Deacon confronts her about what she was dreaming about, but says he already knows and he can make the dream a reality. Amber says she must leave and Deacon says she can't keep running away from this. He says their feelings are real and she can't keep denying them. He says Bridget is starting to sense something and he doesn't want to lie to her. Amber tells him he should divorce Bridget and not hurt her any longer. He says he won't, not until Amber agrees to be with him.

Bridget runs into Thorne at the office and she seems distracted. He asks her what is the matter and she replies nothing. He says he's sorry, but he must leave and meet Stephanie and the family. She says she is meeting a friend anyway and they depart. She meets her friend Betsy and relays her fears of Deacon and Amber to her. Bridget tells Betsy that she talked to Stephanie and that she told her that Deacon is only using her to get back at the Forrester's. Stephanie has always been straight with her and she doesn't know what to believe. Betsy says she has a plan that will tell whether her fears are real.

Bridget calls Amber and invites her to dinner, Amber declines, but Bridget insists. Amber tries to talk to her, but Bridget hangs up the phone before she can talk. Amber tells Deacon that Bridget already knows and she isn't going to stay.

Before going to sleep, Brooke and Thorne worried about Bridget. They were particularly worried about what kind of reaction she will have when she learns of Deacon's deception.

They were unaware that Bridget had already learned the truth that evening!

Bridget freaked out as Deacon tried to soften the blow of his deception. Bridget didn't buy into any explanations that Deacon told her. Out of anger, Bridget threw Deacon out of the house. Deacon made a frantic call to Amber from his cell phone to tell her that Bridget knows that he deceived her. Rick telephoned Brooke to notify her that Bridget is aware that Deacon deceived her. Brooke and Rick made plans to meet over at Bridget's along with Thorne and Eric.

Deacon went back inside to talk to Bridget. He managed to upset her even more and caused Bridget to flee in her car. Deacon tried to no avail to stop her.

Kristen and Tony flew to Miami. She told him that Tony has her and Tony responded that her he's her man. When they arrived at the hotel in Miami, Tony asked her to share a room with him. Kristen turned down his offer because she said she wasn't ready to make love to him yet.

Bridget drove her car at very high speeds while completely emotionally distraught about Deacon. Deacon managed to tail her in his car, but couldn't get Bridget to stop and pull over.

Amber, Rick, Brooke and Thorne all rushed to Bridget's house to comfort her. Brooke told Amber to leave because her presence would upset Bridget. Bridget was not at home. They began to frantically search for her.

Meanwhile, Bridget was still on the road driving at high speeds and partially incoherent. With Deacon directly behind her, her car crashed. Deacon pulled her out of her car and screamed for help. He kept apologizing to Bridget about how he deceived her and hurt her. Bridget didn't hear Deacon's desperate words because she was unconscious.
