Macy sings in a restaurant in Portofino. She sings the song that was hers and Thorne's song long ago. After she finishes, she joins Lorenzo at his table. He asks if she was singing for "him."

Now that he is in Italy, she is all he thinks about. He tells Sally that Macy was the one woman that he truly loved.

Brooke says that she can't totally rule out everything Massimo said; after all she has disappointed and let Ridge down in the past. Ridge is surprised by her comments. He asks her if she honestly thinks there is nothing that he doesn't know about her. All the while, Brooke is aware there is a lot Ridge doesn't know. Ridge goes further to tell Brooke that even though he hasn't said it, he wants her to know that she has been a lifesaver to him. Brooke says all she wants is to be his friend but she has doubts about whether that is the right thing to do. She points out that if Ridge weren't spending so much time with her, he'd be available to spend time with anyone he wanted. Ridge makes it clear to Brooke that he's not looking for someone to be in his life at this time. Ridge reassures Brooke that Stephanie has noticed her positive character changes and he has noticed them too. Brooke agrees that she has grown a lot.
