Kimberly is on the patio exercising and talking to herself outloud. She is thinking of how Bridget is going to hit the roof when she gets home and finds out that Thorne and Brooke are really together. Darla enters on the patio and startles her. She says that she did not mean to sneak up on her but she did not answered the door. Kimberly wants to know if Sally sent her over to check up on her. She says that she did and noticed her smile.

Bridget is still in Brooke's room throwing up because she is SO disgusted with Brooke and Thorne's relationship. Brooke is trying to get her to calm down but she won't. She says that she did not want to believe what the kids are saying at Insomnia was true. Bridget states that Throne is her half-brother. Brooke tries to rationalize by saying that there is no blood between she (Brooke) and Thorne. She understands that it is confusing and this is not the way that she wanted her to find out. She wants to talk to Bridget about this in another room. Bridget tells her that there is nothing to talk about. The whole thing makes her sick. Thorne is trying to assure her that they love each other and are committed. Brooke says she will come to accept this like Rick has. Bridget is shocked to hear that Rick knows about this and he approves. Thorne tells Bridget that they are planning future together. Brooke has accepted his proposal. This horrifies Bridget and she tells Brooke that it is either her or Thorne.

Eric asks if today is her court appearance and Rick answers. He tells Eric that CJ and Amber wanted to handle this on their own. Rick thinks that he should have little Eric until this whole thing is over.

CJ & Amber's place. CJ suggest that they call Sally for an attorney. But Amber insist that she wants to do this on her own. She believes that she does not need an attorney. She is innocent and she will be able to tell the Judge that she made a mistake by letting people in her house. She feels that responsible people do not go to jail. Rick calls with his Dad on the speakerphone. They tell Amber that he believes that family should be there. She tells them that she feels that this is something that needs to be handled with her and CJ.

Amber and CJ arrive to the courtroom. They see that the Judge means business and Amber looks pretty shaken.

Brooke, Thorne, and Bridget are in Brooke's bedroom. Bridget tells them in no uncertain terms that she will not accept them as a couple. She tells Brooke that she will have to choose between her and Thorne. He tries to explain to her that he loves her mother and that he has no intention of ever leaving her. He said that he had lost his family because he chose Brooke over a family that he loved. Brooke tells her that
she loves her but that she also loves Thorne. Bridget tries to tell them they that love each other as friends. They tell her that they tried to tell themselves that at first , but have realized that they mean much more to each other. Bridget tells her that she can't believe that Brooke is choosing Thorne over her. Brooke asks Thorne to leave so that she can talk with Bridget in private. Bridget tells him to get out of their house. After Thorne leaves, she again tries to reason with Bridget. She tells Brooke that she has friends at school and she doesn't want to lose them with this fiasco. She tells Brooke that she supported her through her relationship with Ridge, her feud with Stephanie, and the bedroom line, but she just could not accept this. She said that if everyone thought that the relationship was wrong, then it probably was.

Kimberly is at the beach house looking at the picture of the lighthouse that Thorne gave her. Rick knocks on the door and she invites him in. He wants to know how she is doing. She tells him that she is doing fine. She also tells him that she still hasn't forgiven his mother. He asks her if she has forgiven him. She asks him if he still supports his mother's relationship with Thorne. He said that he saw nothing wrong with the relationship. He said that he knows that they love each other and are committed. She tells him that she thinks that their affair is disgusting and that she was not the only one who thought so. He explains to her that it wasn't an affair. She asks him if they go out in public or do any family things. He tells her that she knows that they can't do that yet. She said that she didn't believe that Bridget would be able to accept it. He said that he would be there for Bridget. He tries to talk about their relationship, but Kimberly essentially tells him that she has found someone else. Rick leaves. Kimberly notices that Thorne has returned home and goes over to talk with him. They discuss Bridget. He said that finding out about him and Brooke had made Bridget physically ill. Kimberly tells him not to give up on love, that it was worth fighting for. He thinks that she is encouraging him to reconcile with Brooke and is surprised.

