Carl and Bridget are tearing up the dance floor at Café Ruse. Bridget asks for Carl to stop for a moment so they can talk, but Carl says he is just getting started and they continue to dance.

Stephanie and Eric are at their home as Stephanie tells Eric about Christine’s new lead in the case. Stephanie says that if Christine can prove that there was a possible chance that Shane committed suicide, Ridge’s case will be lifted. Eric asks how confident Stephanie is in this new direction. Stephanie says she has to be confident for Ridge’s sake.

Phoebe walks into the conference room at Forrester Originals and finds Rick inside. He asks why she isn’t with her family on their way to the courthouse. Phoebe says that she wanted to stop by to see if she could get through to Rick one last time.

OPENING SEGMENT

Eric and Stephanie arrive at the LAPD to see Ridge. The guard receives a call from Lt. Baker, who allows the meeting. Eric and Stephanie are guided into the jail and arrive at Ridge’s cell. Ridge asks if his parents came by to wish him luck. Stephanie says that if Christine’s plan works, Ridge won’t need luck.

Rick urges Phoebe to save her breath. He hasn’t remembered anything about Grant Chambers, nor does he believe he ever will. Phoebe says that something must have happened in the past to make everyone believe that Rick was the one that shot Grant. Rick is surprised to see Phoebe so quick to accuse him of murder!

The music changes as Bridget thanks the Lord. Carl wants to keep on dancing, but Bridget claims her feet are tired and they need to rest before they cut another rug. The two go back to their table and Bridget, once again, asks Carl if he can tell her anything she doesn’t already know about the IVF. If Carl knows something, he needs to tell Bridget now.

Phoebe apologizes, saying she isn’t thinking clearly because she is scared for her dad. Rick says that he understands that Ridge is in a bind right now. He gets that. What he doesn’t get is how everyone thinks he should go in and confess to a murder Rick doesn’t remember committing.

Stephanie goes onto explain to Ridge what Christine is hoping for. She is down at the hospital now having another autopsy done on Shane to see if suicide was a possibility. Ridge realizes that if the gun went in the right way, then there is reasonable doubt and Ridge can be set free. The three hear someone coming and are all smiles when Christine appears with a guard. Stephanie asks if she had the autopsy done.

Instead of answering Bridget’s question, Carl changes the subject and asks Bridget about Ridge’s trial. Bridget asks Carl why he keeps changing the subject every time she wants to speak about the IVF. Carl tells Bridget that he can no longer lie to her anymore. Bridget doesn’t understand where he is coming from. Carl says that he is going to tell her the truth this time, and nothing but the truth.

Carl has a hard time admitting the truth, but he finally does. Carl admits that he doesn’t know anything about the Marone mix-up. He overheard Bridget and Dr. Caron speaking and used it to his advantage to do something about his crush on Bridget. Bridget is furious with Carl and calls him a liar. Carl tries to apologize, but Bridget has heard enough and leaves Café Ruse and Carl behind.

Rick takes Phoebe into his arms and asks if she realizes how much he loves her. Phoebe says that she knows he loves her. Rick tells Phoebe that all of his love cannot make him confess to a crime he doesn’t remember committing. Rick apologizes. Phoebe claims to understand and pulls away from Rick. Rick asks if Phoebe wants a ride home, but she drove her car and will see him in the morning. Phoebe leaves Rick alone in the office.

Christine reveals that the autopsy was done. Eric asks the attorney to stop stalling and let them know what it revealed. Christine is surprised that Eric knows about the new possibility, and Stephanie admits she told Eric and Ridge. Christine wishes Stephanie wouldn’t have done that. The autopsy showed a suicide was impossible the way the bullet entered Shane’s body. Ridge soaks in the news and sits down on the bench as Christine apologizes to the Forresters, but says she has hope she will defend Ridge the best she can at the trial.
