The big day has finally come, the fashion show aboard the Queen Mary is about to begin. Sally - hoping to score points with the Forrester Matriarch - promises Stephanie a great event. Just as Stephanie greets her fellow Children's hospital board members, an uninvited guest arrives on the former cruise ship: Lt. Burke. Stephanie asks him to leave, but he refuses. When Clarke checks in on the Spectra models preparing for the runway, he has to hide as Ridge peeks in. Ridge introduces himself to Macy and she is impressed. With Margo serving as hostess, the models hit the stage with both Forrester and Spectra receiving rave applause for their holiday and cruise wear designs, including from Entertainment Tonight's Jeanne Wolfe. After the first part of the show, Eric and Sally proudly take their bows while Stephanie questions Clarke if he has met the mysterious Beau Rivage. Kristen runs into Mick which upsets Clarke. Meanwhile, Sally is thrilled to see Deveney Dixon who is eager to hold her speech.
