Brooke is her bedroom and has just finished getting dressed. She has on a sky blue camisole and white shorts. We see her tying a print scarf around her head and reaching for her sun glasses when her cell phone rings. It's laying on top of the Enquirer spread. She picks it up and see's that it's Ridge on the Caller ID. She starts to raise it to her ear but then picks up the paper instead. She gets a determined look and turns off her cell phone leaving it behind in the room.
Nick is downstairs, also talking on his cell phone.
N: Bridgette, how would you like to spend the day on an island. Just you me, Brooke, Hope and RJ?
B: Is that where you are? At Mom's?
N: Yes, I'm sorry I didn't wake you. But after I saw the paper this morning, I came over to make sure your mom was okay?
B: The paper?
N: Yes there was a story about Taylor returning. The press are swarming around the house. I thought it would be a good idea to get her and the kids away from all this.
B: That's why I love you so much. You're always the white knight.
N: (Nick smiles) So you're in?
B: Actually, I have some things to do today. Will it be okay if I hang out here and tonight I'll make it up to you.
N: You're sure.
B: Yeah, you go ahead and I'll see you tonight.
Nick hangs up as Brooke enters the room, now without the scarf or sunglasses.
B: Is Bridgette coming?
N: No, she said she had some errands to run. Did you get in touch with Ridge.
B: No. Maybe I should stay here.
N: What did I tell you?
At that moment Hope comes running into the room.
H: Uncle Nick!
Nick scoops up Hope and gives her a big kiss on the cheek.
N: How's my favorite girl this morning?
H: (Hope squeezes him tight) Great! Mom and me have been fixing up my new room. Would you like to see it?
N: I would love too, but first I'd like to take you on an adventure. How does that sound?
H: Really? An adventure? That sounds fun. Are mommy and RJ coming too?
N: Yes, we are all going to have the best day ever!
Nick smiles as he looks at Brooke.
At the Marone Mansion.
Brigette is shown into the living room where Jackie is having some tea.
J: Bridgette. (Jackie says in surprise) What a lovely surprise.
B: You can stop right there. I know what you did, and it's not going to work.
J: Whatever do you mean?
B: (Rolling her eyes) What did you think you would accomplish by having Oscar fly all the way out here?
J: I just thought he might like to come to his cousin's wedding. Funny, but he didn't know a thing about it.
B: Well your "plan" didn't work did it.
J: (still feigning innocence) Plan? My only thought was to help you see what you are getting yourself into. The sooner you realize that things aren't what they appear ...
B: Oh just can it, Jackie. I know what you are going to say and you can just keep it to yourself. I KNOW how Nick feels and that's all that matters.
J: What about how Oscar feels? Does that matter?
B: Oscar's gone now. Massimo told me he flew back this morning.
From the background we hear "No, I'm right here."
Bridgette spins around to see Oscar standing in the doorway. She looks guilty as he asks, "So answer the question." "Does it matter to you how I feel?"
