Get ready for an emotional and eventful week in The Bold and the Beautiful, as love, heartbreak, and transformation take center stage in Los Angeles. As Ridge Forrester steps boldly into his next chapter with Taylor Hayes, the ripple effects touch nearly every corner of the Forrester and Logan families—sparking joy, sorrow, and unexpected reunions.

This week, Ridge surprises everyone, especially Taylor, with a quiet but powerful declaration of love. No sweeping gestures, just an honest moment beneath the soft glow of the Forrester mansion lights where he tells Taylor it’s time to stop dreaming and start building a life together. After years of back-and-forth, Taylor finally feels a sense of grounding, as if permanence might actually be within reach. The couple immediately begins planning their wedding, scribbling guest lists on napkins and reminiscing about past vows in Aspen, turning those memories into the foundation of a new beginning.

Ridge is insistent that the wedding reflect the serenity of the mountains they love, while Taylor—ever the pragmatist—prepares for everything from rain to paparazzi to unexpected family blowups. But through every challenge, their shared refrain is, “We face it together.” Their planning mantra soon echoes through the Forrester estate, reaching Brooke Logan’s ears and heart with uncomfortable clarity.

Brooke, always confident that her love story with Ridge was unshakable, begins to feel the ground shift beneath her. Every smile Ridge shares with Taylor, every whispered conversation about ring designs, sends a pang through Brooke’s heart. What she once thought were detours now seem like a final destination—and not one that includes her. Try as she might to distract herself with work or travel, reminders of the upcoming wedding are everywhere: Hope chatting excitedly about bridesmaid dresses, Steffy cautiously asking if Brooke plans to attend, even Donna suggesting she help plan a brunch.

The façade Brooke maintains starts to crack, and late one night, with only a glass of wine and her thoughts for company, she lets it all out—arguing with the memory of Ridge and mourning a future that may never be. At one point, she even contemplates crashing the wedding, desperate to stop something she believes is born more out of exhaustion than true love. But deep down, Brooke knows doing so would only isolate her further.

In a heartfelt conversation with Hope, Brooke finally admits she may have mistaken comfort for destiny. Hope, ever the peacemaker, encourages her mother not to give up on happiness, reminding her that Logan women have weathered worse. But their talk leaves a heavy silence—one that’s unexpectedly broken by a blast from the past.

Enter Nick Marone.

The charming sea captain-turned-businessman returns to L.A. with his signature swagger, sending shockwaves through Forrester Creations. Ridge dismisses his timing as meddlesome, Taylor wonders if fate is testing them, but Brooke—she’s taken aback in the best possible way. Their reunion isn’t fiery or dramatic, but grounded and sincere. Over coffee and wine, they share truths and regrets, with Nick reminding Brooke that not all love has to be a hurricane. Some loves are lighthouses—steady, guiding, and safe.

Nick’s presence helps Brooke rediscover pieces of herself she thought she lost. She laughs, flirts, and finally sees a future that doesn’t revolve around Ridge. When she confides that attending the wedding feels impossible, Nick offers to be her date—more than just a companion, a source of strength. And so, when the rehearsal dinner arrives, all eyes widen as Brooke walks in arm-in-arm with Nick, poised and peaceful.

In a surprising show of grace, Brooke congratulates Taylor, thanks her for their shared bond as mothers, and assures her she won’t interfere. Taylor is moved. Then Brooke turns to Ridge, offers a simple, sincere smile, and returns her attention to Nick. In that moment, Ridge sees clearly: Brooke is no longer the woman orbiting his life—she’s her own center now. It hits him with mixed emotions, but he knows this is how it must be.

The wedding day arrives with Malibu skies clear and blessings in the surf. Guests gather, the buzz of excitement in the air, and even Donna and Katie can’t believe nothing’s gone wrong—yet. Carter prepares to officiate a ceremony three decades in the making. Ridge stands beneath an arch of flowers, waiting. Brooke, seated beside Nick, watches with surprising calm.

Taylor appears, radiant, and Brooke feels a pang—but it passes. There are no dramatic scenes, no objections. Just a serene, beautiful ceremony where Ridge and Taylor exchange heartfelt vows that honor both their past and their commitment to a peaceful future. As Carter pronounces them husband and wife, and cheers erupt, Brooke hears Nick whisper that sometimes, letting go of one dream makes space for another.

And this time, she believes him.

As the reception kicks off with music, laughter, and a few light-hearted jabs from Pam about bee-attracting desserts, Brooke isn’t the scorned ex—she’s a woman starting a brand-new journey. And with Nick by her side, maybe—just maybe—it’s going to be the best one yet
