While Ridge is in surgery, Brooke inquires with Stephanie why she resisted the temptation to have the presumed dead Taylor come face to face with him. Brooke is suspicious of Stephanie's motives and is eager to reassure her mother-in-law that it was a wise move. Brooke promises Stephanie to go through with the stock transfer if she arranges for Taylor's departure. In Casablanca, Omar informs Moustafa that he is confident to come back from his trip to America together with his beloved wife. Yasemin shares with the Prince that the children from the orphanage miss Princess Laila dearly. After her disastrous encounter with Stephanie, Taylor is ready to throw in the towel and depart for Morocco. She writes a farewell letter to her father and calls Omar to let him know that she will come home today; she also gives this information to Brooke who is extremely relieved. Dylan congratulates Sly on his coup to host a designer surfboard presentation and swim wear fashion show that is drawing in a huge crowd at Bikini Bar. Sly's euphoria is short-lived, though, when the models he had booked cancel at the last minute. A desperate Sly begs Dylan, Jessica, Connor and Darla for help.
