In Forrester’s design office, Hope and Steffy compare notes on the history their mothers share with Ridge. Steffy says her parents always find their way back to each other. She’s not playing matchmaker, she just knows they love each other.

In the main office, Ridge and Taylor go over how well their children are doing. Ridge says Steffy’s very glad she’s there and teases that she may not be the only one. “I’m very, very happy that you’re here.”

In the backstage area, Will ends a call with Donna, who’s trying to set him up with someone. RJ walks in and smirks about it. Will asks RJ about his ex-girlfriend. Did he really not know Luna was a lunatic? RJ says he played a lot of people, including him and Will’s father. Will’s just glad she’s in prison where she belongs. RJ asks what he’s doing at Forrester. He’d think his dad would want him at Spencer Publications.

At Bill’s place, he tells Katie that he wants to spend more quality time with Will. She thinks he should be talking to their son about it. Bill says he also wants to talk about their future as Will’s parents… and more. Katie warns, “Bill, if you’re going where I think you’re going with this…” Bill asks her to hear him out. He’s the great and powerful one at work, but that doesn’t work so well with a family, “Certainly not one with you in it.” He realizes there has to be give and take and a lot of listening. It’s not always his strong suit, but right now he needs her to hear him out. “Think about the life we could have, Katie. You, me, and Will.”

In the design office, Hope tells Steffy that Ridge is in love with her mother and committed to their life together. Steffy realizes that. Hope doesn’t think it’s going to change anytime soon. Steffy asks, “Even with my mother back in town?” Her mother wouldn’t target a relationship, but who knows what the future holds.

In the main office, Taylor talks to Ridge about appreciating every moment. That’s what she’s going to do. Ridge slings an arm around her and pulls her close just as Brooke opens the door and looks in.

In the backstage area, Will tells RJ he’s not sure what he’ll be doing. His mom wants him to work there. RJ points out he loves Europe. Will does, but he missed his family. RJ would be shocked if Bill let his son work at Forrester. Will says when the time comes, it will be his choice. Maybe they’ll get to work together. RJ doesn’t look thrilled.

At Bill’s place, he tells Katie he’s been planning their future. Katie guesses this is since Luna was incarcerated. They go over him opening his heart and home to the young woman. Bill doesn’t want to think about it anymore. He just wants to look forward, “And when I do, all I see is you.” He takes her hand and implores, “Let’s do this. Let’s give Will his family again.”

In the design office, Steffy tells Hope that her mom is happy when Ridge is happy. Hope questions why she came back at this time. Steffy says she wants to be close to her and her grandchildren. Hope is just saying, “I don’t think anyone or anything is going to come between my mom and Ridge.”

In the main office, Brooke asks if she’s interrupting. Ridge says not at all, and kisses her. Taylor says she should go. Brooke asks if she heard about the bit shoot for Brooke’s Bedroom tomorrow. Taylor says Steffy mentioned it, but she should go. Ridge asks why she’s rushing off. Taylor talks about the two of them being happy and having a lot to look forward to, and then exits.

At Bill’s place, Katie senses she’s about to get Bill’s hard sell. He just wants her to know where he’s coming from and how he got there. Katie says it’s because what was happening with Poppy and Luna fell apart. Bill never would have gone there if she had taken him back. “This is not a rebound situation.” He believes they can be happy as a family. “All I need from you is a yes.” Will walks in and asks, “A yes to what?” He guesses his dad wants his mom back.

In the main office, Ridge tells Brooke he and Taylor were just catching up. They go over the exciting Brooke’s Bedroom shoot coming up. Brooke says she and Taylor are really going to try and be friends this time. “United as never before.” Ridge loves that… and he loves her. They kiss and canoodle. Brooke asks what’s going on in his handsome head. Ridge tells her to go first. Brooke was just wondering if everything is alright with Taylor.

Taylor finds Steffy in the design office and tells her how proud she is of her. She’s doing it all and makes it look effortless. She’s a wonderful role model. Steffy is glad Kelly will also have Taylor to lean on now. Steffy learns that Taylor was with Ridge. She promises not to try and push them back together. But she can see and hear how much she cares about her dad… he’s her true love. Taylor says he’s a special man. The memories she made with him are more precious to her with each passing day. She will always love Ridge. Taylor tells Steffy that her memories of her dad and their sweet little family were the happiest days of her life. She’s there to be with Steffy and her scrumptious grandchildren. There’s no one like Ridge, but he’s with Brooke. She’s accepted that and Steffy needs to as well. “Their future is bright. They have a long life ahead of them.”

At Bill’s place, he tells Will he takes full responsibility for breaking up their family. He admires how he looks out for his mother. But he also wants him to know he’s not the same man and has learned a thing or two over the years. He’d never hurt or disappoint Katie again… or his son. He wants to reunite as a family. Will asks Katie, “Is that what you want?” Katie deflects, “I’m just so glad that you’re home, baby.” She’s glad they’re all spending time together and doesn’t want anything to ruin it.

In the main office, Brooke tells Ridge she felt like something was off with Taylor. She should be thrilled to be back, so why isn’t she happier?
