Brooke confides in Donna that Caroline forced her out; yet she is confident that Caroline cannot win Ridge over in just two weeks. At the Forrester Mansion, Ridge tells Caroline that he will not destroy his brother's marriage. Just as Thorne confirms to Stephanie that he could not be happier than to call Caroline his wife, Caroline's play for Ridge takes a stunning turn when she bluntly announces to Ridge that she is going to divorce Thorne right after his wedding to Brooke. Worried by Ridge's reaction to his recent conversation with Caroline, Stephanie asks Brooke to move back in which Brooke declines. Ridge follows Caroline to the office to talk her out of divorcing Thorne. Caroline admits that she is grateful for Thorne's support after her rape, but the truth is that she never loved him like a wife should. Ridge and Caroline embrace.
