A momentous misconception ensues at Spectra Fashions: just as Macy makes it abundantly clear to Jake that the only man that she wants is her husband, Thorne arrives unnoticed and witnesses a goodbye kiss between them. Thorne storms off and angrily shares with Ridge that it is happening yet again: Macy is betraying him with Jake. Meanwhile, Karen admits to Bill that she thinks that she has lost Thorne. Bill encourages his daughter not too up on him just yet. Macy shares with Darla her optimism that Thorne will chose her. Karen tells Thorne that she understands that he wants to be with Macy. Thorne surprises her by saying that he wants her instead. Karen is overjoyed while Thorne looks rather sorrowful.
