Stephanie walks up to Eric and kisses him. She thanks him for loving her. He still doesn't trust her intentions when it comes to Brooke but they have managed to set aside their differences by agreeing to disagree. As the subject changes, the topic of Thorne and the Presidency of Forrester Creations comes up. Stephanie feels that Thorne wants to show them that he is ready to be a more meaningful part of the family company. Eric and Stephanie agree that they do not want to make the same mistakes with Thorne that they did with Ridge. Stephanie tells Eric that Thorne needs a place in the family where he can feel secure. He needs to be his own man and to get out of Ridge's shadow.

After pleasantries are exchanged, Stephanie offers to throw them an engagement party. Getting down to business, Eric says the President will be required to fill a large position.

He tells Eric that he has worked hard and proven himself and he deserves that job for all the hard work he has put in over the years. Eric says many things are a factor in determining whether or not someone is appointed President. However, the time has come, and he presents and uncovers a desk plaque, naming Thorne Forrester, President.

In Hawaii, Nick questioned if Brooke was becoming attracted to him. Nick told Brooke that he wants to hear about her feelings for him, not other men. Nick was referring to Ridge.

Samantha comforted Caitlin in her office. Caitlin told Samantha that she wished there were no holidays or birthdays so she would not always become sad during them. Caitlin revealed that she was feeling very distant from her father and that he did not yet know that she is working at Logan Designs.

Amber encouraged Hector to inform Caitlin that Samantha is her mother. Hector revealed reasons why he would never do that. Hector revealed to Amber that Caitlin's mother did not want her. Hector felt it was better for Caitlin to believe that her mother was dead, rather than know her mother did not want her. When Amber continued to press Hector about Caitlin, he revealed that when Caitlin was born Samantha's family made him sign an agreement that he could have custody of Caitlin only if he agreed never to contact Samantha ever again. Hector commented that it was hard for him to believe that Samantha would have agreed to never see her child.

At Stephanie's, Samantha confided in Stephanie that her intern at work reminds her of the child she lost. Samantha also confided about the connection she feels with this intern. Stephanie cautioned Samantha to not let this intern take advantage of her.

Caitlin arrived home and confronted Hector about her new internship. She told Hector that she was afraid to tell him. Caitlin also revealed that she felt very distant from Hector and wanted to fix that. Caitlin went to sleep and had nightmares about looking for her mother. Hector awoke Caitlin from her sleep. While Caitlin was still sleeping, Hector heard Caitlin say "Mother, where are you"?

Hector verbally attacked Samantha today, accusing her of being cold and just like her mother, Priscilla. Sam was horrified at the spiteful and cruel things Hector spat at her about their baby daughter. The conversation between the two came close to revealing a very long lie and secret. Priscilla was on the landing of the stairs at Sam's, listening, when she burst down the stairs and Sam burst out the front door. When Hector ran after her, Priscilla demanded he stop going after Sam and listen to what she had to say. Hector demanded answers from Priscilla, wondering how and why Samantha would think their baby daughter was dead. She stated that she would tell him everything.

In paradise (Hawaii), Brooke cried and sobbed on the phone to Ridge about Nick wanting to make love to her. Ridge told her he really couldn't handle the whole situation of him having to be the one to help her decide if she would or wouldn't sleep with Nick. In the bedroom, Jackie phoned to make sure everything was going as hoped for and Nick got on her case for the "intervention" for Brooke. He told Jackie that things were moving surely but slowly and that Brooke would decide when to make the move. Saying goodbye and holding the ukulele, Nick's jaw dropped as Brooke stepped through the door and stood near the foot of the bed in the lingerie Nick had given her. He got up and guided her to the bed and began to make love to her. The show flashed between Ridge grabbing his drawing pencils and sketch pad and Nick and Brooke advancing to their destination with images of Ridge drawing like a madman, then Brooke and Nick moving closer, touching more, caressing. It seemed that Ridge's pencil drawings intensified with rage while Nick and Brooke relaxed and submitted to a fire of a different sort.

Thorne Forrester, President. He is pleased to be running Forrester Creations with his Dad, his "old man." Thorne says he is finally out of Ridge's shadow and can shine on his own.
