At the mansion, the Forrester family and their friends gathered in the living room for coffee and conversation after dinner. Talk turned to when Caroline and Rick would get married, and Brooke thought that Christmas would be a good time. Rick said he and Caroline couldn't wait that long, and he and Caroline would get married "right now."
The surprised group cheered, and Rick said that Carter had agreed to officiate. Eric offered to play the piano, and Rick let Caroline know that there was a surprise for her in the guesthouse. Rick asked Maya and Dayzee to help Caroline get ready.
As the ladies left, Aly remarked that impromptu weddings were romantic, and Hope should have one with Liam. Liam rendered a conspicuous look, and Hope took off to help the bride.
Quinn stood alone beside Stephanie's portrait. She said that she and Stephanie wouldn't have liked each other. "All those tributes they made...I understand you could be a royal pain," Quinn told the portrait. Eric walked up, and Quinn remarked that it was a lovely picture of his wife.
Brooke ambled onto the terrace, where Bill approached her to say that he wasn't giving up on them. Brooke told him that it was over. She tried to return to the house, but he stepped in her way and said he knew that she still loved him. He added that it might seem impossible at the moment, but they would get there. He returned inside the house, and Brooke looked conflicted.
Pam and Charlie rushed into the kitchen to get to baking because Pam refused to let anyone order a cake. Charlie remarked upon Pam's twinkling eyes, and she dropped the eggs she'd been holding. The two continued flirting as they baked a cake and made frosting. Charlie saw some frosting on Pam's lip, and he kissed it off of her.
In the guesthouse, Maya asked if Caroline was okay with getting married without her mothers. Shrugging sentimentally, Caroline said they'd want to kill her, but they'd understand. Maya put her hand over Caroline's hand, and Caroline smiled.
Hope arrived, and Dayzee led the ladies into the bedroom to see Rick's surprise. Caroline tearfully gasped when she opened a garment bag containing her wedding gown.
Later, Bill arrived to say that he'd gotten Caroline's text message, and he'd be happy to walk her down the aisle. Caroline tried to hug him, but he claimed to draw the line at public displays of affection. Hope, Dayzee, and Maya hugged Caroline and exited. Bill told Caroline that Rick was a lucky man. "If I had a daughter -- and I kind of feel like I do -- she would be just like you," he added and hugged her.
Back at the house, Rick had put on his tuxedo, and Maya wished him well. He gazed poignantly at her when she walked away. Brooke and Eric approached to wish Rick well. Pam announced that the bride was on her way, and Eric began to play at the piano.
Bill and Caroline entered the house. Caroline wore a strapless, ivory basket-weave gown. At mid-hips, the figure-hugging gown flared into a feathery skirt, and a birdcage veil sat upon her upswept hair. Brooke gave Caroline flowers from Aunt Caroline's garden, and Bill took Caroline down the aisle to Rick, who uttered that she looked beautiful.
Carter began the ceremony, and as Hope stood between Liam and Wyatt, Liam put his arm around her. Wyatt gave Liam a sharp look, and Liam triumphantly grinned back. The bride and groom exchanged traditional vows, and Carter assumed that the two weren't prepared to say personal vows to each other. "Who needs to be prepared when it's coming from the heart?" Rick asked.
Rick recalled meeting an exquisite, beautiful, talented, and bratty woman the day that Caroline had stepped out of the limousine. He joked about her brattiness but said she was always classy and determined. "And, well, you're my Caroline," he emotively added, and she began to shed tears.
Rick said he'd almost given up on them, but Caroline never had. He felt that every moment with her was truly a gift, and he intended to cherish her for the rest of their days. He asserted that he'd always loved her, and he would love her forever.
Caroline joked that Rick should be proud of her for not blogging her way down the aisle, but she was sure people would die upon seeing her gown. She was excited that the Logans and Forresters would be her family. Bill grunted, and she added that she'd always be proud to be a Spencer. Caroline said that Eric and Brooke had always been welcoming, and Hope was the sister Caroline hadn't ever had.
