Rick says that Macy will be crushed if Thorne ends the marriage. Brooke says that she didn't want Macy to be hurt and she didn't wish her any ill will. She tells him how Thorne was her best friend and then she realized that it was so much more. She said that she had found in Thorne what she had been searching for her whole life and all that time it had been right in front of her. She said that they had tried to deny their feelings for one another because they did not want to hurt anyone. She said that Thorne had proposed to her in Venice, but Ridge and Eric had ruined it , but that they had now found their way back to each other. Rick asked her if Ridge followed her to Venice. He said that if Ridge had done anything to hurt her again, he would answer to him. Brooke tells him that all had been forgotten and she didn't want to discuss what happened. Rick tells her that it might be best for them both to forget about each other and move on with their lives. She tells him that it didn't work for him and Kimberly and it wasn't going to work for her and Thorne. Rick said that he would support the relationship if it was really what they both wanted.

Sally and Stephanie are discussing the kids. Sally tells STephanie that she always respected her decision-making and wanted to know what they should do about C.J..

Stephanie said that she would speak with Amber about telling C.J. and Becky because plans needed to be made for the baby.

Macy enters Thorne office, where he and Kimberly are discussing some things. Macy asks Thorne about what he needed to tell her. She lets him know that she knows about Venice. He tells her that they really needed to discuss things and lay everything out on the table. Macy seems a little hesitant at first, but Kimberly tells her that if she wanted Thorne to be honest with her, then she needed to be honest with him. Macy tells him that if he had something on his mind, then she wanted to know what it was. Kimberly tells him that Macy not only had to battle with her insecurities, but that she had had to battle with her alcoholism as well. She said that Macy had been so miserable that she had been tempted to take a drink. Thorne asks Macy if it was true. Macy said that she had not taken a drink, but she had been tempted. She said that she had been under so much pressure that she did have the urge to drink. Thorne doesn't understand why she didn't tell him. She told him that he was working all the time and missing dinners and other events, and that he was with Brooke. She said that she just became more lonely and insecure. She tells him that she thought that this time would be different and that she had tried to fight her insecurities and jealousies. She said that she knew why he proposed to brooke and why he had broken things off with her. She tells him that she had made a decision and that she had been pushed to the brink and that she had become someone that she didn't wish to be. She said that the insanity had to stop, because she couldn't live like that any longer. She said that she knew that he loved her and that she loved him, but her insecurities had eclipsed all of that. Macy said that she realized that she didn't have to worry about Brooke, and that it didn't matter that he had proposed to Brooke because he had married her. Thorne tries to tell her more about him and Brooke, but Macy interrupts him by saying that she knew that he still had feelings for Brooke. She even went on to say that she knew the effect that Brooke had on men, and how she appealed to men's lust and desires, and that she taunts them with her sexuality and flaunts it at them. She said that they were both going to wipe Brooke out of their lives once and for all, and that she was not going to let Brooke devastate them again. She said that they were going to forget about Brooke. Thorne looks like he is lost.

Brooke is sitting at her desk looking at a picture of her and Thorne, when Kimberly storms into her office. Brooke asks Kimberly what was she doing. Kimberly replies, " No, what are you doing. Planning another trip to the steam room?" Brooke says, "excuse me?' Kimberly tells her that she will not excuse her because there was not an excuse for what she had been doing. Kimberly tells her that she won't let her get away with it. Brooke comments that Kimberly is obviously upset, but Kimberly lets her know that she is more than upset.. She tells Brooke that she can't believe that she had ever looked up to her. She said that she never liked what Brooke did to Macy, but she thought that she would have the decency to stay out of her marriage. She called Brooke an immoral homewrecker. Brooke tells her to get out , but Kimberly won't leave and tells Brooke that she will speak to her any way that she wants to. She tells her that she may be her boss, but that Macy was her sister and that it was her job to protect her. She said that if Brooke made one more move towards Thorne, she would have to answer to her.

Macy tells him that it is not important but what was important to her is the confidence in their marriage. She admits that it has been real difficult and that she has been tempted.

She appears reluctant. She tells them how Becky has been there with her for everything. How close they were while growing up. She goes and gets Becky's album and shows the pictures to Sally and Stephanie.

"She didn't have much to smile about growing up. That's why the book is so thin. I know the girl growing up in every picture, because I was there... but it ends here. There will be no wedding picture. She won't have any more birthday parties. She won't see Little Eric growing up. The rest will be empty because Becky won't be here to fill it," Amber laments.

C.J. says she must miss Little Eric and wonders if she feels guilty for leaving him. Becky says a few months ago she would have, but she is different.

Brooke has her back to the door in her office. She hears it open and fears it is Kimberly, but it is Thorne, who looks worried. She explains about Kimberly's visit and asks what happened with Macy. Thorne explains that Macy knows he has feelings for her (Brooke) and has suspected it for a while. He tells her how she almost took a drink due to the suspicions that she has had about the two of them. Thorne says that he did not want to believe that Macy could not handle this. He was too busy not to see it because he was hanging out with Brooke. Brooke reiterates that they did not do anything wrong. She insists that he must tell Macy everything. She must know the truth before it goes on any further about their true feelings for one another. He must do it now! She holds Thorne while he looks bewildered.
