Pam questions Stephanie, Justin comes to terms with the truth, Owen and Steffy talk, and Marcus catches Donna and Justin in an embrace.
Stephanie goes online and has a hard time reading about the symptoms and effects of a stroke. She says she doesn’t have a headache so it couldn’t have been a stroke. She touches her right hand and Pam comes in wondering what to do with the extra champagne from the party. Stephanie closes her laptop and makes Pam repeat what she’s doing in the office. She’s abrupt with her sister and yells at her for being concerned. Pam thinks she is working too hard and wants to make sure she will be around for a long time. Stephanie promises she will be. Pam sees the document Whip needs and Stephanie gets upset at Pam’s insistence that she sign it right now. Pam asks where she was last night, but Stephanie won’t get into it and orders her back to work. When Stephanie turns her back, Pam opens the laptop and says, “Oh my God. A stroke?” Stephanie tries to deny it, but Pam points out her recent behavior and says their mother had the same symptoms, but she got better. She asks when Ridge’s birthday is and Stephanie stalls saying Pam is insulting her and just trying to pick a fight. Stephanie calls Pam delusional and recites her past. She reminds her she saves her every time and even got her a job and doesn’t need to hear her accusations. Pam persists and urges her not to ignore the symptoms. Stephanie’s had enough and asks her to leave. Pam needs her to sign papers first, but Stephanie gets frustrated when she can’t do it and yells out, “Okay!” Pam embraces her.
Justin is happy to learn he has a son, but wonders why Donna didn’t tell him. Donna didn’t want to ruin his life, but he tells her he loved her. Donna loved him too, but they were in high school and he had so many opportunities in front of him. She apologizes for not telling him and asks him not to hate her. Justin could never hate her and understands why she did what she did. He wishes she didn’t have to go through it alone though and thinks Marcus is a wonderful young man. He wants to know him and be a father to Marcus, but Donna tells him Marcus doesn’t want to know his biological father. Justin is crushed, but Donna tells him Marcus is happy and Eric wants to adopt him. She says it’s the first time Marcus will have stability in his life and it’s a dream come true for him. Justin finds it ironic that he finally found out he has a son, only to learn he’s gone again. In any case, Justin is happy to know he has a son, thanks Donna and kisses her. Donna says she will make an introduction, but she can’t promise him anything.
Marcus walks in the office and finds Donna and Justin hugging. He looks confused as a realization sets in and asks, “Is this my father?”
Steffy sits at a table at Il Giardino and thinks about Stephanie. Owen walks by and joins her. He asks what’s on her mind and she says it’s hard to know what the right thing to do is sometimes. Owen is familiar with that and says he’s working on his marriage and trying to get things back to where they were. He’s trying not to let Jackie’s past bother him and what they have now is incredible. He thanks her for helping him and wants to return the favor. She tells him she’s worried about her grandmother. Owen thinks she’s doing great, but Steffy wonders if Stephanie is using her job at Jackie M to escape facing losing her husband and company. Owen praises Steffy for being sensitive and perceptive and for not always putting herself first. Steffy just hopes she can help Stephanie because she’s not invincible.
