Eric and Stephanie sign their divorce papers just in time for Donna and Eric to marry the following day. Eric shows signs of remorse because he has seen a different and gentler side of Stephanie recently. Noticing that Eric seems to be having doubts about marrying Donna, Ridge uses it to his advantage to try to talk his father out of getting married. Stephanie gives Donna a manual of how to be “Mrs. Eric Forrester.” Donna is suspicious of Stephanie’s kindness to her knowing that Stephanie always has something up her sleeve. Later, Ridge calls Stephanie to tell her about Eric having cold feet. Stephanie tells Ridge that if the wedding does happen tomorrow, she plans on being there. Stephanie thinks that if Eric sees her and all of their children there, he will change his mind about marrying Donna.
