Brooke tells Donna her "sex show" degraded the Line and the damage may be unsalvageable. Ridge defends Donna, saying everybody loved the show. Brooke points out that several of the buyers were offended and walked out. She tells Ridge his designs were beautiful, but Donna demeaned the line by acting like a stripper. Donna tells Brooke her problem is that she is still in love with Ridge and still wants to work at Forrester, but can't because of Nick. Donna says Brooke is upset because she is not center stage anymore. Brooke argues that she is just trying to keep her sister and The Bedroom Line from being the laughing stock of the fashion world. Ridge thinks Brooke is over reacting and defends Donna. He admits that he was the one who told Donna how to model for the show adding that Brooke couldn't have done it better. Brooke is hurt that Ridge thinks she is so easy to replace. Ridge replies that nothing would make him happier than for her to be his model again. Donna says that will never happen because of Nick. Ridge feels the main problem is that Brooke is never around to give her input, since Nick won't allow her to work at Forrester. He tells her he needs to work side by side with her so they can collaborate and tries to convince her to come back to Forrester. Brooke is tempted, but before she can think about it Nick calls demanding she return to Marone. After she gets off the phone Ridge tells her to call Nick back and say she is staying. Although that is what she wants to do, Brooke chooses to obey Nick and leave. After she leaves Ridge is upset because he hates to see Brooke being such a wimp. Donna consoles him. Trying to get more positive again, Ridge tells Donna she is a hit and that is what he is going to focus on. Donna beams, telling him she loved being on the runway.
