THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
Rick sensed that Ridge’s issuing an unspoken threat to steal Caroline while doling out relationship advice. Unwilling to listen to a man with such a poor track record with women, Rick rehashed all of the broken hearts that Ridge was responsible for throughout the years. Maya was furious when Carter referred to her current role in Rick’s life as a rebound relationship and questioned whether or not her feelings are reciprocated. Ivy and Aly were curious as to Caroline’s true feelings as she discussed her recent situation with Rick and Ridge. Rick was put on the spot when Maya asked him if he truly loves her or if he is using her to get back at Caroline. Feeling vulnerable and apprehensive, Maya threatened to leave if Rick doesn’t give her a straight answer to her reasonable question. Regardless of her unwavering desire to reunite with Rick, Ridge advised Caroline against fighting a losing battle. Caroline unexpectedly stumbled upon heartbreaking evidence that proves that Ridge’s words are valid. Ridge pointed out to Caroline that there are no more reasons why they can’t pursue a relationship together. Caroline explained to Ridge that she needs time to decide what or who she really wants in her life. Ivy and Aly connected through their family’s history and shared some laughs at Rick and Maya’s expense. Having reached a new crossroad in their relationship, Rick and Maya spent a romantic evening between the sheets. Carter was still reluctant to believe that Maya’s relationship is genuine when she gloated to him about the night that she and Rick shared. Ivy issued Rick a warning to reexamine his feelings for Caroline before he does something irreparable and loses her for good.
THIS WEEK: Caroline worries about retribution from Rick when he learns about her and Ridge’s new arrangement. Maya stands up for Rick when Ridge angrily confronts him about the disrespect that he has been showing to their family.
