Jackie arrived at the mansion to see a distraught Nick before her. She got emotional when he didn't want to talk to her and stated that she never wanted him to find out that she had sex for money in the past. Of course she regretted it. Nick just shook his head. "I'm sorry; I'm never going to be able to look at you the same way," he sighed. Jackie was heartbroken and left.

As the Forresters gathered for New Year's, they all toasted to good times in 2007. However, Stephanie could see how depressed Eric was and almost opened her trap about the possibility of getting Forrester Creations back, but Taylor stopped her in time. After Nick's traumatic conversation with his mother, he called his therapist (a.k.a. Taylor) and requested a house call. Thorne was reluctant to let his lady love go, but Taylor was persistent. As she was walking out the door, Stephanie pulled her aside and encouraged her to "Get Nick to promise to sell us the company — tonight!"

Later, Felicia opened up to Eric about her fears regarding Dante. Ridge and Brooke made a New Year's resolution to never let anyone or anything separate them ever again. (Good luck with that one, kids.) They sealed it with a kiss and then Thorne whined about not being able to kiss his fiancée. Meanwhile, his fiancée arrived at Nick's home to begin her "work." As the Forresters rang in the New Year with hugs and promises for 2007, Nick shocked Taylor by taking their patient/doctor relationship to the next level and ringing in her New Year with a big fat wet one.

Jackie admitted to Nick that she slept with Jerry Kramer — and all the others. "Maybe I was lonely," Jackie defended. "And yes, I did it for the money." Then she recalled that night — like all the other nights — when she'd put Nick to bed and then she'd wait for Jerry to come back. He'd sleep with her, call her elegant and then push money into her hand. "It didn't seem so wrong, so I took it," Jackie recalled. Nick railed and called her a spoiled English woman. It got uglier when Jackie told how Jerry then pimped her out. "You didn't sell yourself — you sold me," Nick hissed. A chill shot through her when he whipped out the "whore" word. "I can't do this anymore tonight," she said, shaking her head, utterly defeated.

"I knew she was a tramp, but my God!" Stephanie howled, after overhearing Taylor tell her tape recorder that Jackie was a hooker. "They blackmailed us, and what's good for the goose..." Steph threatened. "You're not saying a word," Taylor yelled. "This is an eye for an eye," Stephanie persisted. "They stole my husband's work! Now tell me, who is Capt. Kramer?" Taylor: "One word and any relationship you and I had is over."

Taylor left and went to Nick's boat. He let her know that he already confronted his mother. Speaking of Jackie, she ran to Taylor's office and ran right into Stephanie. "Hard times are a-coming, Missy," Stephanie warned.

EOE, Nick broke down in Taylor's arms.

Nick remembered that his mother was a whore (his word). "Why am I just remembering this now?" he asked Dr. Taylor. "You were just a child," she responded (the bill is in the mail!). Nick thanked Taylor, "because I gotta believe it's better to know who you are." Taylor went back to her office and talked into her tape recorder, while Nick stayed on his boat. Stephanie overheard Taylor talking. "My god, Jacqueline was a whore!" Stephanie gasped, as a stunned Taylor turned around and realized mama Forrester heard everything. Oops!

Jackie got into it again with Stephanie. When Stephanie called her a slut, Jackie tried to slap her, but Steph grabbed her well-manicured hand first. Jackie left to see Nick. "You're not acting like yourself, Nickie," Jackie observed. When she suggested her get back to work, he brought up how poor they were growing up — and what they did to make ends meet. "Tell me about Capt. Kramer," Nick asked. "Was he good to you?" "Yeah, he was kind," Jackie answered. "He tried to help us." Nick wouldn't let her get out of it. "This is really unfair what you're doing to me," Jackie cried. "I want you to say what you have to say, because it's gotta be better than the word (see above) I'm holding back", Nick pressed.

Your move, Jackie.

Happy Holidays!
