While having breakfast, Brooke was busy remembering the scene with Nick from the evening before. Katie brought up the idea that maybe Storm should return to Europe to finish his therapy but he said that he was content to remain where he was, with his sisters. Storm mentioned how grateful he still was to Stephanie for not sending him to jail, while his sisters cringed at the very thought. When Storm left the house, Donna told her sisters that they should not be so concerned about Stephanie finding out the truth about her and Eric. They had taken very deliberate plans in making sure that their every action was covered. However, Brooke and Katie reminded Donna just how resourceful Stephanie could be when it came to making something happen.
Eric and Stephanie had a tender moment with their children, as Eric told Thorne, Felicia and Ridge that he was through with Donna and was coming back home. He admitted that he had been all wrong about Donna and was willing to do anything to make amends to Stephanie. While making this speech to his family, his cell phone rang, and it was Donna asking to see him. He made an excuse that something important had come up that needed his attention. When he was gone, Ridge questioned Eric's change of heart to his mother, not believing that his father was being sincere about all he was saying. Stephanie pooh-poohed Ridge's comments and told him that she would appreciate his support.
Eric ran to his hideaway, and waiting for him was Donna. She told him about the conversation with her sisters earlier. The two talked again about how well they were hiding their relationship from Stephanie, saying once again, that they were sure she would never discover the truth.
Waiting for Eric to return, Stephanie started to have some doubts when his "business" took longer than usual.
