Shauna enters the Forrester mansion and finds Eric in quiet contemplations looking at Quinn’s portrait. They agree Quinn’s beautiful and Shauna suggests he’s missing her like crazy. Eric goes over her manipulation of Ridge and Shauna asks him to give her another chance. Eric’s missed having Shauna around. Shauna learned so much just listening to him talk. Eric’s chuffed to hear he broadened her horizons. Shauna tells him Quinn’s still holding a grudge, but they’ll be fine. She laments that Ridge doesn’t trust her any longer but feels Eric and Quinn will make it. Eric tells Shauna she’s gorgeous, funny, and smart but Brooke will always come first with Ridge. She’s too good to wait for crumbs. As Shauna presses him to take Quinn back, he admits he’s exhausted from living with chaos and his feelings for her took a hit. Shauna protests; he loves her and misses her and should have her come home. Eric concedes it’s not the same without her. Shauna teases that Flo and Wyatt would like her to come home too. Eric can’t get past the breach of trust and even worse it was directed at his son and Brooke. Quinn sneaks in and listens as Shauna makes another pitch on her behalf. “Forgive your wife. Take her back. Don’t throw your marriage away.”
