taylor : who is the most beautiful little angel ? that 's you ! that 's right . yes . she is such a blessing . steffy : i know . i 'm lucky to have her . especially with what hope and liam are going through . taylor : i know . i feel terrible . for them to have to experience the pain of losing a child ... steffy : kelly lost her half - sister . taylor : there 's no replacing beth , but ... [ kelly blowing raspberries ] ... kelly does have a chance to have a -- a sister near her age . that 's right ! you do . and you have the opportunity to adopt that other little girl . that beautiful little girl . steffy : yeah.- taylor : have you thought any more about it ? steffy : mom , that 's all i keep thinking about . taylor : well , how do you feel ? do you think that little girl could be a sister to kelly ? brooke : i put the soup back in the refrigerator if you want to heat it up in a little while . hope : liam can have some . brooke : well , honey , you need to eat something , too . is n't it hard to keep looking at that ? hope : it 's the only thing i have left of her . i ca n't just forget her . brooke : we 're not gon na forget beth . you just need to take care of yourself , too . you know , maybe you should get out of here and go to the office . hope : no . my daughter died , mom . i - i do n't know if i can go back . brooke : you have to , honey . as tragic as this is , life must go on . hope : i just want to know why . flo : so , is this a fake birth certificate ? reese , do you know how much trouble you can get in for doing this ? reese : hey , do n't worry about it . flo : well , what -- whatever it is that you 're mixed up in , you 've involved me now , too . and i have a feeling i can get in a lot of trouble , as well , for pretending to be that baby 's mother . brooke : honey , you love your clothing line , and the message that you put out there to the world . so maybe you 'll find some comfort in that . hope : hope for the future seems so foreign to me now . brooke : i can imagine it does . but i think you 'll be ready to go back soon . hope : [ scoffs ] all of those things i was promoting , the positivity and the younger generation -- none of that matters anymore . i - it does n't mean anything . i -- i could n't even save my own daughter . steffy : i do n't want to get ahead of myself , not till i know all the details , mom . taylor : i told you all there is to know . my -- my colleague has a birth mother who is not ready to raise a baby , so she 's giving her little girl up for adoption . steffy : yeah , but you met the baby . what does she look like ? okay , now i 'm getting excited . i really need to stop . is n't that right ? [ cellphone rings ] yeah , huh ? taylor : hello ? reese : hey . hey , taylor . it 's reese . i - i hate to pressure you , but i 'm gon na need an answer , okay ? an opportunity for an adoption like this is very rare . taylor : i realize that . steffy is still very interested . reese : yeah . uh , i can arrange a meeting , but just remember , let 's leave my name out of it , okay ? taylor : yes , of course . we could meet today . reese : great . uh ... now is good . no . no , now is not a good time . taylor : well , then , when ? uh , my daughter is very eager to meet them . reese : i 'll give you a call back later . flo : so they want to come here and meet -- meet me , the supposed mother of this baby ? reese : yes , as soon as possible . flo : okay , look , reese , i 'm -- i 'm willing to help out , but you have to be completely honest with me . i want the whole story about that baby . what exactly are you doing ? i need to know now . snacking can mean that pieces get stuck under mike 's denture . taylor : sweetheart , is this really something you 're prepared to do ? raising two children so close in age ? i mean , i know why you want to do it . you want kelly to have a sister like you had with phoebe . and i -- i think that 's wonderful . but i just really want you to think about just one more time . consider absolutely everything before my friend calls back . steffy : i 've barely been able to sleep since you told me . i ca n't stop thinking about it . taylor : so , if everything works out , you 're prepared to commit to being a parent to this baby , too ? steffy : if everything works out , how could i possibly say no ? i want this . for kelly . especially now that she lost her sister beth . hope : i ca n't imagine going back to work . having to stand up in front of the fashion world and pretend like everything 's okay . like i still believe in optimism and humanity when i don't . because i do n't believe in a future without my daughter . brooke : i do n't blame you for feeling that way , honey . but the pain will go -- hope : never go away . brooke : there 's nothing that will ever make up for losing beth . there will be a little piece of you missing . i know that . but , honey , someday you will hold a beautiful baby , and you will have children if that 's what you really want . hope : no , mom . no ! [ sobs ] i do n't think i could go through this again . i 've already lost two pregnancies . i have lost two babies . what -- what is wrong with me ? brooke : nothing . there is nothing wrong with you . hope : i was beth 's mother , and she needed me , and i failed her . brooke : do n't say that , hope . hope : no . what if i had stayed awake ? you know ? what if i had n't passed out ? things might -- they might be different . flo : you have a thing for that taylor woman . i know it . reese : [ sighs ] flo : you 're just using me , right ? reese : of course not . flo : you know , i actually thought that you called because you missed me . because you wanted to spend some more time with me , and go to dinners like we used to . but i guess i was wrong . reese : i want that . i - i do . flo : prove it . reese : [ chuckles ] come here . you know how i feel about you , flo . flo : i 'm not so sure . look , i pretended to be that baby 's mother . i played along . i did everything that you asked me to do . but i -- reese , i 'm -- i 'm not gon na do it anymore . i 'm done . reese : no , no , no ! just stick with me , flo . [ stammers ] please . i will owe you big time . flo : you really need this to work , do n't you ? reese : yeah . flo : if i still help you , i need to know exactly how you ended up with that baby . reese : no . i ca n't tell you that . flo : why not ? it ca n't be that bad , can it ? reese : yes , it is . it 's that bad . to look at me now , taylor : she 's still sleeping . steffy : i 'm trying not to get ahead of myself , but i ca n't help feeling like this is meant to be . taylor : that 's because it is . what 's the matter ? steffy : it 's times like this i really miss phoebe . taylor : me too . steffy : it 's hard knowing kelly 's never gon na meet her aunt . taylor : [ sighs ] phoebe would have absolutely adored her . steffy : i still feel her , you know . like she 's around me . taylor : of course you do . phoebe was your twin . that kind of bond is unbreakable . steffy : yeah , she was my best friend . she was someone i could always turn to . i want kelly to have that experience . it would have been with beth , but ... taylor : you will tell her all about her half - sister when she 's old enough . you 'll keep beth 's memory alive . steffy : yeah , definitely . liam and i both will . he 's going through a lot right now . i told him i -- i may have a baby i want to adopt . i wanted him to know before it went any further . taylor : how did he respond ? steffy : he was supportive . i just do n't know how hope 's gon na feel . brooke : there 's nothing wrong with you , honey . you 're hurting . your heart is broken . hope : i 'll never be the same , mom . brooke : that 's right . because you 'll be stronger . you just have to be patient and loving with yourself . hope : all of this pain , it 's too much . i feel like i 'm drowning . reese : it 's better you do n't know the whole story . flo : babe , i 'm already in it too deep as it is . if you do n't start telling me the truth , then i 'm out . i can pack up right now and head back to vegas . reese : no ! no , no , no . no , no . florence , look ... baby , i -- i need you . flo : okay . well then you better start telling me the truth , now . reese : right . um ... [ sighs ] i was due to start my shift at catalina . i barely made it . the winds were fierce . [ wind howling ] power kept cutting in and out . the trees were down , and they were blocking the main road . the , uh -- the rest of the shift was stuck on the other side of the island . i was the only one at the clinic . until the two patients came in , i was there alone . that 's when i got the phone call . the threatened my daughter . flo : who ? reese : they wanted their damn money , and i told them that i would pay them . every day , i wonder if they 're not gon na do something terrible to my daughter . flo : to -- to zoe ? reese : i put her in danger . flo : okay , so , what -- what happened that night ? at -- at the clinic ? reese : there , uh ... there was a young mother . in labor . she was alone . and i did everything that i could . but the baby was stillborn . reese : i 'm so sorry . the baby was -- was already gone . there was nothing i could do . [ wind howling ] do you have someone to pick you up ? i just want to forget . please , i do n't want anyone [ echoing ] to know . flo : so , her baby died ? reese : yes . yes . i - i did everything that i could . but ... [ sighs ] because there was no staff , there were no papers . no official documents . so after the mother left ... flo : what ? what happened after she left ? reese : you do n't want to know . flo : yes , i do . reese , what does that night have to do with the baby sleeping in that room ? a migraine hope taylor : well , it 's sounding more and more like you 're ready to welcome another baby . steffy : [ scoffs ] i 'm certainly open to it if it feels right . but i 'm worried . because i know the moment i hold that baby , i 'm gon na fall madly in love . taylor : she is absolutely beautiful . steffy : [ sighs ] and if i pursue this ... hope will have to know . i 'm worried . just the timing . it 's so soon after . i do n't know how hope 's gon na react , or what kind of impact it 's gon na have on her . taylor : oh , i know only too well -- it 's going to take hope a long time to heal . steffy : i want to be extra sensitive to that . but i fear this new baby might be a constant reminder to hope of beth . hope : i hate feeling this way , but nothing seems to help . brooke : honey , you will get through this . you will have a child . and you and liam will have the life that you 've always wanted . you 'll get what you deserve . hope : mom , please . look , i - i appreciate what you 're trying to do , but i do n't need a pep talk right now , okay ? i ca n't stand it ! i just want to be alone . reese : i was used to having the best care around me -- nurses , orderlies , high - tech medical equipment , the best hospitals in london . i had none of that . i was on an island . no support whatsoever . i 'd already lost one baby that night . flo : what about the second patient , reese ? you said that there were two . reese : you -- you have to believe me . i -- i hate what i did . this is not me . flo : what are you talking about ? reese : the other patient , she was in active labor , too . [ sighs ] the -- the power went out , and she just kept pushing and pushing . and her blood pressure dropped , and she lost consciousness . flo : okay , and -- and -- and then what ? reese : i -- i was thinking about my daughter ! they -- they threatened to hurt her , and i did n't know if they would hurt her or worse . i - i just did n't know ! flo : what about the baby , reese ? the baby ? ! reese : the mother was unconscious when i delivered the baby . i -- [ sighs ] i cleaned off the child , and i checked her vitals . flo : a - a girl ? it was a girl ? reese : yes . a little girl . and as i stared down at this beautiful little child ... [ baby fussing ] ... it hit me . taylor and her daughter . taylor : steffy told me that she -- she wants to adopt . reese : adoption is a marvelous way to build a family . but steffy should know that it 's very complicated , and -- and , uh , very expensive . upwards of $ 50,000 . taylor : oh , heh , money is n't a concern at all . i would spend ten times that amount if it meant kelly getting the sister that steffy wants for her . reese : i made a decision . taylor : [ echoing ] ten times that amount . it was the worst decision of my life , but it was a solution . it -- it was to help me get the money that i needed to protect my daughter . so i put that beautiful baby up for adoption . i swear , it was for my daughter . when the father arrived , that 's when i told my first lie . [ wind howling ] the husband was devastated . when , uh -- when the wife woke up , he told her the terrible news . um ... she cried for her child , and ... i got the baby that was stillborn from earlier that night , and i put it in her arms . [ wind howling ] flo : oh , my god . you switched the babies ? [ gasps ] what is the name of the mother of the baby in there ? reese : wh - what does it matter ? flo : tell me her name ! reese : hope . her name is hope . flo : does hope know that her baby is still alive ? reese : no , she doesn't . hope will never know that her child [ echoing ] is alive . hope : mommy loves you . mommy will always love you . reese : hope will never know that her child [ echoing ] is alive . [ echoing ] her child is alive . | steffy tells taylor that yes kelly is a blessing especially after what hope and liam went through . taylor asks if she has thought any more about adopting this new baby girl . hope holds onto the ultrasound and brooke asks if that is a good idea to keep dwelling on it . hope says it is the only thing she has left . brooke says maybe it is time to go back to the office as life does have to go on . hope says hftf seems a lifetime away now . none of that matters any more . flo catches reese with a fake birth certificate but he tells her not to worry about it . he calls taylor and says he does not want to pressure her but he needs an answer today . taylor says her daughter is still interested and wants more details and that could be today . he says he will call her back and set it up . taylor tells steffy that she knows why she wants another baby so close in age to kelly but she needs to be prepared to be a mother to another young baby too and she needs to know that before reese calls back . hope wo n't listen to brooke anymore that she will have another baby when the time is right . hope says no , she has lost two babies already and she does not think she can go through tht again . flo says that she thought when he called her that it meant the two of them getting together the way they had been . he says it is and she wants him to prove it . he kisses her . she says she is still willing to help but she needs to know exactly how he got that baby girl . he tells her it is best that she not know . she says he has to tell the truth or she is out and back to vegas . |

taylor : is there something you 're not telling me ? have liam and hope -- have they -- brooke : no ! no , but they could . i mean , they 've been spending time together . they 've gotten really close . taylor : and you -- you would be okay with that if they had , if that had happened ? that 's exactly what i was afraid of -- that you would be giving hope your blessing to make a move on liam the minute that steffy was out of town . brooke : taylor , please . taylor : no , because i 've already seen this before . i 've already lived it . that 's exactly what you did to my marriage to ridge . of course , it did n't matter that we already had a home together , and we had a family . so , of course , why should it matter to hope ? of course she wo n't care if steffy 's -- this is not going to happen , brooke . she is not going to do to my daughter what you did to me . it ends now ! | with their faces only inches apart and bill caressing brooke 's cheek , she says his name to stop him from probably kissing her . he rants that katie should not have left him again and all over one lousy drink . brooke reminds him that it 's an issue and he could n't do the one thing katie did not want him to do tonight . he says he is so sick of hearing katie say that she wants him to be the best man he can be . he rants again that he does not have a drinking problem . it is katie ; she is over reacting . brooke tells him to stop it . katie and her child are counting on him . her relationship with her sister is sacred . that is why she arranged this romantic evening , but bill could n't do the one thing that katie wanted him to do . he counters with it is so damned frustrating and again that katie is over reacting . when bill moves closer , brooke tells him that katie is her sister and she 's always looked up to brooke . there is no way she would ever do anything to jeopardize that relationship . bill says he understand that . he promises he will make it up to katie . he wants to make this work and asks brooke nicely if she will please help him get through this . brooke says of course she will . he says it will all be okay if katie would just try to stop fixing him . brooke says they will be just fine . katie is probably waiting for him right now to kiss and make up .. `` so giddy - up stallion , ride home to your wife . `` dayzee is shocked as the young lady tells her that her name is maya . she helped out in the homeless shelter several years ago and now she has come back for her baby . it 's been so long since she went away and since maya has kissed or held her little girl . if dayzee will just tell her where she is , that is all she will ever ask of her . she does n't want to talk about prison or her court appeal . she is sorry that dayzee did not receive her letters or e - mails . and even her own family turned against her and did not want her to come to l.a. , but what is the use of voice and dance lessons if you are gon na play it safe . she reminds dayzee that she never once judged her . she was the one friend everyone could turn to . maya says when she had to go away to prison , her own parents were not an option nor any friends so she had no choice but to give up her baby . like an angel , dayzee came to her rescue and found a good home for her , but now she is back and ready to be a good momma . liam and hope are cuddled on the couch , laughing and giggling , talking about having some popcorn . she says this is what they were robbed of , nights like this and so much more . she knows the microwave beeper is driving him crazy so she kisses him and says she will go get the popcorn and be right back . she is barely out of the room when there is a knock at the door . it 's taylor and she does n't even give him a chance to say no ; she walks on in and says she needs to talk to him and hopes he is alone . she 's almost shocked when hope emerges and says do n't let her stop her from saying what she came to tell liam . taylor berates her for barely letting steffy out of their sights before hope makes her move on liam . hope reminds her that steffy would do the same thing . taylor says things have changed . hope says yes they have as now she and liam know the truth . taylor says hope has had many changes before and something always comes up to break them up again . hope says it also was wrong for steffy not to tell liam what she knew . taylor wonders if she is asking too many questions . hope says yes , but it is understandable . she is only protecting her daughter . and taylor suggests that brooke is doing the same thing . what they all need to do is sit down and talk this out . she realizes they have been victims of things that bill orchestrated to keep them apart . that 's unfortunate , but it is not going to change the bond that steffy and liam have now . liam just looks on and ca n't get a word in edgewise ; cat 's got his tongue . taylor leaves . |

[ knock on door ] taylor : florence ! flo : hi . come on in . come on in . taylor : thank you . flo : so good to see you again . and this -- this must be your daughter . steffy : uh , y - yes . steffy . thanks for making the time to see us . flo : oh , i 've got nothing but time until my little girl finds a home . steffy : this must be really hard for you . i hope i would have the strength to do for my daughter what you 're doing for yours , if that was the case . flo : oh , i do n't -- i do n't know if it 's strength , exactly . taylor : maybe it 's love . flo : love does make us do things we never thought we would . zoe : so you 're not even gon na have a coffee ? reese : uh , two cups makes me too jumpy . look , i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry , but i may have a patient emergency brewing . zoe : oh , that early delivery ? reese : late . long overdue . i - if i get this text , i 'm gon na have to leave . zoe : [ scoffs ] okay , so , if you 're not hungry , and you do n't have enough time for a meal ... reese : mm - hmm . zoe : ... then why did you want me to meet you here ? reese : because you are the light of my life , and i can only go so long without the light of my life . zoe : mm - hmm . reese : um ... whatever happened to you getting the german shepherd ? yeah . i distinctly remember you saying you were gon na get a german shepherd . zoe : okay . nice try . but you 're the one who had this sudden worry about me living alone . what am i gon na do with a big dog ? okay ? i 'm not home all day . reese : take it to forrester . zoe : yeah , because that will go over big . [ scoffs ] reese : hey , it 's against the law for a girl to be mad at her father for worrying . zoe : [ chuckles ] reese : oh , no . it 's a real thing . it 's an american law . zoe : mm - hmm . reese : mm - hmm . zoe : yeah . reese : [ laughs ] zoe : you seem better . are you ? reese : [ sighs ] i never want to live through anything like i did that night on catalina , but ... yeah . i guess there is a light at the end of the tunnel . zoe : good . wyatt : so , you lose a child , and then steffy goes , `` oh , i 'm adopting `` ? liam : no , no , no , no . it -- it was n't like that . i mean , steffy 's been thinking about it for a while . wyatt : even -- even while kelly was just about to have , like , another half- sister ? liam : yeah , but -- but you know there was all that friction , and it was starting to seem more and more like the two girls might not have a close relationship in the future . wyatt : friction between your wife and your ex - wife . yeah , i know this . you do n't have to draw a finger - painting . liam : exactly . which -- which is -- that 's the closeness that steffy was longing for for her daughter , for kelly , because , you know , that 's what steffy had growing up with phoebe . that 's why adoption came up . wyatt : oh , my god . okay , so , when -- when are you gon na tell hope that steffy already found someone ? liam : not until i have to . wyatt : in the state she 's in ... liam : i know . wyatt : dude , that -- that might set her back . liam : i know . steffy : my mom says you 're not from here ? flo : no . i , uh -- i went out to las vegas a few years ago , and never came back . not because i struck it rich or anything , i just , uh -- it 's just cheaper to live there , so ... steffy : so , are you , um -- are you planning on staying here ? flo : no . vegas is home . it 's where everyone knows me , and i have work , so ... steffy : is that where your baby 's father lives ? flo : i would n't know anymore , actually . it 's just -- that 's kind of how he wanted it . steffy : no , no . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . flo : no , it 's fine . steffy : i should n't have said anything . do you have any questions for me ? i mean , you do n't really know me , or what kind of home i 'd be giving your daughter . flo : no . your -- your mom said so much about you already . taylor : all good things . steffy : okay . um ... okay , well , uh , i have an executive position over at my family 's company . i get to pick my own hours . i - i can work from home . i 'm sure my mother told you , but i -- i have a daughter myself , just like you . actually , i can show you a picture . here . she 's really adorable . flo : oh ! oh , she 's beautiful . steffy : yeah . yeah , thank you . i had a sister . we were twins , actually . we were really close . i want my daughter to have that kind of closeness . [ baby cries ] flo : it sounds like someone wants to meet you . steffy : oh ! flo : i 'll , uh , just go grab her . steffy : okay . to look at me now , reese : oh , no . i 'm sorry . there 's been some kind of mistake . zoe : uh , no , there hasn't . you 're going to eat . reese : well ... okay . but only because you ordered something that i happen to like , so ... zoe : mm . accident ? reese : mm - hmm . zoe : i think not . reese : [ chuckles ] zoe : so ... [ sighs ] have you been seeing someone ? a therapist , i mean . reese : [ chuckles ] you think your dad 's gone around the bend ? zoe : well , i 'm worried you might if you do n't seek some counseling for this horrible thing that 's happened to you and hope spencer . and the baby she lost . what ? do you want me to order you something different ? reese : no . no , no , no . hey , i -- i just love you so much . and i want you to know that . okay , come on . liam : hey . wyatt was here . hope : yeah , i saw him leave . i 'm [ sighs ] glad that you have someone to talk to . i feel like i 'm f - failing at that , too . liam : no -- no , you 're not . i love you . hope : i 'm sorry . [ inhales sharply ] liam : no , no . it 's okay . hope : no , i love you , and the things that i said ... liam : you did n't mean . hey . please do n't punish yourself , 'cause there is more than enough pain going around . hope : you know , if i get through this ... it will be because of you . liam : you 're stronger than you think . hope : i know you think i 'm holding on to all this pain and hurt , liam , but no . beth 's memory wo n't leave me . so -- so why did she ? taylor : well ? what do you think ? steffy : about florence ? it 's kind of hard to say . taylor : we can walk out of here right now if you want . steffy : no , no , no . no . she seems sweet . real . taylor : that 's how she struck me , too . steffy : [ sighs ] i guess i 'm just surprised . like , her lack of curiosity . she did n't ask me any questions . taylor : i was already here , remember ? honey , i asked her a lot of questions . i talked you up . i asked her everything i could about the baby 's health . steffy : so no red flags ? taylor : no . no , but that 's something you have to make up your own mind on . and remember , you 're not adopting florence , all right ? just ... reserve judgment until you hold that little child in your own arms , and then you 'll know . steffy : yeah . yeah . flo : so ... you remember taylor , do n't you ? and the other lady over there , her name is steffy . steffy : ohhh ! look at you ! taylor : oh , what an angel . steffy : hey , darling . taylor : oh , she -- steffy : [ gasps ] taylor : i told you she was so beautiful . steffy : yeah , but she 's -- she 's beautiful . my gosh . look at her ! taylor : mm . steffy : look at that face ! taylor : she ca n't take her eyes off you . steffy : [ laughs ] flo : do you want to hold her ? steffy : y - yea -- uh , oh , yeah . i would love to . hi , there . [ gasps ] hi . oh , my goodness ! flo : you got her ? steffy : oh , my goodness ! mom ... hi . oh ! oh , you beautiful little girl . just like kelly . i 've been waiting for you . thinking about you . [ chuckles ] [ voice breaking ] and now here you are . oh ! | steffy is not sure if she is being too premature of wanting another little girl . taylor tells her the guy will call back and this is kelly 's little sister . flo feeds the baby and says her real mother should be holding her . reese says she does not know what these people would do to his daughter so he had to do this . he made a bad choice but only because there were no good choices . flo says the real mother does not deserve this punishment . he says what is done is done and that is a fact . and the best thing they can do is find this baby a good home and she will see this when she meets the adoptive mother . he can not do this without flo . he calls taylor who is delighted that he wants her and steffy to come over this afternoon . he slips out and tells flo it is all in her hands now ; he can not be involved . it is too much a coincidence . his daughter 's life depends on what he does next . liam asks hope if she wants food or anything but she turns him down . he too wonders if this photo of ultrasound is bringing her comfort . perhaps it would be best to put it away . she claps back at him that he has another daughter so that might work for him but not for her . while she is out walking the grounds , wyatt stops by . liam says hope is angry , not against him but just the whole situation . she 's looking for some sort of closure that beth is looking down on them but there has been no sign . he confides in wyatt that steffy is thinking about adopting another little girl and for now it would be best that hope not know . |

[ scene_break ] taylor : could you just please try to see this from my point of view ? even stephanie wronged me . who does that ? who denies their best friend the right to say goodbye and have closure on their deathbed ? who does that ? and that you would even allow it ? ! brooke : our relationship grew and changed through the years . and we finally accepted each other . she was my best friend , too . and i know that that was difficult for you . taylor : so , what was it like , um ... when she passed away ? were you at least there for her ? did you hold her in your arms ? brooke : it was beautiful , really . we were there , overlooking the lake . and everything had just melted away . there was nothing left but forgiveness ... and love . you do n't understand why she chose me to be there , do you ? taylor : no . no . no , i do n't understand . no , i do n't . no . not -- [ chuckles ] not even for her husband , eric ? what about her children ? what about her family ? no , i - i do n't get that , brooke ! brooke : she was trying to make a point . she wanted all of us to get past the grudges , to move on with our lives , to be there for each other , love each other , and support each other , and build each other up , not tear each other down . that is what stephanie wanted for us . her biggest regret was all the time that we wasted hating each other . she wanted us to get past that , just the way she and i had . [ scene_break ] katie : i do n't have to question the way you feel about me . i can see it when i look in your eyes . and it would be so easy for me to let you off the hook and fawn all over you and agree with everything you say . bill : well , maybe you ought to give that a shot . katie : i love you . you 're the love of my life . and you 're right . i do know who you are ... as a husband and as a father . and we 've done well together -- in business , in our marriage . and now we 're the parents of this beautiful little boy , and i just want what 's best for him . i 'm not just calling you out . i 'm challenging myself , too . i 'm just trying to make up for lost time . we 're in a good place . we 're in a solid place . we have a new house . we have a new baby ... a new understanding of ourselves and of each other . i value everything that 's brought us to this point ... no matter how hard it was ... because i 'm excited about our future . i 'm excited about tomorrow . and most of all ... i 'm excited about tonight . [ scene_break ] dayzee : look , i feel for maya . i do . giving up your child has to be the hardest thing a parent can do . hope : yeah . but it sounds like she had no choice . dayzee : she did n't . and now that little girl is with loving , devoted parents who adore her . hope : yeah . dayzee : she 's happy and well - adjusted . you ca n't just come in and take all that away from her . i 'm sorry . maya signed over her parental rights . she relinquished her child for adoption . and i know that , at the time , she was desperate . but it was the best thing she could have done . [ sighs ] and she comes in here acting like i forced her to do it , and i do n't like that . hope : no , and it was n't fair for her to put you in this position . dayzee : no . my life is so much different now . i 'm not getting involved in that . i have a business and an incredible husband . hope : hey , um ... does she know that you 're a forrester ? dayzee : no . hope : no ? dayzee : no , she called me by my maiden name , dayzee leigh , so she does n't seem to know that i 'm a forrester . and i kind of want to keep it that way . so ... hope : are you gon na tell marcus ? dayzee : no . i 'm proud of what i did . i helped a lot of people . but marcus does n't need to know about it . hope : i think -- i think that maybe you should tell him . dayzee : no . no , just -- not now . not with maya around . please do n't say anything . hope : no , i wo n't . i wo n't . dayzee : thank you . i 'm -- i 'm a forrester now . this is my life . i 'm not looking back . [ scene_break ] katie : i 've missed you . [ scene_break ] taylor : i would like to find a way for our families to get along . but i do n't trust you . i have been burned by you and your family too many times , and so have thomas and steffy . brooke : i do n't know what you want to hear . if you feel like your family is coming in second to the logans , then that 's your problem . personally , i think it 's a cop - out . you need to take responsibility and stop being a victim . taylor : [ sighs ] do n't tell me how to live my life . brooke : you ca n't control us . you ca n't control forrester creations . i know you 're frustrated . i 'm sorry . that is not our intentions . but our lives are going to be intertwined for a very long time , and i think you should get used to it . taylor : i am not going to allow you to sabotage my children . brooke : sabotage ? what are you talking about ? taylor : you heard me . i demand respect for steffy and liam . i demand respect for thomas by rick . and on behalf of your sister , i demand respect for her marriage to bill . brooke : oh , my god ! i ca n't believe it . taylor : no , you 're gon na listen to what i have to say , because you may have played all your cards right and gotten stephanie on your side and been able to cradle her in your arms when she passed on . but you know what ? she 's not here for you anymore . she 's gone now . things are going to be very , very different around here right now . your children are not going to trample mine the way you did me . i 'm going to find a way to stop you . | taylor says she will repeat it one more time . brooke needs to find a way to stop hope as liam and steffy are in a committed relationship . bill did a lot of things wrong , but you ca n't go back . taylor is just doing what she thinks is best for everybody by telling hope to stay away from liam . there are boundaries and this is just wrong for her to be chasing after a man that is committed to another woman . then she throws in the part that thomas is ready to move to paris because he has had it . his own grandmother screwed him over . brooke points out that had nothing to do with her family and she is tired of taylor blaming everything on the logans . hope quizzes dayzee about maya and does n't understand when dayzee calls her a client . dayzee says it seems like a lifetime ago now . maya was a singer / dancer and she booked a few jobs but it never worked out . she had a baby girl and dayzee tried to help . hope pulls it out of her that she helped others as well and ended up practically being her own adoption agency . katie is having a re - do of dinner when bill returns . he does n't know why his drinking bothers her so much . she says it usually leads to bill making bad decisions . she wants him to be there in the moment with her and her son . she knows she has been on him a lot lately and she does n't want to be a drag . she just wishes he could do this one thing for her . he reminds her that when she put that ring on his finger , she knew what she was getting in for . he listened to absolutely no one who tried to tell him what to do . marcus pops in to see dayzee and gives her a quick kiss but tells her that he has to go . hope gathers that he does n't know anything about this and dayzee would like to keep her past that way . dayzee says she has to call maya because she will keep calling and not let this go . dayzee calls and makes arrangements to see her at the farmer 's market the next day . hope wonders if dayzee is going to help maya get her little girl back . |
hope : you did all of this for me ? wyatt : with a little help from mother nature , it 's just another day in paradise . hope : i 'm so glad that i said yes to this trip . wyatt : yeah ? hope : yeah . wyatt : the adventure 's just beginning . [ scene_break ] pam : you know ... oh . thank you . [ chuckles ] quinn : [ chuckles ] cheers . pam : quinn , if there 's something that you feel like you need to get off your chest , people say i 'm a really good listener . quinn : [ sighs ] you know , pam , this is n't easy for me to say . i was so young when i had wyatt . and i was all alone . nobody to show me how to be a good parent . but i knew i had to take care of him the best that i could . he became my every reason for being . pam : but there 's nothing not to be proud of in that . quinn : no , no , i am . i am . i mean , look at us . look at what we 've accomplished . but i have to admit ... it has n't always been easy having me as a mother . [ scene_break ] rick : wyatt wanted to get away . brooke : so you told hope it was okay to go with him ? camping ? rick : mom , hope 's been through a lot . she wanted to try something new . brooke : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] katie : hi . ridge : hi . you left your phone at my house . and adele said you were working from home . katie : thank you . yeah , i decided not to go back to the office . i needed a mental health day . please , come in . ridge : thank you . a mental health day ? our talk did n't help you ? katie : actually , yes , it did . that 's why i dragged out all those old books . ridge : so , you talk to me and that 's what you did ? you went home and dragged out books and sat on the couch reading them ? katie : it 's not usually the effect you have on women , is it ? ridge : katie ... [ sighs ] i know what it 's like to be a c.e.o . , and you 're doing a great job , but you got to take some time for yourself . renew your energy . maybe you need some inspiration , and maybe i can help . katie : you already have . [ scene_break ] brooke : hope just got back from hawaii . rick : where she ended things with liam . this trip is about her moving forward with wyatt , maybe taking it to the next level . brooke : honey , she takes this very seriously . rick : i do n't get the impression he 's the kind of guy to play around with hope 's feelings . from everything that i 've seen , he seems very protective . [ scene_break ] pam : you and wyatt always seem like best friends . quinn : well , we 've always been really close . but that 's a really easy line to cross , you know ? am i being supportive or am i smothering him ? pam : [ chuckling ] oh , yeah . well , it did go a little overboard with the whole thing of trying to get him together with hope . quinn : [ laughs ] that 's only because i was so excited for him . it was n't like that at first . when they first started getting close , i -- i was terrified that i was gon na lose him . but then i saw how special hope was and what she could bring into his life . and then i let my enthusiasm carry me away . pam : yeah , well , we 've all done that . quinn : [ laughs ] somehow , i knew you would understand . pam : [ chuckles ] quinn : thank you . this was nice . pam : yeah . yeah , it really was . quinn : yeah . hey , if you do n't have to rush back to the office right away , there are a -- there are a few other places i was hoping i could take you . pam : really ? like , now ? quinn : yeah . pam : well , donna should be back there by now , so who 's in a rush ? quinn : [ laughs ] that 's great . you know , pam , you and i , we 're such different people , but i think sometimes that 's what makes a really good relationship . to friendship . to always having each other 's backs . [ glasses clink ] [ scene_break ] [ seabirds crying ] hope : so ... wyatt : hmm ? hope : what 's next ? wyatt : no clue . this trip has no itinerary . no schedules , no maps or agendas . it 's just you and me . hope : mm . wyatt : whatever we want to do , whenever we want to do it . hope : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ridge : i 'm sorry you have to go through all this . katie : it 's a lot of work , but you have made me see that i have a lot to be grateful for . ridge : well , i 'm glad i could help . katie : and here you are again . ridge : you do n't mind , do you ? katie : no , but wo n't they miss you at the office ? ridge : if they miss me , they can call me . katie : have you talked to brooke ? i mean , you were on her doorstep when i ran into you earlier . ridge : i did n't have anything to say to her that could n't wait . and i kind of have a feeling that whatever you said to her , she had to digest for awhile . katie : i 'm not sure she hears anything i have to say . it 's the same with bill . he can only see this from his perspective . he says he was acting out of love and that i should understand . he says that there 's nothing a parent wo n't do for his child .

[ chuckles ] i just could n't wait . katie : um ... well , uh , ridge was just about to go see you . ridge : yeah . uh , i had to go to your house to have a conversation . not have it here . brooke : i know , well , i came here instead . maybe it 's good for katie to hear this , anyway . uh ... look , i know you said that you needed some more time to think about us . but you 've really built this wall between us with distance and separation , and i think it 's time for that wall to come down . remember this ring ? that you gave me in the olive groves in italy ? we can do this . we just need to forget about those mistakes and just put them behind us and move forward . we do n't need to wait any longer . we need to make a decision . so let 's just do it . all you have to do is take this ring ... put it on my finger ... and say you will marry me .

