Ridge and Taylor stressed over how Steffy's confrontation with Rick was going. Taylor worried that Rick will be able to talk his way out of the horrible things that Ridge had recorded. Ridge said they would just have to believe that Steffy will do the right thing and dump "that jerk." Taylor expressed her gratitude for Ridge going to such great lengths to protect their daughter and he hugged his ex. Ridge predicted that Rick won't give up too easily.

While looking for Ridge at Forrester Creations, Brooke ran into Donna and Katie. They explained to Brooke how Ridge and Taylor came by the bridal shower, desperately searching for Steffy. Donna observed that Brooke was worked up and asked if there was a problem. Brooke confessed that there was actually a time when Ridge didn't want to have sex. Donna said Eric is like that sometimes and she just gives him a special pill.

"Your parents set me up," Rick defended. "Please don't let anything stand in our way." Rick went on to claim that Ridge tricked him into saying the terrible things he did. Steffy played back the recording which definitely didn't put Rick in a good light. "That's just plain cruel," Steffy declared, then demanded to know what her dad did that could possibly invoke such disrespect and arrogance from Rick. He finally admitted that he said some things that he shouldn't have. "You have no respect for me!" Steffy blasted, then unleashed her fury on him. "You're not half the man my father is," she raged. "I definitely do NOT want to marry you." She told him to solve his issues and ordered him to leave but Rick insisted that he wasn't going anywhere. Rick confessed that his words were "sick" and that he was consumed with hatred of himself. He argued that her love would make him a decent man. "Give me one more chance," he begged.
