Jackie told Bridget she knows that Brooke is Jack's biological mother. Bridget conceded it was only a matter of time until Jackie knew. Jackie said she doesn't believe in coincidences. She argued that Brooke and Nick belong together, and reminded Bridget that she herself let go of Nick because she knew that he and Brooke were meant to be. Bridget declared that Nick and Brooke's connection is in the past. After Bridget left, Jackie made a promise to baby Jack that she won't rest until his dad is with "his real mommy."

Ridge welcomed Brooke home with a big hug. Brooke said it had been a long day, but Ridge figured out there was something wrong. She told Ridge about her argument with Taylor and finding alcohol in Taylor's cup. Ridge was stunned that Taylor "would go anywhere near alcohol." He suggested to Brooke that it's not her place to get involved in Nick and Taylor's issues. Brooke said she just can't pretend that Jack doesn't exist. Brooke and Ridge disagreed over whether Brooke did the right thing by taking baby Jack from the house. "Maybe I saved a life today," Brooke mused. "The child cannot be a part of our lives," warned Ridge, reminding Brooke of how close the two of them are to everything they've always wanted.

Taylor and Nick argued over what the real problem is — Taylor's drinking relapse or Brooke's involvement in their lives. "You know more than anyone that alcohol isn't the answer," yelled Nick. Taylor conceded that and took full responsibility, but told Nick he needs him to support and defend her now, not Brooke. Nick said he wants to help her, but pouring a drink in front of their child crossed a line. He warned her that he's reaching a breaking point. Nick told Taylor he feels like he's losing her and that she's losing herself, and he doesn't know how to stop it. "Do you want me to leave so you can pick up your life with Brooke?" Taylor challenged. Nick said Taylor's rivalry with Brooke gets in the way of everything. He vowed he'll continue loving her and working on their marriage if she can love their son unconditionally. Nick assured Taylor he knows she can do it. "Love the boy," Nick asked, telling Taylor "I love you." "I love you," Taylor tearfully replied. "I'm here for you forever," she pledged, as the two hugged.
