At Forrester, Ridge pleaded with Brooke not to walk out on him and Forrester Creations. Brooke said she’s had enough of Stephanie’s machinations and was throwing in the towel. When pressed by Ridge, Brooke conceded that she’s quitting at Nick’s behest. Ridge was angry that Brooke was caving to Nick and Stephanie’s pressure. Brooke declared she can’t live that way any more. Brooke told Stephanie she’s through fighting and that Stephanie wins. Ridge questioned why she’s bowing to Stephanie if Nick is supposedly the real reason behind her decision. Brooke dismissed that and accused Ridge of wanting her to stay at Forrester because that’s where their romance began. She said it’s only fitting that that’s where it should end. Brooke conceded that a part of her will always love Ridge, but she has to go. She tearfully caressed Ridge’s face before gathering her belongings and rushing out. Ridge sunk into a chair — and despair. Ridge lashed out at Stephanie and accused her of smothering him with her obsessive love for him. He asked Steph what kind of mother makes it her life’s mission to deprive her son of the one thing he wants most. Ridge accused Stephanie of taking Brooke away from him — and from taking away his life — before he collapsed from an apparent heart attack.
Dante stewed over Stephanie’s threats. Bridget offered to call her dad for help. Dante thanked Bridget for her support. Bridget said she’d do whatever she can to make sure he remains a part of Dino’s life. The two unwound with some wine, as both lamented that they weren’t in Italy as originally planned. Dante was eager to introduce Bridget to his parents, and Bridget was eager to spend quality time with Dante. Bridget said living with Dante has been healing for her. She admitted that she knows Dante has been wanting more, and she wasn’t ready, but she wants more now. The two began to kiss, and moved things to the bedroom. When things heated up, Dante reached into the nightstand. Bridget thought he was reaching for protection — instead he pulled out an engagement ring and proposed to her.
Taylor paid Nick a visit at Marone Industries to apologize for blabbing to him about what happened between Brooke and Ridge. Taylor asked him what happened, and Nick said everything’s fine, because Brooke is going to stay away from Ridge. Taylor doubted that would be possible. Nick insisted that Brooke won’t change her mind. Later, Brooke returned and told Nick she resigned from Forrester despite Ridge’s pleas. She apologized for feeling sorry for hurting Ridge. Nick interrupted her and said he only wants her to be happy, and has a surprise for her.
