At Spectra Fashions, Saul and Darla inform a stunned Macy that Anthony is designing a marvelous wedding gown as a peace offering for her. Meanwhile, Anthony continues to act all innocent, but Ivana is convinced that he is writing the threatening letters to Macy and setting the stage for her to take the fall for it.

There she runs into Thorne, who is visiting his brother to share news about his upcoming wedding as well as Macy's hate mail situation. Meanwhile, Stephanie voices her concern to Brooke that taking care of two young children, a blind husband and a company are too much for one person. She encourages her to hand the reigns of Forrester Creations back to Eric. Brooke does not want to rush anything, though. James is still being held captive in the dungeon below Sheila's and Eric's Holmby Hills mansion.

In Holmby Bills, James is still being held captive and seriously dehydrated after several days in shackles without anything to eat or drink. Mike begins to get second thoughts and urges Sheila to give the man some water.

The police then present Thorne with evidence why he is their prime suspect: his finger prints are all over the murder weapon. Eric and Stephanie are shaken over Thorne's arrest. To lighten up the mood, Brooke hands Stephanie a draft for the transfer of stock which will give back Forrester Creations into the hands of the family.

Brooke reminds her nemesis that she was gone for 10 months and that everyone in L.A. had to move on.

Eric and Stephanie push Thorne's lawyer Connor to open up about his strategy to free their son from prison. Dylan is surprised to run into Anthony at Macy's apartment. Dylan is even more confused that Anthony seems so calm and that the grieving fiancé is dealing with Ivana's death better than he as a mere close friend of the deceased. During the arraignment, Judge Colton demands a presentation of character witnesses to facilitate his decision whether to grant back his freedom to Thorne. Connor immediately calls Macy to the witness stand. In the following questioning by the prosecutor, Macy recounts how Thorne suspected the murder victim to be the author of the hate mail threatening her life - and suddenly on the night of the murder remarked that Ivana would not be her maid of honor after all. - #2019E17
#2019Unaware of the little tidbit that his presumed dead wife is back in town, Ridge notices that Brooke is really nervous. He assumes that handling the house and the kids is too much for her these days. He suggests hiring a housekeeper and suggests the woman who looked after him in the hospital: Taylor. Brooke is naturally opposed to this idea. Ridge supposes that she is jealous of the helper. Meanwhile, Taylor confides her conflicting emotions into Jack whether she should reveal herself as alive to everyone in Los Angeles. The bail hearing takes a disastrous turn: in light of Macy's testimony the evidence against Thorne is that overbearing that the district attorney requests the judge to deny any bail. Connor makes a desperate attempt to present Thorne's true character and put Macy's words into perspective. However, Judge Colton comes to the conclusion that Thorne is a danger to society and should not be released from jail prior to his trial. Everyone is shocked. Stephanie and Eric accuse Connor of following a wrong strategy whereas Sally, Darla and Saul comfort Macy who realizes that she has to call off the wedding yet again.
