As Brooke Reaches Her Emotional Breaking Point, Li Goes to the Last Place You’d Expect!

Although yesterday Nick was planning to take Brooke on a romantic boat ride, Ridge apparently beat him to the punch. The exes take a gorgeous ride across the water to Capri, the tune Unforgettable playing. Fun fact: No other soap does location shoots or has the production values of Bold & Beautiful. Sure, the stories being told against those backdrops are… let’s go with lackluster. But danged if watching these scenes didn’t immediately leave me wanting to call my travel agent!

At the location of the fashion show, Eric takes a moment to tell Ridge what he saw last night — Brooke and Nick smooching — and warn that his son is about to lose the woman everyone else knows is perfect for him. Ridge confronts Brooke with this and she says, in essence, “Hey, at least someone’s making an effort!” (Anybody else notice that these scenes were clearly filmed not on location but in the studio… and on the old Bikini Bar set, if I’m not mistaken!)

But enough with Brooke and Ridge’s game of push-me/pull-you… it’s time for a fashion show! Oddly, it’s being held in a restaurant and no one seems to be paying a bit of attention to the models, let alone what they’re wearing. But the setting is gorgeous! It all leads to Brooke strutting her stuff as the crowd goes wild.

Sheila Wants Answers!

Watching over a slumbering comatose Luna, Li vows that she’s not going to let her niece/grandchild die. At the same time, Sheila’s complaining to Deacon about not knowing where Luna was buried. She’s tried getting answers from Li, but is getting no response to her calls and texts. (Um… why didn’t she ask follow-up questions when the two of them were at Il Giardino and Li announced “I’ve handled it.”)

Soon after, Li strolls in to pick up her takeout. Somehow, she acts annoyed to see Sheila… you know, at the place in which she works and lives. Is there no other restaurant in the tiny town of Los Angeles? One where people can go rather than patronize a woman who has attempted to kill them? In any case, Sheila practically begs Li to let her visit Luna, wherever she’s been buried or her ashes spread. Li, however, remains tight-lipped. (I’m betting she doesn’t leave Sheila a tip, either!)

Brooke Breaks Down

After the show, the press demands Brooke and Ridge — the “king and queen of fashion” — pose for photos together. Brooke grows increasingly uncomfortable before dashing off, with Ridge in hot pursuit.

Meanwhile, repairs on Nick’s boat still aren’t ready, but his Italian pal manages to arrange an alternative. He jumps in an unusually large but very cool looking car and heads for the site of the fashion show. Arriving in town, he stops a  stranger and asks where the fashion show is. For some reason, the rando knows exactly where it is, sending Nick scurrying off to the fashion show, where he runs directly into a displeased Eric, who declares that the sailor isn’t welcome.

Overlooking the ocean, Ridge catches up with Brooke, who’s had as much as she can take. “Everybody is happy to see us together. But the trouble is we’re not together,” she says, admitting that the whole on-again/off-again thing is driving her insane. (Imagine how we feel, girl!) “Every time I look at you I can see how much you love me, but you’re too damn stupid and stubborn to admit it.” He counters that he doesn’t enjoy seeing her like this, asking her not to go. “I can’t stay here,” she sighs, only for him to say she can’t leave.
