At her house, Brooke spoke to Nick on the phone about Hope, who was still unconscious at University Hospital. Brooke demanded to know how long her daughter would be asleep. Nick admitted she may suffer brain damage. Brooke was silent on the other end, but when Nick said her name, she had already run out of her house, leaving the door open…. Later, she rushed into intensive care to see Nick sitting over an empty bed. The captain told her that Hope had been taken in for an EEG. She yelled at her ex for taking his eyes off of Hope, even for an instant. The doctor came in and told them there was a new complication as the little girl was rolled back in. The doctor informed them that Hope had had two oxygen deprived seizures. Nick looked distraught as the doctor explained that Hope could suffer from chronic pain, paralysis and more seizures, but until she woke up, all they could do was talk to her. Brooke saw Nick talking to her daughter, and asked him to leave. Brooke sang to Hope — who started to come to — while Nick looked in on them through the door.
Jackie dropped by Massimo’s office. She admitted to him that she hoped exposing Stephanie would lead to a reconciliation between them. She wanted to know how things could be better, and if there was something real worth waiting for in their relationship. Massimo gazed lovingly at their wedding picture, and talked about their past. He confessed that he didn’t want to risk his heart again. She thanked him for his honesty — looking tragically heartbroken — said good-bye and left. Massimo sat at his desk, his face troubled and his eyes filled with tears.
Stephanie sat alone in the dark in her house, when Eric came in. He announced that he had come by for the rest of his things. She attacked him for his selfishness, saying he had been a bad husband and that she made him. It was her father’s money that funded Forrester Creations, and she wrote the press releases that claimed he was a “self-made man.” He sneered that he couldn’t have been so successful without Brooke, which is why he asked her to assume co-CEO duties and gave her Steph’s office. To drive home his point, he told his wife he proposed to Brooke because Ridge didn’t take her back and that he’d keep on proposing until Brooke said yes, because he’d be happy even if they were only married six months. Stephanie demanded to know if he was still in love with Brooke. “Of course I am,” he retorted, “are you just figuring that out?” They argued about their children, and finally she tossed him the Forrester Family Photo Album. He flipped through it and said, “I hope you took all of your pictures out because they’re my family now”, before storming out.
