Episode 13

Time of Day: Same Day; Night

At the Logan Mansion, in the Living Room, Brooke is standing in the room. Ridge is over by the door in the Foyer. He shuts the door, turns around, and goes to Brooke.

BROOKE: Amber Moore. I can’t believe it.

RIDGE: Same here. Never in a million years did I think that Steffy would call up Amber and offer her Sally’s old position. It blows my mind.

BROOKE: Mine too. I won’t deny Amber’s talents, even after all she has done to my family. I just wonder why she took this job. Something tells me she took it for a lot more than just the cushy paycheck.

At Thomas’ Apartment, in the Living Room, Thomas and Amber are curled up on the couch. The room is still dimly lit.

AMBER: I’m so happy to be back in LA. But, never in a million years did I think that our plan would take off. I mean, Steffy offered me the position. It was like fate.

THOMAS: I didn’t think she’d actually offer it to you.

AMBER: Same here. When you texted me a few months back about this plan of your’s, I didn’t know how it would work out. I mean, none of the pieces were falling into place.

THOMAS: That is until Sally got sick. Her illness became our golden ticket.

AMBER: And, we can also say that this plan kicked off our love story.

Amber leans in, smiles, and kisses Thomas passionately.

At Taylor’s Apartment, in the Living Room, Taylor and Jack enter the apartment. Jack closes the door behind them. They walk over to the couch.

JACK: What you did was completely out of hand. I’m lucky as hell that Mr. Spencer kept my job offer after you slapped him like that.

TAYLOR: He deserved it. And, stop calling him Mr. Spencer. Bill doesn’t show anyone respect. Why should you show him any?

JACK: Mom, please! This is my livelihood here!

TAYLOR: Jack, I really do hope that you start to see some reason here. Bill is dangerous. And, if I have to let you go and do this job, all for you to fall flat on your face from Bill’s actions, then so be it. I will do anything to get you to see how terrible he is.

At Il Giardino, Shauna is sitting at a table. She is having a bowl of pasta and drinking a glass of red wine. She is looking down at her phone, texting.

//QUINN//

Sry that I can’t make it. Eric and I just need some us time.

//SHAUNA//

No problem, bestie. We have plenty of time to talk about Brooke later.

//QUINN//

Yes, we most certainly do. Have a good night.

Shauna smiles and clicks off her phone. Then, a Waiter comes up to her.

WAITER: Can I get you anything else, miss?

SHAUNA: Just the check, thank you.

Before the Waiter walks off, Shauna notices Carter over at the bar.

SHAUNA: Wait.

WAITER: Yes, miss?

SHAUNA: Before you grab me the check, do me a favor and get me another glass of wine. And, get that (pointing) man another glass of whatever he’s having.

WAITER: Very good.

The Waiter nods and walks off. Shauna smiles over at Carter. Carter, feeling her presence, turns around looks at her from across the restaurant. Shauna waves at him. Carter waves back.

Back at Taylor’s Apartment, in the Living Room, Taylor sets her purse down.

TAYLOR: Honey, I’ve been a psychiatrist for a very long time now. I know these things. I can read people. It took me a long time to heal from my psychotic break from when I shot Bill. However, no one can tell me that he didn’t need to be knocked down a few pegs. I was wrong for shooting Bill. But, he was still in the wrong for all the stuff he has pulled through the years.

JACK: The Spencers are ruthless. That much I know. I’m not saying I want to be apart of their ruthlessness. I do want to be a part of their business though. Bill’s father created a media empire. That empire has become known all around the world. I’m just begging you to accept that I want to be apart of that.

TAYLOR: I can accept it. I can accept that you want a cushy lifestyle that you most certainly deserve. Jack, I can get you a job at Forrester. I know that you talked about nepotism. But, nepotism would be far better than working for Bill’s shady company.

JACK: Mom, I don’t want to talk about this any longer. I just want to walk into that building tomorrow and be the best businessman I can be. I deserve this. I’ve worked hard for this. I can’t wait to show the world my skills. I want you to see those skills. I want you to be proud of the skills that I have learned. Take some time to think this over. Take some time to see that I really want this. I love you, mom. But, what you’ve said isn’t going to make me change anything.

