"I now pronounce you man and .horse," says the minister. The wedding was just about complete when Brooke shows up right behind her horse. She tells the minister that there will be no wedding today. Stephanie and Taylor advise her to leave, but she will not go until Ridge hears everything. She spills everything that Steffy has been doing with the text messages. Thomas and Steffy confess they intervened because of Brooke's obsession. Brooke doesn't care that he is committed to Taylor and their family. She is not sorry for what she did to get him and her family back. Ridge asks everyone to please leave; he wants to speak only to Taylor and Brooke. Taylor apologizes for Steffy, but she understands why she did it since Brooke would not let go. Brooke asks Ridge if this is really what he wants as she doesn't believe it is. They have always been able to work through anything and it's not too late now. Steffy apologizes to Marcus since Brooke is his aunt. He says it's okay; he understands. Eric tells Stephanie that he and Donna are going to let Ridge work this out with no interference. Stephanie should heed that advice too. She dismisses them by saying she will not sit by while Brooke wrecks havoc on her family. Whip calls Jackie to borrow some soy sauce. She's surprised to learn that he has just rented the apartment above her. Over lunch he tries to find out more about her and how she met Owen. Talking to her he gets a brilliant inspiration  the grande dame and beach girl all rolled into one. Steffy tells Thomas that their dad will not go to Brooke. He can't hurt their mom this way. Stephanie accuses Donna of knowing this was going to happen. She should go get Brooke to leave so they can finish the ceremony. Donna tells Stephanie that it is really up to Ridge, but she thinks he will pick Brooke. Brooke tells Ridge that he needs to take time to think. Only marry Taylor if he loves her more than he loves Brooke. And there is not a shadow of a doubt in her mind that he still loves Brooke. She doesn't want him to make the same mistake that she did in telling him to go to Taylor. She is sorry that she threw everything away, but their love is stronger than anything they ever faced. If he can just tell her that, she will leave him alone and never see him again. She just wants to hear him say it. She can live with his decision.
Brooke: (Breathes heavily) (Horse neighs) Brooke: Surprised to see me, Steffy? Taylor: What are you doing here, Brooke? I want you to leave. Brooke: No! Stephanie: You are not welcomed here. Brooke: Oh, it looks like I got here just in time. Taylor: How dare you do this? We are having a wedding here. Stephanie: This is outrageous. Take that horse and get the hell out of here. Brooke: You had a hand in this, too, didn't you, Stephanie? Taylor: A hand in what? Brooke: Do you want to tell them, Steffy, or should I? Stephanie: Don't say one word, Steffy. Brooke, get the hell out of here. Brooke: I am not leaving until Ridge hears everything that's been going on. [SCENE_BREAK] Jackie: Hello? Whip: Do you have any soy sauce down there? Jackie: Who's this? Whip: Your new neighbor. Jackie: Whip? Whip: (Laughs) Yeah. Come on up. I have lunch all ready. Jackie: Um... come up? Whip: Yeah, one--one floor, just a-above your loft. Jackie: (Gasps) Oh, you took the apartment. Whip: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all official. Jackie: You're living above me? Whip: Yes. It's our own personal version of "Upstairs, Downstairs." Jackie: (Laughs nervously) Um, okay, I'm coming up. Whip: Okay, great. Hey, don't forget the soy sauce. [SCENE_BREAK] (Horse neighs) Brooke: (Sighs) Ridge: Logan, why are you all muddy? And what's with the horse? Brooke: (Sighs) Ridge, I came all the way from Point Dume. I thought I was meeting you there. I've been texting you constantly for the last two days. Ridge: I haven't gotten any messages from you at all. Brooke: I know. You didn't get any of my messages. They didn't go to your phone, isn't that right, Steffy? Ridge: Wait, wh--wh--what does Steffy have to do with this now? Brooke: Because I have been sending you messages, and they've been forwarded to Steffy, and she was responding to me, and I thought that it was you, and you said to "Meet me at Point Dume at our special spot" because you said we were gonna be getting back