Bold and the Beautiful - 2009 (S22 E153) FULL EPISODE 5554

0:00 A miracle, Steph, what are you talking about?

0:06 Oh my god, Ridge and Brooke are not legally married.

0:10 Tell me about it, and they're going to be furious at me.

0:13 I mean, maybe things will be okay when they sign the new application.

0:16 How could I have been such a jerk to put in the wrong numbers?

0:21 These babies were meant to crochet.

0:23 Oh my god, honey.

0:25 They should never have asked you to fill this form out to begin with.

0:29 Let's um let's just keep this between ourselves for the time being.

0:36 Competition's in the building.

0:38 Alert security.

0:40 Hi, honey.

0:40 How are you?

0:43 [laughter]

0:42 I just came to see uh Pam.

0:44 Honestly, I'm not stealing anything.

0:49 Are those the papers you called me about?

0:52 Papers?

0:53 Oh oh yes, indeed-y, I have papers for you, Ridge, but not not these.

0:58 No, these actually are old recipes, you know, desserts I've made before,

1:02 but I think they're terrible, so I just stamp them invalid and file them away.

1:08 But you do have papers for me.

1:11 Didn't you say there was something that you

1:13 wanted him to sign for his upcoming fashion show?

1:17 right, the fashion show, the show papers, you know,

1:19 the show stopper papers, the show stopper approval forms.

1:24 For the wedding dress?

1:25 Wedding?

1:26 I I didn't say anything about a wedding.

1:28 Look, Dad's handling that design,

1:31 you probably need his signature on whatever that is.

1:34 Right, of course, I I'd need Eric's signature on that stuff.

1:39 Okay.

1:41 Well, I'm going to leave you, ladies.

1:42 I'm expecting a call.

1:43 All right, honey.

1:44 Okay, I'll talk to you later.

1:46 Okay.

1:46 Ciao.

1:47 Steph, what are you doing?

1:50 Why didn't you want me to tell him about it?

1:51 Because I need a little time to kind of think

1:53 this all through and how see how I want to handle it.

1:58 Your little screw up may be his salvation and Taylor's, too.

2:04 Mhm.

2:05 Oh.

2:08 [laughter] How did I let you slip away?

2:29 Oh my god, everything would be so different now.

2:34 Taylor's salvation?

2:36 Yes.

2:37 Yes.

2:38 Okay, I'm going to take the license.

2:40 You take all those applications, you shred them,

2:42 and shred anything else that you have like that.

2:44 This little gift of yours, my darling,

2:47 may enable me to get rid of those Logan girls forever.

2:52 Thank you.

2:56 No, I actually think it's for the best.

2:59 Not postponed, canceled, [music] permanently.

3:02 That wedding is not happening.

3:05 All right, thanks.

3:08 Relieved?

3:09 I can't even begin to tell you.

3:11 Yeah, well, it's too bad that we still have to see him around here.

3:14 You know, I can't stand that he is president of our company, Ridge.

3:17 I can handle seeing Rick around here at work,

3:20 knowing he's away from my daughter, finally.

3:21 I'm just so glad she finally caught on.

3:24 Question is, has Brooke?

3:26 Well, it's tough for her, he's her son, he's part of her.

3:30 How do you handle that, man?

3:31 I mean, the woman that you love forever connected to that arrogant jerk.

3:39 We made a commitment.

3:41 A commitment to each other, Thorne.

3:44 For better or worse, we've seen the worst, and it ain't pretty.

3:49 Our marriage gets us through.

3:53 Oh my god.

3:55 Didn't you make a promise to never come back here ever again?

3:58 Oh, yes, I did, but you know,

3:59 I just had a wonderful opportunity to come by and congratulate Ridge.

4:04 On what?

4:05 On the fact that the engagement between Steffy and Rick is finished.

4:09 I'm so relieved that she finally sees that little

4:12 son of a of yours for exactly what he is.

4:15 All right, let's not get into this.

4:19 The important thing is that it's over.

4:23 Ridge and I have a lot of work to do, so if you don't mind.

