Tuesday 3/17; Rick tells Brooke that Ridge is distancing himself from her. Stephanie shows up and won’t tell Brooke where Ridge is, only that he is with Taylor and their children. Stephanie thinks Brooke and her younger children are in danger, and she needs to pack up her children and leave. Rick tells Brooke that Ridge and Taylor being together will give them a chance to walk down memory lane. Stephanie tells Brooke that Taylor is someone whom Ridge has also been able to trust, and Brooke has always come in second. Stephanie continues to goad Brooke about Ridge and Taylor.
Thomas at first begs Taylor not to send him away to jail. He didn’t want to hurt anyone, he just wanted Rick to back off. Thomas tells Taylor that he was supposed to be the man of the house but that was just a big joke. Thomas explains that things just got out of control and he did wait until Steffy was out of the beach house before starting the fire. When Taylor asks him about the car blowing up, Thomas said that Rick didn’t deserve a car after Phoebe was killed in the accident when Rick was driving. He made sure no one was by the car when the explosion happened.
Taylor feels horrible that she didn’t realize what Thomas was going through. Thomas says if he turns himself in to Lt. Baker, maybe they’ll go easy on him.
Ridge and Steffy come in with fried chicken, and Ridge says let’s just be happy that the family is together right now. They sit around eating chicken and reminiscing. After, Steffy says she just wants to go home. Ridge says not until he is sure that she is safe, and if someone is still gunning for Rick, then she is not safe. Steffy and Thomas go outside and Taylor tells Ridge that it’s time for them to go back home. Ridge again says Steffy isn’t safe. Taylor says she knows who set the fire and blew up Rick’s car, and it’s time to go home.
