Thorne is sitting in his office listening to opera music and thinking about when he saw Brooke at the restaurant with Giovanni. He later goes to Ridge's office to deliver some invoices. Ridge wants the two of them to put the past behind them and try to get along for the sake of the family. Thorne tells him that he was not going to lay a guilt trip on him because Ridge and Eric were the two that destroyed everything. Ridge admitted to Thorne that what they did was wrong, but that they had done it for all the right reasons. He told Thorne that their Mother was well again and he was married to a wonderful woman who loved him. Thorne told Ridge that he didn't want to make amends because he didn't trust him. They are called into Brooke's office due to an emergency.

Taylor and Morgan are having lunch at the Insomniac Cafe. Taylor notices that Morgan seems to be distracted. Taylor asks her if she interrupted something between her and Stephanie. Taylor said that although she loved Stephanie, she knew that Stephanie could be vicious when it came to protecting her family. They then discuss the possibility of Morgan renting Taylor's Beach House. Morgan receives an emergency call from the office and they leave.

Brooke is in her office thinking about Thorne seeing her with Giovanni. She says to herself that Thorne may love Macy, but he belonged to her. Stephanie enters Brooke's office. Stephanie accuses Brooke of hiring Morgan to get back at Ridge. Brooke said that she realized that they worked together in the past, but she didn't realize that they had a personal relationship. Stephanie said that it was insignificant because Morgan was just a teenager. Stephanie then changes the subject saying that she can't believe that Brooke hired someone without consulting Eric. Brooke gets a phone call and Stephanie leaves. Brooke wonders what is really going on.

Stephanie joins Eric at home by the pool. Eric is surprised that she went back to the office so soon. She asks him if that is the reason that he didn't inform her that Brooke had hired Morgan. Eric said that he didn't think that Morgan would be a problem. Stephanie tells him that she doesn't want her anywhere near Ridge. She says that Morgan is an opportunist. Eric wants to know if there is more going on than Stephanie is telling him.

Everyone with the exception of Eric have gathered in Brooke's office. She tells them that a fire broke out at Forrester International and most of the designs were destroyed. She is sending Morgan and Ridge to Paris immediately. When Brooke and Morgan are alone, Morgan informs Brooke that she can't go to Paris with Ridge. Meanwhile in Ridge's office, Ridge asks Taylor if it bothers her that he is travelling to Paris with an ex-girlfriend? She replies that Morgan dumped him and has no interest in him.

Brooke is in her office talking to Morgan about Paris. She does not understand why Morgan does not want to go to Paris with Ridge. Morgan tries to give her some lame excuse about how well they are working together now. Morgan was trying not to make a big deal out of why she did not want to go but it was obviously too late. Brooke blurbs out "Is this because you and Ridge used to date? Why didn't you tell me this before?" Morgan looks all shocked after Brooke said that and has that wonder look on her face. Brooke told her that Stephanie came in and accused her of hiring Morgan to get back at Ridge. Brooke told her if she did not want to do it, then she will get someone else that will do her job. Morgan heads for the door and Brooke asked her where she was going. Morgan replied, "I have a plane to catch

Brooke tells Taylor she finds it odd that Morgan never mentioned her past with Ridge and wonders if Morgan regrets ending the relationship. Taylor realizes that Brooke is asking her loaded questions in the hopes of making her suspicious of Morgan, but she insists that she's not taking the bait. Brooke wonders if there is more going on in Morgan's mind than any of them know.

Becky and C.J. are surprised to see Amber in her uniform. Her hopes dashed, Amber tells them that she doesn't deserve to be on the stage there any more than she deserved to be a Forrester.

The first table she's told to clear is the table where Amber and Rick sat on their first date. Ridge presses Morgan to tell him the real reason why she broke up with him and then disappeared. Morgan wants to forget about the past and focus on their work.

Morgan remembers the day Stephanie took her for the abortion, even though Morgan insisted she wasn't ready and wanted to tell Ridge about the pregnancy. She knows she can never tell Ridge, but he was the first and last good thing that ever happened to her.

C.J. asks Rick about his night with Kimberly. Rick doesn't appreciate C.J.'s good-natured ribbing when Rick reveals that Kimberly isn't interested in pre-marital sex. C.J. tells Rick what a good time he's been having with Becky. He tries to reassure Rick that Kimberly is just nervous and will come around. Kimberly shares her confusion with Macy and asks if she's living in a fairy tale to expect to wait until her honeymoon.

Macy tells Kimberly that only she can decide what's right for her. Macy senses that Kimberly's afraid she could lose Rick if she doesn't sleep with him. Kimberly is sure that Rick loves her, but thinks her refusal to sleep with him may have hurt his feelings by implying that he's not the one.
