Thomas met up with Taylor at Forrester Creations and was anxious to come to work at the company. Thorne showed up and thought Thomas coming on board was a great idea. After Taylor and Thomas headed upstairs, Pam told Thorne that she wished Rick had been in his car when it was blown up.

Steffy joined Marcus, who was shooting hoops. She hoped they were still friends and acknowledged that she got caught up in a bad relationship with Rick. While they were throwing the basketball around, Marcus got the feeling that Steffy was still vulnerable to Rick but she insisted she was getting over him. Marcus promised to always be there for Steffy, especially if she ever needed help making Rick back off. She said she could handle Rick and gave Marcus a grateful hug.

Eric held a staff meeting about how Stephanie's presence at Jackie M is already impacting sales at Forrester Creations. Katie suggested they grab some headlines of their own and asked for suggestions in accomplishing this. Rick said that he and Steffy were always a good team and that they could meet to brainstorm but Brooke quickly shot down that idea. Ridge showed up and proposed that they show the world that the focus back is back on Forrester family "where it belongs." Everyone was surprised when Ridge opened the door so Taylor and Thomas could walk in. Ridge then announced it was time to bring Thomas into the business and Eric agreed. Thomas declared that he wanted to be at the company with his family but Rick angrily said there was "no way in hell" he would allow it. Brooke agreed with her son and Eric wanted to know why she and Rick were so against the idea. Eric, Donna and Katie were called away for an emergency, giving Ridge, Taylor and Thomas the opportunity to face off with Brooke and Rick. "Our son has every right to be a part of this company," Taylor pointed out and Ridge assured that Thomas is no longer a threat. Brooke and Rick weren't placated. Ridge listed all the terrible things that Rick has done to the family but Brooke accused Taylor of using Ridge in order to get Ridge back.
