You go to prison, you pay the consequences.
Rule number two. Rule number two.

here, you are gonna stay right here. Right in this
apartment where you're safe, okay? No crazy disguises.
No little excursions to go see Finn and Hayes or Taylor

No, you're not responsible for what happened with Ridge.
But now that you bring it up, I have to say I'm not
comfortable with Thomas's role in Douglas' life.
That image of the knife is just stuck in my head.
And it was right there by Douglas.
>> Hope: Mom, Douglas is perfectly safe. Okay?
Thomas has changed. >> Liam: Mm. I'm with Brooke
on this one. I know that's shocking. But the guy has
shown us how unreliable he is over and over again.
>> Hope: Okay. No, he's not like that anymore.
And I have spent plenty of time over at Eric's,
I've seen it firsthand. And can we not change
the subject here? Can we focus on you, Mom?
Because I'm tired of talking about Thomas.
>> Thomas: Uh, yeah. So Donna has had time to
absorb the news, but this must be a shock and a blow to you.
Brooke is your sister, and this is gonna be
a difficult transition for her.

You knew about this? >> Eric: Just since
yesterday, Katie. >> Donna: Yeah. And-- and we
were hoping things would change.
>> Paris: This is crazy. >> Carter: Ridge really ended
it with Brooke? >> Steffy: Apparently my
father did some deep soul-searching and then it
finally hit him. He picked a future with my mom
the way it should have been all along.

there's no way this ends well. Me letting you stay here

doing it for a good reason. >> Deacon: Oh, really?
Enlighten me. >> Sheila: You're having
the best sex of your life, you can't deny that.
And don't forget the whole money thing. I'm in a position

Taylor. Though I don't know what it is that made him
want to leave me. >> Liam: You don't think
it has something to do with my dad, do you?

Bill and me. Ridge knows that. >> Hope: So has Ridge
officially asked for a divorce?

All I know is that Ridge is in Aspen and Taylor's there

They never should have been apart.

She blew it. Well, I just wanted to let you know
what was going on. >> Eric: There's something
else, since we're bringing everyone up to date.
There's some more news, sort of unexpected and, uh,
not quite as joyful as you feel your news was. But, um,
Carter, you wanna tell them?
>> Carter: How do you know? >> Eric: Quinn texted me.

that, after everything Quinn went through to stop you
from marrying me, she just left?
>> Carter: Yeah. And I'm still struggling to process it.
And what we did to you was so unfair. Should have
been honest with you. I was in love with Quinn,
and I know she loved me. I know she did.

you've had with her? >> Eric: That's all.

Look I'm sorry my love life is hijacking

It is true I wasn't the biggest fan of Quinn.
Her jewelry line did exceptionally well for
Forrester. So on that level, she will be missed.
But today's really about celebrating our parents'
reunion. >> Katie: Well, just remember
in all that celebrating, no one should ever count out
Ridge and Brooke. >> Hope: We're going to be
here for you, Mom. Okay? No matter what happens.
>> Brooke: I still don't understand it. I mean how
are Ridge and I suddenly over? >> Hope: Well, if it's any
consolation, I don't get it either. I don't get why Ridge
went all the way to Aspen in the first place. I mean,
I know that things were a little tense because of
the Douglas situation, but-- >> Brooke: Yeah, not that
much. I mean, we still could have worked through that.
So what was it? What? Is it-- is it Bill? Is it because
of your father? What? I don't get it.
>> Hope: It's going to be all right. Okay?
It's gonna be okay. >> Brooke: Oh, honey.
Thank you. I just-- >> Deacon: So Brooke and
Ridge are over. >> Bill: Hmm. That really
surprises you. >> Deacon: Doesn't surprise you?
>> Bill: Hell no. And that proves my point.
You're not worthy, not the brightest bulb
in the chandelier. You see, the reason none of this
should surprise you is that it's painfully obvious Ridge
always lets Brooke down. And if you paid even the
slightest bit of attention, you would know that.
But I will give you some credit. You always seem
to know when Brooke is vulnerable, and that's when
you slither in bringing trouble with you like
the gutter snipe that you are. Well, don't even think
about it. This is my turf. >> Deacon: Your turf?
That's interesting. >> Bill: Ridge's loss is
another man's gain. And that man is me, not you.
So I am giving you a fair warning.
Stay away from Brooke. >> Deacon: And that's because
what? You're-- you're staking your claim?
>> Bill: Because Brooke will come to me and you can count
on that. >> Deacon: Look, man, I think
you're jumping the gun in this whole thing.
All right? You're looking at it all wrong. Yeah.
Beat your chest and, you know, grinding your turf, whatever.

does is it shows that you're the one that really doesn't
know her at all. ♪♪♪
>> Bill: Brooke doesn't want
you, Deacon. >> Deacon: Well, then you've
got nothing to worry about. >> Bill: She's been hurt
enough by Ridge. She needs a man that can make
her happy. Well, that ain't you. You are nothing but
a two-bit con man, always looking for an angle.
And I'm, well, me. And I will help Brooke
get over Ridge while on my yacht, which I will fly
her to on my private jet. Am I painting a picture that
even you can understand, convict?
>> Deacon: See, Bill, I think you're confused on this whole
thing. It-- it doesn't matter to Brooke how many zeros
the guy has in his bank account. You know, she
follows her heart. And she's gonna go where
it leads her. >> Bill: And it will lead her
straight to me. >> Deacon: Hmm.

and wallet. So you see that you're out of your league
on every level. In fact, if it wasn't for Hope,
Brooke wouldn't even wanna be in the same room as you.

you that Brooke and I have a child together. Um, well,
look, I think I've been patient long enough,
so I'm gonna ask you nicely. Please. Pretty please. Go.

frankly, it stinks in here. >> Deacon: This guy, man.

you and your mother operate. >> Steffy: Operate?
What exactly did we do? >> Hope: You actively planned
and plotted to steal my mother's husband away.

a homewrecker, so that's, like, way off base.
There's nothing premeditated about it. My mom's always
been honest about her feelings for my father. She just never
acted on it. My mom has more integrity
than that. >> Hope: Mm. Really? I think
my eyes must have deceived me then because I was at Eric's
and I saw the way she was flirting with Ridge.
How she took every opportunity to get her hands
all over him while he was still a married man.
So what integrity? Your mom went about this in
the most underhanded way possible and you helped her.
