In the Friday, December 16, 2022, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful, Brooke and Taylor get a cake to celebrate dumping Ridge, and Bill begs Katie for another chance.
We also have Thursday’s B&B recap where Taylor and Brooke dumped Ridge, choosing themselves.
At Forrester, Steffy asks Finn how he’s doing. He’s fine and thinks Sheila made a big mistake.
She should have left town immediately, after escaping prison.
Hope apologizes when she interrupts to ask if they’ve heard anything from their parents.
None of them has heard a peep.
Charlie appears and tells them not to worry.
Sheila will never breach this establishment with him on the job.
They ask him what happened with their parents when he tells them he has eyes in the back of his head.
He admits he has no clue. He didn’t see them leave the building but offers to show camera footage.
Hope finds that a bit much. Both gals text their moms. Hope says her mom is at home.
Steffy says her mom is too.
They worry and run off to see how things are going.
Taylor and Brooke arrive at Brooke’s house, Brooke’s arms laden with a huge cake box.
They can’t believe they did this. The look on Ridge’s face.
He couldn’t believe it either. Broke asks if she’s sorry. “I am”
“You are?”
“That we waited 30 years to do this.”
Brooke takes out the cake, astounded that they’re on the same page at the same time.
They are happy they kissed Ridge goodbye. That’s a kiss they can agree on.
They pour what looks like champagne.
Taylor thinks it’s horrible how much Ridge waffled between them Brooke says they took their power back at the same time and it feels incredible.
She rocks on, flinging her hair back and forth.
Taylor never wanted to be her enemy. They laugh. Taylor calls her a badass. She’s creative, she left a mark on the fashion world and is the hottest chemist she’s known.
She’s also a good mom. She gets why Ridge was swept away. Brooke says she respects her, and what she chose to do with her life, and says is determined to help those who are struggling.
She’s an incredible healer. This is the nicest they’ve been to one another.
Taylor says they should never bash each other for a man. “We should lift each other up.”
They make a vow never to fight over Ridge again and dig into the cake.
They bash Ridge for being a waffler. Hope and Steffy arrive and watch their mothers eating cake and laughing.
They tell them the competition is over. If Ridge is in their lives it’s great but if he’s not it’s one too.
“They don’t need Ridge to be happy.” They say it on repeat and laugh, wondering why they didn’t do this before. Hope and Steffy look stunned.
