At the mansion, to kick off a summer party, Eric makes a toast to “today.” With Donna sitting on his lap, he, Donna, Liam, Hope, Paris and Zende talk to Brooke about Ridge’s big return home. Eric then announces that he has invited Donna to return to Forrester. Everyone is so happy to celebrate all of the love that’s coming together.
Zende and Paris step aside. Once he makes sure Paris is okay, they rejoin the group as everyone gushes over Liam’s special chili. Nearby, Brooke and Hope privately talk about her situation. Hope knows how hard it was when Ridge moved out. And though they are taking baby steps, Brooke confirms that “Ridge is and will always be my destiny.”

Ridge arrives at the cliff house and finds Taylor alone. Though she invites him to join her and Thomas for a feast later, Ridge has plans — Brooke is hosting a BBQ. “I moved back in with her,” he announces. “When did this happen?” Taylor asks. “Why?” Ridge talks about Brooke’s broken ankle, to which Taylor replies, “There’s a reason to give a marriage another go.” He knows this isn’t what Taylor wants to hear — and she clearly agrees — but he promises never to turn his back on her… Taylor, Steffy and Thomas are his family too.
Holding back tears, Taylor rants about what Sheila has done to them then says what they had when he was there was real. Taylor drops a bowl of food and cries that she was trying to keep him safe. Brooke was going to hurt him again — she always does. After listing off Brooke’s long line of deception, Taylor reminds Ridge that “this road to destiny” has been filled with heartache. It’s going to be so hard for Taylor to watch him return to Brooke — she just wants him to be happy. Ridge loves her for always having his back and tries to hug Taylor. She stops him, says, “No,” then he leaves. Taylor breaks down in tears.
Ridge returns to the mansion to find Brooke alone. Everyone’s in the pool and Brooke thought maybe he’d want to talk. Ridge fills her in on what happened with Taylor. It wasn’t easy on him. Brooke knows it wasn’t easy for Taylor to hear but she’s a strong woman. She worries about Taylor too and says it would be awful if she fell into the wrong hands.

Taylor enters Il Giardino and looks around. Deacon appears at the bar, stunned to see Taylor there after what happened with Steffy and Finn. Taylor admits it’s been very hard, given everything that has happened, and asks Deacon if he knows where Sheila could be.
Over at the loft, Carter applies sunscreen on Quinn’s back with plans to lay out on the rooftop deck. He’s had dreams of doing this. Quinn can’t believe they are back together. After they kiss, Quinn reveals that she talked to Wyatt. It took a little bit but he’s happy for her — but not so much with Eric. Over talk of Eric’s affair with Donna, Quinn voices her revulsion over Donna luring Eric with “that disgusting” bottle of honey, then vows to focus on the super-hot man in front in her. Carter calls her “honey,” to which Quinn orders him never to call her that again, then they discuss how he almost married Paris. Quinn couldn’t imagine a future without Carter — and luckily she doesn’t have to. He suggests they head up to the rooftop and start grilling. However, Quinn has other plans and wants to build up an appetite. She lies on the bed and he joins her. After they make love, Quinn talks cheeseburgers but Carter comments on how they haven’t lost their touch — they are lovers, friends and confidants. Quinn has never been so happy and can’t wait to see where their love story takes them. They passionately kiss.
Next on The Bold and the Beautiful, Taylor pushes Deacon for answers regarding to Sheila.

1/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Divorced make-out buddies. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> When they were together, she was kind of a homicidal homewrecker. Now, though? Well, now she’s the kinda femme fatale who’d throw herself at him just to stick it to his <em>other</em> ex, Christine. So… progress?</p>

2/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Friends without benefits. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> No sooner had Chance and Sharon slept together than it started looking like Summer was into him, too. (Spoiler alert: She was and is.) Then Sharon had a wacky-ass dream that prompted her to dump the new exec in town without so much as a goodbye bagel.</p>

3/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Separated. Like, <em>very</em> separated. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Ashley had no sooner said “I do” to her conniving ex than she asked herself, “What have I done?” And given the quality of that Paris green screen, she probably also had to ask, “Where have I done it?”</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
4/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Split up… for the moment. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Though Daniel was happily boo’d up with former wife Lily, he still cheated with his ex. Hardly a great way to restart a relationship — or to end one!</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
5/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> TBD. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Not only is the couple not as close as they once were, she’s completely preoccupied these days with ex-husband Cole and their back-from-the-dead daughter. “Understandable,” says everyone else who’s ever had a back-from-the-dead kid.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
6/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Sometime bedmates. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> His dimples didn’t grow shallower. His abs didn’t become less rippling. Yet Audra’s interest in Kyle waned around the same time that the Abbott heir stopped being a pawn who was as useful as he was pretty.</p>
Image: CBS
7/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Newly wed.<strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> They married against all odds. Now they just have to keep <em>beating</em> the odds — a neat trick, what with Jack busy helping his bride’s sworn enemy, his ex-wife Nikki, climb back onto the wagon.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
8/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Split. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Sally wasn’t quite as over Nick’s brother Adam as she’d wished — and Nick had hoped — she was. But hey, they’ll always have their memories. And that couch.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
9/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Married… with children. (Well, one, at least.) <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Daughter Aria’s hearing loss has forced the couple to listen ever closer to their hearts.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
10/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Divorced. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> History is repeating itself with Phyllis inserting herself into their renewed relationship. Which begs the question: Why does Phyllis never insert herself into a good book instead?</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
11/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Together. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Rug burn? Other than their propensity for stair sex, there isn’t really anything standing — or lying — in the way of their happiness. Surely, their relationship can withstand the return of Nate the Snake to Chancellor-Winters. And her ex Chance’s hiring. And his ex Amanda returning for a visit. And… On second thought, good luck, kids!</p>

