In the Friday, August 26, 2022, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge barks at Deacon to stay away from Brooke, Brooke and Liam worry about Hope losing custody of Douglas, and all three sense something is off.
We also have Thursday’s B&B recap where Donna warned Brooke that Taylor was taking her place and Hope walked in on Sheila at Deacon’s.
Alone, Brooke walks around her house looking at pictures of Ridge. She thinks about how the situation with Thomas is driving her further from her husband.
Liam wanders in, looking for Hope. Brooke explains she paid her father a visit. She fills him in on Douglas staying for another night at Eric’s.
They rehash the situation with Hope and her father and trying to balance things for Ridge’s benefit. Without Sheila to distract him, he can focus all his energy against Deacon.
Sitting down, they chat about the potential custody battle. He hopes it will be worked out before lawyers get involved. Brooke thinks that would be nice, but Thomas is already acting like he’s taking the kid.
She thinks Thomas wants to change Douglas into the heir apparent for the Forrester family. Brooke guesses that Steffy and Taylor are pushing for this.
They think that Douglas is part of Hope’s family and Beth is his sister. Liam hoped that things would get back to normal with Sheila out of the picture, “But it’s like hnnnh?”
Brooke guesses there’s something he’s not saying. He says Deacon is trying his best not to disappoint his daughter, but old habits are hard to break. There are people just waiting for him to slip up.
He hopes that doesn’t happen.
