Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) faced financial problems over taxes related to the Grand Phoenix hotel.

On BB, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Shauna (Denise Richards) prepared to renew their wedding vows, but Katie (Heather Tom) informed him that Quinn (Rena Sofer) and Shauna have been manipulating him. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) squared off against Quinn and returned home, dejected.

Brooke fantasized about a reunion she once shared with Ridge that included flower petals. She looked down and saw petals in her bedroom. They were from Ridge! He called off the renewal ceremony to Shauna and informed Brooke that they were back together.
