Nick was surprised to find Taylor suddenly in a good mood. After he left, she stared at her booze-laden cup of coffee. Even when she strapped Jack into his stroller, the mug of tainted java kept calling out to her. Taylor wasn't pleased when Brooke showed up unannounced and suggested they put their rivalry behind them "once and for all" for Jack's sake. Taylor resented Brooke's interference and became even more upset. Brooke then smelled alcohol and sniffed Taylor's telltale coffee. "Have you been drinking?" Brooke gasped, but Taylor claimed she didn't partake. When Brooke left a voicemail for Nick that his wife was drinking again, Taylor became emotional and screamed at Brooke to get out. After Brooke supposedly departed, Taylor went into another room but Brooke slipped back in, grabbed Jack and ran off. Taylor discovered her child was gone and became hysterical when she saw Brooke drive off. "Come back here with my baby!" Taylor screeched.

Donna and Katie were surprised when Storm walked into Brooke's house. He explained that Dad was anxious to make amends with their mom and Storm felt in the way. He said he would get counseling in L.A. but wanted to thank Stephanie for his freedom. Once he learned she was in Chicago, Storm left to get rest after his long flight back from Paris. Katie pushed her sister to dump Eric before Stephanie returns. Eric called Donna and she asked him if they could talk. They agreed to meet later at his hotel suite. After hanging up, Katie offered to help Donna come up with a plan. Donna revealed that she lied to Eric that she is a sex addict so Katie suggested that Eric catch Donna with another man.

Jackie couldn't stop thinking about the state of Nick's marriage. When Nick arrived, Jackie could see that her son was tense and upset but he said everything is fine. Jackie predicted that Taylor would continue to be haunted by Brooke's connection to Jack but Nick defended his wife.

Donna lured Jake to Eric's hotel room and started making out with him on the sofa. "What the hell is going on here?" Eric demanded.