4:27 Does the fact that Ridge really dislike your son

4:31 has that started taking a toll on your relationship?

4:35 Marriages have challenges, Stephanie,

4:37 and Ridge and I are doing our best to work through ours.

4:40 Well, it must give you a tremendous sense

4:42 of security to know you have an unbreakable connection.

4:47 All right.

4:48 What is it?

4:50 You're up to something.

5:08 If we just go back to this time I'd do it all so different.

5:19 You know, Ridge, I have a I've been worried about you.

5:23 I mean, all this chaos with Rick,

5:24 it's it's really good to hear that your marriage is solid.

5:27 Well, when we were younger this incident

5:31 with Rick probably would have split us up.

5:33 Now that we're older, we're we understand each other, every move, every thought.

5:38 It's like we're finally in a place

5:39 in our marriage where everything just seems to work.

5:43 I envy you, man.

5:46 You know, every time I think that I don't know, man,

5:50 sometimes I wonder if it's too late, if I'll ever grow old with someone.

5:53 Oh, come on, Thorne.

5:55 And meanwhile, you have that relationship with two women.

5:58 [music] What are you talking about?

5:59 Oh, come on, man.

6:00 I see the way that you and Taylor relate.

6:02 I mean, you have the same understanding, you have the same communication.

6:07 It's like you're married to two women, Ridge.

6:10 Except one is legal and the other isn't.

6:15 I'm not up to anything.

6:16 I'm just offering you well,

6:18 commenting on your highly successful marriage and offering you uh my support,

6:23 which you've always craved.

6:26 Whatever.

6:28 However, I do think it's uh a good thing that he uh asked you

6:32 to marry him when he did because uh

6:34 with all of Rick's shenanigans that he's pulled,

6:36 I don't suppose Ridge would have proposed to you now.

6:39 You act like I trapped him into a marriage.

6:43 Ridge loves me, regardless of his feelings for my son,

6:46 and I love him, regardless of my feelings for his mother.

6:50 We're committed to each other for life, Stephanie.

6:53 I'm glad that you feel so comfortable and secure because

6:57 I certainly know how easily a marriage can fall apart.

7:01 Ridge and I aren't you and Eric.

7:03 Your marriage failed, and you are no longer the matriarch of this company.

7:07 It's time that you come to terms with that.

7:12 Oh, I don't know, I think uh most of the people

7:16 in the fashion world still look upon me as the matriarch of Forrester.

7:20 I don't think uh you know,

7:21 Eric having a little trophy wife doesn't mean a thing.

7:25 Mhm.

7:26 I'd argue that I was the one that was stepping into that position, not Donna.

7:30 After all, Ridge and I are the signature couple of this company.

7:34 Oh.

7:36 So, that's what you think.

7:38 And I suppose you think that, you know,

7:40 being married to Ridge sort of secures your position in this company forever.

7:46 Well, you see, when Ridge and I said our vows

7:48 to each other we were committing ourselves to each other,

7:51 but also to this company.

7:54 Now, I know that you've spent years trying to groom

7:57 your precious little Taylor into that position of the matriarch.

8:00 But that just didn't work out.

8:02 Ridge loves me.

8:04 And Ridge is married to me.

8:05 And I am the woman at the center of this company.

8:08 And we will continue to work I am as sure of that as I am Mrs.

8:15 Ridge Forrester today, tomorrow, and forever.

8:26 Well, good luck, Mrs.

8:27 um Ridge Forrester, the new self-proclaimed matriarch.

8:32 Luck might be what got Jackie M by.

8:35 Oh, don't be foolish.

8:39 Don't underestimate what's going to be accomplished over at Jackie M's.

8:45 Lingerie.

8:46 Ah.

8:47 What a surprise.

8:49 I'm gone 3 weeks and you turn the place into an underwear shop.

8:54 [laughter] Well, Mrs.

8:55 Ridge Forrester, when are you going to stop this seduction routine?

8:58 How much longer do you think you're going to be able to, you know,

9:00 fool around in these little things?

9:02 Till the day I die.

9:05 So long as I still feel sexy in them.

