Brooke goes to Laura's grave and runs into Tom there. She then confronts Tad and they break up. Some of the best work that Julia Barr did, in my opinion :).
Julia did excellent work in this story from start to finish. I love Tom and Brooke's friendship. Brooke getting in Tad's face was awesome. From the quip about taking all the women to Nexus to saying that it was Junior who blew the whistle to bringing up his hypocrisy re: Willow Lake and Edmund. Rock on. Tad's excuses were so weak. I loved Brooke's justified bitterness. Loved how she played the pregnancy secret close to her vest.
It was Tad's fault that Brooke lost her baby. He was gonna sue her for custody and try to raise the child with that southern hick Dixie. You don't take away a mother's child just to replace the mother because you have issues with her. Tad shouldn't have married Brooke to begin with. He got himself in his own mess. And it was Dixie's turn to laugh in '96 when Tad hit the sheets with Liza! What goes around sure comes around!
