Thorne confides in Macy that he starts to have doubts that they will ever see his mother alive again. Macy pressures her spouse to remain optimistic. Brooke is pacing at the apartment concerned what the Forrester Matriarch might be staging to win back her former husband. Stephanie feels uncomfortable at the place which is supposedly her home. She wants to go back to her friends Ruthanne and Adam. The family takes Stephanie to the hospital for further examinations - and the happy news of her return spreads to Thorne. Dr. Marshall tells Stephanie's children and Eric that she suffered a small stroke which affected her memory. He says that Stephanie told him she ran out of gas in a bad neighborhood, was mugged, and had her car stolen. Her memory should have returned by now, but she does not appear to recognize anyone. Except for one person: she mistakes Brooke for one of her daughters.
