In a surprising turn of events, the jury acquits Dylan of the charges of seducing a minor. Sally, Anthony and Saul congratulate the defendant and commend Connor for his excellent defense. The lawyer reminds everyone that Dylan owes his acquittal largely to Stephanie's last testimony in court. In another part of the courtroom, Jessica, Stephanie and Eric reconcile: the teen apologizes for her behavior, and the two adults also admit to their own mistakes. Young lovers Dylan and Jessica decide to part way for the day to digest the news. In Casablanca, Taylor is curious to learn more about Ridge's life without her when James still refuses to leave her alone. James tells her that Ridge and Brooke are a happy family. Taylor claims to be very pleased about that because Brooke could give Ridge something that she never could: children. Taylor desperately tries to convince James that the marriage with Omar is giving her a similar gift: a lush life as a princess and probably a baby down the way soon. He has a hard time believing her story.
