In Bill's private plane, Katie called Brooke to see how things were going at Forrester. Brooke assured her sister that everything was fine. Katie told Brooke that she had no idea where her husband was taking her on their honeymoon. As she talked to Brooke, Bill entered and kissed Katie until she put down the phone. Brooke continued to tell Katie what was going on at Forrester until she realized that she had lost Katie. Ridge entered after Brooke hung up the phone. He kissed her and told her that he was glad they were alone in Katie's office. He became amorous, but Steffy and Donna knocked on the door and brought in models.
The models were wearing some of Ridge's new designs, and Brooke, Donna and Steffy complimented the dresses. Donna commented that one of the designs reminded her of Hepburn. Ridge checked out the fittings and told the models to report to the sewing room because he wanted to see a few of the designs taken in and changed slightly. Steffy and Donna told Ridge that the designs were some of his best work.
The group wondered what Jackie M was going to do to respond to Forrester's new line, but Ridge downplayed their campaign. He said the Adam and Eve campaign was very similar to the cougar idea they had already used. He thought that Jackie M had spent too much time trying to sell sex rather than the appeal of the clothing.
Brooke remarked that at Forrester, they all worked for Bill Spencer but the campaign was a tribute to a father and daughter success. Steffy had come up with the campaign on old Hollywood glamour and Ridge had designed glamorous dresses that fit the creative idea. Steffy hugged her dad. Steffy defended Bill and said that he had been very supportive if her ideas. She said that she believed the campaign would put Forrester back on top.
On the plane, Bill and Katie had finished lovemaking and teased one another about lovemaking in the air. Katie offered her husband a martini and he thanked her, but said that it wasn't for the martini. He called her Mrs. Spencer and thanked her for choosing to marry him. Katie asked if Bill had any regrets, and he said that his only regret was that he didn't marry her sooner. He added that he realized he had put her in an awkward position with her family when he made her CEO of Forrester and asked her to marry him. He admitted that he feared her sisters would turn her against him, and he could have lost her forever. He said that Katie had proven that she could do it all and keep everyone happy. Katie said that she felt she could do anything as long as she had him by her side. She told her husband that they had a love that no one would understand. She said that she believed they knew each other better than anyone had ever known either one of them. Bill agreed and they kissed.
At the beach, Ann, Stephanie and Pam held hands at a table on the beach while Ann told her daughters that she was terminally ill with pancreatic cancer and had little time left to live. She told her daughters that she loved the beach. The smell and the sounds of the beach were some of the things that made her happiest. The girls teared up, and insisted that they could take her to doctors who would help her fight the disease. Ann refused to become a pincushion and lab experiment. She said that she was willing to accept her fate, and she insisted that her daughters promise that they would nor force her to spend her last days in a hospital. Pam argued at first, but then agreed after Ann insisted it was her dying wish to stay away from hospitals.
Stephanie and Pam agreed, and Ann told them that they needed to return her to the airport because her flight left in a few hours. Stephanie refused and insisted that they wanted to take care of Ann. Stephanie told Pam that they would take Ann to Taylor's. Ann argued but finally agreed to spend her last days in Los Angeles with her daughters. The trio left the beach, and Ann seemed very frail. Ann winced in pain as they walked away from the beach. She stumbled in pain as Pam called out to her mother in panic.
At Forrester, Brooke wondered what the staff at Jackie M was planning, and Donna said that Stephanie would have plenty to say about the Adam an Eve campaign, but she was busy because her mother was in town so her input would be limited. Donna left, and Brooke and Ridge discussed Stephanie's complicated relationship with her mother. Brooke said that Stephanie and Ann had to spend some time mending their relationship. Brooke admitted that she knew Stephanie always protected her own children with tenacity because no one had protected her as a young girl when her father abused her. Ridge said that Stephanie's childhood explained a lot about who Stephanie had become.
At home, Eric was working on some paperwork when Donna entered. She asked what he was working on, and he answered that when it was finished she would be the first to know. She sat on his lap and they snuggled. Donna shared that she had heard Stephanie's mother was in town. Eric became thoughtful and told Donna about Stephanie's past as an abused child. He explained that her father physically punished Stephanie when she was young. Donna softened and said that felt sorry for Stephanie because she had spent her youth in fear of her father. Eric added that
Eric explained that Stephanie and Ann had repaired their relationship years ago when Ann stayed with the family. He recalled that Stephanie had taken Ann and Pam to the beach to spend some time together, and Ann had returned to the house as a much happier person. Eric said that Stephanie had forgiven Ann for not protecting her daughter when she was young. He said that it had been a very telling emotional moment for the mother and daughter. He reminisced about his time with Stephanie and Ann and wondered what Ann was planning since she had returned.