Jack kisses Taylor on the cheek and then walks off.

Back at Il Giardino, Shauna gets up from her table, carrying her glass of wine, and walks over to Carter at the bar. She sets her purse and her glass of wine on the bar table. She then sits in the chair next to Carter.

SHAUNA: Hi, Carter.

CARTER: Hello, Miss Fulton.

SHAUNA: Please, call me Shauna.

Shauna extends her right hand and shakes Carter’s hand.

SHAUNA: Are you enjoying that drink?

CARTER: I am. You know, you didn’t have to buy me a drink.

SHAUNA: You’re right, I didn’t. However, I definitely wanted to.

CARTER: Oh yeah? Why’s that?

SHAUNA: I believe that a good looking man always deserves a good drink after a very long day. Anyway, (raises glass) here’s to good alcohol.

CARTER: Amen to that.

Carter raises his glass and clinks it with Shauna’s.

Back at the Logan Mansion, in the Living Room, Brooke steps passed Ridge and the coffee table. She then turns back around to face him.

BROOKE: Last time Amber was in LA, she claimed that she had changed. However, she then started drugging my daughter, conning Liam and Marcus, and of course she finished up with trying to make everyone believe that Rick was something he’s not.

RIDGE: You don’t have to tell me, Logan. I know exactly what kind of person Amber is. She’s a classic manipulator. And, she’s pure evil.

BROOKE: Not always. But, when Amber plays a game, she plays to win. And, she definitely always knows how to creatively move the chess pieces on her board. I will tell you this, though. If Amber is planning something this go around, if she is trying to once again hurt my family, or even your’s, I’ll be ready. We will all be ready.

Back at Thomas’ Apartment, in the Living Room, Thomas is standing over by a small, lit fireplace. Amber gets up from the couch and goes to him.

THOMAS: My family is not going to know what hit them when our plan truly starts to go into action. They’ll be shocked. Some may even be hurt.

AMBER: Thomas, you need to do this. You need to get back at everyone who has ever disowned you or even hurt you. I know what it’s like to struggle for forgiveness. At some point, you just want to stop struggling for it and realize your true self.

THOMAS: That’s exactly why I brought you back here to town. And, that’s exactly why I’ve started to fall in love with you, Amber.

Amber then gets close to Thomas and begins to undo the belt to his pants.

AMBER: Now, enough talk about business. Let’s focus on the pleasure.

Amber begins to kiss Thomas. The camera zooms in on their kiss.

Episode 12

Time of Day: Same Day; Evening

At the Logan Mansion, in the Living Room, Brooke and Ridge are curled up on the couch. They are now dressed back in more comfortable day clothes, such as jeans and a comfortable shirt. They are both drinking a glass of red wine.

BROOKE: I’m surprised that we haven’t gotten any calls from the office.

RIDGE: Same here. They’re either cleaning up a huge, busy mess…

BROOKE: Or, they finally realized that we both deserved a day off.

As Brooke and Ridge lean in for a kiss, the doorbell is heard ringing.

RIDGE: Well, we can say that we got away with it for a few hours.

BROOKE: Well, well, well, I guess we have to return to reality.

Brooke and Ridge smile at one another. As the doorbell is rung again, Ridge gets up and walks to the door to answer it. Brooke stands, as the camera follows Ridge to the Entrance Way.

RIDGE: (opening the door) Steffy, what are you doing here?

STEFFY: (smiling) I thought I’d find you here, dad. When you weren’t at the guest hosue, this is the first place that I thought of. Can I come in?

RIDGE: Sure thing.

Steffy enters. Ridge shuts the door and the two walk into the living room.

STEFFY: Hi, Brooke.

BROOKE: Hello, Steffy. What brings you by?

STEFFY: Well, dad, you told me to keep you updated on my search for someone to fill Sally’s position in the design department.

RIDGE: So, I assume you found someone?

STEFFY: I did. And, she’s damn good. That much I know. However, I don’t think that you’re going to like who I picked. In fact, I’m one hundred percent sure that you won’t like it one bit.

At Thomas’ Apartment, in the Living Room, Thomas is sitting on the couch. The living room is very dimly lit. Only a few candles are lit and one lamp turned on.

