While waiting for Ridge who is in surgery, Brooke and Stephanie discuss whether they are justified in keeping from him that Taylor is alive. Jessica's arrival puts an end to this conversation. After the surgical operation, everyone holds their breath when Dr. Madigan and eye specialist Dr. Creo remove the bandages: Fortunately, Ridge's eyesight is back to normal and he is allowed to leave the hospital that same day. In Bel Air, Donna, Katie and the kids have prepared a welcome home party which is also attended by Eric, Stephanie, Jessica and Dylan. Ridge is overjoyed to see all of them. Taylor drives by Connor's to say goodbye because she has been unable to reach James in both L.A. and Scotland. Taylor informs Connor that she is about to return to Morocco. After she leaves, Connor calls Brooke and lets her know about Taylor's departure. James is feverishly pondering his options to escape Sheila's captivity. Suddenly, Mike appears in Holmby Hills and is naturally stunned to find James in the living room instead of the dungeon. Revealing that he slept with Sheila, James slyly plays with Mike's jealousy to sow discord between him and his captor.