[ scene_break ] hope : it is so beautiful . wyatt : yeah . you know ... all my life , i 've been fantasizing about getting out on my own and finding my own piece of solitude . you know , something that changes me . but it was n't a place that changed me . it was a person . i 've found all of my peace and satisfaction ... right there . in your eyes . your eyes and all the truth within them , reflecting everything that is good in the world . it 's everything that i want to be and i want near me . the closer we get ... the more i feel it . singer : holding on to you so tight darkness leaves when you 're nearby to love you is life to love you is life hope you 'll never go away words i think but can not say to love you is life i 'll love you for life ooh , ooh , ooh , ooh - ooh- ooh ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh ooh , ooh , ooh , ooh - ooh - ooh ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh i 'll love you for life i 'll love you for life | hope tells wyatt that she is so glad she said yes to this trip . he is glad too as their adventure is just beginning . he pulls her closer and kisses her . pam and quinn continue with their lunch . the waiter pours more wine . pam tells quinn if there is anything she 'd like to get off her chest , people tell her that she 's a really good listener . quinn says it 's not easy for her . she was really young when she had wyatt and she had no one to teach her how to be a parent . he became her whole reason for living and they have accomplished a lot , but it has n't always been easy having her as a mother . it 's a fine line between is she being supportive or smothering him . she admits she was scared she might lose wyatt when he became interested in hope but hope is so nice that then quinn really got carried away with wanting them together . they drink more wine and quinn convinces pam that if she does n't have to go right back to work there are a few more places she 'd like to take her . she 'd really like to have her as a friend and she offers a toast to that . they go shopping and pam has the time of her life trying on clothes , jewels , scarves , fur wraps and polishing it off with a mani / pedi . hope and wyatt cuddle on the sand and she asks what is next . he says that is the beauty . they have no itinerary , no schedule , no maps or agenda . he says it 's just the two of them and they can do whatever they want to do whenever they want to do it . they walk on the beach and see some dolphins swimming just offshore . wyatt says this is supposed to be freedom for her but he also does n't want her to feel too disconnected . she says no , she loves it . everything she needs is right here . rick explains to his mother that hope has been through a lot so he told her it would be okay for her to get away with wyatt . she let go of liam in hawaii but this trip may mean she is ready to take it to the next level with wyatt . and from everything he has seen , he does n't seem like the type to play around with her feelings . he 's very protective . ridge shows up at katie 's and says she left her phone at his house and her secretary said she was working from home today . she invites him in and even shows him a pile of books on her coffee table that she drug out and was reading . she says that is probably not the effect he usually has on women . brooke opens her purse and brings out her engagement ring and shows rick . she says it is the ring that ridge gave her when he proposed in italy . he did not ask for it back and she kept it . when rick shakes his head , she says ridge left and she let him go . he stayed away and she did not push him . now he 's back and she is here . he says he needs a little more time , but she ca n't wait any longer . ridge tells katie that nobody has been more loyal to her family than she has . she 's strong and it 's a beautiful thing to see . he answers his phone and it 's brooke saying she needs to see him . he muses that now is not a good time ; he 's with katie . brooke thinks that is good that he is with her as she needs someone to talk to but this really ca n't wait . and time is not the answer for them . ridge says he will stop by later . katie tells ridge to go to brooke now ; she needs him . she can see why brooke has loved him all these years . he 's a good guy and decent and after all she has been through with bill , it 's good to be around a man who still treats women with respect and kindness . brooke walks in and says she just could n't wait . katie stammers that ridge was just about to leave to go see her . brooke says ok , but she just had to come and it 's okay if katie hears this too . ridge looks uncomfortable but brooke continues . she knows he asked for more time , but she feels he has put up this wall and she thinks it is time that it came down . she brings out the ring and reminds him of when he gave it to her in the olive groves of italy . she says they can do this . they just need to take those mistakes and put them behind them and move forward . they do n't have to wait ; just do it . just take this ring and put it on her finger and just say that he will marry her . |

[ glasses clink ] liam : okay , so what the hell happened ? so -- [ chuckles ] so what ? wyatt was just like , `` yeah , i 'm good . i give up . here 's your freedom `` ? steffy : no , no , he wanted to reminisce a bit , and then carter showed up with the finalized divorce papers , and he just -- he did n't want to come in second or he did n't want me to stay with him because he was pressured or i was pressured because of my grandfather and quinn . liam : yeah , that , um ... that sounds like him . you know , the truth is , as ecstatic as i am to have you back , i feel bad for my brother now . steffy : yeah , i know . me , too . but he 's a good guy . he deserves to be happy . liam : he does . but so do we , right ? i mean , unfortunately , this is the kind of situation where one of us was gon na get hurt . is it bad that i 'm psyched it was n't me ? steffy : no . you know , i 'm always gon na care about wyatt . i hope you 're okay with that . liam : of course i am . it 's what makes you you . i love my brother , too . but after today , he made me respect him a whole lot more . i mean , i know what you mean to him , and yet still he stepped up and he did the right thing , and i ... i 'm gon na have to thank him for that . quinn : [ sighs ] this is on me . steffy was committed to you till you could n't make me disappear . wyatt : if steffy and i were meant to be together , then we should have been able to work around you . and do n't blame yourself , okay ? you had every right to defend your happiness . i did n't know exactly what you were fighting for so hard at the time , but you guys have a real committed relationship , and -- and it 's rare and special and ... great . quinn : thank you for that , sweetheart . wyatt : oh , and thank you for showing me what a real committed marriage looks like . you 're an inspiration . eric : exactly what your mother is to me every day . wyatt : eric , your -- your support for me , encouraging me , inviting me into your home and treating me like your own son , that just -- it meant the world to me . eric : you filled a void in my life . you gave me something to be proud of . quinn : why is this starting to feel like a goodbye ? wyatt : well , it 's been swell living here . but it 's time that i , uh , get back to my whole life . you guys have given me a great benchmark , a starting - off point . i realize what i want in a real relationship . just how truly committed you two are for each other , it 's great . eric : if you find half of what i 've found with your mother , you 'll be a lucky man . i 've been really happy to have you here . i 'm sorry to see you go , but we understand . do n't we , darling ? quinn : of course we do . go get your life . and have a good one . come on . aww . wyatt : aww . quinn : i love you . wyatt : i love you , too . thank you . eric : goodbye . wyatt : all right . [ sighs ] [ door opens ] ridge : i was prepared to watch quinn fall at the symposium and enjoy every minute of it . rick : yeah , but she did n't . ridge : no , she did not . pam : she sure is one resourceful woman . nicole : got to admire that . ridge : and here 's the other thing . her relationship with my dad , it 's a tough one for me , but she brings out the best in him . she just helps him mellow out . so maybe it 's my turn to be a little more mellow myself , find some peace around here . peace . devoutly to be wished . eric : he 's gon na be fine , you know . quinn : i 'm just so worried about him . eric : wyatt 's a pragmatist . he has a very strong -- very strong sense of self- worth . he knows how and when to take care of himself . he does . quinn : you think that 's what he 's doing ? eric : yes . and with a great deal of grace , too . i 'm proud of him . quinn : well , welcome to my world , 'cause there is nothing that i am more proud of than my son . except for being your wife , of course . it means so much to me how you 've accepted him and supported him . you embraced both of us . i 've learned so much from you . eric : like what ? quinn : like how to be a decent human being . how to see the good in people and their ability to change . which brings me to something else that i 've been thinking about . do you think maybe we 've been too hard on ridge ? eric : on ridge ? quinn : taking the c.e.o . position away from him and giving it to steffy . maybe we were a little harsh and disrespectful . eric : i 'm shocked that you would even bring this up . steffy : you know what i missed ? liam : hmm ? steffy : our daily struggle to get out of bed . liam : [ chuckles ] we are so bad , steffy . like , we would stay there all day if we could . steffy : uh , we have . liam : well , more of that , please . steffy : as much as you can stand . close second ? liam : yeah ? steffy : falling asleep in your arms . liam : oh , well , you can do that now . steffy : yep . i 'm home . i 'm all yours . liam : see , now , you keep saying that . but ... welcome home . quinn : i know . it 's strange , me suggesting that we 've been unfair to ridge . eric : i ca n't forget the things he 's done , the way he 's betrayed me , the way he 's hurt us both . quinn : i know , and i am never going to forget that , either . but i hate seeing the two of you at odds with each other because of me . and i know that he loves you . one of the things i learned about ridge when we were on our trip is ... underneath all that bluster , he 's a sensitive guy . and maybe that 's the reason for the bluster . you know , maybe that 's just a layer of protection he puts on for himself . eric : that 's very perceptive of you . i 'm glad you see that about him . quinn : well , i know a thing or two about building walls . the thing is , i think , in ridge 's mind , he felt hurt and betrayed , as well . and i 'm not saying it 's right , but , i mean , to ridge , he was thinking that he needed to save you . eric : from the woman i love . quinn : well , he thought his father was in danger , and he took action . and if you think about it , that -- that makes him a really good son . wyatt would do the same thing for me if he thought that i was in trouble . he would do anything to protect me and think about the consequences later . and the point is , ridge and i have been able to move past this , especially at work , and -- and i was hoping that maybe we can do the same thing as a family . eric : you have any suggestions about how we might be able to accomplish this lofty goal ? quinn : well , i thought maybe we could approach steffy about her sharing the c.e.o . position with ridge . eric : you 're serious ? quinn : it 's the best of both worlds . ridge 's experience and steffy 's edge , plus her media presence . it 's a win / win for everybody . eric : i ca n't believe you 're suggesting this . quinn : i want to be a source of peace and good for this family . and i want to bring you and ridge closer together . i feel like i owe this to ridge . just think about it , okay ?

massimo : well , i 'm off to work . jackie : massimo , wait . i want to apologize to you about last night . i just did n't -- i did n't mean to upset you . massimo : it was oscar 's engagement party . i was wrong to make such a scene . but when i saw eric forrester fawning all over you -- jackie : we talked about that . massimo : yes . and you said that you were gon na stay away from him . jackie : all i was doing was explaining my decision to step down as fenmore 's forrester rep . that 's all . and , quite frankly , he did n't take it very well . massimo : obviously . jackie : he thinks that i 'm sacrificing too much . he thinks that , well -- massimo : sweetheart , you offered to quit that job . jackie : well , i know , but that was just to make you comfortable . because you did n't want me working with eric . but the more that i think about it , massimo , i -- look , i 'm not siding with eric . but i ca n't quit my job . announcer : the role of `` bridget forrester `` is now being played by emily harrison . oscar : cream and sugar , right ? bridget : i do n't want to make you late for work . oscar : what are you talking about ? i 've got plenty of time . all right . seriously , i 'm glad you came by . bridget : how was your night ? oscar : my night ? my night was quiet . very quiet . especially after the party . bridget : i 'll bet . oscar : yeah . was n't quite the celebration you were hoping for , huh ? bridget : god , i still ca n't believe what happened between dad and massimo . oscar : yeah , i know . i know , that was -- what do you call it -- ? intense . bridget : it was appalling . oscar : really ? you think that ? 'cause i was n't quite sure if i should bring it up or not . bridget : i mean , seriously , what was he thinking ? making a scene like that ? accusing my father of hitting on his wife ? oscar : whoa , whoa , whoa , wait a minute . time out . are you saying you think this is massimo 's fault ? bridget : well , you 're not ? oz , he went ballistic . oscar : he was provoked . bridget : provoked ? oscar : yeah , i mean , how else is the guy gon na react ? i mean , maybe i would n't have done it with quite so much vigor , but i can understand how somebody might get a little upset if some guy is hitting on his wife . bridget : okay , my dad was n't hitting on jackie . so , you can just take that back . thomas : should you be drinking coffee around the fabric ? caitlin : it 's treated with belief . thomas : right . caitlin : can i help you ? thomas : i 'm looking for eric forrester . caitlin : i have n't seen him . thomas : are you a model ? caitlin : i 'm an intern . thomas : hey , i 'm thinkin ' of doing that , too . caitlin : oh , well , you should . this is a great place to work . thomas : so i 've heard . caitlin : would you like me to show you around ? thomas : show me around ? caitlin : yeah . thomas : you do n't know who i am . caitlin : oh , well , i do n't really know who anyone is around here yet . but i 'm getting a pretty good sense of the place . do n't worry , once you 're on the inside , things get pretty relaxed . it 's the same way with mr. forrester . i mean , i thought he would be really intimidating . but he 's not . he 's just really laid back and sincere . if you get the job here , i think you 're really gon na like it . thomas : oh , yeah . i 've got my fingers crossed . oscar : your dad cornered jackie on the terrace . bridget : he did not corner her . and he 's not coming on to her . oscar : that 's not the way massimo sees it . bridget : okay , but massimo is pathologically jealous . my dad and jackie are friends . oscar : maybe . bridget : no , it 's true . oscar : fine , i do n't even know . i 'm just going by what massimo says , all right ? bridget : yeah , but massimo is n't thinking . and neither are you . oscar : okay , wait , wait , wait -- just wait . i 'm not trying to be a jerk here , all right ? i just -- whatever , i understand you love your father , okay ? bridget : yeah , but he would n't interfere with massimo 's marriage . he 's not like that . he 's not . oscar : wait , wait . what are we doing ? bridget : well , you 're insulting my father . oscar : yes , i am . i 'm sorry . we 're doing exactly whet we said we would n't do . bridget : i know , we 're arguing . oscar : about our families . this is between massimo and your dad . it has nothing to do with us . bridget : right , but it does if we start taking sides . oscar : i understand you really want to defend your father . bridget : yeah , he would n't want us fighting about this . oscar : neither would massimo . bridget : i told you this could get complicated . oscar : yeah , you 're right , it could . but let me make it really simple . i love you , bridget . i 'm not gon na let anything come between us . okay ? massimo : your job is more important than our marriage ? jackie : it is n't an either - or situation . massimo : but i thought the decision was made . jackie : that you do n't want me working with eric . massimo : jacqueline , i do not trust the man . and after last night , i have every right not to . jackie : this is n't about eric . i 'm talking about my career . i mean , do you know how hard i have worked to get to where i am ? i started as a fenmore 's shop girl . and i 've worked my way up to the west coast buyer and forrester creations happens to be one of our most lucrative clients . i mean , how am i going to explain , massimo , that i refuse to go back to work for them ? massimo : i will get you a job at logan designs . jackie : oh , i do n't want you to get me a job . you 're my husband . your job is to give me love , this house , this wonderful life . you 've given me all of that . there are some things i have to do for myself . i 've worked so hard to build my reputation , to get people to trust me , to get respect . and it 's so important to me . massimo : fine . fine . all right ? if it means that much to you . jackie : i 'm not just doing this for me . massimo : oh , i 'm sure eric will be thrilled . jackie : i 'm doing this for us . for our marriage . massimo : i do n't see how . jackie : you want me to be happy ? massimo : are n't you ? jackie : well , i wo n't be . not if i have to give this up , i wo n't be . i have worked so hard . ca n't you understand that i have pride in my work ? you could understand that . in fact , that 's probably one of the few things that you and eric actually have in common . darling , i love you . i love you . you 're my husband . massimo : and i love you . too much to watch you walk into that man 's clutches . jackie : please , can we just not do this anymore ? let it go . massimo : i did that once . i took the word of a man i did not trust . so did you . and we were deceived . and i lost you . jacqueline , the thought of that happening again -- jackie : it wo n't , it wo n't . massimo : you say that with such certainty . jackie : yes , because i know it in my heart . massimo : i want you to know what is in my heart . understand -- i love you . and you 're the reason for everything i do . you 're my inspiration . you give my life meaning . so , i guess , it 's only right to return the favor . jackie : is that a yes ? you 're not gon na fight me ? thomas : i 'm thomas , by the way . caitlin : oh , hi . caitlin . nice to meet you . thomas : so what do they have you doing here at forrester ? caitlin : receiving . all the fabric 's coming in for the new collection . thomas : bummer , getting stuck in receiving . caitlin : no , no . this is the heart of forrester creations -- the sewing room , cutting , patterns . this is where mr. forrester 's creations come to life . thomas : you make him sound like a mad scientist . caitlin : he 's a genius . i mean , what he 's done for high fashion . melding european sophistication with american glamour . i mean , he practically created the west coast elegance . and now that he 's back as ceo , he 's going to re- establish forrester as the number one name in american fashion . thomas : wow . you know a lot about this stuff . you want to be a designer ? caitlin : someday . what about you ? thomas : i am going to run a company with my name on the door . caitlin : oh , well , then you came to the right place . get a job here , and you can learn from the best . deacon : eric , you know , you do n't have to do that right now . i mean , i know you 're busy . you 've got a lot on your mind -- with everything that happened at bridget 's party . you must be kinda concerned . eric : about ? deacon : your daughter is marrying a marone . i mean , that comes with a bit of a price tag , do n't you think ? i mean -- look , whatever you think about me personally , i 'd be lying if i did n't tell you that i 'm a little concerned about your daughter getting mixed up in the middle of all that . eric , if you would just give me the slightest bit of support , i could give oscar a run for his money . eric : you want my support ? deacon : look , i know how much bridget respects your opinion . she respects you . if you could just give me the thumbs up , i could -- eric : why would i do that , deacon ? deacon : oh , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i thought that you were concerned about the fact that your daughter is about to marry oscar marone . eric : well , i 'd be a lot more concerned if she was involved with you . deacon : eric , i care about your daughter . eric : so do i . and that 's why you 're working here . but i would break every promise i ever made to her to keep you out of her life . deacon : okay , well , listen , do n't -- do n't hold anything inside . do n't beat around the bush . eric : all right , just stop it , you stop it ! you 've caused my daughter too much pain already . and bridget has a bright future . and i 'm gon na do everything i possibly can to be sure that you 're not in it . massimo : i certainly hope that lauren fenmore appreciates your loyalty . jackie : i 'm loyal to you , too . never doubt that . massimo : i 'm sorry if you think i did . jackie : massimo , i think you should save your apologies for oscar and bridget . massimo : well , we did make a mess out of their evening , did n't we ? jackie : we ? massimo : well , you knew how i would react seeing you talk to eric . jackie : oh , gosh . here i was about to forgive you . massimo : if i support your decision to stay on at fenmore 's . jackie : it would be so nice to know that you 're behind me . massimo : well , you 're gon na do it regardless . but , you know , i have a great idea . jackie : hmm ? massimo : i could buy fenmore department stores , and then i could just fire you myself . jackie : oh , massimo , stop . you 're incorrigible . massimo : yes , i am . and i love you so damn much that if i feel threatened in any way , i just react . that 's the way i am . jackie : it 's a good job that you married a woman who knows how to keep those reactions in check . i 'm your wife , darling . i promise you , you 've got absolutely no reason to feel threatened , ever . bridget : nothing 's gon na come between us ? ozzy , something just did . oscar : so ? now we know what we 're up against . bridget : a lot more than we bargained for . oscar : yeah , that 's true . it 's not just nick and ridge , huh ? bridget : now my dad and massimo are going at it . oscar : well , it 's gon na be tough . but that does n't mean we have to let it get to us . bridget : we 're gon na disagree . oscar : yes ! yes . we 're definitely gon na disagree sometimes . and you know what ? sometimes we 're actually gon na fight about it , too , because people do that . but it does n't mean we have to let it escalate and get crazy about it , because all we have to do is just remember that we love each other . jackie : that 's a good idea . massimo and i , we 've just come to the very , very same agreement . caitlin : could you take those to thorne , in his office ? thank you . mr. forrester , hey , um , do you have a minute ? i have something really important that i need to talk to you about . caitlin : i know you 're very busy , and i hate to bother you , but i would just never forgive myself if i did n't at least ask . eric : is it something about the inventory ? caitlin : oh , no , sir . it 's a personal question . eric : for me ? caitlin : oh , for my class . i wo n't be offended if you say no . eric : well , i ca n't say anything if you do n't say something . caitlin : that 's exactly what i was thinking . eric : all right , let 's -- let 's go outside . it 's a little quieter out there . caitlin : okay . first of all , i want to say how excited i am to be working here at forrester . i mean , this is just such an exciting time . eric : well , it is . caitlin : and i would just love to get your insight on it . as part of my intern program , i 'm supposed to interview someone in my field . and since i want to be a designer , i was -- i know it 's a lot to ask , but i was wondering if i could interview you . eric : do you have your questions ready ? caitlin : oh , more than i could ask . eric : uh - huh . well , i do have -- i have a little time right now . caitlin : you 'll do it ? eric : well , nothing is as good for the soul as a little blatant self- promotion . i tell you what -- you go up to my office and wait for me . i have a few things to take care of , and then i 'll -- i 'll join you . go on , go on , go on , go on . caitlin : thank you . deacon : `` why would i give you my support ? `` bridget wants nothing to do if that 's what the guy 's saying to my face , what the hell 's he saying behind my back ? i must be out of my tree giving this guy the benefit of the doubt . first he runs me over , then he shoots me . what the hell am i thinking here ? eric , come on , eric . [ deacon chuckles ] bingo . `` eric forrester personal taxes . `` well , i 'm gon na guess that would be helpful . oh , this is good . now , if i did n't know better , i would say that that looks just like the new mrs. marone . you naughty little boy , eric . you like to doodle . caitlin : oh , mr. forrester , there you are . eric : i 'm sorry . i had to stop and get these sketches . caitlin : i did n't want to go in without your permission . eric : no , it 's okay . we never lock the doors here at forrester . that 's one of the best things about it . being a family business , we all trust one another . bridget : you and massimo made up ? jackie : yes , and i hope you have , too . oscar : it 's nothing that a little apology could n't fix . jackie : oh , speaking of which , massimo , he wants to make one to you . oscar : you know what ? maybe it 's better that we just forget about it . bridget : yeah , this whole situation just got out of control . jackie : yes , it did , but it wo n't happen again . bridget : massimo and dad ca n't avoid each other forever . oscar : yeah , they 're gon na have to see each other eventually , like , you know , at our wedding . jackie : well , i guarantee you , by that time , this entire family is going to be getting along . [ phone rings ] massimo : marone . deacon : massimo , its deacon . i 've got something for you . massimo : i 'm not it ' interested deacon : what the hell are you talking about ? i just stole it from eric 's office . massimo : then put it back . deacon : wait a second . you told me to dig something up . i dug it up . massimo : right , and now i do n't want it . deacon : so , you 've changed your mind ? massimo : i had a conversation this morning with jacqueline . and for her sake , i am ending this vendetta . deacon : massimo , this is a big mistake . massimo : i trust my wife . deacon : uh , yeah , well , you know what ? i trust my kid not to play with matches , but , gosh , i 'm just not gon na let him lose in a fireworks factory . massimo : what do you mean ? deacon : listen to me . this is no time to let your guard down . i 've got -- i 've got eric 's private tax records , massimo . and besides that , i 've got proof that he 's after your wife . massimo : proof ? deacon : massimo , i saw a sketch with jackie 's face on it . the guy 's fantasizing about your wife . he does n't give a damn who sees it , either . massimo : see , i warned her . deacon : somebody 's got ta stop him . massimo : do n't worry , mr. sharpe . i will . i will . | jackie told massimo she only offered to quit her job because he was uncomfortable . she tried to explain how important her job is to her . he tried to explain why he is perhaps too possessive . he was afraid to lose her again like in the past . |

( sighs ) it 's easier for me than it is for him . you see , dad had something to prove -- that he was n't finished , that he was n't washed up . now i feel like i 've got something to prove . i 've got ta prove that he can do it again . i feel like i 've got ta be his inspiration now . brooke : and you will be . you will be his inspiration , and i 'll be yours . ridge : oh , logan . eric : you gave my designs to nick and jackie ? [ scene_break ] rick : i did , yes . eric : all right , who -- who -- you 're the president of this company , rick . you do n't have to protect anybody . who are you covering for ? rick : i 'm not covering for anybody , dad . i - i 'm telling you the truth . it was me . rick : i e - mailed the entire collection to jackie m. designs , and do you want to know why ? because of stephanie , thorne , felicia , ridge . it became apparent to me over the past couple months , dad , that i would never be truly accepted as the president of this company . i had the title , yeah , sure , but it did n't mean anything . i never earned it . i manipulated you . i guilted you into giving it to me , and it was a joke to our family . it was a gift from a father to a very spoiled son , and i was mocked for it . you were mocked for it , and i could n't take it anymore . now , look , there are other contributing factors to this . i really do n't want to get into those . the -- the bottom line is i cut a deal with nick marone . i would give him forrester 's latest collection in exchange for a job of respect at a company that would appreciate my services . i want a future in my career , dad . that 's something that i would never have here . eric : i 'm your father . eric : you did this to your father ? rick : ( sighs ) eric : you gave my collection to them ? rick : yeah . dad , you 'll never know how sorry i am for this . eric : ( sighs ) you 're sorry ? eric : ( inhales deeply ) ( sighs ) you committed a crime . you committed a crime against me and -- and against our family . and you did this why ? rick : ( sighs ) eric : you did this , uh , for respect ? what are you ? what are you , 11 ? i look at you , i do n't even know who you are . who the -- i do n't even know you anymore . i do n't -- i do n't know who you are . who are you ? i do know one thing , though . i know that you 're living in the shadow of your brother , and i think i know why . eric : because you 're nothing compared to him . you never will be . eric : you are no ridge forrester . | steffy wo n't listen , not even when rick says he did this for their future . he took the designs and sent them to jackie m. they have nothing to worry about , this is a perfect plan . they will turn jackie m into a first rate fashion house and they can run it and be who they want to be . she sees his love for her is just a chance to tear down her family . his scheme did n't help them , it destroyed them . now her father will know about their relationship and it will tear him apart , something she never wanted . rick had no right to think she would go along with this sick idea . nothing good will come of it . all he can do now is come clean . rick promises he will go tell his dad right now if that is what she wants . just please do n't say that there is no more `` us `` . jackie exclaims to nick and clarke that they are a big hit . there will be no repercussions . he reminds her it is not only being sued they have to worry about , but how things sit with katie . nick is not at all sure that katie will see it the way jackie does . katie tells brooke that she is not sure how she can even go home tonight and face nick . she 's not sure about the marriage anymore either . eric tells ridge this really hurts . ridge states they have to find out who the culprit is . |
donna : no , thorne . katie specified she wanted this fabric . thorne : ( sighs ) our distributors do n't carry this fabric . donna : well , uh , find somebody who does . thorne : ( scoffs ) katie : do you think it 's a little conservative ? eric : well , obviously , it does n't matter what i think . katie : eric , please . do n't get upset . i ... ( sighs ) it 's -- it 's not bad . i just -- we 're trying to go for something younger . eric : you 've shown a lot of tenacity and character sticking by forrester when your brother and your sister and your mother could n't . they all abandoned ship . i think maybe the transition 's already begun . ridge : what transition would that be ? eric : to you taking over for me . [ scene_break ] whip : i tell you . it 's a big risk building an entire collection around an unknown like hope . stephanie : so you 're not impressed either ? whip : well , there 's innovation , and then there 's recklessness . besides , there 's a lot more at stake than just forrester 's reputation . [ scene_break ] katie : oh , good . everyone 's here . steffy : we 've been here for a while now . katie : well , i hope you 've put your time to good use . hope : oh , well , we wanted to wait for you . we did n't want to start without you . katie : this is your campaign . if you have an idea , you and your team should run with it . brooke : steffy was just telling us about her script for her promo . katie : let 's see it . steffy : this is just a first draft . donna : ( clears throat ) katie : why do n't you take another pass at that ? steffy : oh , well , i have other ideas . i can go get them . ridge : ( whispering ) hey , what are you doin ' here ? taylor : ( whispering ) oh , i was checking on you , but i - i think steffy needs a little more support than you right now . katie : look , i know i 'm asking a lot . we do n't have a lot of time to put this campaign together , but that 's no excuse to do shoddy work , right ? i think we all have to step up our game . [ scene_break ] whip : every man has his limits , stephanie . i 'm sure ridge is reaching his . stephanie : oh , i do n't know . when it comes to those logan girls , the forrester men do n't seem to have any limits . whip : yeah , ridge and brooke have definitely had their share of marriages , which begs the question -- how many times have they been divorced ? [ scene_break ] katie : look , i know you can do better . you have to . we all have to . i ca n't stress this enough . this campaign has got to be perfect . we are creating every girl 's fantasy here , we 're -- every girl 's dream come true . i - if any part of this campaign falls flat , we can cross that from fantasy into farce , and i am not going to allow hope to be part of something like that . this has got to be huge . this is hope for the future ' by hope logan . ridge : if i ca n't take care of my children , if i ca n't support my family , then none of this means anything . it 's just pointless . katie : the logan name is what sets us apart . it 's our hook . last time , steffy , you did the voiceover for the campaign . i think this time around , we 're gon na use hope 's voice . steffy : wait , you -- you want me to write the script , but you do n't want me to read it ? donna : well , your voice is tied to hollywood glamour . brooke : uh , steffy , you said you had another copy somewhere ? why do n't just all take a break and -- and you could go find it . hope : oh , i 'll go with . i 'm parched . brooke : oh , hope , hold on . steffy , would you mind bringing something back to drink for hope ? thanks . steffy : sure . [ scene_break ] katie : we 're in a good place . everything 's coming together . donna : well , i talked to thorne , and he 's hunting down the fabric . katie : great . brooke : steffy 's going to spruce up her copy . hope : oh , wow , this is all really happening . brooke : thanks to you and your incredible idea . katie : well , execution is the key . we need everyone 's best efforts . brooke : steffy will come around . so will your dad . hope : hmm . brooke : and that 's what this campaign is all about . it 's -- it 's looking forward . it 's getting past the conflicts and the resentments and creating a great future for all of our families , for all of us . and that 's what hope for the future ' is all about . it gives us a singular purpose , something that we all care about . we 're gon na make this company great again . we are . katie : ( chuckles ) donna : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] ridge : i do n't give a damn about this company anymore . thomas : oh , do n't say that . taylor : you can not give up on your legacy . that is not the answer . ridge : i 'm beginning to think there is n't an answer here . taylor : no , ridge , there is always an answer . it may not be an easy one or one you want to hear . ridge : look , no matter what i do , someone i love is bound to get hurt . taylor : and yet you said that something has to be done . ridge : it 's katie . she 's got way too much power here . as long as she 's in charge , this situation 's is gon na get worse . there 's got to be some way to get her out of that office . [ scene_break ] whip : i 'm not advocating a breakup . stephanie : of course not . you 're dating taylor . whip : well , she does deserve to be more than her ex - husband 's port in a storm . stephanie : their children are caught up in all of this as well . whip : come on , stephanie . children -- they 're not babies . besides , my only concern is taylor , which , you have to admit , has never been something that your son could say . stephanie : even so , those two are always going to have feelings for one another . but i think you sense that , or we would n't be having this conversation . whip : actually , the , uh , the reason that we are having this conversation is ... stephanie : a dress ? whip : this . well , not just any dress , but the dress . bridget did an amazing job , did n't she ? stephanie : you had this designed for taylor ? whip : i know . i know what you 're thinking -- just what she needs , another gown , right ? but i guarantee you . she does not have one like this , not one that 's been inspired by her -- by her beauty . you know . i mean , look . the blue of her eyes , the -- the line of her hair . i mean , it 's definitely everything that i see and i feel when i look at her . it 's all there . [ scene_break ] taylor : i had told myself i was n't going to say anything , but ... ridge : go ahead . taylor : well , it 's ... ( sighs ) it 's just that you called me last night , and -- and you told me that you could n't even go in your own house because katie and donna were there , and , well , i 've just been wondering if you 've talked to brooke about it . ridge : it 's all we seem to talk about nowadays . she says the right things . i say the right things . i keep telling myself that things are gon na get better , that i 'll get over it . i walk through the halls , doc , and all i can think is , what the hell am i doing here ? this used to be my -- my refuge . whatever 's going on in my life , i could come here , and the troubles would kind of melt away . ( sighs ) now when i come here , like today , you know what i feel ? dread . what if i ca n't stop feeling that way ? taylor : well , something will have to change . ( cell phone beeps ) taylor : oh , hold on . i 've got a text . ridge : is it one of the kids ? taylor : no , it 's whip . he -- he wants to see me right now . ridge : so it 's true . you 're , uh ... you 're really dating him . taylor : yeah . i - i think he 's really good for me . he 's very warm . he 's very funny . and , um , he 's very appreciative , and i think it is good for me . a lady needs that . ridge : well , you better get going then . stay around here , you 'd just get upset . you do n't need that . taylor : neither do you . ridge : no .

( door closes ) ridge : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : and we 're absolutely sure that this is the right thing to do ? katie : ( sighs ) brooke : i know i 've been questioning a lot . katie : are you losing faith in your daughter ? brooke : no , it 's just that she 's young , and she has no experience . there 's a lot resting on her shoulders . i do n't want to push her too far too fast . katie : so this concern -- it 's all about hope . brooke : well , i do have a lot riding on this personally . katie : ( sighs ) so do i ! i mean , come on . if this campaign fails , hope is gon na get some bad publicity . she 's not gon na get the blame . i will . donna : i think katie is saying that she thinks hope can handle this . katie : we have to stop asking if she 's ready . she 's eager . she wants this . she wants to stand up , take charge and show the world our next generation . she is so much like you , brooke . her energy , her vitality -- she is the perfect person to carry on your tradition at forrester . i truly believe that your daughter can do this for us .

