Rick vows to stop Ridge, Brooke blames Taylor, and Donna is suspicious of Pam.
Rick tells Brooke he needs to know that Ridge is out of her life. Brooke doesn’t think that will change the situation, but Rick says he was pushed off a building could have been killed and he’ll be damned if he lets someone like that marry his mother. Brooke tells her son that she and Ridge are engaged and therefore committed to each other. Rick insists he has been in Ridge’s shadow for years and says if Brooke chooses Ridge, then he will cut her out of his life. Upset, Brooke gently kisses her son and leaves the room.
Donna wants Pam behind bars, but Eric and Stephanie insist her actions were due to her brain trauma. Donna implores Eric to side with her because Pam almost killed both of them. Stephanie wants to talk to Eric alone and Donna begs Eric to not let Stephanie sweep this under the rug. Donna vows she will never forget what Pam did.
Stephanie tells Eric that Ann is coming to town and wants to take Pam to a facility in Chicago. She says if Eric and Donna don’t testify against Pam, then she probably won’t be prosecuted. She doesn’t want Pam to have to pay for something for the rest of her life that was beyond her control.
Taylor comes to see Rick, but he doesn’t want her there. Taylor tells him she still cares, but Rick retorts that if she wants to pity someone it should be Ridge because he has to live with the fact that he is responsible for his paralysis. Rick doesn’t understand what she or his mother see in Ridge because he is a loser. Rick understands that he was just a crutch for Taylor so she could build herself up so she could go after the man she really loves. Rick spits out that she walked out on the best thing that ever happened to her and wonders what it was all for. Rick tells her to get out and Taylor obliges, but not before telling him she will always care for him.
Steffy comes to see Rick and he says he doesn’t know why he ever got involved with Taylor in the first place because there is only one man in her life, “The great and powerful, Ridge Forrester.” Steffy wonders if Taylor is still really in love with Ridge and Rick confirms it. Rick can’t live with Ridge’s arrogance any longer and he vows to stop him.
Brooke comes home to Ridge and tells him that Rick wants her to leave him. Ridge thinks they will get through this, but Brooke isn’t so sure. Ridge insists they will get their whole family together and that nothing will stop their wedding.
Donna can't believe Stephanie got to Eric and Stephanie can’t believe that Donna wants to get back at Pam when she has a brain tumor. Eric insists Pam can’t be held responsible for her actions and tells Donna he won’t testify against her. Donna knows his heart is in the right place, but she can’t let this go.
Ann shows up at the hospital and talks with Stephanie as Donna observes. Ann can’t believe Pam is suffering from an old brain injury. Eric comes upon them and learns that the biopsy came back negative – Pam doesn’t have cancer. Ann talks to Donna and tells her to listen up – she will not let her daughter be put in jail or an institution. She wants to take her to Northwestern for treatment, but Donna won’t allow Pam to be treated in a country club with padded walls. Eric and Stephanie ask her to have compassion. Eric says she should have compassion just like she asked them to have for her brother. Donna says what Pam did was horrendous, but Eric reminds her that what happened with Storm is just like Pam and they can’t allow her to be prosecuted. Donna reluctantly agrees to let Ann take her to Chicago. Ann and Stephanie are grateful and Eric hugs Donna.
Stephanie, Ann and Eric tell Pam she will come home to Chicago with Ann. Donna watches from the doorway as Pam learns Eric and Donna won’t testify against her. Donna is disgusted and walks away. The rest of them follow to let Pam get some rest.
They all converge in the hallway and Eric gets a phone call and runs off. Pam and Ann walk away as well and Donna reenters Pam’s room. Pam apologizes to Donna, but Donna doesn’t believe her. Pam doesn’t blame her for thinking she’s evil, but asks if she can forgive her. Pam says if she doesn’t forgive her she couldn’t bear it. Donna’s ears perk up and she skeptically asks, “Bear it?”
Brooke comes to see Taylor and yells at her for visiting Rick. Taylor takes responsibility for her role in what happened, but Brooke says none of it would have happened if Taylor had ended things when Brooke first wanted her to. Brooke blames her for inciting an argument between Rick and Ridge and it’s her fault Rick is lying in a hospital bed. Taylor tries to defend herself, but Brooke says, “My son is paralyzed because of you and your sick obsession with Ridge.” She says she will never forgive Taylor for what she’s done to her son and declares war on her.
