If Tim helped Taylor in the first place his life wouldn't be in pieces now.

[@MichelleCootee]

Your so right about that

[@francoisekoko6068]

Tim is a fool phyllis had him played the same way

[@thenewctc]

Tim died in Genoa City anyways 😂

[@ksbaxter]

The slo mo of the gate crashing was 💯

Your so right about that

[@ambika66681]

Epic !!

[@brendanbressler9807]

Oh NOW Clarke finally says something. 🤦‍♂️🙄

[@juliaschmidt6511]

He was very afraid of Morgan. She threatened him many times. I can understand him.

[@NewYorkNick0607]

So Ridge drove his car through Morgan's house even though Taylor or Steffy could've been standing right there and been killed? This show has completely gone off the rails. Everything is about these action/adrenaline set pieces now (the car accident and explosion with Macy, the boat almost capsizing when Steffy disappeared, Carmen falling from the roof) instead of character drama. This is supposed to be a soap, not The Fast and the Furious.

[@ministryofwrongthink9847]

At least back then cars were made of sturdier materials unlike today made of plastic the vehicle would have been a crumpled mess😅

[@z-5reader939]

And, it was an SUV for a reason.

[@orifeldman3213]

And somehow it takes him wayyyyyyy too long to get from the gate to the house

[@sharonstewart4882]

I remember I stopped watching the show regularly around this time and now I'm reminded why. It really feels like a different show now.

[@kpbv68307]

This! I think hearing Ridge’s voiceover beforehand made it worse. I stopped watching the show for a while when this originally aired so was curious how this played out. It really went way off the rails and indeed marked a strange period driven by over the top stunts.

[@brendanbressler9807]

15:00-15:30- HT rocked that scene!

Poor Taylor, she'll know what a bullet feels like next yr! 😢⏳

[@francoisekoko6068]

Tim asking morgan to trust him to help her like he did the first time.. oh yeah😂😂😂😂

[@annieo6527]

"I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear what you just said". Judging by the results, this must have been Tim's approach all through his therapy sessions with Morgan.

[@Tikaboo27]

Stephanie was the only character with great intuition and sense, even Sally was a gullible idiot 😂

[@kpbv68307]

“Could she have done something to her, is she that disturbed?” Ridge at 9:43 still trying to piece things together. “Two dogs, two dogs?” I needed a Stephanie voiceover saying “Think, you idiot!”

Morgan lives in her own crazy world. She's a psychopath!

[@bradleygarcia9973]

“And don’t you show me any compassion, Tim! I told you this was going to happen, but you don’t have any GUTS!” Go tell him!

[@annieo6527]

Taylor did tell Tim right from the beginning. She should give him one of those I Told You So T shirts.

[@Phillybags]

I’m surprised Stephanie didn’t just go over to Morgan’s instead of questioning Clark

[@-Lily7415]

And how did Ridge know how to get to Morgan’s house?Im sure she didn’t give him directions!

[@MiriamStigsdotter]

Good point

[@lil_jon411]

[@hendrickhendrick7034]

I'm glad they brang back the 80s soundtrack with Morgan and Taylor. I haven't heard that since

[@HunterWrangler]

Yes! The score was from 12:07 to 14:13 was nearly the entire score from 1988. We heard it a few episodes ago when Rick broke up with Amber but it didn’t get as far along in the track.

[@annieo6527]

Taylor's final prayer is _for Morgan?_ That's as "Good Girl" as it can possibly get.

[@-Lily7415]

Yes

[@jemekiahall5848]

I'd say a pray she didn't kill me too!😂

[@mara4450]

In the next episode Taylor at least gets to punch Morgan.

[@juliaschmidt6511]

My beautiful Taylor is an angel.

[@annieo6527]

What is the purpose of Clarke revealing the truth about Morgan _now?_ The plot is already moving inevitably towards its conclusion. Ridge has already understood Steffy's message and is acting on it. The information given by Clarke to Stephanie adds nothing significant because Stephanie is not involved in rescuing Taylor and Steffy - Ridge is doing it by himself. This is such an odd missed be at in the storyline - the natural thing to do would have been to let Clarke's information be the final missing piece of the puzzle, the one that sent Ridge and Stephanie on a mission to save Taylor and Steffy. And yet Clarke's reveaI goes nowhere, because it comes at a time when that plot point is already past its usefulness.

[@FayeIL]

I think Clarke’s reveal is being brought up now for the same reason they suddenly have Stephanie involved - the writers realized they have too many loose ends, and they’re trying to tie them up all at once. The problem is that it doesn’t work; they’re trying to make up for too many months of bad storytelling.

[@NewYorkNick0607]

This whole storyline was so badly written and structured. It would've been better for Clarke to reveal that a few episodes earlier and let that knowledge of Morgan being dangerous inform Ridge's interpretation of the drawing. Of course it then _still_ wouldn't make sense that Clarke kept it a secret this whole time. Like I said, the whole storyline is bad!

[@TriniT21]

​@@NewYorkNick0607but then.... We would miss ALLLLLL of Ridge's wonderful mental and external narration (bc who doesn't love a tell and not show...) and the 6 episodes it took for the light bulb to finally switch on in Ridge's head 💡😐 It really was like watching a computer dial up to the Internet back in the day.

[@annieo6527]

@@FayeIL yes - it's as if they were intending for Clarke's information to be used at some point in the storyline and then they just forgot about it, realized that Morgan was about to exit the show, and thought "oh, we'll just throw in a scene to wrap that up".

