Steffy pulled back from hugging Rick, thanking him for his thoughtful gift. He assured her there were no strings attached and went to leave, but she stopped him, telling him "There's still a lot of good in you." He said he still wants a future with her and she said there was only one way: "Make things right with my dad." She laid down the law, on her own terms. Rick swore he'd earn back "your love, your trust, your respect." Nearby, Brooke assured Ridge that Rick and Steffy were finito. Of course, a concerned Taylor burst in to tell Ridge that wasn't the case. Brooke tried to downplay Rick and Steffy's conversation. "It was all intimate!" said Taylor. And Ridge noted Brooke was already excusing her son, and their fragile agreement unraveled. This is what Steffy walked in on. Explaining the tete-a-tete, she wanted to show them the DVD. Ridge wasn't enthused, but Steffy made them watch. Ridge wasn't moved; he was furious! He said Rick was using her sister's memory to lure Steffy back! Brooke called it a "tribute," and Ridge snapped that she was defending Rick. He reiterated to Steffy that she's never going to see Rick again. "This is the last straw!" Steffy hurriedly apologized, swearing, "It's over" and "I get it." She rushed out in tears and an appalled Brooke left. Alone with Taylor, Ridge noted that all of Brooke's promises about Rick meant nothing. When he began to regret marrying Brooke, Taylor blurted out the big news: "You and Brooke are not married!"

Donna stormed into Bill's office to give him a piece of her mind. Sparks flew as she demanded he "pull the plug" on the ex-Mrs. Forrester's vitriolic blogs! An amused Bill liked a "passionate woman" and agreed to hear her out. He also flirted shamelessly but Donna warned him he couldn't distract her with flattery. She kept trying to appeal to him, saying how detrimental Steph was to Eric and the company. Bill mused that he could turn things around ‹ with the right motivation. If he saw more of Donna's feisty side and less of her clothing, that is. "I'm married," Donna said, tersely. Bill backed her up to the wall, giving her the sexy eyes.
