Kristen confides in Margo and tells her that she is determined to fight the other woman in Clarke's life as soon as she finds out who it is. Meanwhile, Stephanie visits Clarke at his loft and pressures him to stop loving her. Clarke refuses and kisses Stephanie. Eric explains to Brooke that he will pay Beth's medical bills. The next visitor at the hospital is Ridge which touches Brooke. They are both surprised when Caroline arrives shortly later to show her love and support to Beth. At the Forrester Mansion, Ridge accepts the shipment with the yearbooks from ...

Bill reminds Thorne that he does not want Caroline working at Forrester Creations because of Ridge. Thorne has one important stipulation in order that he will convince his wife to join Spencer Publications: Bill must not interfere with Caroline if she takes the job. Katie, Donna and Helen anxiously await news from the doctor. Meanwhile, Brooke tells Storm that she has realized that she has to come clean to Caroline about her involvement with Ridge. Beth's mastectomy is a success. Dr. Bailey explains that they will soon know if the cancer has spread. Ridge informs ...

Eric is scolding at Margo during a fitting with some models. Later, he apologizes and explains that he is concerned about a friend with cancer. Kristen asks Stephanie for advice about Clarke, but Stephanie has none. Brooke tells Eric that Beth is out of surgery and he is relieved. Kristen convinces Eric to put her and Clarke's designs into production. Still unsure whether Liz Henderson is now living under the name Beth Logan, Stephanie goes to the hospital where Beth's room is currently empty. Stephanie looks around a bit and finds Beth's bible and the flowers Eric ...

Ridge tries to persuade Caroline to join Forrester Creations instead of Spencer Publications. Kristen informs Clarke that Eric is producing her and his designs. She also explains to Clarke that she believes in their relationship and will fight the other woman to keep him. Rocco joins the Logans at the hospital to greet Beth as she wakes up from surgery. Everyone is optimistic - except for Beth. She weeps over her lost breast and says that she does not want to see Eric again. Stephanie is crushed about Liz Henderson's true identity but still wants to fight for her ...

Ridge asks Thorne to talk Caroline into working at Forester Creations, but Thorne says it is her decision when the person in question walks into the room. Caroline reveals to Thorne that she is still unsure. Thorne reveals that he spoke to Bill and he is willing to give her complete creative freedom. Caroline then leaves to speak to her father. She agrees to work for Spencer Publications under the condition that Bill will not interfere in her personal life and just guide her during the launch of the fashion magazine. Bill happily accepts. Brooke pays a visit to ...

Beth is very depressed despite her children's optimism that she will be fine from now on. Dr. Bailey then has indeed news: Beth's tests show no cancer to everyone's relief. Stephanie devises a plot to get Beth away from Eric: she has to find her missing husband. Ridge works with Rocco on accessories for his potential collection. They soon shift the topic to Rocco's personal life and Ridge convinces Rocco to pursue Donna. Rocco buys Donna a ring which he leaves in Katie's jacket mistaking it for Donna's. Assuming the ring is for her, Katie is thrilled when she finds it...

Katie stuns Beth, Storm and Donna with the happy news that she found an engagement ring in her jacket and that Rocco left a note proposing marriage. Donna reacts with a painful look on her face. Meanwhile, Rocco fills Ridge in how he followed up on his advice. Stephanie hires a private detective on an exclusive basis: she wants Conway Weston to find Stephen Logan as soon as possible and to reunite him with Beth. Brooke informs Eric that Beth is now cancer-free. Eric is overjoyed that the tests are negative. He wants to start a new life with Beth and hints that he ...

Katie is beaming with joy over her engagement ring. Donna fields Rocco's call who invites her over to Café Russe before she can explain to him what happened. As they meet all dressed up in the fancy restaurant, Donna informs Rocco that Katie thinks his ring is for her. Rocco vows to tell Katie the truth even though it will probably hurt her. Caroline is excited about her new job and rejects Thorne's suggestion about having a baby anytime soon. Kristen confides in Ridge that she is still seeing Clarke.

Kristen is anxious to talk to Stephanie because she wants to invite Clarke over for dinner, but she is nowhere to be found. Ridge is impressed that his sister is determined to keep the man. Meanwhile, Stephanie tells Clarke about Eric's affair and the detective she hired. Underlining that his divorce from Stephanie is long overdue, Eric urges Beth to look forward and move on with their lives: he wants to get married soon despite her fear of not being a whole woman. When Eric cancels dinner due to "another commitment", Stephanie gives Conway the green light to find ...

Eric meets up with Storm to discuss a delicate matter. He reminds Storm that his father is gone for nearly 8 years now and that Beth deserves the chance to start over fresh. Rather surprisingly, Storm is not opposed that Eric wants to marry his mother. He advises Eric that divorce on grounds of desertion might be the better option instead of having Stephen declared legally dead. Stephanie meets with Conway Weston to begin the search for Stephen Logan. Ridge and Brooke have dinner at the Ocean Club and discuss their family problems. Eric returns home and does not beat ...

