Amber fantasizes about the success her new "Ambrosia" line will be to the bottom line at Forrester. Hearing Stephanie call his mother a "whore," Rick angrily confronts her and Taylor and blasts them for badmouthing Brooke. He orders them to leave Brooke's office but Stephanie refuses. Rick reminds her that she's badmouthing the CEO of Forrester and insists that the bed be brought back into the office as a symbol of the success that Brooke is in the industry. He threatens them both and then leaves as Ridge arrives. Hearing what happened, Ridge lectures his wife and mother about the way they treat Brooke but Stephanie urges Ridge to use his new power to make significant changes at Forrester. Ridge admits that he and Eric talked about going back to the classic look of years gone by and Taylor advises them both that she heard people badmouthing Forrester because of Brooke's scandalous designs. Meanwhile, Rick runs home and complains to Amber about the way Stephanie trashed his mother. Bridget pays her mom a visit at the spa and gets off on the wrong foot by talking about how great Deacon is. Brooke insists that she not talk to her husband about her troubles. Bridget then encourages her mother with compliments about her professional life.

At home, Deacon asked Bridget if Brooke had revealed to her why she's so depressed. Bridget couldn't get an answer out of Brooke. All Brooke hinted at is that she's very ashamed of herself for some reason. Bridget deduced that Brooke's depression was caused by something other than her divorce from Thorne and her recent rejection by Ridge. Bridget was determined to find out why Brooke is so upset.

Meanwhile at the spa, Brooke dreamt of the night that she and Deacon had made love. Without Bridget's knowledge, Deacon telephoned Brooke at the spa to find out why she is so depressed. Deacon told Brooke he is worried about her because he cares about her. Brooke didn't believe him. Deacon assumed that Brooke was feeling guilty because the two of them had made love while he was married to Bridget. Deacon told her not to feel guilty, because if they had known that his marriage to Bridget would work out, they would have never acted on their feelings. Brooke later admitted to Christine that she had committed an unforgivable sin. What Brooke felt was even worse about though, she enjoyed what she had done!

Stephanie went to Massimo's penthouse to tell him that Ridge had been made CEO of Forrester Creations. Stephanie told him that she agrees with him that Ridge is a leader. Massimo was happy that Stephanie finally had something positive to say about Massimo's relationship with Ridge. Stephanie apologized for her lack of compassion towards Massimo. She regretted that he must keep the secret that he is Ridge's father. Stephanie admitted those years ago she loved Massimo and that she still does. She told him that nothing could come of her feelings for him.

Ridge conducted his first meeting at Forrester Creations as the CEO. Ridge allowed Taylor to remain at the meeting because there was something that he wanted her to hear. Ridge. Ridge proposed that the Brooke's Bedroom line of lingerie is eliminated from the company. Eric was pleased at Ridge's proposal. Thorne was surprised. Thorne warned that Brooke would "go ballistic" when she finds out that her line was eliminated. Even with the worry about what Brooke would do, Thorne, Eric and Ridge all voted to eliminate Brooke's Bedroom. Ridge announced that the production of the Brooke's Bedroom line would stop the next day. Ridge commented that Forrester Creations was back in the business of fashion. Thorne warned "God help us when Brooke finds out."
