Ridge said he could remedy that problem and momentarily left the office. He returned with a garment bag and announced it was her wedding dress that he personally designed. She was moved. Ridge said he did it because she is Brooke's sister. Katie excitedly scampered out of the office so she could try the dress on. She came back and tearfully declared that the dress is perfect, and gave Ridge a grateful hug.

Sandy (now with lighter hair) arrived at Jackie M to meet Nick and Bridget. The ladies connected over yoga and dieting, so Nick asked what motivated Sandy to become a surrogate. She explained that she loved children, plus she wanted to give her life a higher purpose. Sandy stepped out for a moment. Bridget was won over but Nick suggested they interview other candidates. Bridget didn't think they could find anyone as qualified as Sandy but reluctantly agreed to continue with the search. Nick called in Sandy, who said, "I would be honored to carry your baby." When the Marones started to explain that they wanted to look over other possible surrogates, Sandy gave a heart-tugging speech about how Nick and Bridget would make perfect parents. They decided right then and there to hire Sandy.
