Brooke Says Goodbye… to Ridge
Brooke’s emotional rollercoaster continued in scenic Capri, where she told Ridge she couldn’t stay any longer. Every corner reminded her of their history and not in a good way. She vented about the constant attention, the endless questions about their relationship and his messy engagement with Taylor. Tired of feeling like a tabloid headline, Brooke made it clear she was done playing second fiddle. And when Ridge tried to calm her with a breezy “It’s going to be OK,” Brooke wasn’t having it. According to her, nothing about this was OK.
Meanwhile, Nick showed up at the party ready to make his move. Eric shut him down hard, warning him to back off Brooke and questioning what he was even doing there. Nick clapped back, calling out Eric for constantly throwing Brooke into the chaos of Ridge’s drama-filled family. After their little standoff, Nick found Brooke and Ridge mid-argument by the water.
Brooke opened up about the pain of being in paradise with the man she loves, knowing they aren’t actually together. Cue Nick stepping in with a grand gesture and a very clear offer. He held out his hand and told her to come with him. And just like that, Brooke took Nick’s hand and walked away, leaving Ridge staring into the Italian sunset alone. Say what you want, but the woman finally made a choice.
Electra and Will Rewrite the Past
Back in the Forrester design office, Will and Electra were busy rewriting history and patting themselves on the back for surviving Luna’s spiral. Looking through the photos from Italy, they wished they’d been invited to the fashion fun. Will suggested Electra should’ve been modeling, but she reminded him she designs jewelry, not walks runways.
Their conversation took a dark turn as they talked about Luna pulling a gun on them. Electra was still in disbelief and made it clear she thought Luna brought it all on herself. Will tried to reassure her that he never would have let Luna hurt her. The two seemed confident that with Luna gone, their problems were solved. A little too confident, if you ask me.
Sheila Smells a Lie
At Il Giardino, Sheila confronted Li with a mix of grief and suspicion. She claimed she just wanted to say goodbye to Luna and insisted she had truly cared about the girl. Li wasn’t having it. She tried to brush Sheila off and refused to say anything about Luna’s whereabouts. Sheila pointed out that she tried to help Luna, not hurt her, but Li snapped and stormed off, leaving her takeout behind.
Deacon showed up and asked if Sheila had learned anything. Not surprisingly, she hadn’t, but something wasn’t sitting right. Sheila said she could feel it in her bones — Li was hiding something. She reminisced about Luna’s bright side and even got misty remembering their laughs. Deacon, ever the voice of reason, warned her not to romanticize what happened. Still, Sheila couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more going on. And she might be right.
Luna’s Fight Isn’t Over
Turns out, Sheila’s sixth sense is spot-on. Over at Li’s place, Luna lay unconscious in a hidden room, surrounded by machines and silence. Li visited her granddaughter, hoping for any sign of change. She spoke softly, begging Luna to hold on. She reflected on the life Luna had — raised in chaos, never truly having a shot at stability.
Li was filled with regret, promising she was there now and wouldn’t let her die. Despite everything Luna had done, Li wasn’t ready to give up on her. The rest of the world may think Luna’s story is over, but if Li has anything to say about it, the final chapter hasn’t been written yet. And something tells us it’s going to be a wild one.
