Jackie kept asking Nick who sent the designs but he wouldn't give up a name so she was certain Stephanie betrayed Forrester Creations. The banker showed up and voiced concerns that Nick and Jackie would still be able to pay on their loans since their successful showing could be just a flash in the pan. After the banker left, Jackie went into panic mode but Nick assured that their new president will bring Jackie M plenty of publicity and success.

Rick was angry and hurt that Eric played obvious favorites with Ridge. Rick promised that he was walking out and Eric will never have to deal with him again. "I realize now that I'm a huge disappointment to you and I don't blame you for hating me," Rick declared, then started beating up on himself for "robbing" his own father and causing so much trouble for the company. When Rick tried to leave, Eric stopped him. "I want you here with me," Eric insisted and vowed that no one would ever find out that Rick is the traitor. Rick had to admit that Steffy knows but Eric said he would make sure no one else would ever be the wiser. Eric called Nick and asked him to meet on the Forrester jet. Rick was confused at what his father was up to. After blasting Rick for their predicament, Eric emotionally proclaimed, "I'm your father and I love you."

After having sex in his office, Ridge and Brooke laid naked on his couch and discussed Eric's pirated collection. "Who ever leaked those designs will have hell to pay," Ridge growled. Their afterglow was interrupted when Ridge got an urgent call so he had to dress and leave. Knowing he would be back soon, Brooke got dressed in a sexy negligee but of course Stephanie barged in. "Why do you always have to come in here when I'm in my underwear?" Brooke huffed but Steph dissed Brooke for distracting Ridge when he has a lot of important designing to do. Ridge returned and while Brooke was out of the room changing, both he and Stephanie surmised that Rick was the one who stole the designs.

Eric and Rick met Nick on the Forrester jet where Eric proposed that he wouldn't file a lawsuit against Jackie M and that the collection was theirs to keep if Nick releases Rick from their deal. "What's it going to be?" Eric asked.
