Stephanie was grateful to finally be alone with some peace and quiet at the cabin in Big Bear. Eric arrived and interrupted her solitude. She was surprised to see him, but allowed him to join her. He offered her a drink. "You better make it a double!" she quipped. The two former-marrieds reminisced about their former life together, and Stephanie noted that they now both have new lives. "I'm my own person now!" she proclaimed. She pointed out that Eric had Donna and his own new life too. They were glad that they still had each other to lean on. Eric shared his suspicion that Stephanie had secretly wanted him to follow her up to Big Bear. She bristled, but finally admitted that she was glad he was there. After joking about the memory of them "rolling around naked on the bear rug", Eric went off to prepare them some food. Stephanie attempted to sit on the couch, and was startled to be jabbed by Bill's missing sword necklace.

Jarett arrived at Bill's office and assured Bill that his necklace would turn up soon. Katie entered and giggled when Jarett greeted her as "Mrs. Spencer." She hopped into Bill's lap, and the newlyweds began making out.

Donna reported for work at Catwalk and was stunned to discover that Pam would be back at the show so soon after her mother's death. Donna comforted her. Whip arrived for his segment on the show, not realizing that it was a public relations face-off between Forrester and Jackie M. Steffy and Whip went head-to-head defending their new campaigns. Both made digs at each other's fashion houses. The jabs ended with Whip suggesting a competition pitting Forrester's "Hollywood" collection against Jackie M.'s "Adam and Eve" ... right there on Catwalk. A stunned Steffy eventually agreed to the contest, which was met with a roar of audience applause. After the cameras stopped rolling, Steffy was concerned that Katie would be mad at her for acting on impulse by agreeing to the competition. Bill arrived and caught Steffy off guard. "You're just full of surprises, aren't you?" he asked. She defended herself, anticipating a harsh reaction from Bill. Instead, he congratulated her on making a move which would send their ratings through the roof. Steffy was pleased, and congratulated him on his recent wedding. Bill smiled as she walked away.

Taylor and Steffy were huddled over the computer working on a reluctant Taylor's on-line dating profile, when a potential match messaged her. Steffy left for work, despite her mother's protests. Curious, Taylor began reading the potential suitor's messages. She sent a message back, agreeing to meet with him, despite being concerned that his profile didn't include a picture. They picked the Insomnia coffeehouse, and agreed to meet right away to see if they "clicked" in person. Once there, Taylor nervously stood at the bar looking for her date, who would be clad in a beige leisure suit. He walked up behind her and she turned to find her date. "You? You are my date?" she stammered.
