Brooke works at home with final plans on the wedding at Marina Del Rey. Stephanie is dismayed when Brooke tells her she made her decision and they aren't using the poster with "Brooke's Bedroom.....or nothing at all." Stephanie begs her not to let Nick's jealousy get in the way of her success, their success! This is the 4th of July. Where is her free spirit? Surely she is not going to walk away from who she is? Brooke reminds her that Nick is only re-acting to what she and Ridge have been doing to break them apart, so she does not blame him. Stephanie warns her one more time, if she marries Nick, she will regret it for the rest of her life. Christian questions Felicia how did the art gallery awards ceremony go last night? Great; too bad his date didn't make it. Turning into a human lobster; that is nothing compared to what is going to happen today, she boasts. True, Bridget is walking around, stiff and red, everything hurts. With the previous oil and now vinegar to soak in, she feels like a salad. Before Dante leaves, she gets some creme which she assumes her dad sent. Felicia tells Christian that poor little Bridget is going to get creamed! Bridget slathers the creme on her face; it feels so good. At the studio, Dante meets with the gallery owners and Felicia is only too happy to fill them in on their initial meeting and humiliate Dante at the same time. Dante finds Bridget rigid, drooling, her face won't move. He calls Christian. Felicia has confessed to him that she sent Felicia some Botox so she won't feel a thing. He reprimands her that she stop these stunts right now. Taylor visits Nick and tells him that Ridge usually gets his way and with Stephanie helping him, he might have reason to be concerned. And Brooke is still seeking approval from the entire family so she might be somewhat vulnerable. He also assumed she knew about his mother and Stephen. She's surprised but said she knew from the beginning it wasn't going to work out for them. Nick tells Brooke that the honeymoon is set but he's as mum as she is on the wedding plans. But, he'd like to talk to her about work. He feels he has been a good sport, and suggests it is time that she start her own company thought she opines that Forrester IS her company. He still questions her role at Forrester, being CEO yet modeling in her underwear to get them rich. He doesn't care about the money, and she doesn't want to be taken care of'. Stephanie walks the grounds of Burton W. Chace Park with Mass and tells him the outdoor photo is the key. He points out where it should be so Nick will be at the ceremony and look right at it. There should be fireworks  they should explode and so should their marriage.
Brooke: Yes, we want to be facing west, towards the marina, so we can see the boats going by. Yes, in Marina del Rey. Okay, I'll talk to you soon. Stephanie: Marina del Rey? Brooke: Oh, yes. It's a beautiful place to have a wedding. Stephanie: Oh, are you planning it? Brooke: Well, as much as I possibly can. Stephanie: Oh, really? Well, I'd much rather you work on this? [SCENE_BREAK] Christian: So, how was the event at the art gallery last night? Felicia: It was fantastic. Dante was so proud. It's too bad his date couldn't make it. Christian: Well, you turned her into a human lobster. Felicia: That's nothing compared to what I have in store for her today. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: How you doing? Bridget: The vinegar bath helped a little bit, but now I smell like a salad. Dante: Add some Italian olive oil and I could eat you up. Bridget: No, baby -- everything hurts. I'm so sorry. Dante: You have nothing to be sorry about, okay? Bridget: I really wanted to be at the ceremony last night. Dante: I wanted that, too. Hey, look, you know, the gallery owner is coming by Forrester later to give me the award -- maybe you could come -- Bridget: Honey, I can't. I can't. Dante: I understand. Okay, I'll see you later, okay? Bridget: Okay. Dante: Hey, I found this on the deck. Were you expecting a package from the pharmacy? Bridget: Oh, I told my dad about the sunburn. He must have sent something over. Dante: Good, at least you'll be taken care of. Bridget: Oh, yeah. That's right. You don't need to worry about me. Dante: Okay. Bridget: Bye. Dante: Bye. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: Wow. It's a big risk you're taking, making a big public announcement like this. I kinda thought you and Brooke might be eloping or something. Nick: Why? Taylor: Well, Ridge is the kind of man who usually gets his way, and if he's got Stephanie helping him, then I think you might have little bit of a reason to be concerned. Nick: I think she likes me. Taylor: Mm-hmm. Yeah, but for some reason, she's still trying to get Ridge's approval. In fact, she's trying to get the approval of the whole family. She might be somewhat vulnerable. Nick: Well, then it's a good thing I'll be around to look out for her. