CPS on Thomas? >> Ridge: I thought he should
have all the facts. >> Taylor: And Ridge,
you're sure, you're sure that it was Brooke?
>> Eric: But the Brooke I know would never do such a thing.
>> Ridge: Well, I didn't want to believe it, either.
>> Steffy: She tried getting his son taken away from him?
>> Ridge: I don't know what she was thinking, Steffy.
I don't know. >> Finn: There's no doubt
it was her? >> Eric: Look, we all know
that Brooke had issues with Thomas, but for her to do this?
Come on. >> Taylor: Yeah, why--
why would she do this? >> Steffy: Because
she hates us, Mom. Are we really surprised?
>> Taylor: No, no. I'm just, I'm-- I'm completely
in shock right now. She went after our son,
and he is such a-- such a good influence on Douglas.

annulment papers and Ridge is already moving on.

this is what he wants. >> Katie: No, it's not.
It can't be! >> Brooke: Well,

He's going to marry Taylor tomorrow.

I couldn't wait to get out of there.
Sitting there with a fake smile on my face--

doomed from the start. >> Donna: And I told Eric I--
I wouldn't make the wedding tomorrow either.
He understands. It hurts me. You know,
watching Ridge and Taylor, knowing how much it hurts you.
>> Katie: I'm so sorry you're going through this.
>> Donna: And, you know, honestly, let's get real.
I mean, Ridge going from one woman to the next?
How does Taylor not see this as a big red flag?
>> Katie: What I don't get is the Thomas connection.
You said that he has something to do with why you
and Ridge aren't together?
>> Steffy: Brooke called CPS on my brother?
I mean, I knew she was horrible,
but this? Are you serious?
>> Taylor: This is, um, this is unforgivable.
>> Eric: Look, this is just some kind
of a misunderstanding. Obviously, Brooke wouldn't do
anything like this. Who told you it was her?
>> Ridge: Like I said, I heard the conversation.
I heard it! >> Steffy: So no question
it was Brooke. >> Douglas: Grandma
Brooke's call? That was the processed voice,
not the original. >> Thomas: I-- I don't really
think you know what you're talking about here, bud.
>> Douglas: Yes, I do. I heard it.
I heard you. You made that call
in her voice. You did it so granddad

