The Bold and the Beautiful Recap
In the CEO’s office, Steffy showed a photo of Kelly to her dad, and they talked about the wedding and how Ridge wasn’t in the mood to go. He got a call from Charlie, who told him that Eric was in the building.
Ridge found Eric on the runway. “I needed to come here. I needed to come to the building…Forrester,” Eric told Ridge when he asked why he wasn’t at the wedding.
Ridge told Eric that he was glad he was there and said the things that he had learned from him. “I’d be nothing without you,” Ridge told his dad. The pair sat down, and Ridge explained that he wanted his dad to be healthy so he’d be around longer; he meant no offense by the retirement party.
Ridge said he thought retirement would be the icing on the cake to all of his accomplishments. “A cake that Brooke and I pretty much finished off,” he tried to quip but Eric rolled his eyes. “We’re partners. And I will be your partner as long as you’ll have me,” Ridge said to his dad.
At Taylor’s office, Sheila insisted that she should have been invited to the wedding. Taylor told her to calm down and think because crashing the event was a crazy thing to do. “Crazy?” Sheila seethed, “Is that your professional opinion?” Taylor said she didn’t call Sheila crazy.
Sheila apologized for snapping and told Taylor she appreciated that she was listening to her. Taylor advised her to be the best version of herself. She asked Sheila not to show up unexpectedly again in the future, as it was a private space for her patients.
Sheila respected Taylor’s request and thanked her for the support she’d shown her and Deacon. “Just don’t let me down,” she added.
After Sheila left, Taylor had a visit from Steffy, and she told her about Sheila’s visit. “She’s delusional,” Steffy said. She shared that Ridge didn’t go to the wedding, either. Taylor wondered if Ridge was having second thoughts about Eric retiring.
At Brooke’s, Beth presided over the wedding. She told everyone that it might not be typical, but it was more of a celebration of her parents and thanked them both for putting their family back together.
Deacon stood and gave a speech about how proud he was to give his blessing, noting that everyone had come to wish them a lifetime of happiness. Deke, Donna, and Katie all stood and spoke, reciting poems and giving their well-wishes for the happy couple.
Beth excitedly announced it was time for the vows. Hope and Liam spoke their own vows, telling one another how much they loved the other and believed in their future.
When they were done, Beth led them through saying their “I dos.” Douglas brought over the rings as Beth told them each to say, “With this ring, I thee wed, excited for all the adventures ahead.” After they exchanged rings, Beth announced them husband and wife and said they could kiss.