( sighs ) i have a problem . and i know i can fix it . i know i can quit , but it 's not because i 'm a big , strong man . it 's because i 'm a dad . it 's because i 'm a son , because i 'm a friend . and i know i have to stick around for a long time to make sure you guys stay out of trouble . stephanie : ( chuckles ) jackie : oh . [ scene_break ] brooke : the line is n't my number one concern right now . thomas : well , it is mine . the men 's line is everything to me , and i do n't want anything to jeopardize that . brooke : like telling your father about that kiss ? thomas : look , i know it 's a lot to ask . brooke : keeping things from my husband is wrong , and keeping a secret about his son is even worse . thomas : yes , i 'd agree if there was some sort of fallout , but there is n't . it happened . i apologized . it 's -- it 's over . i mean , telling dad now would just take us backward . i - i 'm ready to put this behind us , are n't you ? brooke : yes . thomas : okay . then let 's do that . brooke : ( sighs ) thomas : please ? ( chuckles ) pretty please ? brooke : ( sighs ) oh , thomas . you are an amazing young man , and i admire you and respect you and appreciate you , but if my admiration has been misconstrued ... i mean , if i 've done anything to confuse you in any way -- thomas : no , you have n't . brooke : i know the taboo line makes fun of that . i mean , it plays on my history and teases the possibilities , but ... ( sighs ) i mean , i want to spend time with you , and i want to work with you , but you are my husband 's son , and that line can not be crossed . thomas : i know . it has n't . brooke : you have an amazing future ahead of you , so many adventures and possibilities , and i want to be there to see that and support you all the way . i just do n't want to be a distraction . i do n't want to hold you back . thomas : okay , then just keep doing what you 're doing , brooke . 'cause you 've been nothing but great for me . never doubt that . | brooke tells thomas that she has n't said anything about the kiss to his father , but she is beginning to think perhaps she should . he sees no reason for concern or to make his dad paranoid and freaked out . he tells brooke that he is not going to keep apologizing for the kiss . he was on a high , had a few drinks and suffering from jetlag , and was finally getting the respect he wanted . they are interrupted by madison who is livid at thomas for having a date that night with summer . he convinces her that their last kiss did mean something , but he is so wrapped up in his work that he has no time for an exclusive relationship . brooke seems pleased to hear that he is interested in madison and wants their dating relationship to continue . |

[ cheers and applause ] [ knock on door ] eric : so what do you think , sally ? is it fabulous ? sally : it 's beautiful , eric . the entire collection is absolutely outstanding . eric : well , this is so wonderful . i can not tell you how happy i am that you 're here to share this with me . there you are . cheers . [ glasses clink ] eric : it was really fun being sally 's friend . it was really fun being sally 's enemy . katie : whatever happened to sally ? is she still , um , with us ? eric : sally will live forever . katie : hmm . eric : the last we heard of her , she was sipping a drink out of a coconut , sunning herself on some tropical island , being tended to by hot and cold running cabana boys . katie : [ laughs ] i wonder what she would have thought of quinn . do you think they would have been friends or enemies ? eric : i think sally 's biggest talent was recognizing talent . quinn -- quinn has that talent , too . just last night she suggested to me , despite their differences , that i consider promoting ridge back to the top executive level of our company . katie : huh . quinn : i assume you know wyatt and steffy received their final divorce papers . ridge : ah , yes . the dreaded fl-190 . quinn : [ chuckles ] i bet you have a wall in your study just papered with them . ridge : well ... quinn : [ chuckles ] actually , i 'm really upset about this 'cause i - i really liked them together . which was part of my zeal to keep them together , which is why i went to your father to urge him to offer steffy the c.e.o . position . ridge : and there it is . you finally admit it . quinn : i do n't think i ever really kept it a secret . not that she is n't immensely capable and doing a very fine job . but i may have inadvertently ... short - changed a more ... experienced leadership . which is why i - i went to your father last night , and i asked him if he might consider having you share c.e.o . responsibilities with steffy . did i overstep ? steffy : would you rather have quinn 's name on the door ? because she would be c.e.o . right now if i turned the position down . thomas : no , she would n't . granddad would have offered it to dad , rick , or even thorne . steffy : you do n't think i asked those questions before i said yes ? thorne has a life outside of this building , and rick is running international . he also has a baby . rick would just whine about it if dad got the job . thomas : and why did n't dad get the job ? i mean , he is our signature designer . and despite your gazillion followers , he 's still got a higher profile than any of us . steffy : that may be true . but it 's for granddad to name a successor , and he feels betrayed by dad . they say time heals all wounds , but i do n't know about this one . [ birds chirping ] katie : so quinn suggested replacing steffy with ridge ? eric : no , not replacing . actually , uh , having them share the c.e.o . duties . katie : how would that work ? eric : well , i guess however they want it to , really , unless steffy balks at the idea altogether . it has n't been figured out yet . it 's just -- it 's not even a plan yet . katie : well , i , uh , i would have thought that quinn would be more likely to suggest that ridge gets buried alive . eric : [ chuckles ] and you thought -- see , you thought i was crazy , suggesting they go to that symposium together in san francisco . but i think they 've come to the realization they can actually work together . ridge : share the c.e.o . duties with my daughter ? quinn : why not ? ridge : you talked to my dad about that ? quinn : mm - hmm . he gave me that ... `` i 'm thinking about it `` face . ridge : yeah , once you get that face , you should just stop talking altogether . quinn : exactly . ridge : but why would you do that ? why would you pitch the black sheep of the family ? you do n't even like me . quinn : i mind you a lot less these days . but fundamentally , i love my husband . and even though his health is improving , i 'm -- i 'm afraid for him to come back to the daily grind at forrester . and steffy 's a powerhouse , but she 's young , and i think our buyers and our long - time clientele might feel a little more reassured having a ... seasoned hand at the wheel . ridge : hmm . me and steffy running the place . yeah , you know what ? then you and dad , you could travel the world and know that this place is in good hands . quinn : yeah . yeah . well , this is my family , too . and i want good things for all of us . i want us all to get along . and i used to think that you were the most conceited man in the world . but now i know that you 're just second or third most . ridge : that is so sweet coming from the wicked witch of the west herself . quinn : ha . ridge : you got a nice smile . but i 'm surprised that this is how you handle steffy and wyatt ending their marriage . quinn : oh , i know , right ? i should be burning down the hall of records . ridge : something . quinn : [ laughs ] it was something you said to me about the kind of mother i want to be . and then you compared me to your mother . i do n't want wyatt remembering me as a mother who was overbearing . so ... i guess i have you to thank for that , too . thomas : so when you say that dad betrayed granddad , does that mean that he just would n't suck up to quinn or he was n't buying the whole `` brand - new me `` look ? steffy : why do n't you tell that to granddad and see where it gets you ? thomas : wow . steffy : what ? thomas : you 're just quite the politician , are n't you ? steffy : she 's a fact of life now . granddad 's more committed to quinn than ever . seeing that , if that makes me look like a traitor , then so be it , but i 'm thinking about the family , the forresters who have come before us and the forresters who will come after us . you know , i 'm not just keeping this company on even keel . i am showing so much more growth in comparison to our competitors . thomas : so that makes all of this okay ? steffy : make up your mind , thomas . you want to say that i took the job because i 'm an opportunist or that the job should have gone to you instead ? katie : oh , just , uh , throw it in the recycling . i read it this morning . eric : all right . thanks for bringing it . any excuse to get you to visit . katie : that 's sweet . i suppose you have some strategizing to do . i mean , would giving ridge authority over quinn cause a crisis ? would steffy really want to share the office ? eric : long flights are good for thinking . katie : i know he hurt you . but he 's still your son . eric : my family 's been very slow to forgive quinn for her past misdeeds . do i really want to do the same thing to them ? katie : safe travels , my friend . eric : thanks . bye . [ knock on door ] nicole : hey , where do you want these ? quinn : uh , what is it ? nicole : ivy finished a prototype of a necklace you wanted to see , and she told me to guard it with my life . quinn : oh .

[ door closes ] thomas : here 's the thing i do n't understand . and maybe you 'll make fun of me for saying it , but i 'll go ahead and say it anyways . i 'm dad 's firstborn son . why was i not the first choice ? i mean , granddad seemed to give dad the -- the option , and , uh , why not me ? steffy : first off , dad 's not his father . they 're two very different people . thomas : and then there 's the fact that quinn wanted her son to be the heir apparent , if -- if only by marriage . steffy : okay , quinn definitely played a part in getting me the c.e.o . position . but i have kept it on my own . we are finally in a drama - free workplace . i mean , we got christmas bonuses . no one 's had a problem with my leadership except you . thomas : do n't let me interrupt you from patting yourself on the back so vigorously , but you 've only been running the company for , what , a month ? steffy : oh , so you 're saying you could have done just as well ? well , you 're wrong . you want to know why ? because you 're not here . and that 's a recurrent theme with you . you 're in , you 're out . you lack consistency . hey , designers can be temperamental . c.e.o.s ca n't . [ door closes ] quinn : [ sighs ] this large stone and the small stones , they -- they should n't go together . ridge : but you knew they would . quinn : well , yeah . i mean , it 's the -- the mismatch , the antagonism . ridge : yeah , two misfits . but they fit perfectly , do n't they ? genoa city is cold this time of year . eric : do n't i know it . hi , ridge . ridge : hey . quinn told me you were going . what 's up ? eric : lauren fenmore called . uh , i 'm not sure what she wants . cross - marketing was mentioned . ridge : and you 're okay to fly , so ... eric : yes , my doctor okayed me to fly . ridge : and lauren 's always been a pull for you . eric : yeah . listen , when -- when i get back , let 's take some time to sit down together . what do you say ? ridge : i would love that . we have n't done that in a while . eric : no , i know . i know we have n't . ridge : have n't really had a chance to talk about anything in a while . eric : i may have been a little too harsh on you . ridge : i gave you a good reason . eric : yes , you did . ridge : this may have seemed like a power grab to you , but it was n't . i was trying to protect the family . i was trying to protect you . eric : i do n't like this . i do n't like this , you and me being estranged this way . i do n't want to be disapproving and distant . ridge : dad , you 've never been that , until i decided to save you from yourself . i get a little obnoxious sometimes . maybe we can blame that on mom 's side of the family . eric : nah , i ca n't blame her for everything . listen , when i get back , let 's reassess your position at the company . ridge : okay . eric : it might be time for us to find a more appropriate position for you on the leadership team . ridge : that 's a conversation i would like to have . eric : you can thank quinn for that . ridge : hey , dad . there 's something you should know . with everything else , you -- you are the one person in the world that i respect and love more than anybody else . have a safe trip . eric : i 'll see you when i get back . [ door closes ] ridge : [ sighs ] | clearly things are not all that great with thomas as he makes a snarky remark to steffy about him being passed over for ceo . he wonders if his name was even mentioned when it was handed out . steffy says she earned the position as her grandfather gave it to her . and if it had not been her , then it would be quinn . the foresters came before them and they will after them . katie stops by to return something to eric and he tells her the old district where sally used to work is being razed . the last he heard of sally she was lolling around , sipping rum out of her coconut attended to by hot and cold cabana boys . quinn speaks with ridge and says she hopes she did not overstep but she went to eric last night and wants to offer the company more experience by naming him a co- ceo . he wonders why she would do that . she says she minds him a lot less these days . eric 's health is improving but she is afraid of him coming back to work so she would like another seasoned hand at the wheel . she wants them all to get along . she used to think he was the most conceited man in the world . now maybe that is only the second or third . she mentions wyatt . she does not want him to remember her as the mother who was overbearing so she is willing to be better too . |

[ scene_break ] thorne : that 's your game , is n't it ? bringing up my mistakes , over and over . just preying on macy 's insecurities , her fears , huh ? lorenzo : i do n't have a game , thorne . [ thorne scoffs ] thorne : she was n't ready to get married . she almost left you that day in portofino . lorenzo : is that what you 've been telling yourself ? thorne : you scared her into leaving with you . telling her that i would ruin her life . and then you pressured her into a wedding . she was clinging to you because you were all that she had left . lorenzo : so in your version , macy 's a victim . rapunzel locked in the tower . thorne : not anymore .

[ sighs ] i do n't -- i do n't rem -- i do n't ... quinn : yeah , yeah , yeah . of course you do n't . you do n't , you know . you were on another planet . you were , like , on planet dreamland . i was scared to leave you alone . you know , i 'm not a doctor , but i kind of have a scientific kind of mind -- and the internet . liam : it 's not enough -- quinn : hey , look -- liam : ... to say thank you , but , um ... thank you . quinn : you 're welcome . liam : is it kind of awkward ? quinn : [ chuckles ] how about we pretend like it is n't ? liam : i do n't even know your name . bill : this is , um , very ... thoughtful of you ? caroline : you know , mom has been working on that novel since i was in the eighth grade . bill : she been writing like a page a month ? i 'll send her flowers ... or a new socket set . i know she likes working on engines . how 's it going at forrester ? caroline : it 's quiet , partly in thanks to you . bill : i had nothing to do with liam 's departure . caroline : uh , so i hear . i 'm actually talking about you removing one of my biggest workplace stressors . look , i love her to death , but she 's always up in my business , especially when it comes to ridge , so i hope brooke is working out . bill : oh , yeah . katie loves having her at spencer . brooke : it was n't a lie , katie , i swear ! nothing happened between bill and me ! katie : what are you talking about ? it 's already done ! brooke : what are you talking about ? ! no , it 's not ! katie : yes , it is . you wanted intimacy with bill . you wanted a secret , so you tell him that you 're in love with him , and it cuts him off from me ! you know he would never tell me . it 's too hurtful , so he figures why put me through that ? and bill being bill , he thinks he can control you , and you love to let him think so . brooke : i 'm gon na go . katie : yes , you will . brooke : it was n't bill . it was me . i 'm the one who is guilty of not letting those feelings go , not putting them in the past . it was n't bill , katie ! katie : oh , i know . it 's really sad that you 're so lonely . brooke : [ sighs ] it was n't loneliness . please just call your doctor at the heart transplant center . katie : i already know what 's choking my heart . brooke : i found you on the floor . you need to call a doctor . katie : you ca n't possibly think that my husband is the love of your life . brooke : [ sighs ] if those words sound silly to you , it 's because they were n't intended for you ! katie : you 're only going after him because you think he 's gettable , right ? you ca n't go after ridge . he 's got beautiful caroline who 's carrying his child . so you think you have a chance with bill because i 'm your only competition -- plain , old me . the unpopular logan , the medical hardship case . brooke : nothing happened , katie . and nothing ever would as long as you and bill are together ! katie : oh , my god . that 's it . you think it 's worth the effort , because chances are ... i wo n't be around . brooke : [ exhales deeply ] steffy : i ca n't believe this is happening to us . i know you still love me . liam : that 's not the issue . steffy : well , it should be , because ultimately , that 's what matters . think about everything that we 've conquered ! we ca n't let this destroy us . i 'm gon na go home , and i 'm gon na wait for you to come home . we can give this another shot . wyatt : what ? steffy : you going somewhere ? wyatt : i thought i 'd give you some space . are you gon na be okay ? steffy : yeah , yeah , sure . wyatt : okay . look , i can say a lot of nice things about my brother . do you want me to do that ? steffy : no . wyatt : okay , good , 'cause i do n't want to , either . [ chuckles ] it 's probably not the last that you hear of him . he 's gon na reach out to you . he 's gon na want to make sure that you do n't think he 's the bad guy . and i 'm not criticizing him . it 's just the way he was built . and you probably know that . but ... whatever he says when you do hear from him , do n't let him take the steffy out of you . quinn : you 're teasing me now . liam : why would i do that ? i 'm just asking . you -- you said i passed out ? quinn : yeah , yeah , that 's -- that 's right . liam : and then i wake up and [ chuckles ] there 's this beautiful woman taking care of me ? wh -- what is your name ? quinn : stop . stop ! stop trying to make a fool out of me . liam : i 'm -- i 'm not trying to make a fool out of you . i 'm just -- quinn : you know who i am . liam : i would n't forget someone like you . quinn : no ? liam : did i ? quinn : [ sighs ] thirsty . you 're thirsty . of course you 're thirsty . i 'm gon na go -- i 'm gon na go get you a glass of water . liam : hey ! i did n't mean to offend you . quinn : you -- you did n't . do n't worry . it was ... my mistake entirely . he only knows what i tell him . [ sighs ] brooke : how can you say that ? katie : well , it 's the only thing that makes sense . you have n't given up on bill , because you do n't think you have to . i 'll be dead , and he 'll be lonely , and you 'll be there to comfort him . brooke : oh , my god . is that what you believe ? you honestly believe that i want you dead ? ! katie : well , what am i supposed to think ? i let you back into my life , because i believed all the tears and the begging for forgiveness ! i watched you struggle with liquor and loneliness ! and i thought , `` well , this is different . brooke 's alone . she must have really changed . `` and then i began to wonder if -- if this was penance , if maybe the reason you were making yourself so miserable is because of me . and then i made the fatal mistake of thinking i could rescue you . what a fool . i should have known that the minute i turned my back , you would betray me . brooke : okay . you 're not listening , so i 'm gon na go . katie : how could you ? ! brooke : katie ! katie ! katie : how could you ? ! brooke : stop ! stop ! [ both breathing heavily ] quinn : go easy on this . this is your second glass of water . i 'm not gon na run out of water . liam : oh , seriously ? just go away . and while you 're at it , keep your son away from steffy . liam : [ sighs ] oh , thank you . i feel like -- [ sighs ] i feel like i could sleep now . or am i sleeping too much ? quinn : i 'm gon na let you rest now . i 'm just gon na be in the other room , okay ? [ cell phone rings ] wyatt : where are you ? i know you 're not at the office , 'cause they keep texting me about you . quinn : yeah , well , i do n't have time for all those people when i have work to do that ca n't be interrupted . where are you ? wyatt : home . quinn : are you alone ? wyatt : no . quinn : wyatt , this is good , right ? wyatt : it could be , yes . quinn : you know that steffy is going to need you now because of what liam has put her through , right ? and you know that he 's gon na change his mind and he 's gon na come back for her . wyatt : i do n't know that at all . quinn : he always does . you have to get her ready to slam the door in his face . wyatt : okay , well , that 's not up to me , now is it ? quinn : are you two getting closer ? wyatt : yeah , well , it 's starting to feel real . quinn : okay , just remember , steffy 's heart is still fresh . she 's vulnerable to him . you ca n't take anything for granted . wyatt : okay , goodbye , mom . i 'm done . steffy : so , what 's going on with quinn ? wyatt : oh , you know , it 's more advice that i 'm gon na pretend to ignore and ... steffy : oh , yeah , okay . wyatt : ... probably end up taking . quinn : [ sighs ] bill : alison ? you know i hate brussels sprouts ! good ! caroline : you know , when ridge wants to do something romantic for me , he takes me somewhere like the beach or mulholland drive . bill : because he 's cheap ! look at that hovel he has you living in ! what ? does he think it 's a garret in paris ? caroline : you know what ? do not force me to get hormonal on you . i 'm sure that katie will love whatever it is you do for her . bill : yeah , of course , she will , because she 's the best . i do n't know why the hell she puts up with me . caroline : nobody does . bill : i just have to make sure she never regrets it . katie : go ! brooke : this is between you and me . bill did n't betray you , katie . you can even ask him . it was all me , i swear . you can cut me out of your life , but you ca n't tear your family apart ! you ca n't do that to bill ! you ca n't do that to your son ! katie : do you think you have any control over what i do and say next ? no . that 's not a word you 're used to hearing , is it , brooke ? no one ever tells you no . daddy never could . mom did n't want to . you had the looks , you had the body . you wanted clothes and -- and the spotlight and men . and who would ever think of turning you down ? and i sat back and watched , and i wondered if everything that people said about you was true , where you let those men put their hands , what you did for them , why there was such a constant demand for you . i heard the rumors of what people used to call you . i never thought any of them were true . women like that need to be paid . and now here you are asking to be paid ... in tears and love and forgiveness . but i 'm not buying . i 'm fresh out . so you move along . take your business elsewhere . [ sobs ] | katie looks up from the floor and chides brooke to just lie to her once again . it should not be that hard as she has done it before . brooke wants to get katie to a doctor . katie says no , her real disease is trusting brooke . brooke bends down to the floor and insists again that nothing happened , nobody crossed the line . katie argues back that she heard brooke say she loved bill so she must have wanted something . of course she meant it that it would never happen again as she believes everything that comes out of her mouth . she cries brooke does n't even realize when she is lying . she loves confiding in bill with her little secrets and knows he will not tell katie as it would hurt her . brooke tells her that it was she that held on to those feelings , not bill . katie accuses her of going after bill as he was gettable when ridge was n't , with a baby now with caroline . then she realizes that brooke thinks all she has to do is wait her turn until katie 's heart plays out and she is no longer here . she 's a medical hardship case . brooke must not think she has to give bill up so there is no competition . katie will be gone and bill will reach out and brooke will be there to comfort him . katie says that she should have known the minute she turned her back that brooke would betray her . they almost come to fists but brooke says she is going to leave since katie will not listen to her anyway . katie scoffs that she heard all the rumors but did not want to believe they were true . the things she did for the men . women like that should be paid and now here brooke is asking to be paid .in tears , in love and forgiveness . she sneers that she is not buying , so run along she can take her business elsewhere . brooke can not say a word , she slams the door when leaving . |

pam : mm , not that i know of , but you ca n't be too careful with her . do you know that she actually thinks that eric should give up eating sweet altogether ? katie : that 's crazy . pam : right ? that 's crazy . so if she catches me , i 'm just gon na pretend i 'm whipping up a kale salad . katie : ooh ! pam : but the real plan is to have a big , beautiful batch of fresh meyer lemon bars waiting for eric when he gets back from genoa city tomorrow . katie : well , that sounds like a great plan . pam : uh - huh . katie : did eric tell you his plan ? to make ridge co - c.e.o . ? pam : what ? ! katie : and , apparently , it was all quinn 's idea . quinn : not quite as good as your father makes them , but it 's drinkable . ridge : he 's better at some things , i 'm better at others . quinn : mm , that smile on your face -- is it because you and eric talked about the c.e.o . position ?

liam : yeah , i know . wyatt : when i found you , i wanted to save you . do n't doubt that for a second . i wanted to bring you back to your life . what i did n't factor in is that i was bringing you right back to steffy . and i just -- i loved her so much . i could n't let go of her . but i can now . i can do that . it 's time to be mature . be a man . i 'm gon na find a woman who does n't know your name 'cause i am so tired of playing second fiddle to you . it 's disgusting . liam : yeah . wyatt : i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na find a woman who does n't have a history with you , someone , you know ... she 's into me because i 'm me . liam : you deserve that . pam : no , no , katie . you must have misunderstood . there is no way on earth that quinn would want ridge to have any power at forrester creations . katie : well , that 's what eric said . pam : but -- [ laughs ] they despise each other ! [ sighs ] well , it 's a good thing you brought a lot of eggs 'cause now i got to make a cake for ridge to congratulate him . my baking list just got longer . quinn : if you end up sharing the title with steffy , you 're gon na have your father to thank for it , not me . ridge : all right . but you 're the one that put that idea in his head . quinn : only because i know he 's wanted a compromise like this all along . your father really respects you . ridge : as i do him . quinn : so what are you gon na say to steffy ? i ca n't imagine she 's gon na react very well . ridge : steffy 's gon na be fine . we love each other , we 're gon na do what 's best for the family and the company . make dad proud . if this happens , it 's all because of you . i 'm not gon na forget that .

( door closes ) ( door opens ) stephanie : you did this . there 's no doubt in my mind that you did this . you are responsible for what has happened , just as you are responsible for phoebe 's death . you sabotaged this company because you are filled with hate . you are consumed with hate . shame on you . shame on you that you could do something like this to a father who only loves you . in the end , he 's going to finally realize exactly what you are , and when he does , he 's going to be finished with you , as i am ... you little pissant . i will bring you down , believe me . believe me . | nick considers the deal . he can have eric 's entire forrester collection as his own , but not his son . nick is ticked when steffy walks onto the plane too . eric assures him that no one else knows . eric tells steffy that he is aware of what rick did and knows why he did it . he will take care of it . nick listens while rick says that he does want to stay with his family . nick shakes eric 's hand and says okay , it is a deal and the secret stays here with the four of them . bridget shares with jackie that she misses jack and it hurt to lose nick twice , but she is ready to get on with her life . jackie wishes her all that happiness she wants . stephanie tells ridge not to underestimate rick ; he is capable of doing most anything to ruin their lives . ridge can not figure out the motive though . eric puts his foot down and announces that there will be no investigation . jackie m has won the first round . they can keep the designs . jackie m will not get more publicity out of it if they do n't fight this . stephanie and ridge are aghast that he is willing to give up so easily . he is surely covering for someone . ridge guesses it is little rickie ! |

[ scene_break ] katie : i 'm not out to deliberately hurt steffy . she 's just not one of my favorite people . brooke : she kissed your husband . are you okay with that ? katie : no , i 'm not okay with it , but i 'm moving on . brooke : well , maybe you should . katie : should what ? brooke : you and bill are newlyweds . you should travel . you should spend some time together , enjoy yourselves and hand the company back over to the forresters . katie : bill 's not gon na sell . you know it . brooke : you talked to him about it at christmas . katie : that was before the forresters tried to stab him in the back . brooke : katie , they just want what is rightfully theirs . and this whole thing that 's going on with hope is even more of an insult . katie : so what are you gon na do ? you 're gon na pull her off the campaign because ridge got his feelings hurt ? brooke : no , but you ca n't run this company without so kind of consideration to ridge and his family . katie : i have given them a tremendous amount of consideration . where is their consideration for us ? brooke : they 're the ones that are heartsick . they lost their family legacy . katie : that 's bad economics . there 's nothing i can do about that . brooke : yes , you can . you can step down as c.e.o . and turn that position over to the person that should have had it in the first place -- ridge . [ scene_break ] sandy : so what is our plan ? nick : you know , the more i think about this , i should probably go alone . sandy : why ? you think he 's gon na clam up around me ? nick : no , i just think if he does have something to hide , if he sees you , if he recognizes you -- sandy : i mean , he could be dangerous . what are you gon na do ? nick : i 'm gon na try to get some evidence . d.n.a . is what we need . my problem is how am i gon na get it ?

[ scene_break ] ridge : i love hope the same way i love steffy . we may not share the same dna , but she 's still my daughter . if the press gets a hold of this , they 'll decimate hope . taylor : well , once again , an ill - thought - out plan by the logans . ridge : we 've raised hope to be one of us , protected her , tiptoed around her unfortunate past . taylor : well , now she does n't have any coping skills to handle this . just to be thrown out into the world and exposed to this , w - where possibly her entire past could be brought up ? ridge : i do n't believe she actually knows the whole story . taylor : well , if the press gets a hold of this , they will be brutal . ridge : she 's too young for this , taylor . she 's not ready for it . taylor : you do n't have to convince me about this . but somebody needs to talk to brooke and wake her up . ridge : well that 's easier said than done . brooke and i seem to be on different sides of this . [ scene_break ] katie : we have been over this a thousand times . i ca n't believe you want me to totally give up my career just to help out your marriage . brooke : letting ridge be the c.e.o . would be the right thing to do . katie : you know , the company did n't exactly flourish under ridge and eric 's control . brooke : oh , that is not fair . there were debts from overexpansion , which bill made the bank call in , by the way . katie : so what happens the next time ridge gets upset about something ? should bill and i move out of the beach house ? brooke : the forresters worked hard to have their place in this fashion industry . you and bill bought yours . katie : wow . that 's harsh . what 's going on with you ? brooke : i just need you to back off the forresters . just be a little more diplomatic . katie : i have been diplomatic . you want me to make nice with steffy -- that girl who tried come on to my husband the night before i got married ? brooke : i 'm asking for some moderation . katie : you know , steffy 's the problem here , not me . maybe we should tell ridge how his sweet , innocent little girl lured my husband up to big bear . brooke : do n't you dare . we need to make peace here , katie . otherwise , i will lose my husband , and i am not going to let that happen ever again .

[ scene_break ] taylor : uh , katie ? may i have a second with you ? katie : i see steffy sent in the cavalry . come on in . taylor : listen , um , steffy has been trying to be a team player here , and she has been trying very hard , but you do n't seem to want to acknowledge that . now if something is going on , if for some reason you have a grudge against steffy , i would like you to be up front with me and tell me exactly why . katie : i really do n't think you want to go there . taylor : yes , i do . i want to know what it is you have against my daughter . [ scene_break ] brooke : ( sighs ) katie may never talk to me again . ( sighs ) but i took a stand for you . ridge : sounds serious . brooke : i know that this work situation is torturing you , so i told katie she had to make a change . ridge : is n't that going against some logan code , going against the family ? brooke : i love my sisters , but you 're my husband . and i love you so much . and if i have to build hearts in the sand or skywrite in the sky to convince you of that , that 's exactly what i 'm going to do . ridge : now i know you love me . brooke : do you really ? because i was going to hire round - the - clock singers to serenade you under our bedroom window . ridge : i do n't think that would go over very well with our neighbors , but ... brooke : yeah . ( sighs ) whatever you lost when bill took over , you did n't lose me . you will never lose me because i take our wedding vows very seriously and i do n't want to fight with you . i want to fight for you , for all of us . ridge : do you feel that ? brooke : what ? ridge : i think maybe we just turned a corner . brooke : i want all the forresters to be treated fairly , especially steffy . ridge : all this campaign business with steffy and hope -- i just felt caught in the middle . brooke : you think hope 's too green ? ( sighs ) ridge : that 's not really my main worry . taylor made me see that . brooke : wow . i 'm surprised her shoulders are n't all worn out considering how much you lean on them . ridge : logan , she is a doctor . she 's had a lot of experience with things like this . she understands why what we 're asking hope could ruin her life .

( sniffing ) your breath . ( chuckles ) graham : what ? nick : well ...

[ scene_break ] taylor : my daughter has been upset for a while now , and i know something is going on . katie : you should really leave it alone . taylor : you run everything here at forrester . i - i do n't know what it is . do you think she 's a rival ? katie : i 'm sure you see her as perfect . but in my professional opinion , hope 's campaign is better for us right now . taylor : well , maybe you could spend less effort opposing steffy , and try protecting your niece . katie : meaning what ? taylor : hope 's past . everything about brooke and her unfortunate relationship with deacon , who is her father -- that will all come out , and the media will have a heyday with this . and it wo n't just be hope that pays for it . the entire logan family is going to be brought down . now that is my professional opinion . [ scene_break ] brooke : why is taylor stirring up trouble ? ridge : she 's not . she knows i 'm crazy about all my daughters . brooke : how could starring in a national campaign hurt hope ? ridge : think about this -- hope 's father , the way she was born . it 's the name we all avoid mentioning , is n't it ? brooke : deacon sharpe . she 's always known who her biological father was . ridge : logan , either you 're being a little naive here or you 're in denial about this . every family has something to hide , but with hope in the spotlight , it could all come out , the disgrace we 've all tried so hard to keep buried . hope will be fair game for reporters , the competition , her friends at school . people love scandals . they die hard . do you really want all that coming up again ? brooke : so hope 's supposed to just put her dreams on hold ? ridge : nobody 's saying that . but ca n't you see the headlines ? they 'll probably call you a tramp or worse , and hope -- stain on the family name , a disgrace . brooke : i ca n't believe you 're saying all these things . ridge : it 's because i love hope . it should n't come up , but it will . that 's how the press is gon na spin all this if we put her in the spotlight , logan . we just ca n't do that to her . we have to shield our daughter . ridge : ( voice echoing ) hope is a stain on the family name ... is a stain on the family name ... is a stain ... hope is a stain on the family name ... is a stain on the family name ... hope is a stain on the family name ... hope : ( sighs ) | brooke tells katie they need to talk . her husband is miserable because of this feud that she has with steffy . katie gushes that hope is doing great and is going to put steffy 's campaign to shame . brooke says katie can not run this company without some consideration to ridge and his family . she 'd like for her to step down and turn the ceo position back to who should have had it ridge . she wants her to keep the peace ; play nice . katie threatens to tell ridge what his sweet little girl did to bill . brooke warns her not to . she will lose ridge and she will not let that ever happen again . ridge tells taylor that he does n't get it . what has their daughter ever done to katie ? they both agree it 's like she has some vendetta against steffy . she was n't born a logan . taylor reminds him that if hope becomes a big star , the media will start digging and find out she 's deacon 's daughter and the scandal will follow . ridge says he does n't think hope knows the whole story . they have protected her . taylor says somebody needs to warn brooke what might happen . nick tells sandy they have one lead for that night she was raped so they are going to pay this photographer a visit . perhaps he should go alone so not to scare off this guy . graham tells hope to put herself in his hands ; he 's going to get her comfortable and take some great photos . he shows her the proofs and hope says it is one of the best moments of her life ; she is so honored to represent her family . nick drops in on graham and makes up another reason why he is there for some photographic tips . he smells alcohol on graham 's breath . |

