B&B Recaps Week of January 9, 2006
Friday, January 13, 2006
Felicia took a seat on the couch to record a message for Dominick. She started out nervous, but quickly fell into speaking naturally toward him. She called Bridget into the frame and told Dominick that while she was in Heaven watching over, Bridget would be the one he called Mommy. She repeated that she had no fear leaving him because she knew Bridget and his father would take care of him. Then she said she knew he’d go places, because of the wanderlust he’s sure to have inherited from her and Nick, but she hoped he’d realize sooner than she and Nick had that the love, support and anything else needed in life was “right here, where we started with our families.” She concluded that the “only thing that matters is that I love you. I love you with all my heart and I always will. Always.” Then she dissolved into tears. Nick and Bridget gave some support. She again asked Bridget to think of Dominick as her own. Bridget confirmed her promise, even calling Dominick her son. The two women embraced.
Meanwhile, the Taylor reveal square dance continued. First Taylor and Brooke concluded their two step. Taylor’s big moment was when she said that, contrary to Brooke’s accusation that Taylor made her feel inferior (by pretending to be perfect), most people actually feel inferior because of their own unfair judgment of themselves. She remained confident she’d get Ridge back, but Brooke left her with a, “Good luck, Taylor. You’re going to need it.” Stephanie, meanwhile, remained set on convincing Ridge to take Taylor back, but Ridge finally stormed out after saying, “You seem to think I’m still connected to you. Like I can’t get along without you. Well you know what? I’m through letting you try to control my life.”
Then they switched partners, with Taylor going back to Stephanie and Brooke finding Ridge at her place with RJ. Taylor was most upset that Ridge was more concerned with Brooke than her fling. Stephanie blamed that on Brooke and said that she was now the problem in Taylor’s marriage. Taylor questioned Stephanie’s motives, asking if she only supported their marriage and forgiven her indiscretion as a means to get rid of Brooke. Stephanie denied that, but Taylor insisted the faked heart attack was proof that Stephanie didn’t trust Ridge would choose her. Stephanie wouldn’t back down and told her not to get sidetracked or she’d be letting Brooke “derail the marriage.”
Ridge seemed to already be over that marriage when Brooke joined him and RJ in front of the fire. As RJ played, they talked about the kids and it was just simple, sweet and nice. Ridge missed being around RJ and Hope everyday and remembered how happy they’d been before Taylor’s return. He empathized about how busy life had been for Brooke between work, Bridget and the kids, and apologized for becoming an absent father. She was pleased to hear he would help tuck in the kids. Then Ridge tried to turn the conversation to them, but Brooke said he’d broken the bond between them when he’d chosen Taylor. Ridge understood, considering what he was going through now. He promised he’d never let his mother or Taylor abuse her again and asked her to forgive him. Brooke was flummoxed when he didn’t complete his final sentence, “More than that, I’m asking you to…” (Translation: Tune in next week to hear what he’s going to ask.)
