Thomas visits Massimo and although Thomas tries to bring Massimo's attention elsewhere, Massimo still thinks of Jackie and secretly plots a way to get her back.

At home, Brooke assumed that Bridget was upset because she and Ridge were going to the Jackie M party knowing that Deacon would be there. Bridget denied that she was upset over Deacon. Ridge suggested that she go to the party and show Deacon that he no longer means anything to her. Bridget nixed Ridge's suggestion.

Massimo hired Heather to become "Deacon's assistant." Heather was instructed by Massimo to pose as Deacon's assistant and then put alcohol that was twice distilled, odorless, tasteless and undetectable into Deacon's drink at the Jackie M party. Massimo's goal was to make Deacon unknowingly drink the alcohol and have a major relapse with his alcoholism. Nick did not know what Massimo was up to with Deacon. Nick advised Massimo that his constantly keeping tabs on Jackie was very unhealthy for him. Massimo convinced Nick to go to the Jackie M party to be there just in case something went wrong. On his way to the party he stopped by Brooke and Ridge's house to drop off a Christmas gift for Hope. He took a protesting Bridget to the Jackie M party with him.

At the Jackie M party all of the major fashion players were there. Most importantly, Spectra Couture and Forrester Creations were there. Sally questioned Deacon and Jackie about what the sales figures for the Jackie M line was. Deacon intentionally saved the answer for later. Eric admitted to Sally and Clarke that their Spectra Couture sales had been impressive. Ridge, Brooke, Nick and Bridget were present at the party to hear the sales figures for Spectra and Forrester. Jackie and Deacon promoted the fact that Spectra had a 23 percent gain in sales in just the last week. Deacon announced to the party goers that he and Jackie are a couple. Nick questioned if Bridget were upset about seeing Deacon with Jackie. Bridget denied that she was. Suddenly, Brooke noticed Bridget staring at Ridge very intensely!
