In true Bold and the Beautiful fashion, next week’s episodes unleash a storm of romance, betrayal, and breathtaking choices as Brooke Logan finds herself at the center of one of the most dramatic love triangles the show has ever seen. And this time, everything—from lifelong commitments to deep-seated heartbreak—hangs in the balance.
It all begins with a secret plan. Nick Marone, steady and determined, arranges a romantic seaside getaway with Brooke in the heart of Italy. But this isn’t just a simple escape. Nick is preparing to propose. He’s ready to offer Brooke the peaceful, unconditional love she’s long craved. What he doesn’t know is that Ridge Forrester, recently engaged to Taylor, has caught wind of his plan—and the effect is nothing short of earth-shattering.
For Ridge, the news strikes like a lightning bolt. Nick proposing to Brooke? It reawakens every fear, every longing, every moment Ridge thought he had buried deep. Panic surges through him. Without warning Taylor, without a single explanation, he boards a flight to Italy—his mind racing, his heart begging for one more chance.
As the Italian sun begins to set over the coast, Nick prepares a private proposal aboard a boat just off the rocky shoreline. Brooke, radiant and unsuspecting, steps onto the deck. The waves shimmer beneath them, soft music playing in the background. But as Nick begins to speak, his words of love are interrupted by something unexpected: Ridge.
He’s on the cliffs above, calling out her name, running along the shoreline like a man possessed. Before either of them can react, nature intervenes. A sudden wave crashes into the boat. Brooke screams as she’s thrown overboard into the cold, churning water. Nick scrambles to reach her, but it’s Ridge—Ridge who doesn’t hesitate—who dives into the sea.
The world holds its breath as Ridge pulls her to safety, collapsing onto the sand with Brooke in his arms. Her body is soaked and trembling, her breathing shallow. But as she opens her eyes and sees Ridge hovering over her, something in her shifts. “You saved me,” she whispers, voice thin and trembling.
Then, Ridge reaches into the soaked pocket of his jacket and pulls out a ring.
“I can’t let you go again, Logan,” he says, his voice raw. “You’re the love of my life. Marry me.”
Brooke is stunned, silent, still recovering from the chaos and the cold. But before she can say a word, Nick steps forward, also clutching something small and shining in his hand.
“Don’t choose based on adrenaline or gratitude,” Nick says gently. “Choose based on every moment we’ve shared. Brooke, marry me.”
Two proposals. Two rings. Two men drenched in seawater, emotion, and desperation—all pleading for the same woman’s heart.
Brooke stands on trembling legs, staring down at both of them. Her breath catches in her throat as tears rise in her eyes. Her heart races, torn between Ridge’s passionate plea and Nick’s steady, unwavering love. The air thickens with silence.
But the drama doesn’t end there.
Just beyond the trees, Taylor has arrived.
Sensing something was wrong back in L.A., she followed Ridge to Italy—and now she watches from afar, devastated, as the man who had just promised her forever kneels before another woman. Her face crumbles. Her entire future dissolves before her eyes. And with it, a new wave of heartbreak begins to surge.
Ridge isn’t even aware she’s there. His eyes are only on Brooke. Nick doesn’t notice her either—his focus locked on the woman he believes will finally choose a calm, safe future over chaos. Brooke sees neither of them now. She’s looking inward, reaching for clarity in the emotional storm surrounding her.
What does she do?
Choose Ridge, the man who’s always found his way back to her no matter how many years, how many wounds?
Or choose Nick, the man who waited patiently, who never made her feel like a second choice?
Or walk away from both—and reclaim a life not defined by either man?
As Brooke stares down at the two rings glittering in the fading light, a decision forms. But we won’t know what she says—not yet. The episode ends in silence, with three lives suspended in time… and Taylor turning away, shattered.
Next week promises fireworks in more ways than one. A life was saved. A love was rekindled. And a future now hangs in the balance.
So what do you think? Should Brooke choose Ridge—the man who always returns—or Nick, the one who never left?
Or is it time she walks away from both and writes her own ending?
