Donna was surprised when Pam revealed she had been hired back at Forrester Creations by Stephanie. Donna was disgusted and said Rick wouldn't stand for it. Steph arrived and said there was nothing Rick could do about Pam's employment status. Donna reminded that Eric put Rick in charge but Stephanie said she has doubts about Eric's state of mind. Pam declared that Rick is "the devil" and needed to be stopped. Donna pointed out that Pam had tried to kill people before but Ms. Douglas insisted that was when she was not in her right mind. However, Donna announced her suspicions that Pam was still crazy.

Lt. Baker looked over the threatening note that Rick received and it was determined the letters cut out to comprise "The end is near" came from a surfer magazine. Baker called Owen down to the police station where he was confronted with the note. Baker announced that Owen is now the prime suspect and Knight offered to take a lie detector test. Baker seemed to believe Owen, then asked who else worked on the surf line and Owen answered Pam. After Owen left, Baker found out that the same fiber was found on Rick's desk and in the note. The fiber was yarn, the same kind Pam used in her crocheting.

Brooke was distraught that Rick still blamed Ridge for the attempts on his life. Brooke insisted to Rick that Ridge didn't try to kill him. Of course, Rick disagreed and recounted all the evidence mounting against Ridge.

Ridge summoned Steffy to his office, where Taylor was waiting, too. When Steffy walked in, Ridge and Taylor pushed their daughter to stop seeing Rick because she was in danger. Steffy refused to "walk away from Rick." She suggested to her parents that "it's time to let go" of her and let her make her own decisions. Ridge and Taylor assured that they will be there for Steffy when her decisions don't work out. "We love you more than life and we just want you to be happy," Ridge affirmed.
