Lead in shoot of Los Angeles then a shot of an airport gate. A stream of passengers walk by and we see Oscar step out and look around.
Cut to the Shady Marlin:
Bridgette and Nick are enjoying a little breakfast and discussing the wedding.
N: Okay, you slept on it, so what's the verdict?
B: Nick, it sounds wonderful, but I still don't think now is the best time with everything that's happening.
N: It's the perfect time for us to stand up and tell your family that we are the real deal. Maybe it would even help the situation.
B: How do you mean?
N: A wedding makes people think about what's important to them. Maybe Forrester will wake up and realize what a wonderful lady he has in your mom.
B: (not convinced) Does that mean we aren't inviting Taylor?
N: No, it doesn't mean that. But the ceremony will be short. And if anyone gives us any grief (in a pirate voice) we'll make them walk the plank, Arrrrr!
Nick leans over to kiss Bridgette but she stops and looks a little sad.
N: My kisses shouldn't have that effect on you until after the wedding.
B: (forces a smile, then goes back to looking pensive) It's just that things don't feel right. I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that if we go ahead with this now that something bad will happen.
Nick looks concerned as we cut back to the airport.
Jackie is anxiously waiting near the exit doors, searching the crowd. We see Oscar coming down the escalator. Jackie waves to get his attention and leads him to a waiting limo.
O: So what's happened to Bridgette, is she all right?
J: She is fine now, but she won't be if she goes through with this wedding.
O: (looking surprised) Wedding? What wedding?
J: She didn't tell you?
O: Tell me what? She told me a couple of months ago that she needed some space to resolve some issues. When she didn't return my calls I backed off to give her time she needed.
J: Oh dear, i didn't realize that you didn't know. Oscar, she's set on marrying Nicky.
Oscar doesn't look too pleased.
O: You had me fly out to LA to tell me that! I thought you said she needed me! Sounds like she needs Nick, not me!
J: I understand your confusion but there is a perfectly valid reason that I called you.
O: And that is?
J: Nicky's not in love with Bridgette, he's in love with Brooke.
O: Wait, I thought her issue had to do with Ridge and dealing with past feelings? Now you're telling me she's in love with my cousin?
J: Yes, and if we don't get through to her, she's going to be hurt very badly.
O: Wait, Nick's asked her to marry him, right? How can he be in love with Brooke? Isn't she still married to Ridge?
J: That's part of the problem. Nicky only proposed to Bridgette because he thought Brooke wasn't available. Brooke was married to Ridge, but we recently learned that Taylor is alive so Ridge and Taylor are still legally married.
O: I think you had better turn this car around and take me back to the airport. This is something I don't need right now, especially since.... (Oscar pauses as if he thought better of what he was going to say)
J: Since what, Oscar? What is it?
O: It's just that she never officially broke off our engagement, it was just on hold ...or so I thought. I'm not sure when she was planning on telling me, but ...
J: It seems that our Miss Bridgette may have some doubts herself. Oscar you have to talk to her.
Oscar just scowls and looks like he's unsure of the whole mess.
