A fight ensued, as Taylor tried to break free from Morgan. Taylor pleaded with Morgan to let her go so that she could reunite with her daughter but Morgan sternly replied that Steffy was not her daughter any longer. Morgan threw Taylor against the wall a couple of times and she knocked her head and passed out. Morgan then tied Taylor up and left her in the fall out shelter, returning to take care of Steffy. She tried without success to get Steffy to eat her lunch but Steffy continued to ask for her mommy and wouldn't eat. Then the little girl threw her plate on the floor. Shortly thereafter, the doorbell rang. A frustrated Morgan looked out the window and found Dr. Tim Reid. She opened the door and tried to remain calm. Tim noticed that she appeared upset and offered to help her. Morgan claimed that she had a plumbing problem in the basement that had her frazzled. Tim pushed by her and offered to take a look, claiming that he could fix it. Morgan frantically told Tim that she had taken care of it already and needed him to leave so that she could take care of her daughter who wouldn't eat. Tim offered to help Morgan with 'Stacey' but Morgan insisted on a rain check. She then persuaded Tim to leave and affectionately assured him that she would call him later. After the doctor left, Morgan panicked over what do to next and feared that she was losing control of her life.
Stephanie and Brooke met with Dr. Nunez. He asked both women what they expected to accomplish from their therapy sessions. Brooke replied that she was hoping that she and Stephanie could let go of the anger from the past and become friends. Stephanie said that the only reason she came to the session at all was because her husband convinced her to attend. After witnessing the anger and hostility that Stephanie had towards Brooke, the psychiatrist thought it best that they not discuss their differences, but rather they try to focus on their similarities and the good qualities that each of them possessed. Stephanie said she didn't think that was possible considering all the hateful things Brooke has done to her and her family over the years. She cited that Brooke stole her husband and her company and then went on to seduce and marry both of her sons. Dr. Nunez suggested that the two women take a trip to Big Bear and spend some quality time alone together to bond. Brooke was in favor of it and a reluctant Stephanie finally agreed. The two women arrived at the cabin later that evening and started off on the wrong foot with Stephanie making snide remarks to Brooke and Brooke getting defensive. Stephanie thought they should forget the entire idea until Brooke told her that they were going to find a way to make this work even if she had to compromise and give Stephanie her way for the evening.
Ridge ran into Sally at the Insomnia, which was once owned by Macy until she died tragically. Sally sat down with Ridge and expressed her sympathy and understanding over the loss of his daughter. Sally offered Ridge some words of comfort and support in his loss. Ridge wished that Taylor hadn't left him and the kids. Sally expressed to Ridge her opinion that although losing a child is incredibly painful for a father, it is 100 times more painful for a mother, considering the bond that a mother and child share. She asked Ridge to be there for his wife and not to give up hope.
Taylor tried to escape from the fall out shelter in Morgan's basement to no avail. She worried about Morgan being alone with her daughter and how she would ever break free of Morgan so that she would be with her child once again. Upstairs, Taylor's cell phone began to ring. It was Ridge calling Taylor. Morgan answered it and said "hello." Ridge assumed it was Taylor and pleaded with her to come home, professing how much he and the kids loved and needed her. Morgan hung up the phone without saying a word. She commented to herself that Ridge didn't need Taylor any longer because she was going to be there for him from now on. On the other end of the phone line, a distraught Ridge believed that his wife hung up on him without even acknowledging his pleas of love.
