Ridge continued to be angry about Rick and Steffy. Taylor suggested that he find a way to distract himself. He thanked Taylor for being there. They sat down for dinner and Taylor advised him to think of things that are positive, like how smart their daughter is. Ridge, who was beginning to get loopy on his pills, saw Taylor blur before him. "You always make sense," he told her. "I have my crazier side," she smiled. "I'm not looking at you very clinically right now," he assured her, and stated how beautiful he thinks she is. "You're almost glowing," he grinned, as Taylor's voice took on a disembodied quality.

Stephanie insisted to a furious Brooke that Taylor was better for Ridge. "It is so obvious to me that he's at peace and happiness when he's with Taylor," Steph stated. "You want him with Taylor, you always have," Brooke noted. Stephanie accused Brooke of being insecure and unstable. Ouch! "You're the problem, she's the solution," Stephanie said. Double ouch! She urged Brooke to give him some space.

Stephanie called Taylor to check in, and Taylor told her that things were going very well with Ridge. Steph advised her to spend the night since she was keeping Brooke from interfering. Brooke became angry when she realized it was Taylor on the phone. Brooke called Ridge, but got his voicemail.... Back at Ridge's place, he declared it a great night. Taylor agreed. "You look terrific," he complimented. Taylor went on about how they're so much alike and have a special bond. "I think it's time to go to the bedroom," he announced. She took his hand and led the way.... Stephanie asked Brooke if she'd take Ridge's side in the Ridge/Rick feud. Brooke insisted that her son is a good person. Steph again urged her to let Ridge have the night alone so he could collect his thoughts. Brooke gave in and stayed home.

Ridge began to stroke Taylor's face as she said that she's been waiting for this night for so long. Ridge rambled on about how, thanks to Taylor, he can now see the stars and smell the mountain air. They went out onto the terrace and admired a certain celestial body in the sky. Taylor said that she thinks of it as Phoebe's star. They discussed how Taylor had almost died when the twins were born, but Taylor insisted that she wasn't going to leave her children or their father. "Let's lie down," Ridge muttered. They returned to his bedroom where he flopped onto the bed. Taylor snuggled next to him. "My head is spinning," Ridge giggled. Taylor leaned over and kissed his face. She then began undressing him and their kisses turned more passionate.
