SEPTEMBER 2005
September 5 to 9, 2005
Brooke told Nick that she was through, and he should go and be together to share a life with Bridget and the baby they are expecting. Phoebe discovered information about Thomas and Gaby which angered her. Phoebe told Taylor what she knew about the newlyweds, causing Taylor to call Agent Dunn to tell him that the marriage was a sham, done so that Gaby could obtain her green card. Brooke came up with an idea to prove to her daughter, that she had no worries about Nick and her being together. When Agent Dunn arrived, Gaby also had representation, which put a win in Gaby's corner, angering Taylor. Brooke planned on showing to Dante, just how much Nick was out of her life.
September 12 to 16, 2005
Brooke started to see Dante, so that both Nick and Bridget would see that she had moved on with her life. Ridge learned from Taylor, that Thomas and Gaby had consummated their marriage, leaving Agent Dunn unable to do anything about Gaby's green card. An attorney that Gaby brought in told everyone that being 18 years of age, claiming to be in love, married, and having consummated their marriage, made it legal in the eyes of the law. Taylor and Ridge continued to disagree about the way that Taylor handled things. Taylor found herself with a new friend in Hector. Dante called Brooke for another date, but told her that he was aware of what she was trying to do for her daughter. Bridget set up a dinner date as a celebration for Dante and Brooke and Nick and herself. Hector told Taylor that she needed to do something other than waste her life sitting around and waiting for Ridge. Ridge told his son and Gaby that he was going to have their marriage annulled. Sally offered Thomas and Gaby a way out of their situation. Jackie and Eric grew closer. Dante did what Brooke asked of him, knowing that Nick was being hurt further. Nick finally relented and went on to reconnect with Bridget and make love to her.
September 19 to 23, 2005
Ridge thought of a plan to bring Thomas back home. Thomas thought about signing the contract offered to him by Sally. Ridge reached Thomas, at Sally's office before Thomas was able to sign his contract, proposing a deal of his own, with Thomas able to remain with both Spectra and Gaby if he won, but if he lost, he would return to school and have his marriage annulled. Hector had an empty shoulder for Taylor to rely on as he offered his friendship to her. As Taylor reopened her office, Hector brought her a plant, followed in by Ridge, who knew nothing of her plans. As Bridget became increasingly sure of Nick's feelings for her, Brooke was forced to deal with making sure that nothing spoiled her daughter's happiness. Taylor told Ridge, that whether or not Thomas won or lost the contest, she would never accept Gaby. Nick told Bridget that he planned for the two of them to marry aboard his boat, in a private ceremony. Dante was hired by the Forrester's to design his inspired artwork into fashion. Bridget insisted that her Mother attend her wedding although she had been warned by Nick, not to attend. Dante told Ridge, that he (Ridge) was the last thing on Brooke's mind. Nick and Bridget were married. Hector and Taylor shared dinner. Ridge showed up as Brooke worked in her office after the wedding. Ridge told Brooke that Taylor asked him to leave and now he needs Brooke more than ever before.
September 26 to 30, 2005
Ridge received a different kind of reception from Brooke, something other than he was used to getting from her. Jackie and Eric grew closer. Hector told Taylor that she was worth far more than she had been given for by Ridge. Taylor, once again feeling rejected by Ridge, was drawn into an intimate moment, with Hector. Jackie visited her son, Nick, the day after the wedding and found him somewhat disoriented about his work and his new life. Bridget learned that her father was seeing Jackie and enjoying every minute of it. Jackie told Nick how proud she was of him for honoring his commitment to Bridget and the baby even though it meant that he had to give up Brooke. Brooke and Nick constantly thought about each other. Nick told Massimo that there was a "siren" who was calling him back, and he needed to get away; that siren was Brooke. Taylor faced Thomas and Gaby, talking about Thomas' future, hopefully without Gaby. Thomas refused to return home without Gaby. Taylor told Gaby that she thought she was using her son and she wouldn't allow that to happen a second time, since it had all ready happened with Amber. Stephanie received a visit from Ridge, and proceeded to tell him about her new outlook on life. Steffy and Phoebe started to have all the problems and feelings that young people experience. Ridge informed Taylor that he was willing to go to therapy. Stephanie told Brooke that she saw Nick and her together at Big Bear and she will not allow her to destroy Bridget's life again. Nick and Bridget talked about moving into a home, because Nick realized that you couldn't bring a child up on a boat. Taylor listened as Ridge told her, that he wanted to come home and prove to her that she and the children will never have a reason to doubt his commitment again. Stephanie informed Bridget that Nick and Brooke love each other and that her mother is trying to take him away from her.

