the hard work he put into bettering himself to gain
our trust, and then to fake that phone call to CPS
to make everyone believe that it was my mother.

to lie. I really don't know

willing to tell your father the truth. I don't know
what's gonna happen between Ridge and Taylor and me,

a decision based on a lie. And that's thanks to you.

they're gonna get married after this.

That's why he left town. To gain perspective.
Same with my mom. But I will say, Thomas's lie,
him framing you, it still doesn't change how my father
feels about my mom or what drove him to propose
to her and want a future with her.
>> Brooke: Hmm. What about Taylor's actions? Or should
I say lack of action? >> Steffy: Okay.
>> Hope: I have to admit, Steffy, I mean, it is surprising
that Taylor decided to keep quiet and-- and that she thought
there was still a chance for the wedding to happen.
>> Brooke: Ridge found out that Thomas manipulated him into
thinking that I lied to him, that I called CPS and Taylor
found out about that moments before the wedding.
So she had to know that that's why Ridge left me.
That's why he gave me annulment papers. She realized
that the ceremony was based on a lie, but she was still
willing to go through with it. I'm stunned. I'm really stunned
your mother would do something like that.

You drove a woman off a pier. But yeah, freedom's right

And his argument, it's-- it's valid because he said
my father was marrying my mom, not because of the CPS call,
not because of you, Brooke, because he actually loves
my mother. So why should we spoil the wedding?

I know that my father loves my mom. He assured us.
