Key Takeaways

- Ridge admitted that he couldn’t take that title away from his daughter.
- Brooke asked Ridge to consider her daughter’s needs as well.
Brooke Turns On the Waterworks
Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) knows how to get through Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye). At the top of Monday’s episode, Ridge explained to Brooke that he couldn’t take Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) title away from her.
Ridge asked if they could agree that it’s not right to make an unnecessary change. In a surprise twist, Brooke agreed. Then, she broke down in tears after listening to Ridge’s emotional speech. Brooke admitted she was okay with losing the co-CEO title.
However, Brooke still wanted something from him. She encouraged him to reactivate Hope for the Future. She asked Ridge to speak with Steffy on behalf of her daughter, Hope (Annika Noelle).
Brooke Has a Way With Ridge
Brooke did something she’s never done before. She managed to be diplomatic and empathetic about losing the title. She even texted Steffy, writing, “You’re a great CEO. No one can do it better than you.”
Steffy was shocked by Brooke’s words. She even hearted her stepmother’s text, which pleased Brooke. Suddenly, everything was working according to her plan. Then, Brooke headed upstairs, not to change into Ridge’s dress, but into a robe and nightie.
She was ready to show him how much he means to her, even if she didn’t get the co-CEO title. Once again, Brooke turned on the charm. She wanted to distract Ridge from what she was really doing, which was manipulating him.
Keeping the Peace With Steffy
By paying Steffy compliments and seducing Ridge, Brooke is pretending to let the co-CEO fight go. However, she’s not done fighting for her daughter just yet. She immediately pivoted to reactivating Hope for the Future.
She’s convinced that she can do that by showing Ridge how much he means to her. Ridge didn’t expect to have another incredible night with his wife, especially after he let her down. He has no idea that Brooke is trying to work her way into his head.
But will it work? This week’s spoilers suggest that Hope will receive devastating news about her future. What will Hope do about it next? Will she finally leave Forrester Creations and her mom behind?
