At Forrester in Brooke's office, Nick is furious with Brooke for refusing to fire the Forresters. As Ridge watches, Nick reiterates to Brooke that she cannot have a life with him and continue to work with the Forresters. Brooke tells Nick she wants things to work for them but she also wants things to work for Ridge's family. She points out that Ridge and Eric are Forrester Creations and it would be morally wrong and bad business to fire them. Brooke offers a solution. She tells Nick that she can run the company, but her office can be at Marone, right next to his. Ridge thinks Brooke is making the right decision and says she is a good CEO because she realizes what is best for the company. Brooke warns Ridge to respect her relationship with Nick, or she could change her mind about everything. She then dismisses Ridge so she can pack up her things and move her office to Marone. Brooke reassures Nick of her love but tells him she cannot do something she does not believe in, even for him. Nick is not happy with Brooke's solution but he begrudgingly goes along with it. After Nick leaves, Brooke begins packing up. Ridge stops by and thanks her for not firing him. He feels hopeful, after seeing that she packed a family picture of them. After Ridge leaves, Stephanie drops by and tells Brooke that she realizes Stephen and Nick are responsible for Brooke's decision to fire them. She tells Brooke she trusts her and asks Brooke to stand by her and fight this.

In Dante's Studio, after finding Felicia and Christian in a compromising position, Dante becomes jealous and tells Christian to leave. Felicia does not understand why Dante got so jealous, since he supposedly is not interested in her. Dante is annoyed that Felicia is already throwing herself at another guy. Felicia jokingly tells him she was just having fun. Dante is not amused and asks her why she always has to act like a slut. Felicia is stung by his comment. Dante accuses her of cheapening herself in order to push him away. He doesn't think that is who she really is, he just thinks she is afraid to be herself; He tells her to be the smart, loving, caring woman that he knows she is, not this dangerous person she pretends to be. He begs her to start seeing herself for who she is. Felicia does not understand what he wants. He explains that he wants more time to get to know her better and he does not want to always have to worry about finding her in bed with other men. Felicia is touched by how much he cares about her and they hug.

Meanwhile at Taylor's, Stephanie attempts to apologize to Taylor once more, but Stephen will not stand for it. Stephanie blames Stephen for being a bad influence on Taylor and using her. Taylor defends him, saying that Stephanie is the one who betrayed her. Stephen tells Stephanie that Taylor's life is no longer any of her business. Stephanie thinks Taylor is being a fool and tells her that Stephen just used her for the stock and a little sex. Stephanie demands that Taylor "save what little self respect she has" by giving her back the stock. Stephen gleefully informs Stephanie that it is too late since the stocks have already been signed over to Brooke. Ignoring him, Stephanie asks Taylor to tell the lawyers that she made a mistake because she had been drinking when she agreed to sell the stock. Insulted by Stephanie's reference to her drinking problem, Taylor refuses and tells Stephanie to leave. Stephanie cannot believe she is taking Stephen's side over hers. Taylor angrily tells her to go talk to Brooke about it since she respects her enough to give her half of the company. Taylor tells Stephanie that she does not want to ever see her again. After Stephanie leaves Taylor tells Stephen that she does not want to continue their romance, because of Brooke. Stephen is disappointed, but agrees to be friends. He leaves after kissing her goodbye.

At the Beach House, Bridget wonders if Nick and Brooke are going to stay together. Nick drops in and tells her that Brooke now has 52% of the company. Bridget is surprised; she thought Brooke just had 50%. He tells her that the other two shares came from Taylor. Bridget cannot believe that Nick is supporting Brooke's position at Forrester. He explains that he thought Brooke was going to fire all of the Forresters. Bridget says he should have known that Brooke could never do that. Nick tells her about Brooke's compromise of running the company from Marone, but admits that he is not happy with her decision. Nick apologizes for dumping on her again, saying he did not know where else to turn. Bridget does not mind and tells him she just wants what is best for him.

Wanting to spend sometime alone with Dante, Felicia decides to put the baby to bed. When she returns, Felicia thanks him for caring enough to give her a wake-up call.