[ scene_break ] amber : nothing about this feels good . it is so wrong . tawny : ( sighs ) honey , i know . i - i get it . you 're having a lot of qualms . you 're a sweet girl . you do n't want to hurt anyone . amber : mother , i do n't know if i can live with this . i mean , this is -- it 's a lifetime . tawny : honey , the only thing you should be thinking about right now is your child -- is your son or daughter . that 's all that matters . and that baby is counting on you to make the right decision for them . come on . you can not let your baby down . amber : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] liam : sorry to bring it up , but amber 's gon na be here soon . so ... hope : mm , i know . liam : i wish i knew what she wanted to talk to me about . hope : i - it 's strange , you know , that she 's been this quiet for so long . liam : yeah , i know , and now she has , like , this big important thing she wants to lay on me . hope : you ... you -- you still do n't remember anything about that night ? liam : no . i mean , i 've tried . i 've racked my brain . i - i 've tried to ... ( sighs ) reconstruct , but ... hope : still no memory ? liam : no . i went back to my doctor . he said sometimes short - term memory comes back . sometimes it does n't . i mean , i just hate ... ( groans ) i hate feeling out of control . like , i do n't remember anything that happened . hope : yep , so now it 's your word against hers , and we all know what she says happened that night . liam : yeah , but you know what ? the more i think about it , the -- the more i do n't believe it . the state i was in that night -- that i would be aroused ? that -- that what she says happened happened , and i would n't even remember it ? i do n't -- i do n't buy that . hope : mm . [ scene_break ] stephanie : i do n't think i realized that you were still seeing stephen . pam : what ? you -- you knew that we were dating each other . stephanie : but i thought that was over . i mean , i did n't realize that it had continued . pam : well , we did n't really think it was everyone 's business . stephanie : well , i 'm not everyone . i 'm your sister , and we 've never had secrets from each other . pam : i just did n't want to bother you , steph . you 've had a lot on your mind , you know , with your illness and all the work you 've been doing with the homeless . stephen : yes , that 's wonderful what you 've been doing . donna : uh , i - i think that we were talking about my wedding . who 's gon na be on the guest list tomorrow ? ( chuckles ) brooke : i think at the very least , you two should slow this down . stephen : but we do n't want to slow it down . stephanie : well , what 's the big rush ? are you afraid that , uh , you know , she 'll change her mind if she stops and thinks it through ? pam : i have done all the thinking that i need to do , steph . stephanie : really ? pam : mm - hmm . stephanie : what about the old ... have you thought about that ? katie : all right . all right . why do n't we just stay on topic ? and the topic is donna . she 's planning a very special day in her life , and i think it 's obvious that she would n't want pam there , given what this woman has put her through . stephen : now wait a minute . we have all made mistakes . everyone . pamela and i have made more than our share , and we regret every one of them . maybe that 's why we appreciate each other so much . girls , i will always love your mother . i do n't think i have to tell you that . but your mother is gone , and so is your brother . and i honestly did n't think that i would ever recover from the loss of my wife . but thanks to pamela , i 've learned that my life does n't have to be over . and with everything that she 's been through , maybe -- maybe it 's just destined that we would be good for each other . and we are . we are good for each other . i love this woman . and she loves me . can any of you not appreciate that ? brooke : we love you . we know that you 've suffered a lot , but this just does n't feel right . we 're concerned . stephanie : yeah , i mean , why , stephen , would you think that ... you know , we 'd accept this ? ( sighs ) come on . you do n't like anybody in my family . and my family is n't particularly crazy about all of yours , so other than ridge and brooke 's marriage , i just think another marriage between the families is n't going to work . stephen : and i would have said the same thing . in fact , i did for years . but love has a way of conquering hate , stephanie . i mean , look -- look at your relationship now with brooke . who would even have thought that that was likely ? stephanie , the truth is your sister makes me happy . and i seem to do the same for her . pam : ( sighs ) stephen : and we have found companionship and love at a time in our life when we had neither . so this is going to be good for all of us . now we both know how much our families love us . and that love has taught us something . it taught us that the differences between the forresters and the logans are far outweighed by their similarities . stephanie , your loyalty and your dedication to your family is ... ( chuckles ) it 's legendary . and i think you know i feel the same way about my family . what i 'm trying to say is is it possible that it 's time to put aside all those differences ? it 's only caused us nothing but misery . think of what we could all accomplish if we just focused on -- on ... good , if we just let there be a little peace and love , like the love i have for your sister . pam : steph , i know that you 've always been worried about me , and probably for good reason . but you do n't have to worry anymore . i found my soul mate . he knows me better than i know myself . and i love him . and for the first time in my life , i feel loved . please , tell me that you can accept that . stephanie : donna , do you have anything to say about this ? donna : i just want you to be happy , dad . i mean , that 's all i 've ever wanted , and i ... you are . i - i can see that you are . ( sighs ) stephanie : katie ? katie : ( sighs ) i - i - i guess i have to agree with donna . i ... i just want what 's best for you , and you seem to think that this is , so ... brooke : i think ... ( sighs ) you and i need to talk alone . [ scene_break ] liam : all right . that 's it . we are outta here . hope : wait . what about amber ? liam : i 'm -- i 'm tired of waiting . and i told her i did n't want to talk to her . so maybe she , you know , thought better of it and decided not to show . hope : well , that 's wishful thinking . liam : whatever she has to say , not gon na be that important . she can darken our door some other day . come on . ( sighs ) when you 've been together as long as we have -- [ scene_break ] stephanie : i take it you still have issues with , uh , your father and pam getting married . brooke : you do n't ? stephanie : well , i do n't know what to think anymore . ( chuckles ) i mean , if you tried to convince me that it was a terrible idea , it would n't be a hard sell . brooke : that 's not why i wanted to speak with you alone . stephanie : oh , what do you want to talk to me about ? brooke : it was pretty significant what went on here in this room . stephanie : what almost happened here in this room . you were right when you said everybody should take a step back . brooke : or a step forward . stephanie : so now you approve ? brooke : well , you saw pam and my dad . i mean , there 's no doubt that they have feelings for each other . stephanie : ( scoffs ) oh , this would be a disaster . you 've got to know that . brooke : you know , a few weeks ago , i would have thought the same thing . i never wanted my father to marry that lunatic . stephanie : excuse me . that 's my sister . brooke : sorry . it just slipped out . stephanie : your father 's the lunatic . brooke : ( sighs ) they 've just taken our cue . that 's all . stephanie : oh ? and what cue would that be ? brooke : two people who despise each other , and in a few short months , they 've reinvented their relationship . stephanie : oh , that 's frightening . brooke : ( laughs ) yeah . that 's terrifying . stephanie : so what do you want to do ? brooke : well , you and i could band together , and we could put a stop to those two . stephanie : well , that would be ironic , would n't it ? brooke : or ... ( sighs ) we could take advantage of the situation and put an end to the hostilities between our families once and for all . stephanie : ( sighs ) if they turn out to be the dysfunctional couple that i think the are going to be , then we 'll be at war all over again . brooke : no , no , we wo n't . i mean , look at everything you and i have been through recently . we 're not gon na go back there . stephanie : well , do n't count your chickens . you and i , like my cancer , are n't out of the woods yet . brooke : ( laughs ) that 's a nice analogy . stephanie : who 'd have thought ? ( sighs ) brooke : they 're waiting for a signal . so i think if ... you and i solidly support it , dad and pam , i - i really do believe it would change the dynamics of our families . and is n't that what we want ? stephanie : love conquers all ? brooke : well , yeah . ( laughs ) yes , it worked for you and for me , and i do love you , stephanie . stephanie : oh , stop that . brooke : and you love me , too . stephanie : oh ... brooke : you know it . just think about it , what you and i could do together . this is our time . we can end the battling and the feuding , and think about what it would mean for our children , for your grandchildren , and everything that we could actually accomplish together . forgiveness , stephanie . a wise woman told me about forgiveness this christmas . forgiving is living . yes . so let 's do it . you and me . let 's end this feud between our families . come on . [ scene_break ] amber : you were leaving ? hope : well , did you think we were gon na wait around all day ? liam : ( sighs ) come on in , amber . so what is it ? what 'd you need to see me about ? amber : i told you it was important . liam : yeah . took you long enough getting here . amber : yeah , i was just trying to get my head on straight . hope : maybe you should have done that the night of liam 's party . amber : yeah , maybe i should have . hope : instead , you followed him home and tried to seduce him . you know what ? it -- it was n't even a seduction , really . you just broke into his apartment and crawled into bed with him . amber : he did n't send me away . liam : how could i ? i was completely out of it . hope : yeah , which you should have realized , but obviously , that did n't stop you . liam : hey , can we , uh , can we get to the point ? say what you came here to say . amber : ( sighs ) maybe i should just talk to liam alone . hope : oh , you 'd love that , would n't you ? no , amber . i 'm not going anywhere . i am liam 's girlfriend , and whatever you have to say to him , you can say to me . amber : okay , fine . i 'm pregnant , liam , with your baby . congratulations . you 're gon na be a daddy . | liam tells hope that he does n't know what it is about but amber is on her way over . hope says she knows amber and she is trouble . he still does n't remember what happened that night so it 's his word against amber 's . he was so out of it that he ca n't believe that he could have been that aroused to have done what amber said . stephen asks donna and pam if they have come to an understanding . donna slyly says yes , they do understand each other very well . he wants to be able to bring pam to donna 's wedding . brooke and katie return and tell stephen that they have invited stephanie over . they were sure that pam would want her to know the good news . pam tells stephanie that she is not going to change her mind . she loves this man and they are going to get married . stephen adds his two cents by saying they have all made mistakes and they regret it , but they are good for each other and they are going to be married with or without their blessings . |
katie : thank you for coming . brooke : of course . i 'm glad you called . i was worried . katie : [ sighs ] you went through all that trouble and i stormed off . brooke : i understand . katie : i thought bill and i were on the same page about his drinking , but apparently we were n't . i was upset , and he was upset , but bill told me that you were there for him and that you talked to him , and i 'm guessing you said something that calmed him down and made him come home . i just wanted to thank you for always being there for us . [ scene_break ] liam : very cool , hope . hope : yeah ? you 're not just saying that ? liam : no . no . i would tell you otherwise . what -- [ chuckles ] what was that , um , that -- that pink puffball thing ? what was that ? was that a skirt ? hope : yes . yes , it was , and i loved that skirt . liam : yeah . evidently you did . hope : uh - huh . liam : i 'm just saying . i 'm -- i 'm not gon na lie to you . well , obviously you 're inspired . hope : yes , i am . [ scene_break ] taylor : did it break ? eric : [ chuckles ] no . no damage . i guess if she 's gon na haunt us , at least she 's gon na be careful . taylor : well , i guess she wo n't be challenged , even from the great beyond . eric : i guess not . taylor : that 's really weird , that picture falling like that . it just hurt me , taking thomas ' stock away ... dying in brooke 's arms ... [ voice breaking ] of all people . and it hurts . eric : you 're disappointed , taylor . i - i understand . taylor : after years of being the dutiful daughter - in - law ... [ sighs ] and she gives brooke her engagement ring . i did n't want it . but what about any of her daughters ? what about my daughter ? i named steffy after her . she might have wanted to give it to her child one day . it 's like these pieces of me just keep getting chipped away . i lost phoebe , and thomas and steffy are grown up . i sold the house because it 's so empty . i ... [ sobbing ] and my best friend dies . i 'm alone . [ scene_break ] hope : i keep expecting steffy to walk in here . liam : [ chuckles ] i think she 's in paris . hope : yes . thank you . i know that . i just , i did n't expect her to be gone so long . not that i 'm complaining . i just think it 's -- it 's odd she knows that we 're spending this time together . liam : i know . she said we needed it . hope : and we might not have this time alone when she gets back . we need to take advantage of it . [ scene_break ] katie : well , whatever you said , it obviously made a difference . brooke : [ chuckles ] i 'm not so sure about that . katie : no , i mean , when he got home , we were about to talk , and he made it clear that he is committed to our marriage and to our family . he wants to work on this just as much as i do . [ scene_break ] eric : you 're not alone , taylor . you 're not . taylor : i really ca n't feel that way . eric : when stephanie was dying , i - i ... i knew it was coming , and i - i think i was preparing myself for that . but after she died ... [ voice breaking ] it was so quiet . what do i do with this house ? i mean , do i -- do i sell this house ? do i ... do i keep it for when ... we have big family occasions ? for god 's sake . i do n't want to live up here by myself . i do n't want to cook meals for myself and open a bottle of wine from time to time and ... play the piano . they 're things i used to do when she was here . i mean , and what 's the use of doing it now , now that she 's gone ? taylor : you understand . eric : and -- and your anger , your anger about her , the way she died , i understand that . i - i do . i was angry with her . and then i was angry with myself for not being there with her . taylor : no . that was n't , uh ... the way she wanted it to happen . we were n't part of her plan . [ scene_break ] steffy : yeah , breakfast sounds good , dad . okay . i 'll see you soon . bye . [ bells chiming in distance ] [ scene_break ] hope : what is that look ? liam : uh ... [ laughs ] it 's , um ... it 's me wanting to make love to you all night long . or try , anyway . hope : you want to , but you ca n't . liam : no . no , not until i got all this sorted out . hope : i understand . i can be very patient . liam : you -- what are you -- you know , you keep on coming over like this , soon it 's gon na be hard for me to turn you away . hope : oh , in that case , forget patience . steffy still has her own place , right ? liam : yeah . hope : oh , good . then we can just pack up her stuff and drop it off . it wo n't be a shock to her . no . she 's the one who said we needed to spend this time together . maybe her dad did n't even need her in paris . maybe this is her way of letting you come back to me . [ chuckles ] liam : [ chuckles ] hope : when she does get back , you should ask her to move out . i know that you care about her , and i respect your loyalty . but i want to be on equal footing . after all the lies , after everything that was done to us , i think i deserve that . [ scene_break ] katie : i feel guilty for getting you involved . brooke : you 're my sister . it 's my job . [ laughs ] katie : well , i appreciate your advice , and i 'm taking it , especially about the intimacy thing . brooke : ooh ? bill : oh , hey . katie : hey . how 's will ? bill : he 's sound asleep . katie : good . bill : did n't expect to find you here . brooke : yeah , katie called and she just wanted me to know that everything was okay . [ sighs ] you two are gon na be just fine . oh , how sweet . [ chuckles ] you know rodrigo , the forrester driver , he 's just double - checking to make sure i have a ride home . katie : do you need a ride ? i 'm sure bill would n't mind . brooke : no , hope 's gon na pick me up . i - i just , i did n't want to drive myself 'cause i had -- i had a couple glasses of wine at home , and it 's better to be safe than sorry . [ will crying ] katie : oh . ha . sound asleep , huh ? bill : faker . katie : do n't worry about it . i 'll get him . you relax . if i 'm not back before hope gets here , thank you so much . i love you . brooke : i love you , too . [ crying continues ] brooke : [ groans ] i was n't thinking . talking about drinking . bill : it 's all right , brooke . brooke : i just do n't want to cause any more problems between you two any more than i already have . [ scene_break ] taylor : uh , you want me to -- to hold this ladder , and you can get a hammer and i 'll help you hang that up ? eric : i 'll have somebody do that in the morning . taylor , is there anything i can say to thomas ? taylor : he was counting on running forrester with you , and ... now he 's -- he 's heading for paris . i do n't know if he 's coming back . and steffy , i do n't even know what 's going on with her . she 's just behaving so ... eric : well , what is it ? what is it with steffy ? taylor : well , something 's happened . i think she 'd be happy , but ... oh , goodness . can i trust you with something ? eric : sure . what ? taylor : she 's pregnant . eric : oh . taylor : [ sniffles ] and i think she 'd be happy , but ... she just is n't . i - i would think that she would be excited that she 's got a new life inside of her and -- and a family that she could start with liam , but she 's just -- something is not right . eric : well , what about liam ? what does -- what does liam say ? taylor : he does n't know . and she 's forbidden me to say anything to him . eric : i see . taylor : please do n't say anything to anybody . eric : i wo n't . i wo n't . taylor : it has to be our secret . eric : okay . okay . taylor : [ sighs ] eric , i just want her to come home . the longer she 's away without liam knowing ... [ voice breaking ] anything could happen . i mean ... eric : with hope , you mean . taylor : another logan ... coming after my family . [ scene_break ] hope : i know that steffy had nothing to do with what happened in italy or rick 's lie . but that does n't make her completely clean . she suspected that something was going on and she said nothing to you , and she moved in here anyway . i 'm just asking you to level the playing field . i know you have feelings for both of us . and if you 're living with steffy , how can you fairly make a decision about who to be with ? plus with her gone , it 's gon na make it so much easier for me to move back in . liam : oh , yeah . now it makes sense . hope : 'cause obviously you 're gon na end up with me . liam : obviously . hope : yeah . and we 're gon na make it to the altar no matter what happens . i do n't care if my dad shows up or if there 's an earthquake or a typhoon or the minister passes out . vows will be exchanged , and i 'll become hope spencer . liam : yeah . maybe my dad will give you a little -- cute , little sword necklace . hope : oh , great . [ both laugh ] liam : you 're -- you 're a brave woman wanting to become that man 's daughter - in- law . hope : not -- not as brave as you are . i mean , do n't you know the stories about any man who becomes brooke logan 's son - in - law ? liam : why ? what happens to any man who -- oh . oh , that 's gross . you 're gross . hope : i 'm sorry . i know , and i 'm terrible . it 's awful . but at least , you know , i 'm at a point where i can joke about it , right ? liam : yeah , do n't . do n't . no . hope : okay . liam : never again . hope : okay . i know that there are a lot of people -- steffy and her mother -- who like to bash the logans . but really , we are a great family to be a part of . [ chuckles ] [ computer beeps ] hope : oh , go ahead . liam : uh ... really ? are you sure ? hope : yep . i have to pick up my mom anyway . liam : okay . [ clears throat ] [ sighs ] steffy . steffy : hi . liam : how -- how are you ? how 's your dad ? steffy : it 's a difficult time for him . but i 'm glad i could be here . liam : yeah , well , you tell him i 'm thinking about him , okay ? steffy : i will . thank you . liam , look ... i love you . i love you , and i just wanted to say that . and i 'll be home soon . we have a lot to discuss . are you alone ? liam : um ... no . steffy : i have -- i have to go . liam : steffy , wait , wait , wait . no , no . hope : she 'll be back soon . and if you tell her to move out , we can have more nights like this . [ scene_break ] [ glass clinks ] eric : cheers . taylor : you do this every night ? eric : [ sighs ] so far , yeah . sounds silly , is n't it ? taylor : i hope she appreciates it . eric : no , not likely . she never liked the way i made martinis . taylor : oh , she did . it gave her something to complain about . eric : [ chuckling ] yeah , it did , did n't it ? taylor , um ... i will keep your secret , your secret about steffy . taylor : i trust you . i just wish steffy would come home . keeping this secret and ... being so far away . eric : and leaving the door open for hope . taylor : just starting a family ... and here 's hope doing the exact same thing as her mother . yeah . yeah , i 'm talking about your best friend , brooke . teaching her daughter to ruin yet another generation . eric : it 's not gon na happen , taylor . you and your children , your family 's all gon na be safe . i promise you . you 'll be safe as long as i 'm around . [ scene_break ] brooke : katie 's so excited . she 's finally happy again being a mother and being a wife , and i do n't want to ruin anything for her . and then i talk about drinking wine , and then she thinks about you drinking , and then -- bill : brooke , brooke , brooke . stop . stop . you -- you ca n't worry about mentioning alcohol every time you 're around katie and me . it 's an issue for us right now . but we 're going to overcome it . tonight was a reminder that couples have issues . katie and i wo n't always see eye - to - eye . but as long as we have the same goal , which is a solid marriage , a good home for will ... we 're gon na be okay . brooke : you have a wonderful marriage and a wonderful family . you are an amazing person . and i wish nothing but the best for you . hope : hi . brooke : oh , honey . honey , you 're here . um ... hope : did you still need a ride ? brooke : yes . yes . thank you . [ chuckles ] goodbye , bill . bill : bye , brooke . hope : bill . what was that ? brooke : what ? hope : you and bill . there 's nothing going on between you two , is there ? i mean , 'cause you -- you would n't ... no . | katie calls brooke to her house and apologizes for her setting up the romantic evening then running off . she thought that she and bill were on the same page , but then they were n't . he went against her wishes and drank after they were at the cabin so she left . brooke says she understands . katie is about to confide more about their intimacy when bill is lurking / listening around the corner and decides now is the time to make an appearance before katie says more . taylor tells eric that it was really weird that stephanie 's picture fell from the wall , almost like she is haunting them from the great beyond . he tells her that he knows that taylor is upset because of thomas 's shares . she cries that it is more than that . she hates that stephanie gave her engagement ring to brooke when she was the one who named her daughter after stephanie . perhaps steffy would like the ring to give her own daughter some day . it just seems like little by little everything the logans deserved was being chipped away . eric says he understands . he knew stephanie was going and he tried to prepare himself for that . it is so quiet now that he does n't know what to do with the house . he does n't want to cook meals by himself or play the piano or make martinis . there is no use in doing it now that she is gone . he understands the anger that taylor feels in not being there when stephanie died . |
hope : i did not know how much i needed a break . wyatt : see ? you should always listen to me . hope : ha ! yeah , you wish . wyatt : you wish ! hope : [ laughs ] wyatt : so ... [ clears throat ] there 's nothing that you want to take back ? hope : no . in fact , i want more of everything . wyatt : well , i think i can make that happen . [ scene_break ] charlie : you know , i really thought quinn had you fooled . pam : she 's good . i 'll give her that . you should have seen her at lunch , charlie . she 's fawning all over me and flattering me , pretending she was my b.f.f . charlie : but you never bought it -- i mean , not even for a minute ? pam : the minute that she called me `` girlfriend , `` i knew something was up . i just did n't know what . charlie : so , you just played along ? pam : i did . it really fries my cookie when someone assumes that i am some kind of airhead . well , quinn bet on the wrong pony this time . let 's go see liam .

[ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] brooke : hi . you got a minute ? katie : yeah . sure . come on in . what 's up ? brooke : well , i just wanted to tell you how much your support with ridge meant to me . i mean , after everything i 've put you through , you 're still urging ridge to marry me . i was surprised [ chuckles ] and overwhelmed . [ scene_break ] caroline : is this the right amount ? ridge : just come over all the way like that here . there . there you go . rick : i disagree . the dress looks gorgeous the way it is . ridge : i did n't say it did n't . rick : no , actually , you barged into a meeting that was n't yours , started making changes . i do n't think i have to tell you you do n't design for hope for the future . we rebranded this line -- quite successfully , i might add . if we go back to the way things were , we might as well sail that ship right into a financial abyss . second of all , as the executive in charge , i do n't want hope for the future looking couture . that was never the intention . ridge : i gave a note . you can take it or leave it . caroline : i 'm taking it . thank you . what about -- what about this one ? [ scene_break ] brooke : what you said to ridge -- telling him to put my ring back on -- your support almost makes up for the fact that he did n't . katie : i 'm sorry . i know that 's what you wanted -- to rebuild your life with ridge . it 'll happen . you and ridge always find your way back to each other , right ? brooke : i do n't know . he seems disillusioned . katie : i know you just want him to get over it , but you have to understand . hearing about you and bill -- it 's a shock . he needs time to absorb it . brooke : i know . i just need to be a little more patient . katie : not exactly your strong suit . brooke : but i 've been trying with you , and i think it 's paying off . i feel closer to being a real sister to you again . katie : we are real sisters . and r.j. is my nephew , and if he can have both of his parents , then of course i 'm supportive of that . brooke : what about will ? katie : will will be fine . lots of kids grow up in divided homes . brooke : so , you do n't think there 's a chance for you and bill ? katie : no , i do n't . brooke : [ sighs ] all because of what i did . katie : because of bill . he does n't get a free pass . brooke : so much damage done -- your relationship broken , ridge is disappointed in me . being with bill spencer was probably the worst mistake of my life .

[ chuckles ] had n't thought of that . oh ! and , maya , i have n't even made anything for you yet . maya : heh ... pam : since , you know , the ... maya : uh , you can say it , pam . since my divorce . pam : yeah . sorry . uh ... want me to bake you something ? quinn : again . pam . celebratory . maya : [ chuckles ] pam : oh ... well , you know i did n't mean it that way , right ? maya : it 's -- it 's fine . pam : [ sighs ] i - i just do n't know what to do . i feel so helpless . with everything that 's going on around here . eric : understandably . i feel that way , too . maya : i think we all do . eric : sometimes there 's really [ sighs ] nothing else to do but just be there . liam : god , the poor mom . steffy : what ? liam : the -- the woman who gave birth to this little girl . i mean ... i feel for her . it could n't have been easy giving her up . i 'm no -- i 'm not judging her . i - i 'm sure she had her reasons . but ... after losing beth , i just ... steffy : yeah , i feel for her , too . but she 's making the best decision for her daughter . it takes courage . liam : definitely . you are so lucky , little girl . your birth mom has no idea of the privileged future she gave you with steffy as your mom . and kelly by your side . eric : let 's make a point of stopping by and seeing them later . quinn : that 's a good idea . maya : you may want to call before you do that . they 've basically just been holed up in the cabin and , uh , i do n't know that hope is ready for visitors yet . pam : i just -- i hate this feeling . not knowing whether , you know , we should go over there because they might need to talk , or if that would just be totally the wrong thing . it 's so hard to understand why something so terrible could happen to such good people . reese : why do n't you just leave her alone ? either you pay the debt or she does . reese : i have $ 50,000 . i 'll have the rest of it soon . yeah ? when ? reese : i do n't know ! a few days . maybe more . just leave my daughter alone ! well , i guess this is a start . reese : you tell your boss the rest is coming . and that when he gets it , i never want to see him or you ever again . [ kelly cries on monitor ] steffy : that little stinker . she was n't down long enough . maybe she 'll fall back asleep . liam : or we could just get her . i mean , i was -- i was kind of hoping she 'd wake up while i was here . and we can put her back down again later . steffy : i 'll be right back . you 're fine ? liam : oh , i am -- i am more than fine . [ chuckles ] yeah , we are . how old are you , little one ? three weeks ? four weeks ? are you older or younger than my beth ? and what will your name be ? steffy : phoebe . i plan to name her after my sister . liam : beautiful name for a beautiful girl . steffy : [ sighs ] liam : well , kelly , what you think ? you ready to be a big sister ? it 's a lot of responsibility . steffy : oh , i think she 's ready . liam : yeah , she definitely is . steffy : i think i am , too . liam : you are . steffy : am i getting ahead of myself ? i mean , i have n't even signed the papers yet . but it 's happening . i feel it . i mean , just look at them together . liam : they 're sisters . steffy : yeah . liam : they are . steffy : yeah . liam : i see your future . i see good things . steffy : heh . liam : for you and your daughters . steffy : i see it , too . [ chuckles ] i switched to stimulant - free miralax for my constipation . eric : i suppose we 're all asking ourselves why , are n't we ? maya : how could we not ? that baby would have been so loved . so cared for . quinn : it 's not right . eric : no , it 's not . it 's not fair . but life is n't always fair , is it ? maya : [ sighs ] eric : so let 's not ask why . we certainly should n't ask why in front of hope and liam . that 's not something they need to hear right now . pam : no , i never would have asked why in front of them , eric . i - i just ... i 'm just struggling with what they do need from us . i - i do n't know . eric : they need time . they need us . they need family . they need friends . they need ... they need casseroles . maya : [ chuckles ] eric : no , they do . if cooking is how you can show you love somebody , and how you want to help , then you do it . we can all help in our own way . that 's what makes us a great family . we all play our part , especially in times of crisis . we 're forresters . we all have a part to play . when it 's time to rally , we damn well rally . liam : even the way she sleeps . steffy : phoebe ? what do you mean ? liam : well , it just reminds me of -- of kelly when she was a newborn , you know ? steffy : yeah , i know . maybe i should stop doing that . liam : stop doing what ? steffy : calling her phoebe . before it 's official . liam : well , is there any reason to think it wo n't happen ? steffy : no . liam : i mean , you even said you -- you feel it , you know ? you know it . steffy : yeah . yeah , i do . liam : well , i feel it , too . that kid -- that kid is here to stay . steffy : i hope so . i want that for kelly . the connection that i had growing up . that bond that twins have . and i -- i realize that they 're not twins . kelly 's a few months older . but still . did you see the way they fell asleep together ? liam : oh , yeah . steffy : this has to happen , liam . we are so close . my mom is actually taking care of the payment . liam : the down payment ? steffy : yeah . liam : that 's good . it means everybody 's on board , right ? steffy : yeah . i 'm just trying not to get too excited about it . liam : why ? we could all use a little excitement about now . [ scoffs ] steffy : i suppose that 's true . liam : so , um ... so your mom 's pretty involved in this , right ? steffy : i hope you 're not about to say anything negative . my mom would never be a danger to those girls . liam : oh , honestly , i was n't even thinking about that . i was just curious because you said she has a colleague ? steffy : yeah . yeah , he 's the one who introduced her to florence . liam : florence ? steffy : the birth mother . liam : ohh . steffy : yeah , yeah . she 's -- she 's sweet . and down - to - earth . she just had some bad luck . she 's not ready to handle the responsibilities of parenthood . liam : and what -- and what about the father ? steffy : he 's out of the picture . does n't want to be around . liam : god , that 's crazy . i mean , i ca n't even ... i ca n't even imagine feeling that way . i mean ... but , hey , you know , she 's gon na have plenty of father figures in her life . she 's got your dad , your grandfather , your brother . hopefully there 's room in there for me . steffy : you 're her sister 's father . of course there will be room . and there i go again , getting ahead of myself , already saying all this before it 's a done deal . am i crazy ? liam : yeah . yeah , you are being crazy . you 're -- you 're crazy about this little girl . i mean , listen , you -- you wanted the best for kelly , and you went out , and you found the sister you thought she needed . a - and i -- i admit , i was skeptical . but you proved me wrong , and now i believe it , too . now i want this just as much as you do . i want that little girl to have a life and a home with you . now you can make any morning of the week [ poker game trills ] tiffany : at least we get to keep our day jobs . emma : right . that 's true . zoe : we did what we could . emma : yeah . zoe : dad ? reese : hey , superstar . how 'd it go ? zoe : uh , we did n't get the callback . reese : seriously ? well , they would n't know talent if it smacked them upside the head .

[ cellphone chimes ] steffy : oh , it 's the mom . she 's on her way back . liam : you are the mom . steffy : liam . thank you . i hope so . [ sighs ] until we sign that paperwork . liam : yeah . steffy : [ sighs ] liam : well , um , i should -- i should probably go . steffy : no , no . stay . she knows you 're here meeting the baby . liam : i - i know , but i do n't want to , like , get in the way and complicate things and ... i 'm still grieving . and i -- i do n't know if that feeling of loss and loneliness ever goes away , but ... but there 's this now . this new life , this baby . and it 's not beth . god , i wish i had beth . but ... kelly has a sister . and that ... feels good . i ... feel ... good . for the first time since -- thank you . thank you for doing this . steffy : you 're welcome . i know it 's a little unconventional . liam : [ scoffs ] steffy : people are gon na talk . i 'm sure the press will have a field day . `` greedy ceo already has a baby , and oddly decides to adopt another . `` liam : i think it 's gon na be more like , `` fashion icon generously opens up her heart and her home to a child in need . `` steffy : oh , if you were still working at spencer publications . liam : you are gon na get good feedback on this , trust me . positive feedback . steffy : [ sighs ] positive or not , i want this . i really do . and what am i waiting for ? the right man ? a husband ? liam : [ scoffs ] steffy : by the time i 'm ready for that , kelly will be older . and i want to give her the family that i envisioned . a sister close to her age . yeah , i 'll be doing it alone , but ... i 'm fine . we 're fine . they 'll grow up together . liam : except ... you 're not alone . you may be single , but you 're not alone . i mean , like i said , you know , you can think of me as a father figure if you like . i 'll -- i 'll be there . steffy : mm . liam : for you and kelly and -- [ sighs ] and if all goes according to plan , phoebe . [ baby cries on monitor ] steffy : uh - oh . liam : uh , yeah . looks like i 'm gon na get to say goodbye , after all . steffy : yeah . i 'll go get her . liam : actually ... can i ? steffy : yeah . yeah , of course . liam : all right . steffy : [ sighs ] she did n't wake kelly ? liam : no . steffy : what a good little sister . liam : i know . so thoughtful . i 'm really glad you 're here , phoebe . there 's just ... something about you . you belong in my daughter 's life . in all of our lives . | liam holds the baby steffy intends to adopt . she feels the bonding and he says she will fit right into her family . she says they may not be together anymore but they are still family . she is her daughter but she belongs to him too . then liam gives the baby girl a bottle and says he feels sorry for the poor woman who had to give him up . and he tells the baby she is so lucky to have such a great mom . on one side of the backstage watching zoe and friends in talent show is the thug and watching them and the thug from other side is reese . the thug makes a move and reese jumps over everything to grab him and tells him quickly that he has the $ 50,000 . there will be more so just leave zoe alone . the thug checks out the money and leaves . eric sits around the table with quinn , maya and pam . they discuss the loss to hope and he says that is what makes family so great that they can pick each other up in a crisis . |
steffy : i know it seemed like that kiss came out of nowhere , but ... the truth is it -- it didn't . thomas : now , listen . i will call your phone when hope 's watching . you know what to do , steff . do it . liam : steffy ? steff . hey . steffy : liam , i enjoyed kissing you . and to have you respond that way ... i have to tell you that ... i have to tell you that thomas , um ... liam : thomas what ? what about thomas ? douglas : i win ! hope : again ? honey , you always beat me . douglas : i think you let me . hope : what ? i would never . okay , but this time you really did beat me fair and square . douglas : i love that you 're my new mommy . brooke : being your mom makes hope happy , too , douglas . douglas : every night i pray that i wo n't lose you like i lost mommy . quinn : i know i 'm supposed to be the bigger person and get over it , but who the hell does brooke think she is ? threating my marriage , attacking my best friend ? shauna : honey , i appreciate you defending me , but you ca n't let her stir up trouble between you and eric . quinn : that 's exactly what she 's doing , and she 's not even being subtle about it . shauna : i know . that 's why you have to be smart . do n't overreact . eric : shauna , hi . shauna : hi , eric . eric : i 'm heading out . i wanted a few minutes with you , if you do n't mind . shauna : um , i 'll catch up with you later . quinn : okay . eric : so what did shauna decide ? quinn : what are you talking about ? eric : i assume you spoke to her . she ca n't stay in the guesthouse . it 's inappropriate . and we ca n't have her causing any more tension between ridge and brooke . quinn : i agreed to leave ridge and brooke alone , not tell shauna to leave . eric : and my son is trying to keep his marriage afloat . shauna staying around here just undermines that . quinn : i think i 'm the one being undermined here . eric : look , shauna 's your friend , but ridge and brooke are family . they have every right to expect from us all the support we can give them . quinn : i think brooke needs to get her home in order and stop making demands in ours . hope : well , beth 's going to to be up from her nap in a little bit . do you want to finish the picture you were making for her ? douglas : i 'll go get it . hope : what was i thinking ? brooke : i 'll watch the kids if you need to go see liam . hope : no . it 's -- it 's fine . i -- i miss him . but liam was asking too much of me . i mean , how ... how could he think i would turn my back on douglas ? brooke : thomas put you in this position . he manipulated the whole situation . hope : he did n't have anything to do with it , mom . liam was the one kissing steffy , and you ca n't blame thomas for that . liam : thomas has done everything he can to derail my relationship with hope , but you had no part in that . steffy : liam , i 've liked having you around . and that kiss -- liam : seriously , stop . you -- you got to stop feeling guilty about that . you did n't plan it . you did n't know hope was going to be there . and whatever it is you think thomas had to do with it , i do n't know . thomas : yo . liam : but -- steffy : [ gasps ] thomas : i can answer that . if my sister does n't object . liam : [ laughs ] i do n't need you to tell me what 's going in my life , thomas , 'cause , frankly , you do n't know a thing about it . thomas : but i do . and that 's what steffy 's been trying to tell you . you see , the truth is i have been encouraging my sister to tell you the truth about how she feels for months . and i am sorry that hope got hurt , but i 'm so glad that steffy didn't . 'cause you know what ? you belong with the family you had first . liam : oh , yeah . so you can be with hope . thomas : i 'm with zoe now , remember ? liam : and yet somehow i bet my last name that if hope and i broke up that would change . thomas : [ chuckles ] you know , according to her , you already have broken up . steffy : could we not make this situation any worse ? it 's already complicated enough . liam : no , this -- but this is what he does . he creates chaos in other people 's lives . ever since you came back into town , it 's been one crisis after another . and who 's in the middle of it all ? you . tell kelly i love her . i got ta -- i got ta go . steffy : yeah . i will . thomas : are you out of your mind ? you were gon na , what , tell liam the truth and ruin everything ? eric : quinn , i just want some ... i want some peace in this family . quinn : so do i . look , if brooke is so concerned about her marriage , she should be talking to ridge , not whining to you and picking fights with your wife . eric : i hate that it got physical between the two of you . quinn : i 'm not proud of it either . eric : you were provoked . i understand that . i understand . but i 'm asking you to please go easy on brooke . i hate seeing her so upset . she knows that . that 's why she put on that ridiculous dog and pony show for you . eric : no . i 'm concerned about her . i really am right now . brooke is never good when she 's separated from ridge . and the way she 's acting reminds me of when she was drinking too much . i 'd hate to see her go to that dark place again . so look , please , please do this for me . this is nothing against your friend shauna . this is what 's best for our family . we gave shauna a place to stay temporarily , and now it 's time for her to move on . all right . i 'm gon na go . let me know how it goes . brooke : honey , please , do n't let this happen . do n't let thomas destroy your relationship with liam . hope : thomas was n't involved in this , mom . it is n't his fault . liam was the one who did n't wan na hear it , who ran to steffy when things did n't go his way . brooke : because you were at odds over thomas . the kiss all happened because of him , you know . do n't you see what he 's doing ? he 's trying to create so much chaos that you 'll go back to him . hope : well , that is not going to happen . brooke : ah , i really hate to say this , but ... hope : then don't . brooke : you and thomas are raising douglas together . you are working together . i 'm just telling you , please , do n't let thomas push liam further and further away from you . bill : i think your budget works . there you go . you got daddy 's approval . you happy about that ? liam , hey . liam : yeah . bill : come on . you pitched this project . liam : yeah . bill : i 'm not going over these numbers to amuse myself . liam : sorry . it 's this ... hope situation . i just ca n't stop thinking about it . bill : no . you ca n't stop beating yourself up over that kiss . well , stop it . get your focus to where it needs to be -- on work ... and rebuilding your life with steffy . thomas : steffy , why do you wan na mess everything up ? look , liam is living here again . steffy : you do n't get it . i 've been down that road before , scheming to get what i want . nothing good comes of it . i never wanted to do something like that again , thomas . thomas : you just showed liam how you feel , okay ? that 's it . steffy : i knew hope could see us . i wo n't pretend i didn't . thomas : you ca n't go to liam and tell him the truth . okay , 'cause if you do , then he 's going to go to hope . and you and kelly , you lose the chance at being a family . and if dad found out , he would think i was meddling and that i was obsessed with hope again . steffy : well , are you ? you followed her here . thomas : okay , look , i 'll always be tied to hope . we 're raising douglas together . is it so crazy to think that i want you and liam to raise kelly together ? steffy : it is if you think that 's how you 're gon na get hope for yourself . liam : what is happening right now ? i thought you were , like , super happy and supportive ? bill : i was happy because you were happy . but now you tell me you 're kissing steffy . tell me i 'm wrong . liam : yes , i very much enjoy my time with steffy and kelly . bill : why ca n't you just say it ? steffy 's the woman for you . liam : because , dad , it 's complicated , okay ? bill : no , liam . the only thing complicated is your life with hope . i mean , what is she doing , raising a kid with that thumb - sucking , diaper - wearing , degenerate thomas ? douglas has a family . he 's a spencer . your cousin caroline , may she rest in peace , will always be douglas 's mother . but do n't you see it ? hope is never happy unless she puts herself in the middle of some kind of unnecessary crisis . well , hell , you 're the same way . always looking for a cause to fight and somebody to save . liam : all right . relax . bill : you think that makes you perfect for each other . it doesn't . you need a woman who does n't add to your drama . a woman who grounds you . steffy , she makes you a better man . liam : [ scoffs ] steffy : tell me the truth , thomas . thomas : the truth . you and liam belong together . that 's the truth . steffy : no . about you and hope . thomas : i 'm dating zoe now . steffy : you better not be using zoe as a cover . i 'm serious , thomas . i 'm not the biggest fan of zoe , but she genuinely cares about you . if this is some kind of ploy , then i need to know . thomas : steff , i 'm doing what you told me to do . i 'm getting my life back on track . i 'm doing great work at the office . i 'm being a father to douglas like he needs . and i 'm happy . i 'm hanging out with zoe and i 'm having fun . and you can be happy , too , if you just listen to me . brooke : i know you do n't wan na see this , but it is all thomas . look , there was beth . now you and liam . me and ridge . now shauna . hope : shauna ? what happened with shauna ? brooke : [ sighs ] hope : mom . brooke : thomas made my marriage to ridge vulnerable . that 's the reason why ridge had the divorce papers drawn up . hope : but he has n't filed them . brooke : no . but he went to talk to shauna about them , and that gave her the green light , with quinn 's blessing , no less . i do n't wan na think that this -- this was bound to happen . i do n't think it was 'cause ridge is so committed to me . hope : are you saying that something between ridge and shauna ? brooke : ridge told me that they kissed . hope : mom , i 'm so sorry . brooke : yeah . i ca n't believe it myself . hope : i ca n't believe it either . brooke : i mean , i really did n't think that i would have to worry about him going over to eric 's . he was going over there to take care of his son , to reunite their family . and i did n't even think about quinn . but quinn is the one . she did this . she orchestrated this whole thing by moving her best friend into eric 's guesthouse . quinn : i 'm not gon na let brooke get away with this . shauna : eric wants me to leave . quinn : eric does n't want brooke to be upset . shauna : i think it 's a little late for that . quinn : shauna , i do n't want you to go . shauna : it 's okay . flo will just have to make room for her mama again . you know ? and who knows . maybe i 'll have the whole place to myself when she moves back in with wyatt . oh , quinn . it 's not the end of the world . i 'll miss seeing you every day , but i do n't wan na be a problem for you and eric . quinn : but you 're not the problem . brooke is . this is my home . eric is my husband . i tried to reason with him , but somehow the bitch got her own way . liam : [ sighs ] you know , i really thought , naively , that our troubles would be over once we got beth back . bill : well , they might 've been over if hope had n't dragged tommy the sociopath back in the picture . you know , do n't take this the wrong way , but i have to wonder if hope is n't secretly attracted to that degenerate . liam : oh , my god . dad ! bill : come on , liam . come on now . opposites attract . look at katie and me . she wo n't be too happy , though , steering you away from hope . but i do n't care . i 've always thought that steffy is the woman for you . steffy : i wo n't trick liam into being with me . thomas : he kissed you back . steff , i saw it . it was real . liam still has feelings for you , and he has n't been able to express them until now because he was with hope . but now hope broke up with him . okay ? he 's free . steffy : she broke up with him because of that kiss . it was a setup . thomas : no . it was an opportunity and you took it . now , do n't feel bad about that . steffy : well , i do . thomas : you shouldn't . you 're trying to reunite your family . think about dad and everything that he did to try and get us back together . i 'm sure he questioned things at times , but he realized what he had to do and then he did it . and that 's exactly what you need to do for kelly . she should n't have to look at a picture to see how much her parents love each other . you and liam -- as much as i ca n't stand that guy -- you -- you belong together , steff . now , if you just fight for it , then you can have that family again . brooke : how are we supposed to hold our relationships together when it seems like all these forces are trying to tear us apart ? hope : i ca n't even believe ridge would be tempted by shauna . brooke : i know . i did warn him about her . but quinn had other plans . hope : okay , but that 's not why quinn moved shauna into the guesthouse . brooke : honey , she does n't like me . and she despises my position in the forrester family . she saw an opportunity to cause trouble , and she did . she moved shauna into that guesthouse . she knew that eric was n't gon na kick her out . all this time she has tried to prove that she has changed , but i know she has n't , because when she was cornered , she lashed out , and i mean literally . hope : what ? brooke : yes . she hit me so hard she knocked me to the ground . hope : mom , that 's crazy . brooke : i know . that 's what i was telling eric . i was trying to get him to open his eyes , tell him the kind of woman that he was married to and how dangerous she still is . brooke : honey , i know you think that we 're helpless , but we 're not . all we need to do is stand up and fight . we need to fight these people like quinn . we need to protect our family and get these manipulators out of our lives . quinn : oh , i hate her `` poor me `` act . shauna : i agree . brooke 's a pill . but , honey , i do n't need you to fight this battle for me . please do n't risk your marriage . quinn : this should n't even be about my marriage . brooke had no right dragging eric into this . shauna : eric did n't want her upset . quinn : it makes me so sick to hear her words in his mouth `` we 've got to do everything we can to protect their marriage . `` i mean , as if throwing you out is gon na make any difference at all . if ridge wants to kiss you , he 's gon na kiss you . brooke does n't get to decide that . shauna : brooke is n't deciding . i am . i 'm going . i figured that 's what eric wanted to talk to you about . i 've already packed . quinn : shauna . shauna : quinn , i 've seen firsthand how much you two love each other . i do n't wan na do anything to mess that up . quinn : i do n't wan na do anything to mess it up either . i love eric . i wake up every single morning so excited about the future i get to share with that man , and i know he feels the same way . that 's why i 'm just -- i 'm so furious that- that - that brooke brought my character into question . do you wan na know what stephanie used to call her ? she used to call her the slut from the valley . oh , yeah . i mean , come on . if anyone needs to leave this family , it 's brooke . i 'm telling you , if she thinks that i hit her hard the other day , she should brace herself , because if she does n't back off , i 'm gon na do more than knock her down . i 'm gon na put an end to her . | as steffy is about to explain to liam how thomas manipulated them into kissing , thomas walks in and interrupts . liam is n't happy to see him . thomas tells him that he 's been encouraging steffy to tell him how she feels and that they belong together . liam accuses him of wanting to be with hope , so thomas reminds him that he 's with zoe now . liam blames thomas for creating trouble wherever he goes . liam leaves so he wo n't have to deal with thomas . thomas ca n't believe that steffy was going to spill the truth to liam . steffy explains that she 's been a schemer before and it does n't work out in the end . thomas does n't want her to let liam know what he 's been up to because then ridge will find out . steffy hopes that he 's not just using zoe because she really cares about him . he maintains that he 's doing what she said he should : getting his life back together . he 's happy and having fun with zoe . thomas keeps working on steffy , manipulating her to stay with liam . at spencer , liam ca n't focus on work because he can only think about the problems with hope . bill chews him out for not focusing on business . bill thinks that liam should be with steffy , which liam is n't too happy to hear . bill accuses hope of exactly what liam said about thomas - that she creates drama everywhere . bill thinks that steffy is a better match and wonders if hope is n't secretely attracted to thomas . liam is disgusted by that thought . |

