Let me see. Let me see.

Congratulations.
Oh, I'm so happy for you.
>> Taylor: Yes. Your father and I are getting married.
[ Taylor laughing ] >> Steffy: Oh!
>> Thomas: All right.
Here's what I'm thinking.
You don't have any school today, right? So I think you
should come to work with me and maybe help me out
with some designs.
What do you say?
>> Douglas: Whatever.
>> Thomas: Whatever? Come on.
What kind of answer is that?
I want some enthusiasm here.
Forrester Creations is your birthright, after all.
And it's never too early to start learning about
the company. You're not gonna sit around and sulk all day,
are you?
>> Douglas: I'm sorry, Dad.
But I just can't stop thinking about what you did
to Grandma Brooke.
That was wrong.

showed up?
>> Brooke: At first, I thought he was looking for Hope,
but really he was here to throw Ridge and Taylor
in my face.
You should have heard him.
>> Katie: That's so weird.
I mean, lately, he seems like he's been a little more
subtle than that.
>> Brooke: Well, the mask slipped, if only for a second,
and then he went into poor, misunderstood Thomas mode.
But I see him clearly.
I know who he is, and I don't trust him.
Not for a second.
And it always seems like he's hiding something.

>> Katie: I know how you feel about Thomas, and I don't
blame you, but the stance that you've taken has

we have left, considering we both signed
annulment papers, and I'm not even sure why.

I don't expect you to fully understand. Like you're just
a little boy and this is a complicated adult situation.

You called Child Protective Services on yourself to break
up her marriage with Granddad.
That was wrong.

>> Brooke: I've been asking Ridge over and over again,
why are you ending our marriage?
>> Katie: And what does he say?
>> Brooke: He's just been very vague.
>> Katie: That's so weird.
Ridge has always been so direct.
>> Brooke: He keeps saying that he's committed to Taylor
now, and what do I think happened? But I just kept
pressing him. I told him, I don't think he really wants
to end our life together.
>> Katie: How did he respond to that?
>> Brooke: He said he doesn't want any of this.
>> Katie: Oh.
>> Brooke: So, I told him we need to communicate.
And he said it's not that simple.
>> Katie: He's the one making it difficult by not telling
you why he left.
>> Brooke: God, I know. Exactly.
And I asked him is it Bill or is it Deacon?
And he said no.
>> Katie: Did you believe him?
>> Brooke: Oh, yeah. I did.
But then he implied that it had something to do
with his son.
That's why I don't trust Thomas.
He always wanted Ridge and me to break up and for his
parents to be together.
And now that Ridge and I signed annulment papers,
I'm afraid that might be happening.

What about Brooke? Didn't-- didn't you two just--

Wow.
Well, congratulations.

Hey, Douglas.

>> Douglas: It's a free day.
>> Ridge: Oh, nice.

way to spend this free day than shadowing his dad.

>> Douglas: It's cool, I guess.
>> Taylor: Hey. What do you mean, you guess?
>> Douglas: Well, it's just I kind of feel bad
for Grandma Brooke.
>> Thomas: Yeah. You know, that's just 'cause he's such
a loving and empathetic kid.
But-- but right now, we should probably focus on
Grandma Taylor and your granddad and how happy
they are. Finally, now that they're together,
