Storm tries to convince Ashley that he is not dangerous and promises that he would never be violent with her because he is falling in love with her. Katie explains to Nick how Storm had shot Stephanie because of the love her brother has for his family; Storm is the kind of person who protects the people he cares about, not hurt them. Katie assures Nick that Ashley would be lucky to have a man like Storm in her life. Stephanie calls a family meeting where she tells her children and Eric that she plans to step down from her position at Forrester Creations. Eric is extremely touched when Stephanie pronounces that she wants him to buy her half of the house and hold his and Donna’s wedding there.
