"I shouldn't have kissed you," Eric declared to Donna, but she wasn't as concerned about the ramifications of their smooch. They heard a car pull up and Donna wondered if it could be Stephanie coming home to face the music. Ms. Logan trotted off and Felicia showed up to announce that she's going to Seattle to meet up with Constantine, who was on a concert tour. Eric gladly offered to watch his grandson and Felicia asked where her mother could be. Eric said he had no idea and was "very disillusioned" about his marriage. Felicia reminded Pop that he and Stephanie always made up before and cautioned him not to make "any hasty decisions."

Rick returned to the lab and reminded Ashley that Brooke will always be in Ridge's life. An exasperated Ash wanted to ignore his warnings but decided to follow up with a visit to Ridge and headed out.

As Donna tried to sneak through the Forrester living room, she encountered a messenger at the front door. She forged Felicia's signature and accepted a letter from Stephanie. Donna thought about throwing the letter into the burning fireplace, but she waited for Eric to show and gave it to him. Donna was surprised when he wasn't interested in reading it and the air was suddenly charged with sexual tension. "Do you want me to go?" she asked. Eric said no and they began kissing passionately.

Ridge greeted Brooke as she showed up at his house for dinner. They sat down and Ridge announced their evening was about "our son and our future." Brooke asked for a second chance and promised "you won't regret it." Ridge worried about having the rug pulled out from under his world again — Brooke assured that if they reconciled, they would be stronger than ever. Before Ridge could respond, the caterer appeared and asked for his assistance in the kitchen. After Ridge left the room, his cell phone went off and Brooke saw that it was Ashley calling. Brooke then noticed a jewelry box and opened it to find a diamond engagement ring. She excitedly slipped it on, just as Ridge returned. "It's so beautiful, I love it!" she exclaimed and threw her arms around a stunned Ridge. Ashley walked in mid-clench and spotted the ring on Brooke. "Oh, my god," she gasped, "You're engaged?"
