Just as Ridge is about to fire him, Mick hands in his resignation and informs Ridge that he is moving back to New York. Kristen then arrives to bid a stunned Eric and Ridge goodbye. Eric wishes his daughter all the best. At the Logan House, Brooke tells Donna that she feels guilty for ending Eric's marriage. Donna thinks that Stephanie deserves what is coming for her after her manipulations with their family. Stephanie breaks it to Ridge, Thorne and Felicia that Eric wants a divorce and that it was a long process in the making. The shocked children comfort the Forrester matriarch. Meanwhile, Eric calls Brooke and reassures her that - regardless of their blossoming romance - the end of his marriage is not her fault.
