Taylor and Brooke work on their friendship while Li learns a shocking secret in recap for September 20, 2024. We end the week in Malibu as Taylor (Rebecca Budig) wraps up a phone call as Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) arrives. Taylor admits she wanted to tell her the real reason she returned to LA.
She wanted to be close to her family. Brooke asks if there’s a chance they can be friends. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) discuss business and Carter’s bright outlook on the numbers.
They both express how happy they are to have Taylor in town. Finn (Tanner Novlan) escorts Captain Deuce (Tom Arnold) into his office. He asks if Steffy ever found her passport.
He says Finn is a lucky man to be her husband. But he’s there for his lab results and he wants to make sure everything is ok. Finn says everything looks good so far, but he’s waiting on one set of results.
When Finn gets a call that he has to handle, he leaves Deuce by himself. Nurse April (Jamison Belushi) walks in with his results and Deuce wants to know if he’s ok. Steffy is so happy to see Taylor around all the time.
She knows Ridge is happy having her there, too. Taylor considers the word "friend" and Brooke says that enough time has passed that she thinks it’s possible. Taylor says she needs to rein in Hope because the issues in their past are bigger than when it just used to be the two of them.
Now they have to worry about Steffy and Hope, and what Hope is doing impacts Steffy’s f.
