At Forrester Originals, Rick informed Ashley that Brooke was modeling the showstopper. Ashley was annoyed at the thought that Ridge ran over to watch Brooke model lingerie when they are supposed to be planning their wedding. Meanwhile, over at Forrester Creations, Ridge comforted Brooke in Nick's office, as she beat herself up for her flashback to Andy during the fashion show. "I could smell his cologne as if the whole thing was happening again," cried an exasperated Brooke, as Ridge hugged and comforted her. A determined Brooke wanted to visit the press but Ridge told her it would be too much and not to push herself. Nick flew into the office demanding to know what happened. Once Brooke explained she couldn't go through with it, Nick understood what she meant and his mood softened. "Just take care of yourself," Nick offered. Jackie burst in next, all upset and blaming Ridge for sabotaging their fashion show. Nick told Jackie that Brooke would not be meeting the press and asked Jackie to handle them. Brooke apologized to Nick for blowing things. "This isn't your fault," Nick said. Brooke asked Ridge to take her home. Ridge said he'd take her home but said they had to make a pit stop first, and took her to see a counselor at the rape crisis center. While in the waiting room Ridge took a call from Ashley, who expressed her annoyance at Ridge for running off to be with Brooke. Before he could explain himself, Ashley said she was going to end the conversation before she said something she'd regret. The counselor then called Brooke into her office. Brooke asked if Ridge could stay during her session and the counselor told Brooke whatever made her feel most comfortable. In her session, Brooke recounted the salient points of her rape, and questioned whether her role as a lingerie model caused her to deserve what happened, as Andy suggested to her. The counselor firmly rejected the idea, and insisted that no woman ever deserves to be raped. The counselor further assuaged Brooke's guilt for taking a shower and ruining any evidence against her attacked by reassuring her that she responded naturally. After offering some further words of comfort, the counselor excused herself to get some appropriate literature for her. Ridge expressed the disgust he felt for his mother's role in what happened. Brooke told Ridge not to beat himself up over what his mother did. Ridge promised to be with Brooke every step of the way. "Soon you'll be back to your old silly self," Ridge reassured Brooke, who wondered if she'll ever be able to handle a man's touch again. Ridge sweetly kissed her on the lips and whispered, "I'm sure."

Donna paid Eric a visit and explained how the fashion show turned into a fiasco. She expressed her worry over Brooke and asked rhetorically how Stephanie could something like that to Brooke. Donna expressed her rage at Stephanie. Eric cautioned that violence solves nothing. Donna agreed, but suggested that if Stephanie were held accountable for her actions people like Brooke and Eric wouldn't be suffering from her machinations. Donna suggested that maybe it's time for Eric to undo the damage Stephanie caused him by getting his company back. Eric questioned Donna's loyalty since she works for Nick. He asked her if she's more interested in helping him or getting back at Stephanie. Donna coyly told Eric it's because of his dimple. "It's cute as hell, and so are you," she cooed. She then told Eric she was going to help him learn how to have fun again. She partially disrobed to show off Clarke's design, to prove how much they need him. Eric helped her disrobe further as they continue to flirt with each other and began to kiss.
