B&B Recaps Week of Oct. 17, 2005

With Brooke and Eric’s marriage making the front page of the Fashion section of the paper, Stephanie turned to Taylor for support — aka a full-fledged therapy session. Taylor urged her to stay away from Brooke until her vengeful and murderous feelings were under control and then Stephanie’s memories treated us to a montage of highlights from Brooke’s affairs with both Eric and Ridge.
Meanwhile, Kristin and Zende caught up with the family, filling them in on all the fundraising they’ve been doing for AIDS treatment/prevention in Africa and thanking them for the contributions from Forrester, Spectra and Marone. With help from Thorne, Ridge, Massimo and Darla, they offered up tons of facts on the AIDS and orphan problem there. Things got a bit weird when Zende brought “Grandma” up and once he was excused, Kristin admitted they were really in town to get the scoop on Brooke and Eric, which she did. The family worried together over Stephanie’s next move, not to mention her mental stability. Ridge feared for Brooke’s safety and noted he was hoping she’d go to Genoa City for Lauren and Michael’s wedding.
At the beach house, Eric assured Brooke that he’d wait patiently to consummate their marriage. Then he suggested she make breakfast in her sexy lingerie to make up for not wanting to do it yet. The flirtatious meal ended in a kiss and Eric seemed to be making progress with his newest round of seduction, but alas, thanks to (thoughts of) Nick, the ever-understanding new hubby was left hanging again.
Suddenly, Stephanie arrived for a classic Brooke/Stephanie tête-à-tête, but this time Stephanie admitted her obsession with Brooke as her own flaw. “I’m spiraling out of control,” she cried and moved in to strangle Brooke. That’s when Taylor interrupted the fantasy. A defeated Stephanie begged for her help. “I’m afraid I might lose control of myself,” she sighed, clearly exhausted by the years of trying to fight Brooke. “She’s ruined me.”
