[ scene_break ] thomas : hey , mom . thanks for meeting me here . there 's , uh , some stuff going on at the office that i do n't particularly want to be a part of . taylor : thomas , are you okay ? thomas : why do you ask ? taylor : because you really have n't been yourself the last few days . thomas : well , uh , i came here to find steffy , because i 'm pretty freaked about this thing with her and rick . taylor : i did n't know you were aware . thomas : yeah , she told me . taylor : i 'm not too happy about it myself . thomas : mom , how could you ever have gotten involved with him ? taylor : he -- he 's changed a lot since then . thomas : since you were together , you mean ? i do n't think so . taylor : ( sighs ) sweetheart , this was very different . it 's -- it 's hard to explain . it 's because rick was there for me . he was very supportive when i needed him , and my life was in a rut . thomas : mom , do n't kid yourself . he was using you . you could n't see it . you needed to believe in him , but you convinced yourself that you loved him . taylor : now you 're analyzing me , and i 'm the shrink . thomas : and i 'm the one who saw how bad you were hurting . taylor : ( sighs ) thomas : ( sighs ) taylor : listen , you could have said something to me . you did n't say anything about the way you really felt . thomas : you were fighting your own demons . look , i want to protect my sister . rick is creepy , and she needs to see that . taylor : well , unfortunately , she does n't . thomas : how do we get her to see how wrong this is ? taylor : sweetheart , you -- ( sighs ) you ca n't get somebody to listen who does n't want to . thomas : ( scoffs ) i just do n't see how rick gets so much control over women . taylor : did you think he was controlling me ? thomas : well , yeah . he was , mom , until you woke up and dumped him . taylor : i still ca n't believe i even got involved with him . ( sighs ) thomas : that 's true , but you did , and now he 's got steffy under his spell . how do we get her to wake up like you did and get the jerk out of her life ? taylor : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : does n't it bother you having to update the whole world about everything we do ? ridge : i 'd rather be announcing the premiere of our new collection . steffy : people will want to know why rick is leaving . ridge : sweetheart , i do n't want you worrying about this . steffy : dad , remember when i came back from europe , and you asked me to stay and join the company ? i thought it sounded great -- working with the family , getting to know the business . um , but i think it 's time for me to try something else . ridge : you want to leave ? steffy : ( sighs ) look , i -- i respect you and granddad so much an - and everyone at forrester . it just -- it does n't feel right anymore . ridge : you want to go back to europe ? steffy : no ! ridge : you do n't really know what you want to do , but you just do n't think you want to be here . steffy : right now it just does n't feel like the place for me . ridge : hmm . does this sudden dissatisfaction with forrester , uh -- would it have anything to do with rick ? leaving so he can stay at the company ? i know exactly what you 're doing here . [ scene_break ] brooke : ridge could have died . katie : oh . thorne : ( sighs ) brooke : an experience like that gives you a different kind of perspective . thorne : i 'm guessing it did n't . he did n't cancel the press conference . brooke : well , there 's still time . katie : listen , brooke , um ... ( laughs ) whatever rick did , ridge 's priority is steffy . he does n't want rick anywhere near her . thorne : which means he ca n't work here , brooke . brooke : true . unless something changes . thorne : no . nothing 's going to change . rick had his chance . he could have made a positive impact on this company , but he did n't . now it 's my turn , and i 'm not going to waste it or let anyone take it away from me . katie : look , if you want to talk to ridge or rick , you better do it now , because i need to get everyone in here ... brooke : ( sighs ) katie : before the press conference . [ scene_break ] rick : look , i get it . you gave me a shot . i blew it . it 's over . eric : do n't be flip . rick : no , i 'm not being flip . eric : you are , rick . rick : no , i 'm not being flip . i 'm trying to tell you that i understand that you and mom love me unconditionally . you just do n't approve of my behavior and my actions . eric : we do love you , rick , and that will never change . rick : well , i guess there 's no damn way to redeem myself , is there , dad ? eric : i would hope that that 's how you will spend your time away from us . there are other ways besides military service to -- to make a difference . rick : yeah , like saving a man 's life . does n't that make a difference ? eric : wh - what are you referring to ? rick : ( scoffs ) i 'm not surprised . ridge did n't say anything to you ? mom did n't tell you ? eric : tell me what ? rick : ridge and i were up on the roof , and he went over the edge , and i grabbed him , and i pulled him back up . eric : what ? my god ! rick : no , it happened really fast . no , i saved his life , but anybody would have done the same , i guess . eric : actually , no , that 's not true . anybody would n't have done that . rick : i saved a man 's life who is ruining mine . i should have `` chump `` stamped on my forehead . look , i was n't gon na let him plunge to his death , okay ? i 'm not the monster that ridge and other people make me out to be . but i let you down . seriously , i know -- i know i 've let you down . and i 'm gon na miss it here . i - i thought i was gon na spend my life working here at forrester creations with you and with mom . i just wish there was some other way . [ scene_break ] taylor : steffy can be pretty tenacious . thomas : tell me about it . taylor : if there 's something she wants , she gets dedicated to it , and sh - she does whatever it is she has to do to get it . thomas : and she wants rick ? taylor : no , she thinks she 's in love with him . thomas : yeah , i - i 've heard this all , too . they have a unique connection . taylor : oh , well , at least that part 's true . thomas : you know , any other man but rick -- any other man , and i 'd be all for it . taylor : i had no idea that you even knew , sweetie . thomas : you know , she promised me that she would break up with him before dad ever had to find out . taylor : yeah , but it was too late . he already knew . thomas : you know , i feel as long as they 're together , our family is in danger , and i just know that dad would want nothing more than to keep them apart . taylor : did you talk to him ? thomas : no , i - i have n't had the heart . you know , i have n't even talked to anybody until now . taylor : well , i 'm glad you felt like you could come talk to me . thomas : you know , i been -- i 've been trying to keep this inside , but it is just eating at me . taylor : i - i know . i know , sweetheart , believe me . thomas : i mean , if -- if -- if we could just convince steffy that this relationship with rick is a disaster ... taylor : you know , your sister is a very bright girl , and i do n't think she 'll like being used , and she 'll figure this out . thomas : yeah . yeah , you 're right . she 'll figure it out . maybe i 'm just worrying for nothing . taylor : i wonder if steffy knows how lucky she is to have a brother like you . thomas : well , i hope she does know . i 'd do anything for steffy . [ scene_break ] ridge : did rick ask you to talk to me ? steffy : no . ridge : leaving forrester is your idea ? ridge : well , is it ? steffy : does it matter ? if it 's a good idea -- ridge : it 's not a good idea . steffy : well , it 's good for me . ridge : even better for rick . i ca n't accept rick being here with you . but if you were n't here , i might persuade the family to give him his job back . it 's a good idea . steffy : yeah . ridge : very little chance of you two seeing each other in the hallway . it 'd keep rick busy so he would n't have a chance to sneak out and see you . you have n't really found your niche here anyway , you know ? rick was president . his job was more important , huh ? steffy : mm - hmm . yeah . ridge : but it 's not . sweetie , you are not gon na sacrifice your future for his . steffy : i do n't know if i have a future here . ridge : you do not have to feel guilty about him losing his job . steffy : i do n't . i feel bad , just like granddad and brooke , because they love him . [ scene_break ] ( knocking on door ) brooke : ridge , they need us . steffy : i - i - i - i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . but i have to tell you , i love him , too . i am your daughter , and if you care about me , you 'll let him stay at the company . brooke : ( gasps ) [ scene_break ] thorne : this is just like rick -- pulling some hail mary stunt . katie : he saved your brother 's life . thorne : ( sighs ) eric : is it too late to push back the press conference ? thorne : why ? katie : oh . eric : `` why ? `` you know what happened to -- to ridge , do n't you ? thorne : yeah , we do . and let me guess who told you . eric : thorne , your brother could have been killed . rick saved his life . i think that that merits a few more minutes of consideration . katie : you do n't really have a few more minutes . the press is waiting . rick : where 's mom ? katie : she 's , uh , with ridge . i do n't know . i 'll go find her . rick : wait , wait , katie . hang on . maybe mom -- they need to straighten some things out first . let 's give them some time . [ scene_break ] ridge : sweetheart , i 'm not gon na send you away . steffy : i want to go . ridge : no , you want rick to get his job back , and you think this is the best way to do that . can you believe this ? she wants to quit . brooke : ridge , if she does n't want to be here -- steffy : da -- dad -- dad , i know you 're scared , and i know you want to protect me , and i love you for that . but you have to let me live my own life . if you ca n't , i 'm gon na have to do this without you . brooke : steffy , you do n't mean that . you did n't come here to give your father an ultimatum . steffy : well , he 's not listening to me . brooke : ridge , please , do n't let this come between you . steffy : look , dad , phoebe would n't want this . she 'd just want us to move on and get over it . ridge : like she wanted to get over rick 's relationship with your mother or his attempt to seduce you ? steffy : ( scoffs ) ridge : sweetheart , your sister would not want you involved with this guy . steffy : rick would n't hurt me . and he did n't mean to hurt phoebe , either . ridge : but he did , sweetheart , and now she 's gone . brooke : ( sighs ) ridge : he hurt our whole family . and if you continue to allow this relationship to happen , you 're hurting us , too . brooke : wait . stop , please -- both of you . ( sighs ) this is not what i wanted . ( sighs ) this was all my idea . i asked steffy to resign . ridge : you went to my daughter behind my back ? steffy : it was a suggestion . i did n't have to take it . brooke : ( sighs ) i just wanted to find an amicable solution for everybody . i thought that i had lost my son , that i did n't know the person that he 'd become . but , ridge , there 's still some goodness in him . and if we let him leave now , god knows what will happen . but if we let him stay , and we can all find a way to work together in this ... ( sighs ) place that we love so much ... ( sighs ) nobody has to leave . not rick . not steffy . that really is the best solution . we just need to find a way to make peace . please , ridge , do it for me . | ridge repeats again that rick is out of the company , right now , as of today . rick grouses that it makes no difference if he saved ridge 's life or not . ridge agrees no , that does n't matter . brooke appeals to steffy that the only way for rick to stay is for steffy to leave . she has to convince everyone this is what she really wants . steffy agrees she wants to be the one to make it happen . it 's little compared what he has done for her . thorne tells katie that he 's looking forward to his finest hour , to be president again . he will be much more involved with publicity . eric reminds rick that it 's time to go to make the announcement . rick feels it is to the gallows .. all of this to placate ridge who wants rick to just stay away from steffy . thomas tells taylor they need to find some way to get steffy to listen to how ridiculous she is acting over rick . but she 's a bright girl and perhaps she will come to this conclusion on her own that rick is just using her . rick tells eric what happened on the roof and eric thinks this makes a difference and they should hold up the press conference . when steffy tells ridge that she wants to leave forrester , he wo n't let her sacrifice her future for rick 's . this would only be good for rick , not steffy . brooke confesses to ridge that it was her suggestion , a way to make peace and she hopes ridge can accept this and do it for her . |
brooke : ( sighs ) stephanie , just stay out of this . stephanie : you 're the one that 's butting in . it 's taylor 's name that 's on the sales agreement , is n't it ? brooke : butting in ? i spent most of my life trying to make forrester a success . i have far more right to ownership than taylor does . [ scene_break ] steffy : i know it seems this way , but it is n't me versus brooke . she 's your wife . she 's always gon na have a place at the company . she should n't get to own it , not after the way she let katie and bill treat you and granddad . eric : what 's , uh , what 's going on ? steffy : brooke wants mom 's part of the company , and we ca n't let her have it . [ scene_break ] nick : somebody has to play peacemaker here , bridget . she 's carrying our child . bridget : she 's a surrogate . she 's a provided service . she 's not our friend . nick : she was . bridget : she lied to me . she asked my husband to lie to me . nick : okay , okay . now i understand that you feel betrayed here , and this goes back into our past , and it 's my fault here . she had no idea -- bridget : she 's a threat , nick . nick : ( sighs ) would you at least talk to her ? bridget : no . i have no interest in saying anything to her . i 'll do what 's necessary for the baby , but i do n't want anything to do with agnes . aggie : oh . s - sorry . i did n't know anyone was here . i 'll leave . nick : no , no . you stay put . you ... you stay put , too . [ scene_break ] nick : sit down here . so how are you feeling ? aggie : okay . bridget : you still taking your pills ? aggie : i have an appointment with dr. caspary to talk about how they make me feel -- the side effects . bridget : good . but you took one this morning . aggie : yes . bridget : and you 'll keep taking them until dr. caspary gives you a new prescription , 'cause i do n't really care how you feel . you 'll take them for the baby , because that 's your priority , right ? [ scene_break ] ridge : the ownership deal is done . we 'll make some adjustments -- provisions for you , your brother , thorne and your aunts . right now what -- the more important thing is the company is ours . it 's back in our hands . now whether we operate this company with your mother or brooke , bill and katie are still gone . steffy : but if mom sells her share to brooke , nothing 's gon na change . hope : uh , how can you say nothing will change ? dad and -- and eric will be in charge again . steffy : yeah , and your mom and my grandma are gon na be at each other 's throats . the office will still be a war zone . is this why i got the company back ? [ scene_break ] brooke : you see , this is exactly why i wanted to speak to taylor alone . stephanie : ( chuckles ) i bet you did ... brooke : ( sighs ) stephanie : and fill her full of hogwash . brooke : no , no . i really thought that we could talk like two adults -- woman to woman -- caring about our children 's legacies . stephanie : if you are concerned about your children 's legacy , you will not listen to one word she has to say , and you know it . brooke : taylor , you do n't need to be a part of this company . there 's really absolutely no reason for you to be involved in this business . taylor : ( sighs ) stephanie : i can think of a hundred reasons why you should n't be involved in this company . brooke : she just wants to spite me . she wants to right all the wrongs that she thinks that i 've done to her and her family through the years . she does n't give a damn how it 's going to affect you and your family . stephanie : all right , my motives are completely selfish . i admit it . taylor , i ca n't do this alone . i would love to believe that my ex - husband and your ex- husband have learned a very valuable lesson in life -- that their new wives ' influences can be very destructive . but i am not so sure that they have learned that . that means all the decisions that get made in the boardroom will then eventually be overturned in the bedroom . we ca n't have that . your daughter has given us an extraordinary opportunity here . taylor : ( sighs ) stephanie : please take it . taylor : i need to talk to eric and ridge . brooke : why ? stephanie : it 's your decision . taylor : you gave me your input , and i think it 's only fair that eric and ridge have a chance to give me theirs . [ scene_break ] aggie : i do n't need you to remind me of my priorities . bridget : no ? were you thinking of the baby when you decided to chase down graham ? or were you thinking about the life inside of you when you put your own life in danger ? nick : okay , okay . now that night was a difficult night for all of us . bridget : really ? it was n't for me , actually . i did n't know about anything going on until i got called to the hospital . nick : you know , i really do n't think that this energy is probably good for the baby . do we all agree on that ? aggie : nick 's right . this is n't good for anyone . nick : hey , aggie , are those files from my mother ? aggie : i did n't want them to fall through the cracks just because stephanie 's leaving , so ... nick : okay . you think maybe you could just put them here on the desk with a little note from my mother explaining what they are ? thanks . nick : hey . bridget : honey , i know you think i 'm being too hard , and i 'm probably making the situation worse . nick : ( quietly ) no , no . now wait a second . i 'm not judging anyone here . i 'm just saying that , you know , this negativity or how you feel about her ca n't be good for the baby . bridget : i know . aggie : ( sniffles ) ( shivers ) ( sighs ) bridget : ( whispering ) look , i am not the bad guy here . she deceived me . i have every right to be upset . nick : ( whispering ) okay . it might help if you just tried to get to know her again . bridget : nick , i know this is not how you want things to be . i do n't either . it 's really breaking my heart . but the truth is i just want the pregnancy over , and i want that woman out of our lives forever . [ scene_break ] steffy : if you want things to get better , then things have to change completely . hope : so get rid of the logans ? donna : ( scoffs ) oh , no . i am not going anywhere . hope : and neither are my mother and i . brooke : ( scoffs ) i knew it . she called you from the car . ridge : who ? brooke : taylor . she could n't make this decision on her own . she wanted her whole family involved . taylor : stephanie , i hear you . i just want to talk to ridge and eric -- oh , so you called everybody . eric : nobody called anyone . now what 's this about ? stephanie : well , brooke wants to buy , uh , taylor 's shares ... taylor : ( sighs ) stephanie : in the company . thorne : we heard . brooke : taylor and i were ready to come to an agreement , and then stephanie showed up and decided to spew her anti - logan rant . stephanie : i simply stated a fact that needed restating . brooke has no more right to ownership in the company than you do . brooke : we 're all involved in forrester creations somehow . we 're all a part of it . and we 're all very happy that ridge and eric are back in charge . but steffy wants something more , do n't you ? steffy wants her parents back together again . that 's why she involved her mother in this deal . taylor : ( sighs ) steffy : ( laughs ) brooke : just admit it . that 's what 's really going on here . taylor : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] nick : aggie , this may be hard for you to believe , but this really is n't about you . aggie : bridget made it pretty clear it is . nick : she 's scared . aggie : of me . nick : no , there 's some history here between bridget and i of betrayal that you 're not aware of that i think this event sort of brought up . aggie : oh . so she really -- she really is n't mad at me . she 's mad at you . nick : well , whatever the case , this just is n't my wife . she 's not this person , somebody that gives orders like this and is treating you like a baby - making machine . it 's just not good for either one of you , and i want it to stop . i 'd like you to come to the house tonight . i 'd like you to come over and have dinner with us . aggie : no , thanks . pregnancy has given me enough indigestion . nick : why do you think she avoids you ? aggie : because she hates me . nick : no , no . it 's because she does n't . she wants to hate you . what does she do every time that you come into the room ? aggie : she treats me like garbage . nick : and then she runs . if you just come by , sit down and talk , i really think that could help break the ice . aggie : ( sighs ) nick : please . aggie : okay . okay , but only if you really think it will help . nick : ( laughs ) i do n't think it can make it much worse . aggie : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : is that true ? is that why you want me involved in this ? brooke : i understand you want your family whole again , but it 's not going to happen . giving control back to your parents and to you grandparents , that was a very lovely gesture . but you have to realize the kind of disappointment you 're going to set your mother up for . taylor : that 's beautiful . so now if i want to prove that i 'm over ridge , then i - i would sell my stake in the company to you ? brooke : well , you could sell it to ridge or to thorne . stephanie : or me . donna : oh , no . no , stephanie would have 50 % of the company , and she would have the majority vote . stephanie : you worried i 'd send you and your sister downstairs in the basement to work ? eric : all right , all right . that 's enough . let 's not start that again . look , obviously , there are many differences of opinion here . stephanie : what 's yours , eric ? eric : you want my opinion ? stephanie : well , that 's why , uh , taylor dragged us back ... taylor : ( sighs ) stephanie : to find out what you and ridge think that she should do before she makes her decision . uh , ridge , what do you think ? who do you want to see running the company -- brooke or taylor ? brooke : stephanie , you know what ridge is going to say . stephanie : do i ? ridge : this is n't just your name on a piece of paper . it 's a huge investment . you 'd have to leverage everything you own , and there 's no guarantee you 'd ever see a return . we all know how fickle the banks are these days . thorne : it is a huge risk , taylor . ridge : it 's not about who has more right to be here . we all have a role to play at forrester . but you also have your own career . this company is n't everything to you like it is to dad , to me , to thorne , to mother and brooke . the truth is brooke 's made a huge contribution to this industry , and i think she does deserve the right to buy in to it . steffy : oh , come on , dad . what has brooke done lately ? she ratted on us with the dare line . we would have had the company weeks ago if it was n't for her . ridge : steffy , i realize this is not what you want . steffy : i want the company run by forresters . mom , with you as the owner , the logan era is over . i want forrester back for us . i want it back to its roots . mom , you got to do this . it 's not gon na happen without you . brooke : you heard what ridge said . taylor : yes , i heard what ridge said , and , um ... i know what i have to do . i 've made my decision . [ scene_break ] nick : ( sighs ) woman : ms. jones , i thought you 'd want to know your brother 's here , if you do n't think you 'll be too tired to see him . sandy : thank you . bridget : who is ms. jones ? sandy : i am . agnes jones . sandy sommers does n't exist . i made her up . bridget : this is who you 've been trusting with our child ? nick : hey . bridget : hi . ( sighs ) nick : she 's gone . bridget : ( sighs ) nick : i hope you did n't run her out of the company -- just out of the office . bridget : do n't joke about this . nick : well , somebody better start laughing around here pretty soon . bridget : i hate feeling this way . nick : i know you do . bridget : you know , every time i look at her , i catch her looking at you . nick : would you let me try to fix this ? bridget : ( sighs ) that 's so sweet , honey . i do n't know that you even can . nick : but -- but would you just -- just let me try for you and for the baby ? bridget : how ? nick : i 'm not gon na sugarcoat it . it would n't be easy . but ... i think we 're out of our comfort zone here , you know ? this is n't working out the way we imagined it would . but ... you know , all of this negativity and these misgivings , w - we -- we do n't have to be miserable , bridget . we 're still having a baby . so ... if you can hang onto that , hang onto me and just know there 's nothing i would n't do for you , for this baby . [ scene_break ] taylor : i - i get that you all want to get this deal done , and you all want to get on with your lives . but this is ... it 's a huge decision for me . it 's a ... you know , it 's my life 's savings . it 's my home that my children grew up in . it 's all of my assets . it 's an enormous risk . brooke : one that you do n't have to take . taylor : yes , but so is letting my children 's legacy fall into someone else 's hands . hope : taylor , if this has anything to do with me or the hope for the future line -- taylor : no , hope . hope , it does n't have anything at all to do with you . i just hated seeing ridge being torn between you and steffy . that 's it . and i never want to see him be in that position again . ( sighs ) brooke : none of us do . taylor : well , no , brooke , i am not questioning your love for ridge or your dedication to this family and -- and this company , okay ? i - i know that you have contributed some very crucial elements to this company and made it successful . anyone in the fashion industry would say that , yes , you 've earned your position in this company . and you would n't be where you are today if it had n't been for your ingenuity and a lot of hard work . but also , brooke , let 's get real , okay ? you know , you had other ways of getting where you are . brooke : ( scoffs ) taylor : before you took up with ridge , you married eric , which pretty much paved your way to the executive suite . brooke : no . no . that 's not true . that 's when i created the belief formula . donna : uh , look , why are we even talking about this ? i mean , i thought we were discussing this company 's future . taylor : fine . okay . good . let 's talk about that . let 's talk about that right now . this company lost a lot more than its leadership when bill spencer took over . it lost its soul , and forrester has to find a way to get that back . brooke : you do n't even know this industry . you have little experience . taylor : brooke , i -- my name is the on the sales agreement , okay ? you do n't have to convince me that i do n't have a right to have ownership here . brooke : well , i - i tried to state my case with you , and you would n't even listen . taylor : no , i 've stood here , and i 've listened . i 've -- i 've listened to every one in this room , and i would just like -- like to have a chance to ask you to listen to me . ( sighs ) t - this is a huge moment for forrester creations . we 're on the brink of a whole new era . it 's an extraordinary moment for this company , and i know we 're all excited , and we ca n't wait to get out there and announce that we 're finally free from spencer publications . but ... ( sighs ) what are we gon na say ? what are we gon na say is the difference between how we were and -- and how we are now ? what 's the difference between being run by bill spencer ? i mean , do we want to be seen now as -- as a company that 's just all about making profits and -- and publicity , or -- or do we want -- want to be known for -- for our -- our integrity and our -- our loyalty and our honesty and -- and our commitment to each other and how we take care of each other ? family values -- that 's what i remember about this company when i first came here . that was the image that i saw , and i just think that we have to get back to that . ( sighs ) so my answer is ... yes . yes , i will fund my 25 % of my share , and i - i will be honored to be a part of this company with you , eric and ridge and stephanie . it would be a great honor to me . | brooke rants to stephanie that she has far more right to forrester than taylor does . stephanie says that taylor 's daughter has given her a rare opportunity and she thinks she should take it . do n't let the decisions made in the board room spill through to the bedroom with the current wives . bridget explains to nick that agnes is not their friend . she is a surrogate only and now she is a threat . she will do what she needs to do for the baby , but nothing else . agnes comes in and does n't appreciate bridget taking every opportunity to rail on her and to keep reminding her to eat right and take her pills . nick walks a fine line between the two women . he wishes bridget would try harder to get to know agnes again now that everything is out in the open . steffy thinks the office will be a war zone if brooke becomes part owner . this is n't he reason she got the company back . all the forrester 's and logan 's end up back at the office . brooke tells them that steffy wants her parents back together and this is the real reason she fought so hard to get fc back . |

[ chuckles ] rick : it 's not ? maya : well , for people like you and your family and the blueblood clientele of forrester . you know , i 've been thinking -- what about all of those other people , the people who could be clients but are n't yet ? rick : what about them ? maya : there 's a lot of demographics , rick , that we have n't thought about . it 's not just people with trust funds who enjoy beautiful clothes . forrester should speak to everyone . rick : i never thought about it like that . you see , you are good for me . in so many ways . ivy : i saw what steffy did . liam : got a little worked up , did n't she ? ivy : liam , she was on top of you , kissing your face off . liam : i know . i promise you , i did not know she was gon na do that . ivy : hey , i 'm not blaming you . liam : just so you know , there 's nothing going on . ivy : i know . i had a conversation with her after you left . liam : you did ? ivy : yeah , and she told me her entire plan . she wants to come back here and run forrester with you but not as your business partner -- as a couple . liam : god . you know how important this is to me -- to get rick off your back , to give caroline the freedom to work . that company needs new leadership , and i thought steffy was the right choice , but -- ivy : but it 's not gon na happen . liam : well , not like this , it 's not . ivy : okay , good . that 's exactly what i told her . i 'm not comfortable with her coming on to you , liam . i mean , she can sell her stocks and you can convince her family to take all of this on board . she can even sit in rick 's chair , but ... she 's not gon na get you back . steffy : he ca n't do this without us . combining our stocks will make it plausible . liam needs our help , dad . ridge : what about caroline ? the last time you were in here , you did n't seem that happy about it . steffy : dad , this is n't about caroline -- or ivy . they can take care of themselves . this is about forrester . ridge : for us , not for liam . steffy : for liam , too . he knows what this company means to our family . that -- that should be all the motivation he needs . and ivy should n't have anything to do with this . i mean , look , they were dating , but we were married . we were gon na have a family together . ridge : steffy , come on . steffy : no , i do n't want to hear how hard this has been on ivy -- working with rick , being criticized . i lost everything -- my marriage , my baby ... the man i loved . ridge : you still love him , do n't you ? steffy : yes . and i want him back . this is my chance , dad . liam knows how good we are together , and he has n't forgotten . you know , it 's just the way we encourage each other , and that 's the kind of energy we need back at forrester , and i know that 's what you want , too -- you know , that rush , that feeling of being revved up going to work . but it wo n't happen without us . something has to be done , dad . eric : i was n't very supportive at first , but i 'm starting to see some real positives with rick and maya . brooke : you 're not concerned about anything ? the gun ? eric : oh , well , that 's unacceptable , of course -- dangerous , irresponsible . but the fact is i do understand what drove him to it . i mean , it 's not something i would do myself , but i remember the feeling . a long time ago , ridge took the woman i loved from me , too . maya : i still ca n't believe he did n't make you take that down . rick : he understands what it means , what it represents . maya : and what is that ? rick : all the importance that you 've brought to my life . it 's just like the necklace and all the other gifts i 've given you . it 's just -- just my way of saying , `` thank you . `` maya : you know , that 's not fair . rick : why not ? maya : you ca n't say , `` thank you `` to a thank - you gift . rick : why ca n't you ? maya : it 's the rule . rick : well , since when do we follow the rules ? we make our own rules . would you like some more champagne ? maya : yes , but i 'm gon na take mine to go . rick : go where ? maya : you want a thank - you ? what goes better with diamonds than bubbles ... and more bubbles ? i 'm gon na get the water running . you meet me upstairs . ivy : i do n't want you to think i 'm being crazy jealous or anything . it 's just i 'm just trying to protect what is important to me . liam : i promise you , i 'm not gon na let this be a problem . ivy : but that 's the thing , liam . women like steffy -- they always are . they honestly believe that your past with them is more important than a future with anyone else . and i get it . you guys have a history . you do . i get that . but that does n't eclipse everything else . it does n't make what she did right . liam : i really do n't want you to worry about this . ivy : thank you . and i - i know . i - i 'm not . i 'm not . it 's just -- ugh ! i mean , do i want her to get on a plane back to paris ? yes , i absolutely do , but , i mean , having her in town -- it 's not a threat to us . i know how much you love me . and after what i saw today , i have absolutely no doubt about that . ridge : i agree with everything you 're saying . steffy : then there 's only one choice to make . ridge : until we have to deal with the consequences . steffy : rick 's out . we 're in . ridge : it 's not that simple , steffy . steffy : it is simple if it means that i can be with liam ! ridge : he 's offering that to you ? steffy : it 's gon na happen , dad . ridge : come on . steffy : ivy thinks that she can replace me in liam 's life . she 's wrong . i lost him before . i wo n't do it again . ridge : okay . so , that 's it , then , huh -- you and liam ? all right . what about your granddad ? he built this company from the ground up . steffy : yeah , and he 's letting rick destroy it . ridge : he 's making mistakes . i agree with you . but he 's my dad . he raised me when he did n't have to . i 'm not the man 's kid , and he was there for me . he was loyal to me . steffy : up until now . his loyalty is now with rick . maya : i remember the first time we did this . rick : your apartment . maya : on the sly , plotting behind everyone 's back . [ both chuckle ] rick : it worked . maya : yeah . look at us now -- out in the open , just like you promised . i 'll never take this for granted . i want to savor every single moment together . let 's always remember to have little celebrations like this , okay ? rick : oh , just you wait . this house is gon na be celebration central . maya : [ chuckles ] rick : all my life , ridge dominated this place , just like he dominates everything else . maya : he 's not here anymore . rick : no , he 's not . i 'm the number - one son . my dad gave me this house and his support . maya : i knew you 'd win him over . rick : you know , maya , when i look into those big , beautiful eyes of yours , i feel like i 'm invincible , like i could do almost anything . liam : i really did n't know steffy still had feelings like this . ivy : well , apparently , you are very hard to get over . liam : oh , yeah , yeah . like the flu . ivy : and her , too , i imagine . i mean , look at her , liam . she 's stunning . she 's sexy . she 's beautiful . liam : if you have n't noticed , that 's kind of my type . ivy : [ chuckles ] you know , you could have it all with her . you could have power and success . you could take over forrester . but you chose us . liam : i 'm still going after forrester . ivy : okay . well , who knows ? i mean , steffy might still help . liam : yeah , if -- if -- that 's okay with you . ivy : yeah . yep , it 's okay ... as long as she knows that getting you back is not a part of the bargain . brooke : [ laughs ] see that ? that is commitment . that is dedication . eric : that 's what i saw , too . brooke : i think our son has this company moving in the right direction . eric : he does . he got bogged down in the beginning , but he 's pulled himself right out of it . brooke : well , that gives us reason to celebrate . do you think rick found that secret bottle of scotch ? eric : oh , certainly not . he does n't know where it is . you do n't even remember where it is . brooke : i know where it is . i 'm gon na get it . eric : all right . i 'll get the glasses . but this is only for a special occasion , you know ? oh , yeah ? brooke : oh , yeah . i think this qualifies . eric : i think so , too -- celebrating my son 's success with his beautiful mother . brooke : aww . eric : mm , yeah . this is nice . thank you , my dear . brooke : mm - hmm . [ chuckles ] eric : cheers . brooke : oh [ chuckles ] of course . cheers . [ exhales sharply ] rick : i guess i should n't be surprised . i 've worked really hard to prove myself to my father . maya : it took a long time . rick : then you came in to my life , and everything else just fell into place . steffy : rick and maya are gon na run granddad 's business into the ground ! ridge : he trusts them . steffy : i do n't want to betray him or act against our family , but he put us in this position . ridge : let me ask you something . you would really partner with spencer ? do you remember how long it took to get the company back from him ? steffy : bill wo n't have anything to do with it . ridge : why not ? it 's his son . they 're working together . steffy : not on this . liam assured me he 'd be the only one involved -- not bill . so , we 'll talk to the lawyers , write up an agreement . spencers will be profit participants only . but the ultimate authority will remain with us . ridge : bill 's never gon na agree to that . steffy : liam will . they 're already part of the company , dad . they own stake in this , too . and they hate what rick is doing just as much as we do . ridge : they 're protecting their own interests ! steffy : and we have to protect ours ! we have done this before . we have saved forrester when nobody else could . now we have to do it again . we deserve this . ridge : yeah . what else , steffy ? what do you deserve ? another shot with liam ? steffy : yes . but more than anything , we should be running forrester creations , not rick and maya . maya and rick have to go , dad . we do this , join forces with liam -- forrester creations is ours and rick and maya are gone . rick : [ chuckles ] | liam asks ivy if she is okay as she seems a little tense . she brings up steffy being there today . she saw them together . maya loves having champagne in the middle of the day . rick says he has another present for her , special and unique just like she is . he urges her to open it . fc would not be where it is today without her . it is a necklace that he asked ivy to design . he puts it on maya . ivy told him it was the most expensive piece she has ever designed so that shows maya just how important she is to him . she is grateful but tries to make it seem that she does n't need all of this from him . steffy drops in on her dad , ridge . he tells her that liam came by and told him about the takeover of fc . he wants to know if she is in . eric tells brooke that he did talk to rick and he has his full support . he has total confidence in their son . brooke is happy to hear that . eric says this is still his company and putting rick in charge is about the smartest thing he has ever done . rick has made some choices that eric would not have done but whatever he is doing he wants him to keep doing it . she said she had her concerns about rick getting rid of caroline , taking up with maya and then moving her in his house so fast . she is shocked that eric is going to live in the guest house now . eric thinks maya can keep rick 's feet on the ground and bring him down to earth . |

