Ridge, Thorne and Felicia gathered at the Forrester house and wondered why their mother called a family meeting. Stephanie showed up and told her kids that she is ready to move on with her life sans Eric. Steph then shocked them with the news that she is stepping down from Forrester Creations and is planning to suggest that Eric and Donna get married in the family home. Ridge, Thorne and Felicia assumed their mom was plotting something but she assured she isn't and they all vehemently refused to attend the wedding. Eric came in and overheard Stephanie urge her kids to unite as a family and be there for their dad. Another shocker came when Stephanie said she wanted to sell her share of the house to Eric. He asked if she was sure and she confirmed she had made up her mind.

Katie told Nick that Ashley would be lucky to have a man like Storm in her life. Nick didn't agree and posed how would Storm react if Ashley dumped him. Katie defended that her bother isn't violent, then decided to go talk with Ashley.

"I'm not a violent man," Storm professed to a frightened Ashley then he also admitted that he is falling in love with her. She grew increasingly uncomfortable and Storm explained how the rage he felt toward his dad and Stephanie led him to commit such a violent act. He then took out a gun and Ashley freaked out. "Is this the man you think I am?" he asked incredulously as Ashley cowered from him. She started to calm down when he talked tenderly about his sisters and how he never wanted to lose his self control again. From the front porch, Katie could see Storm with the gun and burst through the front door. "Put the gun down!" she screamed and tried to grab it. The firearm went off and Storm was horrified when his sister fell to the floor with a bloody chest wound.