9:09 I think it's great that we're showcasing

9:11 lingerie again cuz Brooke's bedroom is profitable.

9:15 Life isn't just about profit.

9:17 But you never understood that.

9:19 You know what I do understand?

9:22 You don't belong here anymore, Stephanie.

9:24 Go back to Jackie M.

9:25 This is no longer your company.

9:28 You're right.

9:29 This is no longer my company.

9:31 And Eric is no longer my husband.

9:34 But you know, it's kind of interesting sometimes how things turn out in life.

9:40 When you think you, you know, you you have it all you get sloppy.

9:45 You forget to cross the T's and dot the I's,

9:48 and everything [music] that you think you've been

9:49 married to suddenly isn't what it seems to be,

9:51 and who you think you are, you really aren't.

9:57 That can happen to anyone.

10:00 Including you.

10:02 Little miss matriarch.

10:14 [music] Hey Pam.

10:25 Oh.

10:25 I heard my mother was here.

10:27 Oh, you know what?

10:28 You just missed her, Thorne.

10:30 I tell you to go chase her down in the parking lot,

10:32 but I don't think you're going to catch her.

10:34 She looked like a woman on a mission.

10:36 What kind of mission?

10:37 I'd say to get as far away from the Logan family as is humanly possible.

10:42 Ah, hard to blame her, I guess, huh?

10:44 Isn't it just awful around here without your mom?

10:47 To me it feels downright creepy.

10:49 Like there's a Logan lurking behind every corner.

10:54 Hello, Brooke.

10:56 I had no idea you were in there.

10:58 Have you by any chance had a chance to look at my crocheted purse designs?

11:01 I've just been waiting for your response to Just put it on my desk, okay?

11:05 I'll have a look at it tomorrow.

11:10 I put it on her desk twice already.

11:13 I don't think she gives a hoot about anything except the lingerie line.

11:16 Tell you Thorne, it's getting me a little crazy.

11:20 Okay, Pam, be careful.

11:21 Sweetheart, I don't mean that I would do [music] anything crazy.

11:26 Actually, I won't have to.

11:57 Hello, Logan.

11:58 Hi.

12:04 Everything okay?

12:06 Uh, I don't know.

12:08 Yeah, I I think so.

12:10 I I just had a bit of a run-in with your mother.

12:13 Oh, I bet that was lovely.

12:16 Yeah, it was weird.

12:18 I mean, she was kind of strange.

12:20 She said she came to see you, but I think she really just wanted to bait me.

12:23 Okay, do not do not let her get to you.

12:26 I won't.

12:31 I was just thinking about our wedding.

12:34 How nice it was.

12:35 Just the two of us on the beach saying our vows to each other.

12:42 I know it's been really tense between us for a while now.

12:46 It's just really important that we get through these difficult times.

12:51 I totally agree.

12:53 Just reminds us how much we really do love each other.

12:58 Okay, what uh what's bringing all this on here?

13:02 Uh Your mother, I guess.

13:05 She just said some [music] really bizarre

13:07 things about you and me and our marriage.

13:11 You know, I thought having a new job would keep her occupied.

13:15 Look, mother really doesn't like that [music] we're married.

13:20 But that's never going to change.

13:21 She's always going to do that.

13:22 So, let's not waste any energy thinking about it, okay?

13:25 Right.

13:27 She really would have wished that we never got married.

13:30 But, you know what?

13:32 We did.

13:33 And there's nothing that can come between us.

13:36 Ever.

13:41 Hi.

13:42 [snorts] Hi, Steph.

13:44 What you doing?

13:46 I just love looking at these old pictures.

13:48 Oh, let me see.

13:52 Oh, Steffy on her soccer team.

13:55 Mhm.

13:58 She had a wicked kick, that one.

14:01 [sighs] She probably still does.

14:03 You're right.

14:05 Kicked Brooke out of her life, didn't she?

14:07 Well, that took guts, but I'm glad she did it.

14:10 It did take courage.

14:12 She has that kind of courage because you are her mother.

14:17 And those character traits are going to get her through life.

