Thorne is trying to talk business with his father and brother but they are just staring at him as if he were a disgusting specimen under a glass. He asks them if they are listening and they say that they are. He says that he is going back to his office but they stop him. They are going to have this out once and for all! They begin yelling at him for allowing Brooke Logan to visit Stephanie, once again warning him that she could kill his mother. They slip and let him know that they are also talking to Brooke. Ridge says that Taylor is in his office with Brooke right now talking about ending this relationship. They let him know that Taylor has been talking to psychiatrists about the relationship. Thorne is outraged that Taylor would interfere with his life by talking to strangers about him and Brooke. He will not have it. Ridge reminds him that Taylor is trained to see aberrant behavior in others and this relationship is definitely not normal. Thorne says that they are just trying to get between him and Brooke and it won't work. "Do you hear me? It won't work!"

Kimberly is heartbroken and can't believe that Rick wants her to stop searching for the truth. She can't believe that Rick would believe anything Amber says because she is an expert at lying and wouldn't know the truth if it was right in front of her. But Rick says that she has to give this up; it is nothing but a witch hunt and it is demeaning. He only wants her to get on with her life. She doesn't need this and she doesn't need him. She says she isn't doing this because she needs him but because she wants to save him from the life he will have with Amber. If she wants to do everything she can to uncover Amber's lies and secrets, she will do it and it will be her problem. She can see that he is in pain and deep down inside, he knows that something is wrong with his marriage. Amber is freaking out all the time but it isn't because she is afraid that she is a threat to the marriage; it is because she doesn't want her to find out her secrets. Rick tells her that if she is wrong, what then? She could spend years looking for something that doesn't exist and that would be such a terrible waste. "Don't do that to yourself," he pleads. "You deserve so much more." He leaves but Kimberly isn't giving up. "The truth is out there and I'm going to find it. And when I do, I'm going to use it to set Rick free."

Amber is worrying about Rick being gone so long. He should have been home by now and it isn't a good sign that he isn't. She believes that he is with Kimberly. Tawny comes back to the house with all the things she needed from the drug store. As she is talking, she notices her bag in the middle of the room. Amber says that she packed it while she was gone; she wants her to leave tonight. She says that she loves her and appreciates all she tried to do but nothing has been right since she got there. Tawny tells her that she has something to say and Amber is going to listen to her. She tells her that she has a good thing going for her here and she has to fight like hell to hang on to it. If she thinks she can become a little church mouse and hang on to everything, she is wrong. She can't let herself be turned into a doormat for any of the Forresters. If she lets her guard down for one minute, they will chew her up and spit her out. The answer is babies, lots of babies. She knows this isn't what Amber wants to hear but that is the way this family works. She advises her to keep that in mind as she grabs her bags and leaves.

Brooke is angry at Taylor for wanting her to break up with Thorne. She reminds Taylor that she was the one who told her what to do to get Stephanie to accept her but now, she is listening to Eric and Ridge. She blasts her for having no sense of loyalty. Well, Brooke says, this whole family can just GO TO HELL! Taylor tries to reason with Brooke telling her that it has nothing to do with Ridge and Eric but with Brooke and her problem. Thorne is only a symptom of that problem but it can be solved; you need therapy, she tells Brooke. Brooke disagrees; she says that it is Eric and Ridge who are out of touch with reality. Again, Taylor tries to point out that the way she has related with every man in the Forrester family is not normal. She has to give up Thorne is she is ever to be normal. Brooke is able to explain how she has been involved with more than one member of the family and it all sounds reasonable. She explains that Thorne gives her the love, the tenderness and the friendship that she needs. If she were to turn her back on all that, she would go crazy. She then tells Taylor that she can never trust her again; she has destroyed the young friendship that they had started. Taylor says that she knows she was taking a chance with their newfound friendship; it killed her to have to say these things to her but she had to do it. If she continues with this relationship with Thorne, she will be setting herself up for a future full of heartache and pain.

"Is that so?" Thorne asks from the doorway. He is very angry as he tells Taylor that he used to have a lot of respect for her but now he has zero. He tells her that he knows how he feels about Brooke and it isn't sick. He tells her to take her garbage and feed it to her sick husband but leave Brooke alone. "I don't want to catch you talking to Brooke again! Now get out of here!" He pulls Brooke into his arms and tells her that they will prove them all wrong.

Rick comes home and admits that he was with Kimberly. Amber asks what he said to her. Did he tell her to stop trying to break up their marriage?

Kimberly angrily tells Giovanni that even after she discovered what she has about Amber and even after Amber's mother pulled a gun on her, Rick is still staying with her. Giovanni tells her that Rick is right; she must get on with her life. She is only throwing her own dreams away on this quest that she isn't even sure has a basis in truth. No, Kimberly insists, she isn't going to give up until Rick knows the truth. Giovanni surprises her by kissing her again.

He admits that he didn't talk to his mother yet but he will tell her the same thing. They embrace and Amber wants to make love. Rick asks if she is still on the pill. She tells him that she is; she knows that neither of them wants more children at this point in their marriage. She tells him how much she loves him and they kiss.

Stephanie asks the maid if Brooke has been back today. The maid says that she hasn't but is surprised that Stephanie was expecting her. Stephanie says that she is sure that Brooke is after something and she is going to find out what it is. The phone interrupts and it is Brooke. She asks if she can come over the next day and Stephanie says that would be fine. When she hangs up, Stephanie is pleased with herself and says that Brooke will tell soon tells her what she is up to.
