Bold and the Beautiful - 2000 (S13 E204) FULL EPISODE 3338

[@babs4848]

Best line of the episode Macy saying Thorne doesn't really know Brooke. And she is right because she pretends to be good with her men and she shows her real self only to the women she is in competition.

[@MichelleCootee]

Your so right about that

[@ambika66681]

💯 true 👍

[@tiroyaonejustinphologolo9763]

Yes!

[@TriniT21]

Indeed. And case in point... Thorne calling jonathon saying no rush on the divorce papers, while his mattress...i mean.. Mistress...is rushing Macy to sign the divorce papers

[@jonfoerster]

Becky's closer: "Be Kind. Please Rewind."

[@NewYorkNick0607]

*Plot Driving* The symbolic significance of everyone driving and on the road can't be overstated. Macy, Brooke and Thorne have all been trying to control the plot and now Thorne thinks he's driving it toward an amicable conclusion but instead Macy is going to steer it toward an explosive climax. Brooke helpless in the passenger seat is a sign that she has lost control of the plot and is now being carried along for the ride. And Kimberly driving (albeit peacefully) foreshadows her attempt after Macy's funeral to drive the plot herself and get revenge on Brooke. I've written many times before about how B&B borrows from Classic American Literature and this driving trope is lifted directly from _The Great Gatsby_ where the climactic moment in the novel involves all the main characters in two separate cars and a deadly collision that alters all of their fates.

[@MichelleCootee]

Your so right about that

[@z-5reader939]

Yes. Great analogy to Gatsby. Car wrecks are dramatic and suspenseful means of killing off characters. Too bad it had to be Macy and not Brooke.

[@tiroyaonejustinphologolo9763]

Great comparison Nick

[@annieo6527]

I love that analysis! And Macy even refers to this explicitly in the car by saying "we're going to do this my way" and "how does it feel, someone else controlling your life?" - echoing the one time she has taken control of the plot before (the Anthony storyline, where she also asserted plot control by saying "we're doing this my way").

[@FayeIL]

Great point about the symbolic significance of driving. Many important pieces of classic early to mid century American literature focus on the open road and travel: the possibilities it represented, the opening up of new frontiers and new adventures. In today’s episode everyone is similarly driving toward a new destiny for all of them, albeit a very dark one. I also thought there was something very film noir-ish about the night cinematography of the driving scenes in this episode, which perhaps was also deliberate.

[@Angelika....]

Clark here is straighter and more rational concerning macys condition than Sally. She never should let her there alone in the cabin. this woman gets nuts

[@karenjackson5989]

CJ: "That probably meant that Thorne screwed up!" Exactly.

[@TriniT21]

🎯 CJ was on the money

[@annieo6527]

The "see you next week!" at 8:47 goes by almost unnoticed, as if it were just unimportant background noise, but if you look closely this goodbye is meant for the poor truck driver who has an hour left to live, making it quite poignant in retrospect. This woman is just having an ordinary day at work, and yet in just a little while she will heroically risk (and ultimately sacrifice) her life without a moment's hesitation to save a total stranger (Macy).

[@sharonstewart4882]

Macy should've told Brooke, "See You Next Tuesday!" 🤭

[@nancytautuaa8996]

If homewrecker Brooklyn wasn't so desperate for Thorne to be divorced none of this accident business that killed Macy wouldn't happened lol Thorne didn't even ask her to bring those divorce papers to the cabin she is definitely desperate to have a man around since Ridge isn't available lol

[@trfandom250]

Brooke should have kept her mouth shut. Why did she tell Macy there was nothing she could do? Macy definitely did something as did Stephanie when she also tried to kill Brooke. God I hate Brooke.

[@aksbrown]

Well, Macy was wasting her time. And taking Brooke to Thorne would have made macy more embarrassed.

[@jacarriusdoesthings]

I literally hated the 2000-2004 theme. Brooke ain’t nothing but a homewrecker, smh 🤦🏽‍♂️ Macy didn’t tell one lie about that SFTV. After a year, the relationship didn’t last.

