Eric and Stephanie agree that Brooke can no longer be viewed as the curse in the family. Thomas is jolted back into reality when he overhears Brooke talking with Ridge over a video chat. He becomes nervous when Brooke mentions how she had just told Ridge how she thinks that Thomas is in love… with the fame and attention he’s been getting. Ridge then questions a flustered Thomas if he is interested in anyone. Thomas must then endure a love-dovey exchange as Brooke and Ridge continue their video chat and he decides to go back into his room.
