Connor wants to know from Karen if the BeLieF formula was a revolutionary invention unrivaled by anyone else in the fashion industry. When she confirms this, he gets a hunch that something fishy is going. Connor reveals to Karen that he just found out that the Forresters are stalling the patent application which makes absolutely no sense if no else has claims for it. Brooke and Taylor agree to respect Ridge's decision no matter what it might be. At Forrester Creations, Stephanie stuns Eric that Taylor offered Ridge to walk away if he really wants a future with Brooke. Steve arrives with news that their worst nightmare is coming true: none other than Connor Davis has inquired about their petition with the patent office. Steve pressures Eric that he must get Brooke to sign away her rights for BeLieF before Connor discovers the truth. Stephanie and Eric decide that Ridge should be the one to ask Brooke to sign the necessary forms.
