Phoebe has a gift for Constantine.

Phoebe drops by Constantine's loft, where the singer/producer shows her the new website for his record label, BoldFace Records. [You can see it too by going to boldfacerecords.com, which points to a special Constantine themed section of CBS.Com's B&B web site.] Phoebe thinks the site is great and tells Constantine that she has a gift for him. She hands him a sample bottle of the new "Phoebe" fragrance from Forrester Originals and tells him to give it to his girlfriend - assuming he has one, that is. "I'm working on it." Constantine replies, smiling. Phoebe wants details, but when Constantine stays mum, she agrees not to pry. She thanks him for his support when she was caught up in her dad's legal woes and tells him that she and Rick are back together. Constantine agrees that she's been through rough times lately, but he thinks it's about time that they get her into the studio to lay down some tracks, like they intended to do a while ago. Phoebe eagerly goes into the studio and sings a song with a refrain that repeats the words "Never Ending." Constantine likes what he hears, but Phoebe feels weird singing without Rick beside her. Constantine assures her that she's going fine, but Phoebe thinks she'd feel better with Rick there, so Constantine suggests that she call Rick.

Rick is stunned by Bridget's revelation.

At Bridget's beach house, Rick desperately tries to rouse an unconscious Bridget. When her finally gets Bridget awake, she feels a little dizzy. Leading her over to the couch, Rick asks how she wound up out cold on the floor. Confused, Bridget tries to tell Rick that she's fine, but Rick doesn't believe her and asks if this is connected to the mistake at the hospital that she mentioned earlier. Bridget starts to ramble about the donor eggs, the lab techs, Nick and Taylor and the pair of petri dishes labeled "Marone" in the fertility lab. Rick doesn't get it and asks his sister what she's trying to say. Bridget finally blurts out that the eggs that were fertilized with Nick's sperm might not have come from to donor. Rick is still confused, so she shocks him by telling him that the eggs implanted in Taylor might have come from their mom! Stunned, Rick asks how that could have ever happened. Before Bridget can answer, Rick gets a call from Phoebe on his cell phone asking him to come over to Boldface records to hear her record. Rick abrubtly tells Phoebe that he can't talk now and hangs up.

Constantine sings to a sleeping Phoebe.

Seeing Phoebe glumly hang up her phone, Constantine asks what Rick's excuse was this time. Phoebe says that he didn't have one. Constantine wonders what Rick is into that's more important than being there for his girlfriend. Phoebe assures him that Rick is always there when she needs him. Except when Rick's trying to put her dad in jail, Constantine retorts, or when she really needs Rick's support. He apologizes for that harsh comment, but he admits that he doesn't understand how Rick can be so blind to what's going on in his girlfriend's life. Phoebe insists that Rick does know what she's going through and asserts that Rick is a kind guy who would do anything for her. Constantine hopes she's right, because he thinks she deserves nothing less. Phoebe starts to yawn. Constantine guesses that she's been on such an emotional roller coaster with everything going on with her dad, Shane and Rick, and he bets that she hasn't gotten a lot of sleep lately. Phoebe admits that he's right, so he offer to let her lie down on his couch and crash for a while. A grateful Phoebe accepts the offer and lies down on the sofa, and she quickly falls asleep. Watching her peacefully slumber, Constantine takes one of his guitars and starts to sing a song called "Girl Like You" - a song with the refrain, "All my life I've been waiting for a girl like you."

Nick has an offer for Brooke.

At the Marone mansion, Brooke pulls away from her hug with Nick and tells him that she should be going. Nick asks her to wait, as he has a business proposition for her. He asks if she'd like to revive Brooke's Bedroom line for Forrester Creations. Brooke is shocked. Nick explains that he needs some kind of positive buzz to recover for the hit his business took while he was in jail, and he can't think of a better way to do that than announcing that Brooke Loggan is reinventing her signature lingerie line for Forrester Creations. Brooke asks if he spoke to his mother about this; when Nick says he didn't, Brooke tells him that Jackie asked her to come back to Forrester Creations while he was in jail. Nick thinks that was smart of his mother and asks Brooke if she accepted that offer. Brooke says she didn't. Nick guesses that she did that to show that she could respect his marriage to Taylor. Brooke admits that he's right, but she asks him not to let that get around, lest someone might believe that she could think of someone besides herself and ruin her reputation of being totally self-absorbed. Nick gives her his word that he'll stay silent and assures her that he wouldn't ask if he thought Taylor had a problem with it. "Have a problem with what?" Taylor asks as she comes downstairs.

Taylor tells Nick that she and Brooke are getting along.

Nick tells Taylor about his offer to Brooke. Brooke offers to forget about it if Taylor objects, although she and Nick both think Brooke's Bedroom can help get Forrester Creations back on solid ground after Nick's trial. Taylor states that she has faith in her husband and in his business sense, so if he thinks reviving the Bedroom line is a good idea, then she supports him. In fact, she wants to know how soon Brooke can start. Brooke points out that she still has to decide if she wants to do it, so Nick says he'll draw up a proposal and send it over. Brooke thanks him and turns to leave; on her way out, she tells Taylor to enjoy this time. She knows that morning sickness is no fun, but she also is sure that Taylor will soon get past that and enjoy the blessings the new baby will bring to their lives. Brooke then leaves. Alone with her husband, Taylor scolds Nick for not consulting with her before making an offer to Brooke. "We're supposed to be a team," she reminds him. Nick says that they ARE a team, and he frankly admits that he's surprised at how upset his wife is over this. Laughing, Taylor says that she's kidding. Nick is surprised, so Taylor tells him about her visit with Brooke earlier. While she knows she and Brooke will never be best friends, she concedes that Brooke has been nice to her lately, and she admits that she was impressed by Brooke's promise to respect their marriage. She tells Nick how Brooke swore never to break up an innocent child's family, and she asserts that she believed Brooke. Nick is glad, for their baby's sake. Taylor agrees, and she jokes that the baby does, too.

Bridget can't tell Taylor about the eggs over the phone.

At the beach house, Bridget reminds Rick how their mom recently underwent fertility testing to see if she could give Nick a child when Taylor couldn't. Rick recalls those tests, so Bridget explains how those tests led to their mother's eggs being mislabeled as "Marone" and sent to the fertility lab at the same time the donor eggs were to be fertilized. She then tells him that the lab tech was pretty sure that he gave her their mom's eggs to be fertilized by Nick's sperm, which means that Taylor could be pregnant with their mother's child! Bridget frantically reaches for the phone to call Taylor; Rick tries to grab the phone away, but Bridget quickly dials up Taylor, insisting that Taylor deserves to know the truth. When Taylor picks up, she assumes that Bridget is calling to confirm her glucose test tomorrow and says that she's ready. Bridget says there's something else she needs to say, but Nick mouths to her "No." Considering her brother's warning, Bridget tells Taylor that they can talk about this more tomorrow when Taylor comes in. After she hands up, Bridget sobs to Rick, "How am I ever going to tell Nick and Taylor that their baby is also our mother's?"
