Ep. #5228 (21x78)

Air date: Jan 16, 2008

Jackie visits Brooke at home and tells her that Taylor doesn’t seem to have the ability to be a good mother to Jack. Jackie suggests that Brooke and Nick having this child is a sign from God that they are meant to be together and that Brooke would make a better mother to Jack than Taylor. Ridge tells Ashley of Brooke’s concern for Taylor and Baby Jack. Ashley tells Ridge that there is a part of her that hopes that he and Brooke find happiness but another part that hopes that they don’t. Taylor comes downstairs, eyes a bottle of alcohol and is tempted by it. She pours herself a cup of coffee then grabs the bottle adding a significant amount into her cup. Nick calls Brooke to give her an update on Taylor and tells her that it would be best if she stay away from Taylor for a while. Brooke tells Nick that she can not just stand by and do nothing if Taylor is not able to be a mother to Jack.
