Monday
A dirty and disheveled Brooke interrupted Taylor and Ridge's wedding, much to everyone's shock. Brooke refused to leave until Steffy admitted what she'd done. "Why are you all muddy and what's with the horse?" Ridge boggled. Brooke quickly explained. "What?!" Ridge gasped. He and Taylor looked at Steffy, agog. Thomas and Steffy 'fessed up that they'd "intervened." Steffy apologized but claimed she hadn't wanted to lose her family. She begged Ridge to finish the wedding. Ridge asked for a moment alone with Taylor and Brooke. Taylor understood where Steffy had come from from and insisted that even if Ridge had gotten Brooke's text messages, he would've remained committed to her. Brooke asked Ridge if that was true. Outside, the family paced and waited. Marcus hugged Steffy, while Eric and Steph argued Team Brooke vs. Team Taylor. Eric noted they had to let Ridge make his own decision. Inside, Ridge asked Brooke to say her piece, reiterating their conflict with Rick. "I acted in haste!" she said of letting him go. "We can get through this. It's not too late to do that!" Taylor looked at her like she'd lost her mind. On the porch, Thomas (and his atrocious blue pastel sport coat/pink tie combo) conferred with Steffy while
Stephanie wondered if Donna had known what Brooke was up to. Donna echoed Eric's sentiment that this was Ridge's choice, adding she believed he'd choose her sister. Back inside, the debate raged on. Taylor told Ridge it wasn't a mistake to marry her and Brooke made her pitch again. She didn't want Ridge to make a rash decision like she had. She spoke movingly, insisting that this time she'd live with whatever he decided.
Whip called Jackie, revealing he's now her upstairs' neighbor. Bewildered, but game, she ran up to visit — and have some wine and sushi. She called him on knowing that Owen was out surfing with friends. He asked her how she and Owen had met. She tried to change the subject but ended up admitting, "It was crazy, but it felt right." Whip wondered if she loves Owen. She said that Owen is the best thing that ever happened to her and makes her feel like both a "grand dame" and a "beach girl." Whip jumped up to get that idea down for a campaign and Jackie was impressed by his passion.
Tuesday
Brooke told Ridge that if this wedding was what he wanted, she'd hop on her horse and "ride off into the sunset." She pointed out that if Taylor hadn't proposed, he wouldn't have considered getting married so soon and insisted Ridge still loves her. Taylor refused to keep standing there like she was in the middle of their marital spat and asked Ridge if he really wanted to marry her. "I want you to be 100% committed," she said, taking their rings off as Brooke looked on with hope. Outside, the family was talking about whether or not the ceremony would finish. Too bad Taylor came out and told them the wedding was off. Thomas and Steffy spoke up, saying they were one word and a license signature from a completion. To no avail. Ridge asked the kids to blame him and him loving his two families. But other than the nixed nuptials, nothing had changed: "home is still home," he assured. Later, around the dinner table, they made banal conversation about what to do with the reception food and then Taylor made it clear that she'd stopped the wedding: "Brooke just made an entrance." Thomas and Steffy apologized for their actions and Ridge said he was going to be "a little more patient with Brooke." Afterwards, Taylor talked to Ridge about where they stand. She smooched him and walked off (to the bedroom they'd no longer be sharing!).
Katie went over to Brooke's looking for her and Bill followed her inside. Banter ensued! Then, Donna called Katie to tell her about Brooke interrupting the wedding and Steffy's texts. Bill cracked up hearing the news secondhand and Katie warned him not to say anything about her sister, as Brooke was amazing and supportive. Bill was impressed by her defense of Brooke's love for her. He walked out with a speculative gleam in his eye. Later, Brooke came home and Katie "Oh my God"-ed at her condition. They then chatted about the interrupted wedding. Brooke was hopeful for the future, noting if Ridge really wanted Taylor, they'd be hitched. Later, when Brooke was all cleaned up, Stephanie charged in to call her a "selfish bitch." "Men like to marry women, not little girls!" she cried, adding that men want women who give them "peace and stability," two things Brooke's not capable of. Brooke refused to fight with her, as they'd soon be in-laws again. Stephanie was floored by her delusions. Brooke noted that Steph was only Ridge's mother, even though she wants to be more. (Yes, she was implying something Oedipal!) They shouted more insults at each other as Steph walked out. Then, Brooke called Ridge and told him not marrying Taylor was the "best thing for everybody." She was certain she'd win him back.
Wednesday
Whip eyed promo shots for Indulge and assured a nervous Jackie that she and Jackie M were headed for the top. Over at Forrester, Eric, Donna, Katie, Marcus and Ridge were meeting about their prognosis and Eric got a call saying Jackie M had surpassed them in sales. Nick told his company that very thing, praising Bridget's designs for putting Jackie M at #1. Everyone toasted with champagne in paper cups and Jackie and Owen went off to canoodle. Later, Jackie asked Whip what else his genius had in store for her. Eric was proud of Bridget's accomplishments, but Forrester was in trouble! Thankfully, Brooke walked in from her hiatus with a new attitude,
ready to revitalize the company.
