Moritz Jenz headed a late debut goal as Celtic were again made to work in Dingwall as they beat Ross County 3-1.
Kyogo Furuhashi gave Celtic the lead in the 48th minute, but Alex Iacovitti leveled with Ross County’s first effort on target 10 minutes later.
Malky Mackay’s side looked like they might frustrate their visitors but Jenz ran in to meet Jota’s inswinging cross and head into the roof of the net from six yards in the 84th minute. Substitute Liel Abada wrapped up a 3-1 win in stoppage-time when he curled home from 18 yards.
Alfredo Morelos returned to action after a five-month absence to score the clinching goal in Rangers’ 2-0 win over Kilmarnock at Ibrox.
Gers lost 2-0 away to Union SG in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier on Tuesday and a labored first half disappointed.
Antonio Colak lifted Rangers’ spirits when he fired in his first goal in the 51st minute and there was more good news for the Gers faithful when Colombia striker Morelos, out since March due to a thigh injury, came off the bench after the hour mark before sealing the win in the 88th minute with a close-range finish.
Stevie May scored a dramatic winner deep into injury time as St Johnstone secured a 2-1 victory over Motherwell at Fir Park.
Jamie Murphy gave the visitors the lead in the first half, before Motherwell thought they had secured a point as Sean Goss’ corner found its way into the net in the 90th minute, with Sondre Solholm Johansen wheeling away in celebration. There was to be an even later twist, however, as May ran on to Ryan McGowan’s header to slide in a cute finish and seal the points.

Aberdeen blew St Mirren away 4-1 at Pittodrie after an early red card for the visitors opened the flood gates. The Dons grabbed three first-half goals thanks to a Bojan Miovski double and one from Leighton Clarkson on the stroke of half-time. Jonah Ayunga scored a consolation for the Saints as Duk rounded off the easy win for Aberdeen in the 87th minute.
Peta Weeks is one of the 3.6 million Australians living with chronic pain.
She was seriously injured when she crashed her motorcycle in 2019 and about 18 months later, her arm was amputated.
“I ended up with five nerves avulsed from the spine, fractured pelvis, coccyx, rib,” Ms Weeks said.
She said since the amputation, the pain has overtaken her life.
“Sometimes it’s overbearing; I can’t handle it,” Ms Weeks said.
“It’ll start in my hand that’s not there, my phantom hand, and go up to the elbow.
“It’s really hard when I’m around friends, they see me cringe and I’ll put my head down and just try to hide it. I try not to show it.”

Ms Weeks has frequent appointments at a specialized pain management clinic on the Gold Coast, where she now practices mindfulness and mind mapping to help cope with the pain.
“I’ve tried a lot of medications; no medications work, they just make your mind foggy,” she said.
“But doing the mindfulness, mind mapping, all the natural things, does actually help. It’s like trying to calm the mind down.”

Darren Doherty is a pain physio specialist at the Gold Coast Interdisciplinary Persistent Pain Centre, where a team of pain specialists, psychiatrists, allied health workers and nurses help Ms Weeks and other chronic pain sufferers.
Mr Doherty is Queensland’s first specialist pain physio and one of five in Australia.
He said their aim is to improve the quality of life for people living with chronic pain, despite the pain.
“Quite often our patients have been on that journey to try and find the fix and that hasn’t occurred,” Mr Doherty said.
“By continuing to go on that journey of that ‘fix’ for their pain, sometimes it can actually hinder more than help.
“So, we refocus — how can we manage pain better, how can we achieve goals so they can engage living again?”
He said a big part of his role was helping patients understand their pain.
“From a physio perspective, we look at helping to educate patients about their pain and giving them a reason behind the symptoms that are occurring for them,” he said.
“We know from the research, when you’re more educated about pain, it can help with the pain.”

