In a stunning twist, Ridge is left reeling as Brooke moves on faster than he ever expected. While he believed she would still be holding onto hope for their love, Brooke shocks everyone by stepping out with a new man. Whether it’s a past love rekindled or a completely unexpected romance, one thing is clear—she wants Ridge to see it. As Ridge watches Brooke smiling, glowing, and seemingly happier than ever, unexpected emotions resurface. He had assumed she would be heartbroken, maybe even hoping for another chance, but instead, she’s thriving without him.

Taylor, too, takes notice of Ridge’s reaction. She may have won his commitment, but does she truly have his heart? If Ridge can’t stop obsessing over Brooke’s new romance, Taylor might start questioning whether he has truly moved on. Meanwhile, speculation runs wild—could Bill be the man Brooke has turned to, or is someone entirely new sweeping her off her feet?

Regardless of who her new love interest is, one thing is certain—Ridge is not handling it well. But will he actually do anything about it? Will he try to fight for Brooke, or is it already too late? With Brooke clearly ready to embrace her future, Ridge might have to accept the painful reality of watching her move on without him.
