At Forrester, Carter apologized for intruding on a private moment between Hope and Liam. Liam said that he was just letting Hope know how he felt. Beth came bounding in, happy that Pam had given her a lemon bar. Liam tickled Beth, and they laughed together. Carter interrupted them to say that he would come back later.
Liam told Carter to stay and said that he and Beth were leaving instead. Beth told her mom that she really loved it when they were together as a family like that. Once alone, Hope apologized to Carter.
Hope said she knew how that must have looked to Carter. She tried to explain, but Carter told her that he didn’t blame Liam for wanting her back. “I wouldn’t give up on you, either,” Carter said.
Hope told Carter that she and Liam were no longer a couple for many reasons. “One of those reasons is you, Carter,” Hope said. She told Carter that the kiss they had shared was on her mind, and Carter felt the same way. “You are so beautiful. Those soulful, gorgeous eyes. I would stare into them all night long,” Carter told Hope. Hope smiled as he spoke, and then they kissed again.

Brooke went to Eric’s and told him that Ridge was spending the evening with Taylor. Eric noted Brooke’s frustration but assured Brooke that she was Ridge’s love. Brooke said that she understood that Ridge and Taylor had a lot to catch up on, but Taylor had been home for two weeks.
Brooke told Eric that she wasn’t sure if Taylor was being realistic about Brooke and Ridge’s relationship. Brooke didn’t want to see Taylor get hurt again by making herself vulnerable to another rejection from Ridge. Brooke told Eric that she had been giving Taylor and Ridge a lot of leeway and space, but she planned to drop by Steffy’s later and check in on them.
At Steffy’s, Ridge told Taylor that he got doctor referrals and did his homework. Ridge said he selected a healer to come over and treat Taylor. “A healer?” Taylor laughed. Ridge said that he knew about chakras and he told Taylor to keep an open mind.
A woman named Shandra came to the door, and Ridge introduced her to Taylor. Shandra said she could tell from Ridge’s energy that he really loved and cared for Taylor.
Shandra explained that everyone dealt with pain and trauma differently. She told Taylor that chakras were part of an ancient energy system. Shandra said when chakras were blocked or imbalanced, they needed a realignment. Ridge thought it could help Taylor’s heart and promised to be part of it. Taylor agreed to try it.
With the lights dimmed and many candles lit, Shandra asked Taylor and Ridge to sit face-to-face on two big pillows on the floor. Shandra explained that the symbiotic relationship between mind and body was crucial. She added that sometimes, this type of healing causes emotions to be released as the energy is cleared.
Shaundra asked Ridge and Taylor to gaze into one another’s eyes and to feel themselves completely open up to the universe, themselves, and each other. Outside the front door, Brooke arrived. She saw the setting inside and was dumbstruck.
Brooke walked away before they saw her, but she went to the back door so she wouldn’t be noticed. Meanwhile, Shaundra guided Taylor and Ridge to share their energy as they released all kinds of emotions and memories. “Keep locked into one another’s eyes and let the thoughts and images flow through like gentle waves. Breathe as if you’re one,” Shaundra said. She told Taylor to take Ridge’s hand and place it on her heart. Taylor did so, as Brooke watched through the back door.
Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful:

Taylor: “What you think you saw.”

Deacon: “I like to hear that.”
Steffy walks into Hope’s office as she calls out for Carter. She sees Carter and Hope quickly move away from one another. “What’s going on?” Steffy asks.