[ scene_break ] wyatt : okay , you -- wait , you talked to my mom 's new boyfriend ? steffy : yeah , he answered the phone . he sounded really , um ... wyatt : what ? steffy : i do n't know . he sounded like sweet and young . the total opposite from your mother 's usual type . [ scene_break ] liam : you know what was strange about that call ? quinn : what ? liam : i could n't explain who i was . you know , she thought that she had a wrong number , and i tried to think of what to say , and i realized ...

not so much . [ both laugh ] how you doing ? eric : i 'm fine . still adjusting to thorne 's abrupt departure , but , uh ... adjusting . steffy : yeah , seriously . how 's katie ? eric : katie 's fine . she 's resilient , as always , focusing on will . luckily , bill spencer is taking his role as a father more seriously than i think he ever has before , kind of making thorne 's departure not such a bad thing . how are you ? how is it with these two girls ? steffy : you know , it 's , uh -- it 's just ... heavenly . yeah . what is this ? [ sighs ] it 's tough ! it 's -- it 's tough , granddad . it really is . even though i have mom and amelia , it gets overwhelming , but i would trade it for the world . they just bring me so much joy . eric : i 'm proud of you . you 're gon na be this great role model for these two beautiful girls . they 're very lucky . steffy : i just wish grandma were alive to see them , that they could grow up knowing her . eric : they will , through you . i mean , that 's one of the ways that you 're most like stephanie , is the look you get in your eyes when you 're watching your children . fierce and protective , a force to be reckoned with . do n't be afraid to ask for help , though . you got a big family willing to help you , and you 're doing this great job , but ... you 're raising kelly and phoebe all by yourself . steffy : yeah , speaking of which ... hope thinks i should n't be . she thinks liam should be here , raising the girls with me . hope : i 've been selfish . i 've been so wrapped up my own brain , and i ca n't be like that anymore . liam : hope , you are the most unselfish person i 've ever met . okay , let me -- let me tell you what 's happening here . you are profoundly mourning the daughter that we lost , and you 're not thinking straight . but that 's okay , you do n't have to because i will . i will for both of us . are you hearing me ? you are my family . and that is forever . and so , no , i 'm sorry , you do n't get to just , like , send me away because i 'm not going . hope : but -- liam : let me finish ! let me finish . if steffy and the girls need help , of course i will be there for them . of course i will . and , guess what , you will , too . you 'll be right there by my side . yes , we 're mourning . yes , it 's really , really hard , but we 're gon na get through it together , and i am not gon na let you turn away from me . i 'm not . wyatt : i 'm not gon na hide my feelings for you , and i 'm gon na try my hardest to show you how i feel about you in every way that i can . sally : ahh -- oh ! wyatt : okay , ready ? you turn . sally : oh , no . wyatt : did i get you ? i 'm not looking . sally : almost ! hold on , hold on . oh ! wyatt , i got it ! wyatt : did you get it ? sally : wyatt , i 'm really not & the type of girl that needs to hear ... wyatt : i love you . sally : wow . sally : maybe i am the type of girl that need to hear ... wyatt : i hope that smile on your face had something to do with me . sally : well , absolutely wyatt : how did i get so lucky ? oh , wait , i remember . i went out and had a drink one fateful night ... sally : mm - hmm , the crazy night that changed everything . wyatt : mm . i was just -- i was just talking to dad about that . sally : how did that go ? wyatt : oh , you know , it was a productive visit . sally : and ... ? wyatt : oh , he said he wanted to put the family back together and all that , you know . sally : okay ... ? wyatt : oh , i said i 'd help him . yeah , i 'd go back to spencer publications under one condition . sally : wyatt ! why are you making me pry this out of you ? wyatt : because you 're so cute when you 're impatient . sally : okay , well , stop ! wyatt : okay . fine . the one condition , as you know , is i 'm not going back unless you come with me and you design your own line . sally : and bill said ... ? wyatt : do you have a lawyer ? sally : do i need one ? wyatt : i do n't know , i mean , it could n't hurt because , uh ... you 're back in business , baby . sally : no ! oh , my god ! thank you ! wyatt : [ laughs ] sally : [ laughs ] wyatt : yeah . eric : hope is encouraging liam to be with you ? steffy : that 's what liam said . eric : why ? why would she do that ? steffy : i do n't know , maybe it 's her maternal instincts , they 've gone awry . hope ca n't look out for her baby , so she 's looking out for my kids . eric : i suppose maybe that 's it . steffy : and she seems to find some happiness here with the girls , especially with phoebe . eric : why especially phoebe ? steffy : i do n't know . it 's like ... it 's like they had this instant connection . hope wants phoebe to have every advantage . eric : including liam for a father . bill : liam . wow , uh , this is a surprise . and that 's not a complaint , by the way . liam : uh , yeah , actually , i was looking for wyatt . sally said he dropped by , and i texted him . bill : uh , yeah , he was here . he just -- he left a few minutes ago , and , in fact , i think he 's on his way to see sally . uh , liam . since you 're here , uh ... what do you think about that ? liam : sally and -- i think they 're great . i think sally makes wyatt really happy . wait a second , you 're not planning on doing something , are you ? bill : no , no , no , no . no . no , those -- those days are long behind me , um , which i want to talk to you about , but ... can i help you ? you seem like you have something on your mind . liam : um ... yeah , unfortunately , it 's not that simple . in fact , i should -- i should go . bill : no , no . liam , please -- please don't . do n't -- do n't go . liam : [ sighs ] bill : even with what 's happened between us , i -- i 'm still your dad . and if i can help you , in any way , i want to do that . liam : i -- i ca n't be talking to you about it . bill : `` it ? `` does `` it `` mean steffy ? if you have questions , liam , i 'll tell you anything you want to know . liam : no , it 's -- no , it 's about you and steffy . it 's -- it 's about me and steffy . and hope . hope : sorry , i should have called . steffy : no , it 's -- it 's okay . are you all right ? hope : um ... i need to talk to you . about your family and liam . people everywhere sally : wait , is this real ? you 're not messing with me ? wyatt : would i do that ? sally : yes . wyatt : oh , yeah , well , maybe . sally : bill did not laugh you out of his office ? wyatt : no , i mean , he was surprised , and it took him a little time to process my request , but then i had to remind him how horribly he treated you . how systematically and ruthlessly he destroyed your company for a skyscraper he does n't even want anymore . sally : so basically you coerced him . wyatt : yeah , but in , like , the most loving way possible . sally : great , cool . so he 's going into this whole thing being resentful because that will never work . wyatt : no . no . he 's going into this realizing how much i love you . and how important you are to me . sally : wyatt . wyatt : what ? you are . you are . you 're the woman i 've been -- i 've been waiting for . sally : i feel the same way about you . wyatt : i 'm the woman you 've been waiting for ? sally : [ chuckles ] no . wyatt : oh . sorry . sally : yes , i ca n't believe what you 've done for me . wyatt : look , i know that i 'm not -- i 'm not bringing you , like , a firm deal yet , you know , because there 's a lot of details we got to work out . i mean , this is the first time spencer is going into , like , a fashion venture , and it 's gon na take a little time to work everything out . but ... are you in ? like , are you ready to relaunch spectra fashions at my family company ? you and me , working side by side together ? sally : yes . wyatt : yeah ? sally : there is nothing that i want more . wyatt : [ chuckles ] bill : is there trouble between steffy and hope ? liam : uh , no . no , in fact , it 's -- it 's the opposite . hope thinks i should be with kelly and phoebe . bill : `` be with `` -- what does that mean , spend more time ? liam : a lot more time , um ... hope wants me to go back with steffy . steffy : yeah , liam told me the things you 've been saying lately . hope : well , we have to do what 's best for the children . steffy : i agree with him . but i think you 're transferring the maternal instincts that would have gone onto beth onto phoebe and kelly , and i know you 're looking out for me , but what you 're suggesting ... hope : no , do n't you see , steffy ? you have kelly . i had beth . and she 's gone . but phoebe is here now . that precious little angel -- & everything has changed . steffy : okay , your whole world has turned upside - down , but in time , that will -- hope : no , no , time wo n't fix this . i 'm struggling , steffy , and i will continue to struggle as long as i know that i 'm keeping a father from his children . and i respect you so much for choosing to raise these girls on your own , but ... you look exhausted . i mean , how could you not be ? steffy : i 'm -- i 'm fine , hope . do n't worry about me . hope : i ca n't help it . i do . i worry about you , and i worry about the girls . i mean , phoebe and kelly , that 's a lot of work , and liam should be here . steffy : hope , your emotions are out of control . understandably so . you suffered a terrible loss . hope : i 'll never get over it . never . steffy : you will . hope : does n't matter . i do n't matter . our stupid rivalry -- none of it matters , only the children , and we have to put their needs first . and i love liam . of course i do . i will always , always love him . that will never change , but ... i ca n't hold onto him anymore because then i 'd be taking him away from this children , and i could n't live with myself . i have to let him go so that he can be the loving , devoted father that he was destined to be , and he -- he loves you , steffy . and you still love him , and we both know that . you 're his future now , not me . his place is here with you and the girls . . . | liam tells hope that she has to listen to him , what matters to them is `` us `` . she replies no , what matters is those babies . meanwhile steffy is frazzled again trying to work by computer at home and doing all the baby duties for two . eric tells sally that he is glad she and wyatt have found each other . and she is right , she deserves a chance to replace thorne as a designer . bill tells wyatt that he is not going to let him down . if sally is part of their deal , then he welcomes her too , so `` welcome home , son . `` he has missed the energy that he brought around . he just hopes he has not caused any tension between wyatt and sally since he did not always treat her fairly . she might just tell him to go pound sand . he tells wyatt that he wants him to have everything he needs to make the best life for himself . wyatt says he wants that too and he thinks they just might make it . liam continues that hope is kind and generous and her heart is in the right place and she always puts herself last , but there is nothing wrong with the two babies with steffy and he will not let hope push him away . he knows she is profoundly grieving the lost of her child but so is he . and if steffy and the girls need his help then he will be there for them and so will hope . they will make it through this together and he will not let her turn away from him , he just will not . wyatt goes back to forrester and acting coy he tells sally about bill 's offer of him returning to spencer . then he tells her she might need a lawyer as bill wants her also . eric drops in on steffy and is stunned when she says that hope thinks liam should be with her . perhaps it is her maternal instincts just gone awry . |
ridge : oh , thank you for bringing these . they 're my favorite . steffy : [ chuckles ] you 're welcome . so , did you know it was coming ? ridge : did i know what was coming ? steffy : thomas dropping to one knee to propose to zoe ? ridge : [ sighs ] well , dad and i talked to him , and , um , wanted to know if that proposal was about zoe or if it was about hope . steffy : and what did thomas say ? ridge : wants to get on with his life , he said . steffy : okay . skipping down lovers lane hand - in - hand with zoe ? ridge : yeah , it 's what he wants . steffy : and you believe that ? ridge : yes . what 's that face , you do n't ? steffy : [ sighs ] you know , i want to support him , i do , but ... i guess we 'll see what happens . ridge : good . so , you wanted to talk to me about sally . steffy : yes , actually . uh ... take a look at this . i think we got a problem on our hands . ridge : i think sally has a problem . katie : hey . sally ? sally : what ? why wo n't you explore your other treatment options ? you clearly ca n't feel any worse . sally : wrong . sally : you know what would make me feel worse is spending the rest of the time that i have left in doctor 's offices and hospitals . having people find out that i am dying and seeing the look of pity in their eyes , that would make me feel worse . so please promise me you will not say a word to anyone that my life is almost over . wyatt : [ clears throat ] flo : you 're thinking about sally , are n't you ? wyatt : [ sighs ] i -- i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry . flo : no , don't . do n't be . i 'm thinking about her , too . it 's ... [ sighs ] it 's kinda hard not to . wyatt : oh , my -- i 'm having a hard time wrapping my head around sally dying . flo : i know . which is why i think it 's really important that we do what we can to make sure that her last days here are the best that they can be . which means that you need to spend as much time with her , as much time as she 'll let you . wyatt : that means we 're not gon na see each other for a while . flo : we have the rest of our lives together . sally does n't have that kind of time . i think we can make that sacrifice . ridge : well , sally 's never been what you 'd call a -- what , a classic designer , but she 's had her own way of doing things . steffy : yeah . yeah , she had that quirky edge that made her the perfect choice to work with me on my line , but this ? i mean ... she 's been off . putting it mildly . ridge : i just do n't know what happened here . it 's like she started something , then got preoccupied , right ? what 's going on ? steffy : well , there is the whole flo / wyatt situation . ridge : oh , stop . steffy : well , i 'm -- ridge : she 's bounced back from a broken heart before . it 's got ta be something else . katie : sally , please . reconsider . get medical treatment . you can prolong your life . sally : no . katie : well , then , at least tell your friends and your family what you 're going through . let them help , especially wyatt . i know he cares about you . katie : god , stop it , katie ! okay , i 'm not going to put wyatt on my death watch . i care about him too much to scar him like that . besides , he 's -- he 's with flo , anyway . [ text notification chime ] [ sighs ] wyatt wants to see me at spencer . katie : you should go . sally : i really do n't think that 's a good idea . katie : you ca n't cut him out of your life completely . i mean , you say you do n't want to send up red flags . well , do n't you think he 'll be suspicious if you 're completely avoiding him ? sally : dumping me for flo again is n't a good enough reason ? katie : well , does n't that make you curious as to why he wants to see you ? i mean , it makes me curious . if nothing else , it might give you some closure . it could be an important moment for you and -- and for wyatt . can you really afford to blow that off ? sally : i might as well . not doing myself any good here . [ door opens ] bill : sally . you look good . sally : i 'm sorry ? bill : this whole snakeskin thing is just ... works . sally : thanks . bill : you 're welcome . katie : [ scoffs ] wow . smooth . bill : what ? what am i supposed to say , `` sally , you 're looking sickly `` ? that would be rude . come on , i was great . she does n't know that i know . katie : well , she 's on her way to see wyatt . hopefully he did n't inherit your subtlety . flo : still nothing from sally ? wyatt : no . i wonder if that 's her answer . sally : maybe she 's in a meeting or something . wyatt : hey , maybe . [ chuckles ] have i told you how amazing you are lately ? i mean , 'cause you are . you are , like , one of the most amazing people that i have ever met . you have such a -- just the biggest , most generous heart . flo : i think the same thing about you , wyatt . wyatt : [ scoffs ] flo : i do ! i do . [ chuckles ] we have so much . we have so much time ahead of us together . sally doesn't . her time is running out , and if -- if you can help her , if -- if she will let you , it 's really the least we can do . wyatt : i know , it 's just -- i mean , you guys are far from friends . if anything , you -- you guys have been rivals lately , but just the fact that you can put all that aside the minute that you found out sally was sick , and just , i do n't know , insisting that we do everything we can to -- to make sally 's time better is just -- it 's incredible . you know , it 's such an awful situation but you ... you being so determined to make it better , like , that 's -- that 's what we 're gon na do . katie : wyatt wants sally to meet him at spencer . she did n't want to go . bill : but with a little persuasion from you ... katie : just trying do to whatever i can , but i 'm not sure what the right thing is . i mean , like , me telling you and wyatt that sally is dying , and going against her firmly expressed wishes . bill : katie , uh , you and i figured out that keeping secrets from each other leads to disaster . and wyatt deserves to know . katie : well , i agree , obviously , but is that really my call to make ? bill : sally needs wyatt . she does n't know that yet , but trust me , when this ride ... begins winding down , sally 's gon na be very glad she has wyatt by her side . so stop beating yourself up . you have been an incredible friend to sally during the most difficult time of her life . and from some ancillary information that i have gathered she 's gon na be needing that friendship . katie : why ? what are you talking about ? something else happened ? bill : not yet . but from what i 've gathered , sally 's design career at forrester is history . ridge : [ sighs ] we have a tough decision to make . steffy : i know . feels like we 're kicking sally when she 's down . ridge : well , what 's the alternative ? allow her to keep doing this ? this is not finished . steffy : no , no , of course not . i just want to know what 's changed . ridge : i do n't know , that 's life , right ? who knows ? i ca n't get in her head , and that 's not your job either . bottom line is , we ca n't use this on a runway . we have to cancel the showdown . ridge : that 's not all . i think sally 's days here are numbered . flo : it 's probably gon na take a little bit of work . sally seems like the kind of person who really builds her walls up . but , once you get her to believe that you and i are over ... i really think she 's gon na open up to you . wyatt : [ scoffs quietly ] you sound so sure of that . flo : you want to know why ? wyatt : why ? flo : well , firstly , it 's exactly what she wants . wyatt : [ chuckles ] flo : and secondly , she needs you now more than she 's probably ever needed anyone in her entire life . wyatt : yeah , it 's just -- [ intercom beeps ] sorry . yeah . [ clears throat ] now ? yeah , yeah , no , send her up . thank you . uh , sally is on her way up here . flo : okay . well , um , i 'll get out of here , but -- wyatt : okay . flo : good luck . wyatt : thank you . [ clears throat ] hey . sally : do n't make the mistake that you can just summon me and i 'll just trot over here like a good little ex . wyatt : well , i - i 've never known you to be one who trots , though that would be a sight to see . come in . sally : so what is this about , wyatt ? wyatt : i missed you . sally : oh , not this again . wyatt : i -- i mean it , sally . the world has been a sadder , darker place without you in it . sally : funny you should say that . wyatt : i 'm really glad you 're here . wow ! katie : if what you 're saying is true , the timing could not be worse . bill : oh , it 's true . sally 's on thin ice here . katie : how can you draw when your hand is shaking uncontrollably and your head is pounding ? i mean , i knew things were bad , but i had no idea that steffy and ridge were thinking of letting her go . bill : oh , they are . in fact , the decision is all but final . katie : i ca n't let that happen . i won't . steffy : this collaboration should 've worked . [ sighs ] we were gon na do something wild and unexpected , but still have that forrester touch . and at the beginning , sally got it , you know ? there was that balance . kinda doing this dance . and then out of nowhere , things just stopped . [ stammers ] i do n't know why it changed . i really don't . ridge : well , maybe she stepped out of her comfort zone and got lost . that happens . steffy : you think there 's a piece missing somewhere ? ridge : i 'm sure there is , but like i said before , it 's not up to you to find it . ca n't save everybody . this is not your fault . we thought sally was gon na fit in with us , and it -- it just did n't work out . now it 's time for her to go . wyatt : please , sit . [ clears throat ] um ... it 's really great to see you . sally : [ sighs ] sally : you say that . wyatt : well , i mean it . seriously , sally , i - i 've missed you . sally : when would you have time ? i would 've thought that your high school sweetheart has been keeping you pretty occupied with all that lost time to make up for . wyatt : yeah , well , you know what they say , the best laid plans . sally : what is that supposed to mean ? wyatt : look , flo and i have been having some trouble lately . it 's complicated . sally : really ? wyatt : look , some things have happened recently and they 've really opened up my eyes and made me see you with a whole new appreciation . sally : what are you saying ? wyatt : i -- i -- i 'm saying that i -- i deeply regret hurting you . and i do n't even know -- i do n't know what i was thinking , and i just -- i missed you , you know . sally : you keep saying that . wyatt : yeah , because it 's true . and i want to fix this . sally , i want you in my life . humira patients ... steffy : this is the part about being a boss i hate . ridge : you know what , letting someone go is never easy , especially if you like them and respect them . but the good news is , you have a co - ceo who is gon na take care of it , you do n't have to be involved at all . steffy : we got ta do it together . united front . however it 's handled , sally 's gon na take it hard . ridge : i know . but she 's strong , and you know what , you knock her down , she 's gon na come back up stronger , just like her aunt . it 's gon na be okay . [ door opens , knocking ] katie : hey . ridge : hey . i was just about to call you in . katie : um ... why ? what 's going on ? steffy : well , we were just talking about sally . her designs are n't up to our standards . ridge : and as head of pr , you should be in the loop . we 're gon na let her go . steffy : yeah . katie : no , no , you -- you ca n't do that . ridge : what ? what are you saying ? katie : you can not fire sally . ridge : of -- steffy : her designs are n't cutting it . ridge : yeah . sorry . steffy : she 's determined and she 's strong . she has a long career ahead & of her , katie . ridge : just not here . steffy : yeah . katie : see , uh , that 's -- that 's the thing . she ... she does n't have a long career ahead of her . ridge : what are you doing ? what 's going on ? katie : [ whispers ] oh , god , this is so hard . um ... can you just take my word for it that firing sally right now is the worst thing -- ridge : no , i ca n't take your word for it . what are you doing ? steffy : it 's a business decision . katie : it 's so much more than that . [ sighs ] i probably should n't be saying anything . she does n't want anyonenow the truth , but ... she does n't have much time left . she 's dying . wyatt : i want to spend some time with you . sally : okay , i 'm gon na need some help here . i thought you and flo were happy . wyatt : well , i -- you know , it just did n't -- it did n't work out the way we planned . things got complicated . wyatt : so now you want to be with me . wyatt : look , i understand if you 're skeptical . all right ? i know that i hurt you , and i -- i understand if you want to just shut down and close off on me , but i really wish you wouldn't . like , i just -- i hope you could just give me some time to convince you that i deserve it . sally : i do n't have time . wyatt : what do -- what do you mean by that ? sally ? sally : look , wyatt , i -- i do n't know what happened between you and flo , okay ? i do n't know if you guys got in a disagreement , or a fight , or someone cheated , but i 'm sure that you guys can work it out , okay ? just go -- go be with her . that 's what you really want . wyatt : no , what i want more than anything is to be with you . sally : damn it , wyatt ! do you know how much you hurt me when you left me twice ? wyatt : yes , i do , and i really want to make that up to you . sally : i wish you could . really , i wanted to spend every spare moment of my life with you , but i ... that 's not an option for me anymore . wyatt : okay , well , look , & let 's just -- i do n't want to -- i do n't want to focus on the big picture here . that always just gets us into trouble anyway . i want to focus on now , right here . this moment . you standing here in front of me and me standing here just desperately -- just wanting to hold you . can i do that ? sally : [ sobs ] you do n't know how much i needed this . life sucks sometimes . wyatt : look , i just -- i need -- i want you to hear me . all right ? i know how strong you are , i know how independent you are . i know you do n't need me . but i 'm here anyway . just wanting to be a part of your life , all right ? the days of you feeling alone are over , okay ? i 'm here -- i 'm right here . and you can count on me . i -- i will be a rock . i will be your strength . i will be whatever you need me to be . i will always be here for you , sally . | katie is in sally 's office , once again trying to convince her to go back to the doctor for her follow - up appointment and treatment , and to let wyatt know that she 's dying . sally refuses . she does n't want to spend her remaining days at the doctors , and she does n't want to make wyatt pity her . wyatt texts her , asking her to stop by his office at spencer publications . katie urges her to go . sally decides to go . as she 's leaving , bill comes in . he awkwardly tells sally that she looks good . she 's surprised that he 's being nice to her and leaves . katie chides him gently for not being very subtle . katie wonders if she did the right thing , telling bill and wyatt about sally . he thinks she did the right thing as well as being friends with sally , supporting her . katie is shocked when bill tells her that sally might lose her job . katie heads over to forrester to tell ridge and steffy that they ca n't fire sally . meawhile , ridge and steffy catch up in the office at forrester . she 's brought in pastries , so ridge is grateful . she wonders about thomas ' sudden proposal to zoe . ridge tells her about how he and eric questioned thomas about it . he 's convinced that his feelings for zoe are real . then they talk about how bad sally 's designs have been . ridge decrees that they need to let sally go , and steffy reluctantly agrees . katie arrives , so they tell her that they plan to fire sally because her designs are no good . katie reluctantly tells them that sally is dying . |

