Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of October 20, 2008
Monday
Fearing Pam will harm Eric, a terrified Donna ordered Stephanie to leave. Steph offered to help but Donna got even more scared and urged her rival to just stay out of it. After Stephanie left, Pam called Donna and warned her not to go anywhere near Eric. Donna shared that she had to at least go to his office to sign their divorce papers and Pam growled this will be the last time the Hot Tamale will see her Honey Bear.
Taylor kissed Ridge, who was stunned by the smooch. "What are you doing, Doc?" he asked. She explained it was something she wanted to do for a long time. When Ridge pointed out that they were marrying different people, Taylor got embarrassed and told him to forget the kiss. He admitted he couldn't and she realized that he felt something too. Ridge emphasized that he is marrying Brooke but she reminded him that he will also be sharing a life with Jack and Nick. "I love you and I'm not apologizing for that," Taylor admitted. Ridge asked what she planned to do about Rick and she said that she won't be able to marry him because she wants to be with Ridge. He confessed that he was feeling all warm and fuzzy about Taylor but insisted his future is with Brooke. Taylor said she will be waiting for him when everything with Brooke falls apart. She kissed Ridge again and slinked out. Taylor returned home and Rick could immediately tell something was wrong. "I can't marry you," she sobbed.
Eric was staring forlornly at his divorce papers when Stephanie arrived. He was peeved when Donna showed up with Owen, who explained that, as a paralegal, he was representing her interests. Donna was presented with the divorce papers and Eric declared he is keeping the house. When Donna was reluctant to sign, Eric grabbed the pen, added his John Hancock and ordered her to follow suit. She finally complied and Eric stormed out of the room.
Donna tearfully asked if Stephanie enjoyed that scene but she said she didn't want to win Eric this way. Stephanie then explained that she wanted to find Pam but needed Donna's help. Donna asked why she should trust Stephanie who countered that Donna just may get Eric back after all. "So I suggest you help me," Steph advised.
Tuesday
Ridge came home to Brooke and relayed how Taylor didn't have faith that he and Brooke would tie the knot. Brooke was peeved by the interference. "You are the love of my love," Ridge proclaimed but admitted that something always seems to be getting in their way. Brooke reaffirmed her love and Ridge seemed appeased. They sealed their commitment with a passionate kiss, which led to a slo-mo lovemaking. After, Brooke worried about Rick.
"Why would you back out of our wedding?" a stunned Rick asked Taylor. She admitted, "I'm still in love with Ridge." She then copped to kissing him and Rick became enraged. He pointed out that his mother has a "vice grip" on Ridge and that Taylor will be left all alone. She said she was willing to wait for Ridge after his relationship with Brooke falls apart. "We could Have had a wonderful life together if it wasn't for Ridge," Rick sneered. He then called Ridge and told him to meet him at Forrester Creations.
Donna fretted to Owen that involving Stephanie could make Pam even more Dangerous, but he insisted Step was their last hope. Owen told a tearful Donna that he will always be there for her. Pamela watched from afar and surmised that Donna was upset because she officially ended her marriage. Pam was then hit with a painful headache and gobbled down some pills.
Stephanie was surprised to come home and find a romantic table setting waiting for her courtesy of Eric. He apologized for everything he has put her through and said this was a new beginning for them and their family. Steph then explained that Donna only wanted the divorce to protect him. Eric was shocked to learn that Donna left him because Pam forced her to. Stephanie said she wants to get Pam to a hospital without involving the police and asked for Eric's help.
Ridge and Rick met at the Sky Lounge where Rick blasted Ridge's reckless behavior through the years. "I'm done with this," Rick announced.
Wednesday
Stephanie insisted to Eric that they find a disturbed Pam before her sister did any more damage. Steph then called Donna and noted that Pam needed her help and asked to help her lure Pam over. Owen was hopeful that it would get Pam out of Donna's life. Donna called Pam. Pam watched Donna from her window
and laughed about Donna being sad over her breakup with Eric. She called Donna a bunch of names, including that of a popular storybook character. Donna informed her that Pam's mother, Ann, was ill. She didn't seem to believe Donna's story about Ann. Owen was still confident that Pam would take the bait and call Stephanie. Sure enough, Pam called her sister. Stephanie reminded her how much she loves her and confirmed Donna's story about Ann being ill. Pam became upset, especially when she saw an ambulance
at the Forrester home. Owen spied Pam leave the vacant house next door and realized that that was how Pam had been watching them.... Steph felt guilty about lying to Pam, but Eric assured her that she was doing the right thing. The sisters embraced as they shared a reunion. Stephanie confessed that she'd lied about Ann being sick because she knew Pam needed the help.
Taylor paid Brooke a visit and informed Brooke that she and Rick split. Brooke was angry with Taylor for breaking her son's heart, but Taylor insisted that she hadn't wanted to hurt Rick. Brooke was shocked when Taylor revealed that she and Ridge kissed, but didn't think that Taylor and Ridge had a chance. Taylor noted that Brooke never respected her marriage to Ridge when they were together. Brooke was confident that nothing would come between her and Ridge.
