I'm gonna get right into the next collection.

what happened here. >> Thomas: Well, okay.
I got tons of emails and phone calls and not all
of them are from Mom. >> Ridge: Course they're not
all from mom because you guys did an amazing job.
You, Zende, Hope, you knocked it out of the park.
>> Thomas: Yeah. >> Ridge: It couldn't have
gone any better. >> Thomas: Last night was
incredible and I'm pumped about that.
But you don't seem as pumped as I am.
>> Ridge: I'm just as pumped as you. What are you
talking about? >> Thomas: Okay, it just
seems like something heavy is weighing on you.
What's going on? >> Ridge: I-- It's...
>> Thomas: Come on. You can tell me.
Is it like, did Bill get one of his hacks to pan us or what?
>> Ridge: It's nothing to do with Bill. I...
It's nothing to do with you or your show.
Everything was great. I just, I saw Brooke there,
and I know I saw her and... And just wonder how she could
do what she did. How she could call
child services and yeah, I just don't know what
to do with it. >> Thomas: She-- she hasn't
talked to you about that? >> Ridge: Nah, she's still
pretending she doesn't know what drove us apart.
>> Thomas: You know what? It's probably best to just
put it out of your mind. I mean, look, that whole
situation, it wasn't fun or anything, but it's like...
It wasn't great answering those questions, but it's not
like it affected me. It didn't affect Douglas.
Just move on from it. You know, Brooke is in
the past and we're all moving on from that.
I think that's pretty amazing. I mean, you-- you've been
dedicating your time to our family and we're
overjoyed to have you. >> Ridge: I did something
today, something that's gonna hurt Brooke very much.

bit strange. >> Thomas: Yeah, absolutely.
>> Steffy: Yeah. >> Ridge: Well, it should
make you happy, right? >> Steffy: Well, yeah,
it does make me happy. I mean, I want you and Mom
back together. We don't want Brooke
to be hurt. >> Ridge: Oh, she's going
to be hurt. There's nothing we can do about that.

>> Carter: I feel terrible. >> Brooke: Well, he mentioned
an annulment dissolving our marriage, so it's not
really a surprise. >> Carter: Still must
be shocking. >> Brooke: Yeah, it is.
It's really shocking to see it here in black and white.
A marriage like ours shouldn't be ending with
a few pieces of paper. It shouldn't be ending at all.
Did Ridge say anything? Did he ask you
to tell me anything? Well, I saw him after
the showing and he was, um, he wasn't callous,

Taking this step, I mean, even if you're certain
it's going to be a challenge and it's especially gonna
be a challenge if you know you're going to hurt someone,

just move forward. >> Steffy: Yeah.
You can't start a life with Mom until you end things

you give her the papers. >> Ridge: That'll be clear
to her, I'm sure. I should've been there.
It's not an easy thing. No, I should've been there
for her, I should've called her, warned her, something.

It wouldn't have made it better. I mean,
Brooke expects you to come back to her.
You always choose her over our family.

No, I'm just um, uh, what's the word?
I'm-- I'm conflicted. I've spent two lifetimes
with Brooke and we've done everything together and...
I now know she's in pain. It's because of me and trying
to find a place to put that. Trying to process things,
that's all. >> Thomas: I get that.