Still shedding tears, Caroline said that she adored Rick, who fascinated her, challenged her, and reined her in when she got out of hand. She felt that Rick had a way of centering her. She warned that she wouldn't be a typical wife but promised that it would make their lives interesting.
Caroline believed that they'd look back on their lives and know that they wouldn't have done it any other way or with anyone else. She called Rick her best friend and her partner. She asserted that she'd always loved him, and she'd love him forever.
Rick became tearful as he and Caroline exchanged rings, and Carter pronounced them husband and wife. The couple kissed, and everyone cheered.
The Forresters gathered in the kitchen to clean up after Rick and Caroline's wedding, which had taken place after Thanksgiving dinner. Eric congratulated Hope for pulling off a great family dinner on a holiday. Liam, Wyatt, Quinn, Donna, Hope, and Aly gathered to do dishes.
Hope said that she had been proud of the way everyone had managed to get along. They all agreed the family had made progress on that front. Eric received a message on his phone and said he had to make a call. He apologized that everyone had to clean up, but he'd sent the staff home so they could enjoy the holiday with their own families. Eric excused himself.
Quinn told the rest of the crew to relax in the living room because she and Donna would finish the cleanup. Quinn laughed that she had not meant to speak for Donna, but Donna said it was fine.
After everyone left Donna and Quinn alone, Donna noted that Quinn had never married. Quinn said that she had devoted her life to talking care of her son. Donna was surprised that Quinn spent her life alone.
Donna congratulated Quinn because Wyatt had turned out to be a wonderful young man. Donna added that Wyatt seemed to be taken with Hope. Quinn said that Wyatt and Hope were a perfect match, but Donna noted that Wyatt would be a good match if Liam hadn't been in the picture. Quinn argued that Liam had had many chances.
Donna wondered if Quinn were attracted to Eric because Quinn clearly liked to be near him. Quinn teased that it bothered Donna, but Donna was unthreatened. Quinn said that she had learned that Eric had been the love of Donna's life. "Is," Donna corrected.
Later, Eric returned to the kitchen. He wondered if everyone had left. Donna said almost everyone had gone. Eric wondered if Quinn had left. Donna said Quinn seemed to have gone without saying goodbye.
Donna had made tea for Eric, and she promised to add honey for her honey bear. Eric laughed but declined the offer.
Donna said that she wanted some honey, and she squeezed some on Eric's finger and licked it off. She reminded Eric of what they had together at one time. She recalled memories of getting married in the house, much like Rick and Caroline had done. Eric agreed they were good memories. Eric said he was going to get comfortable and read. He thanked her for the tea.
Quinn had witnessed the entire exchange from the shadows. "What the hell was that," Quinn inquired. She noted that Donna had sucked honey off Eric's finger. "I'm sorry, but I have to call a slut a slut," she said.
Donna scoffed, but Quinn started on a rant of how Donna had slept her way to the top and then divorced Eric and sold her interest in the company to Bill for huge piles of money. Quinn sneered that Donna had nothing to do all day, so she played secretary but shared a desk with Pam. Quinn bragged that she had used her own talents and her intellect to achieve success.
Quinn warned that Eric's granddaughter was only one room away and could have entered to witness the disgusting display. Donna shot back that Quinn knew nothing about Donna or Donna's relationship with Eric. Donna added that Quinn had spied on a playful moment between Eric and Donna.
Quinn didn't let up. Quinn declared herself an essential part of Forrester and an important part of Eric's business. Donna boasted that she had been a Forrester for a long time, and she had seen many women come and go at Forrester.
Donna reminded Quinn that Quinn had done a commendable job in raising Wyatt. However, Donna added that there was something "really off about you." "You are nothing but trouble." Quinn said with a smirk.
In the living room, Hope, Liam, Wyatt, and Aly discussed that Rick had surprised them all with the wedding.
Liam said that Liam and Hope had attempted numerous weddings before Caroline and Rick had ever met. Wyatt teased that Liam had been distracted along the way with all the failed wedding attempts with Hope. Aly noted that Rick had even had a dress made for Caroline, and Liam said that Rick had been resourceful and had gotten a lot of help in pulling the entire thing off as a surprise.