THOMAS: My plan is coming together nicely. Very nicely. And, because of my sister’s hiring skills, it’s gonna get even closer to the big finale that I’ve always wanted. Pretty soon, all of LA will see that I am the next Forrester in line to take over everything that generations before spent their lives building.

Thomas smiles mischievously.

At Spencer Publications, in Bill’s Office, Jack walks over to Taylor.

JACK: Mom, you really need to leave. It’s not appropriate for you to be here.

BILL: Your son is right, Taylor. One wrong move and I’ll call my security to throw you out of here faster than that dressmaker Ridge Forrester can pull together a cheap looking collection that looks like it came from Dollar General.

TAYLOR: Bill, I will not be intimidated by you any longer. And, I will not let you take my son down your dark and dangerous path that you’ve taken so many people down before.

BILL: Taylor, go! Now!

JACK: Mom, please.

TAYLOR: No! I will stop this from happening.

BILL: There’s no way you can do that. I’m already prepared to make Jack an irresistible offer. This is one I know he cannot refuse.

JACK: Really?

BILL: Yes. Jack, how would you like to be the new executive editor of special content projects? You’ll even have your own office with a view.

TAYLOR: Bill, you can make offers all day long. However, I know damn good and well that my son would never accept a job from you. I may have done the unthinkable and unforgivable when I shot you, however, that does not change the bastard that you are. Go ahead, Jack. Turn him down. Turn him down right now.

Back at the Logan Mansion, in the Living Room, Brooke comes out from behind the coffee table and walks over to Ridge, who is still standing across from Steffy.

RIDGE: Who exactly did you hire that I wouldn’t be happy with?

BROOKE: I would like to know that too. You definitely have us engulfed in suspense. So, come on, Steffy, share it with us. Who did you hire to take Sally’s place at the company?

STEFFY: Before I tell you two, I think you should know that this isn’t personal. I spent hours trying to find someone that would be worthy of Sally’s place. I was looking for someone with not only creativity and drive, but also with a flare for the unique, just like Sally.

RIDGE: That’s a good idea. Who posseses those qualities in your opinion?

STEFFY: Someone who used to live in LA. Someone we all know.

BROOKE: Steffy, as much as I love playing 20 questions…

STEFFY: I get it. I do. I’ve kept you hanging long enough. I just…

RIDGE: You’re just trying to calm the situation.

STEFFY: Exactly.

RIDGE: Honey, I trusted you with this. I let you take this one, because I knew that you would pick whoever was best for the job.

STEFFY: (sighs) I gave Amber Moore a call. And, she accepted my offer right away. She should be in LA any day now.

BROOKE: Really? You hired Amber of all people?

RIDGE: Wow. I’m shocked.

STEFFY: I had a feeling you would say that. I promise you that Amber will live up to the expectations that I set forth for her. She’s a great designer.

RIDGE: Oh, honey, it was never Amber’s talent that I worried about.

BROOKE: Same here. Amber always has something up her sleeve. She has never returned to this town without some hidden agenda. God only knows what that is now.

Back at Spencer Publications, in Bill’s Office, Bill is now leaning up against his desk.

BILL: Come on, Jack. You don’t want to pass this up. Your starting salary alone would be more money than you could’ve ever dreamed of. And, since you would be an executive in the top tier of this company, you’ll even be issued a company penthouse and car.

JACK: Mr. Spencer, thank you for telling me that. That’s amazing.

TAYLOR: Jack, can’t you see what’s going on here? He’s manipulating our mother/son relationship. He’s throwing anything at the wall till it sticks and you accept his offer.

JACK: Mom, I just can’t pass this up. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime offer. You have to know that. This is everything that I have ever worked for. I spent so many years in business school. I spent all that time in the library and in the classroom. And, I even spent all that time shadowing executive after executive until they taught me valuable lessons that I would someday carry onto my own job as an executive at a multi-million dollar corporation. This is what I want. This is what I crave.

TAYLOR: Don’t do this, son! Please!

JACK: Too late, mom. Mr. Spencer, I accept your offer.

BILL: (smiling) Very good. Welcome aboard to Spencer Publications.

Bill goes to Jack. Bill reaches to shake Jack’s hand. However, before he can, Taylor slaps Bill across the face. Taylor then gets very close to Bill.

