Zende told Kristen & Tony that he would very much like to be their son. After a tearful goodbye to Tisha & some of his friends, Zende left for America with Tony & Kristen. Miss Logan & Megan packed for Brooke's retreat. Megan suggested that perhaps Brooke could stay away until she gave birth, give the baby up for adoption. Bridget joins Rick & Amber. Bridget worried that her mother would not open up to her. Brooke came downstairs with her bags, hugged her children good bye. She could not tell them where she was going. Rick said the rest of the Forresters would think something was up if she wasn't there for the stock transfer meeting. Rick & Bridget said they would abide by what she had decided. Bridget said she wished Brooke would not leave until Deacon stopped by to say good bye. Brooke wanted none of that and hightailed it out the door with Megan. Just after Brooke left, Deacon arrived. Amber said it seemed to her that Brooke seemed ashamed.
