Brooke cried that she didn't know how everything had happened. Bridget snarked that it was obvious that Brooke and Deacon had been having sex. Bridget got Brooke to admit that the affair had started eight months prior and was incredulous when Brooke couldn't pinpoint how many times she had slept with Deacon. Bridget ran though a list of places where Brooke could have bedded Deacon and remembered a night when Deacon was nowhere to be found before deducing that Brooke had also used her office bed for the rendezvous. Bridget labeled Brooke disgusting, and Bridget screamed that she had thought she was important to Brooke, who maintained that Bridget was. Bridget wondered how Brooke could say that with a straight face, crying that Brooke had thrown Bridget away. When Brooke swore that she loved and needed Bridget, Bridget said she wished Brooke had thought of that before. "I'm gone," Bridget announced resolutely.
