Brooke questions the room. Bill says it is their room. They can act like they feel without anyone else knowing. They kiss. She pulls away and says they cannot do this. Bill tells her do not deny this. It is the only way .the only way he can stay with Katie. Steffy returns home to find Quinn cooking in her kitchen acting like nothing is wrong. Steffy tells her she told her once that she is not welcome here so get out of her house. Quinn says they are family. Steffy says yes she is married to Wyatt but not her. She is still upset with what she did with Liam. Maybe someday she will appreciate all Quinn did but right now is not the time. She and Wyatt get to pick who they want in their lives and right now it is not Quinn. Nicole tells Zende that she did forgive Sasha but she does not have to do it again. She wishes she did not feel this way but she does. She wants him to pass on the lingerie line. She would like to think Sasha has changed but she cannot know that for sure. Zende tells Ridge that he does not want to do the lingerie line. Ridge says he is sorry. He thought he, Nicole and Sasha had worked that out, but if that is what Zende wants then he will hire another guy. Sasha comes strutting out in her teeny lingerie and is surprised when Nicole tells her that Zende is upstairs turning down the job. She puts a guilt trip on Nicole not to deny Zende this opportunity that could lead to bigger and better things even at International. She says this is the kind of energy Ridge wants and she is comfortable with her own body. Ridge and Zende come in and Ridge says there has been a change of plans. He will bring in another photographer. Sasha speaks up and says that is not necessary. He can keep Zende and just get another model. Quinn tries to explain to Steffy when Wyatt walks in that she is only trying to be family yet Steffy does not want her there. Brooke tells Bill it was all a mistake. He says no, he cannot work, he cannot do anything without thinking about her. He does not know what will happen tomorrow; all he knows is what is right now and how they feel. Slowly she kisses him. The next thing they are on the bed with him covering her with kisses. He tells her that he loves her and he knows she loves him too. This is the only thing that keeps him sane so one way or the other he will be with her .either like this or he will leave Katie and be with Brooke full time. Zende tells them that work is not his only priority. Sasha says this is his legacy. Ridge says usually people are begging him for this position but it is up to Zende. Zende stays put and says Sasha should accept the job but without him. Gently Wyatt tries to tell Quinn that she can't keep coming over here as Steffy does not want her there. Quinn still argues that she is just trying to make amends and Wyatt is her son and Steffy cannot cut her out of his life too. Steffy says saying she is sorry just does not cut it. Quinn begs Wyatt to give her a second chance but with his guidance she finally leaves.
Brooke: This isn't right, what we're doing, this place. Bill: Is ours. We can be ourselves. We don't have to hide what we feel. Brooke: But you were just with Katie, talking about family and about loyalty and the commitment of marriage. Bill: I am committed to my family. And I always will be. But I can't live without you, Brooke. [SCENE_BREAK] [Door opens] Steffy: [Sniffs] Mmm! What are you cooking? It better not be fattening. Helen just fit me for that award thing. [Gasps] Quinn: Oh, darling [Scoffs] you have nothing to worry about. Steffy: What are you doing here? [SCENE_BREAK] Sasha: You know, I really can't thank you enough for this, Ridge. Ridge: Oh, stop it. Don't thank me. You deserve it. And I've been trying to rework this whole lingerie line for a long time, and now I've got the team to do it. Sasha: [Chuckles] Ridge: Do me a favor. Go downstairs, see Zende, and take some test shots right away. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: After everything that Sasha has done, I just can't trust her, Zende. Zende: I get that, you know? But, well, y-you're trying to forgive her, though, right? Nicole: Yeah, but that doesn't mean I have to let her do it again. Zende: I agree. But this is business, all right? And this is a great opportunity. Nicole: Yeah, and Sasha may see it that way, too. I'm sorry. I wish I didn't feel this way, but I do. I need you to pass on the lingerie line. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: I want to believe that Sasha's changed. But I don't think having her model in lingerie for my boyfriend is the best way to test that out. And I know you can be professional. You're an amazing photographer, and you deserve this shot. It's a big deal. But it also feels like tempting fate. Things have been so good between us. And I just don't want anything to mess that up. Zende: Okay. I'll tell Ridge that I can't take the offer. Listen, if you don't want me working on the lingerie line with Sasha, then I won't. Nicole: Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Quinn: The last time we saw each other, we said a lot of things we didn't mean. So I-I just thought that we could sit down as mother and daughter-in-law and, you know, clear the air. Steffy: I told you you're not welcome here, and I meant it. Now go. Get out of my house. [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: [Breathing heavily] What are you doing, Bill? Stop. Bill: The door's locked. No one knows we're here. Brooke: No. This is crazy. We can't do this. Bill: Okay, we are doing it. Brooke: [Sighs] You said hiding our feelings was hurting Katie. Bill: And denying our feelings is hurting us. It hasn't been easy, Brooke. Katie, the -- the lying, the -- the drinking. But you know what? It isn't about Katie. It's about you. I love you. And I know you love me, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Ridge: Hey. I just sent Sasha downstairs. Zende: Okay, I'll find her when we're done. Uh, I wanted to tell you... I'm -- I'm sorry, Ridge. I can't take your offer. I can't work on the lingerie line with Sasha. [SCENE_BREAK] Sasha: Hey, uh, where's Zende? Nicole: Upstairs... telling Ridge that he's not gonna shoot the lingerie line. Sasha: Because of you? Nicole: Actually, because of you. Sasha: [Chuckles] You don't want him working with me so much that you convinced him to turn it down? You still don't trust me? [SCENE_BREAK] Ridge: You know a campaign like this could make your career. Zende: Yes. And your confidence in me means a lot to me. But Nicole's put her faith in me, too. Ridge: And you know what? I thought this was maybe gonna be a problem, but Sasha said she and Nicole had worked things out. Zende: I don't know. Maybe not as well as she thought. Look, Unc, Sasha will do a great job. I just can't be a part of it. Ridge: All right. I respect that. I'm gonna hire someone else... if that's really what you want. [SCENE_BREAK] Sasha: You said you would give me another chance. Nicole: It's only been a few days. And now, suddenly, you're modeling lingerie for my boyfriend. Sure know how to seize the opportunity, don't you? Sasha: Okay, look. The lingerie campaign was Ridge's idea, all right, not mine. Nicole: And I hope you get to keep it. But Zende won't be photographing you. Sasha: Nicole, Ridge is offering us a-a signature campaign. I mean, we're gonna be a household name. This is an international job. Who knows where that could lead? Nicole, this is the big break that Zende has been waiting for. Please, don't take that away from him just because of me. [SCENE_BREAK] Quinn: We need to deal with this, Steffy. We need to get past all this animosity, because like it or not, we're family! Steffy: No, I-I'm married to Wyatt. That does not mean I have to have a relationship with you. Quinn: Okay, you're still upset. Steffy: Y-You're damn right, I'm still upset! You manipulated me! You manipulated Liam and Wyatt! You twisted all of our lives for this crazy agenda! Quinn: I'm sorry. I take full responsibility for what happened with Liam, but... I didn't make you fall in love with Wyatt. I didn't force you to accept his proposal. Steffy, you married my son because he makes you happy and -- Steffy: Stop. Stop. I don't want to hear it, how it all worked out for the best, and maybe someday, I'm gonna realize that -- that you helped. I am done talking about this. Wyatt and I, we decide who gets a place in our lives. And right now, Quinn, you don't have one. [SCENE_BREAK] Bill: We need this. Brooke: Bill, this isn't like before. Katie hasn't given up on your marriage. Bill: And neither will I, as long as I can be with the woman I love, and that's you. Brooke: Don't talk like this. Bill: It's true. I know you feel the same way. Brooke: I'm not gonna say it. Bill: You're not doing anything wrong. You're keeping me sane. I-I can't live this way anymore. I can only stay with Katie if we keep this secret. One way or another, we will be together, like this, or I leave Katie. Brooke: No! Bill: Then don't deny this, Brooke. It's the only way. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: You're gonna stand here dressed like this and try to convince me that this is a good idea? Sasha: Hey, look, I'm comfortable in my body. I mean, maybe if you weren't so uptight -- Nicole: Uptight? Sasha: Look, Nicole, this lingerie is beautiful. And I feel beautiful in it. And that's the kind of energy that Ridge wants. That's the campaign, and we can give it to him. I'm asking you again. Please, just don't deny Zende this opportunity. Ridge: Sasha, there's been a change in plans. Sasha: Tell him you are not gonna stand in his way. Zende: I've decided not to take the lingerie gig. Sasha: Yeah, Nicole -- Nicole told me. Zende: Don't worry, though. This doesn't have to affect you. Ridge: I can have another photographer come in. Sasha: You're not gonna need another photographer. But you will need to find another model. [SCENE_BREAK] Quinn: Don't be ridiculous. Oh, Steffy, come on. Look, I know I'm not your favorite person right now, but I'm Wyatt's mother! My place in his life is permanent. Steffy: I don't want you here. Quinn: Oh, look. We got to -- We got to be able to find some common ground, right? I mean, our -- our love for Wyatt and our -- our devotion for family, and we're both creative, ambitious women! I mean, we got to work this out, you know? For Wyatt's sake, there -- there's got to be a way to -- to get along. Wyatt: Mom? Steffy: