Rick makes peace with Ridge and Thomas, Owen and Whip shake on their new arrangement and Whip discovers something from Jackie’s past.
Ridge and Brooke summon Thorne, Felicia, Thomas, Steffy and Rick to Ridge’s office so they can christen a new life for all of them and for Forrester Creations. They pour champagne for everyone and Ridge says they need everyone’s help to build on their success from the fashion challenge. Brooke asks Felicia and Throne to come back to the company and promises their issues with Donna will be addressed and they will get the respect they deserve. Felicia and Thorne miss being there and accept. Ridge wants to put all the bitterness behind them and get back to being a family again. Ridge points at Rick and says they are all Forresters every single one of them. Rick is stunned and Ridge explains how much pain he was in when Phoebe died. He needed to blame someone, but he doesn't want to be that man anymore and with the help of Brooke and his family he’s been able to see his daughter’s death for what it was: an accident. He tells Rick they are bound by their love for Brooke and it can now bring them back together. He loves Brooke enough to make peace with him and he thinks Rick does too. Rick agrees and they shake and hug on it.
Owen and Whip shake on their agreement for Whip to stay on at Jackie M. Whip is appreciative and says he won’t let them down. Owen knows he is an asset to the company and Whip is impressed Owen can get past his ego and do what’s best for Jackie M. Owen takes responsibility for not telling Jackie about his twin brother and promises no more secrets.
Jackie and Owen talk alone about how important communication is between them. Owen tells his wife from now on he will never forget who she is: his fantasy, his wife and the love of his life.
Whip surfs the web and finds an old news story of Stephanie outing Jackie’s past at a fashion show.
Steffy leaves and Rick apologizes to everyone for being such a fool for such a long time. He wishes he could take everything he’s done back, but since he can’t, he will do things differently from now on. He starts by honoring the man who makes his mother so happy. He thanks Ridge and toasts to the happy couple. Everyone raises their glasses to toast except Thomas. Rick points his glass in Thomas’ direction and he eventually picks up a glass.
Whip shows a stunned Jackie a printout of what he saw online. Jackie demands he show her where he found it and he pulls it up for her. Jackie thought it was all behind her and explains her past to him. Jackie frets that if Whip could find it, Owen could too. She panics that Owen won’t be able to handle it and Whip thinks maybe he can flood the web with info on their cruisewear line in hopes of burying it. Jackie says she has to tell Owen and hopes he can understand and forgive her again.
Ridge asks Thomas if he’s okay with everything and he fist bumps Rick to show that he is. Ridge says he had to almost lose everything to appreciate what he has. If this family is to function together effectively, they have to put their differences aside. Brooke says thanks to him they have. Ridge and Brooke tell the room they all have to work together and they will succeed because they are back on track.
Owen runs into Steffy at the coffee shop who is getting Ridge and RJ’s favorite coffeecake as a way of saying congratulations. He tells her he and Jackie have reunited and thanks her for talking with him because it helped him remember how great Jackie is. He says he loves Jackie and Steffy states that’s all that matters.
