"I won't do it!" Donna groused to Brooke about Stephanie's offer. Donna revealed that Eric proposed and urged Brooke to find another way to help their brother. Storm entered the room and asked what his sisters were talking about. Brooke recalled the sacrifices that Storm has made for Donna, which made her feel guilty. After Storm left the room, Donna pointed out how much Eric would be hurt if she dumped him. "He'll be miserable, Brooke. I am not going to let that woman control me."

Felicia overheard her father planning a romantic getaway at the Big Bear cabin. She assumed it was with her mother but he revealed that he asked Stephanie for a divorce. Felicia got upset and tried to talk Eric out of taking such drastic action. "I'm marrying Donna," he announced, which upset Felicia and she admitted that Donna was the type of girl she despised in high school. Eric conceded that Stephanie was hurt and he wasn't the one to offer comfort. Felicia bitterly said she would do it and that her mother wasn't his concern anymore.

Stephen wasn't happy that Stephanie showed up and blabbed that she knew Storm was her shooter. Stephanie explained that she wanted Eric back and Stephen snarked if she was going to tempt Eric back she should do it with "your womanly ways?" Steph then detailed the deal she pitched to Brooke to make that happen. She suspected that Donna would come to Stephen for advice and La Forrester urged him to convince his daughter to leave Eric. Stephen refused so Stephanie called Brooke and gave one hour for her to "bring Donna on board."
