Brooke and Caroline continue to watch over a comatose Ridge. Thorne then informs them that Stephanie wants to speak to all of them. Meanwhile, Kristen tells Eric about Clarke stepping in at Forrester Creations. Eric is furious. Lt. Burke questions Dr. Marley about his patient and learns that it is still unsure whether Ridge will wake up and what kind of brain damage he might have suffered. Burke is surprised to see that Ridge was hit by a very old bullet. Eric and Stephanie break it to the family that it is possible that Ridge will never be the same again. Suddenly, Dr. Marley gives the family some good news: Ridge is out of the coma, even though he remains unresponsive. Stephanie rushes to her son's bedside. Lt. Burke calls Forrester Creations to request an appointment to speak to Thorne.
