Hope goes over to Stephanie who is all too happy to start the brainwashing. I'm not really surprised she invited Hope to stay even though she never showed any interest in the girl before. This is yet another great way to get at Brooke but turning her daughter against her and having Hope rely on her instead of Brooke. I did notice that she was fine with Hope forgiving Oliver. Of course you can't forgive anyone with the name of Logan but anyone else seems to be fair game in Stephanie's world.

So Brooke finally figured out where Hope would go. Duh of course she'd go to the sister who went through the same thing. Even Bridget was wondering although she did tell Hope that she should try forgiving Hope because she thought Brooke really did make a mistake. This whole thing is just a mess because it doesn't really make sense. It makes more sense for Oliver to be mistaken but Brooke not so much considering how long she's been with Ridge. Oliver never had sex with Hope and didn't she tell him on the phone that she was going to give him a gift of a more personal nature? That just seemed to be dropped unless I just imagined her saying that. Maybe the music confused me.

Oliver's trying to make it up to Hope. I'm kind of rooting for him since I really do believe he loves Hope. Sure that was stupid of him to think that Hope wanted her first time at the party but I guess he could be forgiven for that. He did turn down Skanky One when she was parading around in her undies and sitting on top of him. I guess he's having his buddy whoever the hell is help him. Maybe he should help the guy back with that hair of his. So Hope does go over to see Oliver after all Queen Stephanie told her to go and hello was anyone else stunned to see her without a brooch. I just think it might be a sign of the Apocalypse.

Speaking of bad what in the world was Aggie wearing? That was just horrible. Now the dress was bad enough but what in the hell was that thing on her head? I'm not sure what it was. I just kept looking at it. I thought it was going to come to life and attack Oliver or fly off her head. She certainly seemed excited by the guy with the bad hair while I was just left scratching my head about what was resting on her head. Maybe it was a new breed of bug. Now where is Reese Durkee when you need him. I'm sure he'd know what it was since I certainly didn't. And the thing didn't even match her horrible outfit. I guess having sex caused her to make bad fashion decisions so maybe she should stop having sex to see if her clothing choices improve.

I almost feel sorry for Skanky One who is desperate to prove she didn't out the secret but of course I don't like her so I really don't feel bad for her. Oops I almost called him Twitchy since that was his name in another life when he lived in Llanview. She calls Liam ironically to help her prove her innocence. She also invites I forget what she called him because I was too busy saying hey that's the guy from Family Matters isn't it? He looks like a black Santa. He's just missing the beard and the red suit. So she's determined to prove that she didn't do it so she can earn her Dad's trust back. I sort of almost wish her luck but who knows maybe Ridge just needs time to think about it.

Ridge could come around and start wondering why she'd be so desperate for him to see her laptop if she knew the incrimianting evidence would be found on it which makes no sense. If you did something you're not going to try to prove you're innocent by showing what would just make you look guilty. Come on think Ridge you can do it or have you used up your brain cells for the month? I guess it is easier for him to forgive Brooke as opposed to his daughter. I think his head is on the verge of exploding because he's got to be worried about Hope. I wonder what he'll think of Stephanie offering Hope the guest house. It is a nice place. I wouldn't mind staying there myself. Wasn't that nice of her not to bother ask Eric if it was okay with him?
