Karen notices that Connor is preoccupied during their little BBQ. Connor does not want to talk about Brooke and instead questions Karen about her childhood and family. He is amazed by her story. Feigning concern, Sheila tells Brooke that the man she trusts completely is cheating on her. Brooke is not convinced by the Polaroid-photograph of Karen and Connor embracing, so Sheila offers to prove that they are spending the evening together right now. Reluctantly, Brooke drives out to Connor's house with Sheila. There, Brooke sees Connor dancing with Karen and is devastated. Meanwhile, Taylor encourages Ridge to open up to the possibility that Connor could be good for Forrester Creations and Brooke eventually. Not sold on Taylor's words, Ridge retorts that he wished he knew a way to expose Connor for the rat that he is.