together. Ridge: What? Wh-- Brooke: Yes, yes. She intercepted my calls. And I only found out because I called, and her voicemail picked up. And she must have had it turned off before, because-- Stephanie: Are you going to let this lunacy continue? Brooke: She knew if you got my messages there wouldn't be a wedding today. [SCENE_BREAK] Whip: Ah, good, the soy sauce. Just in time. Jackie: (Laughs) Whip: Come on in. Jackie: Wow. I-I just can't believe this. I mean, you actually took the place. It's-- Whip: I told you how much I love this building. Jackie: Yeah. (Laughs) So you're living right above me. Whip: Yep, yep. Jackie: (Chuckles) Whip: It's great for work and everything, you know? Jackie: Oh, yeah. Whip: Here, have a seat. Jackie: Oh, thanks. Oh, well, hello. (Laughs) Whip: Sorry, the chairs are still in the truck. Jackie: What? You--you actually moved yourself? Whip: Well, the day I can't move myself is the day that I have too much stuff. Jackie: Oh, that's very wise. Oh, look, Kyoto. Whip: (Imitating Japanese man) Oh, hey, Kyoto. (Normal voice) Yeah. Boy, do I miss that place. Jackie: Yeah, it's a lovely city, isn't it? Got lovely people. So... tell me, what would you have done if my husband had been home when you called? Whip: Oh, there's enough for three. Jackie: You knew he was out surfing with his friends. Whip: Jackie, I have been moving. I haven't had time to keep up with Owen's whereabouts. Jackie: Uh-huh. I'm sure. Whip: So how'd you find this place? It's a--it's a real score. Jackie: Actually, my realtor found it for me. Owen told me to take it. Whip: You're kidding? Jackie: Mnh-mnh. He said I needed to shake up my life a bit. Whip: He definitely was right. I mean, it's--it's great. It's style, class, a little bohemian. Jackie: (Laughs) Whip: That guy never ceases to amaze me. Jackie: Really? Whip: Yeah. How did-- let me ask you a question. How did you guys meet? Jackie: (Laughs nervously) [SCENE_BREAK] Ridge: Is this true, Steffy? You intercepted my messages? Thomas: Dad, I did it. Ridge: How? Thomas: On the computer. Steffy: (Sighs) We were trying to break your addiction from her, because that's what this is. She knew you were marrying Mom, but she doesn't care. She doesn't even respect your decision. Thomas: She kept sending these pathetic messages, so Steffy and I intervened. Stephanie: Oh, look, it doesn't matter, because nothing changes. She's still going to stand there and try and talk you out of marrying Taylor, which she has done over and over again for years. Steffy: Dad, I-I-I-I shouldn't have done it, and I know it was wrong, but I can't risk losing you again. I've already lost too much this year. And she wouldn't give you up. And I asked her, please, just leave you alone, but she doesn't care about me or Mom or Thomas. All she does is care about herself and what she wants. And of course, she wants you again. And you committed yourself to Mom and to our family. We could be happy. We could have a happy family together, and I wouldn't let Brooke ruin it. Dad, you already said your vows. This wedding is virtually over, if you just finish it. Ridge: Taylor, I want to talk to you and Brooke. Stephanie: Ridge, you don't have to do this. Ridge: Can the rest of you please give us a moment alone here? Thorne: What the hell? Steffy: I owe you an apology. Stephanie: No, you don't. You did the right thing. Let's just hope your father does the same. Taylor: Ridge, I--yes, it--it was wrong for Steffy to have tampered with the phone, and... (Scoffs) I can understand it in a way, because she was scared, Ridge. She was afraid that Brooke wouldn't listen, because she knows her. She knows that Brooke doesn't know when to stop. And even if Ridge had seen those messages, it wouldn't have mattered anyway, because he's already committed to me and to our children. We're a family. Brooke: Is that true? Are you committed to Taylor? Do you really want to go through with this marriage? Because I don't believe that you do. [SCENE_BREAK] Jackie: Oh. Barolo... Whip: Yeah. Jackie: It goes so well with Japanese food. (Laughs) Whip: Don't tease. We needed something big. Jackie: Mm, mm. Well, the Italians, they definitely make big wines. Speaking of Italy, what about the photo shoot? Whip: No, no, no, speaking of nothing. We were speaking about you and Owen and how you guys met. Jackie: