Eric talks to Sally about keeping Tony and Kristen apart. Sally tells him that they are deeply in love. He tells her that they are just diluting themselves if they think that a relationship like theirs can survive. She tells him that they are both consenting adults. Eric tells her that he truly sympathizes with Tony situation, but there is too much at risk if they are to pursue their relationship. He asks her to notify him if she sees them together at Spectra. She tells him that she will do no such thing. "Where were you when my daughter needed protecting?" she asks. He tells her this is not about Macy. "Of course it isn't", she snaps. She tells him that his family didn't lift a finger when Macy was in the same situation with Thorne and now look where she's at. Eric begs her to let him know any time that she spots them together, but she kicks him out of her office. Meanwhile Kristen asks Tony to marry her. She tells him that she wanted to marry him the very first night they met. "That was before you knew I was HIV positive", he says. He tells her this is not something to take lightly; this is a life-long commitment. She says that she already knows that and she asks him again. "Of course I do", he says. Kristen tells him that they can run off to Las Vegas and tie the knot. He tells her that if they are going to do it, he wants to do it right. He wants her to have a real wedding. She says that none of that matters, all she wants is to be with him. He asks her how many dreams is she going to give up just to marry him. They will never make love, have children, and cause friction with her family. She says none of that matters, because all her dreams came true when she met him. She asks him what is stopping him. He says that he's not sure, but her family will be very upset when they find out. She tells him that it doesn't matter; she doesn't need their permission. He tells her that he needs some time; he wants to plan this. They start to kiss, but she tells him to stop, he must wait until he's her husband.

After their walk on the beach, Bridget suspected that Deacon had something heavy on his mind. She asked him if it was Amber that was troubling him. Deacon assured her it was not Amber, but she's who he's concerned about. Deacon tried to convince Bridget that she's be better off without him. Bridget didn't agree and revealed she's still happy with her choice to marry him. Deacon lit a cigarette. Because he had given up smoking, Bridget was worried that he was so upset about something that it drove him to smoke.

Rick questioned paternity and wondered if Deacon is the father instead of him. When Amber arrived, Rick was preparing to tell her that he had seen her kissing Deacon.

Amber tells Stephanie that this child's life is going to be perfect. She also mentions Brooke's harsh words, but knows that nothing can hurt her as long as she and Rick believe in each other. Stephanie promises that things will be easier for Amber now. Rick asks Ginger what's going on between Deacon and Amber. Ginger assures Rick that Amber ended it with Deacon and that the baby is definitely Rick's because Amber and Deacon never slept together. When Ginger realizes that Rick saw Deacon and Amber together at the Lair, she insists that Amber wants Rick - not Deacon. Rick doesn't believe he has a marriage, just a pack of lies. Brooke tells Eric that if Deacon ends his marriage to Bridget she is sure that Amber will follow suit. She hopes that Deacon is ending the marriage as they speak. When Brooke calls Deacon, he informs her that he's not divorcing Bridget. He can't break her heart. Meanwhile, Rick bursts in and tells Amber that he's sorry he married her and sorry that she's carrying his child.
