Stephanie urges her to go back to Brooke's in the morning to see if Brooke's had any inappropriate visitors. Stephanie knows that Brooke would never be violent, but she has concerns about the men she night take home.

Brooke has just been raped by Andy in her living room. He talks about how hot it was and all the fun he had. Brooke is traumatized. When she tells him to leave he warns her not to "piss" him off as it could cost her the kids. He goes on to explain that he's not stupid; he knows she has her court case tomorrow and to have yet another 9-1-1 call on record would tank her chances of getting her kids back. Plus, he tells her that no one will believe that she was raped considering her history with men. When the Dorothy, the social worker, shows up he tells Brooke to keep quiet or else. A shaken Brooke explains that she's just tired and was planning to go to Donna's for the night and tries to get a ride over there to escape but the worker can't give a relative of a client a ride. After she leaves Andy taunts Brooke more about how hot it was to rape her and that he's looking forward to doing it again. She pulls a letter opener on him and threatens to stab him. He laughs and mocks that her aggressiveness turns him on. Brooke lunges at him and stabs him in the shoulder. She goes after him again and he flees. Later, Brooke goes to her bathroom, clearly in a state of shock, drops the bloody knife in the sink and showers frantically, trying to clean Andy off of her body.
