Fearing Pam will harm Eric, a terrified Donna ordered Stephanie to leave. Steph offered to help but Donna got even more scared and urged her rival to just stay out of it. After Stephanie left, Pam called Donna and warned her not to go anywhere near Eric. Donna shared that she had to at least go to his office to sign their divorce papers and Pam growled this will be the last time the Hot Tamale will see her Honey Bear.

Taylor kissed Ridge, who was stunned by the smooch. "What are you doing, Doc?" he asked. She explained it was something she wanted to do for a long time. When Ridge pointed out that they were marrying different people, Taylor got embarrassed and told him to forget the kiss. He admitted he couldn't and she realized that he felt something too. Ridge emphasized that he is marrying Brooke but she reminded him that he will also be sharing a life with Jack and Nick. "I love you and I'm not apologizing for that," Taylor admitted. Ridge asked what she planned to do about Rick and she said that she won't be able to marry him because she wants to be with Ridge. He confessed that he was feeling all warm and fuzzy about Taylor but insisted his future is with Brooke. Taylor said she will be waiting for him when everything with Brooke falls apart. She kissed Ridge again and slinked out. Taylor returned home and Rick could immediately tell something was wrong. "I can't marry you," she sobbed.

Eric was staring forlornly at his divorce papers when Stephanie arrived. He was peeved when Donna showed up with Owen, who explained that, as a paralegal, he was representing her interests. Donna was presented with the divorce papers and Eric declared he is keeping the house. When Donna was reluctant to sign, Eric grabbed the pen, added his John Hancock and ordered her to follow suit. She finally complied and Eric stormed out of the room. Donna tearfully asked if Stephanie enjoyed that scene but she said she didn't want to win Eric this way. Stephanie then explained that she wanted to find Pam but needed Donna's help. Donna asked why she should trust Stephanie who countered that Donna just may get Eric back after all. "So I suggest you help me," Steph advised.
