>> Hope: Yes. A few of the kids, uh, got the flu and I think she
might have it too. >> Brooke: Oh, no. Poor thing.
Does she have a fever? >> Hope: And she's achy, so I'm
keeping a very close eye on her. >> Brooke: Can I go see her?
>> Hope: Could it wait until a little later?
She just drifted off right before you got here and she
didn't sleep well last night so I just...

>> Hope: No. You know how it is when your child is sick.
You just wanna be right there for them.
>> Brooke: Yes, I remember it well.
>> Hope: So, Mom, what is the reason you came to see me?
>> Brooke: Uh, we didn't really get to finish our conversation
yesterday. You had to run out.
And I couldn't believe some of the things that you were
confiding in me. You have feelings for Finn?
>> Hope: I... I just think he is one of the
most amazing men that I have ever met, that's all.
>> Brooke: Honey, he is also Steffy's husband.
>> Hope: I know that, Mom. I am well aware. I just--
I don't think she appreciates him in the way that he deserves
to be appreciated. And honestly, I don't think
he is that happy with Steffy.
>> Steffy: What did I just walk in on?
Answer me, Hope. >> Finn: Hey, you.
I have a free morning. I'd love to spend it with
my beautiful sexy wife. >> Steffy: Well, I'd love that
too, but duty calls, I'm afraid. >> Finn: Hm.
You have to go to the office? >> Steffy: Yeah, yeah, I have,
um, back to back meetings. >> Finn: Hm.
>> Steffy: Tonight. >> Finn: Tonight.

about quickly. >> Finn: Okay, what's that?

the Future? Any news on that?

about it. >> Carter: I haven't seen her,
but if and when I do, I'll let her know you're looking for her.
>> Ridge: Thank you.

meantime, if you need me to step up.
>> Ridge: You've got enough to do already.
Somebody different. >> Carter: Okay, so are you
gonna bring in someone new to work with you and Steffy?
>> Ridge: Not new. Someone who's been with this
company almost as long as I have.
>> Carter: Brooke? >> Ridge: Is there
anyone better? >> Carter: Brooke's

You know where I stand when it comes to Hope.

trusting guy. >> Finn: You think she's
manipulating me? >> Steffy: I mean, she's used
men in the past. Thomas.
Liam. >> Finn: And now me.
>> Steffy: All I'm saying is Hope is really confused
right now. >> Finn: Hm.
>> Steffy: So, the less time you spend with Hope, the better.
>> Finn: Okay. >> Steffy: Love you.
>> Finn: I love you too. >> Brooke: Finn is
Steffy's husband. You can't be talking or feeling
this way.
>> Hope: How can I help it?
I mean, he's brought so much into my life.
We relate on this whole other level.
He's easy to talk to and... >> Brooke: Well, that's good.
That's wonderful. That you have somebody you can
confide in. A friend that you can open
up to. But that's all it is, honey.
You can't knowingly go after Steffy's husband.
>> Hope: And I would never do that, nor would I want to,
because I'm not a homewrecker. >> Brooke: Good.
I hope you wouldn't because there are children involved.
And it just feels like this could get out of hand without
you even intending to. And I don't want that to happen
to you, sweetheart. Okay?
Now, I gotta run, because Ridge wants to talk to me
for some reason. So, I'm gonna go.
But just be careful. Don't let your heart
rule your head, okay? >> Hope: Okay.

We can do better on this one. Thank you.
All right. I guess I put the cart before
the horse a little that time. >> Carter: That's exactly
what you did. Instead of going to Steffy first
and floating the idea of Brooke coming on board, you just--
>> Ridge: All right. >> Carter: Yeah.
Well? >> Ridge: Well, what?
Well, the truth is, I knew Steffy was gonna have a
problem with Brooke doing this, so I thought I'd ask her first.
If she agreed, I figured they would just, you know,
they'd work through it and do what's best for the company.
Hey, how are you? We were just talking about you.
>> Brooke: All good things, I hope.
>> Ridge: Of course. >> Carter: Yeah, Ridge was
telling me how you nixed his offer to take on more slack
so he can do his thing with Couture.
>> Brooke: Oh, yes, I'm afraid so.
Although, I hope he doesn't feel like I deserted him in his time
of need. >> Ridge: No, he doesn't feel
that at all. And he also thinks that, um,
he has not given up completely on you.

Dr. Finn knows what he's doing. So, uh, do you think
it will help? >> Finn: Yeah, I mean, it's not
always the remedy, but in her case, I think the vitamins
and the mild steroid will lessen the symptoms pretty quickly.
But for you, the big question is...
which one of these? >> Beth: Hm...
that one. >> Finn: This one right here?
Good call. That's my favorite, too.
But you need to do me a favor, okay, Beth?
I need you to drink plenty of water and the juice that your
mom has been giving you. Let's put this right here.

on Forrester Creations. We need to try to capitalize
on that again. >> Brooke: What do you mean?

the bedroom line. We need to highlight Brooke the
way that we used to when we first started it, right?
You-- you need to create a buzz that no one else can.

More than that, I know what we need to get to.
We need to get back to this.

camera, right? >> Brooke: Yes, but that was
a long time ago. I'm a grandmother now.

But he's right. You're not like any grandmother
anybody knows. Because you're timeless, you're
ageless, you're sexy and alluring and as provocative as
you were the first day I met you.
Maybe more so. So what do you think?