Hope joked that the Forresters could throw weddings together overnight. Hope and Liam recalled their impromptu Malibu wedding at his home. Wyatt teased that it had been another unsuccessful wedding. He added that they had planned weddings "all umpteen times," but none of them had succeeded.
Wyatt noted that Brooke had been the wedding planner for most of them. Hope agreed. Wyatt added that when he married Hope, they would plan their own wedding.
Liam looked furious, and Hope said nothing. Wyatt thanked Hope for a wonderful day. Wyatt held one of Hope's hands, and Liam held the other. Hope removed both of her hands.
Wyatt said it had been a weird experience to see both of his parents at the same table. Wyatt credited Hope for her ability to pull off impossible tasks. Liam rolled his eyes.
Hope said that she was ready to leave. Wyatt and Liam offered to take her home, but Hope had her own car. Wyatt asked Hope to accompany him to return the diamond necklace to Charlie, but Hope said that she planned to return home to her mom's house alone.
Wyatt left, and Hope prepared to follow. Liam begged Hope not to go anywhere with Wyatt, and Hope promised that she would not go anywhere with Wyatt.
Aly told Liam that Hope was an amazing woman, but Aly had been surprised that Hope had treated Liam poorly. Aly noted that Liam was funny and cute. Liam laughed and thanked Aly.
In the guesthouse, Rick carried Caroline over the threshold and surprised her with candles and champagne. Caroline was surprised, and she thanked Rick for surprising her. She tenderly asked him to continue to surprise her throughout their marriage.
Rick liked the sound of "my wife." He teased that he was looking for his wife, and Caroline promised that Rick would never have to look far for his wife. "I will always be right by your side," she said.
Later, Caroline called her moms and told them that she was "beyond happy." After she had hung up, Rick wondered if her moms had been disappointed that they had missed the wedding. Caroline said they were happy for Rick and Caroline.
Rick wondered if Caroline regretted that they had not had a huge wedding with doves and caviar. Caroline said that she had always envisioned a huge wedding with all the fanfare, but she said that none if of it mattered because she had found what was important to her. "All that mattered was becoming your wife," she said.
Rick and Caroline danced, and a path of red rose petals covered the floor and created a path into the bedroom where a heart of rose petals decorated the bed. They fell onto the bed and made love.
Later, Caroline told Rick it had been the best day of her life. Rick promised to top the day, and she smiled and told him to make it a personal challenge. Rick said that he loved her smile. He called her Mrs. Forrester.
In the main house, Donna waited in the living room for Eric. He said that he'd thought everyone had left. Donna said she wanted to see him alone. She reminded him that the happiest days of her life had been in that house. He agreed.
Donna was glad that Thorne and Aly had moved in. Donna had worried about Eric being alone in the house. Donna encouraged Eric not to rush into anything with anyone like Quinn.
Donna said that Quinn had called Donna a slut. Donna thought that Quinn was dark and possibly dangerous. Eric seemed concerned. Donna worried that something could happen to her honey bear. They embraced and kissed awkwardly.
Quinn had been hiding in the shadows and watched the entire exchange with an evil look on her face. Eric went to bed, and Donna turned out the lights before she left. She passed by a framed picture of Eric and Donna, and Donna smiled.
Later, Donna heard something break, and she noticed the picture of Donna and Eric had been broken. Donna turned in fear as Quinn stood outside on the patio in the shadows.
At Spencer, Liam sat in his office and looked worried. Katie entered and wondered what was wrong. Liam worried that Wyatt had some great idea about a photo shoot with new jewelry. Liam sarcastically wondered if Wyatt had become the head of PR at Forrester. Katie told Liam to stop worrying about Wyatt. Liam asked, "Why do I feel like I am losing her."
Katie noted that Liam had lost the old Hope but not to Wyatt. "She's not the same," Katie said. Katie explained that Hope had lost Liam many times, and she had learned to cope. Katie added that Hope had experienced success with her clothing line followed by failure and success again. It had all forced Hope to grow up. "You want it to be the way it used to be," Katie said.
