Brooke can hardly concentrate on work because she constantly thinks about Taylor, who is with Ridge and the children. Suddenly, Stephanie shows up at the office and asks her to sign the stock transfer agreement. Due to Taylor's unexpected return from the grave, Brooke stalls and promises to sign the contract at a later date. Stephanie feels deceived by this sudden and explained change of heart and angrily leaves. In the dungeon, Sheila follows through with her announcement: she has prepared a lavish dinner for her and James. There are some reminders that it is a captive situation, though: James is still shackled and Sheila refuses to provide him with silver-wear. Ridge - whose eyesight is still blurry - believes that he recognizes Taylor as the Moroccan Princess Laila. Taylor laughingly denies that she has royal blood in her. Later, Ridge tells Eric Junior and Bridget a fairy-tale story about a mysterious princess in a distant land while Taylor listens in. Brooke returns home anxious for her rival to announce that she is leaving again. Taylor declares that she is not ready to make a decision yet and will come back tomorrow to spend more time with Ridge.
