Ridge and Marcus visit Owen, Stephanie confronts Donna, Brooke tells Ridge Donna’s theory, and Donna is attacked.
Donna tells Brooke she thinks Stephanie killed Eric, but Brooke doesn’t think so. Marcus comes in and overhears. He insists Owen did it, but Donna defends him. Brooke explains Donna’s theory, but Marcus doesn’t buy it and doesn’t think Stephanie would do that. Donna lists all of Stephanie’s evil deeds throughout the past few years, but Marcus still isn’t swayed. Brooke doesn’t buy it either, but Donna asks what if she just hit rock bottom and lost her senses? Brooke says it would have taken a lot of planning on Steph’s part and Donna points to Stephanie setting Brooke up with Andy and says that took weeks of manipulation. Marcus asks if Stephanie is that much of a beast and Brooke tries to downplay it, but Donna says Stephanie’s actions don’t deserve to be sugar coated and wonders what she is truly capable of. Marcus still thinks Owen is guilty, but Donna says the only crime Owen is guilty of is caring too much about her. Marcus abruptly tells his mother he has somewhere he has to be and leaves.
Donna and Brooke continue to discuss the possibility of Stephanie poisoning Eric. Donna thinks Steph has the most motive to bring her down, but Brooke doesn’t think she would go that far. Stephanie knocks on the door and enters. Brooke leaves to attend a conference call and Stephanie taunts Donna about Owen. Donna thinks Stephanie is trying to pin this on her because she is the one who did it. Donna lays out her theory and Stephanie thinks she’s gone off the deep end because, “guilt will do that to a person”. Donna wonders why Stephanie went after Eric to get back at her and Stephanie laughs at the suggestion. Donna says she is going to put round the clock guards on Eric and Stephanie won’t be allowed to visit him. Stephanie says she’s gone too far this time and she will not let Donna slander her especially when she’s probably the one who poisoned Eric. Stephanie fiercely tells Donna she will not let her get away with this and leaves.
Ridge visits Owen and asks what his father ever did to him. He then wonders if he wanted his fortune and his wife. Owen says he wanted everything that “you people had that I didn’t.” Owen tells Ridge that he is truly sorry for everything that’s happened. Ridge asks if that’s why he confessed, because he’s sorry. Owen says yes, but Ridge doesn’t buy it and thinks Donna was part of it. Owen defends Donna and they argue. Owen suggests if Ridge really loves his father and wants to honor him, he will show his father's wife respect and compassion. Ridge doesn’t say anything and just leaves.
Owen gets another visitor in the form of Marcus. Owen tells him that Donna is still in danger because whoever did this is still out there. Marcus is doubtful, but Owen passionately tells him to make sure Donna is safe until they find out who is after her.
Brooke and Ridge meet up and discuss Owen and Donna. Brooke says neither one of them poisoned Eric and Ridge asks who did it then. Brooke tells him that Donna thinks it was Stephanie. Ridge is outraged and Brooke says she doesn't think Steph did it, but she doesn’t think Donna did it either. Ridge says it was Owen because he confessed in front of everyone. Brooke says it doesn’t make sense because he only confessed after Donna was arrested. She also points out that Donna wouldn’t have kept the evidence in her drawer. Ridge thinks Owen set her up, but Brooke says maybe it’s someone with a grudge who they haven’t thought of yet.
Donna comes home and puts on some music and walks around the house, as someone watches from the patio. Donna pours herself a drink and the mystery person puts a key in the front door. Donna looks through her wedding album as the person sneaks around and turns out the lights. Donna gets scared and grabs something for protection, but then relaxes. As she goes to turn the lights back on, she is grabbed from behind!
