Brooke is furious, but Ridge thinks the idea is a good one. Brooke tells Ridge in private that Taylor is only doing this because she believes Brooke is a threat to her own marriage. Elsewhere, Ashley surprises Rick by telling him that she would like to get back together with him. Rick tells her he is a bit gun shy after she dumped him for Ridge. Ashley reminds him that he once dumped her for Phoebe. Rick tells her he would like time to think about it.