( door opens ) ( door closes ) brooke : i never suggested that steffy leave the company forever -- just a few months . ridge : this is not a problem that time is gon na solve here . my daughter will not be forced out to pave the way for your son . brooke : then what are we going to do , ridge ? eric and i both know that you 're not ready to forgive rick for what happened to phoebe , and i did n't coerce steffy into making this decision . steffy : no , i want to do this , because i care about him , and i know you do n't want to hear it , because you do n't trust him . ridge : no , i do n't trust him . i will never trust him , and nothing 's gon na change that . brooke : ridge , he saved your life , and i am so grateful for that . you should be , too , at least enough to give him a chance here at forrester . he is my son , and he 's eric 's son . he belongs at forrester . rick : uh , hey , mom , do you have any extra room in your car ? i have a lot of boxes of my stuff that i need to get out of here . ridge : well , you really did a number on them , did n't you ? brooke : ( sighs ) rick : sorry , am i missing something ? ridge : you manipulated them both into deciding that steffy should go so you could stay . rick : is that true ? wow , i had no idea . thank you . obviously , you 're not on board with that whole thing . that 's a shocker . brooke : ( sighs ) rick : thank you both so much for your support . i really appreciate it , especially you . ( laughs ) ridge : logan , i 'd like a moment alone with you . katie : just keep your statement short and to the point . that way , the press wo n't have time to read between the lines and make their own assumptions . eric : yeah . truthfully , i just want to get this thing over with . owen : thorne . thorne : hey , owen , i 'm glad you 're here . owen : yeah , i was told to come here for a press conference . what 's going on ? thorne : yeah . they 're naming me president . ( sighs ) owen : congratulations , man . that 's good news . thorne : yeah . thank you . once i take over , there 's going to be some changes around here , as well . owen : look , if you need anything from me , you let me know . thorne : well , you 're either loyal to the forresters , or you 're out . owen : loyalty to your family is no longer an issue for me . thorne : good . let 's keep it that way . owen : look , i know that the numbers for the surf line were n't exactly as high as we were forecasting , but i 'd love it if you 'd give me another chance to try to turn things around . thorne : well , i 've come to learn that you 're a very stand - up guy , so you take care of me , i 'll take care of you . owen : i got your back , man . you can count on me . thorne : good . taylor : do you honestly believe brooke is going to stick to this decision and just allow her son to be publicly dismissed ? stephanie : well , it 's -- it 's really out of her hands by now . although , i have to say , it 's -- it 's a really difficult position for any mother to be in . taylor : i 'm glad it 's not me . ( sniffles ) stephanie : she did n't have a choice , did she ? i do n't think she could have made any other decision and had any hope of holding onto ridge . taylor : yes , but now that rick has saved ridge 's life , i have to wonder if that might change things . pam : so , uh , what 's all the hoopla about ? new president ? i 'd say it 's about time after what you did to poor phoebe . steffy : hey , rick is n't responsible for what happened to my sister . pam : of course he is , steffy . c - could you help me with something , actually , for a minute over here ? steffy : ( sighs ) ( whispering indistinctly ) rick : ( clears throat ) pam : ( whispering indistinctly ) rick : hey , marcus , where 's your uniform ? marcus : it 's at the dry cleaners . why , what 's it to you ? you know , i heard there 's some big announcement today . and for steffy 's sake , i sure hope it 's that you 're leaving . steffy : hey . hey , marcus . look , i 'm sorry what happened between us , but please do not take it out on rick . he saved my dad 's life today . ridge : it 's wrong of you to suggest my daughter leave . brooke : i thought it would be a temporary solution . ridge : really ? a solution given by your son ? come on , brooke , you 're still being played by him . brooke : no , i 'm not . ridge : yes , you are . think about it . where did the suggestion of steffy leaving actually come from ? brooke : ridge , it was my idea from the beginning . ridge : knowing how happy i am to have steffy here working at this company , huh ? no , brooke . i think it came from somewhere else . honestly , was it your idea , or did rick plant the seed in your mind ? you may have seen some yaz commercials recently ... stephanie : wait a minute . you think that brooke would really renege on having rick leave with everything that she 'd lose ? taylor : well , her word has n't exactly been her honor . stephanie : she promised ridge that she 'd send that boy packing , and i 'm gon na see to it that she does . jarrett : you know , we 've been waiting quite a long time . uh , any idea when the press conference will begin ? pam : golly , i hope soon . it 's getting kind of hot in here . jarrett : mm . so what goes on around here behind closed doors ? hmm ? uh , off the record , of course . pam : off the record ? i 'm no dummy , jarrett . jarrett : ( sighs ) well , at least tell me why it 's taken forrester creations so long to come up with a new line . pam : pushy little fellow , are n't you ? ( laughs ) jarrett : well ... pam : i 'll let eric know you 're here . jarrett : ( sighs ) ( door opens ) pam : the , uh , press is here . they 're getting a little anxious . jake : hmm , yeah , you -- uh , you know what ? that 's my cue to leave , all right ? just get it . marcus : okay . katie : we 're running late . eric : ( sighs ) thorne : where are ridge and brooke ? felicia : and our erstwhile president rick ? eric : ( sighs ) rick : i still ca n't believe that you would step down from this company for me . do you have any idea how much that means to me ? steffy : it 's not fair they 're making you leave . you should be here . rick : ( sighs ) you know what ? i was talking to my mom about how much i really want to stay here , and i think that i was implying that -- that i should stay and -- and you should go . not -- not that i think that my career is more important than yours , and i know that this company is just as much your legacy as it is mine -- steffy : no , no , no . you have made a much bigger contribution than i have . you 've been with the company for years . i think the shipping department can manage without me for a few months . rick : ( laughs ) steffy : but hey , i 'm -- i 'm glad what you said to your mom . you deserve to be here . you 've earned it . i just really hope you 're able to stay . i really mean that . rick : i just do n't really like my chances right now . but , you know what i do know ? steffy : what ? ric i guess my work over at forrester international does n't matter -- that i brought in millions and millions of sales . i 'll accept this . if only one of us can stay , naturally , yeah , it would be ridge 's daughter . brooke : rick does feel he deserves the right to keep his position in the company . ridge : after everything he 's pulled ? brooke : he also feels he should be allowed to stay . but he said , if it could only be one of them , of course it would be steffy . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : he is not manipulating me , ridge . ridge : really ? brooke : if steffy wants to step aside for rick , why are you standing in her way ? ridge : because she does n't really want to leave . she 's only doing it because she feels she has to do it for rick . brooke : he 's not forcing her into anything . ridge : oh , come on . he 's got a hold over steffy . the guy 's a compulsive liar and manipulator . brooke : you 're talking about my son . ridge : you know i 'm right , brooke . otherwise you would n't have agreed to have him leave in the first place . i ca n't talk about this anymore . brooke : ridge -- ridge : look , i have bent over backwards to try and keep rick from coming between us . but my patience is really running out here . for you , me and our marriage , brooke , i 'm begging you . you 've got to let go of this . so guess what . . your body is a beautiful piece of engineering . ( indistinct conversations ) stephanie : is n't it time to start ? where 's ridge and brooke ? steffy : brooke has a very difficult decision to make . stephanie : what 's difficult ? she 's already made it . rick 's leaving the company . steffy : well , someone has to go , whether it 's rick or not . brooke : please , ridge , do n't let this affect our relationship . ridge : i wo n't , if you stop letting rick manipulate you . brooke : he 's not manipulating me , although i do understand your issues with him . ridge : then you should understand why i clearly can not accept any of this . brooke : he saved your life . ridge : brooke , you keep saying that , but what does that really mean here ? that if he 's as bad as i make him out to be , he would have just let me fall to my death ? come on , brooke . what , clearing the way to inherit the family dynasty and my daughter , too ? brooke : my son would never do that . do n't even think it . ridge : really ? really ? well , i looked in his eyes when he was holding me , and he hesitated . he thought about it . ( door opens ) katie : hey , um , sorry , but we have to start . ( whispers indistinctly ) brooke : what you 're saying -- ridge : it 's true , logan . it 's very true . i 'm telling you , he 's got to go . ( indistinct conversations ) eric : rick saved ridge 's life ? is that true ? brooke : yes . but it has n't changed anything for ridge . eric : so the decision has been made , and it still stands ? rick is leaving . all right . hello , everyone . thanks for being here . i know there 's a great deal of interest in when we 're going to deliver our overdue line . i 'll speak to that in a moment . first , i 'd like to say something about our executive staff here at forrester creations . many of you are aware that my son , rick forrester jr . , was awarded the presidency here at forrester , uh , based on his work at forrester international . i 'm very proud of everything that he was able to accomplish there , and that 's why , uh , it is with a great deal of , um -- brooke : we are both very proud of our son . brooke : ( sighs ) um , uh , forrester creations has experienced its own struggles and crises . but this is a family business , and we all are committed to seeing this legacy through . eric , he 's -- he 's been wonderful . he 's been very nurturing to all of the children , and he would bring them here when they were very little to learn and to grow . and i must say , each and every one of them , they 're very grateful for all of the opportunities that they 've had . i ... ( sighs ) came here to make an announcement , and , uh , i , uh -- ( laughs ) excuse me . i 'm sorry . um ... ( sniffles ) how -- how do we handle adversity ? by just giving up ? no . no , the forresters do n't give up . they do n't give up on anything . they do n't give up on anyone . but sometimes , there are problems that arise ... ( sighs ) and sometimes , they -- they ca n't be rectified . ( sighs ) so i 've -- ( sighs ) i 've had to make one of the most difficult decisions during my career here at forrester creations . i am going to make a life - changing announcement , something that is going to affect all of our lives and this company forever . | ridge grouses that they all ca n't stay at forrester creations and play nice . brooke ca n't ask his daughter to leave just so her son can stay . he wo n't allow that . it 's as simple as this , steffy stays , rick goes ! he accuses brooke of having rick manipulate her and plant this seed in her mind that steffy leave so rick can stay . he says that she knows how much he likes steffy working there , so she 's definitely going against his wishes to push for this . before he walks away , he tells her for the sake of their marriage that she has to let this go . owen wishes to speak with rick about the surf line , but rick brushes him off . he says the line has tanked and if he 's still president after today , rick will be firing him . felicia tells thorne she ca n't wait to celebrate and get little napoleon out of here . owen assures thorne that he is on his side and can be counted on . stephanie speaks with taylor and apprises her of the circumstances with the press conference today . rick manages to unnerve marcus in just a moment 's passing in the hall . steffy tells rick that he 's made a bigger contribution to forrester so of course he should stay and she should leave . pam tells eric that the press is getting antsy . eric starts the press conference , but with no warning brooke walks up and takes over the mike . regrettably she says she has a life changing announcement to make , one that will affect all of their lives and change forrester forever . |
brooke : i ca n't believe you 're doing this . taylor : i ca n't believe you 're still whining about this . steffy : mom is not selling her part of the company . she 's made that very clear , brooke . brooke : what 's clear is the influence your grandmother still has over taylor . taylor : think whatever you like . i 'm not changing my mind . steffy : or how much she has to contribute to forrester . hope : oh , wake up , steffy . this is a fashion house . your mother is a psychiatrist . steffy : so ? bridget 's a doctor , and she 's at jackie m. she 's made her mark there . ridge : okay , you two . come on . come on . let 's not belabor this . taylor made her decision . taylor : even if it 's not the decision your father wanted me to make . [ scene_break ] owen : come on , beautiful . jackie : what ? owen : let 's call it a day . come on . jackie : ( sighs ) owen : let 's head back to our place , and we 'll stop by chuck 's . we 'll get a nice six - pack and a bucket of wings , and maybe i 'll build a fire , and , uh , yeah . i know . what am i saying ? this sounds more like your son 's idea of a romantic evening . jackie : ( chuckles ) mm - hmm . owen : lucky for you , your husband is much more imaginative . jackie : mm . owen : ooh , what 's wrong ? what 's wrong ? jackie : um , nicky was by earlier . he 's invited aggie over to their place for dinner in hopes of relieving some of the tension between his wife and their surrogate . owen : ooh , and how does bridget feel about that ? i mean , she does know what nick 's up to , right ? jackie : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] nick : hey ! bridget : hi ! oh , my goodness , is it just me , or does jack have every little girl in the neighborhood and their moms wrapped around his finger ? nick : ( laughs ) mrs. bachman invited him to have dinner again ? bridget : she adores him , just like her daughter amanda does . what can i do ? nick : you can open the wine . bridget : okay . nick : a very special barolo for the very special pasta . bridget : oh , you 're doing your famous manicotti again ? nick : ( italian accent ) i can not tell a lie . the pasta -- ( normal voice ) it 's from that little famous bistro we like . bridget : oh . ( laughs ) nick : i ordered it from there . they 're running a little behind . bridget : oh , they 're very good . thank you . nick : mm - hmm . bridget : i noticed you set the table for three . did you forget jack was n't eating with us ? nick : there 's something that i wanted to talk to you about . someone 's gon na join us for dinner . bridget : you invited someone for dinner without telling me ? nick : well , you just got home . i really have n't had a chance . bridget : you could have told me at the office . nick : well , i did tell you i was cooking dinner . bridget : i know , but i assumed that would be for you and me . ( doorbell rings ) nick : ah , that 's probably our food now . bridget : or our mystery guest . i 'll get it . ( sighs ) hi . ( gasps ) what are you doing here ? aggie : nick invited me . nick : which i was just about to tell bridget , when the doorbell rang . bridget : my god , nick . this is who you invite for dinner ? ( scoffs ) what are you thinking ? [ scene_break ] ridge : taylor . taylor : no , ridge . ridge , it 's okay . you voiced your opinion , and you supported your wife like any loyal husband would , and , um , i 'm just saying that i intend to make the most of my investment opportunity , and i 'm going to do everything i can to make the best future for our children and our family , and never again will forresters be persona non grata in their own building , not if i have anything to say about it . hope : which you do , thanks to your daughter . meanwhile , my mom just gets pushed aside ? ridge : sweetheart , nobody 's getting pushed aside here except bill and katie . taylor : the point i 'm making is that i intend to be the most supportive partner to your father and to your grandparents as i can be , because i love them , and i respect them . and i love you , and i respect you . and i 'm not going to apologize for that -- to you or anyone . brooke : what exactly are you trying to say ? taylor : what part of `` i 'm not going to apologize for loving ridge `` did you not understand ? brooke : because he 's your children 's father . taylor : that , too . not that you have any reason to be threatened . brooke : no , no , i 'm not threatened . taylor : and i am never going to allow my children 's legacy to be threatened again . and i 'm not going to allow them to be marginalized or fired on a whim . brooke : katie never fired anybody on a whim . and she was n't naive either -- something i thought you would never be , but now i 'm beginning to wonder . taylor : let me tell you what i 'm starting to wonder -- why you 're standing there wasting your breath and wasting my time when you know ... brooke : ( sighs ) taylor : that i am not going to change my mind no matter how much you talk . ( clears throat ) now if you will excuse me . brooke : where are you going ? taylor , come back here . taylor : i 'm busy . brooke : we 're not finished yet ! [ scene_break ] jackie : i very much doubt that bridget would have agreed to having aggie over if nicky had told her in advance . owen : instead , he decides to spring it on her at the last minute ? jackie : yeah , but still , things ca n't go on this way , can they ? i mean , bridget being so harsh to the woman who is carrying their child . it 's ... owen : can you blame bridget for acting that way ? jackie : no , i 'm not blaming anyone , darling . i just do n't understand how my loving , forgiving daughter - in - law ca n't get past what 's happened . i mean , it is true -- aggie was n't exactly forthcoming about herself , but she had her reasons , and no great harm was done . owen : thank god . look , if aggie would have just been honest from the beginning -- but no . instead , she decided to be somebody that she 's not , and they chose her to be their surrogate . no wonder why bridget feels betrayed . i 'd feel the exact same way if i wanted a child as badly as she did and i was deceived like that . [ scene_break ] aggie : maybe i should just go . nick : no , no . now you and bridget are gon na learn to get along again . aggie : look , i want that as much as you do , nick , but how 's that supposed to happen when your wife wo n't even look at me ? bridget : oh , please . do n't you dare blame me . i did not create this situation . you did with your secrets and your lies and your outpouring of love for my husband . nick : okay , okay , okay . bridget , can we just please -- bridget : no , nick , we ca n't ! we ca n't just calmly sit down and discuss this . i do n't believe a word that comes out of her mouth , and i thought you understood that . nick : i do understand that , but i believe this is about much more that the situation with aggie . now come on . let 's get real here . this has to do with what 's happened in our marriage before all this ... bridget : ( scoffs ) nick : the betrayal , the mistrust . and it 's about this situation bringing up those old feelings . bridget : no , nick , i 'm not blaming her when i 'm still upset with you . i 'm sorry . you 're wrong . i have dealt with those feelings . nick : and you can deal with this . you can , because you 're the most kind- hearted , level - minded woman that i know . and i know this is n't what you want . you told me this is n't how you want this baby brought into the world , with all the stress and tension . i know that , and it can change . that can change . we can deal with all of that here now . that 's why tonight 's so important . [ scene_break ] hope : you do know that what your mother did to mine is unfair , right ? or , hey , maybe that was your real motivation for getting the company back -- putting your mom in power over mine . steffy : it 's not about that , hope . hope : look , steffy , my mom 's not a quitter . she is not going to give up , and she will chase taylor all over l.a. , and she will get her place back at forrester . steffy : mnh - mnh . i do n't think so .

[ scene_break ] jackie : it has n't gone away , has it ? owen : what ? jackie : your desire to have a baby . that 's why you 're so supportive of bridget , because you know what it 's like to want a baby so much , to want to be a parent , to raise a family . owen : i have a family . jackie : ( sighs ) owen : you are my family . you are . but you 're right . i do still think about it .

taylor : liam 's coming back . steffy : liam ... brooke : where 's hope ? liam : gone . brooke : what do you mean , `` gone `` ? liam : i mean she left . brooke : you just let her go ? liam : yeah , brooke , i did . taylor : liam , you made the right choice . you two have a lot of plans to make , so i 'll let you do that . [ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] oh , god . i told myself i would n't do this . how many tears , you know ? they have to dry up at some point . brooke : liam 's staying with steffy . hope : she 's pregnant . you know , for liam , there 's -- there 's no other choice . brooke : that 's not true . they do n't have to be a couple to raise this child . hope : i know , and i - i pointed that out to him , but that 's -- you know , having no dad around is kind of a hot button for liam , because -- you know , even though bill did n't know he had a son , it does n't change how liam grew up . so it 's important to him that both parents are around . brooke : but , honey , this is different . he does know about this baby , and he can be an active participant in this child 's life . he just does n't have to live with the mother . hope : i know , i know , i know , but that 's just -- you know , liam is n't wired that way . and steffy -- steffy knows that . brooke : [ sighs ] i have to wonder if steffy planned this . hope : she says no . brooke : well , yeah . yeah , of course she says no . she would n't want to admit this sort of thing . hope : it does n't -- you know , it does n't matter now , because the baby is real , and liam -- liam 's not gon na turn his back on his child ... or steffy . [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] bill : taylor . to what do i owe this unexpected surprise ? taylor : i wanted to be the first to congratulate you . bill : congratulate me . okay . i 'll play . what did i do ? taylor : you made a son who made a baby with my daughter . bill : what ? taylor : we 're going to be grandparents . is that the best news you ever heard , or what ? [ scene_break ] liam : this is such a surprise . steffy : yeah . tell me about it . liam : but you 're -- i mean , you 're happy , right ? steffy : of course , i am . what about you ? liam : i mean ... yeah . i 'm just -- i 'm st -- [ chuckles ] still kind of processing . steffy : yeah , i 've had a little longer to let it sink in . i know . it 's a -- it 's a big , scary proposition . liam : can i , um ... steffy : you never have to ask . liam : kind of quiet in there . steffy : for now . liam : wow . [ chuckling ] we 're having a baby . we 're having a baby . [ scene_break ] bill : so , you just brought me the best news i 've had since katie came . and you were there for that , too . you 're popping up in my life quite a bit lately , are n't you , taylor ? taylor : i guess . get used to it . we 're grandparents now . bill : yeah . i 'm sure you 'll have a lot of opinions . taylor : and i 'll have no problem sharing them . bill : some things never change . taylor : look who 's talking , mr. control freak . bill : but , you see , that 's what 's great about grandkids . no matter how much you try , there 's only so much control you can exert if you 're not mom or dad . taylor : i 'm just still so blown away by this whole thing , and i 've known for a while . i ca n't believe it -- my baby is having a baby with the man she adores . bill : and they 'll be raising it together -- make it all the sweeter . taylor : it was a close call . brooke almost had liam roped and tied . she went and got that priest all the way from italy and flew him in . she barged into forrester and got the staff there to put together this -- this whole wedding without liam knowing . and they went out to his house , and she re - created italy . it was crazy . i could n't even believe it . i do n't even think hope had any idea what was going on . bill : poor kid . blindsided twice in one day . taylor : is that , um , empathy i 'm hearing for hope ? [ scene_break ] liam : this is so weird . we created a brand - new life -- you and me . steffy : the most important thing we 'll ever do . liam : you know , when you think about it -- when you just try to imagine what it 's like -- it 's nothing compared to the reality of -- there 's really a baby coming . [ chuckling ] steffy : i ca n't wait to see your face the first time you hold this child . and you 're gon na be an amazing father . but you do n't have to stay with me to be that . i know you 're thinking about hope . and if that 's who you want ... then go be with her . [ scene_break ] hope : i 'm trying really hard not to be resentful . children are wonderful . they 're miracles . and i should be so happy for liam , because he 's going to be such a great dad . he really -- he is . but i 'm having some trouble getting there . it was n't supposed to be this way . i was supposed to be the one having his children , and now -- now it just seems like this dream that i once had . [ inhales , exhales raggedly ] brooke : a lot 's come between you and liam . most of it , no fault of your own . hope : i know , and that 's what kills me . it was never our feelings that changed . it was always somebody else 's agenda getting in the way . brooke : i just do n't understand how liam could let this happen . hope : maybe ... subconsciously it 's -- it 's what he wanted . brooke : no . no , i do n't believe that . he was as shocked as anybody when steffy made that announcement -- five minutes before he was going to recommit himself to you . hope : was he ? i wonder -- i wonder about that , because -- i do n't know . maybe -- maybe he was just gearing up to let me down easy . brooke : is that what you saw in his eyes , standing there , with the memories of italy all around ? father fontana standing there ready to make your marriage official ? hope : no , i saw love . [ sniffles ] but it does n't matter ... because steffy is pregnant with his baby . brooke : i should know how to comfort you ... and the right things to say . i know how you feel , honey . i 've been there . all the pain . but what seems impossible today really can just be an obstacle that you work through tomorrow . hope : [ sighs ] i do n't see how . i could tell myself that steffy did n't matter ... that the bond i have with liam is so much stronger . but now there 's this baby . and i do n't -- i do n't want to try to compete with a baby . brooke : my heart is breaking that you 're going through this right now . hope : i know . brooke : i 'm sorry . hope : it 's okay . your support means everything to me . brooke : and you 'll always have it . oh , honey , is there anything i can do for you ? hope : [ sighs deeply ] um -- [ sniffles ] send me back in time so i never moved out of liam 's house in the first place . um -- god , why did i make it so hard to live with him ? now it 's steffy 's house . [ sniffles ] it 's the house where she 's gon na be raising her child ... with the man that should be mine . [ sniffles ] oh ! i hope it 's -- i ca n't be here anymore . brooke : i 'll take you home . hope : okay . thank you . [ scene_break ] bill : look , i do n't dislike hope . i certainly do n't wish her any harm . but i just did n't think she was an appropriate partner for my son . so now that she 's out of the picture , sure , i can spare a little empathy . taylor : are we positive about that ? hope being out of the picture , i mean . your son 's been known to fluctuate . bill : ah , do n't worry about that . there was n't a baby before . my son is fully committed to your daughter . that 's the kind of man he is . grandpa dollar bill . who 'd believe it ? just a few short years ago , i 'm the most eligible bachelor in the world , and now i 've got the family that just keeps on giving . katie . liam shows up . now katie and i have will . my sister , her partner . and my son 's giving me a grandchild . taylor : i hope you 're not overwhelmed . bill : in the best way possible . taylor : oh , you 'll do great . bill : you think so ? taylor : yeah . i 've seen you with will . actually , you 've surprised me . he brings out your sensitive side . bill : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , he 's my little man . those tiny , little creatures . innocent . totally dependent on basically clueless grown - ups for their well- being . taylor : yeah . they do n't come with a manual , that 's for sure . it would be nice . bill : [ chuckles ] taylor : you think our kids are ready for it ? bill : is anyone ? babies come , ready or not . well , i imagine this was a big blow for brooke . taylor : well , maybe she should stop meddling in people 's lives and planning weddings that people have n't agreed to . bill : oh , wow . uh , you know , i 'm late for a meeting . we got to have dinner , celebrate . taylor : yes . you just say when and where . bill : well , thanks for the news ... grandma . taylor : you know what ? i actually do n't mind hearing that . it makes me very happy . [ scene_break ] liam : [ smooches ] you 're having my baby . steffy : but i do n't want us to be together because i 'm just the mother of your baby . we can share custody . liam : no , no . no . i 'm raising our kid with you . two parents in a stable home living together -- everything that we did n't have . the next chapter of our lives is beginning , and i know where i belong . i know where my place is . it 's with you -- and the baby . steffy : only if you 're sure , liam . i can not be second best . liam : i am . i am .

[ scene_break ] steffy : is this really happening ? liam : definitely . steffy : this is everything that i have ever wanted . you and me and our -- our little one . [ chuckling ] our baby . liam : it 's mind - boggling . steffy : it 's unbelievable . liam : it 's insane . steffy : it 's meant to be . this is what it was leading to all along -- that we would end up right here . and it 's gon na be so good . you ca n't even imagine . singer : hold me close never let go do n't need words we already know everything i am i can see it in your eyes and all i ever needed now i realize you and i are beautiful together our time is now till forever you 're every breath i live to breathe in every moment , you are all i need we 're beautiful together . every day is a dream come true 'cause you got me and i got you | brooke , steffy and taylor are stunned that liam comes back inside without hope . he tells them that she is gone . brooke ca n't believe that he just let her go , but he said he did . she grabs her purse and goes to find hope . steffy immediately runs to hug liam . taylor smiles and says he made the right choice . she knows they have a lot of plans to make so she is going to take off too . hope is devastated as she sits in the car . brooke hops in and comforts her . they both agree that liam did n't have to make this choice . he could be a father without marrying steffy , but hope knows he grew up without a father and how that affected him and he would not want a child of his to be raised with two separate parents . liam is just not wired that way and steffy knew that also . brooke still is n't so sure that steffy did n't plan this . hope says it does n't matter now as liam will not turn his back on his child nor steffy either . |