Katie gave the Forrester gang her idea, sort of the anti-Indulge. "We play on Forrester’s regal elegance," she suggested, noting that she and her sisters were the perfect example: three girls from the Valley who were now living the dream life. Back at Jackie M, Bridget was having a tough time celebrating when her father's company was in trouble. Nick suggested she tell her mother to go back to Forrester, and assured her Forrester would "come back strong." Forrester was already doing so! Brooke, Donna and Katie brainstormed royal-themed photo shoots and Ridge was a total buzzkill, pointing out they didn't have the budget. Brooke talked to him alone, wondering if Taylor would have a problem with them working together again. Out in the hall, Katie noted they did have budget issues and suggested they sell the company jet. After some talk, Eric agreed to do that! Back at Jackie M, Jackie and Whip brainstormed a bunch of ideas. "We work good together," she beamed. Whip clearly agreed. Nearby, Bridget and Nick made out. At Forrester, Brooke urged Ridge to get on board with this new campaign. Ridge vented about his non-wedding and they ended up laughing over the whole horse interruption.
Thursday
Whip was all psyched about the latest phase of the Indulge campaign: Jackie being the "beastmistress" that was "taming the best." The beast? A put-upon Owen in tiny shorts and fur-lined cuffs. Jackie and Whip convinced him to get on board with the wacky concept and the thoroughly embarrassing for Owen but funny for viewers shoot kicked off. Afterwards, Pam hit on Clarke, who told everyone the gossip he'd just learned about Forrester's new campaign. Whip assured them that Indulge was way better. "Never underestimate the power of Forrester Creations," Jackie warned. Later, she smooched Owen and checked out the test shots with a complimentary Whip.
At Forrester, Katie had high hopes for her, Donna and Brooke as the new faces of the company. Brooke tried out silly royal poses for Ridge and the duo enjoyed a laugh. Then, their royal photo shoot kicked off, with fancy dresses and high hairstyles. When they took five, Marcus proudly kissed his mom and Ridge told Brooke he'd been "captivated." The shoot then continued as Ridge and Eric looked on. Everyone was hopeful for the Royalty campaign's
success. Brooke talked about how special Forrester is to her and Ridge was clearly affected. Afterwards, they all checked out the shots. "It starts with the image, we have to follow through with the designs," Ridge pointed out to Eric. After they left, Stephanie walked in to confront her "royal" competition. "Royalty is a state of mind," defended Brooke, talking about women and "liberation."
At Taylor's, she congratulated Stephanie on Jackie M's success and they moved on to dishing Forrester and the Taylor/Ridge wedding that wasn't. Steffy walked in to tell them Brooke had gone back to work, on a new ad campaign touting the Logans as a "symbol of elegance and class." Taylor and a flummoxed Stephanie scoffed. Later, Stephanie pointed out to Taylor that she's distanced herself from Forrester, so why did this bother her so much? Taylor reminded her that Forrester's a part of her, "it's like one of your kids or something!" Steph kvetched about the girls from the Valley coming in and dubbing themselves Forrester royalty: "It galls me!" Taylor comforted her with a hug. Later, Taylor assured Steffy she isn't worried about Ridge and Brooke working in close quarters.
Friday
Owen made it clear to Jackie that he didn't enjoy the photo shoots Whip was supervising. Jackie jumped to Whip's defense. Jackie tried to distract Owen by kissing him. Whip interrupted and said they had one more set up, then announced that the shoot would only be about Jackie. "They are going to be talking about this all over the world," Whip said excitedly. Jackie was shocked and a little bit frightened when a real. Live cougar was brought into the office. "Cougar and Cougar," Whip explained. Jackie was very nervous standing near the animal. The cougar wasn't happy either, and became agitated while Jackie was alone with the cat. Whip and Owen tried in vain to back into the office as Jackie cried out for help.
Ridge looked at the photos of the "Princess" Brooke and remembered his last wedding to Brooke on the beach. Taylor interrupted his flashback. Taylor admitted said she only wants Ridge "if you want to be with me." Brooke on the other hand wants Ridge no matter what.
Stephanie accused Brooke of coming back to Forrester just to win back Ridge. She added that Ridge needed some space. Stephanie didn't think the royal campaign would work because although people connect the Forrester name to elegance, they think of Logans as trash. Brooke explained that they were in a new chapter of Forrester. "Why are you even here?" Donna asked. "You will end up as the laughing stock of this industry," Stephanie spat. "We're
recreating ourselves," Brooke argued. "We've all changed," she added. Then Brooke and Stephanie started fighting about Ridge. Ridge entered the room and escorted his mother out. "Why do you do this to yourself?" he asked his mother. Stephanie tried to explain that it broke her heart to see the company destroyed. Ridge gave his mother a big hug. Ridge started flirting with Princess Brooke.
Marcus told his mother she wears the royal look very well. Stephanie entered the elevator and stepped on Donna's train. The doors closed and Donna's dress ripped off!
