Steffy can't hear what Thomas and Sheila are saying but she can see that the conversation is intense. Steffy decides to go back home where she meets with Finn, who is equally surprised to hear that Thomas and Sheila had a meeting - in an alley behind Il Giardino. Eric asks Ridge how he's doing. Ridge feels conflicted when Eric tells him that Taylor is an exceptional woman, but that Brooke will always be Ridge's destiny. Thomas doesn't want to disappoint his family again by keeping a secret, but Sheila demands him to keep his mouth shut or disappointment will come - in the form of Brooke Logan. Brooke remembers how Stephanie used to treat her. She tells Hope that Stephanie was right to try and rid her of the Forrester family. Ridge then enters and Hope urges Brooke to speak from her heart. Alone, Brooke tells Ridge that she made a mistake in telling him to go to Taylor. She asks Ridge to come back home.
