In the hospital, Taylor reeled from the news that she gave birth to Brooke's baby. Brooke explained that the hospital had made a clerical error and that her eggs were donated for research. "A clerical error?!" an incredulous Taylor cried. Brooke explained to Taylor that her baby is all hers, that no matter what egg was used, the boy belongs to Nick and Taylor and she can’t change that. Nick assured her of the same thing and comforted his wife with a hug. Taylor thanked Brooke for donating her marrow, and asked if years from now, Brooke would wonder if things could have been different, but Brooke was certain that this did not change things for her. Brooke left, and Nick assured Taylor that everything would be okay.

Eric berated Stephanie for her role in Brooke's rape, while Donna hid on the terrace. La Forrester begged for Eric's forgiveness and asked him to not let what happened come between them.

Donna came out of hiding and asked who makes Eric happy — her or Stephanie?
