At the Forresters', Dante tells Felicia he is concerned about Dominick's future with Bridget and Nick. He brings up the night he and Felicia shared together in Nice, implying that Dominick may be his son. Felicia says there is no way Dante could be Dominick's father because they used a condom. Dante reminds her that they only used a condom the first time they had sex that night. He asks her if the baby was premature. Felicia does not know if the baby was premature since she did not have a doctor, she just had a midwife. She continues to reject the possibility that Dante is Dominick's father.

At the Forresters', Taylor and Dante encourage Felicia to have a paternity test. Felicia refuses to believe Dante could be the father. Dante continues to argue that he has a right to know. Taylor stresses the importance of knowing who the real father is in case of a medical emergency. Felicia says Dominick recently had a physical and is in perfect health, but Taylor reminds her how quickly that can change. Taylor tells Felicia all they need to prove paternity is Dante's DNA sample. She reassures Felicia that the test will be handled discreetly, and that no one will have to know. Felicia reluctantly agrees.

Meanwhile at Brooke's house, Ridge continues to woo Brooke trying to convince her to give him another chance. Ridge tells Brooke he knows a part of her still wants to be with him. She admits he could be right but tells him she is not willing to put herself in the position to lose the man she loves again. Brooke is not convinced that Ridge can truly commit to her. Ridge says he is committed to her and the only reason he would not want to be with her is if she is still in love with Nick. Brooke says she wants Bridget and Nick to be happy and to stay together because they still have a son to raise. She also tells Ridge she wants him to help her raise RJ. Ridge tells her he will not give up on her as long as he feels he still has a chance. They embrace, and then he asks her to dance and share the memories. They dance through the past in each other's arms, remembering special moments in time they shared. Afterwards, Ridge gazes into Brooke's tear-filled eyes and proclaims he has loved her all his life and will love her until the day he dies.

At the Beach House, Bridget is unpleasantly surprised to see that Nick brought Dominick home. Nick reading Bridget's reaction quickly puts the baby to bed. He tries to console Bridget. Nick says he knows Dominick will never be a replacement for Nicole, but he is something positive for them to focus on. Bridget begins to cry telling Nick she is overwhelmed with grief and afraid she will not be able to care for Dominick like he needs her to. Nick says she just needs time to deal with her grief. Bridget says there is no time because Felicia is dying and needs to know Dominick is with someone who will love and care for him like a mother would. The baby begins to cry and Nick goes to get him. When he brings Dominick back Bridget asks to hold him and Nick puts him in her arms.

At the hospital, Dante has his DNA tested. While they are waiting for the results Felicia questions Dante about his feelings for Bridget. She asks if he is hoping to be the father because he thinks it might give him another chance with Bridget. Dante denies this accusation, but admits that he loves Bridget and thinks Nick is wrong for her. He tells Felicia the only reason Nick married Bridget is because she was pregnant. He doubts that Nick loves Bridget more than he loves Brooke. Felicia angrily tells Dante that Nick and Bridget love each other and they will be raising Dominick. As they continue to argue, Taylor walks in with the test results.
