Katie flashed back on all of Ridge's warnings about Nick and Brooke's connection. Nick caught her talking to herself and she brought up Brooke and him being "bonded for life." She also marveled at Taylor giving Jack up. Nick assured her they'd all be "one big, weird family."

At Chez Forrester, Eric's doctor gave him a glowing review and Felicia urged him to take it easy. Eric was determined to go spend some time at the office — and to call Donna without Thorne and Felicia lurking. Donna answered the call and hightailed it out of Brooke's to meet him. Thorne and Felicia tattled to Stephanie, who rather graciously let Donna in. (The kids were like, "WTH, Mom?!") Upstairs, Donna and Eric admitted they'd been thinking about each other and then began hashing out what happened while he was comatose. He showed her a photo of her and Owen together in Europe. She tried to explain her relationship with Owen. He still felt she'd gone "too far," insisting, "You betrayed me." Donna tried to counter this belief, but Eric stood firm, defining the different kinds of infidelity. Donna admitted she let him down, but "I didn't give him my heart." That has always been Eric's. Eric told her he'd made a decision, and she gasped: Was he leaving her? Going back to Stephanie?

Bridget and Brooke caught up, with Bridget admitting she felt "like I dodged a bullet." They hugged and Ridge came home, being all wonderful and stepfatherly when Bridget joked she was moving in. Alone, Ridge and Brooke discussed Nick and the custody situation. Ridge wanted them to be honest with their "feelings and concerns." And he needed some reassurance. After all, Nick and Brooke had seemed pretty cozy. Brooke said she'd try to be a little more sensitive. "Nick is never going to be a problem," she promised. "He better not be," said Ridge. She assured him she loved him and would be happy to declare it in front of "God and everybody." To that end, he showed her the wedding outfits he'd designed for Hope, RJ, and Jack. A moved Brooke assured him she wants to be his wife "again" and "forever."