steffy : hope , please listen to me . hope : no , i can't . i ca n't live with the knowledge that i 'm keeping liam from your children . steffy : hope , you 're a woman of substance . for years , yeah , i underestimated you . we were young . and i was selfish . hope : steffy ... steffy : listen , the one thing i had to learn the hard way -- when you 're hurt and when you 're willing to do everything to make it stop , you need to force yourself to sit with it instead . the surest way to a catastrophe is to do something drastic to stop the pain . that 's why i 'm alone . it cost me my marriage . but that does n't have to happen to you . liam : i 'm sorry , i do n't even -- i do n't know even know why i said that . bill : no , wait , wait . liam -- liam , come on , i mean , you ca n't drop a bomb on me like that and not flesh it out . liam , please . liam : what am i doing -- no , i ca n't talk to you about this . bill : liam ! son ! i get it . i do . but if steffy , the mother of your child , my grandchild , is going to be a forbidden topic of conversation for us , the only thing we 're ever gon na talk about is the freakin ' weather ! look , i -- i am painfully aware of why you and steffy are n't together . but if what you 're saying is that hope , your wife , is saying that 's a mistake that needs to be corrected ... do you ? is that what you want ? sally : spectra is rising from the ashes , all thanks to you . wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , there are still negotiations to be had , like ... what if dad wants to call it something stupid , like `` spenstra , `` you know ? he 's gon na try and put his name in there , or something . sally : yeah , okay , well , if i 'm starting from a `` yes , `` i think i can pretty much negotiate anything . wyatt : true . true . sally : no one has ever stood up for me the way that you have . wyatt : well , to be fair , my brother tried . sally : yeah , but that was different . wyatt : why , because we did n't get blown up ? sally : hey ! do n't laugh ! wyatt : i just -- sally : that can really ruin your day . wyatt : yeah . yeah . sally : and i thought it ruined my life . but then there was you . wyatt : you ... [ chuckles ] sally : so your father must really want you back ... wyatt : [ chuckles ] sally : if he wants to take us on as a package deal . wyatt : well , i think being in competition with ridge forrester also appeals to him . sally : so , when are we gon na tell steffy ? wyatt : no . no , no . we need to make sure that this arrange is signed , sealed , and delivered . sally : okay , but what if he tells her first ? wyatt : no . he wo n't do that . trust me , he needs to keep his distance , otherwise , he 's gon na be radioactive all over again , and he knows it . i do believe , though , he 's done with this mid - life crisis thing . he wants to be a family man again . the only thing missing is ... the family he exploded . katie : hey . donna : hey . my turn to go back to work . katie : yeah , uh , will 's home ? donna : yeah , he 's outside playing a game i do n't understand with a toy i ca n't identify . katie : that sounds about right . anyone call ? donna : expecting a call , from thorne , maybe ? katie : uh , no , i do n't think i 'm gon na be hearing from him for a while . donna : oh , so from bill , then ? katie : bill does n't call . he barges in . bill : all right , fine . your wife wants to leave you and you do n't want to talk to me about it . liam : no , you see ? you see how you are ? i never said that . bill : liam , your wife wants you to be with somebody else . is that really so different ? liam : [ sighs ] you have never understood hope . bill : well , she 's a different hope . and i 'm a different me . but i know that she has loved you steadfastly for years . somehow , that 's changed ? hope : you did n't lose liam . i mean , not really , and he still loves you , steffy . steffy : liam and i did n't come to this arrangement on our own . we set goals , we made decisions . hope : and that was when we all still believed that he was having a child with me , and now that 's never gon na happen . steffy : you do n't know what the future holds . hope : no ! no , i can't . i ca n't go through another pregnancy again . i ca n't lose another child . steffy : do n't say that . hope : i do n't even know why i 'm married anymore . i mean , you 're more his wife than i am at this point . steffy : hope , what are you talking about ? you have the man . you have the ring . hope : and you have his children . steffy : child . liam has no relation to phoebe . hope : and that could change once you 're back together . and i know , you do n't have to say it , it 's sweet of you not to , but ... i know you want the same thing , too . what about this guy ? sally : are you thinking or frowning ? wyatt : uh , thinking . that requires every muscle above my neck . sally : thinking about ... the correct answer would be me . wyatt : you -- you , yeah . mm - hmm . yeah . sally : mm - hmm . wyatt : you know how cows have stomachs ? well , i have two brains , and one of them is always thinking about you . sally : that 's very smooth . wyatt : [ laughs ] and the other one is thinking about my brother . sally : liam ? why ? > wyatt : well , if my dad is serious about putting the family back together , liam can bargain just like i did . sally : okay , but what does bill have , or what can bill do that liam would want ? wyatt : good question . that 's why i 'm frowning . i mean , liam does n't care about the money , and i doubt that he cares about the job . sally : yeah , but i think he does care about having a father . wyatt : you know him better than i thought . i mean , he 's already made amends with will , so there 's no bargaining needed . but there 's just one more family member who he stomped on mercilessly , and her name 's not even spencer anymore . donna : okie dokie , i 'm heading back to forrester . katie : i hope pam 's in a good mood . donna : oh , no , she does n't really give me grief about my hurs . it 's nice to be able to come and -- well , this is n't really my home . katie : it is your home . you can stay here as long as you want . donna : i 'm checking the real estate listings every day . katie : why , you want your privacy , is that it ? donna : mm , you know , what if , uh , somebody else moves in ? katie : somebody like who ? donna : oh , i do n't know ... somebody you and will both know . katie : well , i ca n't imagine who that somebody would be , since i 'm lavishing all my attention on my son . donna : will does seem pretty happy these days . katie : yeah , he is . donna : especially when bill 's around . katie : [ sighs ] donna : imagine how happy he 'd be if his father were here every day . bye . katie : bye . [ door closes ] liam : i think that hope feels so alone that she 's putting up fences . i think that 's what happening . i mean , we all lost a family member that day , but it was different for hope , you know ? she really knew beth . she was with beth every hour of every day . bill : she thinks that nobody can understand . liam : yeah , it 's like her whole future just collapsed around her , and the only thing that 's making her feel better is time with the little ones , especially phoebe , and ... that 's a problem because it 's like hope is -- is transferring to phoebe all the love she does n't get to give beth now . bill : that child already has a mother in steffy . what she needs is a father . liam : you -- you got to let that be , dad . bill : liam . [ chuckles ] i 'm not trying to solve this for you . i mean , i ca n't even solve what happened between us . i can just tell you that i love you and ask you a question -- are you so sure that hope 's solution is n't the right one ? steffy : you may have the best of intentions , but you 're venturing into decisions that are n't really up to you . hope : that 's because you and liam are too worried and concerned about me to admit that this situation is wrong . steffy : you did n't marry liam for beth . you married him because you love him . let this tragedy bring you closer together . hope , he 's grieving , too . do n't desert him now . katie : hi . i 'm surprised to see you . bill : yeah , uh , well , you know me , i have a tendency to forget to call . katie : i do know that , um , but come on in . bill : thanks . i 'm unwelcome most places . not that i do n't know why . anyway , uh , i wanted to -- talk to you about my son . katie : uh , he 's outside . bill : oh , not -- not will . i 'm talking about one of my other sons . the one you and i had a little trouble with . katie : mm , yeah . i asked wyatt to come back to spencer . katie : wow , well , um ... i guess do n't be disappointed if he 's happy where he is at forrester . bill : oh , no , no , no . he 's accepted to come back . katie : has he told sally ? because i think they liked working under the same roof . bill : well , it looks like that 's going to continue . i agreed to underwrite a reboot of spectra fashions under the spencer umbrella . katie : bill ! bill : well , that was the right thing to do , was n't it ? katie : yes ! yes , it was . i ca n't believe you even have to ask that . bill : i don't . i just wanted to brag to somebody , and who else would care ? wyatt : all right . let 's have a list of your demands . sally : could we call it a proposal ? wyatt : good . whatever . hand me the document . wait , hold on . mm ! [ clears throat ] [ chuckles ] why do n't you , uh , pour us a drink , will you ? no ! what are you doing ? do n't do that ! do n't fall for that ! he could drink a fleet of sailors under the table , okay ? you do n't even know what you 're signing yet . sally : why do n't we celebrate after , bill ? wyatt : nice ! perfect . i love that , all right ? remember , his negotiation strategy is to make you feel unimportant , less than , so you lower your expectations . all right . [ clears throat ] what is this , a typo ? $ 20 million in seed money ? sally : i would never ask for that much money . really , he would laugh me out of the office . wyatt : sally ! do not let him get off easy . okay ? he -- he owes you . he knows he 's wrong . so ask him for anything you want . demand it . what ? sally : well , what i really want is to tell you how much you mean to me . and not just because you 're the son of a gazillionaire . wyatt : right . yeah . i mean , you know , you 've seen one , you 've seen 'em all . sally : and not because you 're sweet and kind and funny . wyatt : [ chuckles ] sally : but because you get me . in my life , that 's really rare because i know i 'm not easy . all i ever wanted was for spectra fashions to rise again . and now that you 're saying that you can do that for me , i ... realize when i was n't looking that something else took my very top priority . you . wyatt : mm . hope : why ca n't you see how important this is ? steffy : hope , you can redesign your life , not mine . hope : you said i 'd be deserting liam , but no ! i am trying to give him a way out of this cold , dark place that we 've been living in ever since beth died . i am trying to give him his daughter back , and i 'm trying to give phoebe a father , too ! steffy : my children are n't yours to give . hope : i 'm the only one being honest here . you planned a life with liam , so why should n't one of us have the family that we wanted ? i know you want him , steffy , and it 's okay , you can say it . it does n't hurt me anymore . [ knocks on door ] steffy : it 's open ! hope : i 'm sure you have a key , you should use it . this is your home . sally : i am not good at being in debt . wyatt : oh . sally : just goes to show you that practice does not make perfect . wyatt : who do you owe money to ? i 'm really good with bill collectors . sally : you . but i ca n't pay you back with dollars . wyatt : will you stop ? i -- you do n't have to pay me back for anything . sally : you just did something really heroic for me . it is my turn to make all of your dreams come true . wyatt : i -- i do n't really dream much . sally : it 's really unfortunate . wyatt : i mean , i can . i mean , i dream now . i mean , i dream things . i 'll dream whatever you want -- sally : shut up . wyatt : okay . mm - hmm . bill : she 's probably gon na want to call `` spectra , `` or something . katie : of course she is ! that 's the point . the spencers are n't the only ones that take pride in their family name . will : dad ! bill : hey , pal . will : i knew that was your car . bill : yeah , what 's up ? will : i 'm so glad you 're here . look at this . bill : what do you got ? will : $ 0.08 interest . some `` savings account . `` bill : oh , yeah , those hidden costs will kill you . but , you know what , listen , this is just kind of fun money for you . you do n't have to worry about it . you 're rich . will : how do you figure ? bill : uh , well , because what 's mine is yours , and i 'm as rich as it gets . katie : [ sighs ] will : should n't i have my own debit card ? bill : all right , slow your roll there , pal . all in good time , all in good time . katie : what is it ? will : you came to see mom ? bill : well , i came to see everyone who lives here . will : are you two friends again ? bill : what do you mean ? when were we not friends ? katie : well , you know , will , um , your father and i are both , um , passionate , vocal people , and we tend to speak our minds , and we sometimes do that loudly , but that 's ... that 's not a bad thing . bill : will , uh , your mom is my superhero . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : because she gave me you . and i will always be grateful to her for that . and , listen , uh , you know , both of us , we always want what 's best for you . will : you could just ask me . bill : oh ! all right , well , uh , i 'll bite . what do you think 's best for you ? will : this . liam : hope , we just talked about this . hope : but were you listening ? liam : yes ! and i get it . i know where you 're coming from , a place of strength and selflessness , but ... now is not the time for you to be making decisions about the rest of your life , let alone mine . hope : so when will it be , then ? when the girls are 5 , 10 ? when they 're already grown up without you ? steffy : you and both know kelly will never be without liam . hope : no , just once or twice week . liam : okay , okay . hope : no ! no ! listen ! listen to me ! i swear to you , i 'm thinking clearly , and , baby , i know that you lost a child , but i 'm trying to get you to see that there is a child in there right now who needs you . and i did n't have my father . that was an absence i carried with me my entire life , and please -- please do n't do that to phoebe . liam : i did n't even meet my dad until i was a grown man . but i promise you , those are not the cards phoebe was dealt . i will -- i will treat her like she 's my own . right now , though , you and i are more important . hope : i ca n't accept that . i 've already failed beth , i 'm not about to do that to kelly and phoebe . liam : what are you -- that -- that is just factually not true , hope ! dr. buckingham said so , dr . phillips said so ... hope : no , i know what i feel ! i know that if i had stayed awake for the birth of our daughter that she would be in there right now with kelly taking a nap ! but she 's not . that 's not what happened . so all of the love and caring and support and protection that i wanted to give to our beth , i do n't want it to go to waste . i want it to go to kelly and phoebe . and that means two parents raising them together . i mean , look ! look at how happy you two can be together . that does n't have to be a picture of the past , it can be a snapshot of the future that you two can share together . liam : no , no , no , no , no . no , we 're not going there today . no . no way . hope : no ! no ! i am not going to be responsible for keeping a family apart . remember the vows you made each other . make the life that you promised . | steffy tells hope that she did something drastic when she was in pain to stop it and she lost her marriage but that does n't have to happen to hope . she has the ring , she has the man but hope says all of that has changed . bill listens to liam and asks if that is what he wants . hope is saying he ought to be with steffy and the girls . he ca n't pretend to understand her but he knows she has loved him for years so has that changed ? and what if she could be right . wyatt tells sally that he will wait to tell steffy when it is a done deal , signed , sealed and delivered that he is leaving forrester and going to spencer . he tells her that cows have two stomachs and he has like two brains . one is this spectra situation and the other is for his brother . they both agree that liam may not be interested in a job or spectra again but he does want and need a father . katie tells donna that bill does not call ; he only barges in . so no she is not expecting a call from him . donna says no offense but she has been looking at real estate and maybe finding her own place . katie says she knows she can stay there as long as she wants unless she really wants more privacy . donna says it might be katie that needs that . it would be nice to have bill here with will every day . suddenly there is bill at the door . he says usually he is welcome at most places but .. he would like to talk to her about his son . she thinks he means will but he tells her about wyatt and spectra fashions . |
katie : sally has been diagnosed with a terminal illness . steffy : terminal ? katie : yeah , the tests came back , and they were conclusive . she 's dying , and i -- i feel terrible laying this on you like this , and in fact , i -- i should not be saying anything at all , but i can not -- i can not let you fire her , please . steffy : oh , my god . katie : i know you 're not trying to be cruel . you just did n't know what was going on . ridge : we knew something was going on ... there 's been a change in her work lately . katie : well , now you know why . her symptoms have been interfering with her work . ridge : but why -- why would n't she come to us , talk to us about it ? katie : oh , she 's been adamant from the beginning -- she does n't want anyone 's pity . she does n't want anyone to know . wyatt : it 's okay . all right ? it 's all gon na be okay . sally : no , wyatt , it 's not , okay ? you do n't -- you do n't understand . wyatt : okay , so then what is it ? tell me . sally : look , i love being in your arms . i do , but , i hate feeling needy . wyatt : trust me , no one is gon na mistake sally spectra as a damsel in distress , and i am no white knight , okay ? but i am here right now . like , i -- i know -- i know that you 've been going through a lot lately with -- with work , the showdown and pleasing steffy and ridge and competing with thomas and everything . sally : no , no , look , i could 've handled all of that and more if ... if ... wyatt : if ... sally : if i did n't feel so alone . wyatt : well , you 're not . if you decide to let me back in , then -- then you 'll never have to feel alone again . steffy : sally does n't want anyone to know how sick she is ? katie : no , and she 's not being realistic about this . i have been begging her to be honest , and get some help but she won't . steffy : what 's it doing to her ? katie : at first it was fatigue , trouble concentrating . now she 's got tremors in her hands and these -- these excruciating headaches . ridge : how -- how do you know all this ? katie : i was there when she was diagnosed . she wanted to find out all by herself , and i convinced her to let me go with her , and i 'm glad i did . because it 's devastating . and i ca n't imagine trying to face something like this all on your own . sally : i hate that i have to keep questioning this , but i have to ask again -- what about flo ? wyatt : i -- i told you . i made a mistake , and this is about you , sally . this is about you and everything that i would miss if you disappeared from my life . all right ? your incredible spirit , your sense of adventure , your humor , and everything . sally : i still love you , wyatt . wyatt : [ sighs ] sally : i never stopped . and look , what i said before when i called you by liam 's name wyatt : i -- i do n't want to get into that . sally : no , i hurt you , and i made you doubt my commitment . wyatt : no , no , no , listen . listen , all right ? i do n't care , all right ? regrets are for other people , not -- not for wild , crazy , thrill seekers like us . sally : that 's what we are . wyatt : used to be . you know ? and -- and i want you to feel that way again , like -- like you do n't have a care in the world . and i do n't know about you , but i do n't want to spend another minute thinking about bad things that we ca n't change . so let 's not . you do n't have to dwell on the past , and you do n't have to worry about the future , just -- just be here with me . [ soft kissing ] seresto , seresto , seresto . ridge : sally ca n't possibly want to go through this on her own . katie : thank you . she 's just hoping to stare it down , you know ? face it head on like any other challenge . she thinks of herself as this tough - as - nails , independent woman . steffy : yeah , so do i , but i -- i would n't pretend i was fine if i were dying . katie : that 's because you 're surrounded by people who love and support you . sally does n't want to burden her family with this . she feels like she 's alone , which is why i had to say something , because i know she 's not . ridge : that 's why you had to say something to wyatt ? katie : yes . he 's with her now , but it 's complicated . he ca n't let on that he knows she 's sick . steffy : she wo n't say anything . katie : right now she 's just trying to hold it together . i mean , working on your collection has been difficult but it 's given her something to focus on , something to fight for , which is why she can not lose this job . steffy : i feel terrible . i was pushing her so hard . katie : she would n't want you to stop . she knows what you expect from her . she 's determined to make this collection a success . steffy : her initial designs were incredible and then ... and then she started to struggle . ridge : okay . her illness is obviously affecting her ability . she still has ideas , but she just does n't know how to put them on paper anymore . steffy : well , we have to do something . i do n't want her to think that she 's letting us down when she 's giving us everything she 's got . wyatt : look , i -- i know -- i know i should 've told you all of this a lot sooner and -- and maybe it 's not enough , but i just -- i mean , i -- i would hate myself if i did n't even try . sally : we did try , wyatt . more than once and something always messed it up . wyatt : yeah , me . i did . i was just , you know , i was always trying to make things perfect , you know , the people in my life , in my relationships -- [ incoming text chime ] your ... phone ... sally : [ sighs ] wyatt : what ? bad news ? sally : steffy just wants to see me back the office . she probably has a complaint about something . wyatt : well , that does n't sound good . sally : i have n't been on my game lately . steffy 's been really patient , but , you know , she 's running a business , so ... i do n't know , i think today might be the day i get fired . wyatt : what ? no . no , no , no , no . if -- if you 're going through a rough patch , then -- then steffy has to understand that , all right ? sally : hey , do n't worry , i wo n't end up on your couch again . wyatt : if that 's what you need , you can . it 's there . free , nobody 's in it . wyatt : thank you , but knowing you care is enough . wyatt : okay . sally : i have n't felt this good in a while . wyatt : well , good . because i meant what i said . all right ? i ... i want to see you and i want to spend as much time with you as i can . sally : time is n't really on my side . wyatt : i mean , i 'll take -- i 'll take whatever i can get , then , whatever you can spare . i 'm not gon na abandon you , sally . no matter what happens , i -- i 'm not gon na bail on you . remember when you told me that there 's no such thing as -- as a perfect woman ? well , you 're right , you know ? i 'm -- i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na -- i do n't expect that from you . i -- i -- sally : gee , wow , you really know how to make a girl feel special . wyatt : no , no -- i 'm -- i did n't -- that -- okay . perfection is a fantasy , right ? like , what we have ... like , what i feel when i see that beautiful smile on your face ... sally : [ sighs quietly ] wyatt : that is what 's real . all right ? and i just -- i really want it to last . as a caricature artist , flo : i really thought sally was gon na open up to you . wyatt : yeah , i really thought so , too , and then i remembered how stubborn she could be . flo : i think she 's being brave . wyatt : yeah , i mean , i think she 's trying to be . and she 's , uh , she 's really sick , you know , and i did n't -- i did n't really see it before . flo : well , she clearly does n't want you to see it . wyatt : i know , but ... flo : wyatt , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i know that this is really hard on you , seeing somebody that you care about like that and knowing that you might lose them . wyatt : no , look , i 'm -- i 'm the one who 's sorry here , okay ? i mean , just putting you in this position ? like , it had to have been hard to hear some of those things i said . flo : sally needed to hear them . and you meant them . wyatt : yeah , i -- i did , yeah . flo : which is what made it so moving , actually . you were n't just telling her what she wanted to hear , you were speaking from your heart . wyatt : it 's just , i 've let her down so many times , you know ? i have -- i have to step up for her , for this whole situation . flo : so , um ... do you think that there 's any way you can maybe talk to steffy and ... see what you can do about her work situation ? wyatt : uh , without telling her what i know ? uh ... flo : i mean , working at forrester means a lot to her , right ? wyatt : yeah , that 's the ultimate validation . all her life , she just -- she wanted to be a world - class designer and i was the one who originally asked eric to take sally on . and then she just won 'em all over , took it from there . flo : and ridge and steffy , they like her ? wyatt : yeah , they -- they do . i think so . i just hope they understand that she 's going through something right now , and just take it easy on her . ridge : katie , thank you for telling us what 's going on with her . katie : she 's trying to be strong , she 's putting on a tough act , but i can tell that she 's -- she 's terrified . steffy : she should n't be getting bad news from us . katie : i 'm gon na go before she gets here . please , you can not let her know that i told you . steffy : i do n't think i 'm ready . ridge : i 'm sure you know what to say . steffy : but inside , i know what she 's facing . she 's looked tired . i thought it was because of stress . did i even ask if she was okay ? ridge : i 'm sure you asked her , and i 'm sure she said she was fine . steffy : but she 's not , dad . and i do n't think i can pretend that she is . [ knocks on door ] ridge : yeah . [ door opens ] sally : you wanted to see me ? steffy : sally . come in . sally : you 're both here . going over my designs . steffy : we wanted to talk to you about them . sally : wow , okay , um ... look , i think i know what you 're gon na say . i -- i realize that my designs have n't been up to your standards lately , and we are under a lot of pressure to win this showdown , and you need a designer that can deliver , and ... if i ca n't do that , you have to find someone who can . so that 's why i 'm here . you have no choice . you have to let me go . - hiyee ! - hiyee ! wyatt : god , i just ... i wish that sally would be open with me , you know ? it would make all of this a whole lot easier . flo : well , stay close to her and -- and she might . wyatt : but i -- i do n't want to make her feel like i 'm tricking her . flo : you 're not . wyatt : i basically got her to believe that you and i are n't together anymore . flo : well , we wo n't be . wyatt : what ? flo : you will be with sally for ... as long as you can be . wyatt : [ scoffs ] how long is that ? we do n't even know how much time she has left . flo : i know . we do n't know . but you need to be there for her , wyatt . you said it yourself . y - y - you would never forgive- yourself if -- if you were n't there for her . wyatt : but you saw how it 's gon na be . like that was n't hard for you , seeing sally in my arms again ? i mean , come on . flo : she needs you . wyatt : you do n't have to prove to me what a good person you are , okay ? i know that . and i -- i judged you for it before , and i said some things -- flo : this is not about me . this is about sally . we both know that . wyatt : but this is going to affect us . do n't you understand ? like -- like , in ways that we ca n't even imagine , okay ? flo : what -- what kind of future could we possible have if i stood in your way with this ? if i told you just to let her die , just to let sally go ? wyatt : you -- you would n't do that . flo : you 're right , i wouldn't . when she walked in here , she was broken . she was trying to hide it , but it was so clear that she 's in a lot of pain . and you , you -- you made her eyes light up . we ca n't make her well , but you can make her happy . it 's really clear that she is still very in love with you . so i do n't -- i do n't want you to hold back because of me . wyatt : you know , you -- you do n't always have to be the one to make a big sacrifice . flo : i 'm not . you know i want to spend the rest of my life with you and that 's not changing . but first you need to spend the rest of sally 's with her . sally : you guys have been so good to me , and i 'm really grateful for your support and guidance , but ... nothing lasts forever , so ... ridge : you have made some great contributions to this company . sally : it was a dream come true , something i never expected . but i had a good run . i made some really great memories and some good friends . now i have to face reality . steffy : sally , i would n't have asked you to design for my collection if i did n't think you were good at it . ridge : you 're a very talented designer , do n't forget that . sally : steffy 's not happy with my designs , so , you know . it 's a problem . steffy : you 've just seemed frustrated . sally : i 'm sorry i let you down . steffy : no , you didn't . sally : well , i guess i 'm just not good at collaborating . ridge : well ... we 're gon na find out . sally : what is that ? ridge : that 's your design . sally : but it 's different . ridge : well ... i hope you do n't mind . i saw it , i was inspired by it . i kind of added a few of my own touches , not too much . sally : yeah , ridge , it 's -- it 's amazing . that 's exactly what i -- what i had in mind , but it 's more refined . it 's beautiful . ridge : hey . i saw where you were going , and between us , i do n't have what you have . i do n't have this wild abandon . so i -- i could never . this is -- this is gon na turn couture upside down . sally : couture ? ridge : yeah . sally : i -- i -- i do n't understand . steffy : you 're not fired , sally . but your designs wo n't be in my new collection . ridge : no . they 'll be in mine . sally : the couture collection ? ridge : yeah , i mean , that 's -- that 's -- i 'm asking you if that 's all right with you . sally : what , you 're serious . ridge : well , i am , yeah . that 's what steffy and i have been talking about . why do you think we called you here ? sally : my designs in a couture collection ? wow , i never thought i would live to see the day . ridge : well , you will . and this is gon na be great for forrester and i think it 's gon na be pretty good for you , too . sally : i really do n't believe it . i do n't know what to say . pi -- i could 've sworn when i got that phone call that i was getting fired , that all of my work was for nothing , and my career was dead , and now i -- i have never felt more alive as a designer and an artist , so ... thank you . thank you so much . ridge : come here . | wyatt continues to tell sally that he 's there for her , and she 's not alone . she 's overwhelmed by his pleas to get back with her . she tries to apologize for calling him by liam 's name , but he tells her that does n't matter any more . he tells her that they need to live in the moment and stop worrying about the past or future . wyatt kisses her hand . he tells her that he messed up with her . sally gets a text from steffy , so she has to leave . sally 's worried that she 'll be fired , but after wyatt tells her that she 's always welcome at his place , she tells him that she has n't felt this good in a while . he says that his mistake was looking for the `` perfect woman , `` but there 's no such thing . after sally leaves , flo returns . she thought sally was going to open up to wyatt about being sick . he agrees but forgot how stubborn sally can be . flo feels sympathy toward him , knowing what sally is going through . he feels bad for putting flo in this position . she knows that he was speaking from his heart to sally . they worry about whether steffy will be firing sally . flo makes it clear to wyatt that he has to be with sally for however long she has left . he praises flo for being so selfless . |
bridget : there 's nowhere to go from here . nick : there is , we 'll move forward together . bridget : oh nick , we 've already tried that . we keep putting these phantoms in front of us -- a child that could n't be born -- a child that we could n't have -- we keep reaching for them , when we 're really reaching for a life with each other -- nick : we can have children of our own . bridget : marriage is supposed to make us a family . nick : and it has -- it will . bridget : no , nick . we keep wanting a family to make us a marriage . when we both know the truth is , we have never had the right marriage to make us a family .

[ scene_break ] nick : let 's -- let 's step back here . because we 're disagreeing about a very specific question . let 's not make this about what we are to each other . bridget : but it is . nick : bridget , i can not raise a child that is going to be taken from me . and you know that that is inevitable . bridget : we made a promise . nick : but we did n't promise this . bridget : i knew what i was promising . i never thought that dominick was mine . but for you , i can see obviously that does n't really matter . i know that you love me . but i also know it 's not the real reason you married me or the reason you came back . nick : are you unhappy ? do i make you unhappy ? bridget : no . like you said , it 's just reality . nick : which part ? bridget : this whole not looking at what 's right in front of us . we keep our eyes on the future and it 's a future we 're never getting closer to . other people see it , nick . dante told me the real reason that i came over tonight was not to discuss dominick but to -- nick : what ? to try to save my marriage . he was right . i do n't think i can . nick : so what is this been about for the last six months ? all the talking and listening and the apologies and the promises . bridget : this is different nick . this is n't about you being in love with my mother . there it is . that 's what this really does come down to , does n't it ? look at me now -- i 'm not losing control -- i think i 'm actually taking it back . nick : you have taken it back -- you 've done this . and we have a good marriage , bridget . and you certainly ca n't say that for anyone else in your family . bridget : well i think it 's a little easier for us . nick : how is it easier ? bridget : because i think we 're both professionals at having our heart broken . and from one professional to another , nick -- your heart is n't in this . nick : how can you say that ? bridget : because your heart is somewhere else . [ scene_break ] brooke : number one , i am not leaving this house . ridge : okay . number two ? brooke : number two , i want the extended family to feel comfortable here . and welcome at all times ridge : present company excluded ? brooke : i 'm getting to that . brothers , sisters , parents , ex - spouses and their children , my children -- ridge : check . brooke : and their spouses . and that includes nick . ridge : with you married to me , i have no issue with nick . brooke : that is not true . you two never got along . ridge : okay -- i think he 'd be more comfortable if we kept it that way . brooke : no , ridge . nick is your brother . you treat him like one . ridge : okay . what else -- brooke : number three . stephanie is your mother . so you 'll have to give her all the love and the attention and the respect that she is due . which will really be very little , because you have to give me all the love and the respect and attention that you owe me first . and if she disagrees with me , you stand by my side . and she has no say so in our marriage , in how we raise our children , and no influence over you what so ever . ridge : how am i doing so far today ? brooke : really good otherwise we would n't have gotten this far . ridge : all conditions accepted . brooke : okay . well then , i am proud to be mrs. ridge forrester . that is so beautiful . that is so beautiful . ridge : just like you my dear . just like you . ridge : let 's set a date . how about the day after today ? brooke : what -- you ca n't be serious ? ridge : i 'm very serious . we 've done the big grandiose horses - and - acrobats wedding , and we should never left that be undone . logan , i want to correct that mistake and i want to be married to you , and i want to do it before we have a chance for anything to go wrong . brooke : okay , well then yes -- tomorrow , the day after today . ridge : well i suppose congratulations is too much to expect , huh ? stephanie : oh , am i permitted to speak ? you 're a bigger idiot than eric was . at least he never expected a happily - ever - after . he was going to be happy and satisfied with just a few quickies -- ridge : all right -- that 's it . you 're out of here ! stephanie : you bet i am ! this is me leaving the asylum because there 's nothing here but insane people . ridge : out ! brooke : she 's going to cause trouble . ridge : you think between today and tomorrow she is ? brooke : she 's going straight to nick and bridget . ridge : are they going to be happy for us ? brooke : bridget will . ridge : and nick ? brooke : nick -- nick ? no , i 'm going to have to have the same talk with him that i had with you . there 's no reason for you two to be antagonistic to each other . ridge : well , maybe one ? logan , the site on that woman 's face when she realized her worst nightmare -- she got everything she deserved . but if there 's anything that you just said , that you want to take back , tell me now . you and i have always avoided a lot of questions by just jumping into bed with each other . not that i 'm complaining -- i just want to know . brooke : just let me show you .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : you are in no position to judge me as a wife or a mother . ann : oh , well , then just what do you do ? all i ever see is you running off , interfering in eric 's business . stephanie : eric 's business ? i am just as much responsible for the success of forrester creations as he was . ann : oh , i suppose women all over the world are strutting around in dresses you designed ? the startup money your father gave eric , that was your contribution . he does n't need you to be poking into everything he does . stephanie : my husband relies on me . ann : oh , for a comfortable place to come home to . a warm meal , a warm bed . does he even get that ? problems in a marriage often begin in the bedroom . stephanie : you do n't know anything about my marriage any more than you really know anything about me , mother . you 've overstayed your welcome in my home . if you do n't find a place of your own in this town soon , i 'll send you packing back to chicago . ann : eric wo n't let you . stephanie : my husband does n't tell me what to do . ann : then that 's his only fault that i can see . if he 'd take a firmer hand with you -- if he were more like your father -- stephanie : i think you 'd better pack . felicia : i love it . no , i think this is all great , and i love this wall here .

