Katie wrestles with guilt. Brooke seeks Storm's help.
As Katie continues to listen outside Nick's door, Bridget rails at him about there being another woman! Bridget is convinced it is Brooke and rants about how stupid she was to get caught up in all of this again! Nick stops her by telling her that Brooke is with Ridge, that's not the problem. He again assures Bridget that he loves her, but tries to explain that he doesn't feel he can give her what she deserves. Bridget snipes, "Will you shut up, Nick! That is the biggest cop out I've ever heard!" She says that when they're in the bedroom he sure seems like he wants her in his life. Nick sighs and says it's just moving too fast for him. She insists that they've been taking it slow. She asks if he still wants her around and to have her help with Jack. He says of course he does. She kisses him and says she has to go.
At Forrester Creations, Brooke is surprised to find out from Storm that Ridge fired him! Storm informs her that he shouldn't even be in her office right now! He tells his sister that Ridge even ordered him to stay away from Ashley! Brooke assures Storm she'll set Ridge straight. They then discuss the situation with Taylor and Jack. Storm asks if she really wants to do this - she says she has to! Storm thinks it over and concludes that Brooke may have a leg to stand on legally. Brooke tells him she needs for him to make this happen! Storm suggests to her that before they talk about going into court, there is someone Brooke needs to talk to first! Brooke asks how she could stay in Jack's life without going to court. Storm says she has to convince Nick that it's the right thing. He says she may have no legal rights, so she needs to suggest that all three of them who love the baby find a peaceful resolution. Brooke tells her brother that she won't allow Jack to be raised around Taylor's instability. She says it's frightening to think of the baby winding up with someone who gets drunk, or becomes delusional! Storm insists she needs to talk to Nick.
Rick arrives at Taylor's house and is stunned to find her sobbing. She tells him about her confrontation with Brooke, and her threat to take her to court over Jack. Rick sighs in anger and frustration. As Taylor frets, Rick says he's to blame for Brooke's actions. Taylor stops him by saying that this is exactly what she wants, for one of them to call off the relationship because of her threats! Taylor sighs that she is so tired of Brooke ruining everything for her. Rick reminds Taylor that she is that baby's mother and she should remember that always. Taylor thanks him and they embrace.
Bridget shows up at Forrester Creations right behind Katie. She comes into her office and repeats everything to Katie that was said between her and Nick at the house. Bridget says she's confused about the message he's sending her. Katie tells Bridget that she feels that she should listen to what Nick is trying to tell her and believe him. Bridget is stunned that Katie has changed her mind about Bridget and Nick! "What's going on here? Is there another woman?!" Katie insists that she doesn't really know what to say to her. Bridget asks what she knows - is it Brooke? Katie vows that Nick isn't seeing Brooke. She asks Bridget what she is going to do. Bridget says she's not sure, but she knows Nick loves her. Suddenly, Bridget throws her arms around Katie and says she doesn't know what she'd do without her to talk to! After she leaves, Katie sits in guilt-ridden silence. When her feelings get the best of her, she heads over to Nick's house and bursts through the door. Nick raises his eyebrows. "Well, obviously you don't need a key!" Katie tells Nick flat out that she knows it may ruin everything, but she can't live with the guilt - she's got to tell Bridget that they kissed! Katie rails that she can't believe she was so stupid to have pushed Bridget toward Nick in the first place. She is upset to think that now Bridget is committed and in love with him and is going to get hurt. Katie starts to cry and says, "I don't do this, I don't do these unplanned things!" Unseen, Bridget arrives at the front door and listens. Katie tells Nick she feels like such an idiot for doing something so unexpected. Nick embraces her. "It's okay." Suddenly, Bridget comes into the room and says, "Katie? Nick? My goodness. What's going on here?!" Katie and Bridget stare at one another across the room.