[ scene_break ] charlie : okay . security footage is on its way . pam : what if we 're wrong , charlie , and they 're not in emerald bay ? charlie : that wo n't matter to liam . he will track his honey down as long as it takes . pam : hey , charlie , you are not responsible for this . wyatt and morticia are . charlie : you think she 'll lose her job and wyatt , too ? pam : well , wyatt should have known better than staging a heist . charlie : yeah , well , overprotective mommy said he did it for love . pam : i know . but i also know hope . and this ai n't gon na fly with her . she values honesty above anything else . and wyatt may have been pretending to be mr . honorable , but -- charlie : liam is going to so bust him . he 's gon na show hope the real wyatt . pam : right . [ scene_break ] liam : [ sighs ] emerald bay , 20 miles . 20 miles . [ scene_break ] hope : you know , this trip is filled with perfect moments . wyatt : yeah ? what 's your favorite so far ? hope : do you really have to ask ? wyatt : oh . close your eyes . hope : why ? wyatt : just close them tight . hope : [ chuckling ] okay . how long ? wyatt : how long what ? hope : how long do i keep them closed ? wyatt ? wyatt ? what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] [ cell phone beeps ] liam : dial hope 's cell . [ dialing ] [ ringing ] hope : hi . you 've reached hope . i 'm not here , so please leave a message . [ beep ] liam : come on . [ scene_break ] wyatt : no peeking . hope : i do n't peek . i do n't . except , you know , for that one time that santa came and gave presents to us , but all kids do that , right ? [ chuckles ] wyatt , what is going on ? wyatt : hmm . okay . reach out in front of you on the table . hope : wyatt , what is this ? [ scene_break ] charlie : any , uh , any sign of quinn ? pam : nada . but i 've been keeping an eagle eye out . charlie : right . pam : what you got there ? charlie : huh ? oh . it 's emeralds from the new shipment . pam : ooh . charlie : mm . how 'bout those babies ? pam : wowee - wow - wow - wow . charlie : yeah , quinn 's gon na use them in her next collection . pam : or she thinks she is . but the tables are about to turn . charlie : you know , liam should be pulling into emerald bay just about now . pam : i hope your hunch is right . charlie : yeah . wyatt knew about the emeralds . he said liam would be green with envy . i hope that liam introduces wyatt to two more colors . black and blue . [ scene_break ] liam : 5 miles . [ exhales sharply ] [ scene_break ] brooke : ridge is n't interested in another woman . bill : so why his reluctance to take you back ? brooke : he just needs a little more time . just like you and katie need a little more time . bill : [ scoffs ] katie and share a son , brooke , and that 's a bond we will have for life . but a month from now , 10 months from now , nothing will have changed . i want you , not your sister . and by that time , ridge will , of course , have shown his true colors , disappointed you yet again , and probably headed back to paris . brooke : no , ridge is not going back to paris . r.j. 's in school here now . bill : come on . r.j. is not his only draw to paris . brooke : if you mean international -- bill : what i mean is that you really know nothing about his life over there , do you ? outside of the office , outside of being a father to r.j. , you know nothing , right ? brooke : because there 's nothing to know . bill : brook , come on ! we 're talking about paris , the city of l'amour , gorgeous women at every turn . now , ridge fancies himself as quite the playboy , right ? quite the ladies man ? you do n't think he had a fling or two , maybe something more serious , and that 's why he wo n't recommit to you ? the man is no saint . i mean , maybe he had a whole other life over there that he never told you a thing about . maybe that 's why he wants you to feel guilty for your relationship with me , because he feels guilty for being unfaithful to you . you ever think about that ? brooke : this is beneath you , bill . i know you have issues with ridge , but still -- bill : i have issues with how he treated you over the years , how he 's still treating you , and how you let yourself be treated . brooke : ridge and i are fine . bill : okay . well , are you so fine that you wo n't even consider the possibility that he has n't told you everything that went on in paris ? ask him . ask forrester how he spent over a year away . i think the answer might surprise you . brooke : no , it wo n't . i know ridge , and i have complete faith in him . bill : he does n't deserve it . brooke : i still believe in you and katie . bill : yeah ? well , i still believe in you and me . [ scene_break ] bill : hey , i need you to do something for me . justin : sure , boss . anything . bill : ridge forrester . he was in paris for over a year , alone . find out what he was up to . justin : up to ? bill : do i have to draw you a picture ? he 's a playboy . and i know all about being a playboy from back in the day . justin : okay , so you think he was involved with someone . bill : or a string of someones . justin : [ chuckles ] bill , you 're still holding out hope for you and brooke . bill : just do what i ask , justin . dig up whatever you can on forrester , and do it a.s.a.p . i have a lot riding on this . [ scene_break ] liam : yes ! finally . [ scene_break ] pam : i am a sucker for love as much as anyone . but what wyatt did -- he 's got to own up to it , charlie , and make it right . charlie : with hope , you mean . pam : hope , liam , you . no , i still ca n't believe what he did to you , charlie , how he used you . trust me , when liam gets done with him , i 've got a few choice words for wyatt fuller , too . hope : oh , my god . wyatt , this is beautiful . wyatt : i mean , we 've just taken a big step in our relationship , so ... hope : [ chuckles ] i love this . i love it . emerald bracelet . wyatt : mm - hmm . hope : emerald bay . diamond head . i 'm beginning to see a trend here . i think it might be a really good thing having a jeweler as a boyfriend . wyatt : say that again . hope : it 's a good thing having a jeweler as a boyfriend . wyatt : yeah . guess we 're officially a couple now . liam : game over , wyatt . rock ' n ' roll . | wyatt asks hope if she noticed emerald drinks , emerald bay . she got it . charlie says call him wacky but he thinks emerald bay may be their destination as emeralds is the focus of quinn 's latest collection . liam says it is all making sense now . brooke drops in at liam 's to see bill . he feels a lecture coming on . she asks when did he see katie last . he 's not sure what she is getting at . she tells him she was just there this afternoon when she asked ridge to marry her . bill finds that funny . but he 's not getting back with katie and he 's not giving up on brooke either . he tells her just be glad that the hypocrite turned her down . he has one set of standards for himself and another whole less forgiving set for brooke . she 's too good for him and deserves better . kick that loser to the curb and do n't look back . he might be interested in something else anyway . he 's certainly not a saint and he might have a whole other life in paris that brooke knows nothing about . she says she has complete faith in ridge so she does n't have to ask him anything . afterwards bill calls justin and tells him to dig up what he can on ridge forrester asap . he has a lot riding on this . he wants to know everything he did in paris . liam is high - tailing it out of town on pch and clearly he has mud in his eyes . |
maya : well , maintenance did a great job with the walls in your office . looks like nothing ever happened in there . rick : because nothing did . maya : i still ca n't believe you shot a gun in the building , or at all . rick : i was n't gon na hurt them . hey , you 're not gon na scold me about this , are you ? maya : you know that 's not my style . i just -- did it really bother you that much to see ridge and caroline together ? rick : no , that does n't bother me . it 's the lies -- consistently denying that they 're together when , clearly , they still were . i just wanted them to know that i know . maya : well , then i say , `` they 're your walls , and shoot 'em up all you want . `` rick : [ chuckles ] ridge could n't scramble off of caroline fast enough . you should have seen it . ridge : hey . we need to come to terms . rick : i 'm sorry . do we have a meeting scheduled ? maya , do we have a meeting scheduled ? maya : no . rick : then i 'm busy . caroline : not for long . maya : what is that supposed to mean ? ridge : you 're gon na step down as c.e.o . , effective immediately . rick : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] donna : seems like you 've been gone forever . brooke : the milan office was in chaos when i got there , and it took a while to get things into check . then , of course , hope came . donna : how is she coping ? brooke : not so well . you know , it was really devastating for her to lose her baby . donna : well , at least wyatt 's there . i mean maybe it 's a little comforting , even if she ca n't express it . brooke : he 'll hang in there till she can . anyway , i was hoping to get home a lot sooner , and i can see that time did n't stand still while i was away . donna : no kidding . how much do you know about what 's happening at eric 's house ? brooke : i was just there the other night , and imagine my surprise when maya answered the door in what looked like a brooke 's bedroom ad . donna : maya 's been busy . brooke : oh , yeah . she moves a lot faster than i ever did . donna : rick did n't tell you that they were together ? brooke : no . we really did n't talk much . um , he was busy settling in as c.e.o . , and i was busy in the milan office and then , of course , taking care of hope , so he did n't tell me . i mean , i just did n't realize all this was happening -- ridge , maya ? donna : yeah . yeah . it 's a lot to take in . brooke : why did n't you tell me ? donna : well , i figured hope needed your attention , and , um , rick 's been a little scary lately . nobody really wants to cross him . i mean , you -- you 've seen him , right ? brooke : right after he fired shots at ridge and caroline . donna : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] liam : so ... how was it ? ivy : what , that -- that kiss ? i mean , it was , uh -- it was amazing . liam : i mean [ chuckles ] thank you for sharing , but , no , i 'm -- i 'm talking about ... our first night together . ivy : oh , that . uh , yeah , i think it was the best one yet . liam : yeah ? ivy : yeah . i got to fall asleep in these arms and then wake up to this face . liam : oh . so sorry about that . ivy : i love this face . liam : well , i love you . ivy : i like being here . it 's peaceful . liam : [ chuckles ] yeah . wait till my dad gets in . ivy : bill might be bombastic , but his energy is n't dark . that kind of thing -- it filters down from the top , and then it permeates everything . liam : you 're talking about rick right now . ivy : working at forrester used to be fun and exciting , and now just , it 's oppressive . everybody 's just tiptoeing around , trying not to upset the dictator , and -- i do n't know -- it just makes me really sad . i just do n't want to be there anymore . liam : [ sighs ] and the worst part is you ca n't even go home to escape it . [ chuckles ] ivy : well , that 's even worse . with maya there , i mean , she 's there in person , she 's on the wall , lady bountiful . it 's just -- ugh . liam : yeah . well , there is a simple solution . i mean , you could just ... visit your toothbrush . [ scene_break ] donna : rick actually shot a gun at ridge and caroline ? brooke : according to him , he was n't trying to hurt anybody . but he said he could have if he wanted to . and he said it in such a detached way , almost as if shooting a gun into an office is a normal thing . donna : d - did he say why he did this ? brooke : evidently , ridge and caroline were showing their affection for one another . donna : what , they were making out ? brooke : he wanted to get ridge off of caroline . donna : okay . i - i have so many questions here . i mean , shooting a gun ? do n't you think that 's a little bit extreme ? and why does rick even care ? he 's been rejecting caroline since the day that he found out . i mean , he 's over at eric 's with maya , flaunting that relationship in everyone 's face . brooke : he said it was the principal of the thing . he said caroline 's been lying and he just wanted to ... actually , i - i do n't know what it is that he really wanted to accomplish . donna : ohh . brooke : but there is one thing painfully clear -- he thinks that maya is his salvation . and i 'm trying to decide if that should worry me or not . [ scene_break ] caroline : you think that this is funny ? rick : oh , you two charging in to my office , demanding my resignation ? yeah , i think it 's pretty hilarious . ridge : not that funny , ricky . maya : rick has an ironclad contract . he 's in place for a year , so you ca n't just wish him away . ridge : i 'm not sure we 're gon na need your services anymore , either , maya . maya : you ca n't fire me . ridge : we 'll see . caroline : you 're so gone . maya : not as long as rick 's around . rick : we 're not going anywhere -- certainly not because you 're demanding it . caroline : well , you gave us a hell of a case . you shot at us , rick . rick : no , i fired into an office that used to be mine in a company founded by my father . you guys just happened to be there . ridge : you could have killed us . rick : if i wanted you dead , we would n't be having this pointless conversation . ridge : no , here 's the point , ricky . here 's the point of the conversation . either you step down as c.e.o . or we 're gon na go to the police and fire charges against you . caroline : assault with a deadly weapon , attempted murder . maya : you would n't dare . caroline : try us . [ scene_break ] ivy : forrester is like a war zone or a minefield . we 'll all be sitting in a meeting , and it 'll be totally fine , and then , all of a sudden , ridge will say something or caroline will breathe the wrong way and rick just snaps . and he feels like he has to remind everyone that it 's his way or no way . it 's not very conducive to creativity [ chuckles ] not that i think i even really should be looking for inspiration anymore , because i 'm pretty sure all of my jewelry designs for hope for the future are gon na end up in the collateral - damage heap . hope for the future does n't really seem to be high on rick 's priority list right now . liam : what is ? ivy : uh , torturing caroline , by the looks of things . i just -- i feel so sorry for her . it 's like she ca n't do anything right . ridge and her are still designing amazing , amazing pieces , and it 's like nothing is good enough for rick . it 's like he 's actively seeking out to sabotage [ scoffs ] everything -- couture , hope for the future . liam : that 's ridiculous . it 's no way to run a business . ivy : this is all personal for rick . he 's the boss , so we all suffer , but no one more than caroline . [ scene_break ] brooke : how did maya become so entrenched so quickly ? donna : hmm ! orchestration , honey . that girl has been five steps ahead of everyone this whole time . brooke : she said she saw ridge and caroline in each other 's arms , and she assumed something was happening . donna : well , they were n't sleeping together or anything . i mean , they shared a couple kisses . brooke : yeah , but with ridge ! caroline should have known that would have been the worst thing to do to rick . donna : come on , brooke . you of all people know what it 's like to be swept away by physical attraction . brooke : do you have to remind me ? donna : well , you know , caroline 's inexperienced and young . the person who should have shown restraint was ridge . brooke : no argument here . donna : anyway , maya saw what she saw , and she dropped it like a bomb in the middle of the meeting . brooke : poor caroline . i know what that feels like , to have your deepest , darkest secret revealed in front of a room of people . donna : yeah . well , naturally , rick was devastated . and miss maya was there to pick up the pieces . they 've been a team ever since . brooke : what 's your take ? donna : on rick and maya ? oh , i do n't know . it 's not like she 's made him all warm and fuzzy , but i shudder to think what rick would be like without her . brooke : it 's because of ridge . if caroline had kissed anybody else , that moment would have come and gone , and they would all be all over it by now . donna : i wish eric were here -- i mean , you know , for the company 's sake . he would know how to handle rick and ridge -- all this anger and tension , this competition . and now you 're telling me that rick is shooting guns again . you remember when rick was young and shot grant chambers . eric would be able to control his sons . i mean , they obviously ca n't control themselves . brooke , i 'm telling you , it feels ominous ... like the whole bottom could fall out at any minute . [ scene_break ] rick : all right . let me make sure i understand how this is supposed to work . you guys -- you come rushing in to my office , demanding my resignation , and i 'm supposed to say , `` okay , `` hand it over to you guys , like it 's a belated birthday present ? and then what -- you take over as c.e.o . ? ridge : that 's it . rick : with caroline by your side ? ridge : i hope so . rick : well , we all know that 's a fantasy , do n't we ? then what -- you press charges against me ? caroline : assault with a deadly weapon at the very least . rick : ooh . i did n't assault you . i fired into a room . ridge : you think a judge is gon na think that that is normal behavior ? it 's not , ricky . you 're a nut case . that 's why you ca n't run this company anymore . maya : would n't you love to believe that ? ridge : oh , more and more every day , but this one you ca n't walk back from . caroline : something is wrong with you , rick . you ca n't just fire at people ! you ca n't just shoot at people ! ridge : you know what you should do ? go to an island for a little while , get your head on straight , and then come back . we 'll find something for you to do . rick : do you really think i 'm unstable ? caroline : i hate to say it ... but , yes . rick : you think i should step aside and let you and ridge take over ? caroline : yes . ridge : unless you want to go to prison . those are your choices . make the smart one . [ scene_break ] donna : okay , pammy . all right . thanks . i 'll see you soon . [ sighs ] pammy says conditions are tense -- something is about to happen with rick and ridge . brooke : specifics , please . donna : that 's all she said . they 're all in the c.e.o . office now -- rick , maya , ridge , caroline . brooke : pam 's not listening at the door ? donna : no . there 's too many people going back and forth . everybody 's wondering what 's going on . you have no idea what it 's like over there , okay ? nobody feels safe . brooke : because of rick ? donna : yes -- his volatility ! something is about to break out between him and ridge . brooke : well , this is all very disturbing -- and not because we 're a fashion house but because we 're a family . donna : it does n't feel like that anymore . when eric ruled , he always ruled with benevolence . and even when ridge was in charge , at least the staff was n't running around , afraid for their lives . brooke : eric may not be here , but i am . i am back . and i am not going to let the company that he and stephanie built go down in a blaze of testosterone . [ scene_break ] liam : yeah , well , you know what they say about power . ivy : oh , no . you have n't even heard the worst of it yet . liam : there 's more ? ivy : how about rick fired a gun ? liam : what ? ! where ? ! ivy : into the office . liam : are you kidding me right now ? ivy : yeah . he walked in on , on ridge and caroline . liam : wait . hold on a second . rick fired a gun at my cousin ? ivy : no , no , no -- not at her , just into the room . liam : i do n't -- i do n't care ! this is -- he ca n't get away with this . i hope somebody 's pressing charges . bill : hey . wh -- am i interrupting ? liam : actually , come on in . i need to talk to you . ivy : yeah . i need to -- i should go anyway . bill : i did n't mean to chase you away . ivy : no , it 's fine . i ca n't keep putting it off . liam : i 'll see you later . it 's okay . bill : see you later . everything okay ? liam : no . far from it . rick is out of control , dad . he 's completely lost it . do you know he fired a gun ? bill : what ? liam : yeah , into an office where caroline was at forrester . bill : what the hell ? ! liam : i know . he 's got to be stopped . and i think i know how to do it . [ scene_break ] rick : well ... i do n't want to go to prison . ridge : no . that would n't be fun for a pretty boy like you . maya : rick , you are not seriously considering -- rick : no . i think , honestly , we need to -- we need to consider all angles and consider the fallout of the situation . just say you blow it up . say you have me arrested . now we got paparazzi swarming all over the place , and suddenly the company 's under the spotlight , but not for a good reason this time . the next thing they 're gon na want to know is why i fired that gun , and i suppose i 'd probably give a jumpsuit interview from my cell , explain my side of things , maybe even shed a tear or two -- sway public opinion my way . maya : and i could be working press from the outside . rick : yeah . caroline : oh , well , that would be special -- the gold - digging mistress . rick : the point is we 're gon na have a publicity nightmare . we 're gon na go from fashion - magazine covers to tabloid hell . now , would you want to do that ? you want to do that to dad just to get back at me ? ridge : no , no , not to get back at you -- to stop you . i 'm trying to save this company , so you need to step down as c.e.o . , or i will call the police . brooke : no , you wo n't . you 're not calling anybody . [ scene_break ] bill : so , he was n't shooting at her ? liam : no , but it does n't matter . it 's still outrageous . and this is just the latest , by the way . the way he 's been treating ivy and caroline , it 's -- bill : is he being abusive ? liam : abusive ? yeah , i would say so . what do you call screaming at them , threatening their jobs , indifference to if not outright sabotage of their work ? i mean , they 're basically tiptoeing around this guy , afraid he 'll notice them and go off , and why the hell should they have to put up with that ? bill : they should n't . caroline 's a spencer . liam : you 're damn right , and ivy is a forrester , and ivy is my girlfriend , and i 'm not just gon na sit around and let him terrorize them . i mean , i 'm a pretty nice guy , would n't you say ? i try to keep things pleasant . i avoid conflict . i 'm diplomatic . i can basically find something to like about anyone -- except for rick . i have tried , dad . i have tried , and i can not stand the guy and his sense of entitlement , that `` i 'm so much better than you attitude . `` and let me tell you something -- it 's only gotten worse since he got a little bit of power . he 's marginalizing ivy , he 's disrespecting caroline , he 's making her life a living hell , and it 's got to stop . bill : agreed . it 's intolerable . so , what have you got for me ? you said you have a way to make it stop . liam : i want to take over forrester creations . [ scene_break ] ridge : welcome back . brooke : seems like there 's been a lot going on here since i 've been away . caroline : i can only imagine what you 've heard . brooke : nothing that i like . so , can somebody please fill me in on what 's going on ? what did i miss here ? rick : ridge and caroline are threatening to press charges against me for firing a gun if i do n't step down as c.e.o . it 's a typical ridge play , only he 's got caroline riding shotgun this time . brooke : that 's great . so , you make a move on my son 's wife , and if that did n't hurt him sufficiently , you also decide you 're going to have him arrested so that you can steal his job , too ? ridge : he 's out of control . he shot a gun . brooke : i do n't care . ridge : you what ? brooke : i do n't care ! you are trying to break rick , trying to take everything that matters to him . what is going on here ? what has happened to this family ? i 've been gone for a few months , and i come home to this ? ! well , it 's going to stop . rick has worked hard at this job to prove himself . eric believes in him , so he 's given him irrevocable control for a year , and that is not going to change . ridge : maybe you did n't hear me . he shot at us . brooke : what is wrong with you ? ridge : what 's wrong with me ? brooke : you make a move on my son 's wife . you make out with her . she is half your age , ridge ! ridge : so , that 's what this is all about . brooke : look , there is no discussion . nobody is gon na call the police . nobody is going to file charges on rick . he is going to remain here as c.e.o . , and if you do n't like it , you can leave . | rick tells maya that no one got hurt when he shot the gun . he complains that caroline claimed she and ridge were done and clearly they were n't . ridge and caroline come in and ridge tells him he is going to step down as ceo immediately . rick and maya both fire back that rick has an iron clad contract and is going no where . ridge says if he does n't they will go to police and have charges filed for shooting at them . he 's a nut case and he can not run this company any more . rick says he is not unstable and he is not going to step aside and let them take over . ridge tells him to think this over , he has two choices . brooke has coffee with donna and they discuss hope with wyatt being with her in milan . but the milan office is better now so she was able to get away and come home . but nothing is the same now that she is back . and it is a lot to take in and she wishes donna had told her . donna admits rick is a little scary lately and no body wanted to cross him . donna has to remind brooke how much a person can get swept away by physical attraction . rick was devastated by caroline 's betrayal and miss maya was there to pick up the pieces . brooke says this would all be over by now if it had been any body other than ridge . donna brings up grant chambers and how this is almost ominous like the bottom could fall out any moment . |

brooke : this has to stop right now -- today . i , more than anybody , have born the brunt of this relentless -- what do you want to call it -- jealousy rivalry , between the two of you practically since the day rick was born . so , yes , yes , that gives me the right to say `` no more . `` ridge : and the fact that your precious son took a shot at me -- that does n't bother you . you 're okay with that . brooke : yeah , i 'm gon na have to be . because this ends . this endless chain of retaliation . you are sabotaging what you say you love the most . and everybody around you is collateral damage . nobody is going to press charges . rick is going to remain as ceo at forrester creations , and you are going to have to accept it . gracefully or not . liam : listen , forrester is going down with or without us . bill : you 're thinking rick 's gon na drive it into the ground . liam : i 'm thinking rick 's gon na drive it off of a cliff , and without anyone to keep him in check , watch out , innocent bystanders . bill : you 're concerned that hope 's line will be a casualty . liam : honestly , i 'm concerned about caroline . 'cause once she 's finally enjoying the best success of her life , rick is grinding her down to a bloody pulp , and why should we have to put up with that , huh ? i mean , why should -- what ? bill : nothing . nothing . i just -- i just like what i 'm hearing . so what are you thinking ? liam : i 'm thinking with caroline designing , i could run that company and put rick forrester out to pasture . bill : that 's my boy ! leaping into action over a damsel in distress . as a business strategy , it 's a little bit like chocolate - flavored scotch , but that 's all right . i 'm good with it . liam : what ? forrester is a natural acquisition for us . i mean , spencer already dominates the fashion media , so what if the stuff we 're featuring is our own ? bill : you know , you almost sound like you 've been eating meat . or are you just impersonating a cold - hearted bastard to butter me up ? liam : listen , listen for a second . the first thing i 'd need is control of your share of forrester . bill : 12.5 % ai n't gon na get you that far . liam : i know . i know that . but it 's a start . and i know where to go looking for more . bill : do tell . liam : i was married to her . bill : steffy . pam : you want to at least pretend you 're working ? donna : do you know where the gun is right now ? pam : like i 'm gon na ask ? donna : well , it was your sister 's . pam : you think i want to see rick walking towards me with a revolver in his hands ? donna : he 'll listen to brooke . pam : nobody ever does what brooke tells them to . [ laughing ] oh , except you . rick : i 'll let him call the police if that 's what he wants to do . brooke : no ! ridge : i wo n't . as long as you step down . brooke : god , ridge ! you 're not hearing me ! rick : mom , no , there 's no need to panic . in fact , i think a firing range in the basement is perfectly legal . maya : rick , do not do this . you do n't want to get the police involved . it could be a fine or it could be six months for reckless endangerment . ridge : wow , you brought your own criminal justice consultant . rick : shut up . shut up about her . do n't even look at her . you do what you want to me , you say what you want to me . take the woman that i was dumb enough to marry , go crying to the police . but you drag me through the headlines , man , i will drag you right with me . and i will ring out your dirty laundry all over your adoring public . brooke : no , no , that is not going to happen . you -- you are not calling anybody . you 're not removing rick . you owe me . you 're never gon na make it right between us , but this you can do . and you will . bill : this could actually work . steffy is the sleeping giant of forrester . liam : she has always resented brooke 's influence on that company , and now that brooke is gone and her son is installed on the throne -- bill : brooke 's back . liam : what ? bill : i saw hear earlier . liam : how did that go ? bill : do n't change the subject . liam : well , i mean , did rick 's name come up because maybe brooke could rein him in . i do n't know . bill : no way . are you kidding me ? that kid plays brooke like a freaking violin . so when do you leave for paris ? liam : i do n't have to . steffy 's in town . bill : what ? liam : all of her posts online have a location tag . she 's here , dad . bill : oh , so you still follow her online . liam : shut up . [ dialing ] [ ringing ] steffy : uh - oh . am i in trouble ? liam : so you creep in like a thief in the night and do n't even call me ? steffy : [ chuckles ] okay , you caught me fair and square . so what 's my punishment gon na be ? liam : come see me and i 'll tell you . steffy : seriously ? liam : why not ? you can say no . i mean , i 'll carry on somehow without you . steffy : your place ? liam : if that 's okay . pam : do n't do that ! you 'll get caught . i always do . donna : ridge is probably gon na think of this as an opportunity , is n't he ? pam : opportunity never stops knocking for ridge . donna : would n't it be poetic ... something or another if -- if his mother 's pearl - handled gun was the key to his kingdom ? pam : the one and only solution to this mess is to get eric back here . donna : right . but i thought rick 's contract was iron - clad for a year . pam : yeah , but they 're his sons . he can manage them . eric always knows what to do . donna : eric always knows what to do . brooke : you heard me right . you owe me this . ridge : owe you what ? how does that work ? brooke : for every betrayal , every abandonment . you created the situation down to the bullet holes . ridge : okay , wait , so , because little ricky 's traumatized by your screwed up sex life when he was a kid , that 's on me now ? brooke : not everybody can feel and forget the way you can and just shovel your past over your shoulder and never look back . ridge : so this is now about my heartlessness . brooke : or it could be about your hypocrisy . the way you cast me aside when i turned to my sister 's husband . so where are your high standards now ? seducing your brother 's wife . caroline : okay , sorry , nobody seduced me . that is not what happened . brooke : if you 're not gon na defend your husband , i do n't want to hear a word you have to say . caroline : with all due respect , brooke , you ca n't just come in here after all this time gone and act like you understand a situation that you do n't . i 've never slept with your ex . we 've never seen each other undressed . we -- we had an intimacy that i will acknowledge . it was wrong . but it 's been chaste to this very day , as opposed to the way that rick responded , by moving maya into my bed hours after i confessed it all . maya : confessed ? i was the one who told rick what was going on . caroline : okay , you told rick a lie . i corrected it with the truth , and then you made another play for the forrester status and privilege -- one that you had the decency to walk away from . maya : because i was scared , and because you had convinced me that i was n't good enough , but you know what ? after watching the way that you operate , i 've changed my mind . brooke : do you want him back ? you said it was one misunderstanding on top of the other . so ... do you want my son back ? rick : i 'm listening . bill : how did she sound ? liam : same steffy as ever . bill : i wonder what she 's expecting . liam : well , she knows i 'm not gon na jerk around , 'cause we 're friends . through the good times , the bad times , we were always friends . kind of like you and katie . bill : uh , katie and i were not always friends . liam : [ sighs ] whatever . do n't call me . i 'll call you later , all right ? bill : liam . liam : yeah ? bill : i 'm proud of you .

katie : so ... am i ... ... interrupting something ? quinn : katie , how many times have i asked you to call ahead before stopping by ? katie : well , i did n't just stop by . pam is in the kitchen . she 's making something special for eric for when he gets back from genoa city , and she needed some eggs . quinn : so you just rushed right over and saved the day . katie : yep , i had exactly what she needed . i mean , how was i to know that you two were together in the house ?

i mean , okay . so , here 's a question , quinn . um , you wanted steffy to be c.e.o . of forrester creations so badly , and now you 're trying to convince eric to let ridge share that job with her . quinn : so ? katie : so , why the sudden change of heart ? liam : so , did you suspect at all that tonight would be the night ? steffy : that you would slip an engagement ring on my finger ? liam : yeah . steffy : [ laughing ] no . liam : i -- i was , uh -- i was debating . i was going back and forth . like , do i keep it simple and low - key or just , like , all - out , like we 're skydiving or something at 9,000 feet and i pop the question holding hands ?

katie : well , it 's pretty obvious . the two of you , alone together . your sudden change of heart . you wanted steffy to be c.e.o . of forrester creations because you thought it would bring steffy and wyatt together , and then when that did n't happen , you realized that you actually needed someone with some experience and a proven track record . i mean , it 's a little self - serving . it makes you seem magnanimous , when we both know the truth ... quinn : you know what , i 'm not about to stand here and be questioned by you in my own home . excuse me . ridge , would you mind showing katie out ? and do n't come back again unless you 're invited . katie : so ... c.e.o . ridge : yeah . dad has n't made a decision , but he 's -- katie : considering it because of quinn ? ridge : my dad and me , we 've had a rough time , and this -- this is a step in the right direction . katie : it 's a pretty big step . because of quinn . ridge : what are you getting at ?

liam : [ chuckles ] you -- you could show up in flannel pjs and you 'd still be the sexiest bride alive . i 'll never forget what you wore at our first wedding . the mountaintop in aspen , you just appeared . walking towards me , a veil covering your eyes . even then , you were a trendsetter . steffy : boots and all . liam : you were a vision . i mean , there is a reason that dress appeared on magazine covers all over the world , and to this day -- to this day -- is still being talked about and copied . steffy : you keep up with that kind of thing ? liam : well , yeah , i mean with the help of eye on fashion 's research department , yes . as a matter of fact , i do . the cover -- did you know this ? -- the cover on which that dress appeared broke all circulation records . steffy : are you kidding ? liam : i kid you not . until our next wedding , when you showed up in the black little number , which broke records once again . steffy : oh , i get it now . that 's why you 're marrying me . i 'm good for business , not that you ca n't live without me . liam : of course i 'm using you for business . also , yes , i ca n't live without you . or any of the little idiosyncrasies that make you , you . steffy : oh , like what ? liam : like hogging the covers every night and always forgetting to plug in your phone or forgetting to feed our iguana ... steffy : what -- we have an iguana ? liam : exactly . steffy : what ? liam : no , there 's no iguana . steffy : oh , my god . like , what ? no . i do n't even know how i 'd -- liam : what , you do n't know what , miss `` i showed up to my second wedding on a motorcycle ? `` you know how to make an entrance . steffy : i thrive on the unexpected . remember the kiss ?

