Episode Summary

Sunday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful immersed fans in emotional turmoil as Taylor Hayes delivered a gut-wrenching plea to Ridge Forrester—urging him to call off his upcoming wedding to Brooke Logan. What followed was a cascade of raw vulnerability, passionate declarations, and the kind of family drama that defines the soap.

A Mother’s Heartbreak
The episode centers around Taylor, whose emotional fragility peaks when she finds herself alone with Ridge in a private moment. Tears in her eyes, she begs, “I’ll die if you marry her.” The words—raw and unexpected—hang heavily in the room. Taylor confesses that Ridge’s decision has reopened old wounds, reminding her of the history they once shared and the life they envisioned together.

Ridge, taken aback, is conflicted. His loyalty to Brooke and his desire to move forward with his life collide with the lingering love he holds for Taylor. The intensity of the plea leaves him visibly shaken, setting the tone for the rest of the episode.

Brooke’s Unshakeable Resolve
Meanwhile, Brooke receives fragmented but potent news of Taylor’s confrontation. Although deeply emotional, Brooke stands firm, believing in the future she’s building with Ridge. In her confessional moments, she reflects on her history with Taylor—not as rivals, but as women who’ve loved the same man at different times.

Brooke’s resolve only strengthens as she recognizes that true healing will require more than emotions—it demands clarity, honesty, and authentic belonging.

The Aftermath at Forrester Creations
At Forrester Creations, the tension spills over into the professional realm. Staff pick up on Ridge’s mood. Steffy senses that his heart isn’t entirely in the wedding plans. Meanwhile, Carter and Hope exchange uneasy glances outside Ridge’s office, realizing something has deeply unsettled him.

Taylor, stepping into that professional space, tries to steady herself long enough to deliver a design sketch. It’s a visual metaphor—her attempt to maintain composure and creativity amid personal anguish.

Liabilities and Family Shadows
Liam, having overheard parts of the emotional exchange, finds himself torn. His love for his mother (Taylor) and his respect for Ridge’s autonomy place him in emotional limbo. He seeks out Hope for guidance, turning to her for advice on how and when to intervene—or whether to intervene at all.

Back in the Forrester mansion, Thomas comforts his mother, acknowledging the pain but encouraging her to allow Ridge the freedom to make his own decisions. Their heartfelt exchange becomes a turning point, offering Taylor both solace and a reminder that love isn’t defined by fear.

A Wedding on the Edge
By the end of the episode, Ridge stands at a crossroads. In a brief but profound scene, he stares at Brooke’s wedding invitation—pen in hand, it looks like he’s about to sign off. Instead, he closes his eyes, torn between two loves.

Brooke, poised and hopeful, continues wedding preparations with unwavering determination. Taylor, still in emotional turmoil, retreats to her workspace, skull in hands, as the image fades.