14:20 And I don't want you to worry about her, either,

14:22 because she's going to find somebody wonderful one of these days.

14:25 Someone who will really love her.

14:28 Well, let's just hope she's not too much like me,

14:29 then, because uh I'm not doing too great in love department.

14:35 That's about to change.

14:38 Stephanie.

14:39 Yes.

14:41 Ridge is married to Brooke.

14:43 You know, I don't know why you keep pushing me

14:45 to to do something that I wouldn't want done to myself.

14:49 We have to respect the fact that they're married.

14:51 We have to accept that, Stephanie.

14:56 No, we don't.

15:00 [music] That one's really pretty.

15:06 Oh, I love that one.

15:08 Let me just try it on.

15:10 Nice.

15:11 You know what?

15:12 I'll I'll give it back to you later.

15:15 Hi, Thorne.

15:15 You know what?

15:16 I finished typing that memo for you.

15:18 Oh, thanks, Pam.

15:19 You didn't have to do that.

15:20 Oh, it's my pleasure.

15:22 Not like I have a whole heck of a lot else to do around here.

15:25 Nobody seems to even notice my crocheting anymore.

15:29 Brooke can't be bothered.

15:31 Rick's always too busy.

15:33 You know what Katie said to the PR department today?

15:36 Pretend that the Pam eating never even existed.

15:40 Maybe if I start crocheting teddies, I could get the Logan family to notice me.

15:46 Well, like it or not,

15:47 two of those Logans are married into this family, which gives them influence.

15:50 So, I wouldn't burn any bridges.

15:52 Yeah, but the balance of power can change in an instant, Thorne.

15:58 What are you talking about?

16:02 Uh uh Pam, Huh?

16:04 I think you typed in the wrong numbers here.

16:06 Oh, did I?

16:06 Yeah.

16:07 This column shouldn't have any outstanding numbers at all.

16:10 So, we need to take this five right here and move them to here, okay?

16:13 Oopsie-doopsie.

16:15 My clerical skills just aren't the best.

16:18 But, you know what?

16:19 Sometimes, that can be a plus.

16:39 Thorne, you know, there's not as many Logans married to Forresters as you think.

16:45 No, sirree, Bob.

16:49 I think things are beginning to change around here.

16:54 You're absolutely right.

16:55 We won't let anyone come between us.

16:59 I was just talking about this with Thorne.

17:03 Logan, our relationship is stronger than ever.

17:07 This is what marriage is.

17:08 Right here.

17:09 In the past, I would have been so insecure.

17:12 Struggling with my doubts about your mother and your issues with Rick.

17:18 But now I'm in a place that I know that doesn't matter.

17:22 Cuz you are my husband.

17:24 And I am your wife.

17:27 Forever.

17:39 You are one of the most moral and principled

17:43 people that I've ever known in my life.

17:45 You are not the kind of woman who would go after a married man.

17:48 I know that.

17:48 That's also because I have self-respect.

17:51 That's why I love you, and that's what makes you you.

17:53 Stephanie, please.

17:54 I don't want to go here with you.

17:56 You know how vulnerable I am to Ridge.

17:58 You know how much I wish that I could have my life with him.

18:00 The rest of our lives like we planned, but I'm being realistic.

18:04 Okay, here's a dose of reality from me.

18:07 I am not going to leave this world with my family in the state that it's in.

18:12 I am not going to check out until I know

18:15 that a person with a really strong moral compass is in charge.

18:21 And that is you.

18:23 I cannot see my family surviving without you.

18:28 Stephanie, you are still my friend.

18:30 You are still my confidant.

18:33 I just can't be your daughter-in-law anymore.

18:36 Okay.

18:39 What if Ridge and Brooke weren't married?

18:42 They've said vows.

18:44 Yes, on a beach.

18:46 All alone.

18:48 They went to city hall.

18:49 Yes, they went to city hall, and what good did it do them?

18:53 The marriage is invalid.

18:55 So, you don't have to feel guilty if you want to go after him.

18:58 The marriage is invalid.

19:00 [music] They are not married.
