She tells him what he did was wrong and wishes she had her normal brother back.
Steffy thinks their parents would have gotten back together on their own. Her brother thinks that’s wishful hindsight.
She doesn’t know why he has to constantly re-learn about not crossing lines.
The damage he caused is enormous. He’ll have to pay the consequences.
Brooke shows up at Eric’s. “What a day!” she bellows to Taylor.
She explains she knows everything.
Taylor is upset with her son and worried about him.
Brooke says he needs serious professional help not from his enabling mother.
She feels sorry for her but is appalled she was going to go through with the wedding after learning what he did.
Taylor was going to tell him after the wedding.
She didn’t want to think it would matter to them getting married.
Brooke insists that Ridge never would have left her unless she did something unforgivable.
“I expected better from you Taylor,” Brooke complains, lecturing her about her moral failings.
The doctor tells her she only found out the truth five minutes before the ceremony. She knows this is a mess.
Steffy insisted she tell the truth and Thomas insisted she go ahead with the wedding. She thought they were both right.
She and Ridge were getting married because of them, not because of anything Brooke did.
Ridge chased her to the top of a mountain to swear he wanted to be with her and that had nothing to do with the other woman.
Brooke tells her that her past few weeks with Ridge were based on a lie.
She sent him off to do some soul-searching. She doesn’t want him back until he commits to her completely. None of them deserve the endless back and forth.
“For what it’s worth, I’m sorry,” Brooke says, wiping her nose.
Taylor is sorry too.
“Goodbye Brooke,” she says, walking out.
