File:B&B 2005 Stephanie & Bridget continue to talk and Massimo catches up with Taylor

Description
Bridget tells Stephanie that she is not going to use Taylor's return to ruin Brooke. This is none of Stephanie's business and she needs to stay out of it and let Ridge, Taylor and Brooke make the decisions that need to be made. Bridget tells Stephanie that it is not Stephanie's place to judge Brooke and what she has done. Stephanie can't figure out why people always forgive Brooke for what she does and that Brooke will use her children to get what she wants. Stephanie says that Ridge is only with Brooke because he thought that Taylor was dead. Bridget tells her that Ridge's love for Brooke is very real. Bridget tells Stephanie that she is going to stay out of it and let them make their own decisions.

Phoebe goes to Brooke and tells her that she's been so caught up with her mom being back that she has forgotten about Brooke and how she must fell. Phoebe says she doesn't want Brooke and the kids to move out. Brooke is shocked but covers and says that for now Phoebe should just concentrate on spending time with her Mom and being happy that she is back and that she is sure Taylor is proud of her. Phoebe tells her that if Taylor is proud then it's because of all that Brooke did for her; Phoebe tells her that she loves her and is grateful for all that she has done for her; that she loves her for just being her. Phoebe says that even though Taylor is back Brooke is still her Mom too. Thomas and Steffy come in and tell her that Phoebe is right - they all love her. Brooke is crying and tells them how much she needed to hear that and they all hug.

Ridge is listening outside the door as Thomas and Steffy are telling Phoebe that someone has to leave and that it should be Brooke. Phoebe is upset and runs out of the room just as Ridge is coming in. Ridge reminds Thomas and Steffy of all the things that Brooke has done for them and that she has been a mother to them while Taylor was gone.

When Ridge opens the door, Massimo comes rushing in, eager to see Taylor. He welcomes her back and tells her how happy he is to have her back in the family. Brooke watches from the shadows as Massimo and Ridge tell Taylor how much they missed her while she was gone and how happy they are that she is back in their lives.

Bridget continues to stick up for Brooke as she confronts Stephanie for the things Stephanie said to Brooke. Bridget is appalled that Stephanie would think Brooke would give RJ to Taylor and Ridge to raise. Stephanie tells Bridget what an awful mother Brooke is and admits she is surprised how well Bridget and Rick turned out.
