While Taylor Leaves For Aspen, Ridge Talks to Brooke and Finally Believes She Called CPS

In the Monday, October 3, 2022, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge says he’ll question Brooke about calling CPS but when it comes down to it, he chickens out, while Taylor takes off to Aspen. 

We also have Friday’s B&B recap where Brooke and Liam wondered who called CPS, Ridge struggled to believe his wife would call CPS and Steffy tried to get her mama to go to Aspen for some rest.

At Eric’s, Ridge finds it unbelievable that his wife would call CPS on his son.

Thomas doesn’t doubt it was her. They heard her voice.

He claims Brooke has always hated him, prompting Ridge to sniff that she has not.

She wouldn’t lie to him about this! He’s off to get her to tell him the truth. “To my face.”

He asks his son to keep quiet until he can talk to his wife. If she did this, he has to give her a chance to come clean.

At home, Brooke texts Ridge to ask when he’s coming home when Hope barges in yelling, “What’s this Liam told me about CPS?”

Brooke says she spoke with Ridge briefly and Douglas is fine. Hope yells at her mother, demanding to know what prompted this. Brooke has no clue but it worries her.

Maybe Hope can use it to get Douglas back home. “Where he belongs.”

Hope refuses to force that issue after what they just went through. She wonders how Brooke thinks it must have felt to have CPS question them that way.

Brooke shrugs. “Well then maybe he shouldn’t be wielding knives around his son.” Brooke worries he’ll fall on the knife if it’s left out like that all the time.

Hope tries to defend Thomas but Brooke doesn’t like it. He knows how to manipulate her.

Hope denies being naive. Brooke asks if it’s wise to be around Thomas as much as she is. Hope thinks she sounds just like Liam.

Edgar calls Hope and they discuss how excited she is for their collaboration.

She thinks some decision should be Thomas’, who is the lead designer. She’ll have him reach out.

They disconnect and Brooke gives her daughter a look. Brooke realizes how interwoven her life with Thomas really is. Is it coincidental?

That makes Hope feel like she thinks she’s incapable of making wise decisions.

She asks her mom to give her more credit. She knows who Thomas is.

Brooke reminds her he used her in the past. Hope says it was in the past and she doesn’t think he deserved that. Hope goes off to work.

B&B comings and goings


At the cliffhouse, Steffy knows her mom wants space.

Dollar Bill’s place in Aspen is perfect for that.

Taylor thinks she may be right. When she returns from Aspen she wants to move on completely from Ridge.

It’s way past time.

She didn’t return to L.A. to “steal her husband.”

Steffy says they have a strong connection but her mom reminds her that her father is married.

Steffy wants her to keep the door open. Brooke will inevitably screw up.

Taylor’s not down for waiting around for possibilities anymore. She needs to get away to figure out her future. She goes to pack.

On Bill’s plane, Taylor’s looking forward to being somewhere where there are no reminders of Ridge.

She remembers being on the plane last time when Steffy reunited with Finn.

Steffy reminds her of Ridge and that kiss in Monaco. Taylor’s a little exasperated. Steffy begs her mom not to give up.

A beep is heard. “Put your seatbelt on,” Taylor says. She can’t stop thinking of kissing Ridge while Steffy goes off to call Finn to see if he can join them.

Taylor likes that idea. It’ll “take the heat off of her from her relentless daughter.” 

Steffy, “Am I really that bad.”
Taylor, “Yes.” She laughs.

Ridge arrives home to find Brooke making dinner reservations. She thought it’d be nice to take his mind off of what happened today. She thinks it’s crazy. He calls it disturbing.

She’s sorry he had to experience it and asks if he’s learned anything else.

Did someone cross Thomas lately? Brooke wonders if whoever called thought they were going after Thomas, not Douglas. She hopes that they were gentle with Douglas.

“They weren’t,” Ridge says. He touches her cheek and says he has to go.

He forgot something at the office.

He runs away with Brooke confused.

Outside, he stares. “It was you,” he says, remembering hearing her voice on the tape.

“You lied to me, it was you,” he says on repeat.
