Sally happily shares the details of her latest tryst with Clarke with poor Saul. The tailor reminds his boss that there is a lot at stake and that he still thinks that Clarke cannot be trusted. Sally's guard goes up when Clarke later turns down her advances because he wants to concentrate on the new collection. Sally then confides her insecurities in Macy. Realizing that Spectras are no quitters, Macy tells her mother that she will try to work things out with Thorne. Blake has tied up Karen and accuses her of being ungrateful. In his frenzy, Blake angrily reminds Karen that he made her a Spencer heir and therefore will not free her until she agrees to follow up with his plan to go after Ridge. Bill and Thorne ram the gate at Blake's house. Then, while Bill is talking to Blake at the door, Thorne sneaks in and frees Karen. Just as they are about to leave the house, Blake shows up with a gun in his hand. Surprisingly, Blake realizes that it is over and lets Karen and Thorne pass.
