At Ridge and Taylor's, Amber receives a tape of the new jingle for the Ambrosia line. She listens and likes it until she sees the name on the tape - Erica Lovejoy. As a stunned Amber stares at the tape, Ridge comes into the room and taunts her on how Erica has taken over Amber's place. He wonders how long Rick will be able to resist Erica without Amber around.

Rick resists Erica when she kisses him and asks him to make love to her. She says she wants to show him how much she cares for him. Rick tells her that he likes her better when she is herself. He would rather have a nice meal and spend time with the Erica he knows. Erica, embarrassed for the way she acted, apologizes for coming on so strong. She tries to kiss him again, asking if he would like to relive the amazing moment of their first kiss. Rick explains to Erica that the kiss was not what she thought it was. He was only feeling sorry for her about her mom leaving town. He insists that even if the two of them slept together, he is still married and in love with Amber. Erica tells Rick that she wants him to feel safe, cherished and loved, and she wants to give him that. The moment is interrupted when Amber calls. Amber wants to discuss the jingle, but Rick tells her that he can't talk right now, and he will call her in the morning. Before she hangs up, Amber tells him that she loves him. Rick tells Erica that the celebration is over, and he is going up to bed. When he leaves Erica alone in the living room, she vows that next time, it will happen for the two of them.

Sheila had been trying repeatedly to reach Erica to get details on her evening with Rick. Erica arrives home to tell her mother that she and Rick had a romantic dinner, music, dancing, but they did not sleep together. Sheila tells Erica she can't waste time in landing Rick and Erica responds by saying she needs to take things slow or she might end pushing Rick away. The two argue over Erica's strategy for getting Rick to sleep with her. Sheila asks why Erica isn't with Rick and learns that Eric planned a dinner for the family and Rick didn't invite Erica. Erica doesn't like the idea of her mother trying to push her to trap Rick with a baby. Sheila tells her daughter that if she doesn't get pregnant, Eric will try to break up any involvement between her and Rick when he finds out that she is Sheila's daughter. Sheila tells Erica she has experience and knows what she's talking about. She confides that there is someone she is interested in and she planned to surprise him that evening.

While waiting for the Rick and Bridget to arrive, Brooke and Eric discuss their hopes for how the evening will go, and Stephanie's absenting herself from the evening so they can all have quality time together. Brooke doesn't understand Stephanie's attraction to Massimo when she could be with Eric. Rick and Bridget arrive. Rick is glad they have time together as a family, but Bridget questions when they've ever been a "real" family. Brooke thanks Bridget for staying for the evening. Brooke had hoped that she and her daughter had begun to repair their relationship. She says she understands what Bridget is going through, to which Bridget asks if Brooke's mother had slept with her husband like Brooke did with Bridget's. Brooke is surprised to continue to be rejected by Bridget. Eric proposes a toast with his family telling them they haven't all acted much like family but they should remember that families hurt one another but family love one another and stick together. He says he believes in second chances and they all clink glasses.

Massimo opens the door to Stephanie making an unannounced visit to his apartment. Stephanie tells Massimo that she came to apologize for not keeping in touch with him. Massimo says he won't ask about Stephanie spending time with Eric. Stephanie admits to Massimo that she loves Eric. When Massimo asks why she is staying in the guesthouse instead of Eric's bed, she replies Eric "maybe needs a lesson" in rejection. Massimo wants to know if Stephanie is using him to get to Eric and make him jealous. Massimo tells Stephanie that Eric will always be loyal to Brooke and he will never give Stephanie what she needs. Stephanie tells Massimo she doesn't want to hurt Massimo but it's not their destiny to be together. Massimo tells her Eric better not do anything to hurt Stephanie. Stephanie says she trusts Eric enough to encourage him to have a family dinner with Brooke. During the conversation, Stephanie finds an earring and asks Massimo who's been in his bed. In the midst of their conversation there is a knock at the door - it is Sheila, come to surprise Massimo!
