She claims that she’s fine. Thomas, now sporting a beard, drops by with flowers for her. He looks shaken up by what happened to her. Ridge leaves them alone to chat. Thomas tells his sister how much he loves her and was worried about her. Things seem to be good between them now and she thanks him for visiting. She asks how he’s doing. He admits that it’s been rough not seeing Douglad, but he knows that Hope and Liam are taking good care of him for now. He’s been in regular contact with Taylor, too. He thanks Ridge for all of his support as well. Ridge once again suggests to Steffy that she should take her pills, before he leaves. Thomas can tell that Steffy is in a lot more pain than she let on. Steffy tells him that the beard looks good. Thomas tells her that he’s been driving up and down the coast, staying here and there, but he stays close so he can visit Douglas. Steffy has another twinge of pain, so Thomas points out that she was in a serious accident. She should accept help and take medication. Later, Steffy is alone when she hears Kelly cry over the baby monitor. She takes some pain medication.  At Forrester, Donna and Brooke discuss Steffy’s accident. Donna wonders if this brought her and Ridge closer together, but Brooke says that it didn’t because Bill was there to admit that he hit Steffy with his car. Brooke really wants to get things back to normal with Ridge. Even though there is still distance between her and Ridge, she plans to keep trying with him. Ridge drops by, so they ask about Steffy. Ridge is just worried about her being in pain and not wanting to take her medication. Donna leaves them alone. Ridge tells Brooke that Thomas stopped by. Brooke lists all of the things that came between them, and she admits that she was partly responsible. He admits that, too. She says that she doesn’t want him to have any more drunken nights with Shauna, or anyone. As she says that, Ridge remembers some of his time kissing Shauna.

He says that he won’t ever let her out of his sight again. Katie drops by Sally’s place to confront her. Sally admits what she did and feels very sorry. She deserves whatever Katie says to her. She admits that she did it because she couldn’t stand to lose Wyatt again to Flo. Katie asks if it was all planned, but Sally informs her that when she ran into her at the hospital, that was all by accident. She really was worried about her health at that point because of the symptoms she was having. After seeing how Katie cared about her, she realized she could get Wyatt to care for her, too. Katie feels like an idiot after being used by Sally. She yells at Sally for what she did, although she’s relieved that she’s not dying. Katie lays out all of the things she did for her and how she was manipulated. She says sarcastically that she hopes Sally is proud of herself.

Recap written by Suzanne

Outside Sally’s room, Penny tells Flo that she’s not a bad person. Flo wonders if Penny is really as gullible as she pretends to be. However, Flo has some sympathy because she’s known people who can talk you into anything, even though it’s against your better judgment (like Reese). Flo goes in for a while to Sally’s room. Sally wants her to help talk Wyatt into forgiving her, but Flo says it’s his call. In Sally’s room, Sally begs Wyatt to forgive her. She says she’ll understand if he writes her off or puts her in jail. She keeps trying to explain why she did what she did, and how sorry she is. Wyatt says they won’t press charges, but he can’t be around her right now. He wants her to go off and find the talented, amazing woman that she used to be. He tells her goodbye in a very final way.

Brooke suggests to Ridge that he phone Taylor to let her know about Steffy’s accident. He agrees and adds that he’ll also let Thomas know. The doctor talks to Ridge about Steffy not wanting any more pain medication. Bill still feels very guilty. Liam tells him it’s not his fault. Steffy does, too, later on. Bill and Liam go to get coffee. Ridge and Liam chat with Steffy about Kelly, and also about how she needs to rest and get better. The doctor kicks everyone out so Steffy can rest. Dr. Finn asks Steffy how her pain is. She tries to be tough, saying it’s not that bad, but he can tell that she’s suffering. He suggests that she not try to be so tough. Later, he offers pain medication again, and she agrees, whimpering.

Eve wanted to know how Ben was feeling. She told him that a mind altering drug was being placed in his body. He wanted to know what she wanted. She reminded him that she was turning him into the necktie killer. She wanted to know when was the last time he took his meds. She had more drugs for him to break him down. She wanted him to choke the life out of Ciara the way he took the life out of Paige. Hope said that she and Shawn would talk to Eve and Ciara and Claire had to wait. Ciara and Claire objected, but Hope explained why they couldn’t go. Claire wanted to follow Hope and Shawn so they could find Ben too. Claire decided not to go after Ciara talked to her. Ciara thought she might be too late and Eve might have killed him. Claire assured her that Eve would have killed him at the church. Eve told him how she went to Paige’s grave and wondered how he could live. She thought he loved Ciara and needed love. She knew he had to live so he would know what real love was and found out what it felt like to lose her.

Belle was surprised that Allie had the baby and that Sami didn’t tell her. Sami explained that Allie and the baby were okay. She was sad that Allie didn’t want her to be there. Belle tried to make her feel better, but she said it was her own fault that Allie didn’t want her in her life. Will and Sonny checked on Allie’s baby. They thought they were lucky. Eric and Nicole arrived at the hospital. Eric told them that Nicole was Allie’s birthing coach and they wondered why she didn’t call them. Nicole admitted that Sami didn’t want her to do it. Ben said he wouldn’t kill Ciara. Eve told him what Vincent was going to do to him. She continued to tell him what was going to happen to him. Vincent explained to Ben what he planned on putting into him.

Sami continued to talk to Belle about Nicole causing her pain. Belle didn’t think it was true since she’s married to their brother. Sami said that Nicole was the reason why Allie was mad at her. Sami said she did something so Belle wanted to know what she did. Nicole told Will and Sonny that Sami didn’t want them called in case Allie bonded with the baby. Will slipped and said it wasn’t true. He had a flashback of his conversation with Sami. Sonny didn’t care what Sami wanted because Allie said they could have the baby. Nicole said there was something she had to tell them. Eve warned Ben he would feel sensations. She wanted to take him on a trip down memory lane. She said Vincent would control his reactions to what he saw.

A picture of Ciara popped up. Hope and Shawn arrived at Eve’s apartment and the door was open. Eric told Will and Sonny that Sami convinced Rafe not to adopt the baby. Belle couldn’t believe what Sami said to her. Belle wanted to know if Allie knew that Lucas and Will knew her plan. Belle didn’t think Allie would want to see her for a while. Ben saw more images of the wedding. Ben said he loved to see Ciara happy. Eve said that was going to change. Vincent charged him to brainwash him. Hope and Shawn told Claire and Ciara how Eve’s apartment was paid off and how it looked clean. Eve showed Ben pictures of Paige and Ciara.

Sami tried to explain why she went to Rafe. Belle thought she needed to give Allie some space. Sami wanted to go to Allie to talk to her. Nicole continued to tell Will and Sonny what happened. Eric wanted to check on Allie. Sonny was upset with Sami, but he was grateful Will wasn’t like her. Shawn thought he knew someone who could help find Chloe. Ben called out Ciara’s name. Eve brought in a mannequin that was dressed like Ciara. Sonny wanted to find Sami and tell her to stay out of her business. Sami showed up just as Sonny was finished talking about her. Chloe showed up to talk to Ciara, Hope, Shawn, and Claire. They needed her help with Eve. Eve put the necktie in Ben’s hands and told him to kill Ciara. He looked at Ciara’s picture on the monitor.