Amber, CJ, and little Eric are at the courthouse. Amber is charged with two counts of drug possession with the intent to sell. Amber tries to explain the situation to the judge. She tells them that she believes that a girl planted them while she was at the apartment. They inform her that she can't testify and that she needed a lawyer. She said that she didn't think that she needed one because she thought that she could explain it all away. The judge told her that he heard criminal cases, not explanations. He gave her a two day continuance and told her to come back with a lawyer or be held in contempt of court. CJ tells her that they should call his mother, but Amber wants to find her own attorney. A lawyer comes up to Amber and offers to help her with her case, but she declines. He leaves his card with her and tells her that drug cases were his specialty. Amber decides to talk with after all and finds him in the corridor.

At Insomnia:
Amber was waiting for Mr. Gale, the attorney, to consult with him about her case. He told her that her case was tricky--she was accused of 2 felonies. Amber told him that the drugs were not hers, and he said that he believes her but that she could be facing some serious jail time.

At Forrester Creations:
Ridge was sitting at his desk, simply staring off into space. Taylor arrived at his office, knocked at the door, but it took calling to him twice before he heard her. He asked her why she was there, and Taylor told him that she had to come in there to see her workaholic husband. She reminded him that he took off so quickly this morning that he forgot to shave. Ridge realized this fact only when she reminded him of it. When Taylor chided him about spending so much time away from the family, he reminded her that what means the most to him in the world are her and the children. Ridge feigned tiredness, saying that he felt as though the Devil has gotten hold of him. Taylor told him to stop putting so much pressure on himself, and hugged him and held him. At this point, Stephanie appeared in the doorway.

At Brooke's home:
She told Thorne that she really had no idea what to do--that Bridget is just not ready to accept their (Brooke and Thorne's) relationship. Thorne acknowledged that when Bridget saw them together she was really "freaked-out." He told Brooke that they will just have to give Bridget a chance to calm down and that when Bridget sees how much they mean to each other that she will come around. Brooke told him that Bridget was really pretty calm--that their discussion was the most mature discussion they've had. Thorne told Brooke that Bridget needs to see them together, and that if they are going to be a family, they need to act like one.

At Insomnia:
Kimberly flashed back to the night in Brooke's office when Brooke told her that Macy was driving and Brooke believed Macy tried to kill her. Speaking to herself, Kimberly said she might not have been able to save Macy, but she would not let Brooke ruin Macy's reputation or Thorne's either, for that matter. She said to herself (thinking of Brooke), "You are never going to have him." She then looked up, saw Bridget and immediately went over to speak with her, apologizing about some of the things she had said to her the night before. Bridget told Kimberly that the accusations she had made were true, and that she had caught Brooke and Thorne in Brooke's bedroom. She said it was so disgusting that she literally got sick. Kimberly said she shouldn't have said anything, to which Bridget replied that she was glad Kimberly did tell her, because if she had not, then Bridget could not have done anything about it. Kimberly was very curious........"Bridget, what did you do?"

Amber told Gale that she is a mother and just cannot go to prison. Gale said that he did not want to scare her, but wanted her to know that she was up against some serious charges. Amber still maintained that because she was innocent that she could not be convicted. Gale told her that she needs someone who will ask the right questions for her, research whether the police had probable cause to search, to, in effect, go to the mat for her and he was that man. All she needed to do was to give him a check for $500, which she did. He told her to wait right there and left to see to her case, telling her that he would try to clear up her case today.

Kimberly again asked Bridget what she did. Bridget told Kimberly about the ultimatum that she had given to Brooke--if Thorne moved in, then she would move out. Kimberly then asked her what happened--what Brooke said to her ultimatum.

At Brooke's:
Brooke told Thorne that they cannot force Bridget to accept their relationship, saying that she had caught them half naked in her bedroom. Thorne told Brooke that he thinks they need to get that image out of Bridget's head by showing her what their relationship is all about and how much they mean to each other. Thorne suggested that he move in with Brooke--that Bridget could then see them together and try to figure it out for herself. Brooke told him that Bridget had given her an ultimatum the previous night--if she wants a relationship with Bridget, then she cannot have one with Thorne. Thorne asked her what her reply was to Bridget, and Brooke said she never answered her because she wanted to speak with Thorne first. She said that Thorne will be Bridget's step-father, and if and when there were decisions to be made, she wanted them to be made together. Brooke told him that this was their new life, and it was starting right then and there.