TAYLOR: Damn you, Bill Spencer. Damn you.

Back at Thomas’ Apartment, in the Living Room, Thomas is pacing around the room.

THOMAS: Everything is finally falling into place. I can’t believe it. And, no one has figured it out. Sure, Hope and Liam have stayed hot on my trail. But, they haven’t even come close to what my plan actually is.

Then, a knock is heard at the door.

THOMAS: Finally, my plan can officially begin.

Thomas goes to the door.

THOMAS: (opening the door/smiling) Welcome home, babe.

AMBER: Hello, Thomas. It’s good to be home, honey.

The camera cuts back and forth between Amber and Thomas, smiling at one another.

Episode 11

Time of Day: Same Day; Afternoon

At Forrester Creations, in the Design Room, Steffy and Hope are looking at three mannequins which are all dressed in sundresses and summer clothes. Each of them are wearing big, beachy hats.

HOPE: So, I hope you like what I’m proposing here. I wanted to go for something that would take normal, everyday outfits to new heights. I think by adding the unexpectedness of the beach hats is a great way to catch someone’s eye.

STEFFY: I totally agree. I especially like how it compliments all the outfits. The white sun hat goes very well with the yellow sundress. Did Sally design these?

HOPE: Yes, she did. I miss her already, to be quite honest. No one has an eye like her.

STEFFY: You got that right. I assume that you heard about her trip?

HOPE: Yeah. She told me before she left this morning why she was taking it.

STEFFY: I left the door open for her to return, just in case. However, I won’t lie. My father still needs someone to collaborate with on all future lines. So…

HOPE: You’ve found a replacement?

STEFFY: Yes.

HOPE: What about Zoe's position? Will you be hiring a new model?

STEFFY: I don’t know.

HOPE: Steffy, can I ask you a question about Zoe?

STEFFY: Does it pertain to my brother?

HOPE: Yes.

STEFFY: Hope, I’m not sure it’s appropriate that we talk about the whole Thomas situation at this moment. Nor, do I think it’s appropriate for you to bring it up in front of your superior.

HOPE: Steffy, I’m sorry, but I have to know how you feel about this.

STEFFY: Feel about what?

HOPE: Everything! From Zoe moving halfway across the world, to Douglas being sent to boarding school unexpectedly. You don’t find any of Thomas’ most recent behavior suspicious? There’s no denying he tried to clutch Zoe in his orbit before she left. And, why would he send Douglas off to school? It’s all very odd.

STEFFY: Seriously, Hope? I was shocked by Zoe’s sudden departure. However, she got an amazing opportunity back in London. And, as for my nephew, he is getting one of the best educations that the whole world has to offer. What I see here, and what I think about all of this, is that your just as desperate as ever. And, the reason for your desperation is because you somehow want to prove that Thomas is a bad guy. Well, I got news for you, Hope, he’s not. So, do us all a favor and back off.

At Spencer Publications, in Bill’s Office, Jack and Bill are standing over by the desk. They both shake hands with one another.

JACK: Mr. Spencer, thank you so much for giving me this chance.

BILL: No problem, Jack. Please, have a seat.

Jack sits down in front of the desk. Bill comes around the desk and has a seat in his main chair. He then lets out a sigh and leans back.

BILL: How have you been? I haven’t seen you since you were a little kid.

JACK: I’ve been good. I’ve just been spending all this time with my father and getting a good college education and focusing on my business prospects.

BILL: I saw that you went to Harvard. Impressive.

JACK: Thank you.

BILL: Furthermore, you graduated at the top of your class. That must’ve not been a very easy task to accomplish. I’m sure your classmates were awfully competitive.

JACK: Yes, they were. However, I was sure to beat out the competition at every turn. After all, at the end of the day, that’s what’s most important.

Bill smiles at Jack’s admission.

At the Logan Mansion, in the Master Bedroom, Brooke and Ridge are laying in bed, under the covers. They have just finished making love. Brooke is propped up by Ridge’s chest.

BROOKE: That was absolutely amazing. And, it was totally worth taking the rest of the day as a personal day from work.

RIDGE: That was a good call you made.

