Stephanie comforts Eric who has hit a creative block and seems to be falling apart under the pressure of working for Brooke. Sheila daydreams of running Forrester Creations. In reality Sheila feels pestered by Mike, but grasps what she has to do next: she informs Connor that Brooke chose his foe Ridge as head designer for the men's line and encourages him to put a stop to it. Connor is naturally furious. His sour mood is soon taken care of by Karen, though, who stops by with a self-cooked meal and lends him her sympathetic ears. Connor realizes that he wishes that Brooke was more like Karen. Meanwhile, Taylor is not all pleased to learn that Ridge will be working closely with Brooke on the new line. Reluctantly, she gives him her blessing.
