Thorne confronts Eric about how ridiculous it is that he's still worried about Ridge and Bridget together. Eric is still worried that Amber needs to be prosecuted, but Sally and Amber will release the photo of Ridge kissing Bridget to the tabloids, if the Forrester's come forward. Eric says he'll never be convinced that Ridge doesn't want to be with Bridget, and he should have put a stop to the affair the first time things heated up between them. Thorne reminds Eric that Bridget and Nick are getting closer everyday, and Bridget has moved on for good.

Stephanie tells Massimo she's worried that Sally will release the photo to the tabloids, even if they keep quiet about Amber's trap. Massimo assures her that would never happen, because then they'd lose their leverage on Amber's crime. Stephanie asks Massimo why a romantic looking dinner is set up, and he explains it's actually for him and Jackie. As Stephanie begins to bash on Jackie and her wrong-doing to Massimo, Jackie walks in. Massimo gets a call and leaves the room. Stephanie asks Jackie if she's running back to Massimo because her and Deacon's relationship "fizzled", but Jackie tries to assure her she made a mistake and wants Massimo back. Stephanie isn't convinced, and tells her she'd better have fun tonight, because if it was up to her, and she's sure it could be, Jackie is on the outs.

Bridget and Nick continue their romantic dinner on the jet. Nick says he has something for Bridget, and as she asks if it's "mud pie", he gives her a beautiful necklace. Bridget is elated, but still concerned about Nick's feelings for her mother. Nick assures her that Brooke was his past, and Bridget is now the love of his life. Bridget explains to Nick, she's still unsure, and has been hurt so much in the past, that it's hard for her to trust in someone. She also wonders that if Brooke and Ridge break up for good, would Nick and Brooke get back together? Nick tells Bridget she is the only one for him, and that would never happen.

Still on the plane, Bridget wanted reassurance that Nick didn't have deeper feelings for anyone (especially her mom) than he has for her. Nick told Bridget that he shared a bond with Brooke when they thought they were going to have a baby together, and that bond will probably never go away. He clarified it as a bond of friendship, and told Bridget that it didn't compare to what he feels for her. He goes to bed thinking of her, and wakes thinking of her, and there's no one (not even her mother) he'd rather be with than her. After they kiss, Nick asked Bridget how she feels about Ridge. She told him that it was him (Nick) who saved her from "that mess" and that she's never looked back since. He asked, but she still wouldn't tell where they're going. They landed back in L.A.!!! She said didn't think they were ready to take a longer trip together, but that was when they took off. He said he didn't think of L.A. as just a city anymore, he thought of it as home.

Massimo and Jackie were talking over dinner at Massimo's house reminiscing the "wonderful" times they had there as a family. Massimo told her about Nick seeing Bridget, and she seemed surprised. She thinks that Nick could be transferring his feelings for Brooke to Bridget. Massimo didn't agree, and told her she should accept Nick and Bridget's relationship and move on. Jackie said she learned her lesson about meddling in Nick's life, but she didn't think Bridget was the right woman for him.

Thomas and Caitlin talked about growing up, Amber, and whether they belong together after all. She said if she had seen Thomas for who he was in the first place, she wouldn't have gone goo-goo over Rick, and they might still be together. Caitlin said they wasted time, and that she had a good thing right in front of her, and she didn't see it. He said they should stop wasting time, and kissed her. Caitlin asked Thomas if he was on the rebound, he said he was glad Amber's gone, and that he didn't intend to let Caitlin go again.
