When Taylor (Rebecca Budig) walked into the Forrester mansion, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) was on her way out. She had just slapped Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) across the face for betraying her with Taylor, and when she saw Taylor in her path, she grabbed her by the shoulders and chucked her out of the way.

After Ridge tells Taylor what she missed, they talk about Brooke, their relationship, and the revelations that Ridge has had about their patterns. Ridge claims that he has wasted a lot of time repeating mistakes, and he doesn’t want to do that anymore. He wonders if Taylor has always been the one he’s turned to when things with Brooke go sideways because she’s the one he should be with.

On Wednesday, Taylor and Ridge share a fiery kiss — sparks fly, and a night of undeniable passion awaits. It’s the beginning of the Tridge reunion…but will it last?

…by means of mergers and acquisitions. Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) all over it, like perfume on a wrist. And he’s got his first non-Forrester family member merger in sight: fragrances.

Carter and Hope (Annika Noelle) met with Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) and Fanny Greyson (Elsa Esnoult) and sampled their fragrances. But no matter what they want, they don’t actually run the company. There’s a new CEO who has to do that, and Brooke is fired up to show what a Logan can do at the helm of Forrester Creations.

On Wednesday, Brooke gives the green light to their new fragrance line, leaving Hope and Carter overjoyed. The first steps to the expansion that Carter has dreamed about are actually happening. Hope might be proud of Carter and being right by his side as he makes bold moves — but is he causing the company a world of debt like Ridge and Eric (John McCook) predicted would be the downfall of Forrester Creations?
