We also have Friday’s B&B recap where Thomas was thrown into a rage when Steffy refused to let him see Douglas after she’d Promised Hope she would protect him.
At the cliff house, Finn suggests that Thomas leave before he upsets Douglas. This upsets Thomas, who wants to check and see how his son is doing.
Steffy makes it clear that just because his son is living there does not mean he has access whenever he wants.
Thomas refuses to let anyone keep him from his son.
His sister isn’t trying to tell him what to do. He says she can’t throw her weight around when it comes to his son. This isn’t the office.

B&B opinion: Douglas choosing Steffy over Hope
At Il Giardino, Taylor and Brooke are digesting their meal and trying to figure out if they should order dessert or not. Doc is always up for a sweet bite.
Paul the waiter steps over to tell them to enjoy life as much as possible and calls Brooke a “beautiful woman.”
After he fetches the menu, Brooke mulls it over and decides to pass on the dessert.
“The chocolate cake or the waiter?” Taylor says, suggesting that he wants to serve her “decadence” on a plate.
Brooke says he’s too young. Besides, he is probably following Deacon’s orders or looking for big a tip.
Taylor stops herself from cracking a joke and they fan themselves with their menus.
She pushes Brooke to admit that Paul is hot. Brooke says he probably flirts with everyone.
He didn’t flirt with Taylor. Brooke tells her how great she is.
Taylor tells her that she’s beautiful inside and out, a real free spirit. That might be the roadmap to happiness.
Brooke reminds her it’s been a roadmap to a lot of trouble and heartbreak. Taylor blames Ridge for that.
Paul comes back and asks if he can entice the ladies. Brooke passes. He asks if there’s anything else he can do for her.
She just wants to get the check. Taylor gets his name. He’s “Hollis” to his friends.
Once he steps off, Taylor teases Brooke some more about Hollis.
Brooke laughs until she snorts. She tells her friend that she is reading into this.
Taylor says that young mister Hollis is “in his feels” and “goo-goo ga-ga” for her.
Brooke strokes her hand and tells her their friendship is more important right now.
Taylor repeats that the waiter is cute.
Her friend only wants to talk about their unexpected friendship. She asks her to move in again.
Taylor is still “noodling” it around but may take her up on that.
Hollis returns and claims there was something glitchy with Brooke’s card so he asks for her number so he can text the receipt to her.
After he walks off with it, Taylor teases her. Brooke claims he just wants to send her a receipt.
In a moment, he sends her a text with his number and an emoji she can’t understand. The doctor explains it’s the smirky face and that means read between the lines.
Brooke’s jaw drops. She shakes her head. Hollis smiles at her and she smiles back.
Taylor notices she seems flustered.