[@galoutlaw8089]

I thought Stephanie would come in the end with cops.

[@orifeldman3213]

Can someone explain to me how come it takes Ridge minutes to drive from the gate to the house?????

[@jemekiahall5848]

I'm guessing she had a long driveway!😂

[@annieo6527]

Maybe he stops on the way to have a voiceover.

[@ksbaxter]

Ridge to the rescue

[@MrCraigblaze]

Drive threw auto center...😂😂

[@tioutlw782]

Tim, what an idiot, to think Morgan wanted him! Ridge waiting so long to figure out what else he sees in the picture than woman and child!😄 That's Soap Operas! It's over Morgan!😝

[@MichelleCootee]

Thank you so much for this really great episode and I hope that everyone is having a great day as well

[@HunterWrangler]

The close up on Tim starting at 11:33 as Morgan narrates was moving to me. Tim was not bright in this whole mess, but he’s clearly realized he made a huge mistake helping Morgan.

[@johannad8029]

RM's bad acting is kind of charming.

[@TriniT21]

Lol. RM is Ridge Forrester. Full stop lol. Bad acting and all lol.

[@HereIAmInYourLife]

Yes! TK is a much better actor, but he just doesn't have the essence of Ridge, lol

[@annieo6527]

It's an actual character trait. He wouldn't be Ridge without it.

[@TriniT21]

@@annieo6527 the bad acting... we've come to expect it. In fact, we demand it 😂 It actually helps the character along with his cluelessness lol

[@galoutlaw8089]

I agree with you all 😂

[@juliaschmidt6511]

Morgan planned this from the very beginning to get rid of Taylor. She despises her!

[@OradixieGalloway]

Can u blame her,she cause her to lose her baby

[@ambika66681]

​@@OradixieGallowayMorgan deserves it !

[@MichelleCootee]

Your so right about that

[@juliaschmidt6511]

​​@@OradixieGallowayThat was an accident. Taylor never pushed her. Morgan forced that accident because she didn't leave Taylor alone. Instead she rushed upstairs with the crazy look in her eyes.

[@ministryofwrongthink9847]

Morgan was always playing for Taylor’s position see the movie “single white Female “ for reference

[@annieo6527]

So let me understand this... _why_ did Morgan kldnap Steffy in the first place? She made no attempt to start a new life with her new "daughter" - on the contrary, she did everything to make that impossible, including getting a house right next to Ridge and Taylor's. And now she wants Steffy to leave town _without her,_ to be adopted by strangers?

[@FayeIL]

Eh, that makes sense. I said all along that Morgan has no actual interest in children. They’re called a “labor” of love for a reason! She’s too dramatic and self-centered and narcissistic to actually want the care of a child. First she wanted kids as a way to hold on to Ridge; hence her *only* wanting him as the father. Then she took Steffy to torment Taylor and allegedly Stephanie, whose favorite Steffy was. Of course, that fell flat because Stephanie inexplicably cut out of the story so she could have sleepovers with Brooke, but that’s another story.

[@TriniT21]

​@@FayeILI think you are giving Morgan too much credit 😂 She went thru all the trouble of paying a 2nd party to kidnap a child, dyed the child's hair red (to match hers), was insisting the child called her mommy...and for what? She has just NOW realised that keeping Steffy around if she has Ridge will be a liability? Morgan claims she wanted a child so badly, yet spent all her waking moments out of the house. Steffy spent more time with Norita, then Tim, and even chained up Taylor than she did with Morgan. On top of which, stealing Steffy wouldn't just hurt Taylor.. It would hurt Ridge, too. Is that what she wanted to accomplish? I don't think so. Everything just was all over the place with Morgan (with Taylor "leaving" Ridge and showing up at her house just a fringe benefit). Bc Morgan's "plan" was no plan at all. Kidnapping Steffy was a waste of everyone's time, including Steffy's.

[@mara4450]

Morgan clearly had no experience with/knowledge of kids. Didn't she once say that she has avoided kids, that they reminded her too much of the baby that she had aborted? Morgan's great plan had been reading Steffy that story about poor orphan Stacy and her fairy godmother, dying the hair and the child was supposed to be happy with her new identity and her godmother/new mom. 🤦‍♀ Even a 2 year old has a mind of her own and won't just forget her family just because the weird red-haired -almost- stranger has told her so. In one scene Morgan tells Tim that she will take care of Taylor's 3 kids - wonder how she really meant that, when she later talked about letting Steffy be adopted by strangers.

[@annieo6527]

I agree that Morgan's plan was no plan at all, and that she was so focused on replacing the child that she lost as a way of "healing", that she never once considered the reality of raising a child (and now that she has a child in the house, she may be starting to realize that parenting is not for her after all).

[@MrCraigblaze]

A very good episode. I found this SL very long and Very contrived !!

[@-Lily7415]

That’s why she wanted Tim to have her adopted out over seas

[@brendanbressler9807]

Ridge crashing through the gate and Morgan's house is probably just like how KKL stormed into the office of the CBS Daytime VP and demanded to know why she wasn't making People Magazine's Most Beautiful People list.

There is no reason for Ridge to be assuming Steffie is alive. Only Taylor knows. But neither Ridge or Stephanie seem surprised that Steffie alive but can't seem to figure out how they know?

[@kpbv68307]
