At Eric's house, Eric, Donna, Ridge, and Brooke glared at a front-page news article about Sheila on the coffee table. Brooke received a message from Charlie that Zende had entered the building. Brooke left, cryptically explaining that she had to take care of overdue business.

Later, Ridge had explained the saga between Janet Webber, also known as Sugar, and Sheila. Eric stated that Deacon and Finn had rescued Sheila after Sugar's death and wanted Sheila in their lives again. Ridge, who didn't care about Finn's "mommy issues," said Finn needed to take care of his family. Eric empathized with Finn, who was going through a difficult time.

Ridge reported that Finn was calling Sheila a hero because the story was that Sheila had fought Sugar to protect Steffy and her kids. Eric replied that Sheila was no hero and would say anything to get closer to Finn. Ridge stated that everyone knew that -- except Finn.

Eric asked how Steffy was taking it. Ridge indicated that Steffy had given her husband an ultimatum. Donna assumed Finn had picked Steffy. Ridge affirmed it but said he didn't like that Steffy had even had to tell Finn that he couldn't have both.

Later, Eric ended a call with Lauren and told everyone that Lauren was in shock. Ridge replied that they all were. He stated that Sheila did whatever she wanted and never paid. Donna remarked that they all knew better than to think Sheila was a hero, but Ridge shot back that Finn didn't. Eric explained that Finn was vulnerable, but Finn had done the right thing. Ridge maintained that Finn never should have asked Steffy to take Sheila into their lives. Ridge warned them to be on guard because Sheila was back.

In the design office, the mood was awkward as Luna entered while R.J. was working. She said she'd heard about Sheila, and she asked if he was okay. R.J. wasn't, but he wondered how Steffy was doing. Luna wished she could have been there when Ridge had told R.J. about Sheila, and Luna hated the gulf between her and R.J. She claimed to know it was her fault, but she still missed him.

R.J. said he missed Luna, too. She was upset that she'd ruined what they'd had. He insisted that none of it had been her fault, and she hadn't been in her right mind.

Luna replied that it still didn't change the way R.J. looked at her. Luna recalled being scared at the beginning of the relationship because she hadn't thought anything could be that perfect. When he'd told her that nothing would change his love for her, the fear had gone away. R.J. replied that he still loved her, and he just needed time to process it.

Luna figured she should have told R.J. sooner, and she hated herself for hurting him. She didn't think it mattered whose fault it was and said she was the one who had ruined their relationship the night she'd been with Zende. She began to talk about R.J.'s relationship with his cousin, but R.J. didn't want to hear anything about it after Zende had stabbed R.J. in the back. R.J. asserted that things would never be the same between him and Zende, and they'd never reconcile.

Wishing for R.J.'s sake that things could go back to the way they'd been, Luna noted that the joyful, playful, boyish quality R.J. had had about him had disappeared. It broke her heart to see that. Their relationship had been the most precious thing in her life, and the innocence would never return. It killed her to see that light gone from his eyes, and she was sorry.

R.J. insisted that it was Zende's fault. R.J. decided that he wouldn't let it tear them apart. He forgave her for not telling him sooner about what had happened. R.J. suggested that they move on, forget about it, and focus on them. Luna replied that he'd said he needed more time. He replied that he needed her. He'd meant it when he'd said he loved her, and he wouldn't let anyone or anything get between them.

R.J. and Luna kissed. He got a message about a meeting he needed to get to, and they agreed to resume their talk later. He exited, and as the smiling Luna sat down to work, she grew nauseous. She threw up and fearfully said she couldn't be pregnant.

In Ridge's office, Zende and Carter murmured a few words about Sheila's return. Zende admitted that he was still having a hard time concentrating on work, and Carter anxiously said it wasn't the time for HFTF's key designer to be unable to focus amidst discussions to cut back line funding. Guessing it was about Luna, Carter asserted that Zende and Poppy had been wrong -- case closed. Zende said it wasn't that simple.

Carter rehashed Zende's mistakes that night, but Zende said he'd told Luna that he lived across the courtyard if anything changed. Carter insisted that it wasn't okay because everyone had known R.J.'s feelings for Luna. Carter advised Zende to shut his feelings off and run from them.

Zende was aware that he had screwed up. Carter revealed that he'd made the mistake of falling for the wrong woman, and it had almost ruined his career and relationships. He didn't want that for Zende. Zende thanked Carter and mumbled that he didn't know what he'd do if Ridge knew.

Brooke arrived. She wanted to talk to Zende alone, but he said Carter already knew. "How you slept with Luna and stabbed my son in the back?" Brooke replied. Brooke insisted on speaking to Zende alone, and Carter exited.

Zende told Brooke that he already knew that he'd done wrong. Brooke said the word didn't even begin to describe it. He persisted in his stance that he hadn't known about the drugs, and he'd arrived home to Luna in his bed. Brooke argued that he'd been in his right mind and had known exactly what had been going on. Brooke blasted Zende for betraying his family and yelled that he'd had no right to sleep with Luna.

Brooke asked what Zende's mother would think. Brooke decided that it was time for Zende to leave and go to Forrester International. "No...Forrester Antarctica!" she exclaimed. Zende stated that he'd earned his place there, but she replied that he'd blown it. She revealed that, for Luna's sake, R.J. hadn't wanted Ridge to know, and Brooke expressed disappointment in the kind of man Zende was. Zende replied that he had genuine feelings for Luna.

Brooke insisted that Zende hadn't respected Luna or R.J. and had known that the two had been together. Brooke said Zende hadn't even stopped to ask what Luna had been doing there or if she'd still been involved with R.J. Tearfully, Zende said he was sorry and ashamed. He felt that the good thing was that they could put it all behind them, and nothing more would come of it.