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: I think this is going to be probably the top ad campaign that we've ever launched. Brooke: We're not launching it. I told you, I made my decision. Stephanie: Did Nick make this decision for you? Brooke: Nick doesn't know anything about this. Stephanie: Are you afraid to tell him? Brooke: There's no reason to tell him. Because I'm not doing it. Stephanie: What are you talking about? It's a stunning ad. Please do not let his jealousy get in the way of your success, our success. Brooke: I'm not discussing this. Stephanie: Why? Because I'm right? Look, this is the fourth of July. Where's your free spirit, your sense of independence? Where's that reckless behavior that drove me crazy for years? Brooke: You should be happy I'm past all that. Stephanie: Past it? That's who you are. What are you talking about? You're not going to walk away from who you are? [SCENE_BREAK] Christian: You're planning something else. What is it, Felicia? [Felicia laughs] Felicia: I looked into it. It's nothing life-threatening. Christian: The sunburn wasn't enough? Felicia: After what she did to me? Poor little bridget's gonna get creamed. Bridget: Oh, God. Oh, this feels so good. [Felicia remembering] Felicia: Pardon me if I'm having difficulty feeling sorry for you. Bridget: I don't want your sympathy. I don't want anything from you. Felicia: No. Just my fiance Bridget: Bridget: Felicia, did you ever talk to me before you accepted his proposal? Felicia: My God, Bridget. You were the first person I called. You congratulated me. Bridget: You're right. I did. I'm sorry. I should have been honest with you. I should have. But you know what? If you had been honest with yourself, none of this none of this would be happening. I know that you realize deep, deep down that he really wants to be with me. Dante: Hey. Felicia: Hey. Dante: I saw your doctor walking out of here. Are you okay? Felicia: Better now that you're here. How's Bridget? Dante: She still has a horrible sunburn. She can barely move. Felicia: Oh, that's too bad. Pierre: Monsieur damiano? Dante: Pierre! Marguerite! Please, come on in. Pierre: How are you? Dante: Good, how are you? Pierre: Good, good. Marguerite: We hope you had a nice time last night. Dante: Oh, it was a wonderful gallery. Do you remember Felicia Forrester? Pierre: Yeah, of course. Beautiful as always. Felicia: Merci. Marguerite: If you would not mind, a few words about your art? Dante: Of course. Pierre: It's for the gallery brochure. Dante: Yeah, of course. Marguerite: How did you and mademoiselle Forrester meet? Dante: We met in Europe. Felicia: In a disco. We were dancing. Dante: Well, you were dancing. Felicia: On top of a table. Pierre: That's how she caught your eye? [Laughter] Felicia: More than his eye. Marguerite: Excuse me? Felicia: Yeah. Dante: You know what? Did I mention that we have a son together? Pierre: Meaning that you're a couple? Dante: Uh, no. Felicia: We were. A few weeks ago we were engaged. Made it all the way to the altar, and then he dumped me for my sister. Yeah, you know the artistic type -- always looking for a new inspiration. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: You're not feeling very generous towards Brooke right now. I understand. Taylor: No, I just want you to be aware of what you're getting yourself into. Nick: Unlike you, getting involved with her father. The way he played you and my mother? It's just not right. Taylor: Me and Jackie? Nick: Yeah, he sleeps with her, makes a play for you. Taylor: Really? Nick: I'm sorry. I didn't realize -- I just assumed you knew. Brooke: I'm marrying Nick because I love him. Stephanie: You love your daughter, too. Brooke: I see what you're getting at, and you're way off base. Stephanie: You don't want Bridget to be happy? Brooke: That has nothing to do with marrying nick. Stephanie: You don't want to be happy? Brooke: Oh, Stephanie, you don't even know what he does for me. You just can't see it. Stephanie: Oh, I see it. And I hear what he says. And I heard about the ultimatum, the two strikes. He should be embarrassed by that, not you. Brooke: Nick is reacting to you. To you and to Ridge. And everything you've done to come between us and ruin our relationship. So no, I don't blame nick. I don't blame him for the way he's acting. I blame you. Stephanie: I'm not standing here in judgment of you, Nick is. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: So you really didn't know about my mother and Stephen? Taylor: No. It doesn't matter anyway. He left town. Nick: Probably for the best. Taylor: Well I told him from the beginning it wasn't gonna work for us. Nick: So you're okay? Taylor: I'm just surprised. Nick: Yeah, me, too. I guess you never really know some people as well as you think you do. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: Don't think you can ignore me. I want you to look at this. The woman in this photo is proud of who she is. Brooke: It's a beautiful photograph. Stephanie: It's who you are -- proud, confident, open. Brooke: So I guess if I don't use that photo, I'm none of those things. Stephanie: You're afraid of losing Nick because he doesn't understand. He doesn't understand a campaign like this. Brooke: Most men wouldn't, Stephanie. Stephanie: Ridge does. Brooke: That's because he understand this business. Stephanie: Okay, look, I was late coming to the parade, but I get it now. I look at this photograph through Ridge's eyes. And I understand it. I appreciate it. I know it's something to be celebrated. And I see a woman who's completely comfortable in her own skin. A woman that I'm happy to -- and proud to have represent the company and the family. Brooke: Well, it's very kind of you to say all those things. Stephanie: I'm sorry I didn't say them