Later, Eric visits Beth and reassures her that he still finds her desirable. He is kissing her when Clarke accidentally walks in and is shocked to see Eric with the other woman. - #224
E224#224It's the evening of the dinner event at the Forresters. Brooke sneakily scores an invite from Ridge who also flirts flagrantly with Caroline until Thorne shows up. Kristen is extremely nervous because of her father's possible reaction to Clarke's employer, but Stephanie offers support. Kristen thanks her mother. At the hospital, Eric is intent to skip the family dinner but Beth feels conflicted. She begs Eric to attend and be present when his daughter introduces her beau to the family. At the Forrester Mansion everyone arrives all dressed up: Brooke apologizes to Caroline for not telling her sooner that she and Ridge are growing closer. Clarke arrives and Kristen presents him to her parents and siblings. Stephanie and Clarke act as if they do not know each other. Eric has a stunned look on his face as he immediately recognizes Clarke from the hospital earlier. When Storm tells Beth that Eric is trying to have Stephen declared dead, she is convinced Eric really loves her. - #225
E225#225Tensions run high at the Forrester Mansion: Upon being introduced to Eric, Clarke bluntly reveals that he works for Spectra Fashion. A stunned Eric runs off, presumably because he is in disgust to host someone who is working for a company which was copied his designs for years. While Kirsten is proud of him for standing up to his work as a designer, Ridge is suspicious of Clarke's motive to unveil his fishy employer so soon. Later, Clarke explains to Eric that he will not tell anyone about their encounter in the hospital earlier. Brooke confesses to Caroline that she purposely kept Ridge's letter from her last year. Caroline is furious and accuses Brooke of purposely pushing her to marry Thorne so that she could have Ridge. Meanwhile, Rocco and Donna discuss the complex situation with Katie. Rocco is unwilling to wait any longer to be with Donna and therefore wants to carefully put an end to Katie's idealization of him. - #226
E226#226Stephanie realizes that she has to act fast if she wants to save her marriage. Conway tells Stephanie that he needs a picture of Mr. Logan to have any shot of finding him soon, so Stephanie visits the Logans. To her delight, simple-hearted Katie opens the door and willingly shows her a family photo album. Unnoticed by Katie, Stephanie steals a photograph of Beth's missing husband. Storm and Beth discuss starting divorce proceedings. When Grandma Logan walks into the room and hears that Beth wants to declare Stephen dead, she is furious despite Storm's protests. Kristen recounts to Margo about dinner last night and that Clarke and her father got along much better than to be expected. Meanwhile, Eric and Clarke come to an understanding about what Clarke saw at the hospital. - #227
E227#227Margo urges Ridge to talk to his father one more time about his notion to start a fast fashion line. Eric's position has not changed though: he wants to keep Forrester Creations in Haute Couture and strongly opposes to the idea to enter the mass merchandising market. In the hospital, Dr. Bailey removes Beth's bandages which proves to be a tough step for her. Katie tells Brooke about Mrs. Forrester's visit to their house. Brooke wonders why Stephanie came to visit, but is too excited about Beth coming home the next day to care. Meanwhile, Grandma Logan confronts Eric. She begs the designer no to interfere with Beth's marriage as her son had been fighting an inferiority complex ever since he found out that Beth and Eric were involved in college. Stephanie delivers the much sought photograph to Conway Weston's office and is glad to hear that he is close to finding Stephen Logan. - #228
E228#228Stephanie is devastated to learn that Conway Weston's investigation hits a major snag: Stephen Logan's social security number has not been used for 8 years. Conway tells Stephanie to prepare for the inevitable that he might be dead. Brooke and Storm discuss Grandma Logan's feelings, but still think Beth has a right to marry Eric. Ridge continues to work on his mass marketing collection and receives valuable input from Brooke, Margo and Rocco. He damps their enthusiasm, though, and hints that these designs might never see the light of day at Forrester Creations. - #229
E229#229Stephanie confides in Clarke about the devastating news she received on the investigation. Caroline proudly shows Thorne her new office at Spencer Publications and breaks it to her husband that will work under her maiden name. Bill wants one of his finest art directors, Valerie Cooper, to work on his daughter's new magazine. Valerie is not interested at first, but changes her mind when she hears Caroline's ideas. Kristen presents Clarke with a real-life model of his sketch and tells her thrilled boyfriend that his design will be in the fall line-up. Later, Ridge questions Clarke about his background. He warns Clarke not to hurt Kristen. - #230
E230#230Donna tells a devastated Rocco she cannot see him anymore. She wants to make more of her live than waitressing and therefore goes to see Tommy Bayland for a proper modeling job. She even considers modeling lingerie. Meanwhile, Storm is not sure whether he likes the way Brooke is behaving around Ridge. Thorne tells Caroline he is proud of her after her first day at work. Caroline is still preoccupied by Brooke's confession that she intercepted Ridge's letter. Ridge invites Brooke over to the Forrester Mansion for a swim. Caroline watches from the house as Ridge and Brooke kiss by the pool. - #231
E231#231Caroline works with Valerie on the new fashion magazine. Brooke who is anxious to find out if Caroline has told Ridge about the letter arrives for a visit. A bitter Caroline retorts that she has not, yet, and accuses Brooke of betraying their friendship. Brooke turns the tables and openly wonders if Caroline is still in love with Ridge. Ridge notices his mother's sullen mood and offers to bring the family together to talk to Eric about the divorce, but Stephanie refuses. Eric picks Beth up at the hospital to bring her home. Stephanie decides to confront Eric about Beth's missing husband. When Conway receives a new lead that Stephen Logan might be in Salt Lake City he tries to call Stephanie, but only reaches house maid Maria. - #232
