At the dinner party, Thomas looked on as Dani joined Karen and Caroline outside on the patio. Karen was adamant that they would do things her way. Despite her daughter's pleas, Karen insisted upon keeping her family life private that evening.

After dinner, the others put away the dishes, and Thomas asked Caroline if he'd done something wrong. Caroline said her mother wasn't used to her having a boyfriend over. Thomas smiled at the "boyfriend" label and roped her in for a small kiss. Caroline stepped away to appeal to Dani. Though Dani sympathized with Caroline, Dani said nothing would change Karen's mind that night.

Thomas asked Jarred if Thomas had done anything wrong. Caroline approached, figuring that Thomas must have felt confused. Karen watched as Thomas shrugged off the awkwardness.

Over dessert, Thomas complimented Dani's pie, and Caroline said that Dani's cookies had been a hit at all her school bake sales. Thomas figured that meant Caroline and Dani had been friends for a long time. Jarred quickly stated that they'd all been friends for a long time.

Just then, Bill arrived with a bottle of wine and compliments about Karen's new place. He was surprised that Karen was having a dinner party, but said he couldn't stay because Katie was waiting for him. He guessed Dani was Karen's roommate and noted that they lived very close to him.

Bill glanced at the mantel and noticed a lot of travel pictures of Dani and Karen on it. Karen claimed she didn't like to travel alone. Bill joked about two women living alone together on the beach. As he strode out the front door, he said, "You know what people will think, right?" Once he was gone, Karen rolled her eyes and seethed, "That is why we are not going to say anything."

Karen poured herself a glass of wine, and Caroline said that keeping secrets was way too stressful. Karen detested feeling judged in her own home, and she missed their life in New York. Caroline wondered if her mother regretted the move, but Karen said she needed to be near her daughter.

Thomas thanked everyone for dinner, and Caroline noted that it had been an awkward evening for him. She pleaded with Karen to let down her guard for Caroline's sake. Karen reluctantly stated that Caroline's father was not in the picture, but Caroline did have two parents. Karen admitted that she and Dani were Caroline's parents. Caroline tearfully grinned, saying, "These are my moms!"

Thomas looked dumbfounded, and Karen guessed he had questions. She cited that she'd dated men in the past, including Thorne, but she hadn't been being true to herself until she'd met Dani. Thomas stood in stunned silence, and Caroline grew disillusioned.

Karen asked if Thomas were uncomfortable. Thomas replied that he felt bad that they'd felt they couldn't be themselves around him. He was sorry for asking about the father, because he usually didn't jump to conclusions about people. Karen said she was the sorry one for not trusting Caroline's judgment about telling Thomas.

Thomas, who'd seen firsthand how judgmental people could be, differentiated himself from those who thought certain kinds of love were wrong. He was glad Karen and Dani had found each other. Dani thanked Thomas for his support. Karen added that she wanted to keep her privacy, especially from her brother. She felt that Bill Spencer was not the man to share one's secrets with.

At Katie's house, Donna wondered if Katie had a special occasion in mind for the dinner preparations Katie was making for Bill. Katie gushed about her happy family life, but Donna cited that Katie and Bill had been butting heads about Liam's life. Katie felt that Bill was just being protective of Liam, and it had amazed her that Bill had become such a family man.

Donna asked if the Spencers had seen much of their new neighbor, Karen, and Katie said they'd been giving Bill's sister a chance to settle into her new beach house. Donna noted that Katie was sentimental about her family, but Bill barely paid attention to his sister. Katie claimed Bill was stopping by Karen's house on his way home.

The two women planned to do a sister's afternoon outing at a later date, and Katie considered inviting Karen. Donna thought they should hold off on that until they figured out whether Bill's visit would send Karen hightailing it back to New York.

Later, Bill arrived home to a romantic dinner setting. As Katie greeted him, he noted that Karen had been having a strange dinner party with Jarred and Thomas. Though Karen was working at Forrester, Bill didn't like her mingling with "those people." Katie cited that Steffy was one of those people; however, Bill reasoned that Steffy was all business, unlike the rest of the artsy bunch.

Bill mentioned meeting Karen's roommate, but he didn't understand why she needed one. He figured that if Karen had needed a "wingman" in Los Angeles, Donna could have done it. Katie guessed he meant like he and Justin had been in the past, but she warned him that his single days were over.

The couple hugged, and Bill expressed how happy he was with his life. He wanted nothing more than himself and Katie. He figured that she was trying to romance him that evening because she wanted them to get closer to Karen. Bill warned his wife that his sister was a private person who kept to herself, and it would never change. Katie told Bill that things in their lives would indeed change.

Bill doubted it, but Katie expressed excitement about change and a new level of commitment and understanding. She praised them for being as solid as they'd ever been. Bill kissed her and said she was the greatest partner that he could have asked for. He claimed that she made him a better man. He promised her that they'd travel the world, and nothing would hold them back.

Katie beamed about all the unexpected things that had happened in their lives. She mentioned Liam, who'd landed in Bill's life with such joy. Bill wondered where Katie was going with her words. She said that when the unexpected happened, they needed to cherish it. She tearfully said something miraculous had happened, and she was pregnant. "We're going to have a baby!" she announced.

Bill's face hardened, and Katie wondered if he'd heard her. She continued to gush about having a baby, but Bill asserted that it wasn't going to happen. "You're having an abortion," he declared.