sooner, before you got engaged. Then I could have spared you all this heartbreak. Brooke: Oh, Stephanie. I'm fine! Stephanie: He doesn't get you, Brooke. He's never going to get you. You marry Nick, you're going to regret it the rest of your life. [SCENE_BREAK] Pierre: Marguerite? The medallion. Marguerite: Mais oui. Dante Damiano, it is our honor to award you with this medal of artistic achievement. Dante: Thank you. Felicia: Wow. Pierre: Bravo. Felicia: It's beautiful. Dante: Thank you very much. Felicia: Congratulations, Dante. Dante: I couldn't have done it without you. Felicia: Yeah, I get my heart broken and you get a medal. Some people have all the luck. Bridget: My face is numb. So numb! Oh, my God. I can't feel anything. Oh, God. It's numb. My face is numb! Oh, my God. [SCENE_BREAK] [Brooke remembering] Stephanie: What are you talking about? It's a stunning ad. Please do not let his jealousy get in the way of your success, our success. Nick: Who's up for lunch? Brooke: Oh -- oh, my gosh, I still have so many calls to make. Nick: You don't have this planned yet? Brooke: No. I do. I mean, I just -- you know. I got a little sidetracked. Nick: Well, the honeymoon's all set. Brooke: Really? Where are we going? Nick: Secret. Brooke: Well, at least you can tell me how long we're gonna be gone so I can make arrangements at work. Nick: Yeah, work. Listen, I want to talk to you about work. I think I've been a pretty good sport, don't you? Given what's gone on with the Forresters and Ridge. The fashion show. Now the photo shoot. Brooke: Yeah. You've been very patient. Nick: I think it's time for you to start your own company. Brooke: Forrester Creations is my company. Nick: Now, Brooke, we had all the good intentions when we started out here. But let's be honest, this is weighing you down. It's weighing us both down. Brooke: I understand you not wanting me to work with Ridge. Nick: I don't want you to work with ridge. I respect that you two are parents. You have a bond together. But it ends there. Besides, you will have your hands full being Mrs. Dominick Marone. Call or go online today... [SCENE_BREAK] Christian: Felicia? Felicia: Hey, I thought you left? Christian: No, the award people didn't stay very long. Felicia: Yeah, I think I scared them off. Christian: Come on, you wanted to make Dante as uncomfortable as you made Bridget. Felicia: Trust me, Bridget's not uncomfortable. Bridget's not feeling a thing. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Hey, Bridget? Bridget? [Bridget slurs speech] Dante: Hey, I had to come home and show you this. Look at it. Look. [Bridget slurs speech] Bridget: Look at me! Look at me! Dante: You sound funny. What's wrong? Bridget: My face is numb! I can't feel anything. Dante: Bridget, you're drooling. [Bridget slurs speech] Bridget: My face, my face -- I can't feel my face. Call a doctor. Dante: You want me to call a doctor? Bridget: Yes. Yes, call Christian. Please hurry. Dante: I'll call Christian. Okay, okay. Bridget: My face is numb. I can't feel anything! Felicia: It's nothing really. It's just a little Botox cream I had shipped in from Europe. She's gonna come out of it looking younger. [Cell phone ringing] Christian: Dr. Ramirez. Dante? All right, all right. Just slow down. Tell me what happened. She can't move her face? Don't panic. Just sit tight. I'll be right there, okay? Look, I want you to stop this, right now. Okay? This is the last stunt you're gonna pull on Bridget. Felicia: Okay. Don't tell her it was me. [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: If you're concerned about Ridge -- Nick: I'm concerned about you. Brooke: He's not gonna try to pull anything. Nick: Well, I think he's done enough already, don't you? Brooke: He won't affect my role at Forrester. Nick: What is your role there, anyway? Brooke: I'm CEO. Nick: Well, then why do they have you modeling? Brooke: Because Brooke's bedroom is my line. And our promotions reflect that. Nick: And you have no problem with that? Lying around in your underwear to get them rich? Brooke: We profit, too. Nick: Well, I don't care about the money, Brooke. We don't need the money. For God's sake, I'll take care of you. Brooke: I don't want to be taken care of. I want to be loved and appreciated for who I am. Nick: Well, you are an amazingly talented and driven woman who doesn't need the Forresters or their company to feel like a success. Brooke: Well, I can't argue that. Nick: I don't want to argue about anything. Unless we can find a really fun way to make up. Brooke: Do you have any ideas? Nick: I got lots of ideas. Brooke: Tell me. [SCENE_BREAK] [Bell rings] Massimo: So this is where Dominick and Brooke are gonna get married, huh? Stephanie: Yes. Massimo: The ad people are working around the clock to get the "Brooke's bedroom or nothing at all" campaign up and running. Stephanie: Well, the photo is the key, you know. Massimo: Uh-huh, uh-huh. Ah, there it is, that's it. Okay, now, that's perfect. See? All right, he's gonna be standing over there, right? And he's not gonna be able to miss it. He's gonna look right at it. And by tomorrow morning, this ad will be taken down, and yours will replace it -- Stephanie: Perfect! Massimo: All right? Stephanie: Yes. Massimo: All right. Stephanie, we should have some fireworks here. Dominick should explode, and so should their marriage.
