The Bold and the Beautiful Season 12 Episode 55 Ep. #2812

Macy tells Thorne that Bridget's home and explains C.J.'s role in her return. She lets him know that C.J. thinks Ridge might change his mind about leaving Brooke, and wonders how Thorne would feel if Taylor were available. Ridge says that he's listened to everyone, but one voice has not been heard: his son's. Thomas needs Ridge, and no one can take Ridge's place in his life. Ridge apologizes to Brooke, who holds a sobbing Bridget. Eric shoots Ridge a look and comforts Bridget, leading her from the room. Stephanie tries to reassure Ridge that Bridget will be all right. Rick lets his anger out at Ridge. He tells Ridge that he and Bridget will never forgive him. Brooke swears she never believed Ridge would leave, and Ridge tells her it's the hardest decision he's ever had to make. As he leaves with Taylor, Ridge has a poignant moment of eye contact with Brooke, a moment not lost on Stephanie. Taylor asks the shaken Ridge if he's coming home, and he nods.
