Ridge finds out about the text messages, Steffy and Thomas worry they’ve made things worse, Brooke asks Ridge to make a decision and Whip moves in upstairs from Jackie.
Whip calls Jackie from his new loft, which is upstairs from her, and she agrees to come up to visit.
Despite Taylor and Stephanie’s demands that she leave the wedding, Brooke stays put. The minister walks out though as Brooke tells Ridge what’s been going on with her text messages. Ridge demands answers and Thomas and Steffy fess up. Ridge asks to speak with Taylor and Brooke alone and everyone leaves the beach house.
Outside, Stephanie tells Steffy she did the right thing and she hopes Ridge does as well.
Taylor understands why Steffy did what she did, but thinks Brooke’s messages wouldn’t have made a difference anyway because Ridge is committed to her and their family. Brooke asks Ridge if that’s true because she doesn’t believe it.
Jackie goes to Whip’s loft who has sushi and wine waiting. Jackie assumes Whip knew Owen was surfing when he called, but Whip denies it. They talk about how great the loft is and that Owen was the one to convince her to take it in the first place. Whip asks how they met and Jackie recounts their story. Jackie says Owen is the best thing that ever happened to her, noting she feels like a grande dame and beach girl all at the same time. Whip gets an idea off that, but Jackie wants to take a break from work for a moment and have a drink.
Thorne and Felicia tell Thomas they are proud of him and understand why he did what he did. Thomas worries it was all for nothing, now that Brooke is there.
Steffy apologizes to Marcus for what she did to his aunt, but he tells her she doesn’t have to be sorry for anything. He adds that he’s there for her.
Stephanie and Donna bicker about what happened, but Eric interjects that they will all let Ridge make his own decision. However, Stephanie won’t stand by and watch Brooke sabotage Ridge and Taylor’s happiness.
Brooke tries to get through to Ridge, but he hasn’t changed his mind about the situation. Brooke doesn’t think it’s too late to work on things and get through this. Taylor and Brooke exchange words and Brooke asks Ridge to take the time to think about this. She pleads with him to not marry Taylor just because he’s upset. Taylor counters that they belong together and he can’t have a normal marriage with Brooke. Brooke is convinced Ridge is still in love with her, but if he says he’s not, she will walk away because all she’s ever wanted is for him to be happy. She’s sorry she gave up on them and threw away everything they’ve meant to each other, but she realizes nothing is insurmountable. She thinks their love is stronger than anything they’ve ever faced. She asks him to tell her what he really wants and she will live with his decision.
Steffy and Thomas worry Ridge will come out and announce he’s with Brooke now. They wonder if they made things worse, but hope Ridge won’t hurt their mother like that.
Stephanie asks Donna if she knew Brooke was going to do this, but Donna says no one is getting pleasure out of this. Stephanie wants her to talk Brooke into leaving, but Donna thinks it’s all up to Brooke and Ridge right now. Stephanie says Taylor gives Ridge stability, which is something Brooke can’t. Donna says it’s up to Ridge to decide what and who he wants and she believes that will be Brooke.