At Forrester:
Taylor asked Stephanie to have Eric lighten up on Ridge's load so that he could get a little rest. Stephanie said she was certain Eric would give Ridge time off if they wanted to take a trip, but Ridge said he could not. Taylor said, "See what I mean?" and then suggested that the allure of dirty diapers at home had lost its charm. Ridge assured her that nothing means more to him than Taylor and the children. Taylor then told Stephanie that Ridge did not sleep well the night before and that he was rather emotional. Before she left, Ridge hugged Taylor again and took her face in his hands, telling her, "I just want to remember this moment." and kissed her tenderly. Taylor then left because she had lunch plans.

Stephanie remained behind to speak with Ridge. She told Ridge that he had to tell Taylor the truth--that she had tried to help but it did not work, so he had to tell her. Ridge said that he knew that was true.

At Insomnia:
Kimberly asked Bridget, "So, you gave your mom a choice?" But Bridget told Kimberly that Brooke never gave her an answer. Bridget could not understand how Brooke could do this again after Eric and Ridge, saying, "It's gross." Kimberly suggested that Bridget speak with Eric about it, and Bridget said that she thought she needed to speak with someone because it is just going to get worse once Thorne moves into the house. Kimberly reacted sharply, which even surprised Bridget, saying, "Well, you cannot let that happen!" and then she realized how surprised Bridget was by her reaction. Kimberly told her that she needed to speak with Eric--that he could help Bridget prevent Thorne from moving in. Bridget got up and left, thanking Kimberly as she went. Kimberly was pretty pleased with herself, and smiled as she muttered to herself, "No.......thank YOU, Bridget."

At Forrester:
Stephanie told Ridge that she would have done anything to prevent Morgan from having this baby, but since her plan has failed, Ridge needs to tell Taylor. Ridge asked her if she would really have done what she set out to do. Stephanie started out to say, "Ridge, if Morgan has this baby..." but Ridge interrupted her saying, "She IS going to have this baby. That's why I must take responsibility and tell Taylor. I just hope she can understand." Stephanie told him that he must make Taylor understand. Stephanie reminded him that Morgan will always have his baby, and Ridge was concerned because he knows what this will do to his marriage.

At Insomnia:
Mr. Gale came back into the cafe to see Amber. He is now her attorney of record, but he also had a copy of her arrest warrant, and she had given consent for a search and also the person who phoned in the complaint had accused Amber of being a drug dealer. Gale told Amber she needed some leverage--names of people who either use drugs or sell drugs, but since Amber does not use or sell, she had no names. He told her if she was a drug user, they could sentence her to rehab, and if she was a dealer, she could give up her supplier, but since she is innocent and without leverage, she could go to prison. He also reminded her that this is an election year, so sentences might be tougher. She might even draw the maximum sentence--five to ten years in federal prison. She might even lose her baby. Amber begs him to do something--she cannot go to prison. Gale left Amber to see what he could do, and was going to speak with the prosecutor.

At Brooke's:
Brooke told Thorne that she wants him to move in--she wants Bridget to see just how happy they are together. But, since Bridget is not accepting of this arrangement, they need to take things slowly and Thorne will not stay there full-time. He asked Brooke about tonight, and she agreed he could stay the night tonight and tomorrow they will have breakfast in bed, like in Venice. They kiss, passionately.

At Forrester:
Bridget entered Eric's office and dissolved into tears, hugging her father. She told him that she knew about Brooke and Thorne. Eric apologized. He asked her if she had spoken with Brooke and Bridget told him that she had tried. She told him that they want to get married but she thinks it is incestuous and sick. She said they must be stopped...."We have to stop them........They have to be stopped."

