Bridget tries to get Nick to talk about her lie.

On the Shady Marlin, Nick is on deck, tying knots and smoking a cigar. He flashes back to Brooke telling him that he was there for her, Hope and RJ when they needed him."We need you. I need you," she said to him. He's brought back to reality by Bridget's arrival; she comments that last night's storm was rough. Yeah, he replies. She sits next to him and apologizes again for her lie. She knows it was... Unforgivable? he asks. She knows she has no right to ask for forgiveness, but their future and their child's depend on it. She's sorry she ever doubted Nick and promises to never lose faith in him again. She then gets up and walks over to the rail; he follows and reminds her that she shouldn't be getting so stressed out while she's pregnant. But if he won't forgive her, she notes... He points out that he didn't say he wouldn't. He recalls her saying she hadn't eaten and offers to fix her something, but she says she just came for her lab coat. She goes below to get it. Jackie arrives and tells Nick that she heard from Eric about him and Brooke. He asks her to be quiet; she guesses that he doesn't want to wake Brooke and apologizes. It's just that she's so happy, although the news of Bridget's abortion was so tragic. She didn't have the abortion, Nick tells her. What? Jackie asks.

Jackie tells Nick not to ignore his feelings.

Bridget comes on deck and greets Jackie; she's not sure how much Jackie knows, but... Nick promises to bring his mom up to speed, so Bridget says goodbye and leaves. Jackie then asks what's going on, since Eric said that Bridget had an abortion. She lied, Nick says; she saw him with Brooke and assumed, just like everyone warned, that he was still in love with Brooke. Because of people like her and Stephanie, Nick tells his mom, Bridget snapped and tested his love by lying about an abortion. If Bridget was insecure, Jackie suggests, it's because of the feelings he and Brooke have always had for each other, feelings that he and Brooke have finally admitted to. It starts to get dark, so they go below. Nick tells his mother that nothing would have happened between him and Brooke had they known Bridget was still pregnant. But it did happen, Jackie argues, because he and Brooke found each other. But they have to forget that happened, he tells her, so he can have a life with Bridget and their child: that's the way Brooke wants it. Jackie tells him that he can't just pretend his feelings for Brooke don't exist. He can, he says, and he will, because he loves Bridget and they're having a child together. Jackie however thinks he's too honest to hide his feelings forever; she knows he thinks this child will change everything, but if he really cares about Bridget, he has to be honest with her and tell her that he's in love with her mother.

Thomas asks Thorne for his opinion.

At Spectra, everything's buzzing backstage before the show. Darla helps Clarke get a smudge off a red dress, while Thomas asks Thorne for an honest opinion about a blue number. Thorne thinks that Thomas, the designer, should say what he thinks. Thomas just wants it to be perfect, for his parents. Thorne assures him that Ridge and Taylor will be proud of him today. Sally then gives a pep talk to the troops, reminding them that this is their chance to bite into the youth market. Thomas peeks out and is amazed at how many people are there. Sally says that he has nothing to worry about, because he's created some gangbuster designs. She asks Clarke if he agrees; yeah, yeah, he says as he fusses over the red dress.

The twins arrive to support their brother.

Gaby comes backstage, all excited; she tells Thomas that she agrees with Sally and gives him a quick kiss. Thomas takes her to see the blue dress, just as Taylor and the twins arrive. Thomas greets them with hugs as they tell him how great everything looks. He asks if Ridge came with them. Taylor says he didn't, but she's sure he's on his way; she knows Ridge wouldn't miss his son's big debut. Thomas tells her that he knows how tense things have been lately; he hopes that maybe his dad will come home with them after the show for a family celebration. They'll see, Taylor replies; right now, she just wants him to him to have fun and enjoy the results of all his hard work. She and the twins wish him good luck and leave. Gaby comes over; he hopes that today might show his dad what he's missing so he comes home to them. Gaby hopes so. Thomas tells her that he just wants this show to work a miracle. He pulls her to the side and tells her that no matter what happens, he has a special celebration for the two of them planned after the show. She can't wait. They kiss, and Ridge steps backstage just in time to see it.

Eric and Massimo are ready to cheer their grandson on.

Gaby wishes Thomas luck and leaves. Ridge walks over and asks his son if he's nervous. Thomas is thrilled to see him and hugs his dad. Of course he's here to see the next generation Forrester blast out of the gate, Ridge says. Thomas admits that he's nervous; that shows humility, Ridge says, and it's a trait he thinks his son should hold on to. And as far as the designs go, he thinks Thomas has nothing to be nervous about; seeing those designs, he's sure that Thomas is his son. Thomas smiles and tells him that Taylor saved a seat for him up front. He asks Ridge if he might come home after the show to celebrate with the family. Ridge says that they'll talk after the show. Right now, he wants Thomas to know that he *IS* a designer, and he wants his son to enjoy that. Ridge then goes into the showroom; the twins sit down near Taylor, who nervously looks around. She's about to dial her cell phone when Ridge comes over and asks, "may I?" pointing to the empty seat beside Taylor. She says she was hoping he would. He sits down and takes her hand, and they smile at each other. The twins watch; they hope Thomas was right that this will get their parents back together. Meanwhile, in back of the room, Eric and Massimo talk and look over a press release; when a woman tells them that they're about to start, the proud grandfathers take their seats.

Queen Sally greets the crowd.

The crowd applauds as Sally is carried onto the stage in a palanquin by 4 shirtless men; she's wearing a tiara and a sash and carrying a sceptre. She thanks the boys for their imPECcable work and then greets the crowd. She hopes they're here for some inspiration or razzle dazzle, since that's what they'll get here today from their hot new designer in the House of Spectra, Thomas Forrester! She then has the boys carry her palanquin off stage so the show can begin.
