Storm and Ashley concluded their dinner date with Ashley offering to take a cab home. After seeing Ridge sitting and talking with Ashley, Storm surmised that Ridge told her about shooting his mother and was determined not to let that interfere with his relationship with Ashley. Nick found himself caught up in a battle with the women in his life when they all had their own conclusions as to who should share custody with him and baby Jack. Rick stood by Taylor by having a contract drawn up letting both Nick and Taylor share joint custody, but Nick was still having doubts. Brooke insisted that Taylor was still unstable, although Nick put her in her place by telling her that it would be his decision and his decision alone. Bridget wanted whatever Nick wanted and the newcomer, Katie, was starting to have those strange feelings of her own towards Nick. Donna, afraid of Pam's dog, Tiny, gave him some lemon bars, and when he became ill and died, Pam blamed Donna for the death of her beloved dog. She didn't think that the dogs death might have been due to the missed medication that she, herself, hadn't given Tiny, because of the dog's heart condition. Donna suddenly became afraid for her life knowing that Donna's threats to get even with her, would come true. Taylor received her psychiatric evaluation which proved that she was better and the hearing was to be the following day to determine the custody of baby Jack. To prove his love to her, Rick proposed marriage to Taylor.
