In Brooke's office, Kimberly is having a face off with Brooke. Brooke tells her this is a place of business and closes the door. Kimberly reminded her that the steam room was a place of business. Kimberly tells her that she saw everything. She knows everything...Venice and so does Macy. She is downstairs talking to Thorne about it right now. Brooke tells Kimberly that she and Thorne are both adults and that what goes on between her and Thorne is no ones business. Kimberly tells her that there is nothing going on between them.

Brooke tells her that she does not appreciate her talking to her like that. Kimberly asks her what is she going to do? Throw her out. Kimberly tells her that she will go downstairs and tell Macy what happened in the steam room. Brooke ask her is that a threat. Kimberly says that she is the threat. Brooke says that she has nothing against Macy. Kimberly tells her that Macy has a problem with her...and after Macy gets finished talking to Thorne, he won't have anything to do with you.

In Thorne's office, he wants to talk to Macy, but she says there is nothing to talk about. Brooke Logan is history! Thorne brings up her drinking and ask if that was history too. Macy tells him that it is not important but what was important to her is the confidence in their marriage. She admits that it has been real difficult and that she has been tempted. She tells him that she cannot live with that kind of suspicion and that it is poison for her and their marriage. She is not going to allow Brooke to be part of their lives. Eric, Stephanie, Ridge and Taylor may be able to live with the treachery but she can't. She says that she knows that he loves and supports her...if she did not have that she doesn't know what she would do. She hugs him.

In Becky and Amber's Apartment, Amber is holding the baby thinking about Becky. Stephanie and Sally arrive, Stephanie says the she and Sally have been talking and they believe that Amber has to tell C.J. and Becky what is going on. It has to be done tonight. She appears reluctant. She tells them how Becky has been there with her for everything. How close they were while growing up. She goes and gets Becky's album and shows the pictures to Sally and Stephanie.

"She didn't have much to smile about growing up. That's why the book is so thin. I know the girl growing up in every picture, because I was there... but it ends here. There will be no wedding picture. She won't have any more birthday parties. She won't see Little Eric growing up. The rest will be empty because Becky won't be here to fill it," Amber laments. Stephanie holds her as she cries.

In Santa Barbara, Becky is on the patio, enjoying the view. C.J. presents her with a rose and tells her she looks beautiful. Becky tells him how wonderful he has been when she gets a look of pain on her face. He asks if she is all right and she tells him that she has never felt better. She has not been hungry because she has been so happy, she explains. C.J. asks her not to hide anything, but she says she is fine and is even better with him. C.J. says she must miss Little Eric and wonders if she feels guilty for leaving him. Becky says a few months ago she would have, but she is different. She is not afraid to be happy any more, because everything is perfect. No one has ever made her feel like this. C.J. says she can get used to it, because there will be more times like this. They kiss.

Brooke has her back to the door in her office. She hears it open and fears it is Kimberly, but it is Thorne, who looks worried. She explains about Kimberly's visit and asks what happened with Macy. Thorne explains that Macy knows he has feelings for her (Brooke) and has suspected it for a while. He tells her how she almost took a drink due to the suspicions that she has had about the two of them. Thorne says that he did not want to believe that Macy could not handle this. He was too busy not to see it because he was hanging out with Brooke. Brooke reiterates that they did not do anything wrong. She insists that he must tell Macy everything. She must know the truth before it goes on any further about their true feelings for one another. He must do it now! She holds Thorne while he looks bewildered.

Sally and Stephanie are helping Amber in the apartment when the phone rings. Thinking it is Becky, Stephanie asks Amber to put the call on the speakerphone. Amber does, and it turns out to be C.J., who says that Becky has not been feeling well. They are coming home, and he wants Becky to see a doctor when they get back. Amber ask C.J. did that effect their trip. He tells her no and shares his feelings about how he can't imagine life without Becky. She tells C.J. that she has to go and he admits that he sounds pretty sappy. They hang up. Sally then tells Amber that this is why she must tell the truth. They must be told tonight! Stephanie assures Amber that it will be all right, but Amber says, "No, it's not! When they both know that Becky is dying, nothing will ever be OK again!"

Kimberly doesn't believe Rick when he tells her that Brooke is really in love with Thorne. She also thinks he's wrong if he believes that Thorne loves Brooke. Kimberly tells Rick emphatically that if Brooke doesn't stay away from Thorne, then she'll do something about it herself.

Kimberly disagrees, certain that Macy will need her help against Brooke. She leaves angrily. Macy tells Brooke to stay away from her husband.

After Brooke has had enough of Macy's contempt, she replies that Thorne's heart is still committed to Brooke. He's only staying with Macy to protect her because he's afraid that if he leaves, she will start drinking again. Brooke points out that Macy was strong enough to stay clean without Thorne and tells her to give him up. Macy tells Brooke to stay away from Thorne or Macy will destroy her.

Becky pretends to be asleep so C.J. doesn't see her in pain. He knows that she's not feeling well and tells Becky that he's taking her to a doctor when they get home. Eric joins Stephanie, Sally and Amber as they wait to break the news to Becky and C.J. C.J. comes in, explaining that Becky went to the drugstore to get something for her stomach.
