"You must never let Ridge discover Massimo is his father," Stephanie cautioned Bridget. But a disquiet settled within Bridget; she felt a profound sense of treachery with each carefully constructed falsehood.

A wave of shock and revulsion washed over Stephanie as Brooke appeared, gliding into view aboard a motorboat—a breathtaking wedding gown her only adornment.

As the winner is about to be revealed, Ridge steps onto the stage and dedicates his triumph to his father, Eric. Massimo, unable to bear the sight of his son acknowledging another man's victory, goes to pay respects at his father's grave.

A profound sadness weighed on Macy; she had departed without so much as a farewell to Sally, and a sharp accusation formed in her mind: Adam had deliberately prevented her from seeing Thorne.

Stephanie watched, incredulous, as Brooke proceeded to issue directives within Ridge’s home as if she were a permanent guest. "This is Ridge's house, Brooke," Stephanie reminded her, the words laced with a familiar exasperation.

A shadow of unease settled over Ridge; he feared Bridget’s departure stemmed from a fault of his own. Meanwhile, Brooke, seeking a return to order, summoned Catherine, the nanny, to care for the children.

C.J. pressed Bridget for the reason behind her reluctance to return to living with Ridge. He suspected, given her affection for the children, that her resistance stemmed from him.

Adam sought to persuade Macy to leave behind her memories of Thorne. Hoping for a fresh beginning with the woman he cherished, Lorenzo asked for her hand in marriage.

Thorne was taken aback to learn of Sally's intention to reveal Macy's survival to C.J., but quickly recognized the wisdom in her plan. C.J. represented their best hope of persuading Macy to return.

As Macy and Lorenzo spoke their promises, Sally first berated her daughter, then wept for her, before succumbing to a severe heart attack.

As Brooke and Ridge settled in for the night, each heading to their separate rooms, Ridge unexpectedly kissed her, a passionate and fervent embrace.

Bridget awoke from the dream with a jolt, the lingering image of a life she had never known searing her mind. In the dream, she was married to Ridge, and they were together, building a home with his children. The vision left her with a prof…

Stephanie recognized the familiar signs of Brooke’s mischief and confronted her, unaware that Bridget was within earshot, just beyond the doorway.

Brooke demanded an explanation from Bridget. Why hadn’t she stood up for her with Ridge? And why wasn’t she actively trying to help Brooke regain his affection? Bridget was incredulous that her mother would ask her to fabricate a story.

Thorne declared to Macy that their connection was fated, imploring her to abandon Lorenzo and offering marriage. Macy countered that he was merely echoing the arguments Brooke had used years before.

Tears welled in Amber's eyes as she attempted to explain; she’d been young, barely more than a child, when she made the video with Rudy in Furnace Creek. But her words fell on deaf ears. Rick was visibly disappointed, and Eric’s face was a …

Massimo appeared with a surprise for the children—floor seats to a Lakers game. As soon as Ridge was gone from the room, Massimo instructed Brooke to depart, and to go and ruin someone else’s existence.