Brooke's voice. ♪♪

Of course, your feelings about Thomas,
your very valid feelings, I might add,

how is it possible that Ridge and Taylor don't see Thomas
for who he really is? >> Brooke: I don't know!
>> Katie: I mean, look at his past.
Look at his obsession with Hope.
>> Brooke: He's a pro at this point.
He's just a total con artist. Just keeps picking
away at those threads, trying to unravel my marriage
so that his family wins.
>> Thomas: I, uh, told Douglas to hang out in his room.
>> Steffy: Yeah, it's probably best he isn't here to listen
to what Brooke did. >> Thomas: I agree.
>> Taylor: You must feel so betrayed.
>> Thomas: Well, you know, dad's the one
that got manipulated. >> Taylor: Yeah,
she called CPS on our son. He could've had
his parental rights taken away. >> Steffy: So Hope could
have Douglas full time. >> Finn: That was
Brooke's reason? >> Taylor: How do you
think, Ridge? Is that why she did it, so that Thomas and
Douglas couldn't be together? >> Ridge: I don't know.
I'm shocked as you are. >> Taylor: But you-- You
didn't say anything. You knew this before you
came to Aspen and you didn't say anything?
>> Steffy: Dad, please don't tell me
you were protecting Brooke. She targeted Thomas.
>> Thomas: Yeah, you know, dad and I actually, we promised
we wouldn't say anything to anyone, especially Brooke.
>> Eric: So Brooke doesn't know that you're aware of this?
>> Ridge: No, she doesn't. >> Thomas: You know what?
Brooke threatened to call CPS, and then CPS showed up
at the door, so I'm pretty sure she could figure it out.
>> Steffy: And you expect us not to say anything?
She needs to be called out! >> Thomas: Brooke is
already out of our lives and dad's already said goodbye.
>> Steffy: She can't get off this easy.
>> Thomas: If I can let it go, so can you.
>> Steffy: So Mom and me just have to pretend
like nothing ever happened? What?
>> Thomas: What is going to happen if you--
Yeah, I know. I get it. I get the feeling you want
to go over there and you want to make sure that Brooke
gets what she deserves. I totally get that,
but what's she going to do? She's going to come over
here and she's going to cry and beg and plead to him
because she wants forgiveness. But he's already moved
on and he's getting married to our mom.
Alright? Let's just put Brooke
behind us. ♪♪
>> Donna: I don't trust Thomas. Honestly,
he has always given off, like, weird vibes.
>> Katie: I mean, look at the way he's using Douglas to
lure Hope over to Eric's house. >> Brooke: I agree!
I am sick of talking about Thomas.
He's had too much power over my life as it is.
And I know Ridge is just being protective of his son,
I mean, the same way I'm being protective of my children.
>> Katie: You don't let them dictate your life.
I mean, they've had issues with Ridge over the years,
but you work it out. >> Brooke: Right.
If you say vows, you've got to stick with it, right?
You have to work through that. But there's Ridge!
He's exchanging vows with somebody else.
>> Donna: So wrong. So, so wrong.
>> Brooke: Yeah, it is. That whole family is
over there at Eric's, waiting to just celebrate
his marriage tomorrow. >> Katie: I don't know how
Ridge can celebrate anything knowing that
you're here heartbroken.
>> Ridge: Alright, can we be done with this now?
We're supposed to celebrate-- >> Taylor: No, Ridge, this is--
This is very important. >> Eric: I need
some details here. How did any of this happen?
>> Ridge: What do you want to know, Dad?
It's her voice, I heard it, I didn't wanna listen to it.
>> Finn: How did this all start?
>> Thomas: You remember Knife-Gate?
You know, Brooke freaking out because I
had a tiny little pocket knife that I used to cut up an apple?
>> Taylor: Yes, and she was afraid that Douglas was there.
>> Thomas: Yeah, except it wasn't a big deal,
and Douglas couldn't care less. >> Ridge: Well, obviously,
it was a big deal to Brooke because CPS showed up
here shortly thereafter. >> Steffy: You're telling me
she freaked out because you were eating an apple?
>> Thomas: Yeah. >> Taylor: She was looking for
an excuse to make you appear unstable, and that was it.
>> Thomas: Right. But regardless, Dad wanted
to know why they showed up. So--
>> Ridge: Right, so Thomas suggested we reach out
to someone that actually worked for Forrester for a while,
Walter. He now works for a company
that works for Child Protective Services.
And we got in touch with him and asked him if we could
listen to the recording. >> Agent: Child Protective
Services. >> Brooke's Voice: Hello.
I'd like to report a child in danger.
His name is Douglas Forrester. His father,
Thomas Forester, is unstable. He has a knife.
>> Agent: And your name, ma'am? >> Brooke's Voice: Brooke
Logan. >> Ridge: And unfortunately,
it was Brooke. I've never been so blindsided
in my life that someone would want to do this to my son.
>> Taylor: And then you-- you came to Aspen.
This is-- The whole thing's unbelievable.
>> Steffy: This just proves she isn't worthy of you.
>> Thomas: Yeah. And now, Brooke, isn't going
to hurt you anymore. >> Eric: Look,
I'm sorry I'm hearing all this, you know, but I'm finding it
very hard to believe. >> Ridge: Okay.
No, I can see that. But why is that?
I'm telling you, I heard the recording.
We both heard the recording. She said her name!
>> Eric: Did you confront Brooke about it?
>> Ridge: I gave her every chance to come clean.
To maybe try to explain or apologize,
but she said nothing. The only thing she did
say was that, oh, my God, how could anyone
do that to Thomas? She lied to my face
and then she came to Aspen. >> Brooke: I know you, Ridge.
I know there's something that you're not saying,
and I wish you would just-- Just say it.

Why are you pretending that you don't know what this is?
>> Brooke: I don't. >> Ridge: Can you just be
honest and-- and say it? I just need to hear you say it.
>> Brooke: Say what? I-- I don't know what it is
you want me to say. I mean,
what do you think I did? >> Steffy: I'm sorry, Dad.
>> Finn: Yeah, I can't imagine how hard that must have been.

I wish I would have known that you were struggling.
Both of you. >> Thomas: It's not about me.

what to do, Donna. I don't know what more I can
say to get through to him. I don't know
why he's doing this, why he's marrying Taylor,
leaving me. All I know is that
he still loves me. >> Katie: Well,
it's clear that something happened to make Ridge leave

he can't live without her, which means that that marriage
