Backstage at the fashion show, Rick couldn't take his eyes off of Steffy, who was accompanied by Marcus. Meanwhile, a reporter approached Donna and Stephanie for a comment from "Mrs. Forrester" but Eric intervened and enthused that he was "invigorated" by his first line since his illness. After the journalist observed that it seemed that it was "out with the old and in with the new" with Eric's personal life, Steph suggested the nosy newsman get to his seat. Eric then gave a rousing speech to his employees and family that the swimwear line was "taking a risk" for Forrester Creations but encouraged everyone to "get out there and raise hell." After, Eric assured Stephanie that she wasn't being discarded and he was grateful for her being there. Steph remained a good sport by saying she was glad that he was alive and doing what he loves to do.

The fashion show began and Eric took the stage, where he introduced the new president. Rick came out and, as Steffy looked on adoringly, announced the "new" Forrester Creations. Models clad in surf wear strutted the runway but the designs only garnered lukewarm reactions. Donna began to panic to Owen that wearing Pamela's creations could make Eric a "laughingstock."

While sitting in the audience, Stephanie was surprised to see Pam sitting in another row, then admitted to Taylor that Eric seemed worried about how the fashion show was going. Taylor urged Stephanie to go backstage and comfort her ex. Steph did so and Eric appreciated her support. Owen approached and announced that Donna didn't want to wear the show-stopper, but Eric insisted that his wife do so. Owen went back to Donna and conveyed Eric's wishes to Donna who gave in.

Rick and Steffy became awkward when they bumped into each other backstage. Eric went back out and told the crowd that they would like the finale design which "came from the creative mind of my wife, Donna Forrester." Donna emerged on a surfboard and Pam was shocked to see it was her bikini being modeled. The crowd gave the show-stopper a standing ovation. After the fashion show, an angry Pam confronted Donna.

Ridge and Brooke slipped out of the fashion show and arrived at the beach for their secret wedding. Brooke was thrilled when she saw a huge heart with their names carved out in the sand.
