At Taylor's, Thomas was hopeful for their family's future, but Taylor didn't want him to get his hopes up. Out by the pool, a bikini-clad Steffy was making preparations for a celebratory barbecue and Ridge told her about the lousy state of Forrester. Steffy urged him to try and find a lasting happiness with her, Thomas and Taylor. Later, she and Thomas put the finishing touches on a romantic dinner for two for their parents and presented it to the duo. Taylor took Thomas aside and insisted Ridge wasn't ready, while Steffy told Ridge how great it was to have him home. "You guys used to look at each other with so much love," she sighed of Ridge and Taylor. Ridge hugged her and then asked the kids for time alone with their mom. Taylor apologized for the awkward gesture but Ridge said they might as well take advantage of the dinner. A very pleased Steffy and Thomas watched their parents slow-dance from behind a potted plant.

At Jackie M, Nick was freaking out about Jackie and Owen's wedding photos already hitting the magazines. "The press is definitely having a field day," Bridget noted, reading aloud about the "cougar" and "Mr. Jackie M." Right on cue, a beaming Jackie (lei-ed and everything) floated in. Nick went on the attack, blaming her nuptials on too many mai-tais. "Is that any way to talk about your new stepfather?" interrupted Owen. "We're family now. Call me 'Dad!'" Nick didn't think that was funny. At all. Jackie kissed her new hubby in a show of solidarity and got called into Nick's office for a private haranguing for her efforts. Bridget harangued Owen for his impulsive scheming as well! Jackie assured Nick she's in total control of everything and Owen assured Bridget that he loves his wife and would be the "best damn husband" he could be. Jackie wished Nick and Bridget happiness but wanted the same for herself. She playfully tied her lei around Nick's head and asked her son for a hug. Afterwards, she and Owen canoodled and her promised her their marriage was "for keeps." Bridget related a similar sentiment to a skeptical Nick and then sexily distracted him with her truly impressive leather boot planted in the center of his chest.