[ sighs ] with our family . everyone was so certain that the marriage was gon na last . liam : this one will . steffy : it better . liam : [ chuckles ] steffy : i 'm running out of ideas for wedding dresses . liam : so , like , where do you want to do the deed this time ? uh ... steffy : oh . oh , you 're talking about the wedding . i thought -- liam : right . yeah . well , i was thinking , you know , we could one - up ourselves . last time , it was a 10,000-foot mountain peak in aspen . we could go for a 15,000-footer in the alps . steffy : oh . well , that would , uh , i think , whittle down the guest list . liam : [ laughs ] steffy : i do n't know if granddad would be able to make the trek . liam : speaking of whom ... what do you want to do about quinn ? i mean , i -- obviously neither of us prefer her to be there , but she is married to your grandfather , so ... steffy : i know . i know . it 's like ... my grandfather thinks she 's done this ... life - changing metamorphosis , from evil quinn to good quinn . liam : yeah , and that makes him a better man than i because i will never buy it . [ laughs ] but , you know ... she 's already done the worst she can do . i mean , whether she 's there or not , there 's nothing she or anyone else can do to stop us from living out the rest of our lives as husband and wife . ridge : quinn 's beguiling ways ? katie : yes . ridge : what does that mean ? katie : you know what it means . i mean , your father has completely succumbed to her . ridge : my father 's a softy . katie : no , no , she has power over him . ridge : come on , i know you do n't like her , but -- katie : this has nothing to do with me , okay ? this is about you . you 're about to marry my sister . again . you 're putting your family back together . this is everything you 've ever wanted , right ? ridge : yes , what does that have to do with anything ? katie : i just got off the phone with my sister . you know , she 's very excited about your future together . ridge : i am , too , and possibly being c.e.o . is a big part of that . katie : this just proves how adept she is at getting what she wants . she pushes eric to make steffy c.e.o . so that she can get steffy on her side and soften her up , and look -- she 's doing the exact same thing to you . ridge : you 're wrong about that . that 's not what 's happening . katie : oh , you think there are no ulterior motives here ? i mean , come on . this is quinn . you think she just feels bad about elevating steffy to c.e.o . at your expense ? just feels super - bad about that and wants to make it right ? there are two sides to this woman . you and i both know that . i 've seen it firsthand . ridge : meaning what ? katie : meaning how many people does she have to threaten ? i mean , she 's threatened me in not - so - subtle ways . i mean , god , she 's threatened liam . it 's on video ! come on . we know this woman 's history . i 'm just wanting you to be careful . i want you to keep your distance from her . getting too close to quinn , it 's ... it 's like the kiss of death . ridge : okay . my turn . katie : your turn for what ? ridge : you 're in my family 's home , asking me questions . now i get to ask you . katie : shoot . i 'm an open book . ridge : really ? katie : mm - hmm . ridge : even when it comes to your friendship with my dad ? katie : sure . what do you want to know ? ridge : dad helped will get into westside prep . katie : he did . ridge : and next thing i know , you buy the house next door and move into it . katie : it 's a really sweet house . you should see it sometime , but i 'm not sure what your point is . ridge : my point is that you and dad have gotten quite close . katie : well , we 've always been close , he 's like family . ridge : and you 're concerned about him the same way you 're concerned about me ? katie : yeah . i do n't want him to get hurt . ridge : i do n't want that , either . katie : that 's exactly my point . that 's why you 've been pushing so hard against quinn . you 've been so suspicious of her ever since she got involved with your father . you do n't trust her . for good reason . i do n't trust her , either , for the same reasons . but eric trusts her . he loves her unconditionally . he thinks she 's a changed woman . he 's opened his heart to her . i mean , i just do n't think she knows how good she 's got it . i mean , if i had a man like that in my life , i ... ridge : what , katie ? katie : nothing . be careful , ridge . ridge : you , too . liam : can i ask you something ? steffy : whatever it is , the answer is yes . liam : well , hold on a minute . it 's , um ... it 's about my brother . and you . steffy : what about us ? liam : you said yourself he 's a good man . steffy : yes . liam : with a lot of good qualities , right ? steffy : yeah , none of which he got from his mom . liam : [ scoffs ] agreed . steffy : okay , what -- what are you getting at ? like -- why am i with you instead of wyatt ? i do n't -- liam : yeah . i mean , look at wyatt -- he 's -- he 's charming and exciting and edgy and says all the right things and he 's devoted to you , and ... and he has the distinct advantage of never have been caught between you and another woman . steffy : [ scoffs ] i do n't want edgy and exciting . i -- i want you . liam : [ laughs ] thanks . steffy : no -- that 's not what i mean . liam : i know . [ laughs ] steffy : no , you -- you make me want to be better . i 'm not so insecure that i need to be the only woman you ever loved . because when you look at me , i just know i 'm the center of your world . liam : you are . and you always will be . steffy : i 'm so lucky . liam : i 'm the lucky one . steffy : do n't you forget it . cha - cha - cha . i 'm standing with i 'm standing with you mmm , mmm , mmm mmm , mmm , mmm , mmm , mmm , mmm mmm , mmm , mmm , mmm , mmm mmm , mmm , mmm , mmm , mmm , mmm mmm , mmm , mmm always believed in our special bond with you is where my soul belongs after all the bitter and the sweet we are finally back in each other 's arms when you 're lost in a crowd and your heart is pounding out loud i 'm standing with you i 'm standing with you i 'm standing with you i 'm standing with you i 'm standing with you liam : do you know , i remember everything i said in aspen and your grandfather 's house ? steffy : the vows you said to me , you mean ? liam : i mean , i -- i did n't have a chance to write anything down at the first ceremony . it all happened so fast , but ... at the second , i meant every word . liam : steffy , today , i give you my whole life ... and my whole future ... joyfully ... till death do us part . liam : and i will remember everything i say at our third wedding . our final wedding . the wedding to last a lifetime . ridge : i thought you were going to bed . quinn : i did n't know you 'd still be here . ridge : i 'm just leaving . quinn : i heard you and katie talking earlier . ridge : well , katie left . so did pam . quinn : she said a lot of unflattering things about me . hurtful things . ridge : katie does n't know you the way that i know you . not that i 'm an expert on everything quinn ... not yet . quinn : but you 'd like to be ? ridge : man , you 're a complicated woman . but katie was right about one thing -- you are beguiling . you 're dangerous . very dangerous . a man could lose his senses with you . quinn : i think you should go . ridge : you 're all alone in this house . you do n't want me to go . quinn : [ gasps ] [ sighs ] | katie asks again to ridge and quinn if she was interrupting something . quinn admonishes her for just showing up again without notice . katie gives the story that pam was out of eggs and she came right over with them , not knowing that quinn and ridge were in the middle of something . then she even jumps ship by asking why quinn suddenly changed her mind and now wants ridge to even help steffy be ceo . liam jokes that this ring , his ring is not like a tattoo as it is never coming off . he says he needs the ying to his yang . they are totally opposite but they fit . she says she loves him and can not wait to be his wife again . quinn asks katie what is it she suddenly thinks she knows . on second thought , she is not going to stand here and be questioned in her own home , so just go and do not come back unless invited . she leaves but guess what katie does n't . she questions ridge and tells him to be careful . she does not want him to fall for quinn 's beguiling ways . he says his father is the softie , not him . she reminds him that he is marrying her sister so he does not need quinn ruining his life . there are two sides to this woman . she has seen it firsthand . he knows this woman 's history and she wants him to keep his distance . she is like the kiss of death . quinn is on the stairs and overhears it all . |

taylor : because you have n't seen our daughter with thats . it 's like she was meant for her . it 's like she was meant to be kelly 's sister . carter : the documents are tabbed where i need you to sign . please read them carefully . i 'm able to witness your signature since i 'm not mentioned in the documents and do n't profit from anything in them . we thought that might be the best arrangement for privacy . but if there 's someone else you 'd rather call -- flo : oh , no . privacy is good . carter : okay . this is the most important document , florence . the termination of parental rights . without that , we ca n't do anything . you look like you have a question . flo : just , wh - what happens once i sign these and put my name on them ? carter : well , a court will rule whether they satisfy the requirements for a legal adoption . do n't worry -- they do . flo : and then once the -- the court sees them , then what ? carter : the termination of parental rights is irreversible , florence . if that concerns you , maybe we 're moving too fast . flo : no , that 's not -- i just -- i mean ... what happens with all the documents afterward ? carter : they become part of the state 's records of every citizen -- like a marriage license or a birth certificate . flo : well , what -- what if i do n't want anyone to know my name or where to find me ? steffy : you mean the child ? when she 's grown ? carter : california adoption records are exempt from public disclosure . flo : so that means that no one will be able to see them ? carter : i mean , there are -- there are exceptions , but not without your consent . flo : i guess that 's okay , then . carter : so , are we ready to get back on track ? flo : yeah . yeah . i - i 'm sorry . i -- you seem so nice , and i know that you 'll be a better mother than i would be , i just ... i just need to look out for myself a little bit , you know ? there 's little rest for a single dad , ridge : i guess that 's what happens when you live with a millennial . just on your phone all the time . taylor : i 'm waiting for a text . ridge : we 're all waiting for a text . taylor : [ sighs ] from steffy . as soon as she gets the adoption papers signed , i have to deliver that . ridge : yeah , i was looking at that . what is it ? taylor : ridge , what -- oh , my gosh ! ridge : are you kidding me ? what is this ? taylor : [ sighs ] ridge : i - is she adopting a whole orphanage ? how much money is here ? taylor : it 's none of your business . $ 200,000 . ridge : $ 200,000 f -- for one kid ? has it ever occurred to you that maybe she 's being taken ? taylor : it 's my money . what was i supposed to do , haggle ? ridge : this is your money ? taylor : yeah . ridge , i do n't need a financial advisor . i invited you here to give you some good news for a change . ridge : okay . what ? taylor : do you know what she 's going to name this beautiful little baby ? ridge : no . taylor : phoebe . ridge : phoebe . taylor : it 's perfect . ridge : [ sighs ] [ emotionally ] yeah . reese : i 'm so overbooked , i do n't know where i 'm supposed to be when . please forgive me . dr. lin : dr. buckingham , did you say ? you were the attending at the clinic when mrs . spencer ... reese : yes . that terrible night . i ca n't get it out of my mind . i do n't suppose i ever will . i ca n't imagine what it 's been like for you these past few weeks . hope : well , you were so caring . you know , you -- you tried as hard as you could , even with the odds stacked against us that night . reese : [ sighs ] sometimes life is too much like a rigged game of chance . hope : i - i know you 're busy , but , um , we still have a couple of things that we -- we do n't understand about that night , and -- dr. lin : perhaps i 'll just step out for a moment . hope : thank you . reese : uh ... dr. lin : come find me before you leave . reese : i ca n't promise you any new answers . understand that . it 's just , um ... you know , she had passed out , and i did n't arrive until it was over , so ... you 're kind of the only authority we have on this . reese : okay . uh ... what would you like to know ? hope : why we lost our little girl . flo : i do n't really understand a lot of this . steffy : yeah . it is n't my first time seeing it , but i know what you mean . carter : what would you like explained , florence ? flo : nothing . i guess sometimes you just have to take the leap , right ? carter : well , all the paperwork reduces the need for trust , but it does n't eliminate it . flo : this is a good thing that we 're doing . carter : now that the paperwork is done , we will arrange for the funds to be delivered to ... ? steffy : i actually do n't have the name of my mom 's original contact . flo : i said that i would text him . um , i should probably get the baby 's -- phoebe 's things together . steffy : florence , i ca n't thank you enough for everything you 're doing for me and kelly . our little family . flo : i know she 's gon na have a really good life with you . steffy : i promise . i promise . mmph . reese : i wish i could tell you more . i left as full a report as i could on hope 's record . hope : uh , she already told me what it said , but -- liam : but if dr . buckingham is saying there 's nothing more to add , then maybe there 's nothing more to add . hope : no . you -- you told me to keep pushing , so i did . i kept pushing . reese : hope , you did nothing wrong . hope : i know . that 's what everyone keeps telling me . but obviously something did go wrong , and i just -- i want to know why , you know ? why did i black out ? it 's like i slept through the most important thing in my life , the most -- the most terrible thing . reese : and that 's what it was -- a tragedy that i could n't prevent . liam : hey , hope -- hope : no , no , no . i just -- liam : maybe -- okay . hope : i - i want to ask what happened next . are you sure that she did n't cry or move ? because i felt her moving inside of me . reese : i 'm sorry . hope : nothing ? there -- there was ... there was nothing ? [ sobs ] doctor , if -- no . if i -- if i had n't passed out , would our -- would our beth still be here ? reese : i have a patient that i have to tend to . i 'm sorry . if you only knew how much . hope : [ sobs ] carter : okay . steffy , these are for you . and , florence , these are for you . and these are for me to file at the courthouse . steffy : thanks for everything , carter . carter : i 'm happy to do it . ca n't wait to meet the new family member . florence , thank you so much for all the thought and care you 've put into this . you 're amazing . bye . steffy : bye . so , i - i guess now we wait . flo : let 's not talk about money , though , please . steffy : oh , yeah . no problem . flo : so , i - i have -- i have all of her stuff here . um , the clothes , she 's not really gon na fit in for more than like a week or so , but there 's a -- there 's a binky and a rattle , but she does n't really play with anything yet . she mostly just eats and sleeps . heh . steffy : i do n't think i 'll be doing much of that for the next couple years . flo : [ exhales softly ] how old is your other daughter ? steffy : uh , she 's a few months older than phoebe . i guess it 's okay to call her that , right ? flo : yeah . it 's a beautiful name . steffy : as i mentioned before , i - i had a twin . she died in a car accident years ago . flo : i 'm so sorry . that 's awful . steffy : her name was phoebe . we were really close . flo : well , now your other daughter will have a phoebe of her own . [ phoebe fussing on monitor ] flo : oh ! sounds like someone wants to see you . i 'll get her . [ toy rattles ] steffy : [ chuckles ] flo : here she is . steffy : oh ! [ gasps ] if -- if you want to hold her and say your goodbyes , i can -- i can wait outside . flo : this is your new mommy . here . steffy : oh . oh ! [ sighs ] heh ... hi , phoebe . hi . [ chuckles ] hope : they all say it 's not my fault , but ... liam : i know . then maybe ... maybe we just have to accept that it 's never gon na make sense . hope : i have to let her go , do n't i ? liam : no . no , you don't . you don't . not until you 're ready . hope : one thing i do know , beth ... is that mommy will always , always love you . steffy : phoebe , i promise mommy will always love you . | taylor fills ridge in on steffy maybe having a baby sister for kelly today . ridge says he knew about it as steffy mentioned the home study but he did not know it would be so soon . something does not feel right and he keeps asking questions . taylor says the baby is beautiful and she knows he will be all for this when he sees phoebe . steffy goes over more details with carter and tells flo that she is doing the most unselfish thing a mother can do . hope goes to her doctor who tells her and liam none of this was their fault . she will need to run some tests and make sure her body is healing okay . she later tells hope that she looks fine and there is no reason she can not carry a baby to term next time . the thug is crazy . he follows reese to the hospital and demands the rest of the money . reese says he will have it today but if he follows him to work again he will call the police regardless of the consequences . he leaves and walks into the wrong room the room with hope and liam and they all stare at each other . flo only hesitates when carter asks her to sign giving up her parental rights . she wants to make sure what happens then or who might be able to see them . convinced it would have to be at her own permission she agrees to sign . she convinces herself that this is a good thing she is doing . before he leaves ridge accidentally turns over the suitcase and spies all that money - $ 250,000 . steffy must be adopting a whole orphanage with that kind of money . taylor tries to assure him all is all right . |
ridge : quinn . if you 're here about the fashion showdown , i 'm not sure i got an answer for you , which -- quinn : i am not here to talk about work . i wan na talk about your precious logan . eric : i spoke to quinn . brooke : and ? eric : she knows how much you and ridge mean to me and how important it is for me that your marriage be supported . brooke : i bet she was n't so thrilled to hear that . eric : no . she 's not very happy about that altercation that happened between you two the other day either . brooke : oh , how do you think i feel , eric ? eric : well , the good news is that shauna 's gone . she moved out of the guesthouse . brooke : [ exhales ] really ? i mean , that 's -- that 's amazing . thank you . thank you so much . eric : well , i agreed with you that it 's absolutely inappropriate for her to be staying there , certainly not while ridge is here in the house . brooke : well , yeah , it was . i mean , i still ca n't believe she was actually kissing my husband . eric : yeah . brooke : i really do appreciate your support . you know that , do n't you ? wyatt : this is a welcomed surprise . flo : well , i wanted to come see you . wyatt : well , i 'm glad . flo : i also kind of wanted a break from my new roommate . wyatt : i 'm sorry . your new what ? flo : my new roommate . wyatt : i did n't know you were looking for one . flo : oh , i wasn't . but when a beautiful , intelligent , funny blonde showed up on my doorstep with a bunch of boxes , i could n't turn her away . wyatt : your mom . flo : mm - hmm . wyatt : got it . okay . that follows . flo : yeah , she was asked to leave the forrester estate . wyatt : what ? by eric ? flo : no . by brooke . apparently , my mom and ridge shared a few moments together . they were moments that brooke was n't too happy about . sally : [ exhales ] steffy : hey . sally : hi . i , uh -- i was just trying out some new ideas . steffy : are you okay , sally ? you do n't seem like yourself . sally : i 'm -- i 'm fine . i think i 'm just ... tired . steffy : sally , you 've had some trouble for a while now . i can tell it 's interfering in your work . sally : i have n't been sleeping well lately . steffy : i hope you 're not putting too much pressure on yourself . sally : i know how important this line is to you , steffy . i really do n't wan na let you down . steffy : i appreciate that , but i care about your health more than i care about my line . i was thinking about talking to wyatt about it . sally : no . please . please do n't do that . wyatt and i have been going through a little rough patch lately . wyatt : your mom and ridge ? flo : [ sighs ] yeah . uh , she said it was only a couple of kisses . not like that makes it any better . but she swears that nothing else happened . wyatt : sure . but still , i can see why brooke would be so upset . i -- i wonder how she 's taking it . eric : i know this is a difficult time for the two of you . and you 're not able to forgive thomas and ridge . just not able to -- brooke : well , it 's not just thomas . it 's quinn . she 's supporting shauna going after ridge . and when i confronted her about it , that 's when she knocked me down to the ground . eric : i spoke to her about that . she 's embarrassed that she let it go that far . brooke : eric , she 's not embarrassed or ashamed . i do n't think you see how serious this is . please , just open your eyes and take a good look at who quinn really is . ridge : yeah , i love brooke , and we have n't given up on each other , but there 's a few things we got to work through . quinn : yeah , like the fact that she ca n't stand your son ? look , ridge , i 'm not here to tell you how to live your life , even though i think you would be so much happier with shauna . you need to get brooke to back off . tell her to stop trying to turn my husband against me . brooke : eric , i know you love quinn . eric : i do . she 's my wife . she deserves my loyalty . brooke : i do n't think she does . you know that dark , conniving side of her ? the one she wants everybody to think is gone ? it 's not . it 's still there . ridge : quinn , my father adores you . quinn : yeah , i do n't question eric 's commitment to me . we 've been in a really good place for a long time right now . but even a good relationship takes work . ridge : of course it does . quinn : yeah , but it 's almost impossible when somebody 's out there trying to sabotage it . ridge : who 's trying to sabotage your marriage ? quinn : please do n't pretend like you do n't know who i 'm talking about . ridge : who ? brooke ? quinn : yes . eric 's bff -- brooke . do you know that she blames me for your and shauna 's indiscretion ? she says that i orchestrated the whole thing . why did you even have to tell her in the first place ? did n't you guys sign divorce papers ? ridge : it 's complicated . quinn : what 's complicated ? brooke is on the warpath now , and i 'm her number- one target , and she 's thrown everything into chaos . do you know that she forced eric and me to throw my best friend out of the guesthouse ? ridge : what ? quinn : she 's forcing me to defend my marriage . and to make everything worse , eric has this weird loyalty and respect for -- for brooke that goes beyond anything , and she 's using that to undermine me . flo : so have you heard anything from sally since you told her about us ? wyatt : no . no . she 's been swamped working on steffy 's line . flo : i assume it 's not just that , though . wyatt : no . i mean , sally has n't been herself lately . she has n't been herself for a while now . flo : breaking up with someone is never easy . ending a relationship is always gon na be painful . wyatt : i know that . it 's just that ... after the amazing day that you and i had in dad 's office , with katie being all about honesty and forgiveness and welcoming you back into the family , i felt like it was important to go straight to her and tell her about my feelings for you . for our sake . for hers . it just -- it completely backfired . sally did n't wan na hear any of it . it felt like she just could n't take on any more pain . sally : look , i know that i 've been a little off my game lately . i just -- my mind 's been on ... other things . look , i know i 'm not supposed to bring my personal life into all of it , but things have not been super awesome lately . wyatt and i are having ... some issues . steffy : i 'm sorry to hear that . sally : flo 's made a miraculous comeback in his life , and i do n't entirely know where i stand with him . steffy : but you two are still engaged . sally : yeah . i mean , but there 's still no ring , and we never set a date which ... partially is my fault . i said something that i should n't have . but it 's nothing that we can get past . i mean , we have to . i know wyatt is the man that i 'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with . steffy : well , if you believe that , then fight for it . sally : i 'm trying . i just -- i don't ... know what 's wrong . i feel like i 'm trying everything . it 's just so hard just trying to get through each and every day . i ... i just -- i get -- it 's just so -- i 'm sorry . steffy : you know , sally , it 's okay . sally : no , it 's -- it 's silly . really , everything is gon na be fine . i just -- i 'm gon na get back to work . look , this is n't my firs quinn : brooke wants everything to be her way . and you know what 's scary ? she usually gets it . it 's like you 're all brainwashed or something , and now she 's trying to poison eric 's mind against me . ridge : just take a step back . please . brooke is going through a lot right now , and not just because what 's going on with me and her but what 's going on with hope . and she does n't deal with stress very well . quinn : that 's because she projects it on everyone else . ridge : that 's not what it is . it 's deeper than that . she 's had a share of demons , and she -- she had a problem with drinking before . it does n't make her mean . does n't make her evil or vindictive . does n't mean she wants to ruin your marriage . quinn : the hell she doesn't . she demanded that eric leave me . she told him that i 'm dangerous . i mean it , ridge . i am not gon na put up with her meddling anymore . you need to talk to her . she does n't know who she 's dealing with , and she does not wan na make an enemy out of me . eric : brooke , i 'm sorry . i hate that this battle is going on between you and quinn . and i really hate that it became physical . i know my wife . now , i know she did terrible things in the past , but she 's changed . she 's not the same person she was . brooke : yes , she is , eric . that 's what you 're not getting . eric : you wanted shauna off the property , and quinn granted your wish . is n't that enough ? does n't that count for something ? brooke : she did that for you . eric : no , she did that for you because that 's what you wanted . now , ca n't you just -- ca n't you just try to get along ? brooke : why ? why would i do that ? i mean , she does n't give a damn about me or my family . why should i gave a damn about her ? eric : because i 'm ask -- because i 'm asking you to . brooke : i 'm sorry , eric . i am . i ... no . no . i can't . i can not change my opinion about quinn . eric : i know . i have a meeting . i have to go . brooke : okay . i 'm gon na stay and do a couple of work emails . then i 'll leave right after that . okay ? [ door closes ] wyatt : look , i do n't want any of this to affect us and what we 're rebuilding . flo : it doesn't . i know where your heart is , wyatt . i also know that you and sally , you shared a lot together . i obviously do n't know her very well , and we 're not friends . but i do n't like seeing anyone in pain , and it was very clear that when she came to see me that she was really hurting . wyatt : i know , but she really should n't have come to your place like that . flo : yeah . i mean , i was n't expecting it . but ... in a weird way , i -- i kinda get it . wyatt : how did she seem to you ? flo : to be honest , like she 's in denial . like she could n't actually accept that it 's over or bring herself to get there . wyatt : yeah . you know , it 's kinda what i got , too . flo : she also seemed like really emotional and anxious or something . like -- like everything was just really overwhelming to her . wyatt : look , i mean , sally 's -- sally 's been through a lot lately , and i can definitely tell that she 's struggling . i just -- i really hope that she has the support that she needs to get through this . dr. pappas : sally . sally : hi , dr . pappas . thank you so much for squeezing me in . dr. pappas : of course . so i hear you 're concerned about a possible health issue . what 's going on ? sally : i do n't know . that 's why i 'm here . i was hoping maybe you could -- you could give me some answers . brooke : [ sighs ] quinn : get over it , brooke . it 's never coming down . any comments doug ? flo : well , you have been open and honest with sally , and that 's really all you can do . wyatt : yeah , i just -- i feel bad . flo : i know . and it 's sweet . it reminds me what a wonderful , caring guy you are . wyatt : [ laughs ] sally : i 've just been feeling a little ... off . lately , i 've had ... some headaches , some dizziness . [ sighs ] i 'm also under ... a lot of stress at work . i 've had a lot of pressure . dr. pappas : do most of these symptoms come on while you are at work ? sally : sort of . but , i mean , also when i 'm at home . at night . when i wake up . i 've also noticed my hands ... shaking . which makes designing for one of the world 's top fashion houses a real bummer of a challenge . i 've also been having some problems with my fiancé which might ... be part of the problem . dr. pappas : okay , you said you 've experienced some dizziness . have you stumbled or fallen at any point ? sally : yeah . i 've had to catch my balance a few times . i just -- i keep trying to convince myself that it 's nothing , you know . it 's all in my head . i 'm just -- just my nerves from juggling so much at once . but i -- i ca n't -- i ca n't pretend anymore . i 'm really worried that it might be ... something serious . ridge : what do you wan na do ? steffy : i do n't know . we need to decide whether we 're moving forward with the showdown or not . ridge : but like i said , that 's up to you and hope . how 's your line doing ? steffy : i do n't wan na give up . i 'm sure hope does n't either . like , i had momentum at the beginning , but now ... ridge : all right . no , i know . it 's okay . all right . let 's take a break from it . no press right now on it . we 're okay . steffy : yeah . i think it 's best for everyone . sally 's acting really , like , frazzled . she 's putting a lot of pressure on herself , and i do n't wan na add to it . ridge : well , it must be something in the water , 'cause everyone 's losing it . steffy : what do you mean ? ridge : quinn and brooke , they 're at each other . steffy : uh , okay . they 're , like , always at each other . ridge : not like that . it 's a whole new level . steffy : did something happen ? ridge : i heard quinn 's side of the story . but yeah . it 's gon na be an all - out war , and we do n't want that . quinn : what are you doing in my living room , in my home ? oh , wait . no , do n't tell me . you 're here to bash me to my husband again . brooke : get over it , quinn . i have every right to demand to eric that shauna leave this property . quinn : she 's my friend , my guest , my home . brooke : this is eric 's home . quinn : no , actually , it 's ours . bottom line , it 's not yours . nothing here belongs to you , so you do n't get a say in what happens here . brooke : i 've spent more time in this house and with this family than you ever will . and i know eric better than you ever will . he 's so kind and caring and generous , but he does n't see your dark side , and i do n't know why after all of the horrible things that you 've done . but somehow you have convinced him that you have changed . quinn : i have . brooke : no , you have n't , quinn . i can see it . i see it in your eyes . you have that same look -- the look that you had when you knocked me down to the ground and you stood over me and you threatened me . you have that look again , almost as if you would do anything to hold on to your husband . but you know what ? quinn : [ sighs ] brooke : you 're right . you 're right . i did come here to talk to eric about shauna . but i also came here to talk to him about you , because i meant it when i said it . i will do whatever i have to do to protect eric from his crazy - ass wife . quinn : how dare you . eric has never been happier . we have a healthy , loving marriage . he 's been wonderful to me . i have been wonderful to him . brooke : oh , my god . you are trash , quinn . you 're nothing but trash , and i am not going to let you bring him down to your level . quinn : i warned you , brooke , not to make an enemy out of me . when people like you attack me , i 'm gon na attack back . brooke : is that a threat ? quinn : [ groans ] brooke : then go ahead . go ahead . take a hit . right here . show eric how crazy and dangerous you really are . you know , this is pathetic , and this is ridiculous . and the fact that you 're still up there by the fireplace makes me sick . i 'll make damn sure that that thing comes down and goes in the trash . and i 'll make damn sure that eric is so far away from you , and there 's nothing , nothing that you can do about it . | quinn visits ridge in his office to tell him about how brooke has been interfering in her marriage to eric . ridge asks quinn to take a step back and leave brooke alone because she 's not good at dealing with stress . he mentions her drinking problem , too . at the forrester mansion , eric tells brooke that he spoke to quinn about supporting brooke and ridge 's marriage , and that shauna has moved out . brooke , who has a container of what looks like orange juice with her , is happy to hear it but still thinks that eric needs to see that quinn has n't changed and is still dangerous . they argue . eric defends quinn and asks brooke to try to get along with her , but she refuses . he has to go to work , so he leaves her there . she says that she just has a couple of work emails to answer , and then she 'll leave . she stares at quinn 's painting over the mantle in disgust . quinn comes in behind her and says that it 's never coming down , so brooke should get over it . they argue about shauna leaving and how brooke is interfering in quinn 's marriage . they trade insults and brooke dares quinn to hit her . quinn looks like she 's very tempted to smack her again . |
massimo : i wish you 'd reconsider . ridge : sorry , massimo . but next time you see this ring , it 's gon na be on brooke 's finger . massimo : just do n't expect me to smile at the wedding . ridge : that 's okay . you 've got a little time to adjust . i 'm not intending to rush into anything . this is more of a commitment to commit . massimo : yeah . well , you say brooke is on her way here now ? ridge : yeah . with hope . i want the kids to be a part of this as well . massimo : well , you certainly have a monumental evening in front of you . i guess i 'd better get going . i have some business to take care of . ridge : you 'll see , massimo . brooke is everything in a partner i would expect . and a whole lot more , actually . massimo : you may be right . ridge : you really mean that ? massimo : ridge , i 'm a big believer in things turning out for the best . and i trust that 'll happen tonight .

stephanie : you betrayed us . you betrayed the whole family . why , for some little crush ? for some idea that you got in your head that i - i did n't respect your engagement ? pam : well -- stephanie : that gave -- wait a minute . that does n't give you the right to steal from us , pam . pam : no , but i was completely heartbroken , steph . and i was confused . i - i was really upset with you for not supporting my relationship with stephen . stephanie : but , i never interfered in that relationship . pam : ( scoffs ) stephanie : i - i did n't . did i ever try and break you up ? no . i let you be . pam : yeah , you let us be . you completely ignored us . stephanie : oh . pam : no , you tolerated us , maybe , at best . but you certainly never tried to make him feel welcome in this family . stephanie : i do n't like stephen . he does n't like me , all right ? i 'm sorry if i did n't make him welcome . i - i tried the best i could . pam , he did n't leave you because of me . it 's what he does . ask his two daughters . they know him . i 'm not responsible for his choices . he 's responsible for his own actions , just as you are , pam .

[ scene_break ] hope : did you tell your father ? steffy : what bill did ? no . i do n't see what good it would do telling anyone at this point . and liam does n't deserve the embarrassment . hope : no , i agree . i would love to tell the entire world what happened , but he 's liam 's dad , and i do n't want to damage that relationship more than it already has been . steffy : yep . okay , you know what 's really , really annoying ? hope : what ? steffy : oh , my god . i ca n't believe i 'm saying this . but you are actually kind of likeable . yeah , i said it . brooke : ridge , i -- is everything okay in here ? hope : mm - hmm . we 're fine . steffy : mm , yeah . no claws . see ? what , are you looking for dad ? brooke : ( sighs ) yes . there 's something i need to tell him . steffy : if it 's your usual complaint on how i 'm standing in the way of true love , you 'll be happy to know that i , um , moved back into my mom 's . brooke : what ? steffy : yep , i did . standing in the way no more . so if liam wants to break his marriage vows and run off into the sunset with hope , now 's his chance .

