Stephanie was upset that Lt. Baker seemed to suspect Pam of stalking Rick. After the cop questioned Pam about the type of yarn she uses, he revealed that it looked like the fiber found on the letter threatening Rick. Further searching turned up plastic explosives in Pam's storage box and she was arrested. Pam began to freak as she was being handcuffed so Stephanie had to calm her down.

Rick, Steffy and Brooke asked Ridge if it's true that he was not going to interfere in Rick and Steffy's relationship. He confirmed that he didn't want to alienate his daughter any further. Rick called Ridge's gesture of good faith "a charade." Brooke and Steffy asked Rick to have an open mind but Ridge accused Rick of wanting to keep their conflict going.

Upon hearing that the police are at Forrester, Donna surmised to Marcus and Katie that Pam was being arrested. They heard a commotion out in the hallway and emerged from the office to investigate. An agitated Pam was screaming as she was being led away by the police. "You crazy freak!" Donna yelled at her. Ridge, Brooke, Rick and Steffy showed up and learned that Pam was being brought in for trying to kill Rick. He became upset that Pam was his assailant and she insisted that she never tried to hurt him. After she was dragged away, Donna hoped they would lock Pam up and "throw away the key." Meanwhile, Ridge and Rick exchanged not-very-genuine apologies for the accusations they hurled before Pam's arrest.

At the police station, Pam continued to proclaim her innocence. Stephanie ordered her sister not to answer any questions. Lt. Baker got the lab results that Pam's yarn and the fibers that were uncovered on the letter were a match. After Pam was officially booked, Stephanie asked her sister if she went after Rick, since there's so much evidence against her. Pam came unglued as she insisted that she isn't guilty.
