Hope asks Brooke about her time with Deacon. Brooke admits that having Deacon around is a constant reminder of her shameful act - sleeping with her daughter's husband. Brooke also admits to Hope that yes, Deacon does possess some good qualities as well. Hope then counters with Ridge not being perfect either, so why is only Deacon so vilified? Hope wants to have her father in her life and is willing to pay the price if he lets her down. Katie sees Donna emptying her desk at Forrester. Donna tells her that Quinn wants her gone and Eric is going along with it. Katie wants Donna to fight the decision, but Donna doesn't want to - Eric clearly still loves Quinn. Sheila wants Deacon to join her in forging the letter correspondence that they claim to have had while he was in prison. Deacon isn't convinced about Sheila's plan being a good idea, but Sheila explains that she is so hung up on Finn because her other children don't want anything to do with her. Eric comes home and tells Quinn that Donna is leaving the company. Quinn thanks him for backing her up, but Eric isn't happy about the situation.
