Felicia leaves saying she is late for work as Ridge tells Stephanie and Eric they are standing by and letting Thorne get his way.
Jackie gets a little lightheaded and Deacon gives her the drugged orange juice. Deacon said Massimo doesn't know that Jackie is there as Massimo watches and says to himself "get your hands off of her."

Deacon tells Jackie to repeat that she needs him there and Jackie does. Deacon leans over and kisses Jackie as Massimo says to himself that Deacon is the devil.
Thorne is having a meeting with his "Dream Team" when Ridge shows up. He is again making accusations that Thorne is doing this because of his feelings towards Ridge. He is as usual, cocky to a point. However, this time Thorne is in charge. He tells Ridge that with a leap of faith, they will succeed. Thorne says that while they could find no one else to give them a chance, to shine, he will. They will be able to prove themselves to everyone, and to keep in mind that this is no longer a rag tag group, so he better watch out. Ridge calls them a support group for underachievers, the creative genius behind Sharpe Designs. Thorne says that every word out of his mouth makes us even more determined. So, is you want to stick around and put down the competition, like you always do, go ahead, but he would be safer to go back to work and prepare for the worst, because, their coming on and their coming on strong. Ridge walks out the door. Darla walks up to her husband and embraces him. She says that Ridge will never be able to bully you again. Everyone there is proud of Thorne.

While there, Stephanie discovers Deacon has been made VP of a new company of Massimo's and also helping out with Massimo while Nick is attending to Marone Industries. She sits at Massimo's side while Deacon watches from across the room. Massimo is seething inside and is crying out for help from Stephanie. She tells him that she will be there for him and then asks Deacon what Massimo's prognosis is. He responds that they don't know. Stephanie whispers to Massimo that she loves him and he has to keep trying to get better. Massimo, unable to speak, attempts to scream out before Stephanie leaves.
