Rick suggested to Taylor that after he reported in at Forrester Creations, he would get takeout from Café Russe so they could share a romantic evening in her home. He headed to Forrester and ran into Brooke, who tried to convince her son that getting involved with Taylor was a big mistake. "I'm a grown man," Rick pointed out but was upset when his mother said that Ridge was trying to talk sense into Taylor at that moment.

Eric scolded Pamela for scaring Donna with a toy gun. "That girl has no sense of humor," joked Pam. After Eric left, Pamela checked Donna's schedule to see that Ms. Logan had an appointment at the tanning salon. Pamela showed up at the salon and pretended to be interested in their services so the attendant explained how the spray tan worked (by standing naked in a private booth). Pam hid when Donna arrived and entered the booth. After Pam distracted the attendant, she locked Donna in her booth. When the tanning sprayers wouldn't turn off, Donna panicked and tried to get out but couldn't open the door. She started screaming as the sprayers continuously hissed.

Ridge visited Taylor, who knew he was going to admonish her about Rick. She went immediately on the defensive when Ridge gave his opinion about her latest involvement. "Phoebe would be devastated if she found out," Ridge reminded. "You've got to realize how wrong this is." Taylor noted that Rick was the only person who has given a damn about her lately but Ridge — sensitive as ever — kept harping on Phoebe's feelings. Rick entered in time to overhear Taylor tell Ridge that she was not in love with Rick. When Ridge wasn't convinced, Taylor stressed, "I'm not going to cross that line — ever." Rick slipped out of the house unnoticed but was visibly upset.
