Stephanie and Brooke heard Ridge screaming for Steffy. He rushed out into the Forrester parking lot and in front of Rick's car but luckily Rick was able to stop in time. Ridge anxiously opened the passenger door and ordered "Phoebe" to get out and Steffy was concerned that he called her by her dead sister's name. As Stephanie and Brooke ran up, an overprotective Ridge held his daughter in a tight embrace. Steffy ushered her dad back into the office. "You don't have to worry about me," she assured but he begged her to stay away from Rick. Meanwhile, Brooke tried to reason with Rick about Ridge's over reaction. After Brooke left, Stephanie showed up and warned Rick to stay away from Steffy.

"It's a windfall," Jackie purred as she gazed at another Forrester design in an anonymous e-mail. Katie unexpectedly entered and Jackie hurriedly closed the laptop. After Jackie scooted out, Nick asked questions about her work at Forrester Creations. In a roundabout way, he was fishing to determine if she could be sending the designs but Katie didn't let on to any corporate espionage. After Katie departed, Jackie returned and Nick announced that Katie didn't steal the designs. Jackie wanted to move ahead with producing them but Nick sensed "a trap" and didn't want to do anything until they find out the identity of their mysterious benefactor. Jackie made a list of suspects, which included Owen, Felicia, Donna, Thorne, Rick, Steffy, Ridge, Brooke and still Katie. But Jackie seemed most suspicious of Stephanie. Another e-mail arrived with a third Forrester original. "Who ever is sending these designs is going to rescue us," Jackie declared.

Eric could tell Thorne was still in a snit so Dad tried to assure Son how vital to the company he is. Despite the pep talk, Thorne complained that he felt insignificant at Forrester. Later, Eric met with Katie and they discussed Jackie M's financial woes. Eric stressed how important his newest collection is to him which puzzled Katie. Later, she wondered if Eric was questioning her loyalty.

Brooke checked on Ridge and she explained that she spoke with her son and he agreed not go anywhere near Steffy. "He damn well better not," Ridge seethed. Meanwhile, Steffy met with Rick and broke down in tears over her father's pain. "I can't do that to him," Steffy sobbed. "We have to end it." Rick calmed her down and they started kissing again.