Oh, yeah, we were. (Chuckles) Well, um, I met him at the office, and I found him very attractive. Whip: And of course he found you the same. Jackie: Hmm. Well, yeah. Well, then I, uh, I bought the loft, and he moved in with me. Whip: Just like that? Jackie: Sort of. Actually, it was crazy, but it felt right. Whip: And then you, uh, you fell in love with him. Jackie: We have a lot of fun. Whip: That doesn't exactly answer my question. Jackie: You didn't phrase it as a question. And do you really want to know if I'm in love with my husband? Whip: You're a handful, you know that? Jackie: (Chuckles) Owen has wonderful hands. Whip: Yes, and so quick. Jackie: Owen's the best thing that ever happened to me... truly. He makes me feel... like I am a grand dame and--and a beach girl all at the same time. Every day I ju-- Whip: That's--that's-- that's brilliant. That's brilliant. Jackie: What? Whip: It's the--the-- the whole--the grand dame and--and the beach girl-- it's --it's--it's wonderful. Get both ends of the spectrum. I just want to get some notes down, that's all. Jackie: Do you ever punch out the clock? Whip: No, not when I'm around you, lady. You definitely inspire me. Jackie: Well, can you just sit down for a minute, and we can have a drink, do a toast to another brilliant inspiration brought to you by yours truly? Whip: I'd like nothing better. Jackie: Good. (Glasses clink) [SCENE_BREAK] Thorne: Hey. How you holding up? Thomas: Well, I'm feeling pretty stupid. Thorne: (Laughs) Actually, I'm proud of you. Thomas: We were desperate. Felicia: You were trying to hold your family together, so you'd do just about anything. Thorne and I know all about that. Thorne: Hmm. Thomas: Well, I hope it wasn't all for nothing, now that Brooke's back in the mix. [SCENE_BREAK] Marcus: Hey, girl. Steffy: Hey. Marcus, I'm so sorry. Marcus: Sorry about what? Steffy: Well, Brooke's your aunt. Marcus: Hey, you don't have to apologize to me, okay? I mean, you've been through a lot this year. Just know that I'm here for you, all right? Steffy: Thank you. Marcus: Come here. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: This is inexcusable, inexcusable that she would interrupt this wedding. Eric: I care for Taylor as much as anybody else does. She's a remarkable woman. But it's our son's happiness that's at stake here. Look, I still believe that he belongs with Brooke. Stephanie: Well, I don't agree with you. H-he hasn't been happy with her for months and months. Donna: Look, the bottom line is it's Ridge's decision. Stephanie: Right. And he's already made his decision. Donna: Well, maybe things would have been different if he had seen the messages from Brooke. Eric: (Sighs) All right. That's enough. Here's how it's gonna be. We're gonna let our son make his own decision. And we're all gonna do it, all of us, we, and that means you, too, Stephanie. Stephanie: Look, I don't care what you do. That's your business. But I'm not gonna sit by and watch her sabotage their happiness. [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: (Sighs) Darling, we haven't even been married a year. And yes, we've had problems, but-- Ridge: Problems, Logan? Problems? Rick wasn't just a problem. He was a disaster. Brooke: Taylor, can we talk about this alone? Taylor: Are you out of your mind? This is my wedding day. Brooke: Do you really want Ridge if he really wants me? Taylor: He doesn't. And I'm not leaving. Ridge: Brooke, just say what you've gotta say here. You know how I feel. Your son drove a wedge between us, and you just refused to see what was happening. To make it worse, he used Steffy to get to me. Finally, the gulf between us was so wide, I don't know how we could ever get past it. That's when you told me to pursue my happiness with Taylor and our kids. Brooke: Yes, I-I acted in haste stupidly. We could've withstood this, Ridge. We can withstand anything. You know that as well as I do. Look... (Sighs) I don't mean to cast blame or anything like that, but it wasn't entirely my fault. I'm not the one who took drugs and slept with somebody else. Ridge: Okay, that was not right. Taylor and I both know that it shouldn't have happened the way it did. Brooke: No, I know, but that's exactly what I'm trying to say. Ridge, you and I have always been able to get through things, and we can get through this. It's not too late to do that. [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: (Sighs) Thomas: Do you think Dad will come out and announce he's back with Brooke? Steffy: He won't do that. Thomas: We don't know that, Steffy. Steffy: (Sighs) Do you think we made it even worse? Thomas: Well, I've been wondering the same thing. Steffy: Dad's not gonna go back to Brooke. He can't hurt Mom like that, okay? Thomas: Well, I hope he doesn't. Steffy: He's gonna finish this wedding. