Something’s in the air on The Bold and the Beautiful—and it’s not just fabric samples.
This week, fans were treated to the long-awaited return of Nick Marone, and let’s just say—he didn’t waste any time diving back into Brooke’s orbit. From a nostalgic kiss to the awkward rehashing of the Jack saga, the writers cracked open old wounds and left us begging for more.
Nick’s Return Sparks Old Flames
When Brooke and Ridge were casually chatting in the office (yes, she’s still pleading her case for him to come home), Nick shows up out of the blue. And just like that, boom—chemistry. Within minutes, we’re hit with a montage of Nick and Brooke’s greatest hits: passionate embraces, longing looks, beachside memories. The kiss? Oh, it happened. And it was loaded.
“When I see you, it feels like home.”
Nick reminds Brooke of how good they were together, throwing subtle shade at Ridge for still flip-flopping after all these years. Honestly, can you blame him?
The Jack Elephant in the Room
Now for the twist we didn’t see coming—they actually acknowledged Jack, Nick and Brooke’s child from one of the show’s most insane storylines. Brooke tells Nick she just FaceTimed with Jack, who’s living his best Parisian life. It’s the show’s way of saying, “See? We didn’t forget!” even though they very much did for over a decade.
Need a refresher on that storyline? Buckle up:
- Nick and Taylor were trying to have a baby via IVF
- Brooke’s eggs were stored at the same lab
- A tragic mix-up led to Taylor being inseminated with Brooke’s eggs
- Taylor carried the baby (Jack) but eventually had a breakdown and gave him to Nick and Brooke
- The storyline vanished, and so did Jack
Fans have begged for answers—and now we get a breadcrumb. It’s something, but it’s not enough.
Taylor Sees the Writing on the Wall
Back at home, Taylor presses Ridge about the fashion show stunt, where Brooke stunned in that Portofino gown. While Ridge tells her he’s coming home to her (again), you can see the doubt creeping in. Her face says it all: she knows this triangle is circling back—and fast.
“Maybe it stirred up old feelings for Brooke.”
Yeah, maybe? Or maybe Brooke’s feelings never left.
Meanwhile… Luna is Watching
Over at the beach house, the Luna storyline took a turn for the creepy. She’s watching Steffy and Hayes through a telescope while Finn and Liam are deep in conversation about protecting the family. Liam’s facing his own mortality, worrying what will happen if he’s no longer there. Finn reassures him, but the camera pans to Luna watching from the shadows.
We smell danger—and not the slow-burn kind.
Final Thoughts
From old flames to hidden cameras (well, telescopes), this episode had it all. Nick and Brooke might be heating back up, Taylor’s spiraling, and Luna is creeping. The writers are definitely threading a few needles—and dropping some stitches too.
Let’s hope this Jack storyline finally gets its proper due.
