At the altar, Eric seemed almost frozen as he was about to say his vows. He looked at Stephanie one last time, saying "forgive me." Then after prompting from Donna, he continued with his vows and Donna and Eric were officially married. Immediately after the ceremony, Felicia led her mother out to the terrace where she couldn't believe that Eric had actually gone through with the wedding. Saddened, but having to accept what happened, Stephanie returned inside and lifted a glass to toast the happy couple. As the Forrester children gathered around her, Stephanie asked them to stay and have a good time for their father's sake. She then bid them farewell and left. Outside, she took one last look at the home that she and Eric shared and secretly wished him, good luck.
Katie, still upset about getting Storm's heart, was stopping Nick from trying to cheer her up. In the meantime Ashley arrived to tell her that Donna and Eric were now married, but also to tell Katie, that she was not in any danger from Storm. He was trying to explain to her what had happened to make her see that he was not that vicious of a person. It was then that Katie realized, that because she and Storm had struggled over the gun in Storm's hand, she was the one who pulled the trigger. She sobbed as she told Nick that she was the one who killed Storm.
