She begs him to go, and Ridge says that he will, but asks her not to do anything silly. Bridget, angry, tells him that he has no right to tell her what to do because he is not her brother anymore. As he leaves, Ridge tells her that he will not stop caring for her. After he leaves, she puts on her record of the song that reminds her of Italy, but then grabs the record and breaks it.
