"Thomas will not be working here at Forrester Creations," proclaimed Brooke and Rick totally agreed but Ridge and Taylor insisted their son wasn't a threat. Brooke continued to object and Ridge explained that "we have to restore confidence in Forrester Creations." Rick stormed out and Taylor insisted that Ridge not back down and not let the Logans take over. "Damn it, Taylor, just stay out of it," huffed Brooke. Ridge asked Thomas to step out of the room and once he did, Taylor argued that Brooke was so dead set against Thomas working at Forrester because he was Taylor's son. "Rick works here, Thomas will too," Ridge declared.

"You're something else," praised Steffy to Marcus as they both agreed about being victims of Rick's machinations. Rick approached and asked to speak to Steffy alone. Marcus refused to leave at first but Steffy assured that she could "handle Rick." After Marcus reluctantly left, Rick claimed he needed closure and insisted that, no matter what he said or did, he still truly loves her. "I wanted to build a future with you," he noted but she pooh poohed his so-called good intentions. He begged for another chance but she said she "was not going back there." She tried to return his engagement ring but he refused to take it. "I was never really worthy of you," Rick summed up.

Ridge got called away to a meeting and Brooke and Taylor continued their argument about Thomas. Brooke accused Taylor of teaming up with Stephanie but Taylor insisted she simply wanted her son to have his rightful place in the company. She also pointed out how she and Ridge have been getting closer lately. A riled Brooke called Taylor "desperate" while Doc shot back with "clingy." When Brooke started throwing her wedding vows in Taylor's face, Taylor got fed up and yelled, "I've got news for you Brooke, there is no marriage!"
