Taylor alerts Ridge that Thomas had not come home last night. While they talk, she admits to thinking that the majority of the problems have been caused by her. She is frightened because she believes that Thomas has all ready pulled away from his own family. Ridge had to remind her that he was having problems with Thomas before she came back home. They just feel that Thomas is too young to be married now. Ridge, all of a sudden had a brainstorm of an idea. He told Taylor to trust him, and he will fill her in on it later.

While Ridge is gone, Taylor receives a visit from a friend. Hector comes to see her to check on his alarm system and her. He tells her that he hopes things are better for her now, she doesn't deserve to be alone. She tells him that she will be going back to work and he is happy to hear that.

While Thomas tries to make up his mind, Gaby is unsure that he is doing the right thing. When they turn up at the Spectra office, they find that before they arrived there was much conversation going on about how to handle him.

She offers more money up front to entice Thomas even further, using the fact that he will be able to make his own decisions and be liable to no one. He and Gaby will be able to stay together.

Ridge walks in at the signing with his own proposition. Another showdown: Thomas against his father, with the winner being allowed the choice of what to do. If Thomas wins, he can stay at Spectra and sign the contract and remain married to Gaby or if he loses, he will go to college and the marriage will be annulled. To make it a fair competition, it will be a teen line, bringing the sales price down to those who would be able to buy it, and they will be able to determine the sales profits from that point. Thomas is egged on by Spectra and Gaby who think that he will be able to handle it, so he agrees. Later, Thomas has doubts but Gaby tells him that he can do anything. He begins to wonder.
