Storm and Ashley left Café Russe flashing back on their respective encounters with Ridge. Ash awkwardly tried to get out of Storm giving her a ride home. Storm ended up hitting the brakes and questioning Ashley about Ridge...and it was incredibly creepy. (Pardon the recapper while she has AMC's Michael Cambias flashbacks....) "Don't let him ruin everything," Storm said of Ridge. Ashley tried to temper the ookiness by laughing things off and then she tried to shoo creepy Storm away from her front door. "It's time to call it a night," she told him, gently. "You don't trust me, do you?" he asked. She kissed him goodnight to prove otherwise (that's going a bit far!) but he wasn't convinced. Ash was very relieved when Ridge called to check on her. As Storm spied on her from outside, he ratcheted the creep factor straight to "stalker."

Jackie accompanied Nick home, going on about the Spectra building and possibly taking the bathtub out of her office. Nick wanted to see results from her company and then he 'fessed up to his women problems. "It's good for the male ego," Jackie cracked. The women in question, meanwhile, were hashing out the whole Katie-kissed-Nick situation. "I never meant to hurt you," insisted Katie, assuring Bridget nothing was going on. "I feel like an idiot." Bridget actually took it fairly well, dubbing Katie's crush "cute." Downstairs, Nick described Katie to Jackie, who surmised, "You've fallen for the babysitter." "It's complicated," he said. No kidding, considering Katie and Bridget's conversation. "Let's not get catty and bitchy," Bridget sighed, not wanting Katie to get hurt...and not wanting to lose Nick to "Aunt Katie." Later, Bridget came downstairs and found Grandma Jackie ready to spoil Jack with presents. Bridget told Brooke and Nick's biggest cheerleader that she loves Nick. Then, she talked to Nick about Katie kissing him. "I want to keep this light and easy," she told him, admitting hearing about the kiss had hurt her. He apologized for hurting her but looked unsettled by her seriousness. Later, Bridget told Katie that she wasn't going to lose her second shot with Nick to anyone, especially Auntie K.

Brooke found an emotional Ridge in his office and thought he'd gone to Ashley about Storm. "Your secret is safe," Ridge lied to her, before saying Ash and Storm's second date worried the hell out of him. Brooke defended her brother's wacko tendencies yet again, saying Storm was "at a breaking point. He snapped." Ridge accused her of having "tunnel vision." (Not just about Storm, Ridge...) She accused him of being obsessed with Ashley, which he denied.