[ scene_break ] eric : where 's ann ? stephanie : eric , i hope you have not been complaining about me to my mother . eric : what ? stephanie : well , she seems to think that she knows everything that 's going on between us . eric : what are you talking about ? stephanie : our marriage ! look , i 'm not happy about this . i really -- i really want my mother to go back to chicago , and if pam were to decide to go back with her or stay here , that would be up to her . eric : that 's not going to happen . stephanie : ann is taking advantage of you . you know , santa monica 's too windy , hancock park is too dark at night . nothing is ever going to satisfy my mother . eric : then maybe she should stay on in the guest house . stephanie : whoa , wait a minute . i thought the whole idea was that pam would n't have to take care of her ? eric : look , pamela is happy . she can come and go as she pleases . and i think it would be bad for her if she could n't stay in contact with your mother a little bit day after day . now look , i know ann likes to play the dowager empress , but the fact is , she 's very , very dependent . maybe this is the best arrangement , right here . stephanie : i do not want my mother here ! eric : nobody 's making you completely responsible for your mother . you can keep ignoring her 23 1/2 hours a day , if you like . stephanie : she has a contentious personality , eric . she 's controlling , she lies , she disagrees with you just for the sake of disagreeing . eric : well -- stephanie : oh , i see , that 's what you think about me . eric : look , this is a very difficult time . and for you to oppose me every step of the way is not helpful . stephanie : oppose you ? what are you talking about ? you asked for my support on this retail venture of yours , and i have given it to you . eric : is this what support means to you ? or is it just another excuse for controlling everything ? stephanie : what am i in control of ? eric : no , you know , you want to control this whole thing , and it 's not support . it 's like what you did last night in bed . stephanie : are you that shallow ? eric : what 's shallow about that ? what 's shallow about sex or love ? why did we even employ a minister if you and i are just going to be business partners ? stephanie : was i the only person at big bear ? i thought we had a wonderful time . eric : it was like a long , cool shower after a long , long drought . stephanie : maybe you should look to yourself for the reason . eric : am i not attractive to you anymore ? stephanie : this is so typical of you . just so typical of you . you found the perfect retail place for your store , did n't you ? and then , what did you do ? what you always do . you waffled . eric : i had the jitters , it 's perfectly natural . and what do i get from you ? reassurance ? no . i get a harangue and a cold shoulder in bed . well , it 's going to be the same tonight , too . i 'm not waffling about ann ! i can never win with you . you know ? i never will . and i 'll tell you something , pam and ann are staying here . and if that means i have to sleep next to a block of ice for the rest of my life , that 's the way it is !

[ scene_break ] bill : they say a baby changes everything . brooke : but not how liam feels about my daughter . otherwise , he would n't have stood there in front of father fontana and -- bill : and what , brooke ? committed to hope the way you need to believe he would have ? you sprang this whole elopement thing on liam and you daughter , from what i understand . now ... i know your intentions were good . but what if steffy did n't show up ? you really believe that liam would have gone through with it ? yes , he loves hope . but he also loves steffy . and now there 's a baby . so everything that 's gone on with liam , steffy , hope ... all the things i did that i 'm not proud of -- every bit of it , all of it is trumped by the baby . brooke : a few more minutes , and hope and liam would have been married . i know he wo n't admit that now , but -- but if you ask him -- bill : brooke . brooke : yes . please ask him if he was going to slip that ring on my daughter 's finger and commit to her for the rest of his life . i mean , you may not need to know , but i certainly do . bill : brooke ... i would do anything for you . but now there 's a family and a baby . liam has made his decision . and it 's not gon na serve anyone to open that up . including you . especially you . [ scene_break ] liam : you know , we 've got a few months before we have to choose a name . steffy : your dad will probably push something macho , like ... rambo spencer . liam : [ chuckles ] rambo . what if it 's a girl ? steffy : well , i can think of one name that i would n't want . look , i know you 're thinking about her right now . and wondering how she 's feeling . we 've all been through a lot . and maybe one day we will all be able to get along . but it 's been the three of us for so long . and now it 's the three of us -- you , me , little rambo or ... little isis . liam : isis ? steffy : yeah . nobody 's gon na mess with a girl named `` isis . `` she 'll be fearless and a total original . liam : just like her mom . [ scene_break ] bill : listen to me . i know you do n't see it this way , but what 's happened with this baby -- it 's not just a new beginning for liam and for steffy . it 's a new beginning for hope as well . brooke : unfortunately , that new beginning is not at all what my daughter thought her life would turn out to be . bill : i know . well , she is strong and resilient , and she will bounce back . and as for my new grandbaby ... this could make me the youngest grandpa on record . brooke : [ laughs ] the youngest grandpa who 's still a stallion , anyway . bill : [ chuckles ] you have to find fulfillment again , brooke , at what you do best . forrester creations . as a minority owner , i am telling you to go to eric and talk to him about running that company together ... as co - c.e.o.s [ scene_break ] eric : well , it looks absolutely beautiful . i appreciate you doing this on such short notice . thank you both very much . and thank ernesto for me , will you ? thanks . good night .

[ scene_break ] brooke : i think you 're forgetting eric chose rick to run the company with him . bill : you would n't be pushing rick aside . he 'll remain president . but instead of eric being sole c.e.o . -- brooke : a position rick hopes to assume one day . bill : his time will come . right now , you need this more . brooke : because i have nothing else going in my life . bill : because you 've always found fulfillment in your work , and this time wo n't be any different . brooke : i 'm different . bill : no , you 're not . you are the same smart , sexy bombshell who created belief and brooke 's bedroom . you brought forrester creations national and international notoriety , not to mention soaring profits . that company was never stronger than when you were front and center . brooke : i 'm flattered . bill : it 's got nothing to do with flattery . i tell it like it is , and you know that . you go to eric tonight . he 's sitting alone in that big house . you go see him . you tell him you want back in the game as co - c.e.o . he 's always been loyal to you , brooke . there 's nothing that he would want more than to have you by his side . i 'm sure of it . [ scene_break ] taylor : i 'm so happy you called . eric : i 'm happy you came . well , i 'm so glad everything worked out for steffy . taylor : oh , she 's so excited . we both are . eric : i want to hear all about it . but first ... this dress . taylor : do you recognize it ? it 's a thomas forrester original . he insisted i wear it . eric : you told him . taylor : about us ? yes . eric : it 's my guess that he did n't see this coming . taylor : you and i did n't see this coming .

brooke : i already told you . ridge and i are getting another chance to build a life together . and before you go calling me selfish , this is for you , too . our life , our family , our business . everything is riding on this wedding . and if ridge finds out that you two have been sneaking around behind his back and that i knew about , it 's going to be a complete nightmare ! phoebe : look , i 'll try to talk to him again . brooke : no , phoebe , it 's not going to help . it 's going to completely be a waste of time . ridge is never going to accept this relationship . not ever . nick : copy that , harbormaster . shady marlin leaving the marina , switching to channel 72 , over . taylor : you look pretty good behind that wheel . nick : i have n't tried to get out of this harbor for a while . the tide can be a little tricky at night . taylor : oh , i 'm not worried . i 'm with the best sailor in the seven seas . and the best - looking , too . nick : oh , how many sailors do you know ? taylor : i know you . and , well , there 's -- you . nick : uh - huh . just as i suspected . what are you doing ? taylor : i 'm just watching you . i 'm watching you . you make steering the ship look really easy . nick : it 's not like it 's that tough . taylor : oh , stop . you 're being modest . nick : you just got to get out in the water . get a little experience . and nothing to it . i could teach you sometime , if you 'd like . taylor : i 'd like that . right now , i just like watching you do your thing . nick : oh , you just watch me do my thing . taylor : nick , what happened ? nick : i think you made the boat short circuit . stephanie : all i 'm saying is , with everything that the two of you have been through , is this what you really want ? you know , i mean , or are you just getting married all over again because it 's a habit ? you 're not going to be able to go back to the sort of life that you had . that 's over with . i mean , those days are long gone . ridge : mother , i know things are going to be different , all right ? and i do n't care . brooke is the woman that i love , and it really annoys me that you 're trying to meddle in all this again . stephanie : i 'm not . that 's not what i 'm doing . it 's just -- look , the two of you have had your ups and downs , okay ? and i 'm just asking you , are you 100 % certain that this is what you want ? ridge : yes , i 'm 150 % certain . stephanie : is this what she wants ? ridge : she 's marrying me , is n't she ? stephanie : marriage does not erase feelings that one might have for a third party . ridge : mother , she has no more feelings for marone , okay ? that 's over and done with . and as far as brooke and i are concerned , things could n't be better . except for one thing . stephanie : what 's that ? ridge : rick and phoebe . stephanie : rick and phoebe ? they have n't gone too far , have they ? ridge : no , thank god . but they have kind of kissed each other , and as soon as i found out what was going on , i kicked rick out of the house . stephanie : oh -- well , what else could you do ? ridge : well , hallelujah , somebody 's on my side . stephanie : brooke does n't agree with you ? ridge : she did n't to begin with , but she does now . initially , she thought i was out of line . phoebe : you 're making this sound so simple . i mean , it 's not like we can just shut off what we 're feeling . brooke : have you even tried ? phoebe : look , please do n't be angry with him . he told me we had to stop seeing each other . but i think what we 're both realizing is that , even if we really wanted to , we ca n't be apart . rick : mom , mom , we do n't like sneaking around like this , but you know what ? it 's ridge 's fault . he put us in this position . brooke : how long were you planning on keeping this a secret ? rick : just until after you two were married . phoebe : and the new stores were launched . rick : we hoped , eventually , ridge would come around . brooke : and you really thought that would work ? even knowing how wrong he feels a relationship is between the two of you ? phoebe : look , i just have trouble believing that something feels like this is so wrong . i mean , i know my dad thinks that i 'm too young to know what love is . and that i have n't made a lot of great decisions recently . but you know your son , he 's not trying to take advantage of me . he 's kind and sweet . and i have absolutely no idea where any of this is going , but i do know that i am safe with him . rick : phoebe 's right . mom , i would never hurt her . and the last thing in the world i expected was to feel this way , but -- here we are . i would think that you , out of all people , would understand what this is like for us . brooke : i do n't know what to say . phoebe : say you 'll talk to my father . brooke : phoebe , i tried . he did n't listen to a word that i said . rick : well , maybe that should tell you something . brooke : please , let 's not start that again . rick : okay , okay , fine , i wo n't . but mom , you and ridge are entitled to live your lives the way you choose . i realize that now . but that being said , do n't you think that phoebe and i should be allowed that same right ? [ nick groaning ] nick : unbelievable ! taylor : what 's the problem ? nick : well , the engine 's fine . we 're fueled . i do n't know . taylor : has this ever happened before ? nick : well , not three miles out in the middle of the night . i 'm going to call in for a tow . taylor : nick , wait -- do you really have to do that ? ca n't we just stay out here for a little while ? i really kind of like it out here , alone out here in the middle of the ocean , just the two of us . i like it . we have some stars out , and we can hear the waves lapping against the boat . nick : well , when you put it that way -- i wish this boat would 've broken down more often . stephanie : you know , i had this conversation with brooke . i told her , `` you 've got to keep an eye on rick and phoebe . `` ridge : i practically had to twist her arm to get her to see how inappropriate it was that rick was with my daughter . stephanie : i agree with you . it is inappropriate . i mean , he 's older than she is . he 's already sexually experienced . i just -- i think it 's wrong for both of them . ridge : brooke sees that now . stephanie : but she should have seen that from the beginning , honey . that 's always been the difference between the two of you . you see things as they are , and brooke , she always just wants to see things the way she wants to see them . ridge : mother -- stephanie : i did n't say she could n't change . ridge : i really appreciate that you 're accepting her now . but do n't start backsliding here , or we 're going to have some problems . brooke : we 're not talking about ridge and me here . we 're talking about you and phoebe . so let 's just say , for the sake of argument , that you two do stay together . how would all this work out ? rick : we 'd figure it out . brooke : rick -- rick : mom , we are not living in a dream fantasy world here , okay ? i realize that this situation is very complicated , that there are concerns . you know , phoebe 's only 18 , she 's got her whole life ahead of her . and i do n't want to take that away from her . but mom , i deeply care about her . i 've tried to shut those feelings out . i ca n't . i ca n't do it . and if i felt that this was wrong , i would end it immediately . but the fact of the matter is , i really feel that this is something worth fighting for . brooke : well , you would n't be the first young couple to raise a few eyebrows . and it probably would n't last anyway . rick : gee , thank you . brooke : no , i 'm just saying , when you first start a relationship , everything is so magical . and it always seems like it 's going to stay that way . and then sooner or later , reality sets in . and maybe one of you would annoy the other , or maybe one of you would see somebody else . and as quickly as the relationship started , it would end . rick : okay , i 'm a little confused . phoebe : yeah , what ? rick : what are you saying ? brooke : i think what i 'm saying is , i do n't really see the harm in you two exploring a relationship . rick : thank you . phoebe : thank you . brooke : but -- there is one thing . ridge needs to know . phoebe : we ca n't tell my father . rick : you saw how he reacted before . brooke : he needs to know . rick : mom , what about everything you said ? not wanting to jeopardize your wedding or the opening of the new stores ? brooke : i realize he might not take it well -- rick : might not ? brooke : but lying to him is going to be worse down the road . believe me . how about if i talk to him ? rick : and say what ? brooke : say that you tried to break it off , but you could n't . rick : he 's not going to accept that . brooke : maybe not , but i have to try . and you 're right , ridge is not going to be happy about this , but eventually -- he may come around . taylor : it 's so quiet . nick : that 's what i love about being out on the water . it 's just like nothing else exists . taylor : i wish it could be like this all the time . nick : are you okay ? taylor : it just was n't that long ago that i felt like my life was so empty . i felt so alone . it just feels like a whole new start for me . nick : you know , it 's a whole new start for both of us . taylor : nick . nick : yeah . taylor : make love to me . stephanie : honey , calm down . ridge : you have made a career out of interfering with my relationships . just stop it . brooke and i are getting married , as planned . and if you cause any trouble , brooke 's not going to be the one i get out of my life . it will be you . stephanie : i consider myself warned . ridge : i mean it , mother . no more . i drew the line , just like i did with rick and phoebe . it 's one that they better not cross . hey , logan . brooke : i did n't mean to interrupt . ridge : i was just talking about the wedding with mother . brooke : anything going on i should know ? ridge : jarrett 's coming over . we 're giving him an exclusive . brooke : he 'll love that . ridge : everything okay ? brooke : yeah , i just need to talk to you . alone . stephanie : is that my cue to leave ? ridge : that would be your cue , yes . stephanie : you 're getting married soon . all is well with the world . what could possibly be upsetting you ? ridge : do n't worry . i warned mother . just like i warned rick and phoebe . it 's hard to believe . we 're about to be mr. and mrs. forrester again . oh , jarrett 's probably going to want to a cover story on the wedding . so , if we can plan a little private time for the photo shoot , that would be great . if that 's okay with you . brooke : yeah . sure . ridge : oh , you are going to look so beautiful on our perfect wedding day . and then afterwards , we start our life together . and this time , logan , nothing is going to come between us . hey , what 's going on ? brooke : i really need to tell you something . you know how much i love you , and we 're usually in sync about certain things . love , family . but this time we 're not . and we really need to be before we continue on . it 's rick and phoebe . and you 're not going to like it . | brooke needs no explanation , she sees what is going on between phoebe and her son . rick offers that what they are doing is not wrong ; it 's ridge keeping them apart that is wrong . she claims everything in their life is riding on this wedding and ridge will never accept this relationship despite what they say . loaded down with a picnic basket , taylor leads a closed eyed nick onto his boat and promises him the ride of his life . she admires his prowess at the wheel even when she makes the boat short circuit and blows the electricity . what a kiss ! what follows ? ridge gives jarrett an exclusive and wants a mock up of the invitation ready for him . stephanie thinks that might be too much with opening new boutiques and juggling the wedding of the year too . she wants to know if he is 100 % certain about this ? he 's not happy with her meddling again , things could n't be better . he tells her about phoebe and rick and that he kicked rick out of the house . brooke is now on his side as well . |
nick : storm to act as my attorney . brooke : oh , good . nick : we 've got ta be careful how we handle taylor . she wants to be alone with her son , but i can not allow her to be with him if there 's any threat of her drinking again . brooke : why did n't you tell me she was drinking again ? nick : because i wanted to protect her . brooke : protect her ? well , thank god nothing happened to jack . nick : i was with him the whole time . i was n't gon na let anything happen . brooke : yeah , well , now she 's alone with him . god knows what 's gon na happen now that you 're not there to monitor her drinking . nick , it scares the hell out of me to think that jack could be in danger . nick : it scares the hell out of me , too . [ scene_break ] taylor : well , he seemed a little confused about his new crib and the bedroom , but you know , i sang him a couple of songs , and , uh , he went back to sleep . rick : well , that 's normal , yeah . taylor : yeah . he 's always been a really good sleeper , but , uh , i think it 'll just take a little time for him to get used to the room . are you still concerned ? rick : yeah , i am , a little bit . taylor : you know what ? i find this so ironic that you of all people would be supporting me against brooke . ( laughs ) rick : i do n't necessarily see it that way . i - i look at myself as someone who is just concerned about you and wants what 's best for you and -- and your son . taylor : well , what 's best for jack and me is for us to be together . rick : and you 're sure about that ? taylor : well , do you doubt me ? rick : let me ask you something . you -- you said before that when you look at jack , you see mother , and it fills you with -- with rage . taylor : it was n't that . what -- what i felt was rage , but it was not directed at the baby . it was n't about that . rick : okay . well , i am also brooke 's son . do you feel rage when you -- when you see me ? taylor : you know what ? when i see you , i see a wonderful man , a man who 's kind and sensitive and -- and very sweet . i do n't know how i would have gotten through any of this without you . rick : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] phoebe : it 's so weird the way mom and nick split up . ridge : some things were n't meant to be . phoebe : well , yeah , but it seemed like things were working out . and then out of the blue , it 's over ? i do n't get it . ridge : there are things going on , kiddo . phoebe : well , what about jack ? i mean , is mom gon na raise him all alone ? ridge : that 's up to nick and taylor -- joint custody , probably . phoebe : you know , mom did n't seem like herself after jack was born . i mean , you must have noticed it , too . she was kind of nervous all the time , like something was n't right . ridge : she 's going through a lot . phoebe : like depression ? being a new mom again , or something ? ridge : look , sweetie , that 's all behind her now . she seemed much better when i saw her earlier , and i think she 'll be back to her old self . phoebe : yeah , i hope so . ridge : and the last thing she needs is for you to be worrying about her . she did tell me that . phoebe : mm . ridge : so if you want to help your mom ... phoebe : quit worrying . ridge : just give her some space , and she 'll let you know if she needs you , okay ? phoebe : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] nick : thanks a lot for coming over . come in . come in . storm : well , you 're welcome . i 'm , uh -- i 'm just sorry to hear about you and taylor . nick : thank you . uh , i 'm worried about taylor . like i told you on the phone , she has n't been herself lately . storm : yeah , well , she 's had a tough time of it the last two years . you know , the drunk - driving accident that killed darla , having to spend time jail . i 'm surprised , though . i , uh -- i thought she 'd gotten herself straightened out . brooke : she had , but then she started drinking again . storm : is that true ? nick : unfortunately , it is . she 's not drinking right now , but for her to fall off the wagon like that and then want to be alone with jack , she 's unstable . she 's been that way for months . what i need to know is how do we protect ourselves as well as my son ? storm : well , i got ta tell you , nick , it does n't make much sense . i mean , the picture you 're painting does n't sound like the kind of woman that taylor is at all . why do n't we just , um , back up a little bit ? and you can tell me a little bit how she came to this change in behavior . brooke : ( sighs ) storm : brooke ? you did n't have anything to do with this , did you ? brooke : ( sighs ) yes , i did . but , um , it 's -- it 's not the way that you 're thinking . ( sighs ) i 'm jack 's biological mother . storm : ( laughs ) ( clears throat ) so of all the eggs to be accidentally mixed up , what a shocker . brooke : yep . we were all shocked when we found out what happened , but taylor 's the one that 's had the most difficult time with it . storm : well , understandably so . now i can see why she 's become so unglued . brooke : she 's emotionally unstable . she 's a woman with an alcoholic past that 's admitted to drinking again . storm : ( sighs ) all right , so what do you want to do about this , nick ? nick : i do n't want to take away her parental rights completely , but i do want to be in control of my son and the situation , at least until taylor has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that she 's pulled herself back together . storm : oh . well , it is true that being in taylor 's care does put your child in a potentially risky situation . nick : the safety and well - being of my son is all that matters here . that 's why i want to ask for an emergency custody hearing first thing tomorrow morning . storm : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : and i am really going to be needing your support more than ever . rick : that 's what i 'm here for . taylor : i just -- i can not believe that nick was so upset that i want to be there for my child . i just ca n't . i -- and that he 's so concerned . that -- it 's just completely unnecessary . rick : well , do you honestly think you 're ready to care for this child on your own ? taylor : yes , or i would n't have brought him here . i love that baby . i want to be with him . he 's everything to me . rick : no , i realize that , but i do n't think nick is so confident . taylor : well , then i 'll just have to prove myself . rick : good . good for you . taylor : oh , listen , i , um -- i wanted to ask you if you could help me with something . rick : yeah ? taylor : could you just go all through the house everywhere out on the property and -- and just make sure there 's no alcohol anywhere ? i just -- i want every bottle out of here ... rick : yeah . yeah , ab -- taylor : because i do n't want anybody coming up with an idea that i might be drinking . rick : no , that 's fine . i think it 's a great idea . um , i 'll start at the bar . i - i 'll , um , go to the wine cellar , the pool house , anywhere that there might be alcohol . i 'll just -- i 'll get rid of it . taylor : thank you for everything . what ? what ? you keep doing that ! rick : noth -- nothing . now look , i just -- i 'm looking at you , and i 'm seeing an unbelievably beautiful woman , yet so fragile at the same time . taylor , i do n't -- i do n't think that anybody really knows what you 've been through . i mean , years of being pitted against my mother and -- and losing battle after battle ... taylor : well , today is a new day . i am not going to be losing this battle . rick : now you do realize what you 're getting yourself into ? taylor : maybe just a little bit of a challenge , but it is n't anything i ca n't handle . rick : you 're entering into a joint custody situation . i 'm talking about a future being connected to my mother . taylor , i - i admire that you want to be a - a mother to little jack . but have you ever considered the fact that it just might not be your place in life ? taylor : no . my place in life is with him . but you know what ? you 're making me think about this now . i 'm just curious . where do you think my place in life is ? [ scene_break ] felicia : mom ? yo , mom ? ridge : sis , mother 's not here . felicia : well , that 's okay 'cause you 're the one i 'm looking for anyway . i 'm not interrupting a father / daughter moment , am i ? phoebe : no , i have to head back to my dorm anyway , lots of work to finish . felicia : is everything okay at school ? i have n't talked to you in a couple days . phoebe : yeah , thanks for giving me a heads - up about grandpa 's picture in the paper . felicia : oh , god . yeah , i figured you needed to be forewarned . phoebe : i - i hid out for a couple of days , and then i realized it 's kind of funny if you think about it . are he and donna still together ? felicia : that 's actually why i 'm here . ridge , we have a golden opportunity . ridge : do we ? felicia : yes . it 's mom and dad 's anniversary , and it 's a biggie , and he has promised her that the family is gon na be together on this day . so we just have to figure out some way to make sure he does n't leave after . ridge : i do n't know , sis . he 's pretty committed to donna . felicia : what ? i 'm not gon na just hand him over to her , not without a fight . are you with me ? phoebe : well , i 'm sure we both are . let me know if you need anything . i actually -- i have to go . bye , dad . ridge : bye . phoebe : bye . felicia : bye . [ scene_break ] storm : okay , so what you 're asking for is an emergency hearing to determine custody on the basis of your opinion that taylor is temporarily unfit to care for your child , right ? nick : i want to go about this as careful as we can for taylor 's sake . storm : i understand , but if you want to remove your child from taylor 's care immediately , then we have to build a case against her . we have to prove how unstable she is . nick : i know that , but just do it as respectfully as possible . i do n't want her dragged through the mud . storm : ( sighs ) well , you said that , uh , taylor herself admitted to drinking and that she 's had a hard time connecting with jack , right ? nick : the bottom line is i do n't want her alone with my son , not until she 's proven she 's stable . storm : i understand . you do n't want to take away her parental rights completely . you just want to make sure that any visitation taylor has with jack be supervised . nick : exactly . storm : okay . well , now that i have all the facts , i can understand why you , uh -- why you 'd be concerned . why do n't i just go ahead and make a few calls , see what i can do ? nick : ( sighs ) brooke : ( sighs ) i know this is hard for you . nick : i just hate doing this to taylor . brooke : i hate it , too , but we have to think about jack , what 's best for him . you 're doing the right thing . nick : ( whispers ) okay . i found it ! [ scene_break ] ridge : look , felicia , about this anniversary party -- felicia : just hear me out , okay ? i l - i really think we can convince dad not to leave . if we get the family together , and i mean the whole family , and we make it very moving and emotional , you know what he is with his family . i mean , this family is his greatest accomplishment . donna ca n't compete with that . ridge : dad 's in a different place now . that silly photograph that was plastered all over the style section -- he barely even batted an eye . donna has changed him . he actually seems like a happy man now . felicia : what is wrong with you ? do you not care about this at all ? ridge : sometimes , sis , you got ta grab happiness when you can . felicia : whoa . do i smell trouble in paradise ? what did brooke do now , huh ? ridge : she did n't do anything , except just be herself , and it 's kind of making me a little nuts . felicia : something to do with nick 's baby , the one that she 's accidentally the mother of ? ridge : nick and taylor split up . felicia : surprise , surprise . ridge : and i put my wedding on hold until brooke can figure all this out . felicia : uh , which will be , like , forever . ridge : well , now you 're sounding like taylor . felicia : ( laughs ) i can read the tea leaves all by myself . good luck . ridge : god , every time brooke and i are so close . felicia : did you ever stop to think that , um , maybe it 's just not meant to be ? okay . i 'm sure you two will work things out . um , but about mom and dad 's anniversary party -- ridge : look , you go ahead and plan it . i 'll be there . just do n't expect any great miracles . felicia : that 's just it , big brother . i am absolutely expecting a miracle . maybe you should , too . [ scene_break ] storm : okay , great . thank you . well , we 're in luck . i was able to arrange for an emergency petition to be heard first thing tomorrow morning . the process servers are on their way over to taylor 's to serve her the papers . nick : thank you . storm : well , i better get home , get to work so we 're prepared for tomorrow morning . see ya in court . nick : ( scoffs ) see ya in court . oh , god , what a mess . i never thought i 'd be battling for custody of my son . brooke : taylor 's given you no choice . nick : it seems like there should have been some other way . brooke : well , there was n't . and i ca n't help but think about rick 's involvement in all of this . nick : when did he become so close to taylor ? brooke : it seems strange . nick : well , maybe it 's a good thing . if jack comes home to us , she 'll need somebody there for her . brooke : my son , of all people ? nick : well , he seems committed to it . he 's a good guy . brooke : but why ? where is this coming from ? [ scene_break ] rick : so where is your place ? well , right now it 's here with me . taylor , you are a - a brilliant psychiatrist . you 've successfully raised three children . you 're beautiful , talented , sexy , completely irresistible . taylor : if you do n't stop being so sweet , i 'm not letting you come over here anymore . rick : ( laughs ) i ca n't . i ca n't stop . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . and you have nothing to worry about with me . i 'm the one man in this entire universe that is not going to fall in love with brooke logan .

'cause a woman like dayzee , she 's a woman worth fighting for , and that 's what i intend on doing . amber : gee , steffy , just think if things work out , you could end up being my . stepmother - in - law . hmm ... but you 'd have to get bill to divorce katie first , and- steffy : oh , wow . you have quite an imagination . oh , but then again , the way you t pregnant was pretty creative , too , so ... gosh , liam does n't remember a thing . amber : yeah . it 's too bad . steffy : mm . amber : made a baby , and it 's all a blur to him . steffy : ( chuckles ) amber : ( chuckles ) listen , uh , about bill spencer , my advice -- do n't waste your time . he and katie are solid , and ...

( sighs ) katie : honey , circumstances change . yours are completely different from what they were , from what you thought they were when you had that press conference . hope : ( sighs ) which was so stupid ! i got so ahead of myself . i told everybody that liam and i were going to get married the very next day . how could i think that steffy was going to make it that easy for us ? of course she 's not . she is going to drag it out as long as she can until that divorce is final . katie : well , it 's not fair ... hope : ( sighs ) katie : but it 's the way it is . hope : i 've gone on record- i am hope logan waiting until marriage . it 's like that 's become my identity now . katie : hope , that does not define you . hope : ( sighs ) katie : that is a facet of your life . it 's not who you are or were . it is a public persona , an image . it does n't make you you . hope : ( sighs ) this should n't be this hard . ( sighs ) katie : ( chuckles ) hope : liam and i have done everything we 're supposed to do . we have waited so long to be together . no more . i 'm done waiting . there 's so much inside me that says it 's -- it 's okay . i think i 'm ready . katie : and i will support you 100 % if that 's what you decide . honey , if you make that choice , you do n't have to announce it to the world , okay ? this is your life , your business , your body , your relationship . this is between you and liam and no one else . hope : i love liam . he loves me . katie : mm - hmm . hope : we 're completely committed to each other . we 're so tired of waiting , we can hardly stand it , so why should we ? yeah .

