Katie was shaken by the revelation that Bill Sr.'s dying wish was that his son crush Eric Forrester and take possession of his company. Bill assured her he wasn’t using her, and that he wants her more than he wants Forrester. "I love you," he declared, adding that he doesn't use that word easily. They began kissing passionately. Katie apologized for having doubted him.

After saving Steffy's life on the boat, Owen wrapped her in a towel. "You are okay, that's all that matters," he said. Steffy felt bad, since she had promised him a relaxing boat ride. Owen offered to take her home but Steffy said her mom was coming to pick her up. Steffy thanked Owen for saving her life with a big hug, then Taylor arrived to check Steffy's head.

Nick asked Jackie what was going on with Owen, since he was supposed to be back at the office. "You don't want to know about my love life," Jackie sighed, explaining that her past still bothers Owen. Nick tried to make his mom feel better. "He'll get this figured out eventually," Nick said kindly. Jackie shared that Steffy was interfering a bit. Nick couldn't believe it. "She's a kid," he exclaimed, attributing her behavior to a crush. Owen rushed into the office, but had forgotten to retrieve Bridget's designs from Nick's boat. Realizing that Owen and Steffy had taken a joy ride without his permission, Nick demanded to know what was going on. Owen assured him he loves Jackie. Nick left when his mother arrived. Owen told Jackie about being with Steffy, and about her accident. "I guessed I saved her life," he marveled, as Jackie teared up at the thought that Owen was drawn to her young rival. Instead, Owen explained the experience reminded him of how precious life is, and allowed him to put Jackie’s past behind him. "I don't want to judge you," he said tenderly, then asked her for her forgiveness. Jackie took his hand. "Yes," she said as the two began to kiss.
