Jackie showed up on the Forrester doorstep with an engagement present for Thorne. A perturbed Stephanie insisted the wedding will never happen. Jackie pointed out that La Forrester already battled Brooke for 20 years, asking if she is ready to go another 20 with a "younger and more energetic model." Stephanie assured she was up for the challenge. Eric arrived and Steph was surprised that her husband already knew about the engagement. Jackie happily flitted out as Eric and Stephanie argued about Thorne's choice for a spouse. Stephanie sniped that heir son was about to marry someone who had "more mileage on her than the Queen Mary," but Eric said there was nothing wrong for marrying for comfort.

At Forrester Creations, Thorne and Donna informed Brooke that they were engaged. "We're going to be a family again," Thorne declared to a stunned Brooke and left. "You're going to make Stephanie very, very unhappy," Brooke noted and advised her sister to back out because Thorne is very vulnerable. But Donna insisted that she could make him happy — while sticking it to Stephanie. Jackie walked in on the squabbling sisters and suggested that Brooke design Donna's wedding dress. "I'll have to sleep on that," Brooke grumbled and exited. Jackie warned Donna not to underestimate Stephanie because she could change Thorne's mind by turning on the mother's love he has always craved.

Thorne walked in on his parents' argument and asked to speak to Mom alone. "You have to respect my choice and back off," Thorne demanded; Stephanie refused. "She's only marrying you to get back at me," Steph raged. "Don't be blind. Pleasure has a price." Thorne then revealed that he kicked his growing dependency on booze and pills thanks to Donna. Steph broke down in tears and begged for Thorne's forgiveness; he proclaimed that he was still going to marry Donna.

Stephanie was dumbfounded to hear Thorne call Donna his fiancée. "That's right, Stephanie," Donna sneered, flashing her engagement ring. Enraged, Steph blasted her son for being "irresponsible" and insisted that Donna didn't love him. Thorne defended his choice but Stephanie ordered Donna to take her ring off. When she wouldn't, Steph tried to do it herself and Thorne had to stop his mom from getting physical "Stop treating Thorne like a disobedient toddler!" Donna huffed and Thorne ordered Mom to leave. As she walked out, Steph shot a poisoned look at Donna, who simply smiled back.

"Phoebe was the most important thing in my life," Rick lamented to Ashley. "I've got to get her back." Ash pointed out that he couldn't make Phoebe feel a certain way, but Rick said he was determined to win her trust again. Meanwhile, Phoebe admitted to Constantine that she didn't think she could perform with Rick on stage. As she watched Constantine record his newest song, she couldn't help but think about Rick. Constantine noticed that Phoebe was distracted and she confessed that she missed Rick.

Thorne took Eric and Ally to Crimson Lights and while his daughter was playing on the computer, Thorne revealed to his dad that he was engaged to Donna. Eric was surprised; Thorne maintained that Donna was right for him.

Jackie observed that Nick was upset about Brooke. She assured her son that Stephanie would get what was coming to her thanks to Donna and Nick asked his mom for all the details. Later, Donna called Jackie to recount the confrontation with Stephanie, but mid-conversation, the line went dead. Donna looked up to find that Stephanie had snuck back into the house and pulled out the phone line. Steph advised Donna not to buy a wedding dress just yet. "Thorne is all mine now, Stephanie and he will be for the rest of your miserable life," Donna jeered. "You had it so good with my sister. Now you're stuck with me... Donna Logan, your worst nightmare!"
