In the Tuesday, February 15, 2022, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful, Brooke continues to defend Deacon from Ridge beating on him, while Steffy and Hope have it out over Brooke cheating.
We also have Monday’s B&B recap where Ridge and Deacon beat each other up before Brooke came between them.
Brooke intervenes when Ridge is pummelling Deacon in Il Giardino’s mop closet. She tells Deacon she was drunk and Deacon didn’t do a thing. Ridge screams, “He didn’t do a thing?”
He moves to kick Deacon when Brooke yells at him to stop it. Ridge can’t believe that she’s defending him. He slithered into her bed. “What kind of woman defends that? Please. No more,” he says. “No more.”
Deacon tries to explain but Ridge tells him to shut up. He asks how she can defend him after what he did to her relationship with her daughter. Deacon reminds Ridge they were drinking.
Brooke says she’s sorry for what happened. She’s still not sure how it is. She has to own it. “I don’t,” Ridge says. He can’t take this anymore. She asks what he’s saying. She again tells him she takes responsibility. Deacon did nothing wrong.
Ridge asks what that means to her. She knows he’s disillusioned with her. She wishes she could take it all back. She begs forgiveness, thinking they can get through it together. Tears stream down her face as she begs. Ridge screams and Deacon tries to get him to calm down while Brooke cries.
He asks how making out with this idiot on New Year’s Eve was supporting her daughter. He’s overcome with emotion as he reminds her that she did this with Bill, too. He loves her so much it hurts but he doesn’t know what to do. Brooke’s sorry and ashamed.
She begs for forgiveness. He tells her that she chose Deacon over him. “No,” Brooke says. He told her the man would drive a wedge between them. Ridge loves her but he’s tired and can’t do this anymore.
At Forrester Creations, Steffy talks to Hope about Brooke taking advantage of her dad by spending the night with Deacon while her dad was away working. Hope tells Steffy to stop it. She’s acting like it was an affair when it was one night and nothing happened.
Steffy believes the hold Brooke has over her father is finally over. Hope knows that she blames Brooke for him leaving her family but Ridge chose Brooke.
Hope says she messed up but Steffy thinks she gets bored and likes to shake things up by cheating on her dad. How can she defend her mother? She’s trying to justify the shady things Deacon has done because he’s her father.
Hope gathers files and listens as Steffy calls what Deacon did disrespectful. Hope calls it a relapse. Her judgment was impaired and she doesn’t remember half the night. She’s torn up over it. Steffy still thinks it’s no excuse.
Hope reminds her of the mistakes she’s made that she regrets. Steffy thinks this could have been avoided but Brooke ignored her father’s warnings to stay away from Deacon. Hope says Deacon was there for her, not Brooke.
Hope invites her to blame her, not Brooke. Steffy can’t let her mom off the hook. Steffy calls her father a snake and repeats that her mom got drunk and let Deacon spend the night in her father’s bed. Hope says that ultimately, all that matters is Ridge’s reaction, not Steffy’s opinion.
Hope wants him to forgive her and Steffy thinks she’ll probably do it once she talks to him about being his destiny. He won’t get respect but Steffy believes he’d get that from her mother. Steffy thinks that she must hate Ridge. Hope loves Ridge.
She’s sorry Ridge got hurt and that her mother fell off the wagon. She’s sorry she pushed too hard to get Deacon in their lives. Hope thinks she should go all out and try to get her parents back together because her dad’s done with Brooke.
