Storm tells Brooke about his disastrous lunch date. Brooke is stunned to hear that Kristen considers him a liar, but Storm thinks that he has an ace to right this wrong: Clarke's infidelity as evidenced by the lipstick stain recently. Later, Storm pressures Clarke to tell Kristen the truth. Clarke refuses to budge and taunts Storm that he would never hurt Kristen - and that is exactly what the story of him being unfaithful would do to his wife. An appalled Storm punches Clarke in the face, just as Kristen returns home and furiously orders Storm to leave. Citing her being impartial to Clarke - unlike him or Kristen -, Ridge asks Margo to critique Clarke's work. Rocco informs Donna that he got nowhere in his quest to uncover the real publisher of "Temptation". Donna is not willing to give up on finding Nick's boss, though.