At Forrester:
Eric hugged Bridget in his office, and apologized for not telling her sooner about Brooke and Thorne. Bridget told him that she did not think it would have done any good to know sooner. She said that people were trying to tell her but she defended her mother, saying that her mother would never do anything so sick. She asked Eric how long this relationship between Brooke and Thorne had been going on--weeks, months? Eric told her it had been over a year. Bridget wondered who all knew....did Macy know? Eric told her that the family knew, and that Macy had known because Thorne had asked her for a divorce. Bridget was aghast wondering when Brooke was planning to tell her. Eric told her that he was hoping that Bridget would not have to know.

Bridget told Eric that Brooke had said that Thorne and herself had tried not to fall in love, but they had done so anyway. Brooke had said that they had tried to stay away from each other. Bridget asked Eric why he had let this happen, and Eric told her that he had done all possible to discourage this relationship. Bridget is disgusted that Rick is supporting Brooke and Thorne, and Eric informed her that Rick simply wants to see his mother happy. Bridget said that her mother's choices made her look like a joke, and Eric responded that Brooke's choices do not reflect upon her (Bridget). Bridget agreed, saying that she would not be there for the choices to reflect upon her. Eric wanted to know what she meant--after all, a while back Bridget had run away. Bridget said that Brooke can have herself(Bridget) or Thorne, but she would never accept the relationship between them.

At Thorne's home:
He was packing some things into a bag and there was a knock at the door, which he assumed was Brooke. It was Kimberly in her wet suit--she was now ready for her first surfing lesson. She told him that the Summer is almost over, so time is short to learn surfing. Thorne told her this was not a good day for surfing lessons. He was going back over to Brooke's home to hash the situation out with Bridget. Kimberly quickly and desperately responds, "No, you can't!" Thorne turned and looked quizzically at her.

Ridge's office:
Ridge and Stephanie continued to discuss how Ridge should tell Taylor about Morgan, the deception, and Morgan's pregnancy. Ridge expressed concern that it was only now that Taylor trusted him--that was not always the case. And now, because of one stupid mistake, things would never be the same. He wondered aloud what this whole issue will do to his children.

Taylor & Ridge's home:
Taylor opened the door and invited Morgan inside. Taylor prepared lunch for them, thinking that Morgan would be more comfortable talking in their home rather than out at a restaurant. Morgan felt guilty that Taylor had gone to a lot of trouble, but Taylor explained that this is her "day off", with Thomas at preschool and the twins with their nanny. She asked Morgan what her big news was........and asked her if she (Morgan) was nervous about how Taylor would react to the news. They exited to the terrace. She prepared a totally nourishing lunch for them, and expounded on all the nutrients contained therein. She told her the things were all important when "growing a baby". Morgan thanked her for her support, even after she had lied to Taylor. Taylor told her that she had been hurt--she thought they were friends who would trust each other. Taylor asked Morgan if the reason she wanted to have lunch was to tell her who is the father of the baby.

Ridge's office:
There was a knock at the door and Megan entered with a framed photograph of the twins that Giovanni had just received back from the lab. Ridge looked at the photograph and stated, "This is just what I prayed for" and then began a sentimental journey back through the lives of the twins--the delicate pregnancy where he almost lost them. He remembered telling God that if he would allow the girls to live that he would take very good care of them. He then visualized them at various times in their lives--the Itsy, Bitsy Spider song, doing small normal things with them at home, meeting them in the hospital after their birth, and special times with the whole family together at home. Ridge was distraught and looked terribly stressed--unshaven, wrinkled. He stated, "I'm not going to lose my family. No matter what happens, I cannot lose my family."

At Thorne's:
Kimberly stammered to recover her composure, telling Thorne that it was not a good idea for him to return to Brooke's because Bridget was so upset. Kimberly reminded Thorne that he had already told Bridget how he felt, but Thorne claimed that Bridget was far too upset to hear anything he said. He said that he would simply have to show her how he felt (about Brooke). He told Kimberly that probably she could not relate to this yet, but that some day she would meet and fall in love with a man and that she would not let anyone or anything keep her from him. She informed him that what he is speaking about has already happened. Thorne told her that he knew she had feelings for Rick, but this was different.

Kimberly was frustrated as to how to stop Thorne from going back to Brooke's and turned away to think. When she turned back, she saw that he was packing things into an overnight bag and questioned him, "You're not going to spend the night, are you?" Thorne responded that he would see how things went. This was not what Kimberly wanted to hear, and she was thinking hard and fast, and almost pouting.

