Brooke and Ridge Do Capri... and Chaos
Nick may have been dreaming up a romantic boat ride for Brooke, but surprise!! Ridge beat him to it. He and Brooke glided across the water to Capri with “Unforgettable” playing, trying to sell the fantasy. But the real drama began when Eric pulled Ridge aside and spilled the tea about seeing Brooke and Nick kissing. Cue Ridge fuming and calling Brooke out. She didn’t deny it and hit him with a brutal truth bomb: “At least Nick is making an effort.” Oof.
Despite their tension, it was time for the fashion show. Although calling it a fashion show might be generous since it looked more like an upscale lunch with background models no one was watching. But hey, the scenery was stunning. Brooke ended up taking the spotlight, strutting like a queen while the crowd cheered. Meanwhile, Ridge simmered and Eric smirked from the sidelines, knowing full well the show wasn’t the only thing heating up.
Li's Playing Hospital Hide-and-Seek
Back in Los Angeles, Li was busy pulling the ultimate soap move; hiding a not-so-dead Luna in a private recovery room and talking to her like this was just a regular Wednesday. She promised she wouldn’t let her die, and based on how focused she looked, she meant business. Sheila, on the other hand, was having a meltdown of her own. She still believes Luna is dead and is desperate to know where the girl’s buried. You’d think after Li vaguely told her she “handled it,” she’d follow up. But no, Sheila’s just been calling and texting like a desperate ex.
Naturally, Li popped into Il Giardino for takeout and acted shocked to see Sheila there (at the restaurant where she works and lives). The two had a tense run-in where Sheila practically begged for information and Li responded with about as much warmth as an ice sculpture. You could almost hear Li's internal “not today” as she walked away.
Nick Rolls Up and Brooke Breaks Down
With his boat still in the shop, Nick scored a sleek ride and hightailed it to the fashion show. He asked a local stranger for directions and somehow, this random man knew exactly where Brooke Logan was strutting her stuff. Convenient. Nick arrived just in time to get the cold shoulder from Eric, who clearly wasn’t in the mood for love triangles today.
Meanwhile, Brooke had had enough. After being paraded in front of photographers with Ridge like they were still the golden couple, she snapped. She ran off and Ridge followed, like always. At a dramatic ocean overlook, Brooke let it all out. She told Ridge how exhausting their cycle has become and accused him of loving her but being too proud to say it. It was raw, it was real and frankly, it was overdue. Ridge told her not to go, but Brooke made it clear... she can’t stay in this loop any longer
