Donna is shocked by her "new look."

Outside Eric's office, Pam cackles with glee as she hears Donna cry out in horror. Inside the office, Raphael apologizes to a shocked Donna, who sees in the mirror that her hair is now streaked with green! When Eric returns and sees the "new look," he tries to console her by telling her that they could use that for the next collection, but Donna sobs that she looks like an Oompa Loompa and asks him to stop trying to make her feel better. She then removes the molds from her teeth and sees that her teeth have turned brown! Outside, Pam calls Stephanie and tells her not to give up up, since Eric's about to see how superficial his "little hot tamale" really is.

Pam plays dumb when questioned by Donna.

Inside, Donna weeps about how her attempts to look beautiful for Eric have turned her into the Bride of Frankenstein and realizes that someone has to be sabotaging her - and she knows exactly who it is. She calls Pam in to the office. Pam comes in and feigns surprise about Donna's appearance. Donna accuses Pam of being behind this, but Pam pleads innocence and tells Donna, "You're barking up the wrong cupcake." Donna counters that she knows the truth, even if Pam has sugar-coated her crazy self to Eric. "You did this, Pam!" Donna accuses.

Brooke questions Katie about Nick and Bridget.

Brooke and Katie are in Ridge's office talking about Donna's problems when Brooke changes the subject to Bridget. Brooke guesses that Katie knows what's going on between Bridget and Nick given the amount of time Katie spends at the Marone mansion lately. A reluctant Katie finally comes out and tells Brooke that Nick loves Bridget, but maybe not in the same way Bridget loves him. Given Katie's assessment, Brooke wonders how Nick could sleep with Bridget. Katie admits that it's not the best situation, but Nick is at least being honest with Bridget. Brooke however thinks it's wrong for Nick to find his own way at Bridget's expense and worries that Bridget is going to be hurt, but Katie accuses Brooke of only saying that because she can't stand seeing Nick with a woman other than herself. Brooke scoffs at that notion and insists that this is all about her daughter. Katie doesn't think they can ask any more of Nick than for him to be honest with Bridget. She knows how long Bridget has wanted Nick and thinks they should just let nature takes its course. "I'm sure she's making the most of the situation," Katie surmises of her niece.

Storm tells Brooke what's missing in his life.

After Katie leaves, Storm drops by with an update on some legal work he's doing for their new fragrance named Belief. Brooke thanks her big brother for his hard work on their behalf. Storm thanks her for her vote of confidence and asks if she's OK. When Brooke admits that her life is complicated of late, Storm laments his part in that. Brooke admits that her brother shooting her fiance's mother didn't really help. After Storm agrees that Ridge probably still wants him behind bars, Brooke suggests that Storm reconsider moving to Europe, but Storm tells her that he needs his sisters and isn't going anywhere. "There's no sacrifice I wouldn't make for my sisters," he tells her. Storm's response makes Brooke think about what Bridget is going through with Nick, since she feels that Bridget is getting in over her head. Storm reminds Brooke that Bridget will do what she thinks she has to and encourages Brooke to just step back and be ready to pick up the pieces if things fall apart. "Like you've always been there for us?" Brooke asks. Storm reminds Brooke that she and their sisters came to his rescue this time, and he can't tell her how lucky that makes him feel. He feels like the only thing missing from his life is romance. "I'm sure the perfect woman will be coming your way," Brooke predicts, reminding Storm just how much she and their sisters love him for always being there for them. "Don't ever forget how much we love you," she tells him.

Nick and Bridget keep "living in the moment."

Meanwhile, Nick and Bridget are blissfully rolling around between the sheets in Nick's bed. Bridget tells Nick that she knows they agreed to take things slow to keep from being hurt, but she thinks she's getting a bit ahead of the game. Nick asks if they're OK with how things are. Bridget says she's more than OK and hopes he feels the same. Nick just doesn't want to get ahead of themselves, but Bridget reminds him of their promise to just live each moment to the fullest. Before Nick can answer, Bridget gets paged. Bridget doesn't want to ruin their dinner plans by leaving, but when she sees that the page is from the hospital, she fears she has to go. Nick reminds her that they said they would live for each moment, and at this moment, she has to go to the hospital. He promises that they'll have other nights together for romantic dinners. Bridget thanks him and gets out of bed to get dressed.

Katie joins Nick for dinner.

Soon after, Katie arrives to help Nick out again. She apologizes for being detained at Forrester with everything going on with Donna and asks where Bridget is. After Nick tells her that Bridget was called to the hospital, Katie thinks that's too bad, since she knew Nick and Bridget were looking forward to a romantic dinner together tonight. With his plans with Bridget quashed, Nick asks Katie to join him for dinner. Katie agrees and sits down. She looks at the elaborate spread Nick prepared and compliments him on going all out for Bridget, since she expected him to order a bucket of chicken and some beer. Nick laughs that Katie must have spoken to her sister. Katie admits that she has and asks how Bridget is. Nick admits that he doesn't want to just dive right in given his complicated history with Bridget and Brooke. Katie thinks he mights be right and reminds him that there are plenty of women he can date who aren't Logans. "Brooke and Bridget aren't the only Logan women," Nick reminds Katie, who thinks she should check on Jack. When Nick tells her that Jack is fine, Katie asks what's going on in his head. "Completely and total unacceptable thoughts of you," Nick laughs.

Phoebe tells Rick she's ready to prove her love for him.

At the Bel Air mansion, Rick is surprised to find Phoebe waiting for him. Katie apologizes if her letter came on too strong, especially since she knows Rick is probably shocked that she even wrote the letter after ending things with him. But she still loves him and is now ready to prove that to him. Just then, Taylor comes in and asks what's going on. Phoebe is surprised to see her mom home since she thought she had the house to herself for a special evening with Rick. Just the, a timer sounds, alerting Phoebe that dinner is almost ready. As Phoebe runs to the kitchen to check, Taylor asks Rick what he's doing. Rick explains that he's not sure himself and shows Taylor the letter he received at Forrester. He tells Taylor that he came over thinking she wrote the letter and changed her mind about them. Taylor thinks this proves why it would never work between them and tells him that she even wrote a letter to him herself explaining why it would never work. Now that Phoebe has written this letter, Taylor has no intention of hurting her daughter, who is more age-appropriate for Rick anyway. She tells Rick that the best thing is fro him to open his heart to Phoebe.

Rick hears Phoebe out.

Rick starts to protest, but Phoebe then returns and senses something going on. She tells her mom and Rick that she knows what's going on from the looks on her face: "You're worried I've come on to Rick this way and don't like it," Phoebe suggests. Taylor says that's not it. She tells Phoebe that she was just caught off guard when she walked in here, and she thinks Rick felt the same way, so she's going to get out of here to let Rick and Phoebe enjoy their evening together. Hearing thunder outside, she gets her umbrella and walks to the door. Meanwhile, Phoebe looks at Rick and opens up to him. He was the first guy she kissed, but she was confused, and she was also still a little young. But now she's older and hopefully wiser. She's dated other guys, but she hasn't been able to forget Rick. That's why she hopes Rick still wants what they used to share. "Tell me you still want that," she pleads.
