Brooke awakened on New Year's Day with Deacon grinning beside her on the bed. He swore nothing had happened, but Brooke swore him to secrecy and banned him from the house. She grappled to understand why she'd blown her sobriety. She confessed the drinking to Ridge and Hope, but when Ridge asked if Deacon had been involved, Brooke indicated that only she was to blame. Hope blamed herself for pushing Brooke to accept Deacon. Ridge took Brooke to an A.A. meeting. Liam didn't get the significance of Douglas saying he'd seen Grandma kissing Santa. Bill let Hope and Liam know he'd be there when the "crap" eventually hit the fan with Deacon. Sheila visited Taylor again, and Taylor seemed alarmed when Sheila seethed about Brooke. Taylor reminded Sheila that she had a long way to go to heal, and she couldn't come over to the house uninvited. Paris and Carter discussed the events that had led to their kiss and claimed to be just friends.
January 10 to 14, 2022
Steffy and Taylor tried to pry out of Hope what could be bothering Brooke. Steffy's words indicated to Hope that they were no longer one big, happy family, and Hope put Taylor on notice about using Brooke's problems to Taylor's advantage. Steffy declared that the Forresters and Logans were at war with each other, and she and Thomas offered Ridge an alternative to being with the Logans. After talking to Deacon, Sheila gleaned that she might have gotten Brooke to drink. At her A.A. meeting, Brooke lied about drinking alone on New Year's Eve. Deacon visited Brooke without her permission, and as they bickered with each other about him staying away, Deacon professed his undying love for Brooke. Paris' mother, Grace, arrived in town.

January 17 to 21, 2022
Brooke was stunned when Deacon arrived at her house against her wishes and professed his undying love for her and desire to have a future. Sheila figured that if she couldn't get answers out of Deacon about Brooke, she'd pay Taylor another visit, but Taylor's curiosity was piqued by Sheila's intense disdain for Brooke. Taylor offered her friendship and counsel to Brooke, who quickly turned it down. As Ridge lauded Brooke for her honesty, Douglas persisted until Liam and Hope finally believed that he'd seen Brooke kissing a man in a Santa hat. Hope pressed Brooke for answers, and Brooke confessed that she and Deacon had gotten drunk, kissed, and slept on the same bed. Paris was troubled upon seeing a model ask Zende out on a date, but she realized it was for the best when she wound up back in Carter's arms.
January 24 to 28, 2022

Douglas was at a dinner party, regaling everyone with his tale of Grandma kissing Santa, when Hope called him home for a talk. Brooke advised Douglas that the past was gone, and he didn't have to talk about what he'd seen; however, Thomas managed to get Douglas to reveal that he'd seen Brooke kissing Deacon in a Santa hat. Grace was confused when she saw Zende leaving on a date with a model. To her dismay, Grace learned from Paris that Paris and Zende had cooled down their romance.

Grace refused to let Carter hurt another one of her daughters. Insisting that Zende was the man for Paris, Grace ordered Carter to break it off with Paris, or Grace would expose him to the Forresters for pursuing Zende's love interest.

By the time Brooke decided that she had to tell Ridge the full story about New Year's Eve, Steffy and Thomas had already conveyed the information to Taylor, who decided she needed to be the one to tell Ridge. Steffy cryptically berated Brooke for being Brooke until Brooke asked Steffy to leave. Ridge believed that there had to be an explanation for what had happened, and even though Brooke had let him down, he asked her to give him all the details about that night.

Feeling that Brooke was siding with Deacon, Ridge said he couldn't do it anymore, and he walked out. As Brooke scrambled to reach Ridge, Thomas hid Ridge's phone from him and deleted messages from Brooke. Steffy and Thomas impressed upon Ridge how much better Taylor was for him than Brooke. Taylor and Ridge spoke alone, and Ridge said he wanted to go home to her if she'd have him.

Brooke sent Liam on a failed mission to get a message to Ridge, but the next day, Ridge informed Brooke that he'd spent the night with Taylor. Though he said he loved Brooke with everything within him, he couldn't do it anymore, and he walked out. Sheila found out about Ridge and Brooke's split and told Deacon that his long-awaited chance with Brooke might really happen. No longer able to stay away from Carter, Paris showed up at his doorstep, and the two gave in to a passionate kiss.
February 28 to March 4, 2022

Deacon implored Brooke to break her cycle with Ridge and be with Deacon, but Brooke insisted that her heart belonged to Ridge. Brooke visited Taylor and vowed to fight for her marriage, but in private, Brooke questioned whether she should give up and let Taylor have Ridge.
