BRIDGE Celebrate Peace — for Now

At Forrester Creations, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) couldn’t stop smiling as he admired Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), declaring that life finally felt peaceful again. For once, love and family seemed to align. The pair reflected on how everything — from Hope and Liam’s reconciliation to Steffy’s return — appeared to be falling into place.

Still, Ridge couldn’t help but worry about Taylor (Rebecca Budig). Brooke surprised him by showing compassion for her longtime rival. “She’s strong,” Brooke said softly. “I just hope she finds happiness, too.”

Ridge admitted he still felt responsible for Taylor’s heartbreak, but Steffy soon interrupted their serene moment, bringing reality back to the table.

Steffy Defends Her Mother’s New Path

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) arrived in time to assure Brooke and Ridge that her mother was doing just fine — busy, fulfilled, and no longer dwelling on Ridge.

“She’s got a lot going on,” Steffy said firmly. “She’s not sitting around heartbroken.”

Brooke, curious, asked whether Taylor was seeing anyone new. Steffy smiled but didn’t give much away, hinting that love may not be far off for her mother.

“She’ll find someone one day,” she said, before gently reminding them that her mother’s focus was on her patients — and herself.

Deacon Turns Therapist

Over at Taylor’s office, Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) arrived early for what was supposed to be his therapy session, but the tables quickly turned. When Taylor asked about his relationship with Sheila, Deacon became unexpectedly emotional, praising Taylor for her insight and kindness.

“You’re incredible,” he told her. “I don’t want to lose you.”

Taylor tried to maintain professional boundaries, but Deacon’s charm and vulnerability made it hard to ignore the growing connection between them. He promised to be there for her, just as she had been for him — a statement that clearly affected Taylor more than she cared to admit.

“Ridge isn’t the guy for you,” Deacon said softly. “You deserve so much more.”

Steffy and Sheila’s Uneasy Truce

At Il Giardino, Steffy faced off with Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) for the first time since Luna’s shocking arrest. The tension between them was palpable. Steffy wanted answers — why had Sheila stayed silent after Luna’s crimes?

“She’s in prison where she belongs,” Sheila said coolly. “She’ll never hurt anyone again.”

But Steffy wasn’t convinced, reminding Sheila that she had escaped justice for years. Sheila countered with a surprising confession — she credited Taylor for saving her marriage to Deacon.

“Taylor got Deacon to come back to me,” Sheila revealed, her voice almost trembling with gratitude. “She saved us.”

Steffy was stunned, struggling to process the idea of her mother helping the woman who once tried to destroy their family.

Sheila’s gratitude, Taylor’s blurred emotions, and Deacon’s dangerous charm all point to one thing — the calm before another storm.
