Bold and the Beautiful - 2009 (S22 E165) FULL EPISODE 5566

0:00 Stephanie, Stephanie, I want to talk to you about If you were married to Brooke,

0:14 I wouldn't be able to do this, but you're not married to Brooke.

0:34 Maybe we can pick up where we left off.

0:54 It's over.

0:56 We can stop Eric and getting back together.

0:59 I hope to God that's true.

1:02 But we've been here before, haven't we, Brooke?

1:06 Where you said it was over and it wasn't.

1:10 I know.

1:11 But that's past us now.

1:15 The strain that's been on you and on us,

1:19 nothing's going to come between our marriage ever again.

1:27 Bill, thanks so much for coming by and meeting everyone.

1:29 I'm just delighted you did that.

1:30 No need to thank me.

1:31 It's my pleasure to be here.

1:32 I wanted to meet everyone.

1:34 And to see the Jackie M operation in action.

1:38 Quite a coup you pulled off, Nick, getting Stephanie over here.

1:42 Well, she certainly didn't make it easy.

1:43 Sit down, please.

1:44 I'm sure she didn't.

1:46 But she is quite an asset to your company.

1:48 Yes, and we all feel the same way.

1:51 Well, thank you, Jacqueline.

1:52 It's so nice to be appreciated.

1:54 Especially after being so unappreciated.

1:57 So, Bill, I um I hear at The Logan Chronicles that was your idea.

2:02 Yes, it was.

2:03 One of my better ones given all the buzz it's generating.

2:06 I know.

2:07 I'm delighted by it.

2:09 [laughter] But we can't rely for publicity just on the webcast.

2:11 Um I did finish writing up a couple more articles for you.

2:15 Wonderful.

2:15 The latest installments of The Logan Chronicles.

2:18 I can feel our readers salivating already.

2:21 With one notable exception.

2:23 Donna Logan dropped by my office earlier.

2:27 She told me in no uncertain terms to stop you.

2:31 Or else.

2:32 Say it isn't so.

2:35 How did you handle it?

2:37 I told her I'd do it if she'd do something for me.

3:03 Hey.

3:06 Where did you run off to?

3:10 Um I went to see Bill Spencer.

3:14 Donna, no.

3:16 Look, I don't need you to run run interference for me.

3:19 I know.

3:19 I know.

3:19 I'm sorry.

3:20 I know I shouldn't have gone.

3:23 Sorry.

3:26 Did he Come here.

3:27 Come here.

3:28 Come here.

3:31 Did he upset you?

3:36 Put it this way.

3:38 Bill Spencer is into helping one person, himself.

3:44 You tell me what happened over there.

3:46 What did Bill Spencer say to you?

3:52 You do realize you're speaking about my father's [music] wife.

3:57 I didn't say she took me up on my offer.

3:59 Not that you'd ever give up on it, right?

4:02 Never do.

4:04 Although on the off chance I do strike out with a buxom blonde,

4:07 how about I give you a call?

4:10 Don't bother.

4:11 Spoken for?

4:16 I think that's me.

4:17 Yes, excuse me just a moment.

4:20 Hello?

4:21 I need to see you.

4:22 It's urgent.

4:23 Um Oh, where are you?

4:27 All right, I'm on my way.

4:28 I'm so sorry, Bill.

4:29 Forgive me, everybody.

4:30 I I forgot I had another meeting.

4:32 Thanks for coming by, Bill.

4:34 See you soon.

4:46 You're still upset with me.

4:50 You asked me not to support Rick, and I did.

4:55 I'm sorry.

4:59 But I still don't believe that Rick wouldn't use Phoebe as a way

5:03 to get sympathies out of Steffy or or you for that matter.

5:07 That DVD was just a beautiful, generous gesture.

5:15 No, it wasn't, Brooke.

5:19 It was a cold, self-serving, calculated move.

5:25 Rick used an innocent girl that he killed, Steffy's twin sister,

5:31 to try and manipulate his way back into our life.

5:35 That is beyond sick.

5:39 It's vile for you to think that that was beautiful.

5:46 How the hell could you think that was beautiful?

5:54 Rick used a video tape of Phoebe to Well, that's in such bad taste.

6:01 And Brooke and and Steffy bought into it.

6:04 I swear, just as you think he can't sink any lower, he goes and does this.

6:11 Well, there you go again.

6:15 [laughter] Brooke chooses her son over her husband all every single time.

6:21 Then again, he he really isn't her husband, is he?

6:29 Timing was perfect.

6:34 I told Ridge.

6:35 I told him.

