B&B Week of April 19, 2010
Monday
Upon finding her lifeless mother in the pool, Donna screamed, which brought Brooke, Eric and Stephen running. When they found Donna, she was drenched from dragging Beth out of the pool and was frantically trying to give her CPR. While a horrified Stephen assisted, Eric called 911. Stephanie showed up and was shocked to see what was happening. She looked over to the pool and saw Beth's cherished lace lying under the surface where she had thrown it. As sirens of the arriving paramedics blared, an anguished Brooke asked Eric how such an accident happened. No one had any answers as Stephanie silently hung back.
Katie expressed her gratitude to Bill for allowing her mother to move in with them. He warned that once Beth moves in, Katie will be in demand 24/7 but she assured she could handle it. In fact, she considered this chance to take care of her mother as an honor. "I just want to be there for her," Katie cried. She became worried when her heart suddenly felt empty, as if Beth is "already gone." Katie forlornly looked at photos of her mother and recalled when Stephen revealed the progression of her Alzheimer's disease. Katie told Bill that all she wanted was Beth to have some peace.
The paramedics kept working on Beth but couldn't get a pulse. As the terrified Logans watched, Beth was pronounced dead. Brooke and Donna broke down in hysterical sobs as their father kneeled at Beth's side and wept. Later, they all retreated to the house where they tried to figure out what happened. Stephanie then confessed that she was with Beth at the pool, where they argued. Steph also revealed that she had thrown Beth's lace into the pool and walked away. As everyone stared with disbelief and anger, Stephanie insisted that she never intended for this tragedy to happen.
Tuesday
Stephanie assured the shell-shocked Logans that she hadn't wanted to start an argument and had just walked away. "It's not because of me!" she insisted of Beth's death. In Malibu, Katie sensed that something was deeply wrong with her family and when she and Bill finally turned on their phones, Donna called to tell her that they'd lost their mother. At Forrester, Rick listened to Hope and Marcus cracking up about the Hope For The Future campaign. Ashen, he was forced to tell his sister and cousin that their grandmother had drowned. The trio was crushed and bewildered, and when Oliver appeared, Hope went into his arms. She vented to her boyfriend about not spending enough time with Beth at the end and he held her close.
Back at the house, Brooke couldn't reach Ridge and didn't know how to tell RJ, who was on a school trip. When a frantic Katie arrived with Bill, Donna told them, in no uncertain terms, that Stephanie had caused Beth's death. "You killed our mother!" she insisted, swearing she'd see Stephanie in jail. Stephanie, outraged, said she would never harm Beth. "If I was going to kill anybody you...or your nutty sister!" she said to Donna. Eric noted Stephanie wasn't really helping her case. Stephanie continued to insist she wasn't responsible and Eric rose to her defense, telling Donna she wasn't thinking clearly and they shouldn't accuse an innocent woman of murder. He hugged his hysterical wife, trying to calm her. Meanwhile, Stephanie went back to the guest house, shaken, and went over the events of the evening. Brooke (the most coherent of the sisters) soon showed up and Stephanie once again pled her case, noting that Donna is being irrational. At the house, Donna replayed the horror of finding Beth in the pool and told Eric she's pressing charges. Eric tried to get through to her, stressing he doesn't believe Stephanie could drown Beth. Donna's tears turned to anger. She needed justice, and she needed him to say Stephanie was responsible. He couldn't! Overcome, she rose to leave. "Let me go!" she cried, as Eric tried to pull her close. She touched his face, told him she'd always love him, and ran out. Later, Eric reassured Stephanie he didn't blame her for what happened to Beth, and they embraced.
Wednesday
When Lt. Baker went to see Eric and Stephanie, she worried that Donna had called the police and accused her of murdering Beth, and asked if there was going to be an investigation. "I believe it's already been concluded," Baker said. Certain that Donna would return to Eric, Stephanie asked if there was anything she could get for him. He wanted her to stay, responded Eric, taking her hand and kissing it.