Removing stigma and improving accessibility
Mr Doherty highlighted the importance of the Australian College of Physiotherapists adding a pain specialisation.
Chronic Pain Australia vice president Nicolette Ellis said the not-for-profit organization has welcomed specialty and said she would like to see the same in other health professions.
“We see a strong stigmatization from not only health professionals but also the community,” Ms Ellis said.
“I think that’s just really a lack of awareness and understanding of what the condition is.”
Ms Ellis said knowledge and education were key for people living with chronic pain.
“Many people who live with chronic pain are sometimes led to believe it comes from their head,” she said.
“It is a chronic disease and is a condition of the nervous system and immune system.”
She said treatment could be different for all patients and could include medication, topical cream, complementary therapies and supplements.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office says three men were shot Saturday afternoon, and one of those men was shot by a deputy.
There’s an ongoing investigation at Heritage Hotel on 7900 South Orange Blossom Trail near Sand Lake Road.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office gave an update on the shooting.
According to Mark Canty, Orange County Sheriff’s Office undersheriff, they responded to the area Saturday afternoon following calls about a shooting around 12:36 pm
Once on the scene, deputies found one man who had been shot.
Deputies then encountered a second person, a man who was holding a gun.
When he was asked to drop the gun, the man did not comply, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

The deputy who discharged his firearm is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
Canty said the information and calls from residents helped deputies to respond to the scene quickly.
He wants nearby residents to know this:
“They should know that they called us for help. We responded and we were there to help them and stop somebody from killing any more people,” Canty said at a news conference.
The hotel where the shooting happened is located near a lot of stores on Orange Blossom Trail.
Eliseo Duarte was calmly going about his work organizing carts in the parking lot of the store next door to the hotel, Daily Dealz OBT.

“Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,” Duarte said.

There’s nothing more worrisome on the web than not being able to find exactly what you’ve searched for. And to help with issues circulating around that very theme, Google is launching a new feature.
The search engine giant unveiled how its quoted searches would soon be arising in bold. The move is designed to help users witness their most relevant searches first, before getting lost in the wide amount of information scattered across their screens.
The new tweak to the tech giant’s quote searches is sure to add a great degree of effectiveness when searching for a certain result.
But for now, it’s going to be limited to searches on desktops only, although the firm does plan on expanding the initiative further to mobile devices soon.
Hence, the next time users end up making a quoted search on their PC, the term questioned would be highlighted in bold for greater prominence when it arrives in the search results pages.
You can specifically find the bold text in the snippets preview version of the page on Google that the company would portray under every search result.
The company announced the decision via its blog post that was published yesterday. Here, Google elaborated on how it wished to make things simpler for users’ search queries, and for that, they’re bolding their queried searches.
The change will take place after users press on the link and go to visit that particular content in question.
In case you might not be aware, quoted searches are for those occasions when a user wants a particular search result to include a specific term, sentence, or even a phrase. To put it simply, many see it as a great tool that really narrows down your searches when a regular Google search fails to find results that users might be in search of.
In the past, Google prevented itself from highlighting text observed in certain quoted searches. And that was related to the fact that the quoted text could be found in other parts of the page. Hence, it wouldn’t end up producing the most helpful reviews or little snippets of where the information could be found.
Developers agreed and felt that it would just affect the entire readability factor as irrelevant snippets would pop up showing the term in different areas of any web page.
On that note, Google worked hard and finally found a solution, keeping in mind input from its loyal users.
He spoke about all the feedback that he had received regarding its quoted searches. People wanted to see where their quoted terms popped up across a page as it added more value and ease to their search.
This was much more user-friendly and had a great readability factor when compared to a simple summary of what the page was all about.
Now we hope users don’t expect every single term mentioned in their query or quote to be bold on the web page because that’s very difficult.
Google adds that it would also be searched for the highlighted term in the description text, ALT area for text, and the Meta too.
Hence, if you like the sound of that, go ahead and try it out on your desktop computers today.

As I sat there, I couldn’t help but agree with a lot of the local business owners, that the site is ripe for a redevelopment.

But this proposal is not the correct one. I agree with Randwick Mayor Dylan Parker, who says the size and scale of this redevelopment is “totally incompatible with the village character of Coogee”. And Greens councilor Michael Olive who says “we don’t need another supermarket”. And the community group Keep Coogee A Village, which called the proposal “a gross overdevelopment and wildly outside carefully considered planning controls”.
The proposed apartment block is almost double the 12-meter limit for the area, and we don’t need more than 220 underground car parking spaces, I believe.
Nor do I agree with the owners C!NC Hotels which says on its website their plans would “put Coogee up there – in terms of attraction and amenity – with Bondi and Bronte et al”.
Coogee is not pretentiously wanky and overdeveloped like Bondi, nor a string of souless shopfront cafes, like Bronte. It is a community still a little shabby around the edges in parts, but that’s the way we like it. Maybe the developer needs to ask us locals what we want?
I’m not opposed to a public laneway providing a new café and dining precinct, like say Spice Alley in Chippendale, and a space for pop-up food trucks or other vendors.