Kristen asks Stephanie if Clarke may join for family dinner tonight which she agrees to. Later, Clarke reluctantly accepts the invitation. Ridge notices his mother's preoccupation and correctly assumes that Stephanie now knows about the other woman in Eric's life. Storm and Brooke discuss Eric's plan to get married and having their father declared legally dead. Both think that their mother deserves a happy future. When Grandma Logan spots her new watch, Beth has to confess that it was a Christmas present from Eric. Helen reminds Beth that she is a married woman and ...

Caroline arrives for her first day at work at Spencer Publications. Bill spoils his daughter and aspiring editor-in-chief with a splashing office. Clarke is confused as to why Stephanie agreed to Kristen's plan to invite him over for dinner tonight. Stephanie thanks Clarke for accidentally bringing her closer to her daughter. Margo is surprised to find Kristen sketching a wedding dress. Kristen explains to Margo that she is sure she can win Clarke over. Storm takes first steps to have his father declared legally dead. Stephanie has called Brooke over as part of her ...

Brooke visits her mother in the hospital to tell her that she just had tea with Stephanie Forrester. Meanwhile, Stephanie delivers the latest information on Stephen Logan to Conway Weston. Kristen asks Eric and Ridge to come to dinner to meet Clarke. Margo and Ridge both warn Kristen that Eric's reaction could be harsh as soon as he finds out that the man is working for the knock-off-fashion house Spectra Fashion. Later, Eric visits Beth and reassures her that he still finds her desirable. He is kissing her when Clarke accidentally walks in and is shocked to see Eric ...

It's the evening of the dinner event at the Forresters. Brooke sneakily scores an invite from Ridge who also flirts flagrantly with Caroline until Thorne shows up. Kristen is extremely nervous because of her father's possible reaction to Clarke's employer, but Stephanie offers support. Kristen thanks her mother. At the hospital, Eric is intent to skip the family dinner but Beth feels conflicted. She begs Eric to attend and be present when his daughter introduces her beau to the family. At the Forrester Mansion everyone arrives all dressed up: Brooke apologizes to ...

Tensions run high at the Forrester Mansion: Upon being introduced to Eric, Clarke bluntly reveals that he works for Spectra Fashion. A stunned Eric runs off, presumably because he is in disgust to host someone who is working for a company which was copied his designs for years. While Kirsten is proud of him for standing up to his work as a designer, Ridge is suspicious of Clarke's motive to unveil his fishy employer so soon. Later, Clarke explains to Eric that he will not tell anyone about their encounter in the hospital earlier. Brooke confesses to Caroline that she ...

Stephanie realizes that she has to act fast if she wants to save her marriage. Conway tells Stephanie that he needs a picture of Mr. Logan to have any shot of finding him soon, so Stephanie visits the Logans. To her delight, simple-hearted Katie opens the door and willingly shows her a family photo album. Unnoticed by Katie, Stephanie steals a photograph of Beth's missing husband. Storm and Beth discuss starting divorce proceedings. When Grandma Logan walks into the room and hears that Beth wants to declare Stephen dead, she is furious despite Storm's protests. ...

Margo urges Ridge to talk to his father one more time about his notion to start a fast fashion line. Eric's position has not changed though: he wants to keep Forrester Creations in Haute Couture and strongly opposes to the idea to enter the mass merchandising market. In the hospital, Dr. Bailey removes Beth's bandages which proves to be a tough step for her. Katie tells Brooke about Mrs. Forrester's visit to their house. Brooke wonders why Stephanie came to visit, but is too excited about Beth coming home the next day to care. Meanwhile, Grandma Logan confronts Eric. ...

Stephanie is devastated to learn that Conway Weston's investigation hits a major snag: Stephen Logan's social security number has not been used for 8 years. Conway tells Stephanie to prepare for the inevitable that he might be dead. Brooke and Storm discuss Grandma Logan's feelings, but still think Beth has a right to marry Eric. Ridge continues to work on his mass marketing collection and receives valuable input from Brooke, Margo and Rocco. He damps their enthusiasm, though, and hints that these designs might never see the light of day at Forrester Creations.

Stephanie confides in Clarke about the devastating news she received on the investigation. Thorne proudly shows Thorne her new office at Spencer Publications and breaks it to her husband that will work under her maiden name. Bill wants one of his finest art directors, Valerie Cooper, to work on his daughter's new magazine. Valerie is not interested at first, but changes her mind when she hears Caroline's ideas. Kristen presents Clarke with a real-life model of his sketch and tells her thrilled boyfriend that his design will be in the fall line-up. Later, Ridge ...

