Owen takes a job with Jackie, Bridget tells Eric about her new job, Brooke and Ridge enjoy the steam room, and Rick and Steffy spend the day on the beach.
Brooke is thrilled Rick and Steffy are getting married and that Ridge won’t stand in their way. She thinks it's good news for both families and hugs her son, but Rick doesn’t look quite as excited.
Bridget shows Eric her sketches and tells him she is working at Jackie M as Madame X. Eric is dumbfounded and Bridget tries to explain how important it was to prove herself outside of the Forrester world. Eric understands that Bridget needed to do it on her own terms and suggests she come on at FC, the way it should be. Bridget tells him a lot is riding on her designs for Jackie M and she has to see this through. She thinks they will work together some day and Eric admires her guts and courage. It’s exactly the kind of thing he would expect from her and he embraces a teary Bridget.
Owen shows up to Jackie’s office after she requested him for another interview. She says there is always room for the right person at her company, if he’s still interested. Owen wonders what changed her mind, but Jackie tells him she was going to offer him a job as a designer, but she doesn’t think designing is really his forte. After looking at his resume again she realized he had other assets and she needs help with contracts for suppliers and retailers. In return, she will help raise his profile in the fashion world. She asks if he is intrigued and Owen says in more ways than one. Owen thinks they should seal their deal with a glass of bubbly and pulls out a bottle and glasses he brought with him just in case. Jackie laughs at his arrogance and notes he will be working with Bridget. Owen says with them all working together there is no way they can miss.
Brooke calls Ridge to meet her in the steam room. They meet up and share a passionate kiss. Brooke tells Ridge she’s happy he has accepted her son and Ridge tells her he lives for making her happy. Brooke thinks their families finally have a chance to heal because of everything he’s done and if that doesn’t deserve a special reward, what does? She takes off her towel and then his and they get down and dirty.
In the halls of FC, Marcus tries to grabs a dress out of Steffy’s hand thinking it’s something Eric needs for alterations. Steffy tells him it’s her wedding gown and Marcus wonders if it’s what she really wants. Rick enters and tells him of course it’s what she wants and says if Ridge can come around then so can he. Rick tells Steffy he has a romantic surprise and thinks ‘Marco’ can hold down the fort while they're gone. Rick and Steffy get on the elevator, leaving Marcus to stew.
Brooke and Ridge come back to the office from their steam and Brooke sees Steffy’s headdress for her wedding gown. Brooke is surprised to hear Ridge gave his daughter a wedding dress and Ridge explains he’s been working on it for some time. Brooke thinks it sounds like he’s rushing them to the altar, but Ridge is just trying to be supportive. Even though he’s dying inside, he wants to let Steffy know he’s not trying to run her life. Ridge also tells Brooke that he hopes Steffy comes to her senses before the wedding takes place. Brooke tells him Rick thought Ridge was finally seeing him differently, but Ridge recounts how Rick was talking about Steffy when he was negotiating a deal regarding Thomas. Brooke knows Rick has flaws, but she doesn’t see him as the devil, the way Ridge chooses to believe. Ridge hopes Steffy will see Rick for who he really is: a blackmailing, deceitful son of a…. Ridge lost a daughter because of Rick, Thomas is in need of mental care because of Rick and if he loses Steffy because of Rick as well, he won't be able to handle it.
Steffy and Rick enjoy the day at the Santa Monica Pier inline skating, riding roller coasters, playing video games and sitting on the dock looking at the ocean. Rick and Steffy then walk under the pier and kiss. Rick pulls out a ring box and opens it revealing a diamond ring. He puts it on her finger and Steffy jumps in his arms.
Bridget comes to Jackie’s office looking to celebrate, but finds Owen there instead. He says Jackie was called away and asks why she’s in such a good mood. Bridget explains she told Eric about her being Madame X and how he’s supportive of her new career path. She hugs Owen and then they kiss. They break it off and Owen apologizes saying he understands it’s too soon for her to get involved and he won’t cross the line again…unless she begs him to.
