Ridge is remembering Brooke telling him that because of his mother, he lost his son. He is walking around in a daze, as he imagines seeing Hope and RJ. Ridge says out loud, "I love you, Logan." He never meant for any of this to happen.

Bridget, Brooke and the children arrive home to find that Nick has the place all in order for them. Bridget quietly asks Nick to watch over Brooke, that she wants to go over and see Ridge. Nick has made the place as comfortable as possible, including bringing over Katherine, so that the children would feel more at home. As Nick tries to comfort Brooke, he tells her that he hopes both Stephanie and Ridge feel the pain that they have caused for the rest of their lives. Nick holds Brooke as she tells him that her whole life has been about Ridge. He reminds her that Ridge turned his back on her and the children.

Thomas is at work and Gaby comes in to see him. He tells her that Nick and the Immigration know about their marriage. He tells her that there are a few more things that they will have to do before she can get her green card. As they talk, Phillip Dunn from the Immigration Department arrives. He is looking for Thomas Forrester. He explains to them that one of the conditions before a green card is issued, is to wait 90 days. That gives them enough time to find out if the marriage was because of the right things or because it was so that she could receive a green card. He starts to ask them a few questions, of which there will be many, but Thomas speaks for Gaby, saying that the loss of her mother, is still causing her to grieve. When asked if he loves her, Thomas responds with, "What is there not to love." Mr. Dunn leaves for the time being.

Bridget enters the house once again and finds Ridge holding RJ's teddy bear. He asks if she is there to pick it up. She responds that she is there to tell him how angry she is with him for hurting her mother again. Ridge tells her that someone was going to get hurt, even Taylor if he had chosen Brooke. Bridget tells him that the only thing left to do, is see a lawyer and discuss visitation with your son. She tells him that he didn't make a choice, his Mother made it for him. She tells him that Stephanie choreographed the whole thing, and he wouldn't see or couldn't see what she did. She tells him that he has a very small window to do something, because Brooke is going to move on for her and the children.

Ridge tells Bridget to watch Nick like a hawk because Brooke was all that Nick ever wanted.

Nick tells Brooke that he and Bridget will be there for her. Bridget walks in and hears Nick saying that you, Hope and RJ are the most important things in his life now. Bridget cries.
