While waiting at the police station for a forensics report on the gun found in Stephen's hotel room, he angrily denied that he shot Stephanie. The report came back and concluded that it was the same gun used in the shooting. Even though the firearm was wiped clean of prints, Charlie clucked to his dad, "Looks like we found our man, Pops." Lt. Baker reminded Stephen of his contentious history with the victim and booked him. Storm stood by as his father was fingerprinted and a mug shot taken.

Eric, Ridge and Pamela reviewed all the suspects with Stephanie. "Maybe Stephanie should make a list of all the people who disliked her," Pam suggested. "Still, that would take all night." Steph was convinced the culprit was Donna but couldn't deny the possibility that Stephen, Nick or Jackie could've pulled the trigger. When Ridge and Pamela were out of the room, Stephanie thanked Eric for letting her convalesce at home after she's released. Eric revealed that he was checking into a hotel; Stephanie objected, but he assured Pam would be there to help with her recovery.

Brooke arrived at her father's hotel suite to learn from Donna and Katie that their father had been arrested. Brooke and Donna believed in Stephen's innocence, but Katie wasn't so convinced. She then accusingly questioned her sisters, upsetting Brooke and Donna. Katie then apologized for doubting them.

Lt. Baker showed up at Stephanie's hospital room and asked her to identify the gun. Steph confirmed that it looked liked the same one she gave Brooke. Lt. Baker explained that the gun was found in Stephen's room and he was arrested. Stephanie was surprised when Stephen called to profess that he didn't attack her. "That shooter is still out there," Logan warned. After hanging up, Steph wondered, "Who really hates me that much that they would want to see me dead?"

Nick got upset when Clarke pointed out that Jackie mysteriously leaving town right after Stephanie's shooting looked awfully suspicious. Nick ordered Clarke to can it, then Ridge showed up. "Where were you and Jackie when my mother was shot?" he angrily demanded, but Nick told his brother to back off. Eric called Ridge with the news that Stephen had been booked. "Looks like the dressmaker was wrong," Nick taunted, although there was no masking his relief that an arrest has been made.
