Eric is head over heels in love with Brooke. He takes her to Big Bear where they can enjoy some time together - and avoid the watchful eyes of the family. Back in L.A., Ridge suggests to Stephanie to go to the cabin to get some distance. Sally plays with Clarke's ego as she underlines that only Spectra Fashions will allow him to use his full talent as a designer. She reiterates her proposal and shows Clarke a plan for the office he would get if he marries her. In Encino, Beth returns from Paris earlier than announced and is surprised to only find Donna at the house. Meanwhile, Eric and Brooke make love for the first time.
