going through.
349
00:14:33,043 --> 00:14:36,080
And a daughter who gives, like,
a really amazing pep-talk,
350
00:14:36,146 --> 00:14:38,082
remind you,
to never give up on Dad.
351
00:14:38,148 --> 00:14:39,617
>> Taylor: Oh, God,
okay, so that's
352
00:14:39,683 --> 00:14:41,485
the real reason you
want to tag along.
353
00:14:41,552 --> 00:14:42,586
>> Steffy: Tag along?
354
00:14:42,653 --> 00:14:44,555
I'm pretty sure Bill was
the one who called moi.
355
00:14:44,622 --> 00:14:46,724
So, you're the one
tagging along.
356
00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:49,827
>> Taylor: That is
an excellent point.
357
00:14:49,893 --> 00:14:51,996
Honey, I know you think
I'm running away.
358
00:14:52,062 --> 00:14:53,998
But I'm not, I'm just--
>> Steffy: No, I get it.
359
00:14:54,064 --> 00:14:57,534
Maybe some time away
is exactly what you need.
360
00:14:57,601 --> 00:14:59,637
>> Taylor: I think
you're right.
361
00:14:59,703 --> 00:15:01,672
I just need to--
I need
362
00:15:01,739 --> 00:15:03,741
to get my head on straight.
363
00:15:03,807 --> 00:15:07,278
Because when I come back,
Brooke will still
364
00:15:07,344 --> 00:15:10,347
be your dad's wife.
365
00:15:10,414 --> 00:15:12,149
>> Brooke: Ridge was upset.
366
00:15:12,216 --> 00:15:15,019
He was very upset.
367
00:15:15,085 --> 00:15:17,388
>> Liam: Well,
I'm not surprised.
368
00:15:17,454 --> 00:15:19,623
Somebody calls
Child Protective Services
369
00:15:19,690 --> 00:15:22,359
on your son,
that's gonna do a number on ya.
370
00:15:22,426 --> 00:15:25,062
You and I,
we have our issues with Thomas,
371
00:15:25,129 --> 00:15:27,031
but I--
I'm not, I just--
372
00:15:27,097 --> 00:15:30,601
I wish
I knew who made the call.
373
00:15:30,668 --> 00:15:32,169
>> Brooke: I'm sure
whoever did call,
374
00:15:32,236 --> 00:15:35,372
did it out of love
and concern for Douglas.
375
00:15:35,439 --> 00:15:37,508
>> Liam: Yeah, yeah,
probably...
376
00:15:37,574 --> 00:15:39,977
hopefully.
377
00:15:40,044 --> 00:15:45,616
It's weird to think
we may never know.
378
00:15:45,683 --> 00:15:46,850
>> Brooke: Yeah.
379
00:15:46,917 --> 00:15:49,420
♪♪♪
380
00:15:53,023 --> 00:15:55,726
>> Thomas: It doesn't
have to be this way, Dad.
381
00:15:55,793 --> 00:15:58,028
You can choose a better life.
382
00:15:58,095 --> 00:16:00,798
You could be with someone
that makes you laugh,
383
00:16:00,864 --> 00:16:03,133
lifts your spirits.
384
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,203
>> Ridge: I thought
I had that with Brooke.
385
00:16:06,270 --> 00:16:08,172
>> Thomas: No,
I literally can't remember
386
00:16:08,238 --> 00:16:11,642
a time where it was
like that with Brooke.
387
00:16:11,709 --> 00:16:14,745
You can't pretend that Brooke
is a person that she's not.
388
00:16:14,812 --> 00:16:18,882
>> Ridge: I don't know
what to do with this.
389
00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:21,018
>> Thomas: This isn't
the first betrayal, Dad.
390
00:16:21,085 --> 00:16:24,922
It's not going to be the last
>> Ridge: We've forgiven each
391
00:16:24,988 --> 00:16:26,757
other for so many things.
392
00:16:26,824 --> 00:16:29,493
So many things.
393
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,862
But this...
394
00:16:31,929 --> 00:16:37,201
Trying to take your son
away from you.
395
00:16:37,267 --> 00:16:40,070
Thomas, she wouldn't lie to me,
she wouldn't.
396
00:16:40,137 --> 00:16:41,405
>> Thomas: No.
397
00:16:41,472 --> 00:16:43,974
Brooke wouldn't lie to you.
398
00:16:44,041 --> 00:16:45,709
Unless she's trying
to protect herself
399
00:16:45,776 --> 00:16:49,246
from something horrible
she's done.
400
00:16:49,313 --> 00:16:52,783
Oh, like she did when, uh,
When she was drinking
401
00:16:52,850 --> 00:16:54,084
with Deacon.
402
00:16:54,151 --> 00:16:54,885
Remember that?
403
00:16:54,952 --> 00:16:57,121
When she,
she was kissing him
404
00:16:57,187 --> 00:16:59,456
and let him sleep in your bed.
405
00:16:59,523 --> 00:17:01,258
Or how about when
she made out with Bill?
406
00:17:01,325 --> 00:17:02,926
>> Ridge: Thomas, stop,
>> Thomas: No, no, no.
407
00:17:02,993 --> 00:17:04,428
I actually have to say this.
408
00:17:04,495 --> 00:17:09,433
Can we dispel with the whole
thing about Brooke not lying?
409
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:11,568
It's literally the first
thing she goes to.
410
00:17:11,635 --> 00:17:15,038
Mom tells the truth,
right off the bat.
411
00:17:15,105 --> 00:17:19,743
But, Brooke, the truth has
to be pulled out of her.
412
00:17:19,810 --> 00:17:22,880
Trying to act like she's
not going to betray you.
413
00:17:22,946 --> 00:17:24,481
You mean, like,
she betrayed you
414
00:17:24,548 --> 00:17:29,787
with Uncle Thorne
or with your father?
415
00:17:29,853 --> 00:17:32,556
Look, I'm not saying
this to hurt you.
416
00:17:32,623 --> 00:17:34,725
That's the last thing
I would ever want.
417
00:17:34,792 --> 00:17:37,594
I'm your son, I love you.
418
00:17:37,661 --> 00:17:40,330
I want to protect you,
I want to protect Mom,
419
00:17:40,397 --> 00:17:43,167
I want to protect our family.
420
00:17:43,233 --> 00:17:46,837
But stop acting like
Brooke deserves you.
421
00:17:46,904 --> 00:17:49,540
Brooke called
Child Protective Services
422
00:17:49,606 --> 00:17:52,910
on me.
423
00:17:52,976 --> 00:17:58,315
She's trying to take away
my son.
424
00:17:58,382 --> 00:18:04,955
You heard the recording,
Dad, it was her voice.
425
00:18:05,022 --> 00:18:11,028
She even said her name.
426
00:18:11,094 --> 00:18:12,796
It was Brooke, Dad.
427
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:18,001
It was Brooke.