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: Did you know your sister was gonna pull this stunt? Donna: If I'd have known, would I have come to this wedding? Stephanie: Probably, just so you could watch the whole fiasco. Donna: Don't bait me, Stephanie. Nobody is getting pleasure out of any of this. Stephanie: If you really wanna help, why don't you try and talk her into leaving so they can continue with the ceremony? Donna: I can't do that. It's up to Ridge and Brooke right now. Stephanie: But they're never--Rick is never gonna let them survive as a couple. Donna: They have survived worse. Stephanie: No, they haven't. That's why he's chosen Taylor, because she gives him something that your sister can never give him--stability. Donna: Well, maybe they'd have more stability if you didn't constantly interfere. Stephanie: Listen to me. That relationship isn't going to work because it's broken. Donna: It is up to Ridge to decide what he wants and who he wants. And I believe he's gonna choose my sister. [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: I'm sorry I put you through this. But I couldn't let you marry Taylor when I know it's not really what you want. Taylor: So you think you know everything Ridge wants? Do you think he really wants more pain and--and misery and trauma from your son? Brooke: We share more than that, Taylor. We have a beautiful son together. We have beautiful memories, and we had an amazing wedding on the beach, if you recall. We are married. Taylor: Not technically. Brooke: And not technically neither are you. Taylor: Well, that wouldn't be the case if you hadn't barged in here and crashed our wedding, would it, Brooke? Otherwise we would be married. Brooke: But you're not married, not right now. (Sighs) Ridge, please, just take the time to think about this. Only marry Taylor if you love her more than you love me. Don't make the same mistake of marrying her because you're upset. It won't last, and you know it. Taylor: Ridge, it is not a mistake for us to be married. We belong together. The only mistake you've ever made was trying to believe that you could have a normal marriage with her. Brooke: Is that what you think? You think that our marriage was a mistake, that our feelings for each other and everything we've said, everything we felt was wrong, meaningless? I was there this morning, Ridge, at the beach, at our special spot, waiting for you, because Steffy left me that message saying that you were gonna meet me there. And I waited, and I waited, and then I realized that that message was a fake. So I rode like the wind to get here to stop the wedding. 'Cause believe me, I never would have done something like that and spoiled your wedding to Taylor if I weren't certain beyond a shadow of the doubt that you were still in love with me. And if this isn't true, just tell me, and I'll turn around, I'll walk out that door, and I'll let you be with Taylor. 'Cause all I ever wanted, Ridge, was for you to be happy. That's why I told you to go live with Taylor in the first place. But I made a rash decision. It was a mistake. I just don't want you to do the same thing. Brooke: I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I gave up on us and I lost faith in us. I'm sorry that I threw away everything that we meant to each other and our feelings, the things that we said to each other. But I do realize now that nothing that we've been through, it's--it's not insurmountable. We can get through everything together, Ridge. We can. And our love is stronger than any of the problems we've ever faced. Now if you don't think that's true, then just tell me. You won't have to see me ever again. I promise. I just... (Sighs) I just really need to know the truth. I want you to tell me what it is that you really want. And I promise you, I can live with your decision. Just tell me.
