Outside at Forrester, Wyatt fills Hope in on the change at Spencer. Hope thanks him again for the gift and they kiss. In Eric's office, he and Rick question Ridge about the timing of his proposal to Katie. Ridge says it was coincidental. Rick talks about Ridge's track record - he likes that Brooke is the only woman in Bill's life. Later, Brooke finds Ridge alone and says she stopped by Katie's house. He questions how she could hurt Katie the way she did - he thinks it was to punish him for caring about her. Brooke counters that his proposal was to punish her. He says his relationship with Katie is deep, but he thinks Brooke should dump Bill. Brooke asks him not to marry Katie. "For all of our sakes." Ridge says he will marry Katie. He tells Brooke there's a part of him that will always love her, but they're not the same people anymore.