Outside on the Sky Lounge balcony, Ridge and Rick fought over Taylor admitting that she still had feelings for Ridge. Rick blamed Ridge for ruining his life. "How do you live with yourself?" Rick angrily asked. Ridge insisted that he didn't lead Taylor on, but they shared kids and a history. Rick wouldn't hear it and continued to rant and rave against Ridge. "I have really big issues and we're gonna put an end to those issues. Here and now," Rick stated. Ridge fired back that Rick and Taylor's problems weren't his
fault. A riled-up Rick punched Ridge twice, then got Ridge into a headlock, with Ridge grunting and sweating and gritting his teeth the whole time. The men "danced" around a bit as Ridge struggled to get free. Ridge finally shoved Rick off of him — which sent Rick flying (and somersaulting) right over the ledge. "RIIIIICK!" cried Ridge.
Thursday
Ridge ordered someone to call 911 and rushed down to a fallen Rick's side.
"Hang in there," Ridge begged. The paramedics arrived and Rick was still
unconscious. As he was loaded into the ambulance, Ridge frantically called
Brooke with the news that there was an accident with Rick but didn't
elaborate.
Donna nervously paced the room, wondering what was going on with
Pam and Stephanie. She wanted to go check things out but Owen urged her to
stay put and let Stephanie handle the situation. Donna opined that Pam is in
love with Eric and went back to her pacing.
Pam freaked when she realized that Stephanie tricked her into coming to the
house. An unraveled Pam started to blame herself for not protecting her
sister from their father's abuse, but Stephanie insisted that Pam was just a
little girl then and wasn't responsible. Steph reminded that Pam almost
killed Eric and Pam claimed she only meant to scare him. Eric entered the
room and asked his former sister-in-law if he was ever cruel to her. "I
didn't used to be like this," Pam wailed and Stephanie agreed that this
latest condition appeared to be something new and different. Pam then spun
out of control and raged at Eric for leaving Stephanie. "How could you walk
out on her?" she blasted. Stephanie explained that Eric is in love with
Donna then coaxed Pam into admitting that she sent the snake that bit Marcus
and also tried to run down Beth. "I need you to be my little sister again,"
Stephanie tenderly said. Pam suddenly screamed out in pain and fell
unconscious in Steph's arms.
Rick was rushed into the hospital where Bridget was shocked to see her
injured brother. A distressed Brooke arrived and asked Ridge, "Please tell
me you didn't have anything to do with this?" Ridge tried to explain his
violent encounter with Rick, but Bridget interrupted with news that Rick was
still unconscious and his spine was being examined. Bridget was encouraged
that Rick didn't need surgery, however Brooke asked why he doesn't wake up.
Bridge didn't have an answer and Brooke sat at her son's bedside. "I can't
lose a child," she sobbed, then begged Rick to wake up. His eyes slowly
flickered open. "What happened?" he whispered. Brooke urged him to get
rest.
Friday
Brooke, Ridge and Bridget visited an awake Rick in his hospital room. "What the hell are you doing here?" Rick growled at Ridge. Ridge insisted that he accidentally pushed Rick over the ledge, but Rick wouldn't hear it. Ridge left. After, Bridget urged her brother to relax. Meanwhile, Brooke followed Ridge into another hospital room and questioned him about Rick's fall. Ridge explained that Rick attacked him and he shoved Rick off when he started strangling him — which resulted in Rick falling over the side. Ridge apologized, but stated that it wasn't his fault. Brooke embraced him and cried.
Donna feared that Pam would hurt Stephanie and Eric, but Owen had more faith in Stephanie's plan. Owen assured Donna that she'd soon be reunited with Eric. Donna told Owen that if it hadn't been Eric, it would've been him. Owen joked about winning the silver medal. They then got word about Pam collapsing.
At the hospital, the doctor questioned Stephanie about Pam's condition. The doctor noted that they needed to call the police since Pam was a fugitive. Steph begged her to tend to her sister's health first. The doctor revealed that Pam had a mass in her head that was putting pressure on her brain — and that that could be contributing to Pam's behavior. Seph recalled an incident in Pam's childhood where she'd hit her head. Later, Donna paid Eric a visit and he filled her in on Pam. He admitted that he felt sorry for Pam, but Donna couldn't muster the sympathy. Eric thanked Donna for saving his life.
Brooke and Bridget gathered around Rick's bed as the doctor prepared to perform a test to check Rick's legs. As the doctor began testing, Rick didn't feel anything and urged the doctor to start the test. When Bridget gulped and a teary Brooke clapped a hand to her mouth, Rick realized what was going on. "I'm paralyzed?" he asked, before crying, "Oh, my God!" A nearby Ridge looked really sheepish.
