B&B December comings and goings
The doctor has to keep Donna out of the exam room as Eric is rushed in.
She watches through the door and prays for a miracle.
Ridge and Brooke arrive. The attending doctor comes out and admits to Ridge that they don’t know if his father will make it.
Eric’s condition is extremely critical.
The doctor allows the family in. Sitting at his side, Donna begs honey bear to come back to her. She needs him.
After kissing him, she cries and walks away.
Brooke approaches and tells Eric about their incredible bond. She can’t imagine him not in their lives.
He’s supported her and she loves him for that. She urges him to keep fighting.
Ridge knows his father didn’t want them crying at his bedside, but this is love, not pity.
Eric is his father and his friend and he loves him very much.
When Ridge is left alone with his father, he recalls a family trip to Ireland when he was a child. He wandered off on his own and fell down a hill into a forrest.
He couldn’t move. It got dark and started to rain. He knew fear and worried that a tiger would come to eat him.
When he heard something coming, it turned out to be Eric. He wrapped him up and took him away.
His father became a superhero to him that day and that’s never gone away.
He hates that he thinks he wanted him out of the company. He just wanted him to enjoy his retirement.
Seeing him at the big desk with his stapler has only reminded him of how he’s taught him how to be a man and be a designer.
He loves deeply and his kids have always needed him. Ridge assures him that they will be okay without him.
Choking back his tears, Ridge tells him that if he wants to go, he can go. It’s okay.
Steffy arrives in the hallway and is told that Eric is still unconscious.
Finn rushes over to her and she demands some answers.
He doesn’t have any, but he’s been working on something for Eric.
All of his late nights working have been spent looking for a treatment for Eric.
Ridge, Brooke, and Donna join them and Steffy blurts out that her husband has been working on a treament.
Finn warns that it is very experimental and there are no guarantees. It would be a big chance.
It’s a blood cleansing treatment combined with a transplant and both of these things will be painful.
Ridge has the medical power of attorney so Finn tells him he needs to make the decision.
They can try or they can transfer him to comfort care and let him go.
Ridge says he loves his dad too much to put him through all that.
“We gotta let him go. Let him die in peace,” he says.
Donna’s jaw drops.
