In Cabo, Brooke didn’t believe Stephanie’s claim that Ridge had a heart attack. Steph begged Brooke to return to L.A. in order to help Ridge recuperate. Stephanie admitted she was wrong by pushing Brooke out of her son’s life because Brooke is what Ridge needs. “Put our differences aside and just come back with me now,” pleaded the matriarch. “I know that my hatred of you has made me unlovable,” she added, then complimented Brooke on being full of love. Steph told Brooke that since his heart attack, Ridge has only mumbled the word “Brooke.” Nick often took jabs at Steph, accusing her of lying. Brooke justified helping Ridge by noting he’s the father of her son. Stephanie told Brooke she is the most precious person in the world to her because she means the world to Ridge, then hugged her. “Come home with me. Let me be the mother to you that I know you always wanted me to be,” Steph said to a teary Brooke.
After speaking with Eric on the phone, Jackie assured Stephen that Ridge did, indeed, have a heart attack. When she mentioned she’s engaged to the married Eric, Stephen informed Jackie that Eric did the same thing to his ex-wife. Therefore, Stephen walked away from his family because he was never convinced they would be his, he explained. Just before going in to kiss an off-guard Jackie, Stephen encouraged her to go for what she wants.
In Ridge’s hospital room, Felicia snapped when the nurse began unhooking Ridge in order to bring him to get a CAT Scan. Dante kept Felicia company. She asked his honest opinion of her looks, and he gave it. Though he wasn’t very complimentary at first, he said she looked beautiful. Felicia kissed the hunk, then said she felt weird about it. She explained she was desperate for a warm body to touch her. He embraced her face.
