Morning had come to LA, and a jubilant Donna and Eric cuddled in his office. Donna noted he had a lot of history with Stephanie and his family, and he told her they had history, too. Donna beamed. Cue flashbacks of Donna and Eric's Greatest Hits. But then Donna noted how their relationship hadn't been easy. Still, she'd rather have a lifetime of challenges than spend one more day without him. Eric was proud of how she'd handled his time in a coma. They kissed and went their separate ways. As Eric chilled on the roof, Ashley Abbott called from the airport. They traded "I miss you"s and Ash told him she was officially resigning from Forrester. She said she was "reinventing" herself, picking up Abby, and moving back to Genoa City. Eric was surprised to hear that she's also hooked back up with old flame Victor Newman. "You keep in touch," he told her, passing on his greetings to the Mustache.

Elsewhere, Katie told Owen to back off from Donna. At home, depressed Stephanie flipped through an album of photos and Thorne dropped by to see her. "Mother, he can't do this!" he railed of Eric choosing Donna. Stephanie appreciated his love and support and tried to get her son to simmer down. Thorne vowed he wouldn't let Eric get away with this and hugged his mother. "If my sister wanted to be with you, she would be," Katie told Owen, who insisted Donna's life was in "limbo." Peeved Thorne went back to staring at Owen's video feed and learned that the models he'd wanted for callbacks were ready. Katie dropped by to see Stephanie and talk about Donna and Owen, as Thorne made another pitch to Eric about him cleaving to Mom and only Mom. Furious Thorne demanded he take another look at the security feed for Owen's office...where it appeared Owen and Donna were talking. Stephanie wondered if Katie was trying to convince her to give up the fight for Eric. Katie insisted she was doing no such thing. Eric insisted Donna and Owen weren't going to get up to any hanky panky, but as he and Thorne kept watching, the duo started passionately making out. Eric freaked, shoving things off his desk and turning red with fury.