Or a sensitive redevelopment like Justin Hemmes has done at the north end of the beach with the Coogee Pavilion. The community may even rally around this, much in the way Hemmes did when he moved to live in the beachside suburb while redeveloping the Pav, with great respect for neighboring residents and businesses.
His Merivale group have created destination dining venues such as high-end Mimi’s, tapas bar Una Mas, the rooftop restaurant and ground floor Will’s that are popular with both locals and tourists alike.
I’d welcome a hotel redevelopment like Merivale has done at the Newport Arms – it’s classy and community centered. Or even the conversion of the Coogee Bowlo, which is now the Coogee Beach Club, where the bowling greens are now a beer garden, and a popular watering hole for locals. Even the Legion Club’s new beachfront rooftop bar attracts more locals than the Coogee Bay Hotel does now.

The Coogee Bay Hotel was built in the 1850s, but began life as a school run by George Edson “for young gentlemen.” In 1873, it was converted to a hotel, which it has remained for almost 150 years.
We all agree it could use a spruce up. The new-look Murrah restaurant on the ground floor, attracts only intimate duos or trios in terms of musicians. We have a creative community in Coogee that would welcome a new/reworked music venue and dining options, though more apartments seem like a greedy land grab. Whatever happens, please, not another Bondi or Bronte.

The Wallabies have opened their Rugby Championship campaign with a rousing 41-26 victory over Argentina, dedicating the win to absent skipper Michael Hooper.
Center Len Ikitau crossed for their fifth try five minutes after full-time in Mendoza to snare a bonus point as the Wallabies rallied from a 19-10 halftime deficit and piled on 31 points after the break.
But the win looked to have come at a cost with playmaker Quade Cooper assisted from the field with an apparent ankle injury.
The Australians entered the Test without talismanic captain Hooper, who withdrew from the tour the day before the game for mental health reasons. Stand-in skipper James Slipper said they wanted to make Hooper, who had already flown home to Australia, proud.
“It’s a real proud moment for me and also the team because we really wanted to put in an effort that our fans could be proud of and also our captain Hoops [Hoops],” Slipper said in a post-match interview. “We were thinking about him all day and playing for him.”
The Wallabies lost another of their most experienced players when playmaker Cooper slipped on the turf while in attack seven minutes into the second half. The 34-year-old had already missed the losing England series with a calf injury but appeared to grasp at his ankle in obvious pain, and was later seen in a moon-boot.
But the Wallabies regrouped with Hooper’s replacement Fraser McReight dragged across the line for his first Test try by barn-storming Test debutant Jed Holloway. A penalty try in the 62nd minute awarded by whistle-happy Scottish referee Mike Adamson put the visitors to within two points.
Cooper’s replacement Reece Hodge then banged over a long-range penalty while Argentina lock Matias Alemanno was yellow-carded, for the Wallabies to take the lead, 27-26, for the first time in the match. They extended that in the 70th minute when hooker Folau Fainga’a, in his best performance in the gold jersey, picked up the ball off the back of a maul and charged over, with Hodge adding the extras.
The opening half was a frustrating stop-start affair with a 10-3 penalty count against the Wallabies. The Australians dominated possession and territory but errors and poor discipline stopped them from maximizing their opportunities.
Argentina, who are coached by former Wallabies mentor Michael Cheika, got off to their best possible start with Pablo Matera crossing in the sixth minute and got out to a 13-3 lead. The Wallabies countered through winger Jordan Petaia but kept the home side in the game with penalties through sharp-shooter Emiliano Boffelli.
The Australians got on the right side of Adamson in the second half, while the Pumas own discipline fell apart as they incurred 11 second-half penalties which cruelled their cause.
Fans across Australia and around the world have paid tribute to The Seekers lead singer Judith Durham, remembering her as an ‘Australian icon’ with the ‘voice of an angel’ after her death on Friday, aged 79.
Her Seekers’ bandmates, Athol Guy, Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger, said their lives had been changed forever by losing “our treasured lifelong friend and shining star.”
“Her struggle was intense and heroic, never complaining of her destiny and fully accepting its conclusion. Her magnificent musical legacy Keith, Bruce and I are so blessed to share,” Athol Guy said in a statement.
Best known for their unique blend of harmonies and Durham’s angelic voice, The Seekers were unlike anything of their time.
They were the trailblazers of Australian music in the 1960s, knocking heavy hitters such as the Beatles off the top of the charts in the UK and taking the US by storm.
From Melbourne cafes to the world stage
In 1962, an 18-year-old Durham met Athol Guy. He convinced her to sing acoustic folk music in a Melbourne cafe with Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley. They became The Seekers.
After two years playing in pubs, the band was offered a summer season in the UK — it was “the last thing we expected to happen.”
“I had to shock mum and dad and say, ‘I’m not actually going to come back’,” she said.
The group headed to England, assuming it would be a quick trip.
“Little did we know that our first record, six months later, was going to go to number one all around the world,” she said.
“We weren’t aiming at being a pop star act, we were a folk group…so that was our niche.”