Donna tells a devastated Rocco she cannot see him anymore. She wants to make more of her live than waitressing and therefore goes to see Tommy Bayland for a proper modeling job. She even considers modeling lingerie. Meanwhile, Storm is not sure whether he likes the way Brooke is behaving around Ridge. Thorne tells Caroline he is proud of her after her first day at work. Caroline is still preoccupied by Brooke's confession that she intercepted Ridge's letter. Ridge invites Brooke over to the Forrester Mansion for a swim. Caroline watches from the house as Ridge and ...

Caroline works with Valerie on the new fashion magazine. Brooke who is anxious to find out if Caroline has told Ridge about the letter arrives for a visit. A bitter Caroline retorts that she has not, yet, and accuses Brooke of betraying their friendship. Brooke turns the tables and openly wonders if Caroline is still in love with Ridge. Ridge notices his mother's sullen mood and offers to bring the family together to talk to Eric about the divorce, but Stephanie refuses. Eric picks Beth up at the hospital to bring her home. Stephanie decides to confront Eric about ...

Stephanie fantasizes in different ways about what will happen when she confronts Eric about his affair with Beth and her missing husband. When Eric is out of the office, Conway manages to reach Stephanie in time, though. She is thrilled to hear that the detective has found a lead that might reunite the Logan family very soon. Brooke begs Thorne to convince Caroline not to tell Ridge the truth about the letter. Thorne explains that he will try to stay out of this situation as best as possible to protect his own marriage, but promises that he will try if Caroline asks ...

Ridge notices that Stephanie's mood seems to have changed for the better. This soon changes, though: Eric informs Stephanie that he will not wait any longer and that she will get the divorce papers later that day. Meanwhile, Grandma Logan is served with papers to declare her son Stephen legally dead and is furious with Storm for doing it. When Storm comes home, he tries to explain to Helen why his court filings are the only right thing to do because it is merely accepting the inevitable: that his father is long dead. In Utah, Conway locates the hotel in which the ...

Conway Weston poses as a building instructor in Salt Lake City to get into Stephen Logan's hotel room. Unfortunately, the guest living there turns out to be not the man in question. He explains that he found Mr. Logan's wallet in Tucson, Arizona, but never met him in person. Storm is worried about Donna's modeling job, but she reassures him that the agency is a legitimate business. She heads over to Tommy's and informs him that she is now willing to do the lingerie shoot. Tommy is thrilled and immediately goes to work and takes sample shots of Donna. At Spencer ...

Rocco tries to win Donna back, but she refuses to hurt Katie. Suddenly, Katie shows up and happily presents her fiancé her new hairdo. Rocco makes a cautious attempt to correct Katie's extremely positive image of him. At Forrester Creations, Brooke is amazed by the luxury of Ridge's work and lifestyle. Margo witnesses an intimate moment between them and later warns Brooke not to get too attached to Ridge. Over at Spencer Publications, Thorne tells Caroline that it was his idea to take the letter, but she does not buy it. Thorne tries to make Caroline understand that ...

Conway gives Stephanie an update on his hunt for Stephen Logan. He tells Stephanie that he will have to go to Tucson to track down Mr. Logan, but the good news is that he seems to be still alive. Eric comes clean to Ridge about his intentions to divorce Stephanie and practically admits there is another woman. He asks Ridge to convince Stephanie to let him tell the rest of the family. Thorne informs Brooke that he covered for her, but that Caroline is still angry at them both about the intercepted letter. When he comes home, a furious Caroline confronts Thorne whether ...

Caroline cannot decide whether or not to tell Ridge the truth. She remains vague while speaking to Bill what is troubling her, yet she cannot stop rehashing in her mind how Brooke manipulated her to marry Thorne last year. Meanwhile, Thorne reassures Brooke that Caroline will eventually see that moving on from Ridge was the right decision. Brooke then pumps Thorne for information on Margo's feelings for Ridge, but he thinks that Margo is interested in another man besides his brother. After learning from Stephanie that she has indeed been served divorce papers, Ridge ...

Clarke visits Stephanie, but is disappointed to realize that she does not trust him. In Tucson, Conway puts the supermarket where the drifter in Salt Lake City allegedly ...

Kristen and Ridge open up to Thorne about their parent's divorce. The three of them wonder who the other woman is in Eric's life. Kristen goes to see their father and begs Eric to reconsider, but he refuses. Beth confronts Helen for pressuring Eric to stay away. She reminds her mother-in-law that she has remained a faithful wife for many years and that the children are now adults; therefore she will not stand by any interference in her love life as she deserves her happy ending with Eric. Grandma Logan packs up and decides to move out the house because she will not ...

Caroline puts the screws on Brooke and repeats her demand: either Brooke will leave Ridge or she will tell Ridge everything about the intercepted letter.

