At home, Amber was depressed at the thought of losing Little Eric to Deacon and Macy. Rick made certain that Amber understood that Deacon, Macy and Little Eric are not a family. Rick predicted that no judge would deny him and Amber permanent custody of Little Eric. Ridge hired Ed Bradley, an attorney specializing in family law to help out Rick, Brooke and Amber. Ed advised Brooke to file a restraining order against Macy. The restraining order would bar Macy from being in the presence of Little Eric or Hope. Ed said the restraining order would be based on Brooke's accusations that Macy had attempted to kill Brooke in the car accident when Macy was believed to be dead.

Amber went to pick up Little Eric at Deacon's. Deacon assured Amber that Macy does not want Little Eric for herself, nor is he using Little Eric to impress Macy. Deacon complimented Amber for being a great mother to Little Eric. He promised Amber that she would always be Little Eric's mother. He also promised he would not take Little Eric away from Amber. Macy assured Amber that she is not out to steal Little Eric. Macy did admit that she loves Little Eric. Macy promised she would never try to take Little Eric away from his mother. Amber agreed with Macy that Little Eric could not have too much love. Amber promised to convince Brooke and Rick that Deacon and Macy should also be a part of Little Eric's life.

Meanwhile, Ed Bradley told Brooke and Rick that Macy would be served the restraining order papers tonight.

Amber picks up Little Dee/Eric from Deacon's to take him home after spending the night with his biological dad. After talking with Macy, Amber is no longer worried that Macy is using her influence to convince Deacon to take their son to live with him and Macy. Deacon and Macy also feel relieved that the time Deacon had with his son went so well. The good feeling is shattered when a process server arrives with a restraining order stating that Macy may not come within 100 years of either Little Dee/Eric or Hope. Deacon is sure that Amber didn't know about the restraining order, but he also knows that she is not calling the shots in the Forrester home. While he waits for his lawyer to return his phone call, Deacon takes another look at the order and realizes that the order is against Macy Alexander but doesn't say anything about Macy "Sharpe." Macy can't believe Deacon could be suggesting they get married. But he tells her that he'd be a fool not to realize that she is really good for him and his kids and he doesn't want to lose her.

Amber is upset to arrive home and learn from Rick that Ridge has helped Brooke to find a lawyer, who has taken out a restraining order against Macy. She panics because she thinks this action will only make Deacon angry and more determined. She says he will not back down and she gave him her word that she would support his spending time with his children. She's also upset that Rick got involved in making the decision to go ahead with the restraining order without consulting her.

Brooke is surprised when Ridge doesn't seem jealous at the thought that she has a date with Nick. Ridge tells her he has no worries because he knows they belong together, and he's sure that the more time she spends with "Popeye" the sooner she'll realize it too.

Sailing on a midnight cruise to Catalina, Brooke is glad she kept her date with Nick. A fog sets in, but Nick makes her feel safe and what might have been scary night becomes romantic.