Outselling the Beatles, Rolling Stones
The next few years brought worldwide acclaim for The Seekers, with more albums and tours, and a string of hits at a time when they were competing with the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
“The true perspective that the Seekers were outselling the Beatles, outselling the Rolling Stones… I didn’t understand the enormity of that. Now I do,” she said in 2016.
The Seekers were the first Australian band to reach number one in the US and the UK, with songs Georgy Girl and I’ll Never Find Another You.
Georgy Girl was even nominated for an Academy Award for best original song.
They sold more than 50 million records worldwide and had six top-10 hits during 1965 and 1966.
Durham said she was very self-conscious at the time of the band’s greatest success.
“People thought I was hip and cool and people used to emulate my style of dressing, but I used to do it to disguise my weight,” she said.
“I didn’t realize there were lots and lots of other women going through the same thing. I thought I was the only one.”
Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Despite that success, the band broke up in 1968, having agreed that if anyone wanted to leave, they had to give six months’ notice.
Durham wanted to spread her wings and try her hand at opera.
She admitted being nervous about embarking on a solo career, but went on to perform to standing ovations as an international solo artist.
Durham’s life after The Seekers
Personal tragedy was never too far away from Judith Durham.
In 1990, she and her husband Ron Edgeworth were in a car accident — the driver of the other vehicle died at the scene.
Four years later, Edgeworth died of motor neuron disease and Duhram spent many years after raising awareness about the disease.
“I wanted to see if there was a way [to] raise awareness [which] would not only help achieve greater donations, because people would realize this is catastrophic, but of course in the hope of finding a cure,” she said.
Durham was also once stalked by a woman who sent her dozens of doormats through the post.
Her work on behalf of charitable groups was recognized in 2015, when she was named Victorian of the Year for her work with a number of women’s, Indigenous and disability support groups and as patron of the Motor Neurone Disease Association of Australia.
The Seekers were also individually honored as Officers of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours of June 2014.
In 2013, Judith Durham reunited with The Seekers for a 50th anniversary tour, but it was cut short after she suffered a brain haemorrhage.
She spent six weeks in intensive rehabilitation at a Melbourne hospital before returning to the stage to continue the tour.
Durham said it was a “miracle” that the musical Georgy Girl, which told the story of The Seekers, made it to the stage in 2015, while she was still alive.
“I’m thrilled to bits that it’s happening. It’s very special the way it’s all done, beautiful production and everything,” she said.

“It’s not 100 per cent true to life, but that’s important for the entertainment value.”
She said watching her life on stage was overwhelming in many ways.
“Sometimes I think ‘oh surely, it wasn’t that tragic’, but everyone says ‘Oh my God, what you’ve gone through’,” Durham said.
“It’s a funny one, I belittle all the things in my life, I’ve had a philosophy in life that carries me through those things.
Despite her many years of success, Durham never thought of herself as a pop star, but appreciated the love of her fans.
The fire at a Pennsylvania house that killed 10 people from the same family, including three children, may have started on the front porch of the Nescopeck home, according to an official.
A preliminary investigation suggested that the blaze erupted on the porch around 2:30 am Friday, according to Luzerne County District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce.
“The information I have is that the fire started and progressed very quickly, making it very difficult to get out,” he said.
Shannon Daubert, 45, died in the blaze.FacebookLaura Daubert, 47, was also killed.
The victims have been identified as Dale Baker, 19; StarBaker, 22; David Daubert Sr., 79; Brian Daubert, 42; Shannon Daubert, 45; Laura Daubert, 47; and Marian Slusser, 54.
The names of the youngest victims, two boys ages 5 and 6 and a 7-year-old girl, were not officially released, but a GoFundMe identified the 6-year-old as Aiden Michael James Daubert.
Autopsies were planned for this weekend.

