She disconnects and Carter announces that Brooke and Ridge made quite a splash in Monte Carlo. Katie talks up Brooke and Zende. Hope says what’s good for Brooke’s Bedroom is good for the company. Turning to Steffy, she asks, “Right?” Steffy warns they don’t want to get ahead of themselves. The buzz has to translate to sales. Hope has a feeling that her mom and her line are about to be a big hit… once again.

In Monaco, in the reception tent, Brooke worries whether or not the launch will go viral. Ridge is optimistic that it will… because of her. She’s honest and embraces everything about herself and shares it… even her naughty side, which is his favorite. They canoodle.
At Forrester, Carter tells Zende how impressive his campaign is as Steffy walks over. She agrees, “You did good.” Zende believes in the reboot. Katie says as the head of PR, she does too. Hope chirps that Brooke Logan has always been a hit with the customers and buyers. Everyone is eager for her to get back out there, and Monaco is proving that. She’s sure they have nothing to worry about given her mother’s track record. Katie agrees. Her sister looks freaking amazing. Carter interrupts. He’s a numbers guy and needs to see sales to validate Brooke’s return. Hope is totally confident in her mother and thinks everyone else there should be too.

Hope snarks that maybe someone should have thought about the well-being of the company before… Carter interrupts, not wanting to rehash their argument. Zende thinks sales will be juiced in a way they haven’t seen in a really long time with the bedroom line. In the corner, Katie agonizes. Hope notices and asks if everything is OK. “What’s going on?”
Back in the reception tent, Ridge tells Brooke he’s going to call Steffy and see what’s going on.
At Forrester, Carter mutters, “Helluva time for the website to crash.” Zende says there were too many orders at the same time. Hope thinks they should have anticipated this. Steffy takes a call from Ridge and tells him, “We’re on it.” He’s confused. She explains the website went down. As she puts him on speakerphone, Katie announces it’s back up. Soon, they’re all cheering as Carter announces 126,000 units have been sold! He jokes, “The only problem is we don’t have that much inventory!” Ridge says they’ll get it.

In Monte Carlo, Brooke still can’t believe the relaunch worked out so well. Ridge learned a long time ago never to underestimate the power of Brooke Logan. She thanks him for believing in her; his love and support mean the world to her. Ridge tells her she means a lot to him. They hold hands and he tells her she is the love of his life. “My Logan.” She coos, “My Ridge.”
As Brooke and Ridge kiss, someone watches. The voiceover says, “The role of Taylor Hayes is now being played by Rebecca Budig.” Taylor takes out her phone and makes a call.
At Forrester, Steffy is surprised to hear from her mother and says she misses her and would love to see her. Taylor tells her daughter she misses her too. She’s in Europe and is calling to let her know she’s coming home. Steffy’s thrilled. Taylor says she’ll call her soon with the details. “Mama’s coming home.”
