Rick told Brooke that he was "learning a lot about myself" through therapy. He also admitted that he's still very much in love with Steffy and wanted her back. Brooke reluctantly gave Rick her support. After Rick headed out, Ridge came downstairs and revealed that "a stupid clerical error" invalidated their marriage. Brooke was upset that Ridge had known for a while but he said they now have an excuse to do their nups all over again. That seemed to make Brooke happy until Ridge mentioned that he was glad Rick and Steffy weren't together.

Bill arrived at Forrester to find Felicia, Thorne, Stephanie, Eric and Donna waiting for him. "What's it going to be?" Spencer asked. Eric insisted he wasn't selling. Bill then presented a mock cover of Eric behind bars but that didn't change his mind. After Bill once again outlined his extortion plot in specific detail, two Forrester lawyers entered. Stephanie gleefully informed Bill that she got every word of his blackmail description on tape. Steph threatened to send Bill to prison if he exposes Eric. Bill realized he lost this battle but warned that his fight with the Forresters is just getting started. After Bill left, Eric shared a warm moment with Stephanie and their kids. Donna stepped out of the office and taunted Bill that the "good guys won." Bill declared he isn't giving up on Forrester Creations or Donna. Later, when Eric and Stephanie were alone, he announced that he still loves her and kissed her. "Come back to me?" Eric asked his shocked ex.

Steffy reluctantly met Rick at a restaurant, where he asked for a second chance. She was willing but fretted how her father would react. Rick wanted to talk to Ridge right away so they went to Brooke's house together. Ridge was not happy to see his daughter walk in with Rick and angrily asked what's going on. Rick and Steffy said they were reuniting and Ridge screamed no. "It's not going to happen," Ridge insisted and instructed Brooke to voice her disapproval. When she hesitated, Ridge became enraged.
