Nick wrapped his arms around Katie and gazed into her eyes. They both admitted to their mutual, albeit guilt-ridden, desire. Tears streamed down her face as he professed his love. Of course, she brought up that one little problem: Bridget. Nick admitted that his bride is special to him. (We're sure she'll be thrilled to hear it!) Katie begged Nick to promise he won't say anything to Bridget, at least until they know the baby is going to survivie. More weeping ensued.

Brooke found Ridge moping in his former office. He griped that though she was correct about what's right for Eric, she's "dead wrong" about what's right for the company. Talk turned to Steffy and Marcus. "I can tell you what they better not be doing," he said. Cut to the young pair getting hot and heavy on a chaise. As Ridge complained that they don't know Marcus well and that he might be after the family fortune, Marcus took a break from smooching to ponder how he can win Ridge's approval. Well, at least Brooke is ready to cut her nephew some slack. She gently reminded Ridge of last summer's debacle with Rick and Phoebe, which culminated with Ridge getting violent with her son and hard feelings all around. Some kissing and cooing lightened Ridge's mood, but he insisted that if Marcus didn't break things off with Steffy as Ridge had told him to do, the young man would be in trouble.

Back on the chaise of seduction, Steffy and Marcus professed their love and kissed.
