document: Ridge: Well, I did what had to be done. The judge owed me a favor, so I called it in.
  Thorne: Well, I'm glad you did.
  Ridge: I wasn't sure how you were gonna react.
  Thorne: Seriously? You gave will a chance for a better life. You should be proud of yourself. I'm proud of you -- and grateful. Bill's not a great guy.
  Ridge: Ah, you have no idea. First he went after steffy, and... hey, why don't you guess what he's up to now?
  Bill: Katie is now allowing me to see will as much as i want! How did you do it?!
  Brooke: I didn'T. Katie did.
  Bill: Come on, brooke. She fought so hard for full custody. Now she's practically sharing it with me. You're incredible. Whatever you said to her changed everything for me. I've got my son back... all because of you, brooke -- all because of you.
  Quinn: Okay, question. How many pam and charlies does it take to make a lemon bar?
  Eric: That's a joke, right?
  Quinn: Well, they have been in the kitchen for a really long time.
  Eric: I hope they're not bickering in there.
  Quinn: I don't know. I mean, pam protects that recipe like it's a priceless heirloom. Maybe charlie is trying to add a new ingredient to the mix. Heaven help us.
  Pam: [ Laughs ]
  Charlie: You know, I almost swallowed your engagement ring.
  Pam: I can't believe that you hid my [Laughing] Engagement ring in the lemon bars, charlie.
  Charlie: The one thing you love only second to me, right?
  Pam: Right.
  Charlie: [ Sighs ] Pamela ann... will you be my wife?
  Pam: [ Sniffles ] Yes, charlie webber. I would love to be your wife.
  [ Sighs ]
  Charlie: This is good. Come on this side.
  Pam: Oh. Well, you don't know.
  [ Both laugh ]
  Eric: What? What? No lemon bar?
  Quinn: What have you two been doing in the kitchen all this time? Wait. I don't want to know the answer to that question.
  Pam: Well, actually, you might want to know the answer to that question, quinn, 'cause it was very, um -- how do I say? -- Engaging.
  Charlie: Oh-ho-ho.
  Pam: [ Laughing ] Pretty good, right?
  Eric: Uh, charlie, you got a little, uh, -- you got a little something right there.
  Charlie: Oh.
  Eric: Corner of your mouth there.
  Charlie: Oh, no. Thank you, dear.
  Pam: Thank you.
  Eric: Yeah. All right. All right. All right. What is this? You two are up to something. I want to know what it is.
  Pam: Us?
  Charlie: Us?
  Pam: No. W-we're not up to anything. Are we, charlie?
  Charlie: Nope!
  Pam: Because --
  Quinn: Um, pam, pam, what is that on your finger?
  Pam: What? Oh, this? It's -- it's just... I'm engaged! Isn't it great?! Charlie and I -- well, he proposed to me.
  [ Chuckles ]
  Charlie: Ta-da!
  Pam: Isn't it beautiful?
  [ Chuckles ]
  Thorne: Wait a minute. Bill has been hitting on brooke?
  Ridge: Apparently, it's been going for a while.
  Thorne: How'd you find out?
  Ridge: Steffy walked in on 'em.
  Thorne: Where?
  Ridge: Here. Right here in my office. Bill kissing my wife in my office.
  Brooke: Quite the coincidence, running in to you here.
  Bill: Well, you know, they say there are no coincidences, right? I guess we proved 'em wrong.
  Brooke: Did we?
  Bill: No. I tracked you down.
  Brooke: [ Sighs ]
  Bill: Come on, brooke. I had to see you.
  Brooke: Bill!
  Bill: I-I know. I know. You're off limits. But, my god, what you did for me... you -- you literally gave me my son back. The only thing I can't fathom is how you did it. What did you say to katie to convince her?
  Brooke: I just told her the truth.
  Brooke: You bribed the judge?
  Ridge: I didn't bribe anybody.
  Brooke: You told him to side with katie.
  Ridge: I was protecting a little boy.
  Brooke: You did it to get revenge on bill by taking his son away!
  Ridge: It was a clear-cut case. The judge would have ruled in katie's favor anyway.
  Pam: Thank you, eric.
  Eric: Yeah. I am so happy for the two of you. We both are. Well, uh, to the, uh -- the magic and the wonder of marriage. May the two of you be as happy as quinn and I are.
  Quinn: Cheers.
  Pam: Thank you, mr. Forrester.
  Quinn: I've never see you gesture so much, pam. It must be a learned attribute.
  Pam: Well, with this beautiful thing on my finger, I think it's about to be. Hey, what's your professional opinion, quinn?
  Quinn: Um...
  Pam: Really.
  Quinn: Let me see. [ Sighs ] I think it's really, really lovely.
  Charlie: Thank you.
  Pam: It is.
  Quinn: What's with all the little yellow bits, though?
  Pam: Oh.
  Charlie: Oh, that must be leftover lemon bar.
  Quinn: Oh, that's right. You said you put it in the tray. Here. May I?
  Pam: Yes. Thank you very much.
  Charlie: You know, I thought I'd licked all that off, but here -- let me have another go at it.
  Quinn: It was in his mouth!
