Stephanie and Eric assumed Felicia's recent blood test file meant she was starting treatment for her cancer. Stephanie tracked her down and asked about the blood test. Felicia confessed that it proved Domimick is Dante's son. Stephanie was furious and slapped her daughter after Felicia said she didn't wait over 40 years to have a DNA test like Mom did. A contrite Stephanie then hugged Felicia. "He's my grandson and I love him no matter who his father is," Steph affirmed.

While waiting for Felicia, Dante encountered Taylor. He declared he wasn't going to turn his son over to Nick. Taylor pointed out how tough single parenthood will be, and Dante agreed that Dominick will need a mother. "You're not using Dominick to get Bridget back, are you?" questioned Taylor, but Dante disagreed. He was more concerned that Nick would run to Brooke and ruin Bridget's life.

Bridget and Nick arrived at her dad's house for the memorial service. Family members soon followed and Nick admitted to Brooke that he couldn't get through this tragedy if it wasn't for Dominick. Stephanie came back and announced that Dominick was asleep in the guest house, but Bridget insisted he be present. Nick walked over to retrieve the baby and was peeved to find Dante. The Italian stud refused to let Nick go near the boy. "Dominick is not your son," Dante stated.

Stephanie told Eric she really went to San Diego to see a specialist regarding Felicia's condition. He said they need to respect their daughter's choices; Steph disagreed.

A crying Bridget watched Nick sing about Nicole. Bridget called Stephanie about arranging a memorial for Nicole.

Taylor broke the news to Felicia and Dante that Dominick's father is Dante! Felicia didn't believe it, but Taylor assured her the results are legit. Felicia was devastated and didn't want Nick and Bridget to find out the truth. Dante pleaded with her to let him be a father to Dominick. Felicia stopped him from going to Nick and Bridget's. Instead, she called Nick and asked him to bring her son over to her. Bridget woke up and told Nick it wasn't a good idea to bring the baby out in the cold, but he convinced her it needed to be done. Home alone, Bridget cuddled with Nicole's blanket and cried. She embraced a picture of her family.

Stephanie popped in to see Taylor to tell her about the memorial service. Steph saw the file on Felicia's medical work. Taylor told her friend that the information in the file was confidential. When Steph wanted to rush to talk to her daughter, Taylor stopped her, saying other people were involved.

Nick arrived to see Felicia with Dominick. Felicia broke down once Nick left. Dante walked in from the other room and beamed when he held his son.

Bridget was surprised when Nick brought Dominick home. She suggested the boy be put to bed right away so she didn't have to deal with him. Nick reminded her that their daughter will always be a part of them, but focusing on Dominick now could help them heal. "I know I'm supposed to accept what happened," Bridget sobbed. "I just have these moments where I'm so consumed by loss.... I don't know if I have room for anything else." She then voiced her doubts that she could take care of Nick's son. Dominick started crying and Bridget asked to hold him.

"I already know who my son's father is," insisted Felicia, but Dante warned he wasn't backing down. Taylor offered to use her connections at the hospital to put a rush job on a paternity test and Felicia finally consented. They headed to the hospital where DNA samples were collected from Felicia and Dante. As they waited for the results, Felicia suspected Dante wanted to be the dad so he could raise Dominick with Bridget. Taylor then appeared with the test results. "There's no question who the father is," she announced.

"Part of you still wants back what we had," Ridge challenged Brooke, but she wasn't sure she wanted to open herself up to potential pain again. Ridge also mentioned that he didn't want Brooke to be come back to him just because she couldn't be with Nick. But he vowed they would reconcile and asked for Brooke's help to, "make it right." They embraced and then shared a dance.

Before Dante could blab to Nick, Felicia started hyperventilating. She claimed Dante was upsetting her, so Nick tossed him out. "What happened?" Nick asked, but Felicia stayed mum. She switched the subject to Bridget and if she were still up to the challenge of raising Dominick. Nick assured her that, despite the loss their daughter, he and his wife were both ready. Felicia was touched when Nick wanted to call her son Dominick Forrester Marone.

Brooke entered her bedroom to find Ridge had arranged a romantic setting of flowers and candles. Frustrated, she started blowing candles out when he gifted her with sleazy lingerie. "You still have no clue what I need from you," she groused. "Just take your lingerie and leave." Ridge urged her to read his Valentine, but the cheap sentiment only riled her even more. He then dumped a bunch of cards on her bed so she could pick out the right words. "Tell me that there's some hope for you and me," he begged.

Back at home, Taylor poured herself a glass of wine. Hector called to ask how she's doing. "I'm adjusting," Tay said, sounding as carefree as she could. She then hung up when the doorbell rang and opened her door to a shaken Dante. "Dominick could be my son," he blurted. After recounting his wild night with Felicia, Dante groaned, "Raising a child by myself right now is the last thing I want to be doing." He asked Taylor to help him uncover the truth. They headed over to the Forrester house and Felicia was furious to see Dante again. "For the last time, drop this," she ordered, but Dante insisted on a paternity test. Taylor tried to mediate and Felicia seemed to finally listen.

Felicia was perplexed by Dante's interest in Dominick. "I'm concerned for the boy, maybe more than you know," he announced then recalled their night of passion when they met in Nice. Maybe Dominick could be his son, Dante posed. Felicia reminded him that they used protection, but Dante said there was only one condom and they made love for hours (okay, TMI!). Felicia refused to consider the paternity possibility, but Dante insisted on a test to determine who is the father of her son. "He's not some guy I met one drunken night in France," an unglued Felicia raged, then ordered Dante to leave.

Taylor offered comfort to a grieving Bridget, who then gave up her own consolation over the doc's marriage crashing. Bridget was surprised when Taylor popped open a bottle of wine and began indulging. Bridget revealed how she told Nick to go be with Brooke now that there is no baby to hold them together, but Taylor assured her that Nick loves his wife. Bridget feared the loss of her daughter could cause her to resent Dominick.

Brooke showed up at Nick's boat per his request. Nick explained Bridget's advice, but Brooke urged him to stay true to his wife. She also pointed out that parenting Dominick will help his marriage. Brooke and Nick then exchanged their usual sappy longing looks and she left. Nick headed over to pick up Dominick from Felicia. Dante observed how much the baby meant to Nick. "There is something you should know," Dante announced.
