Macy and Kimberly are in the kitchen talking about what Macy overheard on the phone. She believes that there is some truth to the fact that Thorne would not have married her if Ridge and Eric had not done something in Paris. Kimberly assures her that Thorne loves her and that he married her. She said that she does not remember the two of them doing anything- maybe sightseeing- she stops herself and insist that Macy stop thinking like this. Kimberly asks her is there anything that Thorne has done to make her feel otherwise. Macy answers, "No." Kimberly tells her that Thorne tells her that he loves her- Macy thinks about that for a moment and realizes that he has not said it since they left Amsterdam. Kimberly assures her that she is getting all worked up over nothing. Macy says that she is never going to mention Brooks name again.

Outside on the patio Rick and Thorne are talking. Rick is talking about how he respects Kimberly but it he feels like a "Leech." Thorne assures him that he is normal because he is dating a very beautiful girl. Thorne tells him that his mother did a good job raising him. Rick then thinks about his mother and says that she must be feeling mighty lonely seeing that everyone has moved on. He tells Thorne that she is lucky that she has him as a good friend even though they have not hung out as much as they did before he got married to Macy. Thorne has a guilty look on his face. Thorne tells him that he should spend more time with his mother.

Rick and Thorne go back into the house, which causes Macy and Kimberly to end their conversation. Rick comments on how chilly it is outside. Thorne tells him to go and grab a windbreaker. He then ask Macy does she want to go for a walk on the beach- they have not done it in a while. She grabs him and puts her arms around him. Thorne looks confused and ask her what was this about. She tells him that she loves him. He says that he loves her too.

In Paris, Ridge and Morgan are talking in their suite. Ridge is expressing how guilty he feels. He says that his mother is overprotective of them. Morgan tells him that she trusted Stephanie until she had taken her to the airport. She assures Ridge that she never cared about her. Ridge looks sympathetic. He ask her what happened after she left LA. She tells him that she had a couple of nervous breakdowns, eating disorders and depression. She said that the worst thing for her was wondering what the baby would have been like. She knows that the baby would have been a boy with his eyes...and that he would have had the best of them. Ridge gives Morgan a kiss on the forehead and says that he must get back to Forrester and that he will see her later.

At the Forester mansion, Stephanie walks in from the terrace. Eric is sitting at the table doing some work. He asks her where she's been and she tells him that she has been walking in the garden. Eric questions is she still worried about Ridge. Stephanie would not tell him the real reason why she is so bothered by Morgan but she insist that she does not need to be in LA.

Stephanie stresses how Morgan can cause trouble and how she has pretended to get close to Taylor. She reminds Eric that to make it where she has in this business that you have to be very cunning. Eric does agree with her on that. He does not quite understand what the big deal is. Is it because they used to date? Stephanie insists that she is not to be underestimated. Their discussion ends and Eric leaves.

Stephanie calls Paris and Morgan answers the phone. Stephanie asks to speak to Ridge and Morgan says that she does not believe that he wants to talk to her and that he is out. Stephanie tells her that she does not believe that she thinks that she is going to come between her and her son. Stephanie reminds Morgan that Ridge is a happily married man with a family. Morgan tells her not to talk to her about familyshe says that she could have been the one to raise a family with Ridge. Stephanie asks her is that what she has been thinking? Stephanie tells her not to come back to LA. Morgan gets pissed and tell her that she is not telling her what to do anymore. She has been waiting for this moment a long time and that Stephanie will pay. Stephanie tells her that she is making a big mistake.

Brooke tells Ridge that Morgan either doesn't like him at all, or she has a thing for him. Taylor tells Ridge about Stephanie's suspicion that Morgan wants more than a professional relationship with him. Ridge promises Taylor that she will never have a reason to feel insecure about their marriage. At first, Stephanie reacts with disbelief when Amber explains that Becky doesn't know she has cancer.