12/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> A thing of the past. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> One big betrayal (Summer’s secret-keeping for mom Phyllis) led to another (Kyle’s affair with Audra). Of course there’s always the chance that coparenting lil’ Harrison could remind these two of bygone days when we had “Skyle” for miles.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
13/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Happily married. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> She’s ready to ride off into the sunset with her husband. He’s less interested in a <em>last</em> hurrah than the <em>next</em> one.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
14/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> In cahoots — and occasionally bed. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> They kinda consider one another a good time rather than something to savor for all time. Which is smart. We wouldn’t trust either of them as far as we could throw ’em (and we’re terrible at throwing anything but shade).</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
15/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Take ’em off the grill, they’re done. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Billy’s support of Chelsea turned out to have as much to do with him wanting to reunite with her as it did him wanting to look out for her mental health.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
16/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Th-th-that’s all, folks.<strong> Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Not a lotta husbands want to stick around after their wives have random stair sex with their sperm donor. And to be clear, Chance wasn’t one of the husbands who <em>did</em> wanna stick around after a thing like that.</p>
Image: CBS screenshot
17/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Reunited, and it feels so good. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> He’s a relationship wrecking ball, and she’s an agent of chaos. What could <em>possibly</em> go wrong?</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
18/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Kaput. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> You <em>could</em> say Diane. But between “Phack,” they have more emotional baggage than you could fit in the overhead compartment of a dozen jets.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
19/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Don’t start us crying. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> His untimely demise stuck a fork in one of the more stable marriages that Sharon has ever had.</p><p></p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
20/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Pressing “restart.”<strong> Their biggest obstacle:</strong> At this point, there really isn’t one. “Ally” seem to have learned from their past mistakes. They certainly have enough of them to choose from!</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
21/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> As finished as finished gets. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> He gave friend Abby benefits that were most definitely <em>not</em> approved by his girlfriend.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
22/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> “Ex” marks the spot. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Their passion was said to have burned them as badly as it heated up their nights.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
23/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Splitsville. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> With good reason, she hates his family as much as she loves him. Plus, if they never break up, they can never have make-up sex.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
24/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> R.I.P. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Nate’s affair with Victoria was the last straw for Elena. And she’d given him a lot of straws!</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
25/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Game over. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Britney Spears’ “Toxic” wasn’t written about the exes — but it could’ve been.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
26/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Finito. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> They just didn’t have what it takes to be lifers. Together, they were more like…yearers? A-few-monthers.</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
27/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Divorced coparents. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Did we mention how incredible Billy Boy is at turning good things bad? Because it does bear mentioning.</p>
Image: Aaron Montgomery/JPI
28/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Together again… for now. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> They were just kids when they originally hooked up and locked it down. (See photo.) But Daniel may still not have matured enough to deserve Lily; just ask Heather, with whom he two-timed his one and only.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
29/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Happily hitched for the third time. Well, <em>relatively</em> happily. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Victor and Nikki survived Jordan’s vendetta against the Newmans. But will their marriage survive an aftermath that’s rougher than a bad hangover?</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
30/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> History. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> They might’ve gotten past her kissing his cousin Nate, but going so far as to play doctor with him? Er, not so much.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
31/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Separated coparents. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Sometimes love just ain’t enough. It didn’t help, either, that she tried to frame him for poisoning Rey.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
32/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Nemeses. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> The onetime coconspirators are probably too much alike for that old flame to get relit.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
33/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Done-er than done. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Take it from Ashland — once ya lie about having cancer, there’s no going back. Also, he’s dead.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
34/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> May we never speak of their marriages again. <strong>Their biggest obstacle: </strong>Since she saw him as a father figure and had been hitched to both of his sons, they kinda put the “ew” in “union.”</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
35/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Mom-and-pop operation. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> It’s a tossup as to which of these two has a greater propensity for falling out of the frying pan and into the fire.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
36/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> <em>El fin.</em> <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Doug Davidson has said that he <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/news/600536/young-restless-doug-davidson-says-not-returning-paul/" target="_blank">won’t be returning</a> to the show. Translation: Paul won’t be returning to Christine.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
37/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Involved… we think. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> We haven’t seen them on screen in so long, we can’t be sure they’re even still a couple!</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
38/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Exes. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> She eventually realized that she was a lesbian.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
39/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Who knows? <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> The teenage sweethearts were shipped off to college before becoming a big enough couple to get their names blown up like Tessa and Mariah’s.</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
40/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Divorced. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Charlie and Mattie’s daddy had a dreadful habit of lying to their mommy. And kissing other women. And sometimes sleeping with them. And…</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
41/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Former colleagues. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Imani vanished from the canvas around the same time that sis Amanda left town.</p>
Image: John Paschal/JPI
42/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Apart. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Though the former marrieds are endgame to many a fan, they have a hard time convincing the stars to align. And <em>stay</em> aligned!</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI, Sean Smith/JPI
43/44
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Divorced to the nth. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> He may have married her twice, but he now hates her three times as much as he ever did.</p>
