The drama unfolds in the sun-drenched shores of Naples and Capri, where the Forester family is gathered for a high-profile fashion event. Ridge, accompanied by his fiancée Taylor Hayes, faces simmering tensions as his past with Brooke Logan, his eternal flame, comes back to haunt him. The air crackles with unresolved passion as Brooke, who is also in Italy for business, finds herself entangled in a heated exchange with Ridge. In a moment charged with emotion, Ridge pleads with Brooke to stay, reminding her of their shared memories in Italy. But Brooke, weary of the endless cycle of their relationship, snaps back, declaring, “Screw you! I’m going to run off with Nick and forget I ever met you.”

Enter Nick Marone, portrayed by Jack Wagner, who crashes the Italian getaway at Taylor’s urging. Sensing Brooke’s vulnerability, Nick extends a hand, urging her to seize the opportunity to break free from Ridge’s grasp. In a shocking twist, Brooke takes Nick’s hand and walks away, leaving Ridge stunned and heartbroken by the waterfront as the Italian sunset casts a golden hue over the scene.
