On today’s The Bold and the Beautiful episode, Hope Logan finally gave into her pent-up passions for her former tormentor.
In addition, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) peered through a magical keyhole and spied his…wait for it…DESTINY! Now, let’s dig a little deeper into what exactly happened.
After preening and posing for photogs, Hope (Annika Noelle) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) agreed to stand for a few more questions. One journalist wondered what was the key to the pair’s extraordinary success. Teamwork, of course. He and Hope truly rely on and trust one another. That kind of relationship can’t be beat.
A few queries were lobbed Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge’s way, particularly whether or not the two of them were together. No, no, they weren’t. They might be in Rome together, but they’re not “together” together. As for their future plans, well, they’ll be further exploring Rome.

Putting the spotlight back on everyone but himself, Ridge sang Hope and Thomas’s praises — Thomas especially — and granted that, while he may have lost some of his passion and drive in the intervening years, he knew that Forrester Creations was in good hands.
Once the assemblage had dispersed, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) corralled Hope and congratulated her on her unqualified success. Without Hope and her vision and talent, they couldn’t have succeeded. Hope was touched and she expressed a desire for her and Steffy to better be friends; Steffy enthusiastically agreed.
What’s more, Steffy assured Hope that she’d no longer be asking her loaded questions about her feelings for Thomas or her commitment to Liam (Scott Clifton). Hope has told her she has everything under control, and she’s proven that to be true.
Enter Thomas. He’d come to once again tout Hope’s genius and couldn’t help but notice how distracted she seemed — and that was owing to having heard nothing from Liam, despite her repeated efforts to get in touch. In hopes of boosting Hope’s spirits, Thomas suggested they go sightseeing.
Off the two went, hitting up all the touristy spots in the city. Unbeknownst to them, Liam was in hot pursuit, desperate as he was to surprise his wife and apologize for being late to the metaphorical party. No sooner had Liam spotted them standing before the Colosseum — whose history Thomas helpfully mansplained — than Hope cupped Thomas’s face in her hands and pulled him in for a kiss!
Meanwhile, Brooke and Ridge — and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), for some reason — found themselves roped into traipsing the Aventine Hill, where a door whose keyhole is purported to show looky-loos their future exists. Make that their DESTINY!
Of course, directionally challenged Brooke lost direction and wound up on the other side of the structure at the exact same time that Ridge put his eye to the opening. If that isn’t “a sign,” then what is?