  Pam: Well, presentation is everything.
  Eric: All right, look, you two -- uh... have you given any thought to where you're gonna get married?
  Charlie: Mnh-mnh. I don't think we have given that much thought.
  Pam: Well, for me... what could possibly be better than right here, eric? I mean... you know, if that would be okay with you.
  Quinn: In -- in our living room?
  Pam: I sure would love it.
  Thorne: I can't believe this. Spencer and brooke making out, and steffy walked in on them?
  Ridge: Yeah. And she struggled with telling me. She didn't know if she should or not. In the end, she did, and I'm glad she did.
  Thorne: Well, after everything he's done to this family... what are you gonna do?
  Ridge: I don't know. Brooke told me it would never happen again.
  Thorne: It shouldn't have happened in the first place. You guys have been married for like two seconds.
  Ridge: I understand that. He's playing on her sympathies for his case, I guess. I don't know.
  Thorne: Okay.
  Ridge: And I told her that she can't be anywhere near him ever again.
  Thorne: And she agreed?
  Ridge: Yes, she agreed. We can't trust bill. Look what he's done. Look at how he manipulated brooke and katie. I got to do something. I'm gonna protect my wife and I'm gonna protect my family from spencer.
  Brooke: You didn't have to pay for my business lunch.
  Bill: Are you kidding me? After what you've done for me, I should buy you a private island somewhere.
  Brooke: You need to stay away from me, bill. I promised ridge that you would.
  Bill: Well, you shouldn't make promises that I can't keep.
  Brooke: I'm serious.
  Bill: He's that upset with you?
  Brooke: He's upset with you for kissing me!
  Bill: That's because he thinks there's something more to it.
  Brooke: Well, there isn'T. I'm in love with my husband -- only my husband.
  Bill: And yet you jumped through hoops to get katie to let me spend more time with my son.
  Brooke: Because you deserve it, and so does will.
  Bill: You saw katie several times before the hearing and tried to convince her. Then the judge rules in her favor. And -- and now she's practically sharing custody with me. I mean, you're a miracle worker, and when I find out what you said to convince her --
  Brooke: Bill, just let it go. You have a blessing. Your son is back in your life. You need to focus on that.
  Bill: That's exactly what I'm going to do. But the true blessing in my life, brooke... is you.
  Brooke: [ Sighs softly ] I-I have to go. Thank you for paying the bill. That's the last time you'll ever have to do that.
  Pam: All the history in this home -- my sister, you, eric, all the nieces and nephews running in and out.
  Eric: Stephanie would be so pleased that you're getting married.
  Pam: I know.
  Quinn: How about a destination wedding? Santa barbara. Oh, or wine country, right? Because I think eric and I would love to chip in on that for you. [Laughing] Good, eric, do you remember when I first moved in here with tiny all those years ago to live with you and steph?
  Eric: Of course I do. I remember it well. You were starting a whole new life for yourself.
  Pam: Yeah.
  Charlie: Yeah, a-and you made her feel so welcome and -- and like part of the family.
  Pam: You did, eric. And, you know, if you hadn't been so kind, I don't know that I would have stayed, and I never would have met charlie, so...
  Charlie: Yeah.
  Pam: ...Yeah. I mean, you don't know what it would mean to me to get married in front of that fireplace, underneath my sister's portrait -- you know, the true matriarch. It would just be a dream come true.
  Quinn: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You -- you want to put stephanie's portrait up there?
  Pam: Well, yeah, if that would be okay -- you know, like at ridge and brooke's wedding. It was just so incredible, having her in the room with us that day.
  Quinn: You want to take my portrait down and you want to put stephanie's portrait up?
  Pam: Well, she's my sister, quinn.
  Quinn: I know she's your sister. And she'll be with you in spirit wherever you get married.
  Charlie: Yeah. Well, you know, why don't we talk about this --
  Pam: Actually, I happen to know where the portrait is, eric. You know, I mean, if this all wouldn't be too much to ask. So...is it, eric? Is is too much to ask?
  Thorne: I can't even imagine what I would do to that guy if he even tried to hit on katie.
  Ridge: I wouldn't put it past him.
  Thorne: Yeah, but, you know, she -- she would never, uh, go for that, put up with it.
  Ridge: Neither did brooke.
  Thorne: Well... it did happen twice.
  Ridge: She got caught off guard, and spencer -- that's what he does. He knows what he wants. He knew exactly what he was doing. He wants my wife now.
  Thorne: You know, after what happened with steffy... I thought for sure he would just kind of stay away from me.
  Ridge: Yeah, I thought that, too. But, apparently, that's not spencer.
  Thorne: So, is brooke gonna stay away?
  Ridge: Yeah. No private conversations and no private meetings. She saw how upset I was, so, yeah, I think she's gonna stay away from him.
  Thorne: But is he going to stay away from her?
  Ridge: [ Scoffs ] [ Sighs ] If he walks up, she's gonna walk away, or, better still, she's gonna give me a phone call. I would like nothing more than to be in his face. I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna tolerate him hitting on my wife ever again.
  Bill: [ Chuckles softly ] My boy's back in my life... and all because of brooke.