[@bongileaugust]

Thank God I'm not the only one who hated that "revamped" theme song. I prefer the current updated one even

[@PaisaEsteban]

​@bongileaugust I hated how this short version in particular sounded like nails on a chalkboard. So screechy!! I was also annoyed that they phased out all of the other closing credit themes.

[@annieo6527]

The confr o n tation between Macy and Brooke in Big Bear is a "mirror scene" to the one between _Stephanie_ and Brooke in Big Bear in the beginning of this storyline (Season 12). In both of these cabin scenes, Stephanie and Macy are furiously out of control compared to their usual selves, and completely consumed with protecting Thorne from Brooke's eviI infIuence (although Stephanie comes across as more genuinely scary than Macy does). This confirms what I've said earlier about how from Venice on, Macy stepped into Stephanie's role in this storyline. And now as we are approaching the culmination of the storyline, Macy is the one being sacrificed in Stephanie's place.

[@BriannaKiser-ig7jj]

The fallout of what would happen to Brooke and Thorne relationship is just 😆everyone tried to warn him even though he deserved it what bs macy had went through just for Brooke to say what they all warned him of in some way even if it was just hints of him knowing macy was alive and him realizing the mistake he made and went to find her and that’s how him and Brooke ended but karma got him at the end the hissy fit he threw at Brooke when he found out Brooke was just using him as a place holder was priceless

[@DonaldTaft]

Brooke begs Macy to slow down three times, yet during the whole scene there is another car behind them keeping pace 😆 and if Brooke was so damn scared, why wouldn’t she at least put on her seatbelt?! Good grief. 🥴

[@annieo6527]

I keep thinking there are a hundred things Brooke could have said to Macy that would _actually_ have made her slow down. Like, for example, reminding her how devastated her mother would be if she had an accident. But that would take Brooke actually trying to show compassion.

[@sharonstewart4882]

@@annieo6527 Brooke isn't a good mother to her own children and she was a bad daughter to Beth, so she wouldn't understand that connection.

​@@annieo6527that would involve Brooke actually thinking about someone other than herself.

[@tiroyaonejustinphologolo9763]

@@annieo6527 Yet we're expected to believe Brooke feels things deeply

[@annieo6527]

Throughout the Brooke/Macy scene, Macy is teetering on the brink of in san i ty. You can see her edging closer, then puIIing herself back, again and again, by alternately thre at en ing Brooke and trying to get away from her. But every time Macy tries to put a "safety margin" between herself and Brooke (physically or mentally), Brooke advances, cornering Macy. Then finally, in the last thirty seconds of the car scene, Macy goes over the edge. There are actually similarities between this scene and the Macy/Anthony scene from S8 in that in both scenes, Macy reaches a point where she is so ang ry that she no longer cares whether she lives or dies, as long as her antagonist doesn't get his/her way. And then disaster strikes, and Macy comes to her senses and becomes rationaI again, and focused on surviving and saving others.

[@rsclassicfanforever]

The first episode with the new 2000-2004 theme! :)

[@napomotshumi8905]

[@leviaj1]

I know we're meant to think Macy's having a mental breakdown and that she's becoming unhinged, but I see this as her reclaiming her agency, at least to an extent. She's standing up to Brooke, a woman who's done nothing but belittle and patronize her, and takes control of her selfhood once again.

[@songriver1232]

Brooke pushed her over the edge. She got that woman so enraged she didn't care who lived or dies.d. and no one goes to jail in a soap opera. For more than a handful of episodes

[@annieo6527]

Thirty seconds of insanity after weeks of being put through heII. Macy was not of sound mind and that would probably reduce her sentence. Besides, she redeemed herself afterwards by saving Brooke's life, which would also have been a point in her favor. And the only way there would be a case against her is if she turned herself in, because only Macy can know what her intentions were (and given her state of mind maybe even she wasn't fully aware of her own intentions).

[@marysmith-gk6qb]

I jnow Brooke is wrong. But never cared for Macy. Dont like what they did to her character. Just like Sly!

Help me understand this y'all. In soap opera time, Becky died "last night", her funeral was "today" and Macy died "tonight"?