There were 13 dogs in the two-story house as well. The fate of the animals was not clear.
Dale Baker, a 2021 graduate of Berwick Senior High School, was, like his parents, a volunteer firefighter for Nescopeck, which is about 50 miles southwest of Scranton.
Just three adults were able to escape the fire, which completed destroyed the house. A state police investigation into the cause is underway.
The tragedy was compounded when one of the responding volunteer firefighters pulling up to the blaze, Harold Baker, realized that the fire was at the home of his relatives and his son and daughter and grandchildren, among other family members, were inside.
The children were visiting their aunt and uncle who owned the home, Baker said.
“All I wanted to do was go in there and get these people, my family. That’s all that I was thinking about, getting in to them,” Baker told The Associated Press.
With a Samsung event looming next week, you’ll need to know how to watch the Samsung Unpacked live stream to stay on top of all the products likely to be unveiled during the August 2022 Galaxy Unpacked. Fortunately, you’ve got plenty of options for seeing Samsung’s latest devices in real time.
The Unpacked event next Wednesday (August 10) looks to feature a packed agenda, with new foldable devices leading the way. Samsung has already confirmed as much, with president and head of mobile TM Roh promising “to show you the potential of our new Samsung Galaxy foldables as the ultimate tool for both productivity and self-expression.” That likely means new versions of the Flip and Fold devices that rank among the best foldable phones around.
However, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 likely won’t be the only products to get some time in the spotlight at Unpacked. If past Samsung events are anything to go by, other devices from smartwatches to wireless earbuds could be in the mix for the August 10 gathering.
You don’t have to miss a minute with our guide on how to watch the Samsung Unpacked live stream, which also features a look at the products most likely to appear during the showcase, based on the rumors we’ve heard.
August 2022 Samsung Unpacked event: When is it
Samsung’s August 2022 Galaxy Unpacked event is slated for Wednesday, August 10. The event begins at 10 am ET / 7 am PT / 3 pm BST. Like recent Samsung events, this is a virtual event, so the live stream is the only way to watch it.
August 2022 Samsung Unpacked event: Where to watch the live stream
A Samsung Unpacked live stream is already available at YouTube (opens in new tab). You can set a notification at YouTube to be reminded when the stream goes live. (Typically, that will happen the day of the event.) We’ve also embedded the Samsung Unpacked live stream below.
In addition, Samsung plans to stream its Unpacked event on its own website (opens in new tab) if you don’t want to watch through YouTube.
August 2022 Samsung Unpacked event: What to expect
Based on what Samsung’s already told us and the company’s recent history of August Unpacked events, we expect the focus of the August 10 edition to be on foldable phones. Specifically, Samsung is all but certain to introduce new versions of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, both of which debuted at the same Unpacked event a year ago. Other products figure to be in the mix as well.
Galaxy ZFold 4: Samsung’s most expensive phone sounds like it’s getting some noteworthy, though not revolutionary changes. The top Galaxy Z Fold 4 rumors point to the foldable device getting a new design with a smaller hinge that should make the phone more portable and potentially more durable; Samsung could also correct the Galaxy Z Fold’s biggest aesthetic flaw, a visible crease where the phone folds in two. Tipster Evan Blass just leaked a whole host of images of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 that show the potential color variants of the phones, as well as, what could be the final designs.

We’ve also heard that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is in line to feature the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, currently Qualcomm’s fastest chipset and one we’ve already seen in phones like the OnePlus 10T and Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro.
We’re interested to see if Samsung can improve the battery life with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, as that’s been one of the lingering issues with foldable phones that prevent them from becoming more mainstream devices. We’re eager to find out the price, too. At $1,799 the Galaxy Z Fold 3 costs less than its predecessor, but it’s still a lot for many people to pay for a mobile device — even one that can fold into a tablet-sized screen.
Galaxy ZFlip 4: Samsung’s other foldable is the most popular one, largely because Samsung dropped the price of last year’s version to less than $1,000. It may be too much to ask for an additional price cut, so we’d be happy if the Galaxy Z Fold 4 can stick with that $999 starting price.

