15 - 22 Jan
Eric and Brooke tape speeches to announce Rick's presidency to be broadcast on the company's website via podcast.
To ensure that Ridge knew that she wasn't taking sides, Brooke's speech included kind words about both her son and her fiancé's contribution to the company. After the taping, Rick alters the podcast before it is uploaded.
Rick is pleased when he learns, during his uncomfortable discussion with Taylor, about Ridge's reaction to the podcast. Fearing that their father/son relationship could be damaged forever, Stephanie suggests that Eric find a way make it up to Ridge for appointing Rick as president of the company.
Katie's insecurity regarding her relationship with Nick grows when she notices his reaction to the news about Brooke and Ridge's relationship. Stephanie's relentless interrogation forces Rick to admit to his recent deceptions.
Katie can't help but feel concerned and a bit threatened that Brooke may be single again. Stephanie must decide whether to go back on her word to Eric about not interfering with Brooke and Ridge's relationship or to join forces with Rick to keep her least-favorite couple apart.
Donna is blindsided when Eric rehires Owen. Little do Donna and Owen know that Eric has an ulterior motive behind this decision. Thorne assists his father in his plan to test Donna's loyalty.
It becomes very apparent to his new team that Rick's new-found power has gone to his head; not everyone will stand for it. When Stephanie and Felicia learn of Owen being rehired, it takes everything out of Thorne not to reveal Eric's plan.
25 - 29 Jan
Brooke surprises Ridge with "dinner on her" to celebrate him moving back in. Later in the evening, Brooke assures Ridge that Rick should not be a problem anymore. Much to Donna's dismay, Eric assigns her to work on Owen's surf line project.
Donna begins to pressure Eric into making a decision about their relationship, but is discouraged when she sees what she is up against.
Owen's pent-up frustration with Donna forces him to show her what she is missing by not being with him. Rick's desire for revenge becomes desperate when he sees that his recent plan against Ridge may not work the way he had hoped.
After Donna seemed to have passed his test, Eric decides to put his divorce on hold. Thorne makes a desperate plea to Eric to give Stephanie a second chance. Rick's unconvincing excuse prompts Steffy to call him out on the true reason behind his actions. When Rick fesses up, Steffy agrees to be his friend, but with restrictions.
What was supposed to be a friendly visit between Katie and Stephanie turns into a battle of the wills and they each find themselves being challenged by the other. Upset that Eric is still stringing Stephanie along, Thorne makes one last plea to his father before presenting damning evidence against Donna.
Brooke and Ridge plan their dream wedding and extravagant rehearsal dinner. Rick continues his attempt to win Steffy over despite her lack of interest in him. After Thorne shows his father the "truth" about Donna, Eric appears to make a final decision about his future.
