Bare with us as this untimely addition to our recaps had a processing problem when it was first uploaded.  A big Dec recap for ya.

Impeachment cramps our style so we catch up on Nov episodes.  After Hope reals from her conclusion that Thomas dissolved in acid we get an anticlimactic return of our "squeaky clean" villain.  Ridge first rages at Brooke and Hope for getting custody of Douglas then the revelation of Hopes coverup spells the end for Bridge.  

Halloween night winds down with Thomas's indecent proposal ending in a creepy back rub.  The next day Hope's determination to gain custody of Douglas intensifies much to Liams chagrin.  Zoe tries to get Thomas's mind off Hope but even a kiss can't stop his obsession.  Shauna and Ridge find more ways to connect as Brooke and Ridges relationship can't seem to move beyond their issues with their children.  The week ends in disaster when Thomas lures Hope to FC with the adoption papers.

With Douglas taken from Hope and posted up with the rest of the Forester men at "the castle" Hope devises a plan to gain custody of Douglas.  Ridge and Shauna share a kiss when they coincidentally end up in the guest house together.  On Halloween Hope attends a party at the Foresters and Liam and Stephy spend some time with the girls.  Thomas makes it clear to Hope that the only way she'll be in Douglas's life is if she gives it up to Thomas.  

Guess who gives Katie a kidney!  Flo's a match and she anonymously donates her kidney to Katie.  The surgery goes as planned but what will the fallout be?  A dramatic reveal as the Logans find out who's kidney is inside Katie!

Katie needs a kidney.  Sally revels in her ringless engagement.  Ridge and Brooke continue to fight about Thomas and he pays Douglas and Brooke unwelcome visits.  Shawna can't stop thinking about Ridge and wants to help him de-stress from his contentious relationship with Brooke.   An un-repenting Thomas reminds Brooke that he's a Forester and he's had enough of the Logans ruining his life!  Vinny hears some hot gossip about Mr.F.  

Ridges walk of shame after his night spent with Shawna.  Ridge and Brooke try to make up while Shawna dreams of more nights with Ridge.  Flo tries to take Wyatt down memory lane but he only has eyes for Sally (but he doesn't have a ring for her...yet).  Bill worries about Katie as she begins to feel unwell.  

Thomas gets the last of his visits from upset family members before his release from the hospital.  He's not the only one getting released as Ridge agrees to Flo's immunity which makes him a hero in Shawna's eyes.  Brooke and Ridge's relationship is on rocky ground as Ridge gets wasted at Bikini and is put to bed by Shawna.  This week we also learn not to record our podcasts after drinking Grand Sangria late at night.  Please forgive any annoying noises you hear...ehem...from my mother.

Thomas accidentally fell off a cliff, you know... Bridge disagree about what really happened to Thomas. No mo Flo, she's in jail, Shawna's looking for bail.  Wyatt and Sally puker up.  And everyone gets a chance to yell at comatose Thomas.
