Taylor was beginning to think that the "wine" was looking better and better, amid all the problems that she seemed to have. Stephanie had been handed her divorce papers by Eric. At first Donna stood up to Stephanie by rejecting her proposal to free her father and brother while setting Eric free in return, then caved in to Stephanie, and agreed to the deal that Brooke made with her. Stephanie went to the police and had Stephen freed from jail, thus ending the ordeal of who shot Stephanie. Eric was thrilled at planning a future with Donna until she told him that she could not marry him. Donna, using a "sex-addiction" as the way to end it with Eric was surprised when Eric told her they would seek help for her together. Storm and Stephen left for Europe to get Storm help and get some time for the two of them to bond once again as father and son. Brooke offered Nick some tender compassion, holding his hand, and telling him that his wife needed to get some professional help, while Taylor witnessed the scene and thought something else.
