Justin begged Donna to tell him if he is Marcus's father but she denied it. Marcus walked in with a delivery and sensed the tension. He asked if his mom was okay and Donna claimed she was fine. After Marcus left, Justin still suspected that Marcus is his son but Donna insisted it wasn't true. She lied that there was someone else and that's why she broke up with Justin. He demanded that Donna give up the guy's name. "Stop pressing me on this," she shot back. Marcus apologized and left a weepy Donna.

Brooke walked in on Nick and Bridget making out. The Marones mentioned that they were planning a surprise celebration for Stephanie's accomplishments. Brooke left and joined Ridge, who revealed that Eric wanted to adopt Marcus. Brooke then shared that Jackie M was giving Stephanie a party. Ridge and Brooke had enough with casual conversation and started smooching.

As Pam, Whip, Jackie and Owen planned Stephanie's little party, the guest of honor walked in and asked what they were discussing. Whip fibbed that they were all meeting in Steph's office for a staff meeting. When she revealed that she had a headache, Jackie advised La Forrester to take it easy. Stephanie refused, then was later surprised when everyone gathered in her office for champagne. Jackie announced that they wanted to celebrate Stephanie's successes at the company. She tried to be modest but Nick toasted to the "woman of the year." Stephanie gave props to her new family and crowed that Jackie M will become the No. 1 fashion house in the world.

After the party, Bridget fretted to Nick that Stephanie's behavior seemed a little odd. Meanwhile, Pam was alone with her sister when she noticed Stephanie seemed overly distracted. Steph pooh poohed Pam's concern then sent her home. Alone, Stephanie's vision blurred and she became weak. "I'm fine," she told herself.