[ scene_break ] wyatt : stephanie forrester , the family matriarch . her name is synonymous with elegance and class , and everybody in the world knows it . i mean , they 've seen her at showings and galas and -- and receptions here in paris and in l.a . i mean , who does n't remember her wearing this piece on the covers of fashion magazines all over the world ? look , stephanie 's jewelry collection is a fashion - history artifact and no doubt will someday be in a museum . but for now , we have the opportunity -- maybe even the responsibility -- to bring it to the world . and the world will flock to come and see it . as you all know , hope for the future has an upcoming show here in paris , and i suggest that we display this collection at that showing . the blue hftf diamond was a smashing success . this will keep the momentum going . this will keep us front and center in fashion consciousness . so , what do you say ? let 's do this ? brooke : sounds great . thomas : very good job , wyatt . wyatt : thank you . thorne : well done , wyatt . very well done . i remember mother wearing this at the olympic ball in innsbruck . brooke : i remember when stephanie wore this to the queen 's jubilee . hope : mm . thomas : [ chuckles ] thorne : well , that 's a great idea , wyatt . wyatt : thanks . thorne : everyone agree ? hope : [ laughing ] yes . aly : no . i do n't . how dare you make a spectacle of my grandmother ? these jewels are family heirlooms . they are precious , and you want to put them on display like a sideshow ? that is so wrong . thorne : honey , this is n't a sideshow . this jewelry collection is going to honor your grandmother . thomas : it 's the perfect fit -- stephanie 's elegant jewelry , hope 's incredible collection . aly : hope for the future has a message . this ? this is a publicity stunt just like that stupid blue diamond . we have to get hope for the future back on track . wyatt : back on track ? the sales are off the charts . aly : you see what i mean about him ? it 's all about money . we do n't need money . what we need is to stay true to what hope represents -- principles , values . wyatt : you 're serious . brooke : aly , the message was wonderful , but it did cause a problem . aly : not for me it did n't . and not for the people who admire hope . i am online with your fans every day reminding them what you stand for . we can not let wyatt and his mother pollute that message . thomas : pollute the message ? hope : aly ... like my mom said , tying the message to the line was great in theory , but it did become very problematic . aly : what are you saying , hope ? hope : well , i 'm saying that the line is n't so much about the message anymore . aly : well , it should be . that was the best part ! [ scene_break ] eric : aly may need to see someone . taylor : [ sighs ] i ca n't tell you how much i wish i could reach out and help her . it 's just i do n't think i 'm the right person . i do n't think she 's ever going to get over what happened . eric : i 'm sorry to hear that . taylor : why ? why should she have to get over me causing her mother 's death ? eric : it was a car accident , taylor . taylor : it was an inexcusable accident ... unforgivable from a child 's perspective . i 'll never forget having to sit her down when thorne and i told her that she would never see her mother again .

[ back to present ] eric : you handled that as best you could . taylor : yeah , but i could never make up for all the pain . she had so much pent - up anger . i 'll never forget what she did on my wedding day .

[ gasps ] [ back to present ] taylor : i feel for her , eric , i do . i 'm -- i 'm never going to forgive myself . i mean , i talk to patients who 've gone through this every day -- patients who 've gone through so much loss as a child . i know what it does . eric : do you think this is the root of her problem ? the loss of her mother ? taylor : [ sighs ] actually , it 's much deeper than that . if aly is spiraling downward , hope and wyatt are going to have their hands full . [ scene_break ] wyatt : wow . hope : you were incredible . wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , somebody in the room did n't think so . hope : that was really unexpected . wyatt : yeah . hope : i mean , i - i knew that she had , you know , some issues with you , but -- wyatt : like she hates me ? hope : ugh ! i 'm so sorry . wyatt : look , its okay . it 's fine . we knocked it out of the park . aly will come around . or not . hope : oh , god . wyatt : yeah . hope : you 're so good at this stuff . wyatt : stuff ? hope : yeah . wyatt : this stuff ? hope : this stuff . all -- all kinds of stuff . wyatt : yeah ? hope : yeah . it 's really a turn - on watching you do your thing . wyatt : yeah ? hope : mm - hmm . wyatt : i am not a piece of meat , okay ? i believe in this line . and it 's gon na put you back on the covers where you belong . you know ? hope : [ sighs ] i have to go talk to my mom . wyatt : okay . see you later . aly : you know , kids at school used to tease me . they used to say that i was nerdy and self - absorbed . wyatt : well , they were wrong . you 're not self - absorbed . aly : i know . you are . wyatt : aly -- aly : you 're destroying her . hope , hope for the future , even this family . i ca n't let that happen . wyatt : how am i destroying them ? aly : this , for starters . my grandmother 's legacy , and you 're turning it into a circus act . wyatt : that is not what i 'm -- aly : listen to me . you do whatever you want when it comes to the fullers . but when it comes to me and my family and our business , you respect us . wyatt : what have i ever done to you , huh ? what is this all -- aly : hope is caught up in something . she ca n't see it , but i can . you 're bad for her , wyatt . bad for this line . if she would have just married liam ... but she did n't . she became a hypocrite ... compromised everything she believed in . i have to save her ... from you . and i 'm going to , wyatt . i am going to put a stop to all of this . [ scene_break ] hope : tell me about aly . brooke : she 's just sensitive , sweetie . hope : i 'll say . she , uh -- she really did n't like wyatt 's idea . thorne : well , i 'll deal with aly . hope : she just , um ... she seems different , you know ? is -- is she okay ? brooke : she 's always looked up to you . hope : yeah , but to go off on wyatt like that was ... thorne : it 's your message -- the original message . hope , that meant a lot to aly in high school . brooke : she 'll get used to wyatt . how could she not ? hope : okay . true . you know , that guy could charm the skin off a snake . [ scene_break ] wyatt : look , i do n't know where all this anger is coming from , but you need to calm down . aly : you and your flashy jewels . and you know what 's just so funny ? is that they 're not even yours , and you act like they are . wyatt : what ? aly : my grandmother 's precious heirlooms , and you take them and use them to entice hope . it 's disgusting . wyatt : entice her ? aly : yeah . wyatt : entice her . aly : yeah . away from liam . the nicest , sweetest , funniest man you could ever want . wyatt : oh , my god . you need to slow down , girl . aly : you know , there is nothing to you , wyatt . greed , maybe . self - promotion . big - shot mr. popular . wyatt : okay , that 's enough . aly : turning heads , trending . you do n't give a darn about hope for the future . you 're just using it -- her beautiful line , her inspiring message -- and you turn it into something ugly . wyatt : you finished ? aly : you may have her dazzled , but not for much longer . wyatt : mm . aly : i 'm gon na see to that . wyatt : you will , huh ? aly : yeah . i will . maybe i was n't the most popular girl in school , but i know your type -- hanging out at the lockers with all the jocks , getting all the attention from the dumb cheer girls . i know exactly who you are . wyatt : aly , it was n't like that for me . look , i want to get along with you , okay ? you do n't like this promotion , i get that . but you need to look and see how much this is gon na benefit hope and the line and the company . and stephanie would n't mind , either . aly : you did n't even know my grandmother . wyatt : i 've heard enough about her . aly : that is not the same thing . wyatt : aly , we are both in this together , okay ? it 's like we 're part of the same family here . now , would you please just cut me some slack ? aly : no , no . you and i , we are not part of the same family . you and i are not part of the same anything . you will not touch hope again . do you hear me ? wyatt : well , it 's a bit late for that now ... now that we 're both members of the mile - high club . aly : how dare you ! wyatt : ow ! aly : [ sighs ] you pack up your jewels , you take your mother , and you go back to your slimy home , wherever that may be . you are done here , wyatt . done . you are officially fired from forrester creations , and you will not go near hope again . is that understood ? have i made myself perfectly clear ? | wyatt kisses hope . aly is peeking behind the door and bursts in and shouts at wyatt to take his hands off of hope right now . it catches them so by surprise that they do n't know if she is serious or what . thorne confides in brooke that aly thinks wyatt is bad for hope and the company . aly wanted to be at brooke 's wedding but he sensed something was wrong then . that 's why he flew her to paris and put her to work with the hftf collection which she loves . she has her whole room with promo material all over the wall and hope 's quotes on her bulletin board . she admires hope and her message . she lives by it and it has helped her through some tough situations . but with wyatt she sees hope as losing her way . thorne says it is not wyatt 's fault . he does n't even know aly has a problem . neither does hope or the younger kids and he 'd like to keep it that way . brooke says she has to hope that hope and wyatt will win aly over . thorne wants to agree but he says when aly is in that spiral , there is not much anyone can do . she idolizes hope but that is part of the problem . hope was perfect in her eyes . but when she started seeing wyatt she felt betrayed . he tells brooke that he is glad she is here . he needs all the support he can get . he hates to see her like this . it is ripping him apart . eric is surprised to see taylor walk into his office , they hug . she says all is fine and with thorne in paris the entire company has been energized . eric tells her about hope and wyatt being in paris now with stephanie 's jewelry . she brings up the obvious that ridge is back now with brooke . she is okay with that if it is what both want . he asks if she saw aly before she left . she says no and asks how she is . eric says okay until she heard wyatt 's name and that set her off . she obviously does n't like him but the way she said it with that tone in her voice scared him . she was very aggressive and very , very negative . and he 's worried about her . taylor says eric knows her history with aly and she 's always had concerns for her . hope asks aly what 's the problem . aly sneers that wyatt is the problem . he 's wrong for her , all wrong . wyatt thinks she is joking . aly says no and she ca n't believe hope would let him touch or kiss her . it 's disgusting . hope tries to calm her down and find out what 's bothering her . aly goes on a tirade hftf , her message . she is ruining it . wyatt is ruining it . wyatt gets it she is not joking . aly continues that she admired hope so much , her commitment , her self - respect but she does n't recognize her anymore . and it all started when he came into her life . she hates it . thorne and thomas walk in and thorne asks what is going on . hope tells aly that she is sorry if she upset her . thorne says wyatt has a presentation to make so brooke joins in . wyatt says they are trending all over the world . hftf is the industry darling and now they are going to make it the industry addiction with this the stephanie forrester collection . wyatt points out many pieces when people will remember that stephanie wore at openings and galas . she was the matriarch of the family . the blue hftf diamond was a smashing success and this will keep the momentum going . everyone agrees it will be a great promotion .. well everyone but aly . she lashes out at wyatt that how dare he make a spectacle of her grandmother . these are family heirlooms , not a circus sideshow . this is so wrong . thorne tries to tell her this is an incredible collection that will honor her grandmother . aly says hftf has a message and it 's not this publicity stunt like the stupid diamond one . they have to get hftf back on track . she says with wyatt it 's all about money . they do n't need money . they need to stay true to the principles and values . brooke adds that the message was wonderful but it was problematic . aly says not for her . she 's on line every day with hope 's fans . she can not let wyatt and his mother pollute that message . hope reminds her the line is not so much the message anymore . aly says it should be . taylor tells eric that she wishes she could reach out and help aly out but she 's not the one to do that . it was an inexcusable accident but she did cause her mother 's death . and she will never forget how she cut up her dress on her wedding day . and the loss of her mother is not the worst of the problem . if she is spiraling downward , then hope and wyatt will have their hands full . hope tells wyatt that he did good and she is sorry for the way aly went off on him . hopefully aly will come around . aly peeks in the door just as wyatt and hope kiss . she excuses herself to go see her mother . aly makes her presence known by slamming the door . wyatt is packing some of the jewelry away . she says kids at school used to tease her that she was nerdy and self - absorbed . but it is wyatt that is self - absorbed . she says he is destroying hope and this family and she ca n't let that happen . he tries to reason with her but she cuts him off . she puts her finger in his face and says he can do what he wants with the fullers but when it comes to her family he will respect them . |

if you were happy ... you say you loved each other . how does that happen ? katie : well , um , sometimes adults make different choices , and it leads them in different directions , and ... you hold for as long as you can , but it 's ultimately best for everyone to separate . bill : but , uh , we have you , all right ? and you 're a spectacular kid . so the bond between mommy and daddy -- that could never be totally broken . katie : it 's true . we may have disagreements ... bill : but we 've always found a way to work through them . will : but you did n't get back together . bill : but we 're still a family . and with everything we 've been through , it 's stronger than ever . quinn : you two got engaged ?

will : could we ? bill : yeah , as long as you get your homework done . will : i 'll get it all done , i swear . & katie : i will hold you to that . will : can mom come , too ? katie : oh , i -- i think that basketball is kind of something you and daddy do together . bill : i do n't know about that . maybe we need to switch that up here , turn boys ' night into family night . what do you say ? liam : this is not the answer . you 're not even thinking straight now , you 're not . hope : you could be with steffy and your daughter and phoebe . i 'm not stopping you . liam : yeah , except nobody actually wants that . hope : they 're babies , liam ! they 're innocent babies , and i do n't want to be the reason that they grow up without a dad ! steffy : hope , the girls are fine . liam : see ? they 're fine ! they 're totally fine ! you do n't need to do this ! hope : yes , i do ! yes , i do , and so do you . i mean , it 's -- it 's the only thing that makes sense . you know , i do n't -- i ca n't go on like this , knowing that i 'm keeping you from them . please , i mean , you need -- you just need to be together and love each other and make a family together . quinn : so , you said yes . eric : you 're both leaving forrester . quinn : because bill agreed to revive spectra . wyatt : look , he 's trying to be a better person , but , trust me , he 's no eric forrester . quinn : [ scoffs ] wyatt : seriously . you have given me so much opportunity , and i am so grateful for everything . like all your support and generosity . like , you took a chance on both of us , you know ? all three of us , technically , if you think about it . quinn : mm . eric : the two of you have made a big impact on forrester . on me , too . i understand why you want to do this . i think your mother does , too . quinn : i wish i didn't . really , i wish i could just tell you forget bill and stay here . because it was so fun , you know ? it was like -- it was like old times working with you . but i get it , you know . i get why it 's important for you to work with bill and be at his company . and you deserve it . you both do . i just hope he does n't hurt you again . bill : you do n't trust me . katie : oh , to plan our next family outing ? um , let 's see -- laker game or how about a trip down to the los angeles port authority to watch international commerce at work ? bill : oh ! oh , do n't tease me . katie : i know . bill : do you have any idea how many teus the port processes every month ? i mean , that 's pretty titillating stuff . katie : yeah , well , i think our son would actually enjoy that . bill : well , yeah . international commerce courses through his veins . of course . katie : he would like to do it because he wants to do things with you . bill : well , i feel the same way about him . katie : i like seeing how happy he is , how confident . you know , it 's important , with all the changes that are happening in his life . you 've really stepped up , you know , and it means more than i can say . bill : some of the happiest times in my life , katie , when i was with my best self , at peace and satisfied ... were times like these . liam : you have got to start taking care of yourself . you are overwhelmed with grief and stress . steffy : spending time with phoebe and kelly , it seemed like a good idea . hope : no , it made me see what i was taking away from them . holding phoebe , i think about beth . i think about the life that i imagined for her . the simple things , you know ? waking up in the morning , spending time on the bed together or playing outside , and ... mommy and daddy being there . loving her every step of the way . and i did n't have that . and i -- i could n't give that to her . i never got the chance . but i can give that to you . i can give that to phoebe . i can give that to kelly . please ... please just let me give them that . liam : you ca n't just give me away . you ca n't take off your ring and end our marriage because you think it 's what 's right . you 're wrong , it 's not . i 'm -- i 'm sorry , i love you , and i 'm not going anywhere . listen . i can be a good husband and a good father at the same time . i can . what i ca n't do is give up on us , and i 'm not gon na let you do that , either . daisy , daisy sour cream sally : as difficult of a decision as this was for wyatt , it was even harder for me . eric : but reviving your great aunt sally 's legacy , that 's been your dream . sally : yeah , but , i mean , working at forrester creations , being on the same design team as eric and ridge forrester ? i mean , that was beyond anything i ever could have imagined . eric : you should be very proud of everything you accomplished here . sally : i am . and very thankful . i 've learned a lot from you , eric . eric : you two both brought a fresh perspective to this company . thank you for that . much like , uh , my beautiful wife did when she first arrived . quinn : oh , i 'm gon na keep my talents right here , do n't you worry . eric : okay .

nick : it wo n't be long before you 're home now , home where you belong with your old man taking care of you . that you can count on . taylor : ( sniffles ) what are you thinking , nick ? why are you doing this to me ?

( sighs ) i would never put him in danger , nick . please . you know that i 'm a good mother . nick : ( sighs ) you 're an amazing mother when you 're stable . i just think you need some more time to get on your feet . taylor : you 're wrong . mentally and emotionally , i 'm -- i 'm fine . i 'm just fine . nick : taylor , the way you behaved here yesterday -- taylor : if you think for one second i would ever do anything to harm our baby , you 've got ta be kidding me . why are you thinking this about me ? i would never do anything like that , nick . i mean , i know what 's really going on . i know this is all brooke . i know that is the reason you want to take custody . i know that . that 's why you 're doing this . that 's why you 're motivated to do this , is n't it ? am i right ? just answer me , nick . nick : i 'm sorry . i 'll see you in court . taylor : ( sniffles ) why are you trying to take my baby ? !

amber : brooke , do not let ridge turn this around . okay ? yes , i took this picture of him kissing bridget , but not to hurt you . but to spare you more pain . ridge : oh , come on , amber ! logan , you 're not buying this , are you ?

[ scene_break ] stephanie : you 're married to steffy . you ca n't move in with hope . liam : respectfully , stephanie , you ca n't tell me who to live with . stephanie : i can try . liam : ( chuckles ) stephanie : hope is a wonderful girl , and she 's going to make some fellow very happy one of these days ... just not you . and your father is right -- she 's unsuitable . liam : i 'm sorry . she -- '' unsuitable `` ? stephanie : she 's a logan . my granddaughter is a forrester . liam : uh -- stephanie : she 's smart . she 's ambitious . she knows how to handle herself , and if i have to say so , she 's hot . liam : ( chuckles ) stephanie : there is n't anyone better for you than the woman you 're already married to . liam , talk to hope . end this with her . let her get on with her own life , and you get on with yours with steffy . liam : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : why are you so calm ? hope : i 'm accepting your decision not to sign the annulment papers . is n't that what you want ? for liam and me to just accept whatever you say ? steffy : it sounds like you do n't even care . hope : oh , well , i 'd certainly rather you sign them , but ... it does n't matter anyway . it 's not really gon na change anything . steffy : change what ? hope : ( chuckles ) oh . well , you might as well hear it from me . i 'm moving in with liam -- tonight . and we 're going to be together in every way . i mean , there 's nothing we can do about the waiting period before we get married , but we do n't have to stay frozen in place . steffy : is liam on board with this ? hope : what do you think ? steffy : wow . you 're really something , you know that ? what about your ... precious message ? all your hope for the future acolytes ? hope : ( scoffs ) do n't even pretend that you care about them . steffy : so typical logan -- brooke with her sexuality , you with your purity . different sides of the same coin -- using your body as a weapon . hope : ( chuckles ) that is almost funny coming from you . steffy : at least i approach from the front , where you see me coming . i do n't dress it up in pretty words like `` fate `` or `` romance . `` you 're stealing my husband , hope . there is nothing beautiful or pure about it . it 's immoral . it 's adultery , hope . you 're committing adultery . | liam ca n't even wrap his head around hope 's good news . she says they can start their marriage any time they want .and there is nothing steffy can do to stop them . steffy tells her dad that if liam still wants to marry hope in six months that she will be gracious . but in the meantime she is still mrs. liam spencer and that 's all there is to it . she is sure that liam still loves her , but hope just confuses him . he feels guilty because he promised a future with her and then he did n't deliver . she feels everything will be right with him again . stephanie confesses to brooke that she spoke to liam about making this mistake . he made the right choice when he married steffy and he should stay with her . stephanie reads between the lines and guesses that hope is going to sleep with liam tonight and she ca n't wait to get out of the office to go do something . hope tells liam until tonight .and every night thereafter . |

look , you do n't have to -- you do n't have to decide this week , next month . whenever you 're ready . because you know how i feel about you . i mean , if you have a problem with a man appreciating what you have to offer , every little thing , then by all means , you could take a pass . you could always go back to someone like deacon or nick . more of the same . if that 's what you 're looking for . bridget : what i 'm looking for is you . where have you been all my life ? dante : under that nosey , cute little nose . jackie : i do n't know how much longer we 're going to be able to stop those three from tearing up the stairs . stephanie : well , we better , unless we want the ceremony to continue . and i know you do n't want that any more than i do . god , i wish i could pass this headache on to you . jackie : `` this headache `` being brooke , of course ? stephanie : well , she 's in love with your son . jackie : yeah , well , it 's no secret that i 've believed for a long time that nicky belongs with brooke . but my son is an honorable man , and he made a commitment to bridget and -- stephanie : he only went back to her because she was pregnant . bridget -- i believe she knew that from the very beginning , she just could n't face it until i -- jackie : until you what , stephanie ? you did n't go over to bridget 's and pressure her into -- oh god , stephanie , what have you done ? brooke : a mistake ? bridget : mom , you should not be marrying ridge if you 're still in love with nick . brooke : sweetheart -- bridget : no , don't . please , don't . if you ever want to be happy again , you 've got to stop doing this . brooke : doing what ? bridget : just living this way and marrying people that you 're not in love with . that is over . it 's over . and so is my marriage . brooke : bridget , no . bridget : mom , please . i know that you love him . and i know that he loves you . you can keep trying to fight it or resist it . brooke : i am not going to let you to talk this way . you are overwhelmed . and you just suffered a tragic loss . bridget : i 'm probably going to be suffering that loss for the rest of my life . but you know what would be just as tragic , is if i just bury my head and pretend things are n't the way they really are . please , please , listen to me . i know that you love nick . see , i can say that without any resentment or any bitterness . do i wish things were different for me ? of course i do , mother . i -- i love him . but losing nicole and finding out dominick 's real paternity , it made me to look at things a lot more honestly . i 'll never have the life that i really need -- that i know , deep down , you really want for me -- that we all want for each other -- if i keep holding on to things that are n't really mine to begin with . the truth is , you would not be marrying ridge today if nick was available . but he 's available now . you are free to be together . jackie : i want an answer , stephanie . stephanie : this is not the time or the place . jackie : if you went over there and you -- eric : over where ? what 's going on ? what 're you talking about ? jackie : apparently , stephanie had a heart - to - heart with bridget that none of us knew about . lord knows what she said . stephanie : i said what needed to be said , something that none of you were willing to do . massimo : which is what ? stephanie : mas , that marriage has no children to hold it together anymore . i told bridget let him go . she needs to find someone who 's in love with her . she deserves a life with a man who 's not in love with her mother . i hope that 's what she did . i hope that 's why he barged in here and carted brooke off . let brooke have him . let them sail off into the sunset , for god 's sakes . and do n't pretend like i 'm meddling . ridge : you just ca n't stay out of our lives , can you , mother ? i 'll deal with you later . after the minister pronounces brooke and me husband and wife . brooke : ridge is waiting for me downstairs . bridget : i 'll go talk to him . brooke : no ! you are giving up on your marriage at a time when you need it the most . i am not going to let you do this . bridget : mom , what i need from you right now is honesty . i know that you love ridge , but deep down , i know who you really , really want is nick . brooke : honey , please -- bridget : no , mom . it 's okay . you do . i know that you do . it 's okay . my marriage is over . he 's yours . listen to me -- you are both free to be together , okay ? ridge : what is wrong with you ? get the hell out of this house , nick . we 're seconds away from being married . come on , brooke , the minister 's waiting . logan ? brooke ? | nick tries to convince brooke that bridget wants them together . brooke is n't buying it till bridget comes over to try . brooke thinks bridget is just confused and traumatized . bridget assures her she 's not . she 's realized the truth . she loves nick but it just wo n't work . dante daydreams about bridget . |
stephanie : i want a straight answer . rick : stephanie , please . i do n't have to answer to you . stephanie : fine , you want to take that position ? but , it does n't fly from you . you 're going to marry ridge . you 've told him that there 's nothing going on with those two . but , you 're sneaking around behind his back playing cupid . i think he has a right to know though . [ scene_break ] nick : why 'd you have so much trouble getting her pulse ? doctor : well , that 's how it is with hypothermia . how long were you in the water ? nick : i do n't know . by the time we got hit and i got to her , she 'd gone under a few times . doctor : well , you did a good job of clearing her lungs , or we 'd be looking at something much worse . taylor : they 're out to get you . nick : why is she doing that ? why is she mumbling and not making sense ? doctor : she does n't have much body fat . the cold got to her fast . we 'll watch her for a few hours , but my guess is it wo n't be long before she 's her usual self . i 'll be back to check on her again . nick : thanks , doc . taylor : you look terrible . nick : well , i 'm sorry . i have n't had time to freshen up yet . [ scene_break ] ridge : close the door . i just heard something very disturbing . phoebe : i do n't know why it would be so disturbing . ridge : you know about it ? phoebe : well , i do n't know exactly what brooke told you , but -- ridge : it 's about a picture of you and rick circulating around on the internet . phoebe : what picture ? ridge : the two of you singing at c.j . 's coffee house . apparently , jarrett from `` eye - on fashion `` wants to know a lot about it . phoebe : well , c.j . does n't exactly confiscate cell phones at the door , dad . ridge : is there anymore to it ? phoebe : no , it was karaoke right , and we ran into each other there . you know all about it . ridge : so , what was it that brooke might have told me that you did n't want me to know about ? [ scene_break ] brooke : i 'm in here talking to my son and my daughter in their home , and you barge in here throwing around all of these accusations . stephanie : i 'm worried about the family and a scandal . brooke : well , if this is the way it 's going to be , stephanie , you can go right back to ridge , and you can tell him that the wedding is off . because i am not signing up for a lifetime of having you trying to find me doing something that ridge would n't want me to do and having my children under surveillance . forget it . to hell with that ! stephanie : fine . brooke , i 'm trying to protect phoebe . and to respect her father 's wishes , which you are not . i 'm trying to protect this family . it 's a whole business venture from blowing up in some kind of a mushroom cloud of a scandal . what are you protecting ? [ scene_break ] phoebe : brooke just saw me with rick before we left rodeo drive . i thought she might have said something . ridge : what do you mean `` with `` ? phoebe : well , like in the same room . and it was n't his idea , it was mine . i just -- ridge : you just wanted to see him ? phoebe : yeah . ridge : thought maybe you could change his mind ? phoebe : well , he still thinks it 's wrong . ridge : well , i 'm sorry . phoebe : if you really meant that . ridge : oh , i mean it , kiddo . i mean it . what do you think is more precious to me than you ? the last thing a father wants is to break his little girl 's heart . and i personally could n't live with myself if i backed away and let something worse happen to you . just because i did n't want to be the bad guy and make you unhappy . okay ? right ? [ scene_break ] brooke : it does n't have to be a contest unless you make it one . [ phone rings ] bridget : oh , sorry you guys . it 's the hospital . hello . rick : stephanie , can you ever really enter or leave a room without a threat ? bridget : wait . i 'm sorry . hold on , nick . i ca n't hear , can you please be quiet ? brooke : nick 's in the hospital ? nick : it was an accident with the marlin , and we were hit by a tanker in the fog . they 're giving taylor oxygen right now and warmed iv fluids . it 's hypothermia , and they think that 's all it is . bridget : yeah , well , is taylor conscious ? stephanie : taylor ? nick : she 's a bit spacey . bridget : well , disorientation is typical . listen , i 'm going to come running out to the hospital and take a look at her chart . brooke : what happened ? bridget : i 've got to get to the hospital . the marlin was in a terrible accident . stephanie : i 'll follow you . brooke : is taylor hurt ? bridget : it seems like everything is okay . but , nick just wants to be sure . stephanie : you know , i think i should call ridge . bridget : i do n't know that we need to scare him . rick : you know what ? phoebe 's going to be worried sick . i got ta go too . brooke : not so fast . rick : mom , you did n't seem all that calm before hearing about taylor and your ex on his boat in the middle of the night . brooke : forget about that . what about what happened here ? rick : i know . you told stephanie what she needed to hear . i 'm so proud of you . brooke : and i 'm going to tell you the same . rick : no , no . mom , we 'll do whatever you want . okay , we 'll keep it quiet . brooke : that 's what you say . but , what about what i walked in on today ? now you want to go hold her hand ? rick : i wo n't hold her hand , all right ? we wo n't do anything we ca n't do in plain sight . look , i thought about what you said before . maybe phoebe needed a crush , and i happened to be in the right place at the right time . but , if this is going to fade out , why not just let it die a natural death ? mom , the girl is in love -- in love for the first time . i do n't want this to be a miserable experience for her . brooke : rick , there is so much at stake . rick : i 'm sorry , i hate saying this . but , i 'm not wrong . you want me to deliberately hurt this girl , to be cruel for no reason because the man you 're marrying -- he wants the entire world to live by his rules . brooke : ridge is not like that . but on this issue -- rick : think about it . what if this is the real thing ? true love . okay , fine . odds are it 's probably not . but , what if it is ? you really want to deny me this ? you want to deny me something that you have been looking for your entire life ? brooke : there can not be another close call like there was tonight . rick : there wo n't be . i promise . brooke : i mean it , rick . stephanie will be like a dog with a bone . rick : despite what you think , i care about your happiness just as much as you care about mine . it does n't mean that i have to agree with your choice either . [ scene_break ] nick : i mean it here . i 'm serious , look at me . how man fingers do i have up ?

