Bridget cries to Dante that she made a huge mistake.

As Nick walks down the beach, Bridget calls after him. She starts to follow him, but Dante holds her back and asks what she's doing. She tells him that she made a mistake. She has to stop Nick and tell him that she's sorry. Dante won't let her go and tells her to calm down. She says she can't; she made a mistake. Dante holds Bridget tight as she pleads with him to let her go.

Soon after, they return to the hotel. Dante is still trying to calm her down, but she keeps insisting that she has to find Nick. What she did was wrong, she cries. Dante says that she did what she had to. Bridget tells him that he didn't see Nick; she recalls Nick asking her "why?" on the beach, and she sobs at thought of how selfish she's been. Dante tells her that she needs to be sure, for her sake and the baby's, especially since Nick admitted to her that he's still in love with her mother. Nick said it was over, she reminds him. Nick said a lot of things, Dante points out; that's why he thinks she has to wait to see what Nick does next. But she crushed Nick! Bridget sobs. Nick is hurt, Dante tells her. He thinks that Nick will come back to her if he really loves her, but he'll turn to Brooke if that's who he really loves. Because she pushed them there, Bridget notes. No, Dante insists, because they can't help themselves. Bridget thinks about how much this made sense last night. She knew Nick would be shocked when she told him she aborted their child. But it was a lie! she cries. And now that she's lied to Nick about something so precious, she laments, she may have lost him forever.

Brooke is in her living room, staring at the gun Stephanie gave her. When Catherine comes in with Hope and RJ, Brooke slips the gun into the gift bag Stephanie brought it in and greets them. She's glad to hear that they had fun in the park. Brooke then sends Hope to the kitchen, where Marta is waiting to make cookies for Hope to take to Ridge's tomorrow. Once Hope's gone, Brooke asks Catherine to bag up some of RJ's old clothes. Is she donating them? Catherine asks. Actually, Brooke says, she's handing them down. Since Catherine's always been so close to Bridget (Since when? Did they bond while Bridget was living at Ridge's after Taylor "died"?), Brooke decides that it's OK to tell Catherine that Bridget is pregnant with Nick's child.

An anguished Nick wrecks things on his boat.

Nick boards The Shady Marlin and starts kicking things around on deck. He then goes below, flashing back to his encounter with Bridget on the beach. The sound of Bridget saying, "I don't have what you want anymore" echoes in his head. Nick cries out, "NO!" and starts throwing things around the cabin. He sees a photo of him and Bridget; he then grabs an oar and starts smashing the glassware in the cabin. He then falls down in front of the sofa, sobbing, until he hears his cell phone ringing. Seeing from the display that it's Brooke, he answers it, but he remains silent. Brooke asks if he's there; he says he is. She asks if he talked to Bridget. He struggles to find the words to answer and gets out that he doesn't want to talk right now. Brooke senses a strange tone to his voice and begs him to tell her what happened. When he stays silent, she says that he's scaring her and asks again what happened. He says that he has to get out of there. Brooke pleads with him to come over to her place; the phone goes dead. Brooke starts to look really worried.

Back at the hotel, Bridget calls Catherine. She gives the nanny the address and asks her to come over. When Bridget tells him that Catherine's on her way, Dante asks if they can trust her. "More than I can trust myself right now," Bridget says. Dante asks if she's having second thoughts; she tells him that she wants this baby, and she wants to raise it with Nick. Not if Nick's still in love with her mother, Dante reminds her.

Soon after, a confused Catherine arrives and asks what's going on. Bridget reminds Catherine that they've known each other a long time; that's why she knows she can count on Catherine's help. She explains that she lied to Nick that she aborted their child; it was the only way to find out if Nick loves Bridget or her mother, Dante adds. Catherine doubts that there's anything going on between Nick and Brooke. Bridget tells her that they admitted their feelings for each other, but they said they wouldn't act on them. Bridget needs to be sure, Dante says; that's why she chose to test Nick this way. Catherine thinks this is risky, given how Nick feels about kids. Bridget knows that, but she thinks this is the only way to be sure how Nick feels. Nick and Brooke have to believe they're free, Dante adds; he asks Catherine to be their eyes and ears in the house. Bridget knows it will be hard, given how close Catherine is to her mom, but it's the only way. Catherine still can't believe Brooke would do this after what happened with Deacon, but she reluctantly agrees to help. Still, she can't help but think that Nick's feelings for Brooke, if he has any, won't compare to those he has for Bridget once he finds out about the baby.

Brooke fears that she pushed her daughter to an abortion.

Brooke is pacing in her living room when she hears a car door. She looks to the front door, but when it doesn't open, she goes outside and finds Nick just sitting there, looking upset. She sits down next to him and asks what's wrong. Did something happen to Bridget? she wonders. Not to Bridget, he says. Did something happen to him and Bridget? Brooke asks. Sort of, Nick says. Brooke wonders if he should have given Bridget time to cool down before talking to her. It's not about them anymore, Nick says. Then it's about the baby? Brooke asks. Yeah, Nick says. Brooke tells him that Bridget can't keep him from their child forever, but Nick thinks she can after what she did. Brooke asks what Bridget did; Nick tearfully tells her that Bridget aborted their child! Brooke can't believe Bridget would do that; was it because she saw the two of them here together? Nick is silent, so Brooke grabs his arm: she says that they pushed Bridget to this. Her past mistakes drove her little girl to do this, she cries.

Back at the hotel, Bridget thinks about how devastated Brooke will be when she hears about the "abortion." Dante assures her that she did the right thing, but she fears that the lie will spin out of control and ruin people's lives. She thinks about how devastated Nick was about the "abortion," and she's sure Brooke will blame herself once she hears. Dante reminds her that Brooke isn't innocent in this. Bridget says that she isn't innocent, either, since she's deceiving the man she loves and her own mother, deliberately causing them pain. Dante says he doesn't want to tell her what to do: that's why he wants her to pick up the phone right now and call Nick and her mother if she can't go through with this. But if she tells them the truth, he warns, she'll never know if Nick chose her or the baby. He advises her to wait a few days and let Catherine find out what's going on. And if nothing's going on? she asks. Dante reminds her that her mother and Nick admitted having feelings for each other; he tells Bridget that this is her chance to find out if they will act on those feelings.