Katie warned that Hope needed time to enjoy success. Katie suggested that Liam needed to figure out what he needed. Liam said that he realized they had both grown older, but he said that Hope was still the same girl he had fallen in love with.
Katie changed the subject and said that it was time for a review. Liam worried that every time his dad had given him his annual review, Bill had said that Liam "sucked less this year than last year." Katie joked that Bill should have been a motivational speaker.
Katie confided that she wanted Liam to give her a review. Katie asked if she had been a basket case at dinner on Thanksgiving. Liam responded that Katie had been more composed than Brooke or Bill. Katie quizzed Liam about Bill. She wondered if Bill had said anything about Katie.
Liam was uncomfortable. Katie wondered if Bill and Brooke spent any time together at Liam's house, but Liam said that Brooke had never stopped over. Katie wondered if Hope had said anything about Bill and Brooke, but Liam said that Hope rarely talked about her mom to him.
Katie worried that Bill was still lovesick over Brooke. Liam said that he knew nothing. Katie asked what Bill did all day, and Liam said that Bill awakened every day, ready to lead an army into battle, but there was no army. Katie worried that Bill still wanted Brooke, and Brooke had better watch out because Bill always won.
At a Hope for the Future photo shoot, Oliver photographed Hope in a black dress with jewelry while Wyatt watched. Maya, dressed in white, joined Hope in the photo shoot, and Wyatt encouraged them to behave like sisters and then like rivals. Next, he suggested they were best friends. Hope and Maya hammed it up for the camera. Wyatt teased that a catfight was on the way. Wyatt worked his way into the photo to break it up.
Hope liked the idea of Wyatt in the photo, and she encouraged Aly to ask Brooke or Thorne to find some wardrobe pieces for Wyatt because Wyatt had been wearing a plaid shirt and jeans and needed something more formal for the photos. Aly returned with wardrobe, and Wyatt posed with Maya and Hope. Oliver teased that Hope had discovered Wyatt, and Wyatt said that Hope had found him in the woods.
Hope and Wyatt got into some sexy shots, and Aly looked uncomfortable. Wyatt kissed Hope passionately. Aly was surprised. After the photo shoot, Aly said that she thought the shoot would have taken longer. Hope commented that they had a good team, and they knew what they wanted and worked well together.
Aly said that some of the shots with Wyatt were unusable. Hope noted that Wyatt had taken things a little too far, but Hope said that it was part of his charm. Aly disagreed and was surprised that Hope would have been charmed by Wyatt. Hope looked uncomfortable.
Hope advised that Wyatt wasn't taking advantage of Hope. Aly wondered what Liam would think. Aly said that it was unfair to Liam that Wyatt had clearly liked to upset Liam.
Hope explained that for a long time, Hope had constantly worried about Steffy ruining her relationship with Liam. Hope said that she had finally decided to concentrate on herself rather than her relationship with Liam. Aly wondered if Hope would choose a relationship with Liam once the line was successful. Hope answered with a quirky response that Liam had a cheerleader in Aly.
Aly, Oliver, Wyatt, and Hope all looked at the photos from the photo shoot. Hope enabled Aly's phone to access the Forrester server so that Aly could view the photos from her phone. Wyatt loved the photo of him passionately kissing Hope, but Hope skipped over it and claimed she had deleted it.
Later, Aly was alone in the office and accessed the photo of Wyatt kissing Hope. She sent the photo to Liam. At Spencer, Liam picked up his phone and saw the photo of Hope and Liam. He grimaced.
At Forrester, Brooke sat in an office, and Bill entered. Brooke wondered if Bill had arrived to see Rick or Eric. Bill ignored her. Brooke insisted that Bill leave the door open, but he closed it and locked it.
Bill said they had unfinished business in regard to Brooke's Bedroom. Brooke told Bill they would never again be in her bedroom. Bill insisted that the clock had been ticking on the relaunch of her line, which had been one of Forrester's most successful lines.