Eric's office at Forrester:
Eric told Bridget that she would just have to accept the situation, but she claimed that she could not--it made her sick just to think about coming to the breakfast table and seeing them together, with Thorne touching Brooke. Eric challenged her, "You're not thinking about running away again." Bridget said she was a little girl when that had happened. Eric told her that she could always move in with Stephanie and him. Bridget wondered aloud whether Brooke might actually pick Thorne over her. Eric told her that Brooke and Thorne are hoping to win Bridget over. Bridget bristled at the thought. She was horrified because when she issued her ultimatum to Brooke, Brooke actually had to think about it. Bridget cried that she is tired of being the one who always has to pick up the pieces--why can't Brooke just live a normal life? She asked Eric what she is supposed to do if she goes home today and Thorne is there. Eric told her that she does not have to go home--she can move in with them.

There was a knock at the door and it was Brooke. She entered and asked Bridget if they could talk. Bridget said go ahead--talk. Brooke wanted to go to her office and have an adult conversation, but Bridget demanded to know if she had ended it with Thorne. Bridget again demanded to know what Brooke was going to do, and Brooke responded that she was not going to allow her teen-age daughter to make her decisions for her. Bridget said then she guessed she would have to make some decisions for herself, and when Brooke questioned the meaning of that, Eric responded that Bridget was moving in with him today.

Ridge's office:
Ridge continued to berate himself for not owning up to his horrible mistake right after it happened. He felt that had he confided in Taylor about Morgan's manipulation at that time, she might have been able to forgive him. Stephanie asked him why he had not done so, and he responded that he allowed Morgan to convince him to wait and see if she was pregnant before telling Taylor. He then said that Morgan had claimed if no pregnancy resulted that they could just pretend that nothing ever happened. Stephanie reminded him that he had played right into Morgan's hand--now she could see to it that Ridge got caught and looked worse to Taylor. Ridge painfully claimed that he could not lose Taylor and his kids. Stephanie reminded him that Taylor loves him--that they could fight to save their marriage. Ridge said that he will fight to save it and hoped Taylor would too, but that even if they did get through this, things will never be the same.

At Thorne's:
Kimberly pouted to Thorne that he had promised to wait before going public with the relationship with Brooke. Thorne said that they were not making any announcements. But, Kimberly argued, they were moving in together, to which Thorne replied that was always the plan. Thorne reminded Kimberly that time has passed since Macy's death and reporters were no longer snooping around. He said that he would spend an occasional night with Brooke, then a weekend, and then he would move in with her. Kimberly said that she would miss Thorne and he responded that he would still be around. Kimberly pouted that Brooke would not like that very much, and Thorne asked her if that was what was bothering her. They hugged and he told her that he was going to miss having a kid sister around. Kimberly bristled at hearing herself referred to as a kid sister. Thorne told her that he had better finish getting ready and asked her if she would be OK. Kimberly, thinking and smiling slyly, said that yes, she would be OK...........she would be OK because Thorne was NOT going to move in with Brooke.

Eric's office:
Bridget told Brooke that she was moving in with Eric unless Brooke breaks off her relationship with Thorne. Brooke asked her if she was giving her an ultimatum, and Bridget told her that she wanted to know right then and there who is more important to her--Thorne or Bridget?

Ridge's office:
Stephanie tells Ridge that she wishes Taylor did not have to know about this, but she believes that Morgan will tell her and it would be better coming from him.

Taylor & Ridge's home:
The nanny called to let Taylor know that she was stopping by to see Ridge with the twins. Taylor told Morgan that she thought that was a great idea because Ridge had been so stressed out lately. Taylor then asked Morgan whether she would have that type of relationship with the father for her baby. Morgan looked confused and Taylor reminded her that she was a psychologist and had deduced that the father of Morgan's baby was married and that was why Morgan was afraid to tell Taylor who the father was. She claimed to Morgan that she has heard all sorts of stories before and she would not judge her, so just tell her, who IS the baby's father?
