Sally and Stephanie come face to face as the first models hit the runway for the "Salute to Hollywood". Macy tries to convince Stephanie that she knew nothing about Sally's scam, but the Forrester matriarch does not believe her. Eric, Ridge, Thorne and Brooke worry that the unknown designer sharing their spotlight will ruin the big event. Meanwhile, Stephanie physically blocks the Spectra models from taking the stage. Questioned by AFI president Jean Firstenberg what causes the delay, Stephanie is finally forced to move aside. The audience reacts favoribly to the "Armando Collection". In the middle of frenetic applause, Eric grudgingly shakes newcomer Anthony's hand on stage as the haute couture showing closes. Sally is thrilled for her company to receive the validation that she has craved for years. Macy cannot convince her husband that she had no hands in this whatsoever. Thorne tells Macy to leave him alone because she betrayed him.