Brooke said that her line had not been a priority. Brooke reminded Bill that Hope had resurrected Hope for the Future successfully -- twice -- from the grave. Bill recalled that Brooke had planned to relaunch Brooke's Bedroom, but Brooke reminded Bill that she had painfully had to withdraw as the spokesmodel because she had been pregnant with his child.
Bill admitted that he had screwed up, but he refused to crawl back to Brooke and beg for forgiveness. Bill said that he had missed Brooke. He touched her arm and gently held her hand. Brooke removed her hand and said she refused to allow herself to return to a relationship with him. Brooke emotionally begged Bill to leave.
Bill said there had to be a way to be in the same room together. Brooke reiterated that there had to be a way to get what he wanted was what he meant. Brooke reminded Bill that they had made a mistake. "Now it's over," she said. Bill refused to believe that they would never be alone again and in bed again. Bill refused to accept that he would never touch Brooke again.
Bill asked Brooke what she thought of when she was alone at night, because Bill said that he thought of Brooke. Brooke turned to Bill and said "Goodbye, Bill. That's what I tell myself." Bill exited, and Brooke closed her eyes and cried.
At the mansion, the Forrester family and their friends gathered in the living room for coffee and conversation after dinner. Talk turned to when Caroline and Rick would get married, and Brooke thought that Christmas would be a good time.

Caroline tried to hug him, but he claimed to draw the line at public displays of affection. Hope, Dayzee, and Maya hugged Caroline and exited. Bill told Caroline that Rick was a lucky man.

Bill and Caroline entered the house. Caroline wore a strapless, ivory basket-weave gown. At mid-hips, the figure-hugging gown flared into a feathery skirt, and a birdcage veil sat upon her upswept hair. Brooke gave Caroline flowers from Aunt Caroline's garden, and Bill took Caroline down the aisle to Rick, who uttered that she looked beautiful.
Carter began the ceremony, and as Hope stood between Liam and Wyatt, Liam put his arm around her. Wyatt gave Liam a sharp look, and Liam triumphantly grinned back. The bride and groom exchanged traditional vows, and Carter assumed that the two weren't prepared to say personal vows to each other. "Who needs to be prepared when it's coming from the heart?"

Later, Aly was alone in the office and accessed the photo of Wyatt kissing Hope. She sent the photo to Liam. At Spencer, Liam picked up his phone and saw the photo of Hope and Liam. He grimaced.
At Forrester, Brooke sat in an office, and Bill entered. Brooke wondered if Bill had arrived to see Rick or Eric. Bill ignored her. Brooke insisted that Bill leave the door open, but he closed it and locked it.
Bill said they had unfinished business in regard to Brooke's Bedroom. Brooke told Bill they would never again be in her bedroom. Bill insisted that the clock had been ticking on the relaunch of her line, which had been one of Forrester's most successful lines.
Brooke said that her line had not been a priority. Brooke reminded Bill that Hope had resurrected Hope for the Future successfully -- twice -- from the grave. Bill recalled that Brooke had planned to relaunch Brooke's Bedroom, but Brooke reminded Bill that she had painfully had to withdraw as the spokesmodel because she had been pregnant with his child.
Bill admitted that he had screwed up, but he refused to crawl back to Brooke and beg for forgiveness. Bill said that he had missed Brooke. He touched her arm and gently held her hand. Brooke removed her hand and said she refused to allow herself to return to a relationship with him. Brooke emotionally begged Bill to leave.
Bill said there had to be a way to be in the same room together. Brooke reiterated that there had to be a way to get what he wanted was what he meant. Brooke reminded Bill that they had made a mistake. "Now it's over," she said. Bill refused to believe that they would never be alone again and in bed again. Bill refused to accept that he would never touch Brooke again.
Bill asked Brooke what she thought of when she was alone at night, because Bill said that he thought of Brooke. Brooke turned to Bill and said "Goodbye, Bill. That's what I tell myself." Bill exited, and Brooke closed her eyes and cried.