[ scene_break ] ridge : i wonder if steffy knows . brooke : about tonight ? i hope not . ridge : me , too . she 's gon na be crushed . brooke : steffy had her chance . it did n't work out , and now it 's hope 's turn . ( sighs ) tonight is so significant for my daughter -- the first time she 's going to be with a man . it 's a very significant time in a young woman 's life . i just want it to be beautiful for her . [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) ( bianca moon 's `` shining star `` playing ) 'cause you you 're my shining star you 're the light i see at night you 're the world to me you 're my shining star you 're the light i see will you marry me ? [ scene_break ] liam : part of me will always love you , steffy . that 's why this is so hard . i came here because i have to make you understand . i 'm starting a new life tonight , and you should do the same . steffy : ( sniffles ) is that honestly what you want ? for me to just give up all my love for you and just give it to someone else ? liam , at the restaurant , i know what it did to you when i was with rick . liam : steffy , it 's over . steffy : love does n't just end , not when it 's real . liam : i know . steffy : ( sniffles ) liam : i know that . i have to set a course for my life now . steffy : ( sniffles ) okay , so what about ... what about all of our memories ? ( sobs ) you 're just gon na push it out of your mind ? liam : you have to let that go . we both do . we both have to let it go . steffy : ( sniffles ) no , the best time of my life ? no . ( sobs ) no , i ca n't . i wo n't . ( sighs shakily ) ( sniffles ) ( sobbing ) liam : steffy . steffy : just please stay . please . liam : i ca n't . steffy : ( sighs ) she made you miserable , and i helped you . it -- it is not gon na change . liam : it already has changed . steffy : she is the same person . she is exactly like her mother . she 's exactly like all the logan women . no , it -- it wo n't be the same that it is for us , the passion that we have for each other , the passion for life . my god , look at me . i love you . you know , you , uh ... ( sighs ) you know that i love you . and i know that i 've made mistakes , and i 'm sorry , but ... ( voice breaking ) ( sniffles ) you know , i - i do n't want you to break that -- everything that -- that we cherish , and i do n't want you to leave me . i do n't want you to go to hope . just do n't go . liam : i have to go . steffy : you do n't have to do -- no , you do n't -- liam : i have to go . i have to go . steffy : you do n't have to do anything . steffy : you are my husband , and i am your wife . you do n't have to leave . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : just stay . ( laughs ) | steffy tells hope that in the eyes of god and the state she will be committing adultery . in her heart she knows that is wrong . hope does n't want to hear steffy preaching morality to her . she declares tonight she will share that choice with liam ; steffy no longer has control over that . ridge tells brooke the same thing . if steffy and liam do n't divorce after all , then hope is giving herself to a married man . tonight might not be as perfect as she is expecting . steffy was n't expecting to see liam tonight , but he pops in to tell her that he made a decision .well both him and hope and he thought steffy should know before she heard it from someone else . he stammers that he does n't regret one moment of their marriage . she wo n't let him finish . she just wants to be sure that he is ready for this because after tonight nothing will be the same for them again . he tells her about stephanie and bill coming to him to give him their advice , but those were things he already knew about her . she still believes that he is going to come back to her because she is in his heart . that will only hurt hope so she hopes he wo n't do this tonight . bill is in a good mood . he spouts to katie that tonight will be a train wreck for liam and she can take that to the bank . he wo n't wake up with a smile on his face tomorrow morning . he advises katie to call her niece and warn her ; she 's gon na have a letdown . both ridge and brooke hope that steffy does n't know about tonight . brooke knows it 's going to be a very significant time in her daughter 's life . hope waits for liam and he still wants to explain to steffy why he is doing this . she cries and begs him to stay . they are still husband and wife ; he does n't have to leave tonight . |

[ sighs ] oh , steffy . i do n't want you to get your hopes up , but ... i 'm open to it . maybe we can make it work . deacon : i told you what happened . i drove her home . wyatt : yeah , and then suddenly she 's putting on a swimsuit ? deacon : she wanted to take a dip ! i mean , it 's not the way you 're making it sound . wyatt : okay , but situations like these -- my mother hears what she wants to hear . deacon : what ? that i 'm a decent guy who gave a friend who had a few too many drinks a ride home ? wyatt : that a woman you used to sleep with was drunk and was trying to get you into her swimming pool . deacon : wyatt . nothing happened . brooke , come here . wyatt : you sure about that ? brooke : i 'm no threat to you ! quinn : exactly . so get that in your head ! brooke : i 'm not gon na stay away from deacon ! we have a daughter ! quinn : you have an adult daughter who lives in a different country who does n't need her parents communicating ! brooke : i 'm just -- quinn : what ? ! what ? ! and now that no other man will have you , you 're gon na go after the one that you 've been shunning all these years ? ! what do you think ? you can take deacon away from me ? ! brooke : no . but obviously you do . quinn : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i - i do n't -- i do n't know what got into me . i -- here . brooke : do n't . quinn : no , no , i 'm -- brooke : do n't ! quinn : i just want -- brooke : do n't ! quinn : you 're drunk ! just let me -- brooke : do n't touch me ! deacon : look , wyatt , you 're a good son , but relax . nothing happened . wyatt : okay . i do n't mean to pry . but i know your history with brooke . and i know what could happen , especially if she was knocking a few back . but i just want you to know one thing . my mother has n't cared about another man like this since my father . and she 's taken a big risk opening up her heart to you and trusting you . do not hurt her . quinn : i should n't have slapped you . brooke : you think ? quinn : and i apologize for spilling your drink . i 'll help you clean it up . brooke : just leave . quinn : i 'm just -- i 'm just trying to make things right . brooke : you ca n't . quinn : ca n't you at least understand where i 'm coming from ? brooke : no , you 're psycho ! you -- you slapped me so hard that i fall on the ground !

'cause i really do n't want you to feel responsible . this takeover may not work , but that 's not your fault . ivy : i just wish steffy could rise above her feelings for you and do what 's best for this company , do what 's best for everyone . i mean , is it too late to think that she might still do that ? bye . liam : bye . steffy : i wo n't get my hopes up , but i 'm thrilled you 're considering it . ridge : well , i am . it just seems wrong to sit here if we could put rick in his place . steffy : we can do that . running forrester with you and liam ... i want him back , and this will make that happen . ridge : good . i want you back . you -- you and your brother , you 're just too far away . so that 's what i want . and what i do n't want is you thinking i 'm gon na make a business decision just to fix your love life . steffy : i understand , but i 'm not asking you to do that . ridge : you kind of are asking me . steffy : no , i 'm asking you to fix the company . everything else will fall into place . ridge : hmm . wonder where you got that self - confidence . steffy : i do n't know . hmm .

wyatt : you seriously think i should be working at spencer ? quinn : it 's your birthright . wyatt : certainly more opportunities to advance in a company with your name on it . quinn : exactly . working with your father . now that liam has abdicated his throne , spencer publications could easily be yours someday if you position yourself correctly . liam : eve ? quinn : uh , hey , i 've got another call coming in . think about what i said , okay ?

[ scene_break ] katie : what about liam ? did you hear from him ? bill : oh , no , no . i mean , he could n't be bothered to answer his phone . it 's why i had to leave him a message about the engagement . katie : [ sighs ] do you really think that was wise ? bill : he needed to know . katie : i thought you were going to support wyatt . bill : i do . even more so now . liam texted back . katie : what did he say ? bill : he said that he is too busy , uh , finding himself to care about steffy or work or ... or any of us . [ scene_break ] steffy : liam 's not coming home anytime soon , and if he did , i highly doubt it would be for me . ridge : so you 're letting him go . after everything you 've been through , you 're just gon na give up ? steffy : he gave up , not me . and it really hurt , but wyatt is helping me through it . if you think i 'm just settling , if i 'm just with wyatt because liam 's not around , you 're wrong . i deserve to be with a man that i can count on . wyatt : i agree .

[ scene_break ] ridge : so , you thought you could propose to my daughter without asking me ? steffy : he 's -- he 's -- he 's joking . right ? wyatt : you know what ? i - i - i will ask you . because it 's important to me to know that you 're 100 % on board with this decision . and i want to make sure that you understand how much i care about your daughter . like , i - i will treat her better than any man has ever treated her . and she can always count on me . ridge : i 'm just messing with you . you did n't have to ask me . wyatt : oh , come on . ridge : i just want to make sure that you stand by your words . wyatt : done . ridge : congratulations . wyatt : okay , i - i - i did n't think i was gon na be sweating this much . steffy : yeah , he has that effect on people . wyatt : yeah . uh , but it went well , though , right ? steffy : it did . it did . so , did you tell your parents ? was your mom shocked ? wyatt : actually , uh , no . she , uh , she was n't surprised at all .

eric : amber , you 're a wonderful designer . you did some terrific work with me . but this -- what happened ? deacon : what happened was i encouraged her to push the envelope . thorne : deacon , it 's too extreme for this company . sally : what are you talking about ? it was not too extreme ! it was modern . it was rad . it had street cred . amber : you know , this is what people would wear to a club . deacon : wait a minute . this is what you told me you wanted . eric : you and i discussed hip , urban , edgy . but you took it way , way too far . look , deacon , as a subsidiary of forrester creations , there are certain standards that need to be adhered to . deacon : sharpe designs is going to set a new standard ! eric : well , you 're going to have to do it without my backing . i 'm sorry . i just ca n't put my resources into a project that i do n't believe in . deacon : okay , wait a second . were you , or were you not in the same room with me when i told you what i wanted to do ? you were all for it ! eric : it was a good idea . it just failed in the execution . deacon : no ! no , it did not ! stephanie , please . look , i understand -- this is n't your style . but , i mean , it 's not a complete disaster . stephanie : deacon , i can hear exactly what he 's saying . he just thinks you 've just taken it a little too far . amber : okay , so , we 'll make some adjustments . we 'll tone it down . deacon : no . sally : what do you mean ? that 's what you do . that 's why you have a preview before a show . deacon : no , sally ! are n't you listening ? ! there is n't going to be a showing , is there , eric ? amber : look , we had the right idea , we just got a little carried away . deacon : bull . no , no we did n't . you know what we got ? screwed . why do n't you have the guts to admit that it 's not the collection you have a problem with . it 's me ! and as long as i 'm around , this thing 's never going to succeed , is it ? stephanie : deacon -- honey , this is n't personal . deacon : stephanie , this does n't get more personal . this company is supposed to be my kid 's future . his legacy . look , if this is n't gon na work with me on board -- you know what , man ?

sally : yes , i did . but i am a risk taker . eric is n't . deacon : you know what ? i 'm gon na tell you what he is . he 's a hypocrite . he voted brooke out of the company for doing the same thing to him that he 's doing to us ! amber : okay . then go talk to him . tell him how you feel . maybe he 'll understand . deacon : oh , gosh . maybe if i bare my soul and ask him real nicely he 'll give us a second chance . forget that . sally : all right , leave it to me , will you ? leave it to me . i 'll deal with eric . he and i have always been very simpatico . deacon : sally , look -- you wan na go do something , that 's fine . just leave me out of it . amber : no ! you ca n't quit . this was your idea . deacon : do n't you get it ?

you have to forget about the paternity test . it 's not an issue . caitlin : so , what dr. paxson said about the computer problem -- jackie : there is no problem . caitlin : you told me that dr. paxon wanted to redo the test , but she did n't know if the results were right . jackie : well , i do know that the results are right . look , i know you 're worried about your friend . the child 's paternity has been very difficult for ridge and the children to accept . but there is no question about the test results . please understand , caitlin . whatever dr. paxon said , it was wrong ! there 's no doubt nicky is that baby 's father . | jackie arrived for breakfast very hung over . she mumbled something about having a dream . jackie showed up at work and heard thomas talking about his dad and brooke with caitlin . caitlin again tried to get jackie to tell the truth . deacon overhears them talking and finds out about the paternity test . |

[ brooke sighs ] brooke : i know that he regrets what happened . hector : and yet , from what you told me , you made it very clear to him about going there again with your daughter ? brooke : and he promised me he would n't . and that 's what really hurts the most . he knew how i felt , and he knew what was at stake . and , yet , he still did it . [ scene_break ] eric : this kiss never should have happened , ridge . ridge : dad , i had no idea we were being set up . eric : what does that have to do with anything ? my god , ridge , i was -- i was up in big bear when this happened the first time . i saw you and bridget , and i -- god , help me , i looked the other way . i swore to god i would never do that again . even if it means -- ridge : what ? believing amber over me ? that 's why she set this up , dad , so that you would and everyone else would think i crossed the line . eric : you did cross the line . ridge : oh , for god 's sake , we were freezing down there . the last thing on my mind -- where 'd you get this picture ? did you get it from amber ? stephanie : no . sally brought it to me . and she 's threatening to take it to the press . eric : sally ? stephanie : yes . clarke 's hands are n't clean in this whole thing either . ridge : what ? stephanie : yes . she 's very worried about her business , what 's gon na happen to it , especially if the top two people in her company get carted off to jail . eric : look , the only thing i care about right here is bridget , and how much she 's been hurt by this . god , ridge -- how could you be so reckless ? putting your marriage and -- putting your marriage and your family in jeopardy like this ? ridge : look , for the last time that is not what it looks like . eric : or so you say . that even though you know that you know that in your heart -- ridge : how do you know what 's in my heart ? none of you know what 's in my heart . i know what was in my heart when we were down there . it had nothing to do with lust or desire . it had everything to do with compassion . come on , dad , you saw bridget the next day in the hospital . you think i 'd take a life and death situation , and take advantage -- amber almost killed us down there . and everyone 's blaming me . well i 'm sick of it . sick of taking the rap for something that i was n't responsible for . i did n't do anything wrong . you guys are so willing to believe the worst . if you had that little faith in your son , then to hell with both of you ! [ scene_break ] brooke : i trusted ridge . i really did . but then this photo -- tell me it is n't passion , hector , tell me that ridge is really trying to just protect my daughter . tell me that , and i 'll feel better . just tell me that that 's all that 's going on in the picture . hector : brooke -- brooke : say it , hector . say that that 's all that 's going on . you ca n't . and i -- i was so specific about that . my concern was for my daughter . for my little girl . and ridge knew that . he knew that , and he still -- how could he do this ? how could he do this ? [ scene_break ] bridget : i do n't know what you 're thinking . but please , dot blame ridge . nick : do n't blame him ? he took advantage of you . god -- forrester . how unconscionable to know what you 've gone through , to know how hard you battled to get over your feelings for him , and -- and to be in the mineshaft -- you 're practically unconscious , you said -- bridget : nick , will you stop ? you 're doing exactly what amber was counting on all of us to do . blame ridge . nick : well , it 's not like he did n't have control over it , bridget . she did n't have a gun to his head . she did n't force him to kiss you , and she did n't force him to break his promise to your mother . bridget : i know , i know , but -- nick : it should 've never happened in the first place . you 're old man should have come down on him back then . but what makes this even worse is you 're not the only victim here . it 's you . it 's your mother . it 's the kids . do n't you see , it 's all the same pattern , and it ca n't happen again . [ scene_break ] eric : do n't you ever talk your mother and me like that again . ridge : oh , right . i 'm just supposed to thank you for believing amber over me . there was nothing sexual in that kiss . it 's not a violation , and it is not a betrayal . eric : that 's not how it looks , ridge . ridge : i do n't care how it looks . it 's how it is . eric : yeah , according to you . ridge : i was there . i was there . you were n't , you were n't , brooke was n't . stephanie : well , brooke must be pretty disgusted that she 'd actually throw you out of the house . ridge : she would n't have been that angry , mother , if it was n't for you . stephanie : oh , me ? ridge : yeah . you 're the one that started her thinking of all these things -- eric : do n't you put this -- ridge : all these ideas you had about me and bridget ! eric : do n't you put this on your mother ! the only reason all of this is happening is because of you ! that 's why we 're in this mess . ridge : right . and amber is just an innocent bystander . eric : you 're the person who 's been running roughshod over everybody these past few months -- over thorne , over thomas , over me ! there 's something wrong with you , ridge . there 's something very , very wrong with this . you stay away from my daughter . she 's been hurt enough by you . and so has brooke . which is why she kicked you out of your house . because she ca n't stand the sight of you . and neither can i . ridge : hmm ? [ scene_break ] bridget : it 's okay . it 's okay . i 'm okay . really . i just did n't want this to ruin what mom and ridge have together . nick : well , maybe forrester should have thought of that before . when he talks to you , you know , he touches you . he pets you . it 's been wrong since day one . bridget : i do n't think ridge looks at it that way . nick : well , no , why would he ? he 's above reproach . everybody looks at him as mr . integrity . but i 've seen what 's going on , with my old man , with your father -- thorne . everybody is starting to feel how his arrogance is growing . and i am so glad i made that promise to your mother . bridget : what promise ? nick : i promised if forrester ever hurt her again , that he 'd have me to answer to . and the same goes for you -- brooke , you , the family -- they all deserve better . you have been victimized ! and so has your mother . and so has the entire family . and somebody 's gon na call him on it ! bridget : yeah , well , mom 's already done that . nick : well , she should n't have to ! he should never put her in that position . this stops here . bridget : where are you going ? nick , wait -- nick ! [ scene_break ] hector : i know how much this hurts , brooke . i know because i 'm a man who raised a daughter alone , who realized from the very first moment i held her in my arms , that your child is your most precious jewel -- a jewel that has to be protected . even if it means -- brooke : i was hoping you 'd tell me i was being irrational . that i was lashing out because i was hurt . i want to hear that i 'm wrong , hector , that i should call ridge and have him come back . but still , if there 's a chance that he might be tempted -- i fell in love with him the first time i saw him , and i wanted to be his wife and to have his child . we went through hell and back to make that happen , but we did it . and now -- maybe it is the way that ridge says it is . and i pray to god it is . but still , it all -- it comes back around to my husband not doing the one thing i asked him to do , the one thing that he promised that he would n't do . hector : do n't beat yourself up over standing up to him , brooke . it 's about time somebody did . [ scene_break ] ridge : come on , sally . pick up the phone , i know you 're there . all right , you wan na play games ? i swear to you , you breathe one word of this to the tabloids , and i will make sure that you regret it for the rest of your life , you hear me ? nick : you are one sick bastard . ridge : like i care what you think , nick . nick : oh , of course you do n't care . you do n't care what anybody thinks . because it 's all about you . ridge : back off , nick . nick : not after what you pulled . ridge : spare me the lecture . nick : maybe you need a nice ass - kicking , forrester , because you 've had it coming for a long time . ridge : who the hell do you think you are -- nick : i know who i 'm not ! i 'm not an outsider anymore , forrester . these people have become family to me . and they mean a hell of a lot . and this noble , perfect man that they see -- well , that 's not what i see . i see somebody who has turned his back on his family , rejected the marone name -- you tried to bury your brother in competition , the man that raised you , you kicked him out of the family business -- or you tried to . but i sat back , did n't i ? i warned you , but i sat back and said i would n't get involved . you remember that ? ridge : yeah , that was a very smart move on your part -- nick : well , i was wrong ! i should have stepped up and said something . i should have forced you to take a look at yourself , and then maybe this would n't happen -- to brooke and her daughter . you know , forrester , you amaze me . brooke worships you . she worships the ground that you walk on . and bridget -- well , look there . that sweet , innocent little girl , bridget , who came back home because she was confused about her feelings from you , and all you needed to do was give it the space that it needed , and then this happens . but you never were very big on boundaries , were you , forrester ? that 's why brooke and bridget need protection from you . and i 'm gon na make sure that they get it . ridge : oh , get off it , nick . this is none of your business . stay out of it . nick : i 'm making it my business , forrester . you screwed up . brooke , bridget , eric , thorne , the kids -- that pedestal that they put you on for years is gone . and things have changed . you 're not in charge anymore , forrester . i 'm putting you on notice . from now on , whatever goes on with this family -- what 's best for the family -- you answer to me . | stephanie and eric confront ridge about the kiss between he and bridget . stephanie tells them both that sally has threatened to go to the tabloids with the picture if they try to take amber and clarke to court . ridge continues to plead his case , but even his parents are n't listening . eric warns him to stay away from bridget and storms out after telling ridge that he make him sick . alone , ridge grabs his head as if he has a really bad headache . bridget fills nick in on what has happened . nick totally blames ridge too and angrily confronts ridge at stephanie and eric 's house . he tells ridge that he will have to answer to him from now on when it comes to this family . brooke calls hector over to talk about her situation . she knows that hector is a good and moral man and begs him to tell her that she over reacted to the picture . hector does n't know the whole story though , and can not tell brooke what she wants to hear . |

( sighs ) oh , god . [ scene_break ] ridge : can you believe that ? stephanie : mm - hmm . ridge : he 's got the gall to accuse me of starting that fire , not that i would n't like to see him disappear in a puff of smoke . but to come into my home and point the finger at me -- i 'll bet he 's twisted that story enough to where brooke is starting to believe i actually did start that fire . stephanie : did you ? ( laughs ) i know you did n't . this is so typical of him , so machiavellian -- point the finger at you . i bet you $ 50 he started that fire himself . [ scene_break ] rick : well , it ca n't get any more dangerous . your father may already know about us . steffy : what ? how ? rick : he took a -- well , he took a trip over to the beach house last night . steffy : oh , my god . oh , my god . rick : yeah , and he claims to not have seen your car , so he turned around and came right back here . brooke : which i 'm certain is what happened . rick : it is not what happened , mom . i think that he got there , saw steffy , waited for her to leave , and then he torched my house . ( cell phone rings ) brooke : ( scoffs ) ( cell phone beeps ) lieutenant baker ... ( sighs ) thank goodness you got my message . so the fire at my son 's house -- did you find anything out ? lt . baker : well , it 's still very early in the investigation . brooke : yes , i understand that , but there was an attempt made on my son 's life . so what did you come up with ? any kind of theory ? lt . baker : well , from what i 've ascertained so far , it was n't premeditated . it was an act of passion and aggression . everything was there . someone drove by the house . for whatever reason , they decided to stop . they saw the can of lighter fluid , and because it was someone who was angry with rick , they wanted to send him a message or worse . it appears the suspect never went inside the house . uh , there are footprints around , but from what we can see so far , they either belong to rick or the maintenance people . brooke : what about the -- the fingerprints on the can ? lt . baker : well , the only clear fingerprints we found belong to your son . brooke : so you really have nothing ? lt . baker : well , like i said , it 's very early . anything else ? brooke : uh ... you said that maybe somebody drove by and acted on impulse ? lt . baker : well , that 's how i see it . do you have any idea who might have driven by your son 's home last night ? brooke : no , no . i just -- ( sighs ) uh , let me know when you find something out . lt . baker : i 'll let you know . ( cell phone beeps ) rick : any leads ? brooke : not yet . rick : so you did n't tell him about ridge 's little joyride over to my place last night ? steffy : rick , no ! my dad may have a problem with you , but he would never intentionally set a fire knowing you were inside . come on , you ca n't possibly believe he would do something like this . [ scene_break ] stephanie : rick did it . ridge : you really believe that ? stephanie : you mean that he 's capable of doing something like that ? absolutely . ridge : god , i ca n't stand that kid . stephanie : he 's such a con artist . you know , he 'll do anything he has to in order to break your relationship up with brooke . from what i understand , he -- he was awakened from a deep sleep , and the house was on fire . now that does n't sound like a setup to you ? this is a young man who will do anything -- anything to get what he wants , and right now , what he wants -- ridge : is my daughter . and i 'm the main obstacle . stephanie : yes . if he could get you out of the way , then steffy would need someone to lean on , and in would enter the hero -- rick . ridge : god , that 's so sick ! but very possible . stephanie : mm - hmm . ridge : that kid is very dangerous , mother . he is not gon na have my daughter . | ridge takes it pretty casually when brooke tells him that rick spent the night here at her house because his beach house was torched . it was arson ; someone tried to kill him . likewise rick wakes up and barks why is ridge still there after what he tried to do last night . both are saying the other has to go . ridge confesses that he would love to take credit , but someone else beat him to it . he would not have ridden his bike and then admitted to being at the scene of the crime . he walks out and tells brooke that rick needs to be gone when he returns . stephanie finds thorne passed out in the office with a bottle of liquor in his hand . the others , marcus and owen and donna soon join and all commiserate over what happened and could still happen again and the guilty could finish the job this time . |

[ sighs ] but eric thinks that taylor 's feelings for him are real . but i know she 's doing it to go after me and to rick because he 's president and to hope for stealing liam 's heart . and i 'm sure this is about stephanie , too . bill : because she wanted you to be in big bear with her and not taylor . brooke : she 's very angry with stephanie for dying in my arms , so i guess this is payback . she is sleeping with stephanie 's husband in stephanie 's bed , and it 's just so disrespectful . i tried to tell them that , but they did n't want to listen to me . they just told me to get out . it 's not right . it 's not fair to me and to my family and to stephanie . and i 'm not gon na let this happen . bill : all right . so , what are you going to do about it ? brooke : i am going to talk to eric , and this time , he 's going to listen to me . i 'm gon na make sure of it . i 'm not gon na allow him to make this huge mistake .

[ scene_break ] brooke : nobody can do more for hope than wyatt can . thorne : [ chuckles ] yeah , he 's quite the salesman . brooke : he feels very passionately about her line . and now that he 's here with her , i do n't think she needs my help with promotion . thorne : so go home and get married already . brooke : [ chuckles ] i 'll discuss it with hope . thorne : she 'll understand . if you want to leave right now , i can fill her in . brooke : no ! thorne : you know you want to . brooke : [ laughing ] yes , i do ! ridge and i should be on our honeymoon right now . i want to be with my husband . thorne : so , call the pilot and file a flight plan . brooke : [ sighs ] i just do n't know what hope has planned -- interviews , meetings . thorne : she and wyatt can handle them , okay ? you and ridge have a wedding to finish . brooke : ridge could pick me up from the airport . thorne : mm - hmm . brooke : and we could go down to the courthouse ... thorne : mm - hmm . an `` i do , `` a few signatures , and -- voilà -- you 're my sister- in - law ... again .

[ music stops ] katie : i love you , too . | ridge sits with katie in the park and says she asked him for one good reason . he meant it he loves her . no one wants anybody to be hurt but hope got brooke out of town so they have time to work on it . brooke tells thorne that aly was a little agitated over her concern for hope . thorne says as long as she is under control and she 's not as negative as she was at the meeting . is she still against wyatt ? brooke says she explained that hope is an adult and her choices are her own , not their business . she tells thorne that she gave aly the hotel key card and she is going to drop off a press package to hope and leave . but aly bursts into hope 's room and yells at her and wyatt . she keeps telling him to get off of hope and get out of here right now . liam would never treat her like this . hope tells her to calm down ; everyone is all right . she puts her robe on and tries to quiet aly by steering her into the living room and let wyatt stay in the bedroom . aly is agitated and keeps saying she can not believe this ; wyatt was in her bed . hope says he is in her room because he was invited . he is her boyfriend now . aly says wyatt wants everyone to know . he does not respect hope . hope tells aly that she has no idea where this is coming from , but she can not barge in here and start screaming . it 's inappropriate . aly says she is trying to help hope . hope tells her that she does n't need to ; everything is fine . and if she has problems with wyatt then she needs to get over it . aly is shocked and asks if this is how she wants people to see her now like all the other internet celebrities half naked , raunchy and vulgar . she has to think about how this looks . she 's supposed to be an example . she believes in her message . she started a hftf club in her school . people called her a nerd , but she thought it was important . now it seems it does n't matter to hope anymore . hope says yes it does matter but the focus on the line has changed some . aly says it is hope that had changed and all because of wyatt . he and his mother are not trustworthy ; they will do whatever they can to get what they want . they ruined liam 's life and they will ruin hope 's too . they do n't care what they have to do or how low they have to stoop . |

[ sighs ] brooke : but you 're with quinn now . and you want me to understand that . deacon : yes . brooke : i think you should be having this conversation with her . i think she 's feeling a little insecure right now . deacon : what -- what does that mean ? brooke : you 've hooked up with a whackjob , deacon . quinn came over here and she slapped me . wyatt : so , where 's deacon wyatt : so , where 's deacon right now ? quinn : i do n't know . you do n't think he went to brooke 's , do you ? wyatt : not necessarily . but he could run into her . that 's how this whole thing started in the first place , right ? quinn : well , she would have nothing to tell him because i already apologized . wyatt : mom ! you slapped brooke in her own home ! she already does n't like you ! she thinks you ruined her daughter 's life ! so she has no reason to protect you but every reason to blow up what eensy - beensy , tiny , little piece of happiness that you may have already . i 'm sorry . it 's just not gon na cut it . you should n't have been there in the first place ! quinn : okay ! all right ! stop yelling at me ! you know i have poor impulse control , but i am working on it ! wyatt : good for you ! quinn : it was one incident ! wyatt : you know what ? you better hope your boyfriend sees it that way . quinn : [ groans ] [ door closes ] deacon : quinn slapped you ? brooke : right here . deacon : what happened ? brooke : a little while after you left , the doorbell rang , and imagine my surprise when i answered it and quinn was standing there . she came in , and i asked her what she was doing here , and she said , `` do n't play dumb with me . `` and then she hauled off and slapped me . deacon : [ sighs ] brooke : your girl packs quite a wallop . i fell right to the floor . deacon : i - i - i ca n't believe this . brooke : yeah , well , it 's true . and then she told me to stay away from you . deacon : [ sighs ] brooke : what 's strange , though , is i thought she was gon na hit me again , but she ended up apologizing . and it made the whole thing even more creepy . you know what , deacon ? you 're a romantic at heart . i know because i 've been on the receiving end . most people do n't know that about you . but you idealize women , the women you 're involved with , and you 're doing that now with quinn . i 'd be careful , if i were you . you do n't know the amount of her craziness . you really need to understand the woman that you 're getting involved with before you 're in too deep and you ca n't get out . [ door closes ] ridge : i know you do n't approve of my relationship with caroline . steffy : it 's inappropriate ! my god ! ridge : i 'm not even sure what that means . steffy : she 's my age , dad ! ridge : i know how old she is ! she 's a grown woman , and just like you , she makes grown - up decisions ! steffy : look , i 'm sorry . it just bothers me that you 're involved with someone my age . w - what ? is -- is she married to rick ? is she not married to rick ? ridge : i heard you ! and i accept it . and i 'm sorry that my relationship makes you feel uncomfortable , but i do n't know what to do about it .

