Jackie was rescued after being attacked by the cougar that was part of Whip's ad campaign. Seems everyone wants to mate with her, "from boy toys to wild beasts," snarked Nick to his mother. Alone with Jackie, a still-shaken Owen admitted that today, someone else's life had mattered more than his own. "I thought I was going to lose you, and I wanted to tear that cougar apart with my bare hands," he told his wife. "You are my life.... With you by my side, I'm the luckiest man alive."

Dottie, an old friend of Stephanie's (who was a ringer for Morgan Fairchild) showed up at Steph's office to ask a favor: the entertainment had dropped out of a charity fundraiser, and Dottie had come up with the idea for a fashion showdown between Jackie M and Forrester. Stephanie was reluctant to be pitted against her ex-husband. Think of the money that would be raised for charity, not to mention the publicity, urged Dottie, leaving a handful of mock invitations for Stephanie to consider. Whip was intrigued, but Stephanie decided to pass.

Katie stopped by Bill's office to discuss her brain child, the Logan women campaign for Forrester. "Good luck sweetheart, I think you're going to need it," Bill smirked. Katie wanted to buy ad space in Bill's magazine and TV shows for the campaign. What's the catch? Bill asked. She wouldn't want Forrester ads alongside positive press for Jackie M, said Katie. She doesn't want special treatment, just objectivity, clarified Katie, who was certain Bill would pull through for her. After Katie left, Whip showed up to see Bill, armed with one of the mock invitations Dottie had left Stephanie. A fashion challenge could break Forrester if Jackie M wins, mused Bill. Whip agreed, and asked for Bill's help making the event happen. "Both of us would like to see the demise of Forrester Creations," explained Whip, who admitted that Stephanie didn't want to participate. But if Bill published the invite as a done deal, it would force Stephanie and Eric to go through with it, pointed out Whip. "This could sound Forrester's death knell," grinned Bill.
