Well, that was certainly embarrassing. The last thing I want to watch is two 50ish women fighting over a worthless waffle. Nor do I want to see them butting into their grown ass children's lives, however the agendas are so divergent between them, that I find myself annoyed with Brooke, but still supporting her.
Brooke's concerns are clearly aimed at Douglas, and his welfare, and of course she is worried about Hope. All parents worry about their children, but in Hope's case I can see why Brooke would be extra cautious. Hope already had one baby snatched from her and spent a year believing that child was dead. And who was responsible for that? The very same people who are now clamoring to have Douglas ripped from her life.
Brooke completely outclassed Taylor in round 1 by not stooping to Taylor's level. Brooke came off as an adult with serious concerns, and valid arguments, while Taylor came off as a juvenile sixteen year old, who prances around in mommy's disco days hand offs, while making jabs at Brooke, and the past Taylor needs Brooke to have. Talking about all the things Brooke has done to Ridge? What would all those be again? Brooke has never slept with another man while married to Ridge. She has kissed a few for sure, but really, when compared to Ridge's dalliances with Quinn, Shauna and most recently Taylor, they pale in comparison. And Taylor needs to self reflect a bit and remember two names: James and Hector. So, Brooke has a family with Eric? Isn't that what most married couples do? OH WAIT! was she tying to look down her boney nose at Brooke because she has had multiple marriages? Hmmmmm.......has Taylor forgotten about Nick and Whip? Taylor also conveniently forgets about her short romance with Eric while he was married to Stephanie.
Yes, there was no sex, but I assure you if it had been Brooke, Taylor would have been screaming to the rafters about Brooke having an affair and sleeping with Eric.

Lol … surely bc he never happened (like Steffy calling Bill over )
Stephanie and Eric were not married nor even an item when he pursued Taylor.
Eric denied he would ever consider reuniting with his ex. When Taylor found them sleeping together she understood Stephanie still had a slight chance and back off

Yes, after going back and checking the timeline, Eric and Stephanie were not married. However, the romance did happen, and Taylor was supposed to be Stephanie's dear, devoted friend.

I know they weren’t married I was watching
Yes Taylor was her friend, that’s why she back off contrary to Lauren

Additionally, anytime Eric stepped out on Stephanie, be it Brooke, Sheila, Lauren, Donna, Jackie; he always told them he would never go back to Stephanie, yet that is always what he did. When Taylor found them together she realized that and decided to cut her losses before Stephanie found out about her betrayal of their friendship.

No. Taylor backed off to give Stephanie a little chance
Eric was still interested in Taylor and told her he wouldn’t return to Stephanie (and didn’t btw)
Taylor refused out of loyalty
That’s a huge difference between Taylor and Brooke :loyalty towards friends and family

Brain and logic is another : beside her ridiculous empty threats, Brooke looked totally stupid comparing Douglas losing Caroline and Hope for exemple

Taylor showed loyalty to Stephanie by having a relationship with Eric, the love of Stephanie's life? I'm not sure how that translates. And let's take a close look at family loyalty. How about Taylor's relationship with Rick, the love of Phoebe's life? Despite knowing how Phoebe felt about Rick, she still engaged in a relationship with Rick. How's exactly is that loyalty?