  Brooke: Bill kissed me, and i put a stop to it. This is why I don't like to bring up bill's name, because this is how you get, and it scares me.
  Ridge: I get this way... when someone is kissing me wife and she doesn't tell me about it.
  Brooke: I'm sorry. I should have told you.
  Bill: Brooke, you went to the mat for me, and I can't thank you enough. You're a hell of a woman, brooke.
  Ridge: You are my light... and my shining star. It scares me so much to think that someone could take that away from me. Don't ever let anyone take that light away. Promise me.
  Brooke: [ Sighs ]
  Ridge: Hey. How was your meeting? What, something happened? What's wrong?
  Quinn: Sweetheart, another wedding, so close to the holidays?
  Pam: Well, we could totally do it sooner, you know, so it wouldn't have to be close to the holidays.
  Charlie: Uh, darling, we -- we can't plan a wedding overnight.
  Pam: Well, it wouldn't be overnight, but don't forget how quickly we did hope's wedding.
  Quinn: Yeah, but you two are such a unique couple, you know? I mean, why would you want one of those boring old "do you take this man to be your blah blah blah?" Kind of weddings, you know? What about medieval knights? You love medieval knights. How about you do it there? You know, you're guinevere, you're arthur. We can dress ridge up as sir lancelot. Come on. That'll be fun.
  Pam: You don't want us to have the wedding here.
  Eric: We would love to host your wedding here -- both of us, wouldn't we?
  Pam: Really?
  Quinn: I-I-I-I think that charlie, the groom, should have a say in this, right? I mean, don't -- don't -- don't you want your say, charlie? You know, come on. I mean, king arthur, right, and all the forrester men would be knights at the round table, you know? [ Imitates fanfare playing ] It would be fun.
  Charlie: That'd be fun.
  Pam: Charlie.
  Charlie: Oh. Oh. Or not. I'm gonna do exactly what my lovely bride wants.
  Pam: Oh, thank you. And thank you, eric. I mean, you -- you don't know what this means to me, to -- to be married here in the home that my sister lived in for all those decades -- it would just make my wedding day the happiest day of my life.
  Eric: We'll make it a day you'll never forget.
  Pam: Thank you, eric. Thank you. [ Sniffles ]
  [ Indistinct conversation ]
  Ridge: Brooke, what happened at the meeting?
  Brooke: [ Sighs ] Oh, nothing out of the ordinary.
  Ridge: Really? 'Cause your face is telling a different story.
  Brooke: Something did happen. Uh, so, I was sitting there... at the restaurant after my business meeting and, uh, taking some notes, and I looked up, and he was there.
  Ridge: Not spencer?
  Brooke: Yeah. It was bill. He just appeared. And I didn't invite him, ridge.
  Ridge: Well, that's what happens now. Wherever you are, he is.
  Brooke: He wanted to tell me that katie gave him access to will.
  Ridge: Why? Tell you why? How did he know where you were?
  Brooke: I don't know! He found out somehow. But I certainly didn't invite him. He just showed up.
  Ridge: Ah.
  Brooke: He wanted to thank me, and he said that katie can see things more clearly now because I discussed the custody situation with her.
  Ridge: Yeah, because you told her about the judge and me.
  Brooke: Yes, I did. She deserved to know. But I swore her to secrecy. She's not gonna say anything to bill.
  Ridge: You can't say anything to bill! Why don't you get this? Bill is poison. He's poison to you, to your sister, to thorne, but more than anything else, he's poison to that little boy.
  Brooke: But he loves that little boy. That's why he came to the restaurant to tell me.
  Ridge: No, no, no, no. He came to the restaurant because of you, because he wants you. He's going after you.
  Brooke: Ridge, please don't overreact.
  Ridge: I'm not overreacting! Got some guy kissing my wife.
  Brooke: I don't care about bill. Don't you see that?
  Ridge: Don't you see that i need to do something? I'm gonna end this. How do I end this?
  Brooke: Stop it! Stop talking like that. You're sounding like bill. And you're not like that. You are sweet and gentle, and you are my husband and I love you. And bill can't get to us. So just stop it. Okay?
  [ Sighs softly ]
summary: Charlie washes off the ring and tells Pam that he almost swallowed that. He gets down on bended knee and asks if she will be his wife. They play coy but enjoy teasing Eric and Quinn with the engaging question. Both are happy for them. Eric gives a toast to the magic and wonderment of marriage and hopes they will be happy as he and Quinn. Pam says she would like the ceremony to be right here if it is okay with Eric. He agrees that would make Stephanie so happy. He's at odds though when Pam wants to hang Stephanie's portrait up and Quinn isn't happy with that idea. She even encourages Charlie to be a knight and do it medieval style. But Pam keeps insisting if it is not too much trouble it would make her day to get married here where her sister lived for decades. So it is settled, it will be at Eric's. Thorne tells Ridge that Ridge did what he had to do to give Will a better home; he is grateful for his brother stepping in. They wonder what they can do now. All Ridge knows is that Brooke knows she cannot be around Bill. He has to protect her. He will not tolerate that ever again.
