Stephanie was the first to greet Eric when he woke from his coma. She explained what happened to him and said she'd call the doctors, the children and Donna with the news that he was awake. She kissed him. "I'll call Donna right now," Stephanie promised. Just then, an on-the-run Pam called Stephanie's cell phone. Steph offered to meet her sister. "Donna should pay the price. She doesn't deserve him," a frantic Pam cried, begging her sister for forgiveness. Pam remained convinced that the police wouldn't find her. Stephanie begged Pam not to hang up, but she did.

Brooke continued to be horrified at the news of Katie's pregnancy. "You are carrying (Bridget's) husband's baby," Brooke screamed at her sister. Katie tried to explain that Nick made her feel alive in what she thought were her final days. Brooke wanted to talk to Nick, but Katie didn't think that was a good idea. Brooke didn't think Bridget would be able to accept this, "no matter what Nick tells her." Katie didn't think her situation was impossible, thought she did note that her pregnancy was a high-risk one, for both her and the baby. "It's a risk I'm willing to take," Katie admitted, adding she hopes Bridget will find it in her heart to forgive her. "I don't know if that's possible," Brooke warned, listing all of the wonderful things Bridget had done for Katie. "This could possibly be the end of her world," Brooke worried.

Meanwhile, Bridget and Nick enjoyed a romantic evening out (Bridget being blissfully unaware that her world was about to crash all around her). She asked her preoccupied husband what he was thinking about. "It feels so good to be here in your arms," she cooed, cuddling up with him. Nick said he had something to tell her, but she wanted to keep the focus on making love. Nick reminded Bridget how much he loves her. "But sometimes we end up hurting the person we love the most. There is something I have to tell you," he insisted. "This is serious," she realized. "Something happened on Catalina," Nick began. Bridget said nothing.

Donna was torn between Owen, who she was kissing passionately, and Eric, who she believed was still in a coma. "We can make each other so happy," Owen breathed. "I do want to be with you," Donna admitted, "but I'm still Eric's wife." Donna and Owen began to disrobe as a shadowy figure approached the door to the bedroom. Stephanie saw the couple in bed and was horrified. She returned to Eric's bedside to find him sleeping but still conscious. Images of Donna and Owen in bed replayed in her mind and rage covered her face. "You've taken your first steps back — back to me, back to our life together," Stephanie said as she kissed Eric again.