6:36 I told him that he and Brooke are not married.

7:26 [music] Everything is a game to Bill Spencer Jr.

7:29 Yeah.

7:30 Look, Eric, the best thing that we can do is just steer clear.

7:34 Oh, well, if what Stephanie was doing wasn't hurting us,

7:36 I might agree, but the combination of Stephanie Forrester and Bill Spencer Jr.

7:45 I just wish there was some way we could get through to him,

7:47 something we could do to get him to back off.

7:56 Well, um here we are, back where we started from.

7:59 I hope you're suitably impressed.

8:01 With the tour, yes.

8:02 With the tour guide, most definitely.

8:05 Oh, Bill, that goes without saying.

8:08 [laughter] You'll have to excuse my mother.

8:09 She's a bit shameless.

8:10 Oh, yes.

8:11 I'm proud of it.

8:12 You damn well should be.

8:15 Bridget, I hope you aren't too offended by my remark earlier.

8:18 She certainly had every right to be.

8:20 Nick.

8:21 Uh normally I would be, yes,

8:23 but there is actually someone in my own family that's said much worse.

8:28 Yes, the internet's latest star, Stephanie Forrester.

8:32 Taylor.

8:33 I thought we agreed we were not going to say anything to Ridge.

8:36 Yes.

8:37 Yes, that's that's exactly what we agreed until the timing was perfect.

8:40 I'm telling you, if you'd been there, Steffy,

8:42 you would have done the exact same thing.

8:44 I'm telling you, [music] Ridge was so disillusioned with what happened today.

8:48 If Brooke does one more thing, if she makes one more excuse, [music]

8:51 if she sticks up for Rick one more time, it is over.

8:54 That is all it will take.

8:57 Why can't you see it, Brooke?

9:00 How vile my son is?

9:03 How evil his intentions are?

9:06 Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to even say these things to you?

9:09 I know what it must be doing to you.

9:13 But you keep getting sucked back in.

9:18 For you to try to convince me that this latest stunt is just some noble

9:22 gesture to pay homage to the daughter that he took away from me, it's sickening.

9:28 Your son is still manipulating you, Brooke.

9:31 You have to stop it.

9:33 Now.

9:35 You have to promise me that you'll be on my side.

9:38 You'll stand with me on this.

9:41 You'll start fighting the two of them

9:43 being together under any circumstance from now on.

9:46 Promise me, Brooke.

9:49 Promise me.

9:51 You'll do this for Steffy's sake, for my daughter's sake, for our sake.

9:58 Otherwise Yes.

10:05 Yes, I give you my word.

10:08 I promise.

10:11 Ridge, I know what's at stake more than anybody.

10:17 But the way that you're looking at me, it's It's almost as if What?

10:28 Is this your way of letting me know that we are over?

10:34 If Steffy and Rick [music] stay together is that what you're saying?

10:39 Our marriage is that much at risk?

10:42 Just don't let anything happen between them.

10:49 It's all up to you.

10:57 That Spencer dude is he for real or what?

11:01 Doesn't really matter as long as we get what we want from him.

11:04 It didn't bother you?

11:05 The comments that he made to Bridget?

11:07 No.

11:08 Bridget can handle a guy like that.

11:11 A guy like you I'm not so sure about.

11:14 What's that supposed to mean?

11:15 I know you're dating her.

11:17 I just want to make sure that you [music] know how special of a lady Bridget is.

11:22 Of course I do.

11:27 Treat her that way.

11:28 She wants to take it slow, you take it slow.

11:31 That's interesting advice.

11:33 And coming from her ex.

11:34 No, scratch that.

11:35 That's her the two-time ex, right?

11:37 Don't you think it's time for you to move on and let her go?

11:42 Or you've hurt Bridget enough.

11:43 The best thing that you can do is to stay out of her life.

11:51 Bill, Eric Forrester here.

11:54 Eric to what do I owe the pleasure?

11:57 I know it's on short notice, but do you have plans for dinner this evening?

12:01 Is that your way of extending an invitation?

12:03 Yes.

12:04 I'd welcome you to LA and talk a little business.

12:09 8:00 our house, is that doable?

12:12 As long as your lovely wife joins us.

12:15 Absolutely.

12:16 Looking forward to it.

12:20 You invited Bill Spencer to dinner.

12:23 Yes.

12:24 Eric, wash your hands.

12:27 Look, Bill wants something.

12:29 He wants something badly.

12:32 Look, this man is trouble.

12:52 So you know my marriage to Brooke isn't valid and you don't bother telling me.