OCTOBER 2005
October 3 to 7, 2005
Stephanie tried to interfere in Bridget and Nick's marriage once again. Bridget told Stephanie that she preferred to believe her Mother and Nick's version of what supposedly happened between the two of them. Eric told Stephanie the real reason he was sure that Nick and Brooke were not going to act out their feelings. Stephanie decided to break her promise to Eric, by going to see Bridget and telling her the truth as she knew it. Nick and Brooke informed Jackie, that Stephanie was out to destroy his marriage to Bridget. Eric made sure that Stephanie knew if she went near Bridget, he would hate her for the rest of his life. Jackie vowed to not let Stephanie do to her grandchild what Stephanie did to her own family. Eric told Brooke that he felt he had to tell Stephanie the truth about the night she and Nick were together on the Shady Marlin, thinking that if Stephanie knew that she sacrificed for her daughter's sake, she would stop trying to cause more trouble. Brooke rushed to reach Stephanie before she could talk to Bridget.
October 10 to 14, 2005
Stephanie told Brooke and Nick that she was going to tell Bridget the truth about them. Stephanie found Bridget at the neighborhood watering hole, and took her back to her home, where she told Bridget that Nick and her mother were still in love with each other, and she could prove it. Taylor and Ridge were on their way to see a marriage counselor. Eric signed his divorce papers, while Jonathan, his lawyer, took them to the Dominican Republic along with Stephanie's power of attorney. Bridget pointedly asked her mother if the accusations that Stephanie had made about her and Nick were true. Ridge told the therapist just how he thought Taylor should handle the chemistry that he shared with two different women. Brooke warned Stephanie that her family had better not fall apart because of what she had done to Bridget. Ridge sang an entirely different tune when Taylor told him that, she too, shared chemistry with another man. Nick informed his mother that Stephanie had told Bridget everything about Brooke, and that Bridget had removed her rings and returned them to him, prompting Jackie to tell her son to go and be with the woman that he loved. Jackie told Nick about her feelings for Eric and wondered if he approved, while Stephanie told Ridge that she and Eric would work things out between them; however, Eric told Bridget that he and her mother had been remarried the previous night.
October 17 to 21, 2005
Nick went to tell Brooke that he wanted to marry her, only to discover that she had recommitted herself to someone else. As the "cat-fight" went on between Stephanie and Jackie, Stephanie learned that Eric had been granted his divorce from her. Jackie, eagerly awaited for her visit with Eric, thinking that a proposal was soon to be given, but, alas, she learned that was not to be and ran out of his place, after hearing his shocking news. Ridge once again went running off to find Brooke, after hearing about the marriage from Bridget. Stephanie, going to Eric in person, told him that she wanted to salvage their marriage, as Eric prepared to tell her some news that she definitely, was not going to like. Hector, again being Johnny on the spot, was there to console Taylor for Ridge's actions, while telling her that he considered her very special. Taylor learned that Brooke and Eric had remarried, from Ridge, and also a startling revelation from Ridge himself, as he told Taylor that he was through with Brooke. Stephanie told Taylor that she needs help.
October 24 to 28, 2005
Stephanie went to Taylor seeking help for her problem with Brooke. Stephanie made a decision and, calling her family together, told them all that she was going to sell her house and move to Florida. Dante told Bridget that he loved her and wanted to take her away from all the mess. Gaby told Taylor that she didn't believe a word she told her, about not wanting Thomas to lose the competition, and thereby making Thomas get his marriage annulled. It was Spectra versus Forrester one more time on the runway, with Thomas losing out to his father. Stephanie asked Massimo to join her as she wanted a witness to her removing her stocks from Eric's safe, so that they could be given to her children. Massimo discovered, as he helped Stephanie look for the stocks, a document with an irrevocable trust, which made her sole owner of Forrester Creations. It named her sole owner of the company by her father and was created before her marriage to Eric. Taylor had made arrangements for Gaby to remain in the states and also to get her scholarship back. Thomas and Gaby said their goodbyes. Stephanie, in a rage, told Eric that he betrayed her and his family but he would not betray her trust. Eric tried to get Nick and Bridget back together as he told them a lie about he and Brooke having consummated their marriage. Massimo phoned Stephanie to tell her that his lawyer confirmed that she was the sole owner of Forrester Creations.
October 31 to November 4, 2005
Eric tried to reunite Bridget and Nick again. Massimo called Katherine Chancellor to meet with Stephanie. Stephanie learned that her father had provided for her by making sure that Forrester Creations would always belong to her. Jonathan, Eric's lawyer, gave Eric his divorce papers, all legal, as the two men found that they might have more trouble to face and even bigger problems. Nick took Brooke out into the middle of the bay to get her to admit that they still loved each other and belonged together. Dante stood firm with Bridget as she prepared to have her ultrasound done. Stephanie barged into Eric's office after he realized that she might have found the document that was in his safe. Brooke and Nick realized that they could never be together at the expense of others close to them. Stephanie told Eric that it was the moment for her to have her revenge, and she fired him. The family gathered as Eric called them to remain strong and join forces against Stephanie in order to save their family business. Stephanie walked into Eric's office, along with Massimo and Taylor, to announce her plans for the new Forrester Creations.

Bridget brought Brooke and Eric and Nick together for a showdown.

December 5 to 9, 2005

Stephanie went to the beach house and discovered Renee and a baby. Eric told Thorne and Taylor that he was beginning to realize that Stephanie had the right idea for the company all along. Eric later told Brooke, that he needed her to go along with his plan, so that he could regain control of the company. Stephanie insisted that Felicia tell Bridget about the baby, but while she could sidestep Bridget, Felicia was forced to tell Nick the truth. Sally called together all those close to her and told them that she was closing down Spectra and going on a world cruise. Sally received a call from the "captain" of the cruise ship, which was actually the Happy Acres Assisted Living Facility.

Felicia ran into an old acquaintance by the name of Dante. Stephanie told Eric that the one thing she always wanted from him was to see him be a good father to his children, especially Felicia. Felicia told Bridget what she hoped for when she returned to San Francisco, but after seeing that Nick was married to her sister, and expecting their child, she put those thoughts to rest. Felicia got Bridget and Nick to watch Dominick while she headed for the hospital. The doctor told Felicia that her cancer had returned without much hope for her.
