His behavior isn't normal. I think deep down she realizes it, but she is, as always, lying to herself when it comes to her baby boy. She had to force him to welcome his younger brother in town. Seriously? A middle aged man that has to be taught politeness and hospitality by his mommy? He didn't even reach out to RJ first (as the older brother he should). RJ had to reach out first... Even after everything Thomas did to his mother. He still isn't fine and possibly he never will be. How on earth would he change after few therapy sessions? It's unrealistic. Things like that take years. This guy doesn't have anxiety or depression... He is a narcissistic sociopath. I always thought that he genuinely loved his mother despite not giving a damn about his father's feelings, but after today's episode I am pretty sure that he doesn't really love Taylor either. He wants to force a negative reaction out of her so she would fight with Brooke again. It's never about love with this guy... It's always about his ego. He wants Taylor to win because it's HIS mom, an extension of himself...If she wins, he wins. Even if it means that she will be a rebound once more. Even if it means that she will have to suffer and humiliate herself in the process. He knows that his dad left his mom at the altar 3 times since 2008. He was there each time... And each time it took scheming and an argument with Brooke. Even an complete idiot would know that Ridge prefers to be with Brooke now and he knows that too... That's why he believes that Ridge and Brooke's one son can bring them back together when Taylor and Ridge's two kids and manipulations couldn't. Rick was pretty toxic, but at least he didn't want his mom to be on her knees for Ridge. Why? Because he really does love her. I just wish Hope could hear how Thomas spoke about RJ. Maybe it would open her eyes because she acts like she has amnesia right now.

You're expecting too much from Taylor. After her lack of judgement about Sheila, it's hard to take her character seriously. And how is she supposed to help Thomas after she went along with his CPS crap? A good mother would have scolded him for what he did and revealed the truth immediately. But she kept his secret, it means she condoned his evil behavior.

Hope has had amnesia for years about Thomas. The way he talks about RJ now is no big deal. Thomas raised his voice and screamed that Beth is dead and Hope must get over it and forget about Beth forever. If she can overlook this kind of comment, I doubt Thomas bad-mouthing RJ will make a difference.

Hope always forgives people. Even her biggest bully Steffy. She forgave Bill too. So I get why she forgave that psycho, but she never had fantasies about him before. Even when he wanted her all those years since 2012. She cringed when they were married and he tried to make love to her. It makes zero sense.

This isn't Logans vs Spencer. Not sure where that comes from. It is Logans vs Ridge's "real family", per the Tridge Mafia.

Taylor needs to refrain in talking about her relationship with Ridge with her son. She is supposed to be the adult. Thomas is the child even if he's an adult. Parents shouldn't discuss personal adult stuff with their kids no matter how old they are.
Taylor is feeding into his mental instability by even talking about this. She's supposed to be a WRP but she's too blind and enabling to see it. The way she is constantly hovering over Thomas at FC is troubling.

But that's how Taylor operates. She indirectly recruits her kids to do her dirty work for her this way while keeping her hands clean. And then when parent trap 2.0 will take place she will act all wide eyed and innocent and wonder why her kids are such monsters who would go out of their way to break up someone's marriage. She's been this way since she used Stephanie for the same purpose.
