Anthony is stunned to see Connor in his office - instead of being on his honeymoon. Connor then explains that Karen lied to him about her pregnancy - and now he needs advice what to do next. Ridge is happy to see Brooke upon her return from Paris. She cannot believe that he is suddenly okay with Taylor's close bond to James. Ridge states that he trusts his wife completely and therefore considers all concerns far-fetched. Stephanie senses that something is troubling Taylor. She questions her daughter-in-law about her sashay to the mountains. James walks into the room and claims that he merely wanted to support Taylor as a friend - like she did in Scotland for him. With the crisis averted for the time being, Taylor and James discuss whether they can keep their secret for themselves. James pushes her not to jeopardize her happiness with Ridge while Taylor is uncertain if she can live on without telling him.
