Brooke and Ridge’s Italian Daydream

At Forrester Creations, Eric doubles down on his mission to push Ridge toward Brooke, waxing poetic about life’s fleeting moments and the magic of Italy. Brooke waltzes in just in time to hear Eric declare that Ridge’s heart belongs to her. After Eric leaves, Ridge and Brooke share a laugh over his not-so-subtle matchmaking. Brooke wastes no time reminding Ridge that their love is inevitable, painting a vivid picture of romantic strolls through Naples. Ridge protests that he has a life with Taylor, but Brooke insists his engagement is built on a misunderstanding and urges him to follow his heart.

Taylor Catches Brooke in Action

Unaware that Taylor is eavesdropping outside the office, Brooke lays it all on the line, telling Ridge he will always love her. Later, Taylor corners Brooke and makes it clear she heard every word of her plea. Closing the door behind her, Taylor warns Brooke that Ridge is with her, and nothing will come between them, not even an Italian backdrop filled with romance. Brooke keeps her cool, but the tension crackles in the air. 

Steffy’s Stunning Olive Branch

At Bill’s place, Steffy prepares to head out so Liam can rest, but Sheila hobbles in on crutches. Instead of storming out, Steffy shocks her by saying she’s actually glad she came. She thanks Sheila for risking her life to save her, acknowledging that she’ll never forget it. Sheila presses for forgiveness, but Steffy cuts her off with a sassy “Take the win.” After a cringe-worthy reveal of her now infamous eight-toed foot, Sheila makes her exit. Alone, Liam and Steffy share a laugh about the toe show before the conversation turns serious. Steffy admits she needs to get away with the kids to clear her head, though the thought of leaving Liam tears her apart. Through tears, she tells him she loves him. Liam promises nothing can shake their bond, and they hold on to each other, both knowing this goodbye will sting.

Finn’s Growing Suspicion

Over at the hospital, Finn can’t shake the unease surrounding Liam’s miraculous recovery. Bridget joins him as he leaves yet another message for Dr. Grace Buckingham, who orchestrated the risky experimental surgery. The secrecy gnaws at Finn, especially considering the extreme trauma Liam’s body endured. Bridget calls the procedure a risk worth taking, but Finn is left staring at Liam’s scans, haunted by the nagging thought that something doesn’t add up. Finn studies Liam’s scans one last time, muttering to himself, “What really happened to you, Liam?”
