B&B Recaps Week of April 3, 2006

Massimo told Nick Brooke has a family with his brother, and that any closer connection to her would be disgraceful. Nick said he thought Massimo would adjust in time. Massimo replied that in time Nick would be sorrier still. Nick mocked Massimo by asking him if Massimo would break his kneecaps if he didn’t comply. Massimo tried the soft sell, and told Nick he could appreciate why Nick would be attracted to Brooke. Massimo pleaded with Nick not to do this to his brother and to him. Massimo said he’s not rescuing a family by doing this, he’s destroying one. Massimo said if Nick refuses to believe that he’s wrong that at least he’ll have one son and grandson who could enjoy his empire. Nick said he can live without Massimo’s money or his inheritance. Massimo agreed, but said he thought Nick would value his place in the family. Massimo asserted himself as head of the family, and said that sometimes the head of the family must make difficult decisions like this. Nick said if the door closes between them he won’t be the one to shut it but he won’t fight it, either, and cautioned Massimo to rethink before making the next move.
Megan told Jackie about her promotion at Forrester. Eric paid Jackie a visit. Eric apologized for not returning her messages and getting back to her sooner. Jackie said he had nothing to apologize about given how he’s still recovering from the loss of Felicia. Jackie asked Eric about when he can dissolve his marriage to Stephanie now that Felicia is dead. Eric shocked Jackie by telling her that Felicia is actually alive. Eric explained how and why Stephanie had kept it a secret. Jackie asked about Felicia’s wishes. Eric said it wasn’t Felicia’s wish to die. Jackie angrily asked why Eric wasn’t angry with Stephanie for her deceit, and compared it to Stephanie’s fake heart attack. Eric told Jackie he can’t feel anything but gratitude toward Steph. Jackie said she felt selfish for asking but she wanted to know when it’s going to be “her” turn. Jackie accused Stephanie of trying to bring her marriage to Eric back to life by bringing Felicia back to life. Eric said he wasn’t up to having this conversation now, but reassured her that he’s not trying to backpedal out of his engagement to Jackie. Jackie put on a brave face and told Eric to take all the time he needed to sort things out in his family. Eric kissed Jackie goodbye. Shortly after Eric left, the authorities bust in and arrested Jackie after Massimo made a phone call to confirm that the arrest was put into motion.
Ridge told Brooke he asked Stephanie to step down so that they could run Forrester together. Brooke couldn’t believe that Steph would ever say yes. Ridge smugly predicted that Brooke would soon run out of reasons to turn him down. Brooke said that ain’t gonna happen — she’s still committed to Nick. Ridge declared he’s going to prove to Brooke who is safe to trust, and who is not. Ridge left, confident in his ability to sway Brooke’s mind. Nick visited Brooke and informed her that he’d been disinherited and cut out of the Marone family if he stays with her. Brooke was dismayed by Massimo’s actions, but Nick reassured her that he didn’t care.
