Brooke learns from Connor that Ridge is back in town, but apparently has visited Taylor first. Brooke deduces that Ridge has chosen Taylor. Later, a sullen Brooke is stunned to find out that Ridge has no inclination to leave her. Instead Ridge announces that he intends to be her husband again, this time to the full extent of the law. Meanwhile, James looks after Taylor who feels miserable. Taylor shares with James that Ridge has decided on Brooke after all. Suddenly, Omar appears. Taylor informs the Prince that he was right all along - Ridge values his relationship with Brooke higher than theirs. This prompts Omar to ask Taylor to come back to Morocco with him. Maggie breaks it to Jessica that she intends to leave for Iowa immediately. Jessica is confused and persuades her mother to stay in Los Angeles a little longer to not cut their recently rebuilt precious mother-daughter-bonding short. When Dylan calls her, Maggie tells him that she never wants to see him again.