[ scene_break ] liam : i did n't vow to stay true to somebody who manipulates me , who hides things from me . i mean , is that honoring our marriage , ridge ? ridge : she 's insecure with men , liam , especially with you . that 's why she lied in the past , done some things she probably should n't have . but you do n't punish someone that you love just because they have insecurities . you help them through it . liam : okay , see , but that 's what i do n't understand . i mean , she 's -- she 's beautiful . she 's smart . she 's funny . she 's successful . steffy is the last person on the planet who should feel insecure . ridge : yeah , well ... i 'm probably to blame for that -- insecurities from her childhood and all . she feels like i walked out on her . i live with that guilt , but you do n't have to . look , liam , you 're not walking out on my daughter .

eric : yeah , i 'm still standing . and the flight home gave me time to think about what we were discussing before i left -- the future of the c.e.o . chair at forrester . thomas : now , you did it right , man . you took time off , you evaluated things , and you made sure it 's what you wanted . now you 're back in the game . zende : i got a lot of work ahead of me , but i 'm gon na make things right with nicole . thomas : what about work ?

what , uh , what is it ? you made a decision ? are you making me an offer ? eric : i want to make something clear before i say anything else . i 'm very pleased with steffy 's performance as c.e.o . quinn : yeah , she 's respected by the clients and well - liked by the employees . i know how hard that can be . eric : she brought a whole - new edge and , uh , electricity to the company . it 's been very exciting . ridge : but what ? that kind of energy is more effective when it 's grounded , maybe ? eric : and tempered by experience and your kind of talent , which is very nearly unparalleled anywhere else in the industry . ridge : i learned from the best . eric : you learned well . and you 're dedicated to the company . in spite of the fact you were passed over , you -- you stayed . quinn : i told him that was because you were being stubborn . eric : that 's not entirely true . quinn had some very insightful things to say about you . she 's very generous and compassionate . i look forward to the day when you see the same things in her that i do . she helped me see that the real lesson in all this is forgiveness . quinn : it 's the only way we can move forward . if we forgive each other and ourselves . ridge : i never meant to hurt you . eric : i was betrayed . i was disrespected . i thought i could no longer trust you , and i choose now -- i choose now not to think that way anymore . ridge : i do n't want that , either . eric : it 's time for us to move on . i loved it when you and i ran the company together , son . and you and your daughter running the company together as co - c.e.o.s , you 'll be unbeatable . ridge : we wo n't let you down . eric : no , i do n't think you will . ridge : thank you . eric : yeah . uh , i have n't said anything to steffy yet . ridge : if it 's all the same to you , maybe i can tell her . i want her to understand how much i appreciate you supporting me and forgiving me . i ca n't thank you enough . eric : the person you should thank is quinn . steffy : i wish everyone was happy for me as you are , nicole . my brother 's having issues with my promotion . nicole : yeah , i 'm sure he is . but working with you and watching you , i see how hard you work . you 're accomplished . you deserve to run this company . steffy : i just do n't want thomas to feel like he 's being overlooked . thomas : i mean , we put in all this effort and all this work , and what 's the payoff ? zende : come on . it 's not for nothing . thomas : i want to believe that . i do . but look at steffy , right ? this big social influencer . she 's gon na be hot for six months and then gone . it 's all gon na be gone . me , on the other hand , i 've been working hard for years . i 've studied under my father . [ chuckles ] and i 've proved myself countless times as a designer . zende : you 're a damn good one , too , man . do n't forget it . thomas : i just hope nobody else forgets that . zende : [ sighs ] hang in there , man . thomas : hey , do n't worry about it , man . i got it . zende : you sure ? thomas : yeah . zende : all right . thomas : see ya , man . cheer up , bucko . you are way too handsome to be wearing a sourpuss like that . steffy : hey , dad . what 's up ? ridge : your grandfather 's back from his trip . i just saw him at the house , saw him and quinn . steffy : is everything okay ? ridge : yeah , um ... just talking about the business , and your grandfather wants to make some changes on the executive level . that 's what i want to discuss with you . steffy : what kind of changes ? ridge : good changes , i think . a good change , i hope . he wants me to be co - c.e.o . with you . nicole : i just updated the website , so text me if the links are n't live .

[ camera shutter clicks ] nicole : i do n't think that 's appropriate talk for the office . zende : good idea . you know , we could always take this conversation somewhere else . nicole : i thought you were still out of town . zende : could n't stay away . had to come back . i missed you too much . what a shame . a specimen like you moping into his drink . with a face like that , you should be lighting up a room . you know , maybe another drink will help ? what 's your poison ? thomas : i 'm good , thanks . too depressed to have a drink with a pretty girl . wow , you are in bad shape . thomas : [ sighs ] sorry . you 're , uh , you 're trying to be nice . i , uh , i see that . yeah . yeah , i am , and i do n't do it very often , so ... thomas : well , i appreciate the effort . it 's , uh , it 's refreshing , but whatever you 're gon na try and do is not gon na change my mood . challenge accepted . so , tell me , bucko , what 's got you down ? thomas : usual . money troubles ? thomas : nope . internet trolls hacked your sexy selfies . thomas : no . it 's family issues . oh , wow . yeah . there 's something i know about . thomas : oh , wow . it 's more business . you said family . thomas : yeah , well , business is family . oh , yeah ? what line of work ? thomas : fashion . eric : how do you think she 's gon na react ? quinn : well , steffy took the c.e.o . job to bring the family together . sharing the position with ridge is just another step in that direction . eric : thank you . thank you for suggesting it and for reminding me of the power of forgiveness . steffy : granddad gave you my job ? ridge : no , he did not . you 're still c.e.o . you 've been here a short while . you 've already put a great mark on this company . and i know thomas has a chip on his shoulder about it , and ricky , well , he 's -- he 's never happy . but yes , you 're still c.e.o . steffy : co - c.e.o . with you . ridge : we 'll be a team . steffy : wait , how is that gon na work ? i 'm gon na handle business and you 're gon na handle production ? ridge : we 're gon na work all that out . that 's not why i 'm here . we 're gon na discuss all that later . the reason i 'm here is 'cause i do n't want you to think that you 're -- you 're being demoted for any reason . they do n't want you to think that i 'm brought in because you ca n't handle it , because you can . steffy : `` they `` ? who 's `` they `` ? ridge : dad and quinn . it was her idea . steffy : quinn asked granddad to promote you ? ridge : granddad made the decision , but quinn talked to him about it , the same way she talked to him about you being c.e.o . , yes . steffy : so granddad forgave you ? ridge : finally the family 's back together , and he wants us to lead this company into the future . steffy : [ sighs ] ridge : i know , steffy . i know . i know this is n't -- this is n't easy , but we can do this . you know , your innovation , my insight . i 'm still gon na be head designer of this company . we can take this place to new heights . i was running forrester before you were born . and i have relationships , i 've built relationships , a reputation . and dad thinks that we could complement each other . i agree with him . the fact that dad is forgiving me , that he 's trying to trust me again , that 's -- that 's a big deal . and working with you the way that i used to work with dad , that -- that makes me really , really happy . i know you were n't expecting this . but here we are . what do you think ? steffy : [ sighs ] zende : i know i messed up . i 'll always regret hurting you . nicole : you do n't have to keep apologizing , zende . zende : it 's just , you know , sometimes it 's hard to know what else to say . i still love you , nicole . maybe that 's not what you want to hear , either , but it 's true . hell , it 's the only thing i know for sure . these feelings wo n't change . they wo n't go away . you are it for me . and i wo n't give up on us again . now , i know these are just words , and words are n't enough . you want me to show you . you want me to prove to you how much i love you . i will . i 'm fighting for us , nicole . i 'm fighting for our relationship and our future . ridge : i want you to be honest with me . if we ca n't be c.e.o . together , that 's okay . i 'll make a phone call right now . steffy : [ sighs ] i 'd be honored to share my title with you . ridge : you would ? steffy : are you kidding ? i heard all the stories about you and granddad , how you guys challenged each other and inspired each other . i would love to work with you that way . father - daughter running this company . of course i 'd want that . ridge : i want that , too . steffy : you know , being c.e.o . , it was a huge challenge for me , but i was ready for it because everything you taught me . ridge : now i 'm ready to learn from you . steffy : i ca n't wait to start . ridge : wow . spoken like a natural - born leader . steffy : yep . when do you think granddad 's gon na make it official ?

[ wind howling ] if i had n't passed out when i did , would our beth still be with us ? ridge : you did n't have to do that . hope : liam would n't have gone if i didn't . brooke : liam is n't phoebe 's father . hope : yeah , well , ridge was n't my father , but he helped raise me . ridge : and i 'm still here for you . you know that , right ? hope : well , liam should be there for kelly and phoebe . brooke : honey , what you 're doing is incredibly brave . ridge : and seeing steffy like this , i know it ca n't be easy for you . hope : you 're right . i would n't wish this pain on anyone . but i will not begrudge steffy one ounce of joy that she 's feeling today . yeah , i ca n't be a mother to my daughter , but i can at least find some peace in knowing that a sweet , innocent little child has found someone to be a wonderful , loving mother . steffy : kelly still sleeping ? taylor : yeah . put this one on phoebe 's crib . steffy : oh , it 's perfect . i love that they 're gon na grow up together sharing a room , just like phoebe and i did . taylor : oh , yes . whispering all night long . going under the covers with a flashlight , telling secrets . steffy : we did that more often than you knew . taylor : oh , yes . i know . steffy : [ chuckles ] taylor : i knew it . i just used to love standing outside of your bedroom door , and just listening to you two little girls giggle .

[ chuckles ] and it 's just the first day . i mean , ridge said your mom would be helping . steffy : yeah , she 's -- she 's done so much . i wanted to give kelly a sister from the moment she was born . and my mom made it happen . liam : well , you 're the reason this makes sense . i mean , i -- i can see already the way that you love her . it 's ... i think kelly and phoebe are really , really lucky to have a chance to grow up together . i mean , that is ... it 's a gift , steffy . that 's your gift to them , and ... it 's the first of many . steffy : [ scoffs ] liam : [ sighs ] they have such an adventure ahead , do n't they ?

steffy : i know quinn has n't been overly friendly with any of the logan sisters , but an all - out war ? with brooke ? ridge : it 's , um ... steffy : dad ? what 's going on ? ridge : you know , there 's some things that happened between , uh , shauna and me , and brooke thinks that quinn was encouraging it . steffy : do i really wan na know ? why do i have a bad feeling about this ? ridge : it 's not -- it 's not ... bad . it 's just shauna and i , we -- we kissed more than once . brooke : i guess you did n't learn anything about my influence over eric . i wanted shauna gone . you wanted her here . but guess what . she 's gone . history is very important , quinn , and eric and i share a ton of it . quinn : you are right . it is important . what 's that saying about it ? uh ... `` we have to learn from history so we do n't repeat it . `` brooke : so you think you 're learning something from shauna 's ousting . you do n't think you 're gon na have to pack your bags and leave . well , you will have to . you 're the next to go , and you have yourself to blame . dr. pappas : it sounds like you 've been under a considerable amount of stress . sally : that 's putting it mildly . it 's probably all this is , right ? stress causing my hands to shake . dr. pappas : could be . yes . these dizzy spells you 're talking about -- how often are they coming on ? sally : um , a few times a day . but they 're getting more frequent . what do you think is wrong ? dr. pappas : well , let 's run a few tests and see what we can find out . [ tap on door ] katie : hey . wyatt : hey . katie : have you seen bill ? wyatt : uh , he 's -- he 's , uh , at a meeting somewhere in the valley . katie : oh , great . i ca n't wait to hear about traffic . wyatt : yeah . i should just send it . i 'm gon na send him a text . [ cellphone whines ] katie : to who ? wyatt : uh , to sally . katie : why would you be debating sending a text to sally ? wyatt : well , uh , it , uh , did n't go over well when i told her about flo . katie : wait a second . did my little gathering help ? wyatt : yeah . i think it 's safe to say that flo and i are back together or at least working towards it . katie : oh , i 'm so glad . breaking up with sally probably was n't easy , though , right ? wyatt : no . no , it wasn't . um , actually , i 'm - i 'm kinda worried about her . i 'm worried about how sally 's taking it . katie : sally 's a big girl . i do n't see her as the type of person that would let a breakup send her into a depression . wyatt : yeah , well , you 're assuming that she 's accepting the breakup . it 's not the case . katie : oh . yikes . wyatt : yeah . hence my concern . i -- i care about sally so much . i just -- i hate that i 'm the one that 's hurting her . you know ? i was just -- i do n't know . i 'm hoping for a response , or maybe i do n't deserve one . i do n't know . i just ... i hope she 's -- i hope she 's doing okay . dr. pappas : need to make a phone call ? it 's fine . sally : no . uh , no . it 's just a ... text from ... a friend . so , what do we do ? how do we figure this out ? dr. pappas : well , i 'd like to approach this one step at a time . so step one is drawing blood . maybe that will tell us what we need to know . steffy : you 've been kissing shauna ? ridge : couple of times . yes . steffy : do i have to remind you what that woman and her daughter did to me ? ridge : no , you don't . steffy : do i have to remind you that you 're still technically married ? ridge : you do n't have & to remind me of anything . i know , and brooke and i , we 're trying to figure it out . she 's pretty hurt . steffy : yeah , i bet . i 'm guessing she tore into shauna . ridge : not just shauna . she thinks quinn is to blame for most of it . quinn : you know , i should record all of the terrible things you say about me so i could play them back for eric . brooke : fine , quinn . do it . please . i would like eric to see how fiercely i defend him and how much i wan na protect him , especially from a black widow like you . i will get eric to see the kind of person you really are . your days are numbered as mrs . eric forrester . wyatt : i know it sounds cliché , but i still wyatt : i know it sounds cliché , but i still wan na be friends with sally . i do n't wan na lose her completely from my life . katie : she 's not gon na let that happen . wyatt : i do n't know . she was really upset , katie . katie : well , the hurt is n't gon na go away overnight . you have to accept that . but nothing keeps sally spectra down for long . that girl 's a survivor . dr. pappas : hang tight , okay ? since we had to squeeze you into the schedule , i have a few patients ahead of you . it might take a while before i get someone to draw your blood . sally : okay . thank you . ridge : i knew brooke was going to be upset . i just did n't figure out how upset she would be . and how do i not know that ? quinn and brooke , they never get along . steffy : honestly , is there anyone who has always gotten along with quinn ? i 've certainly had issues with her in the past . ridge : we 've all had . in the past . that 's the key word , right ? we have n't done battle with her in a long time . steffy : yeah , because she 's changed . being with granddad softened her , i guess . or so it appears . ridge : she 's never gon na be unicorns and ... butterflies and balloons and stuff , right ? but at least she 's not gon na be the cold , calculated woman she was when we met her . steffy : depends on your perspective . according to brooke , quinn has n't changed . quinn : i 'm not trying to orchestrate a plot to undermine your marriage . why would i ? when you 're so good at destroying your marriages on your own . the only marriage that 's being undermined right now is mine , by you , and i wo n't have it . eric is happy . just let us be . brooke : no . i was looking the other way for way too long . i thought maybe you were better . maybe you 'd changed . but you know what ? people do n't change . they just get better at hiding who they really are . quinn : i 'm sorry . are you still a drunken mess ? are you -- are you drowning your sorrows in a bottle ? brooke : you know i do n't drink anymore , quinn . quinn : oh , there you go . proof . people change . people grow . i certainly have . you have to let go of this fantasy that i 'm this evil genius trying to keep ridge away from you . brooke : genius , no . but evil , yes . and i 'm gon na make sure that eric sees that . quinn : wh - what happens if you do , okay ? we 're still going to be in each other 's lives even if you 're able to get eric to leave me . our families are so intertwined , brooke , especially now that my son is back together with your niece . brooke : wyatt is seeing flo again ? quinn : yes . brooke : oh , god . that 's a mistake . quinn : why would you say that ? flo is great for him . brooke : no , she 's not actually . and she 's no longer a part of my life . yes , she is my niece , but we do n't have a relationship , not anymore . quinn : she gave your sister a kidney . brooke : that does n't absolve her . and i wish she was n't here in los angeles . she should go back to the desert with her mother where they belong . and i do n't understand why wyatt is n't angry with her after what she did to his brother . quinn : because he forgave her just like katie did . and i do n't want you going over to him and trying to talk to him about this . it 's bad enough you 're interfering in my marriage . i do n't want you interfering in his relationship . brooke : i 'm interfering in your marriage because i care about eric . quinn : he 's clearly happy being married to me . he 's told you that . i 've told you that . you -- you have to drop this ridiculous crusade . look , brooke , you do n't have to like me , you know . we can go back to just faking it , okay ? we can just exchange pleasantries at the office , at family gatherings like we always have . it 's what eric needs . it 's what this family needs . brooke : and what if i ca n't ? quinn : then you 'll regret it . go up against me , and you will lose . [ cellphone chimes ] wyatt : let me guess . dad complaining about the traffic ? katie : no . just a reminder about an appointment i got to get to . wyatt : hmm . katie : i can reschedule if you need a friendly ear . wyatt : no . um , i 've talked yours off long enough . uh , and thank you for the support and for the push into forgiving flo . it 's just this situation with sally is ... katie : but you had to do it . wyatt : i know . i did . it 's just -- it 's hard . katie : do n't worry . everything is gon na work out just fine , even for sally , okay ? you just got to trust that she 's gon na be okay . [ cellphone chimes ] brooke : oh , so now you 're threatening me again ? quinn : i 'm not threatening you . you come into my home and you attack me and you attack my marriage , and you expect me to say nothing ? i love my husband . i love this family , and i 'm gon na do everything i can to defend my place in it . brooke : that 's just the problem . you do n't know your place in it . you had no right to send shauna after my husband . quinn : [ laughs ] brooke : and do you really think eric wants his wife running around doing stuff like that ? quinn : brooke , i feel so sorry for you . it 's got ta be so hard knowing that your marriage is over . and it 's got ta feel horrible knowing that ridge is enjoying the company of another woman so soon after moving out . brooke : oh , god . quinn : but , you know , blaming me , it 's a cop - out . those are your mistakes . you took off your ring . you pushed ridge away , but you refused to take any responsibility for this . you wan na blame me . you wan na blame shauna . [ sighs ] but it 's gon na stop . i 'm warning you . i do n't want to fight with you , brooke . it 's unnecessary . but i will . and if you do n't stop , i 'm going to get ridge and eric , everyone one else to take my side , and they will . i guarantee it . nurse : sally ? sally : hi . nurse : just wan na let you know someone will be in soon , okay ? sally : okay . nurse : thanks for your patience . we 're just a little backed up . sally : yeah , of course . katie : oh . sally . sally : katie . katie : hi . nurse : i did n't realize you had someone waiting for you . you 're welcome to stay . the magazines in the waiting room are so outdated . katie : no . i -- i 'm ... actually , do you have a minute ? sally : uh , sure . katie : i , um -- i heard about you and wyatt , and i just wanted to say i 'm sorry . sally : do n't be . jury 's still out on whether or not we 're breaking up , so ... katie : well , i was just with him , and he clearly cares about you a lot . sally : cares about me enough to leave me , just like everyone else . why are you here anyway ? katie : are you kidding ? when am i not here for a checkup or a follow - up or something ? you 're lucky that this is n't your home away from home like it is mine . sally : yeah . lucky me . katie : um , why are you here ? sally : just a checkup . some people drown their sorrows when their fiancé tries dumping them , but i prefer physicals . katie : okay . well , i guess i can pretend to believe that . if there is something going on , sometimes it helps to talk about it . sally : that 's just the thing . i do n't , uh , know what 's actually going on with me . i -- i just feel like there 's something wrong ... medically , and i 'm ... a little scared . katie : well , then it 's a good thing i walked by because if anyone knows about being scared in the hospital , it 's me . um , i 'm here . i mean , uh , i can -- i can stay if you want me to . steffy : i do n't think you have to worry . i 'm sure brooke will unleash a little , and quinn will put in a dig or two , but it wo n't get out of hand . ridge : i hope you 're right . brooke is going through so much right now . the last thing she needs is a war with quinn . brooke : you really think you could do anything to turn eric and ridge against me ? oh , yes . you do , because you are quinn fuller . you manipulate till you get whatever the hell you want . quinn : i will admit that quinn fuller might have had a few momentarily lapses in judgment , but quinn forrester not so much . brooke : well , but you 're still quinn fuller . i can see it . you 're as dangerous and devious as ever . and this little plot that you had with shauna ? that was you just dipping your toes into deception . and it felt good , did n't it ? so what do you wan na do next ? you wan na push me off a cliff ? quinn : stop it , brooke . brooke : or push me down the stairs . or maybe you wan na lock me in a cabin . quinn : just stop it , brooke . brooke : why do n't you stop it ? stop pretending that you belong here . just embrace yourself , okay ? embrace that manipulator inside of you . let her out . you 'll be free . you 'll be happy . just do it away from me and away from the people that i love .

[ scene_break ] taylor : i wish i could see the look on liam 's face when you tell him . steffy : i 'll probably have to pick him up off the floor . taylor : did you tell your father ? steffy : no . taylor : why not ? steffy : because he 's been dealing with a lot . and i 'm kind of overwhelmed , too . taylor : well , of course , especially after what happened before you left . but at least , you know , now that you 're back , you do seem like you 're a little bit more at ease . steffy : yeah . the closer we get to this big moment , i feel like everything has been building up to this . liam has had his chance to resolve things with hope , and we 're having fun . we 're enjoying life . we 're enjoying our freedom , but i think we 're ready for the next step . and you 're gon na be a grandmother . taylor : [ chuckles ] i 'm so happy for you ... and for me .

[ scene_break ] liam : hey , you ought to be going , brooke . i mean , steffy 's gon na be here any minute . brooke : yeah , i just want you to think about something . there was a time not too long ago when all you wanted was to marry hope . you did n't want anybody else , and your dream came true . and then we all went to italy . [ chuckles ] liam : yeah , that was an incredible week . brooke : you two have some great memories ... running through those quaint villages , those little brick streets that were winding around and the beaches , the olive groves . you had some precious moments . oh , and remember those kites ? oh , those beautiful kites up in the sky . brooke : and you were so happy , happier than i 've ever seen you in your life . and hope , too . she was very happy . and the two of you said your vows together that day . and you looked at her , and , liam , you meant everything you said . i know . i was there . i saw it . i listened . i watched . and in god 's eye and in your own , you and hope were one . [ cell phone ringing ] brooke : oh , gosh . sorry . oh , i 've really got to take this . um , why do n't you just go outside and just relax and breathe and let it all out , and you know what ? it 'll come to you . you 'll know what to do . [ cell phone beeps ] [ scene_break ] rick : so my sister 's life is about to start anew . does that mean i get to look forward to yet another killer wedding ? hope : no . no , i can never outdo puglia . rick : ah , italy . i thought you were trying to ... erase that from your memory ? hope : i was . i was not successful . [ chuckles ] rick : why ? it was too painful ? hope : uh , no , it was more the opposite , actually . i know that those are memories i will never forget . you know , all the bad stuff that happened , i think that i 've -- i 've been able to block it out , not think about it . but as for the rest ... i would n't trade any of it . liam made me feel so cherished and adored , and that is something that steffy can never take away from me . he loved me so much when we were in italy . it was like every moment we were together was just this sublime happiness . and we exchanged our vows , and , rick , i will never forget the way he looked at me . he looks at me that way now . i think he always will .

[ scene_break ] steffy : liam ? i 'm home ! [ chuckles ] | liam tells brooke that she is not telling him anything he does n't know . brooke says good , then do something about it as steffy will be here any moment . he is not tied to steffy in any way and he does not love hope any less so there is nothing to stop them getting their life back together . as always before , liam laments that it is not just her incredible daughter , but there are two great women . brooke agrees , but hope was his first choice and they can still have a wonderful life together . he just needs to tell steffy and let her move on . despite her saying steffy is on her way , she keeps leading liam down the garden path by reminding him of so much that happened in italy . taylor tells steffy that hope has not stopped pursuing liam . she knows rick will not like it when he hears about thomas being vp . she just hopes this is not being spurred on by brooke . she 's counting on liam giving steffy a ring as the baby will make a difference . steffy confides in taylor what she saw the day she flew to paris . things have changed ever since the truth came out . she wants liam to get hope out of his system , but she is n't going to make it easy on him . she could never live with herself if she trapped him with a baby . it wo n't be the only reason they stay together . this baby 's mother and father will always be family and she is certain of that . hope tells rick that it is moving day . steffy is coming back and hopefully she is moving out of liam 's . rick still regrets his part in liam and hope separating in the first place . she agrees she is not completely over that , but will be as long as he never does it again . liam looks at her differently now and she thinks they deserve a second chance . what steffy has might be tempting , but it does n't compare . she would n't trade any of her memories in italy , but she is not planning another killer wedding this time . |

[ chuckles ] i mean , the guy 's got to be off his rocker . thomas : it really is over between you and liam , huh ? steffy : seems that way . thomas : it 's unbelievable . and he 's gone without any explanation at all ? how are you handling it , steff ? steffy : just trying to move on . thomas : i know that 's got to be hard , knowing how much you 've invested into that relationship . steffy : yeah . now it 's time for me to just forget all that . thomas : can you ? wyatt : i mean , it 's hard to believe that he 's gone . quinn : for the moment , wyatt . wyatt : liam made it pretty clear that he 's moving on . i 'm just -- i 'm just wondering if he 's still in town . quinn : well , you know your brother . i mean , he can be so unpredictable . wyatt : unpredictable ? my brother ? have you met him ? you can read him like a map . [ scoffs ] when has he done something that ever surprised you ? all he had to do was show up . steffy was waiting , and if he could n't even do that and just show up and see her , like , what does that tell you ? he 's had it . quinn : well , then make your move . do n't drag your feet . do whatever is necessary to secure your future with steffy , because you do n't know how long liam is gon na be off the grid . wyatt : no . no . everything is moving just fine right now , okay ? quinn : wyatt . wyatt : no , i 'm building something here , and it 's just gon na take some time , okay ? quinn : yeah , but you may not have any time . and if i could keep liam away from you forever , i would . wyatt : no , no , no . do n't even go there . that is not necessary , all right ? look , the time we 've spent together , it 's great . for the first time , steffy sees me without liam even there . it 's just -- it 's just her and me . that 's it . and -- and we 're gon na build on that one day at a time . sure , i 'd love liam to stay wherever the hell he is right now so we can just have some more time to get to know each other , but no . no , you 're out of the loop , mom . it 's the steffy and wyatt show , and that is it . like , your concern is greatly appreciated as always , but no . there 's nothing more you can do for me . quinn : honey , i just -- i want this so badly for you . i know how much this girl means to you . wyatt : i -- quinn : you know . you know that i would do anything to make you happy . thomas : okay . so you 're moving on . someone in particular ? wow . this guy must be something special to get you to move on from liam that quickly . steffy : no , no , i 'm not -- i 'm not over liam . this person just showed me a way through the pain . he 's pretty extraordinary . thomas : to lead you out of that mess ? i 'd say he 's a damn miracle worker . so , how 'd this come about ? steffy : he taught me something . something i should have known a long time ago . despite my love for liam , my commitment , and the thought of losing him , i just need to face the horrible truth . thomas : that it 's just not gon na work out . steffy : he ended it with a text . after everything we 've been through , how -- how do you do that ? how do you treat someone like that ? thomas : steff , i want you to wipe this guy off the bottom of your boots and move on . i do n't want to see you hurt again , all right ? so tell me about this new guy . what 's he like ? what 's his name ? steffy : you promise you wo n't throw anything at me ? thomas : only if his last name is spencer . steffy : it is . it 's wyatt spencer . quinn : [ sighs ] hey .

