Sheila is alarmed when Eric explains that in order to save the family business they might have to cut back on their personal wealth and may even have to sell their house. Connor informs Brooke that - after reading the company records - their position is better than to be expected and it is time that they set demands for the Forresters to reach a settlement and not the other way round. Ridge tells an excited Stephanie that Taylor is having a pregnancy test today. Stephanie then reveals that she was willing to team up with Sheila to stop Brooke but ultimately decided against it. They worry about Sheila's agenda as Brooke is probably one her best friends, yet she seems hell bent on saving her newfound richness after marrying Eric. Eric is furious when he hears Ridge and Stephanie express their distrust of Sheila. However, Eric agrees to ask Sheila to remove herself from his business affairs. Meanwhile, Sheila brings Eric Jr. home to Brooke after his sleepover. Sheila tells a surprised Brooke that she supports her in her battle against the Forresters. She also reiterates her offer to work as her assistant.
