Quinn urges her to keep quiet, telling her that if she reveals the truth, it will spell the end of Ridge's marriage to Brooke.
Across town, Liam and Hope are dealing with their own problems. Liam is worried about Steffy, who has been taking painkillers to deal with her injuries from the motorcycle accident.

At the same time, Shauna is wrestling with her conscience. She knows that what she did with Ridge was wrong, but she can't help feeling like she has a connection with him that goes beyond friendship. In an effort to clear her head, she decides to go for a walk in the park.
While she's there, she runs into Bill, who has also been dealing with his own emotional turmoil. Bill is still in love with Brooke, and he's upset that she's decided to stay with Ridge.
