Sheila spikes Eric's drink with the powder from the infirmary. Just as Sheila wants to escort Eric to the car, he begins to feel dizzy. Thorne keeps Stephanie company while she waits for her dinner guest to arrive; they are both surprised that super-punctual Eric is running late. Over at Forrester Creations, Eric is overcome with a strong urge to get up, close and personal with Sheila due to the drug. They begin to kiss passionately and eventually make love on the conference table. Brooke explains to Karen that she regrets giving in to Ridge's request to have Bridget for the evening to make another attempt to have Taylor bond with his child. They suppose that Ridge's plan could backfire, though, if Taylor is really not ready to face the little girl. At first, Taylor does indeed feel very uneasy about being blindsided by her husband. Feeling pressured, she even tells Ridge to bring Bridget back to her mother immediately. Suddenly, Taylor wants to hold the baby. Taylor is smitten with Bridget, but cannot help but sense sadness that she and Ridge have no children yet. Ridge reassures her that they eventually will have kids.
