Stephanie, Taylor and Thorne faced off against Eric, Ridge and Brooke, but the two camps at Forrester learned that fighting for control would land them in endless court battles, which would ultimately leave them "fighting over the carcass." The lawyers suggested mediation and compromise. "When have the six of us ever agreed on anything?" Ridge bemoaned, but they were told to start small. For example, Stephanie dropped her claims so she got to keep Eric's office. Eric in return would regain a share of the company and control. The lawyers warned the specifics would take a while to hammer out, but said that was better than the courts and left to get started. Stephanie of course refused to move forward if Brooke was involved, but was forced to concede. "Just keep the bitch out of my sight," she concluded. Then, left alone with Taylor, she got in a bit of TTT (Taylor Therapy Time).

Brooke suggested that she step down to save Eric and Ridge the drama, but they wouldn’t hear of it. She concluded that she'd keep herself scarce and deal with some mommy stuff. That mommy stuff was giving Dante a reality check and asking him to step back. Dante was, of course, resistant, saying that Nick would return to Brooke if Bridget lost the baby.

Still at Forrester, Thorne wanted Ridge to join him as co-prez, but Ridge snidely responded that he'd rather watch Thorne fall than help hold him up. Stephanie, meanwhile, gave Eric and Ridge a new office — in the basement! She said they could put Brooke in the center and "share" her. When Stephanie bemoaned never being more than an "idle, well dressed" wife and mother, Eric shot back that she'd never shown any interesting in learning about the company. Then he kicked her out of his grand new office, saying he'll be happier there than he'd ever been with her.

Bridget set out for her prenatal exam, but didn't let Dante come with her. She worried that she was relying too much on him since he moved in and said it was time she started acting like the "single mother to be" that she was. Nick showed up just as the doctor suggested another ultrasound and Bridget let him stay. While they waited, she admitted she'd forgiven him and they were all a-smile when the doc arrived. The ultrasound left Nick beaming, but that didn't last long. The doctor dropped the bomb that there was a problem with the baby!

Taylor overheard Ridge and Brooke discussing their new fashion house. Brooke announced that she and Eric have annulled their marriage. "So, now once again you're unattached," Taylor noted and worried about the state of Nick and Bridget's union. Ridge guessed that Nick had sought out Taylor's advice. Brooke left and played Nick's CD in her car. "That's all you'll be," murmured a tearful Brooke. "Just memories."

Darla visited Thorne in his new office. He was curious about office sex, but she preferred to leave their lovemaking in the bedroom. Megan alerted Thorne that his parents were arguing, he wished Ridge would sketch for Forrester. Darla suggested her husband hire a new design team.

Stephanie was steamed to find Eric sitting in her office. He confirmed that he and Brooke had split, then presented Steph with a restraining order. "Now get the hell out of my office," he huffed. She called for security, he explained a new legal loophole gave him the right to be at Forrester Creations. Eric's new lawyer arrived and explained a judge had frozen all assets. Steph's attorney barged in and threatened to have Eric thrown in jail for fraud (keeping his ex-wife in the dark about the trust). Both sides angrily declared the legal ramifications each party would confront. The lawyers conferred privately then came to a decision as to who should run Forrester.

"Please don't give up on us," Nick beseeched Bridget, but she was hesitant to believe that his feelings for her mother changed overnight. He blamed Dante for causing strife in their relationship and urged Bridget to tear up the divorce papers. A peeved Dante grabbed the document. "You're a son of a bitch," he bellowed and strongly advised Bridget not to listen to her husband. Nick then pulled Bridget away for a private moment and vowed he would never disappoint her again. "I love you so much," Nick whispered to a tearful Bridget as she melted into his arms.

"You're wonderful," Eric murmured as he lauded Brooke for all of her attributes and accomplishments. He then toasted to the conclusion of their marriage and gave Brooke her freedom. "You're leaving me?" a stunned Brooke asked. Eric conceded they tried to do something wonderful for their daughter, but it was time to call it quits and removed their wedding bands. "Damn if I still don't love you," he smiled and they tenderly embraced.

At her boutique, Jackie brooded about Eric. She was annoyed when he showed up and announced he wanted to find a gift for somewhere dear to him. Assuming he meant Brooke, Jackie bristled when Eric chose a dress and instructed her to wrap it. He then made out a card and asked Jackie to read it. "Please forgive me, I am an idiot," she read out loud. "Jackie, let me love you the way you deserved to be loved," Eric asked for a second chance and a shocked Jackie was overjoyed. "You're going to have to pay," she warned and he agreed.