12:56 Well, I didn't want you to see that license until you were ready.

13:00 No.

13:01 You thought that keeping it a secret would be more strategic.

13:05 So I could use it for more impact when

13:07 the timing was right and we both know why, don't we?

13:10 Because you never wanted me married to Brooke anyway.

13:12 Because I knew you would be unhappy if you

13:13 were married to her and you are unhappy, aren't you?

13:17 Otherwise, you'd be down at City Hall remedying the whole situation.

13:20 Brooke and I don't need a piece of paper to be husband and wife.

13:23 Look, you're not married to her.

13:25 That means you could be with Taylor.

13:27 We're not talking about me and Taylor.

13:29 Oh, I think we are.

13:30 Whether you like it or not,

13:31 you're involved with two women now, Brooke and Taylor.

13:46 Let me guess.

13:48 You're looking for Ridge.

13:50 He and I do have things to discuss.

13:52 No, not anymore, Taylor.

13:54 That was when we thought that there was a problem with Steffy, but there's not.

13:59 That depends on Rick and if he can keep his word,

14:01 which so far he hasn't been able to.

14:04 We're not all perfect like you.

14:08 I haven't said I was perfect,

14:09 but I am one who tries to learn from their mistakes.

14:13 Really?

14:15 You're just using the situation between my son

14:17 and Steffy to make a play for Ridge.

14:34 Well Where have you been?

14:42 Your kitty is so hungry.

15:27 I saw you and Owen together.

15:29 You were talking to him about me.

15:32 You have no right.

15:34 Why?

15:36 Why?

15:36 I I I can't protect you because I'm engaged to Katie?

15:40 Yes.

15:43 Or is it because I shouldn't have kissed you.

15:48 You absolutely should not have kissed me.

15:51 Commitments are made to be honored, Nick.

15:53 I thought you knew that.

15:54 I thought you would learn from your mistakes.

15:57 I have learned.

15:59 There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about what I've learned.

16:03 There's not a day goes by that I don't think about what I feel.

16:09 Or what I try to stop feeling for you.

16:11 Will you stop it?

16:12 I don't want to hear this.

16:13 I mean it.

16:14 Not another word.

16:19 You really don't understand, do you, Brooke?

16:22 I understand that you want Ridge back

16:26 and that you're constantly finding opportunities to be with him.

16:29 I don't need to find opportunities.

16:30 Ridge and I have a family.

16:32 We have a lot of things in common.

16:33 That's why we see eye to eye.

16:36 Ridge and I have a family, too, Taylor.

16:39 R.J.

16:39 and Hope?

16:41 You know, I bet that is another reason Rick is so bitter.

16:44 Rick is not an issue between my husband and me.

16:54 I don't know what you're talking about.

16:55 Rick will always be an issue for you and Ridge.

16:59 That's why you're so insecure about your marriage.

17:02 But just so you know when you blow it I'll

17:07 be the one there to help pick up the pieces.

17:13 We're not going to have this conversation.

17:14 It's pointless.

17:16 Well, it would be pointless if you if you were married, but you're not.

17:19 So that means you can go back to Taylor.

17:21 Oh, Mother, it's not that simple and you know it.

17:24 Brooke is supporting her son.

17:26 She keeps supporting that relationship between him and Steffy.

17:33 We had a talk about what Rick did today.

17:36 She has promised me with you and promises you and promises you.

17:41 Look, I know you think you had this kind

17:43 of cosmic connection with Brooke against all odds.

17:46 Well, if we're going to believe in the cosmic,

17:48 then maybe you ought to think of this invalid marriage

17:51 license as a sort of you know, door to freedom.

17:55 That you walk away from Brooke and her son and all the trouble they bring.

18:01 sakes.

18:01 Well, think about it.

18:02 If you and Taylor were married, you present a united front, wouldn't you?

18:07 Rick wouldn't dare cross that line and Steffy would be

18:10 safe and all it would take is Take is what?

18:12 What?

18:14 To let go of my life with Brooke?

18:18 Yeah.

18:19 I know it wouldn't be easy, but my God, Rick is not going to stop.

18:23 He's not going to stop going after her.

18:27 Why?

18:27 Because he doesn't want you with his mother.

18:30 If you're away from Brooke, if you're not involved with Brooke,

18:32 then all this craziness will stop and you know it will.

18:35 It's the only way it's going to stop.

18:39 It's in your hands.

18:42 Honey, I just [music] want you to be happy.

18:45 Honestly, I I just want you to be happy and I think Taylor will make you happy.

18:55 [music] Mhm.
