Storm called the police to file charges against those who kidnapped Donna. He then found an agitated Brooke in her office and she railed against Stephanie's treatment of Donna.

While searching for Donna, Eric heard a noise that sounded like a gunshot. He came across Katie and asked if she heard anything. Katie was acting weird and claimed she didn't hear a thing. Eric asked if she was all right but Katie seemed very distracted (or maybe even in shock).

Donna found Stephanie laying face down and turned her over. Donna was shocked to see that Stephanie was covered in blood and screamed. Stephanie came to long enough, saw Donna's face and passed out again. Eric entered the showroom and called for an ambulance. "What in God's name have you done?" Eric bellowed to Donna, who said she found Stephanie unconscious. News of the shooting spread through the building and Brooke, Storm, Stephen, Thorne and Felicia converged in the showroom (Nick showed up a little later). A hysterical Felicia blamed Donna and attacked her. Stephen sneered that it's just like the Forresters to blame a Logan. Lt. Baker arrived and said no one could leave until he conducts tests for gun powder on everyone's hands. Stephen admitted that there was "no one I hated more" than Stephanie Forrester. Lt. Baker and his cop son Charlie questioned the Logans, who all claimed they had nothing to hide.

As the Forrester Creations security locked down the building, a guard spotted Jackie and called out for her to stop but she ran out the front door. Ms. Marone rushed back to Spectra and excitedly told Clarke that no one messes with her, not even "Stephanie, bloody Forrester." Jackie then hurriedly packed her things and Clarke asked when she would be back. "I haven't the foggiest," Jackie exclaimed and rushed out the door.

At the hospital, Bridget examined Stephanie while Eric, Thorne and Felicia anxiously waited. "She's going to be fine," Felicia sobbed. Bridget came out and said that Stephanie was stable enough to go into surgery to have the bullet removed. The three Forresters gathered around their fallen matriarch and rallied for her to hang on. "Don't you let everything we have together end like this," Eric begged. When he kissed his wife on the forehead, Stephanie suddenly opened her eyes and struggled to talk.
