At Brooke's house, Ridge and Brooke discuss their troubles with Rick, who is determined to drive them apart. Brooke tells him that Rick's position as president has satisfied Rick's need to best Ridge at something. Meanwhile, Rick's attempt to seduce Ridge's daughter, Steffy, ends with Steffy slapping his face and stalking out of the room. But Rick declares to himself that he likes a challenge.
