Aggie confides in her brother.

Aggie comes by the beach house to see Oliver, who consoles her over the loss of the baby. Oliver blames Bridget's making his big sister take those pills for the miscarriage, but Aggie reminds him that Bridget is grieving the loss of the baby, too. Recalling the video of Bridget and Owen having sex, Oliver remarks, "Everybody has their own way of handling it, I guess." Aggie wants to talk to Bridget so they can console each other, but Oliver advises her to steer clear of Mrs. Marone and lean on him instead. Aggie laments that she felt at home at Jackie M, like she was part of Nick's family. Oliver reminds her that he and Whip are her family. Aggie knows, but she doesn't even know if she has a job anymore. She knows full well that Bridget only kept her around to keep an eye on the baby, but the Jackie M crew became important to her, and now she fears she's nothing to them. Oliver tells her to stop painting herself as the villain and Bridget as the victim, but Aggie gripes that Nick's family will see things that way because they all think Bridget is Little Miss Perfect. Oliver asks how well she knows Bridget. Not as well as she thought, she replies, because she thought they were friends. She thought she could count on Nick and Bridget and they could count on her, but it's over now. "I've lost everything," she sobs. Oliver hugs her and reminds her that she still has him.

Stephanie tells Steffy about Bridget's baby.

At Insomnia, Steffy and Stephanie discuss the recent changes at Forrester. Steffy admits she still can't believe her plan worked. Stephanie congratulates her on wresting control of the company back and they toast to her accomplishment. Steffy thanks Stephanie for inspiring her and notes that Bill, Katie and even their lawyer Craig compared her to Stephanie based on what she did. She feels like this is a rebirth for Forrester, and the only thing that remains is to sweep the remaining Logans from the company. After getting rid of one Logan, Steffy is confident she can oust the others with little effort. Stephanie advises that this might be the wrong time to go after Brooke because she's Ridge's wife and she just lost her grandchild. [How does Stephanie know about the baby?] Steffy is stunned to learn about the baby - like she'd know, even if it was public knowledge, with her "destroy all Logans" agenda? - and feels sorry for Bridget and Aggie. Stephanie is sorry, too, as she feels that Bridget and Aggie both deserve a break. Steffy turns the subject back to the Logans and tells her grandma that they, along with Taylor, can slowly purge the company of Logans if they work together. Stephanie doesn't think it will be hard since Brooke will inevitably shoot herself in the foot with Ridge, probably by siding with her kids over Ridge. Steffy doesn't think that will work since she tried to get her dad to push Hope out and he wouldn't do it. Stephanie thinks Brooke will do something out of guilt over the way she raised her children, especially Bridget. Stephanie calls Bridget an angel, but Steffy asserts that no one is perfect, not even Bridget.

Jackie offers condolences while an uneasy Owen looks on.

At the Marone mansion, a guilt-ridden Bridget agonizes over the events leading up to and following the miscarriage, including having sex with Owen. Nick joins her and tells her that his mother and Owen are on their way over. Bridget doesn't want to see them now and notes that Brooke is on her way over. She wants to break the news to her mother in person. Nick is about to call Jackie when she and Owen arrive. Jackie extends her condolences and hugs Bridget, who exchanges guilty looks with Owen. Jackie offers her and Owen's help wherever it's needed. "You've done enough," Nick states, making Bridget and Owen nervous, but he then thanks his mother and Owen for their support. Owen again looks at Bridget, still feeling uneasy, and says that he's ready to help.

Bridget seeks comfort from Brooke.

When Brooke arrives, Bridget rushes into her mother's arms and sobs, "We lost the baby!" Stunned, Brooke tries to console her daughter, advising her to find strength in herself and in her marriage. Bridget blames herself for losing control and letting her emotions take over, but Nick thinks they have to move on and focus on the future. Brooke agrees with Nick, but Bridget isn't able to talk about this now and retreats upstairs to be alone.

Owen tells Bridget to move on.

Soon after, Bridget returns and finds Owen alone in the room. He tells her that Jackie took the others to the kitchen for some tea. Bridget informs Owen that she was about to tell Nick what happened when he stopped her and told her to forget about the mistakes they made in the past. "He just wants to start over," she states. Owen thinks that's a good idea; he truly believes that keeping their tryst a secret and moving on is the best thing for everyone. He knows it sounds stupid, but he just wanted to help, yet his actions just made things worse. Bridget doesn't blame him given the state she was in. She sees now that she was completely out of control, but that doesn't absolve her of responsibility for her actions. Her grief over hearing Nick tell her that they weren't meant to have a child was so intense that things just happened, almost like she was having an out-of-body experience. But now she's deliberately lying to her husband, and that bothers her. Owen fears that telling Nick will tear both their marriages apart.

Nick has some questions for Bridget.

The others return with some tea, but Nick asks Jackie if she and Owen would mind leaving so Bridget can have some time alone with him and with Brooke. After the Knights leave, Brooke sits with Bridget, holding her and telling her to lean on her family. Bridget laments that she is supposed to be the strong one, but Brooke and Nick both think it's a good idea to reach out to people for help. Bridget regrets walking out on Nick at the hospital, but he reminds her that she came back and blames himself for saying all the wrong things. Bridget tells him not to say he's sorry, but he thinks they have to forgive each other if they are to move on. "Can you do that? Can you love me that way?" he asks. Bridget flashes back to her romp with Owen and then tells Nick that she wants to do that if it's what he wants. Letting him take her in his arms, she tells him how much she loves him. Nick says that he loves her too and promises that will never change.

Oliver doesn't like being ribbed by Steffy.

After Stephanie leaves Insomnia, Steffy goes to get a refill and spots Oliver sitting at a table looking at his phone. She comes over and asks what he's watching that has him so interested. He puts the phone down and says it's nothing. Steffy wonders if he has sexy pics of his girlfriend and warns about his girl's daddy being rough on the boyfriends. Oliver is confused, since he thought she and Hope have the same dad. Steffy ribs him about Hope, telling him that she saw them kiss earlier. She then recalls that he's Aggie's brother and tells him she's sorry about the baby. Oliver laments that his sister lost everything because Bridget abandoned her. Steffy notes the bitterness in his voice about Bridget and assumes his thing about Hope doesn't extend to all of Brooke's daughters. She thinks that's probably a good thing given the history.

Steffy is shocked by the video on Oliver's phone.

When Steffy walks away, Oliver looks at the video on his phone again, using the projector he showed Hope the other day. As he watches Bridget and Owen having sex in the video, Steffy comes up behind him and exclaims, "Oh, my-- Bridget and Owen?"
