Ridge peered through the blinds as Rick and Steffy pulled back from their embrace. Steffy kept insisting she and Rick couldn't be together until Ridge approved and Rick kept making his pitch. Ridge bitterly noted his daughter was falling for it and walked away. Steffy, meanwhile, worried that the stress that Ridge was under could lead to dire consequences and begged Rick not to do this to her. Rick silently walked away. Jake noted both Rick and Ridge's departures. Rick and Ridge ended up on the roof (not the Sky Lounge, the actual roof) and Steffy told a relieved Brooke that Rick's not joining the Army after all. Neither of them were relieved when they realized Rick and Ridge might be rasslin'. Up top, Rick and Ridge had a spat over Rick's intention to join the Army. Jake told Steffy and Brooke he'd seen Ridge and some other guy head up the stairwell. Rick and Ridge continued to argue and Rick insisted Steffy would be his. Ridge lunged at Rick and when Rick sidestepped, he accidentally went over the ledge. Rick struggled to keep him from falling.

At Chez Marone, Jackie kept railing about stopping Nick and Katie's wedding, much to everyone's horror. Bridget assured everyone that she's put this all behind her and has no interest in stopping the nuptials. As Beth and Jackie got into it, Katie and Bridget got into it, too. So much for putting it behind her! "My patience is beginning to wane, because you keep pushing my buttons," Bridget snarled. Nick asked everyone to adjourn to neutral corners and then blasted his mom. Jackie insisted he knew what she'd said was the truth. "Marrying Katie is a mistake," she said, insisting he doesn't love her. Nick accused Jackie of "controlling" him, and said the wedding would continue and swore Jackie would give them her blessing. A shaken Jackie offered Katie a halting apology for her rudeness and so did Bridget. Katie realized this wasn't the wedding day she'd envisioned and asked to talk to Nick alone. Everybody (including the minister) departed and a devastated Katie went upstairs.
