I believe that in Season 5 Mark still wanted to hint at the B/L/P triangle and for this he needed Brooke single. Also I am 100 % sure that he had always wanted to have this flashback episode where everyone thinks that Lucas proposed to Brooke. This was another reason why he wanted her single.

I think he thought that was the best way to keep the BL fans watching the show around that time but he didn't wrap his head around how much more that would piss them when it was revealed it was fake (but tbf, there was nothing romantic about their scenes). It helped that the actor who was playing Owen couldn't come back after the writers strike and that he would have also had an chance to tear down Luke's character even more.