E232#232Stephanie fantasizes in different ways about what will happen when she confronts Eric about his affair with Beth and her missing husband. When Eric is out of the office, Conway manages to reach Stephanie in time, though. She is thrilled to hear that the detective has found a lead that might reunite the Logan family very soon. Brooke begs Thorne to convince Caroline not to tell Ridge the truth about the letter. Thorne explains that he will try to stay out of this situation as best as possible to protect his own marriage, but promises that he will try if Caroline asks him about it. Ridge visits Caroline in her new office and immediately notices that she seems preoccupied. Caroline confesses to Ridge hat she is no longer friends with Brooke without disclosing any details. - #233
E233#233Ridge notices that Stephanie's mood seems to have changed for the better. This soon changes, though: Eric informs Stephanie that he will not wait any longer and that she will get the divorce papers later that day. Meanwhile, Grandma Logan is served with papers to declare her son Stephen legally dead and is furious with Storm for doing it. When Storm comes home, he tries to explain to Helen why his court filings are the only right thing to do because it is merely accepting the inevitable: that his father is long dead. In Utah, Conway locates the hotel in which the missing Mr. Logan is presumably staying in. - #234
E234#234Conway Weston poses as a building instructor in Salt Lake City to get into Stephen Logan's hotel room. Unfortunately, the guest living there turns out to be not the man in question. He explains that he found Mr. Logan's wallet in Tucson, Arizona, but never met him in person. Storm is worried about Donna's modeling job, but she reassures him that the agency is a legitimate business. She heads over to Tommy's and informs him that she is now willing to do the lingerie shoot. Tommy is thrilled and immediately goes to work and takes sample shots of Donna. At Spencer Publications, Ridge proposes several ideas to name her magazine to Caroline. She is impressed that Ridge cares so much about her new project.

Rocco makes a cautious attempt to correct Katie's extremely positive image of him. At Forrester Creations, Brooke is amazed by the luxury of Ridge's work and lifestyle. Margo witnesses an intimate moment between them and later warns Brooke not to get too attached to Ridge. Over at Spencer Publications, Thorne tells Caroline that it was his idea to take the letter, but she does not buy it. Thorne tries to make Caroline understand that freeing herself of Ridge was the best thing that ever happened to her. Bill walks in on their argument, yet they claim that everything is fine. - #236
E236#236Conway gives Stephanie an update on his hunt for Stephen Logan. He tells Stephanie that he will have to go to Tucson to track down Mr. Logan, but the good news is that he seems to be still alive. Eric comes clean to Ridge about his intentions to divorce Stephanie and practically admits there is another woman. He asks Ridge to convince Stephanie to let him tell the rest of the family. Thorne informs Brooke that he covered for her, but that Caroline is still angry at them both about the intercepted letter. When he comes home, a furious Caroline confronts Thorne whether and why he actually encouraged Brooke to hide Ridge's letter. Thorne claims that he was merely trying to protect Caroline as she was not ready to face Ridge back then. - #237
E237#237Caroline cannot decide whether or not to tell Ridge the truth. She remains vague while speaking to Bill what is troubling her, yet she cannot stop rehashing in her mind how Brooke manipulated her to marry Thorne last year. Meanwhile, Thorne reassures Brooke that Caroline will eventually see that moving on from Ridge was the right decision. Brooke then pumps Thorne for information on Margo's feelings for Ridge, but he thinks that Margo is interested in another man besides his brother. After learning from Stephanie that she has indeed been served divorce papers, Ridge breaks it to Margo that his parents are separating. Knowing that Margo has had feelings for Eric for years, Ridge comforts her when he slowly breaks it to Margo that Eric is already involved with another woman. Margo is in tears. - #238

Unfortunately the local police have no records on him and advise to check the local morgue. Stephanie is touched when Clarke pays her a visit and also reassures her that he is very much into her daughter. Later, Kristen models one of his designs for Clarke, but Ridge is furious that she would show it to an outsider, especially someone who works for the rivaling knock-off-artists at Spectra Fashions. - #239
E239#239Kristen asks Stephanie to help her convince Ridge and Eric to trust Clarke. Conway is relieved when the commissioner at the morgue in Tucson has no records on Stephen Logan. At the Ocean Club, Eric meets up with Beth who is wearing her prosthesis for the first time. Eric reassures Beth that he loves her regardless of her missing breast. On break at Griffey's, Donna takes a look at Tommy's photographs and thinks of what could be. Rocco arrives and spots Donna's lingerie shots which he finds extremely sexy. Rocco is stunned to learn that Donna is actually considering posing for nudes next because he thinks Tommy cannot be trusted. - #240
E240#240Bill pressures Thorne to buy a house to get distance between Caroline and Ridge in the everyday life. Caroline and Valerie work on the art direction of her magazine when Ridge stops by and offers further ideas for a catchy title. Thorne sees Ridge and Caroline together and wonders if Bill's fears are not as unfounded as he wants them to be. Conway informs Stephanie that he is still looking for a definite clue on Stephen Logan's whereabouts. Later, Stephanie begs Eric to be silent about the divorce one more week.