BROOKE: (laughs) I like to think so. It has been a long time since I’ve felt this close to you, Ridge. I’ve missed it so very much.

RIDGE: I’ve missed this too, Logan.

BROOKE: Just think, pretty soon, you’ll have your things moved back in and then we can continue our lives with one another.

RIDGE: For better or worse.

BROOKE: Definitely. And, you know what, I think I have an idea about how we should reintroduce ourselves as Mr. and Mrs. Forrester all over again.

RIDGE: What do you mean?

BROOKE: I think that we should invite all of LA to an over the top, extravagant, elegant, gathering at the Forrester mansion. It’ll be just like old times. And, to top it all off, it’ll let everyone know that our marriage and love for one another is still going strong.

Back at Forrester Creations, in the Design Room, Steffy begins to remove the beach hats and other accessories from the mannequins. She puts them on the table.

HOPE: Steffy, I’m sorry. You’re right, this was wrong to discuss with you.

STEFFY: (turning around/sighs) I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have snapped at you.

HOPE: No, it’s fine. It was perfectly valid. I understand where you’re coming from. Look, what Thomas did to both of us was wrong. And, in a way, I haven’t gotten over it.

STEFFY: I haven’t either, Hope. But, I’m trying to get through it. Since my mother got back into town, I promised her and Thomas that I would try. I’m trying. He is too. We’re trying to get on a path to a normal brother/sister relationship.

HOPE: That’s good. Despite what I think of Thomas, if you think that’s right, then by all means, go for it, Steffy. I’m sure it’ll make you happy.

STEFFY: Yeah, it will. Look, I better report back to the marketing team so they can start drafting up some press releases as a little tease for your next line. If you’ll excuse me…

HOPE: Of course.

Steffy walks out of the room. Hope takes a deep breath.

Back at the Logan Mansion, in the Master Bedroom, Brooke is still laying in bed. She is now wearing a pink, silk robe. Meanwhile, Ridge is sitting on the small bench at the foot of the bed. He is wearing a pair of pajama pants, with his shirt off. It is apparent he just finished a phone call. He is hanging up his phone. He then turns around and crawls back into bed, next to Brooke.

RIDGE: Alright, it’s all settled.

BROOKE: I’m so glad that Eric let us have the house for this party.

RIDGE: Me too. Logan, this is a great idea you have. I also had a thought of my own when it comes to this party you want to throw.

BROOKE: Do tell.

RIDGE: What if we reveal at the party that you, me, and Hope will be reviving the product of BeLieF for the modern day fashion world?

BROOKE: That could be absolutely wonderful to show the family. I cannot wait to be back in the lab working with those chemicals to come up with that new formula.

RIDGE: And, I can’t wait for you to improve upon it. Yet, that’s the essence of who you are. You’re just someone that keeps getting better.

Ridge begins to kiss Brooke’s neck.

BROOKE: (laughs) Oh, Mr. Forrester.

Brooke wraps her legs around Ridge.

Back at Spencer Publications, in Bill’s Office, Bill is looking through Jack’s file.

BILL: In addition to being the top of your class at Harvard, you’ve also done a lot of charitable work. I like seeing that in someone your age.

JACK: Thank you, Mr. Spencer.

BILL: Your file list that you worked with Alcoholics Anonymous. It says that you raised the organization enough money to help one thousand people get into rehab.

JACK: That is correct. Considering what my mother went through, I thought it’d be important to spearhead that as a cause of mine.

BILL: Interesting. Speaking of your mother, how is Taylor?

JACK: She’s good. But, do we really have to discuss my mother?

BILL: No, not at all.

JACK: Thank you.

BILL: The last thing I want to discuss is Taylor shooting me.

JACK: I understand. Sorry about that.

BILL: Not your fault. Anyway…

Before Bill can get another word in, Taylor barges into the office.

TAYLOR: Stop! Stop right there!

Jack and Bill stand and go to her.

JACK: Mom, what are you doing here?

TAYLOR: I’m here to stop this meeting from going any further. Bill, I don’t want you to hire my son for any spot at your company. And, Jack, just like I this morning, I highly advise you not to take any offer he gives you. After all, it’d be the equivalent of working for the Devil himself.

The camera zooms in on Taylor’s determined expression.
