Ridge hugged Steffy as he entered Taylor's home. Taylor walked into the room with Thomas, and she told Ridge that she had told the kids about Brooke and Ridge breaking up to spare Ridge the trouble.

Ridge said that the kids had called him because they had something they wanted to show him. Thomas was carrying a box, and said that it was the last of his grandmother's belongings. He announced that she was moving to Pam's place so the guest room was available, and they wanted to show it to Ridge. Thomas pointedly asked Ridge to return home and move into the guest room.

Ridge said that he didn't want to make a big decision too soon. He thanked Thomas, Steffy, and Taylor. Taylor said that Phoebe would be very happy to see them all together. Thomas teased Steffy about cooking, and said they would make breakfast, and they went off to the kitchen.

Taylor told Ridge that his family was there to support him. Ridge said that he had made a lot of mistakes in his life, but he never thought he would make the mistake of cheating on Brooke. Taylor said that Brooke finally understood the real issue-that Ridge needed to get over Phoebe's death. Taylor said that she realized that she had been wrong for saying that Brooke was shallow and selfish. It was obvious that Brooke really loved Ridge to give him up. Ridge admitted that he would always love Brooke.

Taylor said that she shared Ridge's pain with him. She hugged him and said that she wished she could take all the pain away. She didn't want to put any pressure on him. She wanted him to take care of himself. If he wanted to be alone at the guesthouse, she didn't want to interfere, but she wanted him to know that he could always return home. Ridge said that he needed to be alone for a while.

At Brooke's house, Stephanie stood on Brooke's doorstep. Brooke encouraged Stephanie to "gloat away," because she knew she wouldn't get rid of Stephanie until she had said what she wanted to say. Stephanie said that she was wrong about Brooke. Stephanie added that she wanted to thank Brooke for loving Ridge enough to let him go. Stephanie said that Brooke and Ridge had an impossible situation. Ridge would never forgive or forget about Phoebe, or Rick's involvement with her.

Stephanie thanked Brooke for being unselfish. Brooke told Stephanie she didn't need Stephanie's pity. She had been dealing with Stephanie's insults most of her life. Brooke said she had been in love with Ridge most of her life. Stephanie wondered where Rick had gone. Brooke looked confused, and Stephanie said that Brooke needed someone to be with her.

She reminded Brooke that she, like Brooke, was a mother who loved her son and had also lost the love of her life. Brooke said that she wasn't angry. She felt she had to hold herself together for her children. She couldn't think about the past, and she didn't want to think about the future, because there was nothing there. She said everything in her past was gone. There would never be another man for her. That part of her life was over.

Stephanie told her that wasn't true. Brooke became philosophical. She said that when she was 20, she wasn't in a hurry to do anything and didn't know what she wanted. At 30, she felt strong and happy. At 40, she felt that she had found something wonderful right in her own hands, but it was gone. It was someone else's turn, and her chance at happiness with Ridge was gone.

Stephanie agreed and said that Brooke would be all right. Brooke smiled a sad smile. Stephanie suggested Brooke take a long shower, then put on some makeup and a beautiful dress to start the day. Brooke agreed, and she went upstairs. Stephanie watched, and told herself that Brooke really loved her son and she felt sad for Brooke. After all the years that she had tried to get Brooke out of her life, she felt sorry for Brooke.

In Hawaii, Nick was sitting down to breakfast in the hotel restaurant just a few tables away from Jackie, who was hidden from view by some tall potted plants. Owen entered and noticed Nick, but Owen remained hidden. Owen distracted Jackie and told her they needed to go to the beach. He encouraged Jackie to leave with him.

Bridget met Nick in the restaurant and saw Owen and Jackie leaving. Bridget had just finished her yoga class, and told Nick to go up to the room. She suggested that she would have breakfast delivered. Nick complained that the "yahoos" in the room next door had made too much noise.

While Jackie headed for the beach, Owen checked with the concierge about wedding plans. Bridget saw him, and told him that she didn't like keeping secrets from her husband. She told Owen that he had promised to get out of Hawaii. Owen said he was working on it, and he started walking away. Bridget asked him to keep his bed away from the wall. He smirked and left, never telling Bridget that he was planning to marry Jackie before leaving Hawaii.

At the beach, Owen pressured Jackie to marry him. She said that weddings were a headache to plan, but he insisted that all the planning was done, and all she had to do was show up. Jackie asked when, and Owen said that he was ready as soon as she finished her drink. Jackie didn't want to rush, but Owen kept up the pressure. He said that he was insulted that she was brushing him off.

He said that Nick would never treat him fairly unless he was her husband. Owen said that Nick treated him as if he provided a service like a personal trainer. He told Jackie that he wanted to be more, and he begged Jackie to give him a place in her life, so that Nick couldn't touch them.

Nick went back to his room to call the office and check in with Clarke about Jackie's whereabouts. Clarke announced that he had hacked into Owen's email, and he discovered that Owen purchased airline tickets, but he couldn't find out where. Clarke asked if he was in charge at Jackie M, but Nick said that Stephanie was in charge.

When Bridget returned to the room, Nick said that he was going for a swim. Bridget worried that Nick would run into Owen, so she started taking Nick's clothes off, and asked him to reconsider the swim.
