In the Thursday, December 1, 2022, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful, Taylor worries about what’s next, Deacon sees Bill drowning his sorrows, and Thomas’ family stops him from going to Brooke’s.
We also have Wednesday’s B&B recap where Ridge walked out of his wedding to Taylor to tell Brooke that Thomas set her up and he’s more sorry than he can say.
At Brooke’s, Ridge explains to her that Thomas used an app to call CPS on himself and frame her.
He says his son played all of them. She wishes he had just told her about the call so they could get to the bottom of it.
“Why didn’t you just believe in me?” she asks.
Brooke demands all the details. He’ll try but doesn’t understand any of it.
Pouring some water, he recaps what happened. He didn’t see any of this happening under his nose.
He gets choked up explaining his grandson was being abused by his son right in front of him.
Brooke says Thomas needs real professional help, not Taylor.
He agrees and explains how the wedding stopped after the recording was played.
She’s outraged when she learns that Taylor knew what her son did and didn’t tell him.
Ridge says she would have told him. He came because the truth is out and he wanted to apologize.
She points out he’s been sharing his bed with another woman and leaving her heartbroken when he could have just shown her some respect and talked to her.
He apologizes again. He’s more sorry than he can say.
Tears stream down her cheeks and she shakes her head. She’s been waiting for him to come back.
She knows he’s sorry and didn’t mean to hurt her, but he was willing to throw away everything they had for another woman.
Brooke can’t just open her heart to him. This back and forth has to stop and he’s the one who has to it.
“What do you want with your life?” she prompts. Whatever it is, she will always love him.
He’ll always love her too, but he needs to take some time.
Brooke says he’ll always be her everything, but that’s not as important as her self-respect.
She won’t take anything less than she deserves.
She tells him to figure out what he wants out of life.
As he heads for the door, she stops him and gives him a hug.
He leaves and she holds her ring.
Back at Eric’s, Thomas blames his sister and she blames him for the mess they are in.
She accuses him of putting his son in a terrible position. He doesn’t see the big deal.
Their mother can’t handle this bickering right now.
Taylor wonders if Ridge will make things right and come back for the wedding.
Steffy thinks her brother would do the same thing all over again if it meant getting his way.
Thomas just wanted their parents happily married. Maybe he should go to Brooke’s? Taylor and Steffy yell, “No!”
His sister and mother thought he’d changed.
Taylor also thought telling Ridge the truth wouldn’t get in the way of getting married.
That was a complete lack of judgement.
Finn comes in and asks if there will be a wedding today. Steffy isn’t sure.
Taylor knows her daughter was in a difficult spot and is glad she said something when she couldn’t.
Steffy assures her Ridge knows she was in a tough position.
The shrink would have told him everything tomorrow, but now she doesn’t know what to expect.
When Thomas suggests he should go to Brooke’s to see what’s happening, everyone yells no.
He wants to know if he’s out. His sister explains that none of them know what’s happening now.
He tilted their father back to their mom, but may have ruined it.
Thomas blames his sister for messing things up.
His mom insists she did the right thing.
“Even if this means you lose dad forever?” he asks.

Bill sits at the bar at Il Giardino.
As he orders a drink, he tells Paul the bartender about how women want him to grow and change but they keep kicking him in the teeth.
He sips and grits his teeth.
As Bill stares, Deacon spots him and shakes his head.
Ridge orders another drink until Deacon asks “Big Guy” how he is.
He’s surprised he has time to hang out there instead of gobbling up companies and putting people out of work.
Deacon says this is no fun when Bill doesn’t punch back. He taunts him about striking out in the romance department.
He guesses Brooke shut him down and so did Katie.
“Welcome to the lonely hearts club pal,” Deacon says, offering him his hand. Bill sneers.
