Finn, a huge hole in her heart was filled. “Finding him was a miracle, and it was my biggest dream come true,” she elaborates. “But that dream keeps getting crushed over and over by that bitch Steffy!”
Steffy recoils as she and the others watch the video feed. “Don’t I deserve everything that Steffy’s been experiencing her whole life?” whines Luna. “I have zero intention of leaving quietly. What, I’m going to just disappear so they can act like I never existed? No, Will, I have a plan. A plan to make sure Steffy’s never a problem for me ever again!”
“That’s it!” declares Finn. “We got her! That’s intent to harm!” But is it really enough?
Next on The Bold and the Beautiful: Both Brooke and Luna are hit with shocks regarding the men in their lives.
