Thorne, Donna, Ridge, and Stephanie were all hard at work at Forrester, doing fashion type things. Over at Jackie M, Jackie and Nick just happened to be working on the exact same dress. As Jackie 'fessed up to a suspicious Clarke, Donna told Rick about Jackie's surprise (read: desperate) new line. Jackie was insistent upon previewing her collection to the press tomorrow. Nick was wary about doing it when he still didn't know who their mystery benefactor was. Thorne and Felicia griped about the Forrester line failing just so they'd have an excuse to kick out the Logans. Jackie called Stephanie for lunch at Il Giardino — and a fishing expedition. Meanwhile, Felicia chatted up Nick, who wondered if she was there to dance on Jackie M's grave. Felicia said no, she's looking for a job. "How about we turn back the clock and see if the sparks are still there?" she purred. "I've always had designs on you, Mr. Marone," she noted, kissing him. She left him with a lot to think about. Back at Forrester, Rick came to see Ridge. He once again apologized for what happened to Phoebe and asked if there was the slightest chance Ridge would be able to accept him. Ridge said only at work. Not in his family. Seeing Rick and Steffy together terrified him and Rick would have to get used to it "once and for all." As Stephanie vented about the troubles at Forrester, Jackie's Spidey senses tingled. Then, Nick ran into a bitter Thorne having a liquid lunch. Later, Nick and Jackie converged with their findings and the mystery e-mailer contacted them again. What did he/she want? The presidency of their company in exchange for the full designs. "Please, Nicky, this is our only chance," begged Jackie. "Accept. Now." So he did. Wreathed in shadow, the e-mailer sent them Eric's whole collection and then deleted the original file. Nick felt like they'd made a deal with the devil.

Owen noted to Donna that their surf line wasn't doing so well and he wasn't sure Eric was going to keep him on. When Donna left on an errand, he stared at the dress design on her laptop screen. Bridget came in looking for her aunt, sorry for interrupting Owen and noticing he was distracted. He admitted he's feeling insecure about his status at Forrester, especially his lackluster designs in comparison to her dad's secret collection. But enough about him! Owen brought up the subject of Bridget dropping by his place, wondering if she'd gotten the wrong idea about him. When she sputtered about the bikini incident, he leaned in and kissed her. Rocked by the connection, they kissed again.
