Stephanie kept her distance from Jacob as Cassie continued to blackmail her to stay away from the man she had feelings for. Stephanie and Cheresa developed a friendship, and Cheresa encouraged her friend to find a way to get the upper hand against Cassie. Stephanie wondered if she should pull Cassie's medical file to see if it would shed light on a secret; she was conflicted as she knew that it was a breach of her medical oath, however, after seeing a close moment between the married couple, she pulled the file. She was shocked to learn that Cassie had a paternity test run when she first discovered that she was pregnant with Carter, which meant that she suspected that Jacob wasn't the father, and it would have given her the opportunity and motive to change the DNA tests that were later completed. Stephanie struggled to know whether or not to tell Jacob. Shortly after, she assisted Cassie with a medical appointment as her regular doctor was away. While it was tense between the women, Stephanie still did the checkup and told Cassie that she was pregnant. Learning that Cassie was carrying Jacob's baby, Stephanie decided not to tell Jacob the truth as she didn't want the child impacted. Soon, however, Jacob and Stephanie ran into one another. Stephanie admitted that she was starting to have feelings for him before she pushed him away; Jacob admitted the same thing and they shared a kiss, unaware that Cassie saw! Once Jacob left, Cassie confronted Stephanie and threatened to reveal her secret of being a transwoman. Stephanie stopped her from leaving and a fight broke out between the women! Cassie tripped and fell which left her unconscious. Stephanie called 9-1-1; at the hospital, Jacob demanded to know what happened between the women but before Stephanie could answer, Jacob was allowed to visit Cassie. Stephanie was horrified to learn that she was suspended from the hospital because Cassie told Jacob that Stephanie attacked her, which resulted in her miscarriage. Stephanie vowed not to let Cassie ruin her life and wondered if she should reveal the truth about Carter.