Like the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the Flip is rumored to be getting a new hinge, plus a Snapdragon 8 plus Gen 1 chipset. Other Galaxy Z Flip 4 rumors point to a larger cover display and better battery life. That latter improvement would be particularly welcome in light of the Z Flip 3’s struggles with longevity.
Galaxy Watch 5: Samsung showed off the Galaxy Watch 4 at last year’s Unpacked event in August. So why not use this year’s foldable phone launch for a smartwatch sequel? The Galaxy Watch 5 is likely to join the Flip and Fold as a successor to the popular Samsung product — so popular, in fact, that we could see a Pro version of the Samsung watch.
In addition to a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, the top Galaxy Watch 5 rumors include the end of the watch’s rotating bezel, the addition of a built-in battery sensor and longer battery life thanks to a bigger power pack. It’s all part of Samsung’s strategy to build a watch that gives the Apple Watch a run for the title of best smartwatch.
Galaxy Buds Pro 2: Unpacked 2021 also saw new earbuds — the Galaxy Buds 2, to be specific. Now that it’s been about 18 months since the release of the original Galaxy Buds Pro, it seems like now’s the time for a sequel — especially with the Pixel Buds Pro now out and the AirPods Pro 2 reportedly on the way next month.
Apart from new color options, we haven’t heard many Galaxy Buds Pro 2 rumours. The wireless earbuds could be in line for a modest redesign, and we might see features like improved battery performance and support for 24-bit audio as a way for Samsung to make its Pro buds stand out.
A new Galaxy Book or Galaxy tablet: Samsung’s not above showing tablets or laptops at product launches, though the latter tend to get their own event. Plus, Samsung’s already been busy on that front this year. So far, we’ve already seen the Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, Galaxy Book 2 and Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360. That doesn’t leave much room for any other announcements.
On the Forrester jet, Finn, Steffy and Taylor laugh as Finn says the kids are asleep and Ridge is pinned under them, also asleep. As Steffy and Finn kiss, Taylor enthuses that she is so happy — this is a milestone for their family! As the flight continues, Taylor relives the kiss with Ridge in her mind and smiles. Steffy notices and questions her.
At Brooke’s place, she’s eager to see Ridge and gushes to Hope that he must be overjoyed. Talk turns to Sheila still being out there, and Brooke vows not to let that consume her. Hope asks if Ridge ever said anything about the selfie she posted. “It shouldn’t be a big deal.” Brooke only spoke to him once, but he was pre-occupied and rushed. Hope apologizes again as Deacon walks in and asks, “Sorry about what?” Brooke gawps, “Seriously?!” He’s just walked into her house again. Deacon saucily responds that he heard through the grapevine (he points at Hope) Ridge was on a plane and took the opportunity to come and see his two favorite ladies of him.
At Carter’s place, he and Quinn are in bed, grinning from ear-to-ear. She breathes, “Ah, this is the life,” and wants to make a pact. He’s in, no matter what it is. Quinn thinks they need to make it a tradition to play hooky from work, at least once a month, and spend the day in bed. “We need to celebrate us.” They kiss. Carter tells Quinn how amazing she looks in her bed. She purrs that he looks pretty amazing himself. Carter tried giving up on her, but it wasn’t possible. Quinn’s so proud she gets to love him.

Carter recaps that Quinn was committed to Eric, and he tried to move on. “I still can’t believe you’re here.” Quinn assures him she’s not going anywhere. Talk turns to Ridge — Carter spoke to him last night and he’s never heard his friend from him sound happier. Quinn does not want Ridge to talk in the bed and he can think of another way to pass the time. They start making love.
At Brooke’s place, Deacon declares that he feels grounded in something good when he’s with Hope and Brooke — he’d never come around when Ridge was there. Brooke feels like she’s sneaking around behind her husband’s back and wonders if she’s over-reacting. Hope thinks she may be paranoid because of the selfie. Deacon asks why she took it down and guesses Brooke was afraid of hurting Ridge’s delicate sensibilities from her. Brooke wants to show her husband that she’s dedicated to him, and when he comes home, Deacon can’t be there. Deacon agrees.
