Thorne met with Donna and thanked her for pulling him out of a deep depression and added that they'd had a great time together, but marriage never would have worked. They teased that they were good together but not in love. Donna thanked Thorne for treating her like gold. They kissed and headed their separate ways. Donna showed up at Eric's, where he was depressed enough to play the piano. Donna and Eric discussed Stephanie's contacting Andy -- the man who had raped Brooke.

Ridge and Ashley were whooping it up between the sheets at her place, and they planned to meet in the steam room later. Ridge told Ashley he had to go see Brooke, and Ashley was miffed. She said Brooke either needed Ridge or Nick's attention -- and she always got it. Ashley asked what was so important "this time." Ridge couldn't tell her about the rape because he'd promised Brooke not to tell anyone. Ashley started to boil and left for work.

At Forrester Creations, Brooke peeked at the ultrasound photos of the "who's the momma" Marone baby while Nick walked in, wondering aloud what she was doing. The subject changed. Brooke had some fashion designs for him and wanted to go back to work. Nick asked what had been so wrong, and Brooke finally told him she had been raped. Nick lent a sympathetic ear and a hug.

Later, Ridge asked Brooke if he could tell Ashley about the rape. Brooke freaked out and said his future was with her and their children. She wanted him back forever.