Caroline shrugs and makes it clear that Brooke has proven with her deceptive actions that she does not deserve Ridge. Clarke comforts Kristen about her parent's divorce. Margo is miserable that Eric is finally leaving his wife, yet she is still not winning his affection. She asks Eric who the other woman is, but he stays mum. ...

Brooke tells Thorne about Caroline's ultimatum. She cannot believe that he wants to stay out of this drama and considers it a mere conflict between her and his wife. At Café Russe, Ridge manages to lift Stephanie's spirits. When they spot Kristen and Clarke also having dinner there, Ridge is less than gracious to his sister's boyfriend. Brooke returns home and explains to Storm that it is over between her and Ridge. Later, Ridge asks Brooke out, but she tearfully turns him down. Thorne presses Caroline to move.

Rocco urges Donna to take her chance and look into nude modeling. Donna is unsure, though, whether she can trust Tommy that her photographs would indeed only be published in Europe.

Eric and Margo make last preparations for the Fall showing at Forrester Creations. Eric then surprises Kristen that not only will "her" design be the showstopper, but he also wants his daughter to model the gown. Kristen is stunned, but also begins to get concerned. Can she really trust Clarke as she will pass off his design as a Forrester original? Clarke is thrilled for Kristen's and his big break. Donna informs Tommy that she will pose for the nude photos under one condition: she wants to speak to the publisher upfront. In Tucson, Stephanie and Conway ponder why ...

It's the night before the fashion show and the choice of the center piece causes upheaval: Margo voices her frustration to Ridge that none of her designs made it into the collection while the boss' daughter gets the showstopper in her first year as a designer at Forrester Creations.

Ridge is frustrated that the company is staying in the niche market, but Thorne advises him to give up his plans for a mass marketing scheme. Later, Margo serves as presenter of the fashion ...

Eric, Ridge and Margo celebrate the success of the fashion show. Kristen excuses herself from the festivities, though, and heads to Clarke's apartment where she vows her unconditional love to her boyfriend. Brooke begs Caroline to change her mind. Caroline claims that it is not about her being hurt, but she rather considers it her task to protect Ridge to get hurt by Brooke as well. Later, Ridge feels rejected by Brooke when she turns him down for another date. Stephanie grows anxious whether Conway's plan will pan out. Beth and Storm return home from court and are ...

Storm is stunned: an anonymous letter claims that Stephen is living in Tucson, Arizona. Brooke is miserable to drive Ridge away to comply with Caroline's ultimatum. To soothe his hurt ego, Ridge calls his old acquaintance Natalie to join him for dinner tonight. He admits to Stephanie, though, that Brooke has gotten under his skin. After hiding the letter from Beth, Storm confides in Brooke that someone is playing tricks on hem in regards to their father. He wants to forget about the letter, but Brooke cannot brush over the fact that Stephen could be alive so easily. ...

Storm tells Brooke that he ran into her ex fiancé Dave who still misses her. Brooke explains that she is now only in love with Ridge, yet cannot see him any longer. Storm and Brooke switch their discussion to the ominous letter which claims that their father is still alive. It is Caroline's birthday. Bill pressures his hard working daughter to actually consider moving into a house of her own with Thorne. The young marrieds then meet at the Café Russe where they are joined by Ridge who for once is not having a lady by his side. Eventually, Ridge invites Brooke over, ...

Thorne gives Caroline an unwelcome birthday present. Ridge wonders if Brooke will stand him up. Rocco's mock fight with Stacy ends with her dumping a bowl of chili over his head.

Ridge informs Margo that he still plans to go ahead with the mass marketing idea. Kristen then asks Ridge to put in a good word for Clarke with Eric as he is treated unfairly just because he is working for Spectra Fashions. Margo continues to flirt with Clarke and vents her frustration about her future at Forrester Creations in light of Kristen's successful debut. She also notes that she is impressed by Kristen's showstopper design as it was very different from her usual work. Stephanie pushes Conway to observe the Logans in order to find out whether they are taking ...

Stephanie and Eric reminisce about the good times and have a profound conversation about friendship in light of their impending divorce. Eric is impressed by his wife's tranquility despite the end of their marriage. Storm and Brooke are still at odds whether they should follow up on the lead on their long-missing father.

Pondering Beth's words, Brooke is even more unsure than before if she should try to get confirmation whether Stephen is alive. Later, Conway ...

Brooke is stunned to see her father for the first time since age 14.

He tells Stephanie that he will kill Ridge if he gets out of line with Caroline. Stephanie worries about Thorne's threat. Caroline tells Bill that she is ...

Stephen explains to Brooke that he cannot give her a simple answer why he left. He urges to never believe she or the other children made him run away.

Kristen and Clarke discuss their next steps to pave the way for Clarke joining Forrester Creations. Later, Clarke meets with Margo and informs her that lunch with Ridge went pretty well. Margo curbs his ...