Stephanie called Pam and informed her she was spending the night. "Welcome home, Steph," said Pam with a knowing smile. Eric and Stephanie drank to Beth, then Eric wanted to toast first and second love and "love indestructible." Sitting next to Eric as he played the piano, Stephanie recalled happy moments with her ex, who thanked her for keeping him company.
Bill brought Donna to his house. "I don't know where I live now," Donna sobbed. Bill assured her that she could stay as long as she wanted, adding that he was sure she would be able to patch things up with Eric. Donna wondered if something Stephanie would pay for causing Beth’s drowning, but Bill doubted it because there were no witnesses. He’d help her press charges, offered Bill, adding that it was appalling that Eric had brought Stephanie into their home. Although Donna didn't know what crime she could accuse Stephanie of, she was certain though, that if it wasn't for Stephanie, "My mother would be alive." Feeling all alone, Donna said she would have been faithful to Eric for all their lives. Through tears, Donna made it clear that she didn't blame Eric for what happened. But Bill pointed out, "He'll say yes to anything," hoping Donna would start living a life on her own terms.
As Katie, Brooke and Stephen waited for the body to arrive at the morgue, Katie kept hoping it there’d been some terrible mistake. "How did this happen?" Katie wept as she and her family looked at Beth’s body. Stephen assured her, "We're still here for each other," and blamed himself for not taking Beth to her doctor. He remembered the moment when loving Beth included caretaking. "She needed me," he noted sadly, and "this time I was ready."
Thursday
Stephanie acted like the lady of the manor as she poured coffee for Eric. He wondered about the state of his marriage and she assured that Donna was in good company with her sisters. Steph noted that Donna will call Eric when she needs him. After announcing that she had errands to run, Stephanie left.
At Bill's house, Donna was still traumatized by finding her mother in the
pool. Katie tried to comfort her sister. Marcus, Brooke, Hope, Rick and Bridget showed up and asked about Eric's whereabouts. Donna explained that she’d left him the night before after he defended Stephanie. Brooke assured that Eric truly loves Donna. She decided to visit her husband. After Donna left, everyone looked through family photos and remembered Beth. Brooke recalled how their mother taught them to sacrifice, work hard and always stick together as a family.
When Donna returned to the Forrester estate, Eric seemed relieved and happy to see his wife. They hugged warmly and he apologized for the way he handled things. Eric explained how special Beth was to him and Donna admitted that she shouldn't have left him all alone. "No more talk about mistakes," Eric urged. Donna asked where they stood in their relationship but before Eric could answer, Stephanie showed up. Donna came positively unglued, ranting that Stephanie's presence was not only disrespectful to their marriage but also to her mother's memory. Stephanie unwisely tried to interject and Donna ordered her to butt out, then issued an ultimatum: If Eric wanted her to stay, he’d have to cut Stephanie out of his life for good.
Friday
After Eric refused to cut Stephanie out of his life for Donna, Bill barged into the Forrester estate and defended Donna, demanding that Eric give her some respect by forcing Stephanie to leave the property. Donna continued to blame Stephanie for Beth's death, while Stephanie maintained her innocence and said she didn't know Beth couldn't swim. Bill berated Eric for not being there for Donna.
At Pam, Thomas and Thorne discussed the accident, Pam explained how Beth's death happened and how tough it must've been on everybody there, then pointed out the silver lining, saying that the tragedy brought Stephanie and Eric together. "Which is the way it should be," she added. They went over to the Forrester manse, where Pam approached her sis and quipped, "So when you movin' in?" Eric thanked his family for their support.
Steffy went to see Oliver and was eager to "get down to business"‹ happy that her grandparents are getting back together. She wanted to, ahem, celebrate with Oliver, who was stunned that she wanted to have blackmail sex with him. She continued to try to seduce him by stripping down but he turned her away, citing his devotion to Hope. Still, they shared a charged moment and she kissed him on the way out.
Bill later consoled an emotional Donna, urging her to give her mother a proper sendoff and not worry about Eric. Bill claimed that Eric used Donna, who admitted there wasn't a prenup agreement involved in their marriage. Bill suggested she take him to court to make up for all the suffering the Forresters have caused her. She wrestled with the decision but finally agreed that Bill is right.