[ chuckles ] well , that is a good sign . liam : i 'm sorry . quinn : no , do n't apologize . you have n't eaten in a long time . here . [ chuckles ] liam : i 'm still -- i 'm still really out of it . quinn : no memory yet ? liam : i keep trying . quinn : well , you should n't . there 's no reason to strain yourself so soon . it 'll come . liam : why ? quinn : `` why ? `` [ chuckles ] why what ? liam : why do you care so much ? quinn : because you need help , and i 'm in a position to do something . liam : that 's so kind . quinn : [ chuckles ] no one 's ever accused me of that before . liam : i think , uh ... i think i 'd like to stay here . with you . get better , if that 's okay . quinn : yeah . yeah , i - i think that 's exactly what you should do . so -- so when i went off to work , you did n't -- you did n't go anywhere , right ? liam : would n't know where to go . still have so many questions . quinn : yeah . there 'll be time for that . liam : everything 's so confusing and ... disconnected . but i do n't feel disconnected from you . i ca n't thank you enough . quinn : uh , trust me . you have thanked me enough . liam : what is it ? quinn : um ... well , no one 's ever really ... touched me like that before . [ clears throat ] um ... we ca n't do this . [ chuckles ] you do n't know what you 're doing . um ... i 'm gon na go get you some more water , okay ? wyatt : so , thomas did n't like it very much , did he ? steffy : he 's a little shocked . wyatt : i meant what i said to your brother . that 's gon na be my go - to stump speech . steffy : oh , really ? are you running for something ? wyatt : yeah , your vote of confidence . look , steffy , you deserve to be treated with respect and like the gorgeous woman that you are . and look , if you want me by your side , i would never leave it . be my mission to make you happy . steffy : i do n't know . i 'm kind of a handful . wyatt : yeah ? steffy : hmm . wyatt : i would hope so . i would n't want you any other way . look , i would never try and change you . that 's the biggest difference between me and liam . look , i know you 're still struggling with this whole thing , like liam breaking up with you over texts , not showing up . i mean , who does that ? that 's -- that 's terrible . but i 'm here for you . you could look at it this way . we can get through it . together . and when we do , i promise that you will never feel that kind of pain . not with me . not ever . [ keypad beeping ] liam : [ gasps ] ohh ! quinn : i warned you ! he 's gon na hate me now more than ever . okay , okay , okay . i just ... i just need to give wyatt and steffy just a little bit more time . come on , quinn . once a wimp , always a wimp . no , no , this is crazy . no , no , this is crazy . | quinn shows back up at the office and grills wyatt about being with steffy . he jokes that he is not one to kiss and tell . aha , there is something to tell , she is hopeful . he says liam is moving on so he does n't even know if he is in town or not . quinn recommends that he makes his move as wyatt does not know how long liam will be off the grid . he says for the first time it is just him and steffy without liam and he is not going to blow it by rushing her . angrily steffy tells thomas that liam ended it all with a text . he says he does not want her hurt again . but he gets angry too when he finds out she has moved on and has feelings for another spencer , wyatt . she says wyatt is very special and she never realized it before so they are there to help each other . he tells thomas that he is going to show steffy how to be treated and he would never abandon her . |
brooke : honey [ sighs ] talk to me . hope : i 'm okay , mom . ridge : maybe i should have waited to tell her , you know ? hope : no . no , it 's fine . steffy has adopted a little girl , and now kelly has a new little sister . phoebe . i 'm happy for them . liam is , too . brooke : that was very sweet of you , to insist that he go over there and be there with his daughter and her new sister . hope : mom , liam had a family with steffy even before i got pregnant with beth , so ... [ inhales sharply ] liam should be there . to welcome phoebe to her new home and her new family . liam : hi . steffy : little phoebe 's settled right into your arms . liam : [ chuckles ] it 's funny . i al -- i already see a resemblance . i do n't mean a physical resemblance , i just ... her eyes . her eyes are so ... the way that she looks at me reminds me of how kelly looked at me when i first held her , you know ? i know i 'm being silly . i - i -- i just ... steffy : no , no . you 're not being silly . you 're being a dad . liam , i - i meant what i said . yes , i 've adopted phoebe on my own . but she is and always will be your daughter . reese : so , everything went as planned signing the adoption paperwork ? flo : it went off without a hitch . i was a little nervous -- or , actually , very nervous , given everything at stake . reese : but you covered , though , right ? no red flags ? flo : i did , yes . it 's done . you 're in the clear . or at least i assume that you are ? reese : yeah . paid off my debt . every last cent . my daughter is finally safe . flo : i 'm glad . i know how much zoe means to you . reese : everything i did , i did for her . to keep her out of harm 's way . i would have never , ever crossed the lines i did -- morally or ethically -- otherwise . flo : i know . i 'm happy for you . but you do n't -- you do n't seem too happy for you . flo : is that what i think it is ? reese : like i said [ sighs ] i paid off all my debts with $ 50,000 to spare . flo : should i count it ? i 'm kidding , reese . i trust you . reese : look , i 'm really sorry that i got you involved in all this . but those thugs were going to do something really horrible to my daughter if i did n't come up with the money . flo : hey . do n't , okay ? i am far from perfect myself . we 've all done things . i mean , admittedly nothing quite like this , but ... it 's -- it 's over now . life goes on . better for some than others . $ 50,000 to give one woman a child while robbing another of her baby . brooke : honey , we all know what you 've been through , and how much you 're still going through . but if you 're just saying that you 're okay with liam being over at steffy 's with their daughter and the new baby , then -- ridge : we would all understand . steffy most of all . and , yes , she wanted that baby , but the timing is ... [ sighs ] it -- it just has n't -- has n't been a long time s -- hope : you can say it , ridge . since beth was taken from us . ridge : you 're still healing . so is liam . hope : yeah , exactly . and holding a new little girl in his arms will -- no child will ever replace beth for us . i 'm just acknowledging what is . beth is gone . and , sure , on some level , knowing that steffy has a baby girl and i do n't have mine , it hurts . but i wo n't deny their family this once - in - a- lifetime moment . steffy : i thought i heard kelly , but she 's still in dreamland . liam : little does she know her life is about to change in a big way . steffy : all of our lives are . liam : i can picture it now , kelly and phoebe just ganging up on us . steffy : ganging up on you , you mean ... liam : [ chuckles ] steffy : ... and wrapping you around their fingers . liam : i know . steffy : from the moment i laid eyes on her , it just felt right . liam : that 's 'cause it is right . i mean , kelly now has the -- the sister that you wanted her to have . and she 's gon na grow up having that special connection that you had with yours . steffy : mm - hmm . best of all , this sweet little baby whose biological father wants nothing to do with her has a loving , caring father right here . reese : okay . i love you , too , sweetheart . more than you know . all right . bye . flo : zoe ? reese : yeah . checking up on her old man . flo : sweet kid . reese : if i could take even the tiniest bit of credit ... but , uh , you , uh -- you want to count that , make sure it 's all there ? flo : no , actually , what i really want to do is , i want to dump it all on the floor and roll around in it , naked . reese : [ chuckles ] flo : but i 'll try to restrain myself . reese : what ? flo : that 's not true . what i just said . it 's -- [ sighs ] it just -- it makes it -- it makes it sound like it 's , like , a good thing . but i just -- i ca n't help thinking , this kind of just feels like it 's blood money . but i really do need the cash . reese : you take every last dollar . go live your life and forget this happened . you helped me safeguard my daughter . and we still made sure that that little girl has a safe , happy home . hope : i wonder how it 's going over at steffy 's . with the new baby . ridge : i 'm sure steffy , uh , is doing the best for phoebe to settle in . hope : well , how much do they know about the birth mother ? i mean , does phoebe look like her , or ... ? ridge : i , uh ... i do n't know . i know steffy met her , but that 's ... brooke : why do you ask ? hope : i just remember holding beth for the first time . searching her face , trying to find a little bit of me or liam . and i was just wondering if she had her mother 's eyes or -- i 'm sorry . i do n't -- i do n't know why i brought that up . uh ... all that matters now is that steffy is her mother . brooke : [ sighs ] sweetheart ... all these questions , and searching for answers ... you know , maybe it would help if you go over there and meet phoebe . steffy : phoebe and kelly are sleeping like -- liam ? liam : [ inhales ] sorry . did -- did she go down without a fuss ? steffy : yeah , yeah . i sang her a lullaby , and she was out . it 's a big day for a little girl . liam : yeah , it was . steffy : what will you tell her ? liam : who ? steffy : hope . she has to know you 're here . liam : oh , y - yeah . no , yeah , she 's the one who encouraged me to come . liam : she , um -- she thought i should be here for kelly when we welcome her new sister into the family . i was -- when i was holding phoebe , i was -- you know , i was thinking about beth . and it 's so strange . it 's like ... you know , i - i only got to hold her that once ... my sweet little girl . steffy : i 'm sorry , liam . maybe this is too soon for you . liam : no , no -- oh , no . that 's not what i was -- no . i -- heh ... hope is right . i - i -- i should be here with kelly on phoebe 's first day with her new family . and i 'm -- and i 'm glad i am . steffy : phoebe will be , too . when she 's old enough to understand . but you 're dealing with a horrible loss , liam . little beth -- liam : will always be in my heart . but , um ... i ca n't -- i ca n't get her back . and now there 's phoebe , and ... when i look at phoebe , i - i -- i see joy . i see life . i see the future . and that -- and that 's good . i do n't want my sadness over beth to cloud what happened today . i mean , this -- this was a miracle . phoebe is a miracle . she 's such a gift to you and kelly . steffy : to you , too , liam . flo : you going somewhere ? reese : yes . london . flo : for how long ? you 're not coming back , are you ? it 's for the best . flo : [ scoffs ] i do n't think your daughter would agree with that . reese : flo , you know me . you know my history . trouble follows me . i do n't want my actions to endanger my daughter again . i love zoe too damn much . flo : okay . well , then ... what if i went with you ? you know , i 've never been to jolly old england . we could , uh -- we could travel together , you could play tour guide , we could spend some of that money . it 'll be fun . reese : i thought you had bills to pay off ? flo : you do n't want me tagging along , do you ? reese : what i want is for you to be happy . i want you to find a man who wo n't pull you down into his messiness like i have . someone who will respect you and -- and be there for you in a way that i can't . if you want to make a fresh start , pay off your debts , keep the apartment . i 've got the lease for a while . flo : it 's not gon na be the same around here without you . i 'll probably die of boredom . reese : [ chuckles ] you and i have gone through something powerful and life- changing together . we share a secret . a secret that will stay with us and only us forever . flo , no one can ever know what happened . especially not the baby 's real mother . brooke : it 's totally up to you , sweetheart . i 'm not pushing anything . but if you do want to see baby phoebe -- ridge : you do n't think that maybe this is a little too soon ? brooke : no . what do you think ? is it ? hope : honestly , i do n't know . i mean , if i go over there today and meet steffy 's little girl , yeah , it -- it might be too much for me . it might make me feel the loss of beth even more than i already do . but at the same time , i 'm also aware of the fact that this is kelly 's little sister . and prolonging it might just make it even harder when i finally do meet phoebe . ridge : well , just -- just know that you do n't have to rush any of this . brooke : well , i agree . if you 're not ready , honey , it 's fine , really . hope : no . if it gets to be too much , i can just leave . i think i need to do this . i need to do it for myself . and i need to do it for beth . today is the day and it 's gon na be great . ridge : for what it 's worth , i think hope made the right choice . brooke : so do i . but i still ca n't help worrying . ridge : of course you can't . you 're her mother . it 's part of the territory . brooke : like it 's any easier for fathers ? ridge : it 's not . i mean , she is my daughter , in a way . and to see this happen to her , to have her heart ripped out like that ... i do n't -- i do n't want that for anybody . i -- but maybe this -- this kid , maybe this little baby ... will be a s - step away from this grief that she 's feeling and towards healing . i would like that . brooke : i love how you care about my daughter . and that you 're sensitive to her feelings . and i 'm really impressed with hope , too . that even in her grief , she is showing her goodness by putting the children first . ridge : beth is always gon na be part of their lives . it 's never gon na change . liam : well -- well , thank you for ... including me . steffy : liam , you 're always welcome here . you know that . liam : yeah , i do . steffy : you 're already so wonderful with phoebe . [ knock on door ] liam : oh . hope : is it okay ? liam : yeah . steffy : y - y - yeah , of course it 's okay . come on in . hope : um ... i - i felt like i should stop by . i heard the news . i mean , it 's so amazing . heh . steffy : yeah . i - it all happened so fast . i assumed adoption would take months . but then , out of the blue , it just -- it happened . i - i would n't have pursued it given the loss we 're all dealing with -- hope : i understand . a child , no matter the timing , is -- is an extraordinary gift . [ phoebe cries on monitor ] is that ... ? steffy : it 's -- it 's phoebe . she just went down for a nap , but , uh ... would you like to meet her ? hope : yes . steffy : okay . liam : hey . i 'm glad you came . could n't have been easy . steffy : phoebe ... this is your very pretty aunt hope . hope : she 's beautiful . may i hold her ? liam : uh , are you -- are you ... sure ? hope : yeah . . . . | hope tells brooke that liam should be with steffy as she welcomes phoebe to her new home . steffy watches liam hold and feed phoebe and says she knows she adopted her but she will always be his daughter . she says the moment she saw her she knew it was meant to be . and to think the bio father wants nothing to do with her . reese tells flo that he would have never crossed the line morally or otherwise with this baby if it were not for protecting his own daughter . he said he kept out enough for his own debts but the $ 50,000 is for her . he hates that he got her involved . she says $ 50,000 gave one woman a child while taking it away from another . he tells her to take it and use it anyway she needs as she deserves it and just know the bottom line she is giving that baby a good home . brooke tells hope that she is extremely generous in telling liam to go and be with steffy today . she says beth will never be replaced in their hearts but this could be the beginning of his healing . brooke says she knows she still has plenty of questions so maybe it would help if she even went over there and met phoebe . steffy asks liam what she will tell hope ; she has to know he is here . he says yes , it was hope who encouraged him to come over . he says he only got to hold phoebe that once , that sweet little girl , but it was so strange . beth will always be in his heart but he can not get her back . but looking at phoebe he can see a future . she is a miracle . she says a miracle to him too . |
phoebe : anyway , i was just trying to remember the last time i spent any time with rick , you know ? we were young . it must have been christmas or something . taylor : yeah , probably . phoebe : just -- he seemed so much older then , you know ? i mean , i guess when you 're a kid , a few years make a big difference , but it 's not like that anymore . i mean , we 've both grown up . i think , he thinks that by living in europe , it 's made him all mature , but i 've been through a lot this year , too . do you think steffy will be stuck - up when she gets back from england ? i mean , i 'm not saying that rick is stuck - up at all , it 's just -- he 's just funny . ridge : hey , kiddo . should n't you be getting dressed for the party ? phoebe : hey , i left my dress at mom 's and she brought it over for me . ridge : oh , good . better go put it on . phoebe : okay . bye . thank you . taylor : no problem , sweetie . phoebe : love you . taylor : i love you , too . ridge : if you brought your dress , too , you could have gotten a ride over with us to mom and dad 's . phoebe : yeah . taylor : i do n't think i 'll be going to the party . thorne and i are n't seeing each other anymore . phoebe : no , mom . ridge : i 'm so sorry . taylor : i guess we were fools to think that aly would ever accept me . phoebe : that 's not true , mom . thorne loves you . taylor : i love him , too , but this is what he wanted . i 'm just -- i 'm going to miss aly so much . phoebe : look , i 'll stay with you tonight , okay ? taylor : no , no , please . go be with your father . it 's his celebration , go . phoebe : okay . i love you . taylor : i love you , too . ridge : if you want , phoebe could stay with you for a while . taylor : no , i 'm fine , really . ridge : actually , i 'd prefer if she spent more time at your place the next while . taylor : why ? is there a reason you do n't want her here ? ridge : rick 's staying with us . taylor : right . i know you two have issues , but is it really that bad ? ridge : well , if it was up to him , brooke and i would n't be getting married , and we would n't be together at all . [ scene_break ] brooke : rick , what are you doing ? you better get dressed . we 're going to be late . rick : well , maybe you can just go without me . i 'm kidding . just give me five minutes , okay ? brooke : it means a lot to me that you 're going to be at the party . rick : i know it does . brooke : and it would mean even more if you 'd reconsider singing our song . rick : what ? are you kidding ? absolutely not . you know what ? you better get dressed or we 're all going to be late .

minister : donna and justin have requested a simple ceremony . they want their union to be a celebration of their love for each other and of the bonds of family and friendship that have brought each of you here today . in other words , everybody relax ... ( laughter ) minister : especially you two . donna : ( laughs ) marcus : you heard the man . she said `` yes . `` so now all you got ta do is make it official . come on , pop . donna : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] oliver : i 'm gon na ask you again , amber . is the baby mine ? amber : the baby is liam 's . that 's why you need to be quiet about what happened between the two of us . oliver : so i can get hope back . amber : well , that 's what you want , is n't it ? oliver : not if i have to lie to make that happen . [ scene_break ] brooke : donna wanted me to talk about marriage , but ... ( chuckles ) instead , i 'm going to talk about family , because it seems like a huge family reunion here today . katie : ( laughs ) brooke : there 's the barbers , the logans , the spencers , and you , donna and justin , your marriage today has brought us together . your union connects all of us . the only thing i wish is that mom and stormy were here with us today to witness this .

[ scene_break ] oliver : all right , time to go . amber : i 'm not asking you to lie , oliver . oliver : you do n't want hope to know that we slept together . amber : no , you do n't want hope to know that we slept together , because if she knows , then she will never give up on liam . if there 's even the teeniest , tiniest , little chance that you could be the father of this baby -- oliver : but there is n't , right ? amber : no . but hope and liam , they are gon na come asking questions , and -- and they 're not looking for the truth . they want a reason to believe that this is n't happening . they do n't want to believe that liam is the father of this baby . and if you tell them that we had sex , then they wo n't . they will walk out of here more connected than ever . is that what you really want ? oliver : ( sighs ) oliver : i understand what you want me to do , amber . i 'm just not sure if i want to do it . amber : you want to get hope back oliver : if the paternity test says that liam 's the father , it does n't matter what i say , does it ? amber : well , that 's gon na happen , but i still think it 's in your best interest to keep quiet about what happened between the two of us . oliver : you told hope that -- that liam 's the only guy you 've been with ? amber : ohh , hope is so delusional , you know , she 's got her head stuck so deep in the sand , she could n't hear a word i was saying . oliver : no , she might not like the truth , but she ... ( sighs ) she 's not afraid to face it . amber : i guess being with liam has changed a lot about her . she did n't believe me . she just assumed i was lying . of course , you know what ? i - i - i do n't blame her , because this -- this could just ruin everything . then all of a sudden , boyfriend number one starts to look better and better -- the guy who never gave up on her , the one who waited , the one who stayed faithful , even though he did n't have to . this is your chance , oliver . you could be the hero of this story . or you could just be another guy who let her down . [ scene_break ] minister : love is a journey , sometimes bumpy , sometimes smooth . it can take us to the most unexpected places or leave us at a crossroads , uncertain of which way to go . no doubt , justin and donna have experienced all these things over the course of their long and complicated relationship . a lot can happen between `` once upon a time `` and `` happily ever after . `` and not every romance is a fairy tale , but sometimes even the most unlikely love story can have a happy ending . donna , do you take this man to be your husband -- donna : i do . i do . ( laughter ) donna : i do . ( chuckles ) minister : and you , justin , do you take -- justin : i do . ( laughter ) minister : the rings , please . now do you want to put 'em on now and go straight to `` i now pronounce you `` ... donna : ( chuckles ) minister : or would you like to say your vows ? justin : well ... given that i 'm a contract lawyer , i think donna should know exactly what she 's getting herself into . bill : careful what you say , pal . she 'll hold you to it . ( laughter ) justin : ( sighs ) donna ... you have always had my heart . until you came back into my life -- seeing you again , it brought about this longing inside of me . and i know you were with someone else , but my heart was still with you , and it will always be with you . ( sighs ) standing here at the altar with you and my son , it completes me . it makes me whole again . and on this day , i vow to you my heart , to keep it forever and always . i will always love you and cherish you and be faithful to you until the moment it stops beating . donna : ( crying ) donna : they say that , uh , if you really love something , you should be willing to set it free . and it 's true . i know this because ... i gave up the two most important men in my life so that they could have the life that i thought that they deserved . i gave them up without any hope of ever seeing them again . so to have them both standing here by the altar with me is ... ( sighs ) miraculous . ( laughs ) but make no mistake , you two have had all the freedom you 're ever gon na see ... ( laughter ) ever . i gave you up once , and i will never , ever let you go again . that is my vow to you , to never forget how lucky i am and to always treat our family like the precious , beautiful , unexpected gift that it is . minister : so without further ado , by the power vested in me ... donna : ( chuckles ) minister : by the state of california , i am privileged ... donna : ( laughs ) minister : to pronounce you husband and wife . you may ki -- ( laughter ) you know what you want today . marcus : hey , pop . justin : hey . marcus : mom said you wanted to speak to me . justin : yes , marcus . today 's a big day for our family . marcus : mm - hmm . justin : me marrying your mother was a dream come true to me , getting to you know , putting our family back together . it 's almost perfect . marcus : ( chuckles ) justin : today your mother , she took my name . i was hoping that maybe you could do the same . marcus : ( chuckles ) marcus barber . justin : oh , it 's no pressure . i know you 're heading off to international soon . your mother , she 's gon na miss you .

[ scene_break ] katie : yeah , the level of selfishness is really truly amazing . of course , brooke 's feelings are the only ones that matter . i mean , she tells you that you 're the great love of her life . i mean , what are you supposed to say to that ? bill : katie , nothing happened . brooke 's gone . let it go . katie : i ca n't just let it go . she betrayed me . again . i 'll never be able to forgive her for that . [ scene_break ] nicole : whoa . [ chuckles ] what 's gotten into you ? zende : you make me crazy , okay ? i think about you probably 24 hours a day . a dog barks . the sun comes down . a door closes . anything sort of sets it off . is it just me out here or what ? nicole : no . god , no . i want you , too . but we tried to go there a few times , and it just did n't feel right , you know , me being sick and feeling gross . zende : well , maybe we should try again . nicole : we talked about this . waiting until i 'm finished with my ... project . zende : i know . it 's just , i 'm pretty positive i 'll die of frustration before then . nicole : [ chuckles ] oh , my poor baby . you know , a lot of people wait until marriage . zende : wait , you 're not -- you 're not waiting until then , right ? nicole : [ laughs ] zende : come on , girl . i 'm serious . i want you .

[ scene_break ] rick : we should prepare an announcement for mom 's return . maya : oh . brooke : uh , is that really necessary ? eric : you do n't want it ? brooke : the less attention drawn to this whole situation , the better . eric : whatever you think . rick : why do n't you think about it ? it 's always easy to roll one out if you change your mind .

[ scene_break ] katie : i should have seen this coming . i mean , i know all about the past . i was there . it 's just that i ... i missed her . i missed her so much . but you 're the love of her life , so that does n't matter . [ chuckles ] i mean , you 're married to me , but i do n't matter . bill : katie . listen to me . they 're just words . katie : no , they 're not . she means them . she 's fixated on you . and she has been for months . i mean , i did n't see it because i did n't want to see it , but she knows how to play me because she 's had enough practice . bill : no lines were crossed . no harm done . you know your sister . she 's emotional . she gets carried away . does n't realize the impact that her behavior 's having until the fallout starts raining down . katie : are you defending her ? 'cause i really do n't want to hear that . [ scene_break ] julius : zende is nicole 's boyfriend . sasha : big whoop . he 's also my photographer . julius : and you know how i feel about that . sasha : oh , yes . you 've made yourself perfectly clear . it does n't mean i have to listen to what you say . i 'm not very obedient . julius : no kidding . sasha : must be all the daddy issues you left me with . julius : you 're acting like you 're man - hungry or something . sasha : maybe i am the way i am because of you . you know , starved for male attention . i had a lot of boyfriends in high school . hell , even stole a couple from nicole . julius : yeah , well , that wo n't be happening here . sasha : but none of them were in zende 's league . he is fine . way too fine for that nerdy nicole even on her best day . and now she 's popping out her sister 's husband 's baby ? that 's messed up , and you know it . julius : that 's none of your business . sasha : not so far . julius : what 's that supposed to mean ? sasha : look , it 's been real , but zende 's waiting for me . photo shoot , remember ? bye , dad .

[ scene_break ] rick : it 's just odd . aunt katie was so stoked about you working at spencer . we 've even had meetings on the new direction for eye on fashion . and now suddenly you 're out ? i just feel like i 'm missing a few pieces here . that 's all . eric : why do n't you let what your mother said be enough ? rick : okay , dad , i 'm sorry . i 'm not meaning to touch on some sort of sensitive spot here , but i 'm just saying , if there is some trouble between you and aunt katie , you might as well tell me right now . it 'll be obvious soon enough . eric : then let `` soon enough `` be soon enough . [ scene_break ] bill : i 'm not trying to defend brooke . i am trying to save your relationship . katie : you honestly think that 's possible ? bill : i do . you 're sisters . you can forgive each other anything . katie : yeah . anything except for trying to ruin my marriage and my life ! i 'm just -- i 'm so disappointed . and i 'm so angry at myself . i feel so stupid ! all i want to do is believe her and forgive her , and that makes me the biggest fool in the world ! i mean , if she was still here , she would be in full seduction mode ! bill : katie , nothing -- katie : she would n't stop . no , no , no . i 've given my sister the benefit of the doubt too many times . i 'm not gon na make that mistake again . [ scene_break ] maya : rick told me you asked for sasha to be reinstated . nicole : yeah . i should n't have gone behind her back like that , acing her out of not only a job but an entire career . was a cheap shot . could n't let it stand . maya : says a lot about your character . nicole : what ? that i 'd sell out my best friend ? maya : that you 'd make it right . you owned your mistake , and you fixed it . takes courage . but it 's just the two of us now , so i have to ask . you really okay with sasha and zende working together again ? [ scene_break ] [ camera shutter clicking ] sasha : take a few for your personal collection ? zende : sasha ? sasha : maybe a close - up . zende : what are you up to ? sasha : [ chuckles ] take a wild guess . zende : you know i 'm with nicole , right ? sasha : and i should care about that why ? because of my loyalty to my best friend ... who stabbed me in the back and got me fired ? i do n't owe nicole avant my loyalty . i do n't owe her anything . [ scene_break ] eric : rick 's right , you know . sooner or later , everybody 's gon na know that you and katie are on the outs . brooke : [ sighs ] i ca n't believe this is happening again . i mean , why did n't i just keep my mouth shut ? what possessed me to think it was okay to tell bill that i love him ? what good could have come of that ? eric : it was an impulse you were n't able to resist . brooke : [ sighs ] it was stupid , and it was selfish . eric : she 's forgiven you before . she will again . give it some time . brooke : eric , she 's hurt and she 's angry , and i do n't blame her . i just wish she 'd never overheard me say that to bill . but i ca n't deny it . i still love bill . i never stopped . [ scene_break ] katie : it was n't supposed to be like this . i wanted her to be a bigger part of my life , not cut her out of it . bill : you do n't have to do that . katie : i bet people thought i was crazy for bringing her here . i mean , they could see it . they could see that she would betray me . guess i could see it , too . i just did n't want to . she has been lying to my face ! these feelings did n't just pop up ! they were n't recently discovered ! they have been there all along ! i mean , i bet she was ecstatic when i brought her into spencer . so much easier to get you back in her bed ! bill : not a possibility . katie : you know ... i really thought that she could change . but she ca n't . she 's incapable of that . she is a human wrecking ball ! but not this time ! not with my life ! she is not gon na mess with my life this time ! i 'm not gon na let her ! bill : katie , katie , you need to calm down . katie : i know , i know , i know . i should n't get so upset . it 's just that i ... i thought that i mattered to her . i thought that she loved me . bill : you do matter to her , and she does love you . she probably loves you more than anyone . katie : then why does it hurt so much ? thank you for not -- for -- for not succumbing , i guess . i 'm sure she thought that you would just fall into her arms and declare your undying love for her and just leave will and me in the dust . but i know you would n't do that , 'cause i know how much you love me . i know that your heart is here . i 'm yours . and you 're mine . bill : never doubt it . katie : [ sighs ] | brooke calls a quick family meeting to inform all that it did not work out at spencer publications and she is no longer working there . katie walks into the office and kisses her handsome husband . he is not complaining . nicole tells zende that she knows he is disappointed in her , so is she . she felt as big as a horse compared to sasha looking so gorgeous . she is sorry and hopes he can forgive her . sasha tells julius she can not believe nicole went and got her fired . and julius can be so cold . he offers that he is not cold , she just does belong here . she says he is her family and she thinks she does belong here . she says if she wants to become a forrester model , then she is not going home . he can give up that dream . all her life she has given in to nicole , her best friend , but she is his child too and he should have thought of her too . he tells her that he will not have her upset this family , she will keep their secret . he can not imagine living without nicole . before they are through she says that zende is fine and way too good for that nerdy nicole . he is waiting for her now for photo shoot so off she goes . |
brooke : mmm ! [ exhales sharply ] ridge : god , i missed you . brooke : i missed you , too . ridge : how 's hope ? brooke : she 's great . she 's strong and independent and i could n't be more proud of her . ridge : well , she 's her mother 's daughter , after all . brooke : so , how 's everything here ? what 's going on between you and quinn ? ridge : me and quinn ? what do you mean ? brooke : well , before i left , you said you had a plan to get her out of the office , out of the company . any success ? ridge : yeah , we 're -- we 're taking steps in the right direction , for sure . brooke : huh . what kind of steps ? ridge : you 're looking at the new co - c.e.o . of forrester creations . brooke : get out ! ridge : get out ! brooke : oh , my god ! that 's amazing ! oh , my gosh ! congratulations , ridge ! ridge : thank you . brooke : what happened ? i mean , did eric have a change of heart ? ridge : no , it was quinn 's idea . eric : before we start this family meeting , i just wanted to check and be sure that you 're okay with all this . steffy : dad and i already discussed it . i 'm cool with it . eric : good , i 'm glad to hear that . steffy : yeah , it 's gon na be fun working with my father . it 's an honor . quinn : you 're gon na make a fantastic team . steffy : there 's one thing i 'm curious about . why are you doing this for my father ? pam : well , it sounds like your trip was a blast . zende : no , it was a great time seeing my folks , but , you know , being away made me realize what i was missing here , so i came back early . rick : hey ! we 're supposed to have a meeting with dad . pam : yep . get in line . maya : well , did he say what it was about ? thomas : no , but i 've got a pretty good idea . c.j . : it 's not too late to call the demolition crew . you know , you 'd be saving everyone , especially me , a whole lot of trouble . shirley : sally , honey , to be honest , i think c.j . has a point . sally : pass ! why ca n't you guys see what i see ? we are going to make this old broad shine again . she is going to be gorgeous ! c.j . : oh , so just because you 're sally spectra 's niece , you think you know what it takes to run a fashion house ? seriously ? i 'm her son . i could n't save the company . shirley : [ laughs ] that 's for sure . sally : we promised aunt sally that we were gon na give this place another shot . and you agreed to rent it to me . c.j . : all right , fine . fine . dig your own grave . you got 6 months to show a profit . otherwise , this `` old broad `` has got a date with a wrecking ball . c.j . : sally , i had an all - cash offer on the table before you came along . the only reason i am doing this is because you are family . shirley : sally , honey , six months is really not enough . i think we 'll need at least a year turn a profit ! c.j . : what ? no . unh - unh . unh - unh . if you guys can not handle it , i 'm calling my guy right now . sally : unh - unh ! put that phone back in your pocket , c.j . ! grammy and i are ready to rock and roll . we are in it to win it . not only are we preserving these weathered walls . we are saving the spectra family legacy . rick : well , hopefully dad 's come to his senses , decided to offer me the c.e.o . position . maya : that 'd be nice . rick : mm - hmm . pam : and i 'm afraid , uh , i 've got some bad news . the interns ate all my lemon bars . rick : pam , who 's in there ? should we just walk in ? pam : no , no , no , no . nicole : maybe we shock knock . pam : no , i am under strict orders -- very strict orders by eric . nobody is supposed to go in there until he gives me the say - so . i -- no , i 'm serious . back up , people ! no sudden moves ! quinn : you said you approve of your father being co - c.e.o . steffy : i do . i just find it a little -- a little odd ... actually , a little unbelievable that this was your idea , that you 'd do anything nice for my father . quinn : well , obviously ridge is more than qualified . but if -- if i 'm being honest , um , i -- really , i did this for eric , to show commitment and unity and to help bring the family together . brooke : quinn 's idea ? ridge : yeah , it surprised me , too . brooke : uh , she despises you and you despise her , so what would make her do that ? ridge : i do n't know . it 's her way to stay in my dad 's good graces , i guess . it 's important to him . and what 's important to me is that i get to run this company with my daughter , and my beautiful fiancée is back in my arms . all 's well that ends well . brooke : mm - hmm . sally : listen up , boys and girls . we are spectras , and spectras are not quitters ! we never back down ! c.j . : sally , god knows i love your attitude , but be real . come back to earth . you need a bankroll . designers . sewers . and you have nothing . shirley : yet . sally : have some faith ! we are full steam ahead ! we are ready to hire top- notch talent , the crème de la crème ! but cheap . very cheap . c.j . : oh , okay , so i can see you 've thought this through . shirley : we could put an ad in the papers ! `` wanted -- interns for hot , new design house . `` sally : yes ! that 's the spirits , grams ! i will post all over social media . you will see . people will be lined up down the block . c.j . : there are labor laws , you know . you do have to pay them . sally : we will pay ! of course we 'll pay ! i have money saved up in the bank . you do have some money saved from the bakery , right ? shirley : oh , yeah , a few bucks here and there . sally : oh ! aunt sally used to mention her star employee , the tailor ! the tailor ! what was his name ? shirley : saul ! saul ! sally : yes ! yes ! saul ! of course it 's saul ! we need a saul . the best of the best . shirley : sal , honey , i 'm gon na go make a few phone calls . there 's got to be a few of your aunt 's contacts still hanging around from her heyday . c.j . : no money , no staff , no business plan . aunt shirley should keep on walking if she 's knows what 's good for her . sally : yes , but we 've got passion and determination . and that is all we need ! and a little imagination . c.j . : hey ! great ! look out new york and milan ! spectra fashions is back ! whoo- hoo ! sally : make yourself useful , would you ? take a picture of me at my new desk . c.j . : [ sighs ] oh , this is gon na be interesting . eric : well , good . we 're all here . thanks , everybody , for coming . rick : hey , it 's good to see you back , dad . maya : yeah , we miss seeing you around , eric . brooke : although you 've obviously been quite busy . pam : even with quinn hovering around . zende : yeah , granddad . the fall collection ? phenomenal . eric : [ laughs ] thank you . that means a lot to me , zende . it does . i think i 'm pretty inspired these days . that 's mainly because of my beautiful wife . less stress . more time to design . i 've really enjoyed working from home . especially knowing that everything 's being so well - managed here . steffy , you 're doing a great job . i think back on our history , we really have n't had any real conflict for a very long time . and the troubles we 've had in the past were mainly because of one person -- sally spectra . ridge : i have n't heard that name in a long time . steffy : yeah , talk about a blast from the past . maya : i think i 've read about her . big hair ? eric : yes . big hair . and a big personality to match . nicole : wait . who 's sally spectra ? thomas : she ran the rival fashion house . she was one of our fiercest competitors . pam : yeah . stephanie told me all the stories . she stole all your designs , right ? eric : [ laughing ] yes . year after year . ridge and i were ripped off many , many times . zende : wait . how can someone get away with that ? brooke : sally had spies in her organization . even ours at times . zende : wow . rick : yeah , sally would stop at nothing to create knock - offs , even if it was thread for thread . eric : but much lower quality . and a lower price point , too . brooke : she even made sure her showings were just before ours . nicole : so yours would be ruined . rick : yeah . months and months of hard work down the drain . maya : that 's horrible . eric : that 's sally . huge personality , as you say , larger than life . actually , a very charming woman , except when it came to business . when it came to business , she was a real shark . zende : is she still in fashion ? rick : nah . spectra folded years ago . pam : i heard that she moved to an island somewhere . quinn : well , at least she 's no longer a threat . eric : no , actually , i read that they 're thinking of tearing down her old building downtown . i only mention it because we 've had this great period of calm . we have n't had any big conflicts like that for a very long time . the company 's been flourishing and it 's because steffy 's been doing such a good job as c.e.o . but i 'm making some changes , significant changes in the executive team . i 've spoken to steffy about this , and she has agreed to share the c.e.o . position with someone as talented and as devoted as she is , someone i 'm very proud to call my son . everybody , i want to introduce to you the new co - c.e.o . of forrester creations , my son ... ridge forrester . rick : [ scoffs ] c.j . : you have to be sure about this , sally . sally : what ? you really do n't think i can do this , do you ? c.j . : oh , i definitely have my doubts , but that 's -- that 's not what 's going on with me . i -- sally : then what ? c.j . : it 's just a little weird for me to say your name -- sally spectra . sally : well , that is my name . do n't wear it out . i have idolized your mom since i was a little girl . she 's the whole reason that i got into fashion . there 's just not a lot of fashion opportunities back home . c.j . : but idolization and dreaming are one thing , and the business world is another . my mom was spectra fashions , and doing it without her is risky . she is one of a kind , a hell of a lady . sally : i know . tell me more about her , c.j . tell me about the great sally spectra . rick : no way ! no , dad . you 're making ridge the c.e.o . ? that 's ridiculous . eric : no , it 's not , rick . that 's the way it 's gon na be . look , you can not forget how important you are as vice president and head of international . rick : yeah , i know how important i am . so why not give me a shot ? thomas : hey , at least you got a shot at c.e.o . , rick . i was n't even considered . eric : thomas , i want to remember how important you are to this company . you 're -- you 're one of the hottest up - and - coming designers in the industry today . you 're only getting better ! zende : you 're good with this ? sharing your job with ridge ? steffy : dad 's the creative . i handle p.r . and all the business aspects . it 's a nice balance . rick : nice balance . what about quinn ? eric : she stays as president . rick : oh , of course . yeah . team quinn . whoo ! eric : that 's enough . look , this whole decision to me was an absolute no- brainer . ridge , you 've devoted your whole life to this company . you 've been there , you understand the pressures . no one 's had more influence over this company than you . including me . ridge : thank you , dad . it means a lot hearing you say that . eric : i have to give the credit to my wife . this was her idea . maya : this was quinn 's idea ? rick : to make ridge c.e.o . ? ridge : co - c.e.o . eric : it was her suggestion , and steffy got on board and so did i . rick : oh , come on , quinn . we all know you ca n't stand ridge . quinn : my opinion of him has recently changed . eric : pam , nicole , maya , you 're all incredibly important members of this family and of this team . zende -- you , too . i 'm so grateful to have all of you . zende : appreciate it , granddad . eric : and , brooke , your contributions go without saying . ridge : i totally agree . thank you , dad , for the opportunity . and thank you , quinn , for suggesting it . and , steffy , thank you for sharing your office with me . steffy : my pleasure . eric : i 'm excited for you both . i ca n't wait to see what happens in the future . ridge : we 'll do you proud , dad . eric : i 'm sure you will . c.j . : i mean ... gosh , what can i say ? my mom is great . she does n't have a care in the world . sally : that 's music to my ears . i talked to her on the phone , but i would love to see her again someday . c.j . : there is nothing like hanging out with my mom , that 's for sure . just being in her presence , she 's just got that -- that energy , that spirit . it 's infectious , you know ? oh , and if she trusts you , likes you , lets you in , that 's it . done deal . you got a friend for life . roll tape on a journey so much excitement ahead each day 's a new adventure that keeps us moving ahead let 's give it all we got for every perfect shot with the cameras all in focus let 's start our daily soapy opus what we share share in this home proud of so many days we have one constant goal beauty remains hope never ends and we are forever bold we are forever bold sally : aunt sally is the quintessential grande dame . a living legend . i know how much she loves this old relic . she told me that i was her last hope . and i wo n't let her down . pam : why is everybody so gloomy ? this is good news ! maya : what 's good about it , pam ? pam : the family 's coming back together . steffy 's been doing a really great job . and now ridge is back where he belongs . thomas : well , i think rick and i are probably feeling the same way , and ... when it 's gon na be our turn ? rick : and why quinn is suddenly supporting ridge . eric : that did n't go too horribly . quinn : you handled that very well . eric : i just wish that rick and thomas were n't so disappointed . quinn : mm , they both know you love them very much . hopefully , they know that you 're doing what you think is best . eric : always so supportive , making things better . quinn : you know what , i made you a promise -- you and i were gon na handle this together -- and i 'm gon na keep it . eric : wow . lucky me . you are so amazing . you surprise me every day . quinn : ca n't become too predictable . eric : [ chuckles ] better not . i know much you used to worry about letting me down , but that 's impossible . that could never happen . [ both moaning ] ridge : you 've been away for too long . brooke : oh , ridge . i ca n't do this here . ridge : why ? we used to do it here all the time ! brooke : i know . ridge : you know i do n't like being a grown - up . that 's not easy for me . but i 'm co - c.e.o . of this company , so i better act like it . brooke : that 's right . yes . ridge : okay . brooke : and i 'm very proud of you , by the way . i am confuse , however . you led the charge against quinn for so many months . and now she 's supporting you . ridge : hmm , well ... well , that 's common sense . i 'm the lead designer and she wants to be on my good side . brooke : so , you 're just saying that quinn has changed ? no , no , no . that does n't sound like her . ridge : [ sighs ] i do n't know , maybe the divorce , you know , steffy and wyatt , that was the tipping point because she used the c.e.o . position to try to push them together , and now that steffy is with liam , she 's given up . brooke : hmm . no , there 's got to be more to it for her to do an about - face like that . ridge ? is there anything else ? anything at all that happened while i was gone ? ridge : no . nothing . nothing at all . | brooke comes home and hugs ridge and first thing she wants to know is how he is and is quinn out of their lives . he tells her about him being named co - ceo . all 's well that ends well . all are waiting outside in the hallway and thomas says he has a feeling he knows what it is all about . pam tells them to back up ; she can not let them in until eric says so . cj tells sally that she has six months to show a profit or dig her own grave , then it is the wrecking ball . he had an offer and the only reason he is doing this is because she is family . she says spectra 's are not quitters . she will put it all on social media and get the designers and help they need . they need saul . shirley says she will go look for some of sally 's old contacts . sally jr. says all they need is passion and some imagination . she asks cj to take a picture at her desk . the group welcomes eric back to the office and he congratulates steffy for a good job . curiously sally 's name comes up with big hair and big personality , the rival fashion house . sally would stop at nothing to make a knockoff . but spectra folded years ago and now they are tearing down the building . they have n't had those conflicts in a long , long time . but now he wants to make a few changes . he has talked to steffy and she has agreed to accept his son and her father , ridge , as co - ceo . all are shocked with quinn and ridge locking eyes . |
