Brooke and Ridge enjoy their time alone at Big Bear and reflect on their history together. Ridge reassures Brooke that this time around they will get their happy ending. They kiss. Back in L.A., Blake questions Margo about what motivates the Forrester Matriarch. Blake then seeks advice from Taylor as he seems to be uncomfortable with the fact that Stephanie forged a letter. After finding out that Little Eric and his nanny are staying at the Forrester Mansion, Thorne deduces that Ridge and Brooke went away together - and that Stephanie encouraged it. Thorne is appalled by this joint betrayal of his father. Stephanie is convinced that she is doing the right thing, until she intercepts a letter from Eric to Brooke - via Little Eric's trusting nanny Judy - in which he expresses his devotion to his wife.
