Eric bans Stephanie from Forrester Creations, but Thorne gets her past security. Stephanie explains to Thorne that she lied to Eric about Ridge’s paternity. Because of his situation with Darla (not verbalized), Thorne understands Stephanie’s reasoning and agrees to stand by her. Later, Thorne also sympathizes with his father. Meanwhile, Stephanie goes to the beach house to find Eric but meets Jackie instead. Jackie introduces herself to Stephanie and explains the living arrangements between her and Eric.
