Nick paid Brooke a visit. Brooke informed Nick that she's back with Ridge and that they're going to be a family again. "For good this time," Brooke declared to Nick, who shared the good news that the baby has developed his own immune system. Ridge came downstairs and put Nick in his place, declaring that he and Brooke are moving on with their lives and instructing Nick to leave Brooke alone. After seeing Nick out, Brooke asked Ridge to be more sympathetic. Ridge bristled at the thought and remained hard-nosed where Nick was concerned. Sensing Ridge's agitation, Brooke tried to reassure Ridge of her love and suggested that Nick's baby need not be a complication in their relationship.

While preparing to leave the hospital, a bitter Taylor insinuated to Bridget that maybe she had an intentional hand in the egg mix-up. Bridget explained how stressed she's been over the whole ordeal. A distraught Taylor demanded to know how such a mix-up could have possibly occurred. Bridget rehashed how the comedy of errors took place and apologized for what happened. "Don't be sorry if you're not responsible," Taylor quipped, and continued her insinuations against Bridget. "Do you think I wanted this to happen to you?!" Bridget cried. "Not to you, and not to my mother!" Bridget said how she could relate to Taylor's situation because of what happened to Bridget when Nicole died, and gave Taylor an emotional pep talk to engage her baby and move forward with her family. Nick joined Taylor at the hospital and reassured her that the three of them would be a family together, as they prepared to leave baby Jack in the hospital nursery as she got discharged. "Jack Hamilton Marone is OUR little boy," Nick encouraged Taylor, as they hugged.
