He wants them to build a figure and asks if she wants it too. She doesn’t know about this. “Are you saying this is over?” She tells him she’s spent years becoming who she is. She can’t walk away from Eric and the life they built together. She needs to go home to her husband. “Wait,” Carter says. She tells him she can’t. She goes and he looks defeated.

At work, Brooke bashes Quinn to Donna. When Ridge wanders in, she wonders if it means Eric doesn’t really love Quinn. He says it’s because of his medical condition but maybe, “He just doesn’t trust his wife.” Brooke wonders what will get Quinn out of Eric’s system. Ridge doubts she’ll let him go. Donna thinks she’s getting way too much out of this. The women agree she could never be the Forrester matriarch and blame her for destroying Eric’s dignity by “sleeping” with Carter. Donna goes.
In Katie’s office, Bill tells Katie that he can tell her with certainty that he’ll be a better man. “I’ll be everything you need me to be.” He wants one more chance. She’s been burned too many times. “I’m sorry Bill. I think it’s too little too late.” Bill shakes his head. He asks what she wants. She thinks by now he should know what she wants. He says, “I’m an idiot. I’m a selfish idiot.” She says this isn’t healthy, especially for Will. If they haven’t figured it out by now, maybe they never will. She wants something different. She wants someone who wants companionship and a connection as much as she does. She doesn’t think that’s him. “Yes, it is. I want that for myself and I want that for you.” He thinks he’s the only man who can make her happy. He tells her, “You touch my soul, and you touch mine.” He’ll fight for her. He takes off, leaving her in tears.
In Thomas’ apartment, Zende’s sorry that his condo deal fell through. Thomas thanks Paris for insisting he stay here but he maintains that this is her place now.

She goes and Zende tells Thomas that although he isn’t the jealous type, he cares a lot about Paris. “You’re my cousin, Thomas. I trust you.” He goes and Thomas wanders around shirtless.
Zende lets Paris into his place, which is set up for romance. He looks forward to exploring her new neighborhood with her and when she asks if he’s really okay with her living with Thomas, he assures he is. He’d like to pause talk of Thomas because tonight is about her. “The amazing beautiful girl who made me see the one thing I’ve always thought I was missing. You.” They make out passionately and it’s apparent that he wants to make love to her.