Did you know she was gonna be here? Wyatt: No. Why? What did she do? Quinn: No, I didn't do a-- I made lunch. Look. [Scoffs] I-I was just trying to explain to Steffy there's no reason for all this tension and -- and animosity, because we're family. And I know how important that is to you. So -- So just tell her, honey. Please just tell her how you want me in your life. [Chuckles] [SCENE_BREAK] Bill: Think of everything we've been through, everything we meant to each other. We had an incredible love story. [Flashback] [Camel grunts] [Present time] Bill: But it ended too soon. And now we can have it back again. Brooke: I love my sister. Bill: I dream about you. I can't work. You're all I think about. Brooke: We made a mistake. Bill: It wasn't! It wasn't. The mistake was thinking that we could survive without this. The other night, the way we were together, it was the most alive we've felt in years. Admit it. Something in you woke up. We can't let that slip away again. We don't know what tomorrow will bring. All we have is us... right here. This is where we belong. This is how we want to feel. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: Nobody's asking you to quit, Sasha. Zende: I already told Ridge I'm not taking the gig. Ridge: Guys, usually when I make an offer like this, I have people fighting over it, not the other way around. Sasha: Did you tell him why? Zende: Work isn't my only priority. Sasha: This isn't just work for you, Zende. You're an artist, just like your parents and Ridge and Eric. This is your legacy. And believe me, I love being a print model more than anything. Really, I mean, it -- it -- [Sighs] It's more than anything I could ever hope for. Ridge: It's your call, man. Zende: You're right, Sasha. Look, I am a Forrester. And I will get other opportunities to prove myself in this business. I'll get another shot, all right? But this is yours, okay? You need to take it. Sasha: [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: [Moans] Bill. [Sighs] Can we just... Just hold me for a second, okay? You're right. You're so right. I do want this. But it has to stop. Bill: I'm not living without you. I'll leave Katie if that's how it has to be, but I'm not giving you up. Brooke: No. No, you're not leaving Katie. And you're not leaving your son. Bill: And I'm not leaving you. I have tried, Brooke. I've -- I've been supportive. I have been loyal, I mean, through Katie's drinking and the temper tantrums and the insecurities and -- [Sighs] I've tried. I've tried. I will do what you want. I will stay with Katie. I will be a devoted father. Of course I'll be a devoted father. But you and I, what we feel, it's just -- It's fundamental. It's like hunger. It's like -- It's like breathing. I need you. And you need me, too. Brooke: I've never felt better. And at the same time, I've -- I've never felt worse. [SCENE_BREAK] Wyatt: You can't just show up like this. You know how Steffy feels. Quinn: Well, I'm trying to change that. Wyatt: Well, breaking in isn't the way to do it. Quinn: I didn't break in. I have a key! Steffy: We'll need that back. Wyatt: Yeah. Quinn: I-I was just trying to apologize. Steffy: Sorry doesn't cut it. You deliberately tried to manipulate my life, and you knew what you were doing and why. Quinn: I was doing it out of love. Steffy: I can't. I can't listen to this. Wyatt, do something about it. Quinn: I -- Wyatt: Mom, you need to go. This isn't helping at all. Quinn: No, I'm trying to show her that I'm not the monster that Liam keeps ranting about. Steffy: Liam didn't turn me against you! You did that all on your own! And this whole "friends" routine is making me more concerned about you, not less. Quinn: Okay, so, then what am I supposed to do? I-I have been understanding. I've been patient. But you won't listen. I -- Wyatt, please, just -- just tell her that I'm sorry. I know what I did was wrong! I do! Steffy: You say that, but how am I supposed to trust it? Quinn: Wyatt trusts me. Don't you, honey? Steffy: Wyatt thought you were better! He thought you were stable and content. But the whole time, you were holding Liam hostage. Quinn: No, no, no, no, no. That wasn't an act, okay? I was happy I was happy that my son was -- was with the woman that he's supposed to be with. I fought so hard for the two of you to be together because I knew you belonged together. I admire you, Steffy. I'm so proud to call you my daughter-in-law. And I know you don't feel that way about me right now, but I-I just -- I just want you to give me a chance! Steffy: Wyatt... I hate putting you in this position. But I can't stop thinking about what Quinn has done. I don't want her in our lives, not now, not ever. Quinn: Wyatt, Wyatt, no. Come on. We can get along. Please, just -- just talk to her. Make her understand. Wyatt: Steffy is my wife. This is her house. And if she doesn't want you here, then you have to go. And don't come back. Quinn: No. Wyatt, please. Wyatt: Mom -- Quinn: Don't let her do this. Don't let her come between us. Wyatt: I'm sorry, but you know what? I think you need to go right about now. Quinn: Wait. Wyatt, please. Please, just give me a chance! Wyatt: Goodbye. Quinn: [Sighs] Steffy: I know that was hard on you. Thank you.
