Nick happened to show up as they were talking and thought that Brooke had learned the truth from Bridget. When Nick started to say something about spending the night with Bridget, she interrupted before Brooke could find out. Brooke then told her daughter that she couldn't blame her for feeling the way that she does, as Nick looked at the two of them in bewilderment. After Brooke and Nick left, Bridget held her daughter's belongings and lovingly put them away. Brooke later told Nick that she was sorry for what had happened between them, but the best thing to do was just to go on believing that their love would sustain them.

She informs them of Bridget's plans to move to Africa and asks them what's going on. Brooke admits that Bridget is still in love with Nick and she thinks getting away could be good for Bridget. Stephanie thinks it's a bunch of bull since Brooke is still in love with Ridge and Bridget is still in love with Nick. Brooke denies Stephanie's accusations. She tells Stephanie with Ridge there was always another woman, but with Nick there are no secrets and she knows he would never cheat on her. Stephanie doubts that Nick is so perfect and tells Brooke that she hopes Ridge will take her back when it falls through with Nick. After Stephanie leaves, Brooke reassures Nick that as long as they have love, understanding and honesty their marriage will last forever. Nick is eaten up with guilt.
