Stephanie went to Taylor's to try to convince her to not admit she knew of Massimo's plan to get Brooke away from Ridge. Taylor had already decided that she would admit what she knew to Ridge because she wasn't happy about her deception to Brooke in the first place.

Meanwhile on the return trip from Paris, Ridge comforted Brooke about her father's lie that he was dying. Brooke cried on Ridge's shoulder. They condemned Stephanie and Massimo for plotting to keep them apart. Brooke was curious about how Ridge would handle Taylor's role in the deception. Brooke reminded Ridge that Taylor was cruel to make Brooke believe she should be in Paris with her dying father. Ridge defended Stephen's actions. Ridge had no defense for Taylor's actions.

Eric confronted Massimo about Brooke's accident. He accused Massimo of doing illegal things and threatened to report him to the police. Eric warned Massimo to stay away from his family or he would take Massimo down. Massimo defended his plot to keep Brooke away from Ridge. Eric predicted that when Ridge and Brooke discover his plan to keep them apart, it would only bring them closer together. Massimo, therefore, will be responsible for the end of Ridge and Taylor's marriage.

Taylor revealed to Stephanie that if she hadn't panicked about Brooke, she would have never agreed to deceive Brooke. She assured Stephanie that Ridge may become angry when he learns the truth, however, there's not a chance, he would leave she and the children.

While still on the trip home, Ridge told Brooke that integrity was Taylor's strongest point. Brooke explained to Ridge that Taylor and Stephanie sensed that she and Ridge were becoming closer, hence their plan to keep them apart. Ridge called Taylor's behavior unbelievable to him. He told Brooke that it changes everything. Ridge called Taylor from the plane. He asked that Katherine take the children to the park so they can speak alone. When Taylor asked Ridge if everything's all right, he told her that everything is not all right as Brooke snuggled next to him on the plane.

At Brooke's house, Ridge made sure she was okay then gave her a hug. He gave her his cell phone numbers in case she needed him, then left.

At Taylor's, Stephanie and Massimo tried to convince Taylor to not admit her involvement in Massimo's plot to get Brooke our of Ridge's life. Becoming angrier, Taylor blatantly refused and informed them she is revealing all to Ridge today. She felt, perhaps, Ridge is aware of the truth, already.

Rick told himself he's been a fool as he thought about Deacon and Amber kissing. Amber arrived home very excited about the items she had just purchased for their expected baby. Rick questioned why she was suddenly excited about being pregnant.

Amber told him because she's so in love with her husband. When Amber left to meet Ginger, Rick sought Thorne's advice. Rick told Thorne he had seen Amber-kissing Deacon. Rick was upset that Amber still was in love with Deacon, and pregnant with Rick's child.

Brooke told Megan that Ridge is disillusioned with Taylor's behavior and her part in Stephen's deception of Brooke. Ridge sees Taylor differently now. Taylor has given Ridge a lot of ammunition for him to leave her with. Brooke felt certain that Ridge would leave Taylor. Brooke told Megan that she and Ridge would finally be together.

As Massimo and Stephanie were leaving Taylor's, Ridge walked in. He slammed the door and demanded that they both stay. Ridge scolded Stephanie, Massimo and Taylor for their plot to deceive Brooke. Ridge defended all of Brooke's past actions, but condemned what Stephanie, Massimo and Taylor had done. Massimo took all of the blame. He also revealed that Taylor and Stephanie didn't have much choice but to go along with his plot because he wasn't going to allow anyone to stop him. Ridge punched Massimo in the face. Ridge viciously called Massimo a low life thug and threatened to kill him if he didn't leave his family alone. Ridge called Massimo, Stephanie and Taylor's actions cold, calculated cruelty. He defended Brooke, by telling them that she 's a flirt, a free spirit, and harmless, however, it didn't justify their actions. Taylor and Stephanie trued to rationalize to Ridge that they went along with Massimo in an effort to save his marriage and family. Ridge demanded Massimo and Stephanie out so he could talk to Taylor alone.