[ sighs ] what are you still doing here ? i told you to go ! what ? deacon : look . you 're nuts . you drive me nuts . but god help me . i want to marry you . | brooke opens the door to deacon . he says they need to talk about what happened . he asks if she remembers the kiss . she says yes , she does not black out when she drinks . she knows he kissed her and she did not pull away because it happened so quickly and with no notice . deacon tells brooke that she will always have a little piece of his heart but he 's with quinn now . he is committed to her . brooke says he really needs to be telling this to quinn as she seems a little insecure right now . she tells him about the slap . she warns deacon that he better think long and hard before he gets in too deep with quinn and her craziness . wyatt goes to quinn 's at her request . she says she needed him as she needed to talk to someone who knows how she is wired . pointblank he asks what did she do now . he 's appalled when she admits she slapped brooke . she rants that she was upset . deacon had driven brooke home and before you know it she was parading around in her bathing suit , yet she did not want a swim party . everybody knows she is a man predator and she wanted him in her bed . he quips then she must have been defending poor helpless deacon 's honor . she fires back that brooke already stole bill away from her and she was not going to let her do the same with deacon . she admits the slap went a little too far and she is only afraid what will happen when deacon finds out . wyatt says she wo n't have to tell him as brooke will be only too happy to do that . quinn bellows at wyatt to stop yelling at her . she knows she has some anger control problems but she is working on that . and this was only one incident . wyatt says good ; he only hopes her boyfriend sees it that way . |

[ door opens ] katie : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] katie : [ sobbing ] [ sighs ] [ sobbing quietly ] | bill assures katie that he is not tired of her for acting like this . he does not want to lose her again so he wants her to get better . she promises she will not let that happen . she says she does have hormones flowing through her body and he has to know she can not just forget what happened with brooke although she is trying to forgive them . brooke still has those feelings . brooke admits to rick that katie overheard her say something to bill and she can not shake that . rick does not think she has done anything wrong . she says bill has been stubborn but in a good way . bill tells katie that he will say it as gently as he can . this is more like the post partum year and the meds are not doing her any good or her going off of them either . she says everything is fine .reminding him that he drinks and ignored her when she nagged , so he should lighten up now . he excuses himself to go to justin 's and is taking will with him . katie finds that offensive . sasha is all over zende but he stops and says someone could get hurt . she says okay she will go if he wants her to . she does not mind being turned down , but not to accept responsibility that it is her fault . katie goes back to drinking and calls brooke to come over . when brooke finds out why she wants to scold her she starts walking away and katie warns her not to turn away while she is talking . katie continues that is brooke 's history . that is how it starts . she tries to make katie think it is her paranoia . that is not going to happen this time . she is not going to turn her life over to brooke even if she has to make a holy spectacle of herself . she tells brooke not to lecture her on alcohol . brooke tells her what she thinks is happening is not happening at all . katie says bill is not running to brooke ; he is just running away right now from katie . she will die first before she lets him go to brooke . |

[ laughs ] hope : wow . [ laughs ] hey , hope ! hey . katie : hi ! hope : hi . katie : um , how long is the wait ? danny : a while , but , for you two ... oh , are liam and thorne joining you ? katie : uh , no . nope , just us girls . danny : okay , i have room for two at the bar , if you do n't mind me being your server . katie : okay , cool . thanks . thank you . perfect . hope : thank you . katie : so , apparently the news of the demise of my marriage has not reached the models yet . hope : you gon na be okay ? katie : are you kidding ? this place is full of hot guys , and i 'm single . i 'll be fine . hope : thank you . katie : for what ? hope : as much as , uh , you can pretend that you 're here to scope out the hot guys , i think i know better what you 're doing . katie : i 'm just trying to be a good aunt . your mom told me what you did , tried to reunite liam and steffy . hope : well , it feels right . you know , phoebe and kelly , they -- they deserve to have a father there . katie : you have a big , beautiful heart . it 's okay to be a little bit selfish right now . you have to think about what you need and lean on your friends and your family , and , most of all , your husband . do n't push him away . hope : what i need ... she 's gone . my baby is gone . liam : i was able to talk her down off the ledge , but ... it was n't easy . i mean , hope got this thing in her head , like , manically , that she had to reunite me with steffy . wyatt : for the children ? liam : yeah . everything 's about the children . kelly and phoebe , that 's all she cares about . wyatt : so , sacrificing her own happiness for the girls . liam : i just hope that she understands now why that 's not necessary . wyatt : do you , though ? like , listen , i 'm just asking . like , deep down , do you -- do you know that , or does part of you think that she might be right ? hope 's suggestion , like , getting back together with steffy . have you given it any thought ? ridge : so hope took off her ring , and she thought that liam was gon na come right back to you . steffy : she 's grieving , dad , not thinking clearly . luckily , liam was able to calm her down , got her to put her ring back on . you know , i just -- i feel for her . ridge : we all feel for her , but ... you 're my daughter , you 're my first concern . let me ask you this , when -- when she brought this up , was there a part of you that thought , `` yes , this would be a great idea , liam coming back to me . `` xander : [ american accent ] the thing is , like , we 've got options when it comes to this challenge . we do n't have to do the typical generic newscaster accent , right ? like ... [ southern accent ] i could pretend i 'm from texas , and ... you could pretend like you 're from , uh ... boston ! wicked awesome , right ? you 're , uh -- you 're not listening to me , are you ? zoe : [ sighs ] is there a vegas accent ? xander : that 's actually pretty good . um , no . no , i do n't think so . zoe : well , that 's where she 's from . xder : she ? she who ? o her earlier . xander : not a pleasant meeting , i take it . zoe : [ scoffs ] i do n't know . i mean , is it pleasant to tell someone to leave town ? hope : i 'm thankful that i got to hold beth , but when i think back on that night in catalina , holding her ... i mean , as beautiful as she was ... it 's just -- it did n't feel like her . i mean , this -- this is -- this is her . this is my baby . when she was inside of me . alive . that 's why i treasure this so much . katie : i 'm glad you have that with you , hope . it 's a lovely way to keep your baby close . flo : you switched the babies ? what is the name of the mother of the baby in there ? reese : her name is hope . wyatt : liam . as active as you are in your daughter 's life , like , you 're not exactly full - time with her , and i know that does n't sit well with you . liam : no , of course it doesn't . i mean , i -- it kills me to be away from kelly , but i 'm not married to her mother anymore . i 'm married to hope , and i need to be there for my wife . wyatt : no , definitely . i agree , but ... like , if hope 's asking you to leave , right ? if she 's asking you to go be with the woman who , i think , obviously still wants to make a life with you , whether she wants to admit it to herself or not ... you know , okay , look -- i know i 'm not -- i do n't have a right to an opinion in this whole thing after everything that happened with dad duping me into the lie ... liam : yeah , yeah , all right , okay , but you obviously have an opinion , so ... so , what are you trying to say ? do you -- do you think hope is right ? wyatt : [ sighs ] ridge : talk to me . part of you must have wanted liam to come back , to say yes , and to raise these kids with you . steffy : i do n't want liam to end his marriage . not like this . hope and liam grieving the loss of their child ... yeah , like , do i wish things were different ? do i wish that liam and i were married and we were raising kelly together ? sure . but that 's not the case . and if liam were here , then ... i would n't have phoebe . my daughter . i love her so much , as if i gave birth to her myself . xander : [ british accent ] you told flo to leave los angeles ? & zoe : ha ! you slipped first . uh - huh . and , yes , i did . xander : you know , why does she even both -- [ american accent ] bother you ? i mean , she 's not even around your dad anymore . zoe : yeah , it 's , uh , not my dad that i 'm worried about . xander : is it steffy ? you think flo could cause problems , change her mind about the adoption ? she signed the papers . that baby is legally steffy 's . zoe : yeah , thanks to my father . xander : try not to worry , okay ? flo made a choice . it seems like the right one , and ... if she 's having regrets ... well , there 's not really much she can do about it now . flo : hey , danny . danny : yeah ? flo : can you help that guy over there ? i 'm working on this huge order for table 6 . danny : i 'm on it . flo : thank you . katie : that 's all anybody can expect . hope : part of what makes it so difficult to accept is that i missed her birth . you know , i keep thinking if i had stayed awake , if i had ... been able to just push one more time , then maybe ... i do n't know . katie : but you know that this is not your fault . you did everything you could . your body was exhausted . you had pushed it to the breaking point . hope : i know , and dr . buckingham did everything he could , but -- [ glass shatters ] katie : [ gasps ] hope : are you okay ? wyatt : i 'm not -- i 'm not suggesting anything . liam : yes , you are ! yes , you are , you 're -- you 're suggesting that i leave hope and go back to steffy . wyatt : no , no . i 'm saying that i think you should , like , think about what 's best for you . and your daughter . not just you , but your daughter and her new little sister . liam : but i -- i do n't know what to do . obviously i want to spend as much time with kelly as possible , and ... wyatt : right . liam : and if i 'm being honest , phoebe , too . i know -- i know i 'm not , like , her father , but ... i do n't know , there 's something special about her , and this is -- this is what hope keeps talking about . there is a connection there , and i feel it , too . wyatt : yeah , i mean , that makes total sense . losing beth , the association and everything ... liam : i do n't know , man . phoebe being in the picture , it 's just -- it 's affecting all of us , and whatever role i end up playing with her , whether it 's father or something else ... i 'm really grateful . i 'm really grateful she 's in our lives . steffy : she 's sleeping right now . ridge : aww . steffy : but i 'm gon na make her a bottle just in case . do you mind holding her ? ridge : okay . no ! steffy : there you go . ridge : oh , my goodness . come here . steffy : look at her ! ridge : oh , my goodness . steffy : thank you . thank you so much . ridge : hi . steffy : it 's nice to have an extra set of hands around here . ridge : hi . anytime . [ giggles ] can i ask you a bit of a stupid question ? did the birth mother look like you ? steffy : no , why ? ridge : i do n't know , i 'm just looking at this little monkey right now , and ... from this angle , she kind of looks like kelly . steffy : yeah , i know what you mean . it 's funny how the mind can play tricks on you . ridge : hey . steffy : i do n't mind if she ends up looking like the birth mom . she was really pretty . i think about her a lot and the courage she had to give up her baby . i hope she 's happy and comfortable with her decision . ridge : look at the gift she gave this little girl . she gets to be your daughter . i know ! steffy : yeah . kelly and i are the ones with the gift . a beautiful forever gift . [ giggles ] hope : are you okay ? flo : yeah , yeah , i 'm just -- it 's just pretty embarrassing . danny : it 's fine . it happens to the best of us . you sweep , and i 'll finish your order , all right ? flo : thank you . katie : so , you were saying about dr . buckingham ? hope : um , i mean , just that even though he did everything he could , under the circumstances , i wonder if things would be different if , i do n't know , i 'd stayed awake or my body had n't given out . katie : there 's nothing you could have done . hope . a mother 's love is powerful , but it ca n't bring something back to life . hope : no , i know . i know that deep down inside , i just -- i guess it 's hard for me to comprehend . all i do know is that i would give anything to have my daughter back . anything . [ cellphone rings ] katie : oh , it looks like i 'm gon na have to pick up will sooner than i thought . hope : oh , it 's okay . no worries . katie : you know what , i 'll -- i 'll text bill and see if he can do it . hope : no . no , no , no . really . i 'll be fine , i 'll just -- i 'll finish my drink and i 'll head out soon after , okay ? katie : okay , let me give you some money . hope : no , no . no , put your wallet away . your money is good here . katie : i invited you . hope : mm , you 'll treat next time , okay ? see , this is good . going out again , back into the world ... katie : it is good . i love you . hope : i love you , too . bye . um , excuse me . could i pay my bill ? flo : sure . yeah . hope : thanks . flo : hope ? hope : yeah . flo : you do n't know me , but , um ... my name is flo . i 'm flo fulton . i could n't help but overhear some of what you were saying , and i just wanted to tell you that ... i 'm sorry . i 'm really , really sorry . hope : i 'm sorry , can i just pay my bill ? i really have to go . flo : of course . yeah . i just -- you know , i , um ... before you go , there 's -- there 's something else . there 's something that i need to tell you . | ridge shows up in the nick of time to give steffy a hand with the girls . zoe goes to the bikini bar and tells flo that she needs to get out of los angeles . flo reminds her she did nothing wrong ; she was dragged into this . what they do not notice is hope is sitting at a seat waiting for katie to treat her to a little time out . liam fills wyatt in on this and thinks it will be a good thing for hope . she is still on that kick that she gifts liam to steffy and the girls . that is all she thinks about . liam does admit he does not want to spend all his time with kelly as he is not married to her mother anymore . he wants to be with hope . he tries to pin wyatt down if he thinks hope is correct as that is what it sounds like to him . wyatt says no , he just thinks he needs to think about all of them . whatever happens liam says he is grateful that phoebe is in their lives . |
steffy : daddy 's a little quiet today . liam : oh ... yeah . sorry . steffy : no . it 's ... it 's nice . [ kelly coos ] not every visit has to be wild and crazy . liam : no , i -- you know , i ... it 's nice to just ... watch them . steffy : yeah . liam : and these moments are really special , and i do n't get enough of them , so ... i 'm not saying -- hope has been really generous . it 's just , no matter how much she lets me see beth , it 's -- it 's ... not the same . steffy : not the same as living with them . liam : no . but who am i kidding ? if the roles were reversed , i 'd probably be complaining about not seeing kelly enough here , so , you know . steffy : yeah . yeah . i get it . it 's hard being apart from hope and beth . i wanted to believe it was gon na get better , but ... kelly : ohh ! steffy : it hasn't . liam : ohh . a got a toothbrush for you . douglas : i do n't want this . i do n't want it . thomas : come on , douglas . you 're gon na hurt zoe 's feelings . hope : he does n't have a problem with zoe . he just thought he 'd have more time to get to know her before the wedding . thomas : yeah , okay . well , you know what ? we 're gon na be married in -- in a day or so , and we 'll get to know each other then . hope : a day or so ? thomas : yeah . i mean , i 'd do it today if i could . douglas : no , mommy ! you ca n't let them ! hope : it 's okay , sweetie . it 's okay . zoe : thomas , if you and douglas need some time , i can -- thomas : uh , he 's just -- he 's a little surprised . look , douglas , i 'm sorry . i should n't have blurted it out like that . okay ? hey , i 'm just really excited to marry zoe , and once i do , we 're gon na have this adventure , you know ? the three of us . now , things are gon na happen really quickly , but once they do , i promise you 're gon na have a real family again . douglas : no ! steffy : you do n't have to hide your feelings for me . i can see what the separation is doing to you . liam : [ chuckles ] yeah , but i 'm not gon na complain to you about it . steffy : it would serve me right . liam : no , it wouldn't . steffy : i know you do n't blame me for what happened . liam : yeah , obviously , but i do n't want you to blame yourself , either . thomas : now listen . i will call your phone when hope 's watching . you know what to do , stef . [ clatter ] steffy : ohh . douglas : i already have a mommy . hope is my mommy . hope : douglas , i know this is a big , sudden change , but that does n't mean that it changes everything . zoe : i 'm really nervous about all this , too . douglas : you are ? zoe : yeah . thomas : yeah . yeah . you know , zoe 's never been anybody 's mommy before . zoe : yeah , but , you know , i 'm really excited about it . and i think if you can help me , we can make this really fun . thomas : yeah . and weddings are -- are a lot of fun . remember ? and you 're kind of a pro at them . plus , he looks pretty great in a tux . come on , douglas . you got to give it a chance . hope : you 're really not giving him time to do that . sweetheart , do you want to go grab a snack ? okay . let 's go . thomas : uh , i , uh , i 'm telling you , it 's gon na be fine . when our daughter and her kids moved in with us ... steffy : and now we 'll go over here , and we 'll go over here , and then i spin you . [ kelly fusses ] oh , you do n't want to ? okay , you want your toys . liam : of course she wants the toys . she always wants the toys . we 're chopped liver . steffy : oh . [ laughs ] liam : oh , okay . fine . i guess i should , um , get this one home . steffy : you think hope will ever let her spend the night ? liam : you were her mom for months . you should n't even have to ask that question , but , because of me , i think that 's , um , a little much to ask right now , given everything . [ beth fusses ] oh , here you go . steffy : yeah . i have to think that ... hope and i will work through what happened eventually . it 's just , uh , you know , it 's just not gon na be easy , given everything . the kiss brought up for her -- my life is broken right now . s , i will find it , and , um ... and i love the girls with you . liam : yeah . steffy : even though it 's not exactly how you want it to be , but ... liam : [ chuckles ] yeah . yeah , well , things have n't been exactly the way i want them to be since thomas signed those custody papers . that 's another thing i keep thinking about is -- is just how different things would have been for hope and me when we got beth back if -- if it were n't for your brother . sorry . steffy : [ sighs ] you are n't wrong . thomas caused chaos in all of our lives , the way he manipulates people and undermines their behavior . but i do n't want you to think that he 's ruined everything . i know that you 're sad and frustrated right now , but do n't let those feelings overwhelm you . do n't let them take away from the good things in your life , like these precious angels , their love for you and yours for them . that ca n't be corrupted . their love is pure and true . and that 's something to hold on to when everything else is a mess . promise me you wo n't lose sight of that . never forget how much we love you . [ beth coos ] liam : ohh . [ chuckles ] oh , thank you . thomas : okay , this -- this is not gon na blow up in my face . why would you say that ? vinny : proposing to zoe was n't crazy enough . now you 're rushing ahead with the wedding ? i mean , i just did n't think you 'd go through with it , man . thomas : okay , vin , you would n't be so skeptical if you saw the way that hope and douglas reacted . vinny : you told them ? thomas : yes . i told them , and they totally freaked . well , hope held it together for zoe 's sake , but douglas , he was not happy . vinny : douglas is your kid . thomas : yes . douglas is my kid , and i 'm trying to give him the life and the family that he wants , okay ? and -- and this plan 's coming together perfectly , so i do n't appreciate you trashing it . and if you 're just calling to lecture me ... vinny : i 'm just trying to talk you off the ledge , man . it 's not too late to go another way . zoe : aw , thanks , charlotte . thomas : i got to go . vinny : dude , wait . just -- zoe : hey . thomas : hey . zoe : did , uh , douglas come back ? thomas : um , no . not yet . but he 's gon na be fine . zoe : he looked really upset , thomas . thomas : yeah , but not with you . zoe : i mean , it kind of felt like he was . thomas : look , douglas has been through a lot , okay ? it makes sense that he 's afraid of change , even when it 's good for him . zoe : yeah , but , you know , if he 's not ready , then -- thomas : no . i 'm ready . okay ? and i -- i see everything i want right in front of me . and i want it now . here . i want to show you something . zoe : wow . thomas , these are beautiful . but why are there two ? thomas : oh , well , one is for hope for the future . the other is for my beautiful bride . zoe : [ chuckles ] well , they 're gorgeous . they actually make me want to get married twice . thomas : oh . zoe : thank you . thomas : you 're welcome . hope : douglas is in tears right now with donna , but please do n't let that interfere with your celebration . thomas : i thought you were calming him down . hope : he would n't need to be calmed down , thomas , if you had n't dropped that bomb on him like you did . i mean , what were you thinking ? thomas : look , we all knew douglas would be a little disappointed , and we all know why . hope : he 's scared , thomas . thomas : well , the sooner we get married , the sooner he 'll realize there 's nothing to be scared of . hope : it is the way you did it . what about that do you not understand ? thomas : all right , look , i 'm a little excited . i want to go ahead and marry this beautiful woman , okay ? i want to see her coming down the aisle in this dress . hope : what 's the other one for ? thomas : that 's for you . what do you think about making it the hope for the future showstopper ? hope : frankly , i do n't want to talk about work right now because i am worried about your son , and i can not believe [ phone jangles ] that you are not worried about him . zoe : i 'm so sorry . i want to be here to help douglas , but they do need me across the hall . thomas : it 's -- it 's fine . everything 's gon na be okay . we 're getting married . zoe : [ chuckles ] we 're getting married . hope : what happened to communication , establishing boundaries , making it clear to douglas that he 's not going to get lost in all of this , that i 'm still going to be his mother ? thomas : yes . but once zoe and i are married , she will be the one he spends more of his time with . we 'll be his parents , hope . you do understand that , right ? for most patients that have zoe : so does n't your assistant usually help you with these release forms ? carter : uh , yeah . i , uh , i wanted to congratulate you on your engagement . zoe : well , thank you , carter . carter : i was shocked when ridge told me how it happened . i still ca n't quite believe it . zoe : uh , yeah . to tell you the truth , neither can i . it 's still so surreal . carter : mm - hmm . zoe : [ chuckles ] i mean , i 'm going to be a forrester . carter : an amazing family . you 'll fit right in . zoe : i just wish the idea of it did n't upset douglas so much . carter : he just needs more time , that 's all . things will be great by the time you and thomas get married . zoe : yeah , but that 's actually what set douglas off . thomas , he , uh , does n't want to wait . he wants to get married right away . hope : you 're asking me to take a step back ? i love douglas . douglas loves me . i 'm legally his mother . thomas : i realize that , okay ? i am not minimizing your importance in his life . but , hope , things are going to change . hope : what i 'm not understanding is why everything is changing so quickly . thomas : you do n't understand why i 'm anxious to get on with my life ? hope : no , i do . but , thomas , douglas needs -- thomas : douglas is going to be fine , okay ? like i told zoe , it 's like ripping off a bandage . okay ? after it happens , douglas will forget why he was all upset in the first place . look , i know what my son wants , and i would love to honor his wishes , but ... you are n't willing to make a life with us , hope . steffy : what 's going on ? thomas : douglas is having a tough time with my marriage to zoe . steffy : you 're not married yet . hope : oh , but they 're going to be , and as soon as possible , in fact . douglas was pretty upset when he found out . steffy : where 's douglas now ? hope : he 's with donna . steffy : you should probably go check on him . hope : yeah , i think i should . steffy : really , thomas ? a quickie wedding ? thomas : look , stef , i have waited long enough . i need to make this happen now . steffy : make what happen ? a future with zoe or a future with hope ? ok everyone ! steffy : i did n't want to believe it . i 've been trying to give you the benefit of the doubt . thomas : you still have n't forgiven me . that -- that 's what this is about . steffy : no . do you know how guilty i feel ? it has been killing me every day since liam and i kissed . i thought you were thinking about kelly . thomas : okay , that 's -- steffy : i thought you were thinking about my family . thomas : that 's what you need to do . you need to be thinking about kelly and what she needs . steffy : i was just with liam . it 's killing him to be apart from hope and beth . thomas : 'cause liam 's an idiot . he 's blind to what 's right in front of him , okay ? look , if you play this right , liam and hope , they 'll never be together again . okay ? you can have him . steffy : and you can have hope . wow . liam and brooke have been right all along . that 's what you wanted from the very beginning . so what are you gon na do , hmm ? are you gon na push douglas until he begs hope to stop the wedding ? and then what ? how 's she gon na do that ? is she gon na marry you instead ? is that what you 're hoping for ? [ footsteps ] liam : hey . you know you can still talk to me , right ? like , i can see that you 're upset about something . douglas , too , actually . hope : i just -- i thought seeing beth would make him feel better . you know how much douglas likes reading to her . liam : yeah , well , there 's a big old stack of books in there , so he must be pretty darn upset . hope : yeah , well , thomas dropped one hell of a bomb on us at the office . liam : about what ? hope : his wedding to zoe and how they are now getting married right away . liam : by right away , you mean ... hope : as in right away , right away . and douglas is n't at all ready for this yet . i mean , he 's already traumatized , and now thomas is talking about how it 's going to be what 's best for everyone , it 's just like ripping off a bandage , and i just am so ... i just do n't understand why thomas keeps doing this to his son . liam : because upsetting douglas upsets you . thomas does n't want to marry zoe right away . he probably does n't even want to marry her at all . what he wants is a reaction from you , and clearly it 's working . he is terrorizing his son into begging you -- begging you to marry his father before zoe does . hope : that 's crazy . liam : yeah . yeah , hope . it 's crazy . it 's very crazy . i just need you to recognize that . hope : i am not naive , liam . i am -- i have been watchful of thomas and his motives , and ... i do believe that he cares about zoe . i just do n't understand why they have to rush into this marriage . [ sighs ] and now he 's -- he 's starting to talk about how i need to take a step back so that douglas can spend time with zoe and bond with her , and it 's just -- it 's really just starting to feel like thomas is beginning to rip douglas away from me . liam : oh , w ... well , yeah , duh . that 's the whole point . that 's what he wants you to think . i mean , this is clearly all part of the plan . everything thomas has done , he 's done in order to get you in this exact emotional space that you 're in right now -- desperate , anxious . this is -- this is how he got you to marry him the first time , and nothing has changed . he wants to make you his . he 's willing to manipulate whoever it takes to make that happen . do n't let him get away with it . thomas : you are reading way too much into this . steffy : what , you think i 'm seeing things that are n't there ? like , what 's this ? two wedding gowns ? thomas : that 's work . steffy : work ? thomas : i mean , one is , and the other is for zoe . look , a wedding gown showstopper , this is a forrester family tradition , and i want hope for the future to be a part of that . steffy : that excuse may work on dad but not on me . i wanted to believe that this marriage to zoe was n't a trick , but after this , what i walked in on -- you taunting hope . thomas : i was n't taunting hope . steffy : yes , you were , just like you provoked me that day on the phone . admit it , thomas . you 're hoping the real showstopper will be hope wearing this gown to marry you . | beth is visiting liam , kelly and steffy at the beach house . steffy notices how quiet liam is . he 's just enjoying beth , having missed her ( and hope ) . steffy admits that it 's been hard on her , too , not having beth live with her . as they play with the girls , steffy wonders if hope will ever let beth spend the night . liam says that probably will happen eventually . steffy knows that hope is still mad about the kiss . they talk about how thomas is to blame for so much of their problems . at forrester , hope explains to thomas in an exasperated manner why douglas is so upset after thomas just told them that he 's going to marry zoe right away . douglas keeps protesting , just as thomas wants him to . zoe looks embarrassed . zoe chimes in as thomas tries to convince douglas . hope takes douglas to get a snack , chiding thomas for what he 's doing to his son . later , thomas and vinny chat on the phone again . vinny points out again what thomas his kid . thomas does n't appreciate his lecturing . vinny is just trying to get him to see that maybe he 's not going about this the right way . zoe returns , so thomas hangs up . zoe is worried about how upset douglas was , but thomas waves off her worries , as usual . he shows her two beautiful dresses he made . one is for her , and one is for hope for the future . hope returns and yells at thomas for upsetting douglas . he shows her the gowns asks if the one can be the showstopper for her line . hope can only concentrate right now how upset douglas is . zoe gets called away for work . thomas reminds hope that he and zoe are going to be douglas ' parents , putting more pressure on her . hope does n't understand why they have to move so quickly . thomas says that douglas will be fine and reminds her once again that she is n't willing to make a life with him . |

[ scene_break ] stephanie : i need to talk to you . nick : i only talk in the morning . stephanie : watching you and taylor at the hospital the other night , it was very apparent to me that your relationship with her has changed . nick : well , almost getting killed can have that effect . stephanie : nick , she 's not your kind of woman . nick : oh , god . see yourself out . stephanie : brooke 's your kind of girl , is n't she ? nick : brooke ? stephanie : yeah , i think her relationship with ridge is about to blow up . nick : is it ? and you would n't have anything to do with lighting that fuse , would you ? stephanie : i know how you feel about her . you 're still in love with her . nick : you do n't care about me or how i feel . this is somehow about you . you turned on her , did n't you ? you turned on her just like i said you would . god , i need a drink . stephanie : i do n't think they 're going to get married . nick : i knew the whole , `` welcome to the family , brooke `` routine would n't last . stephanie : well , she 's brought this all on herself , as usual . nick : god , you really do borderline on insanity , you know that ? stephanie : when it falls apart , she 's going to need someone to comfort her . do n't you want to be the one ?

[ laughter ] rick : i actually like that . ridge : you know , if this gave us an edge on forrester creations , i 'm all for it . they 're not working on something like this , are they ? rick : no , i was doing the research all on my own . and i was planning on pitching it to dad when i arrived back in l.a . ridge : this is worth taking a look at . felicia : do you think it 's possible to come up with a fragrance in time for the opening ? brooke : i 'll call some people . felicia : rick , i know it 's short notice , but it 'd be great if we could mention something about it in your interview . phoebe : oh , my -- i completely forgot about that . ridge : forgot about what ? felicia : rick and phoebe have a press thing next week . rick : yeah , do you think maybe you could handle the p.r . for that ? felicia : i think that 's a really good idea .

( scoffs ) you know , actually , the good news is , is that the poison is also the remedy . booze started this whole thing , and booze is what 's gon na make it go away . rick : taylor , i know things seem dark right now , but there is a light , and we 're gon na find it together . taylor : you ca n't help me . you ca n't fix this . rick : well , who can ? steffy ? no , she 's studying at school . thomas ca n't help you . he 's working over in europe , but i know -- i know phoebe 's here , and she wants to help you , but , taylor , you need someone who knows what you need ... taylor : what i need -- rick : and somebody older , somebody stronger . taylor : no , what i need is a drink . that is the only thing that 's going to help me right now . rick : look , i understand that you 're -- you 're -- taylor : no , you do n't understand anything ! how can you possibly know what it 's like to lose a child ? you have no idea ! i have lost everything -- everything . i do n't have anything left to live for . i wan na make it stop ! rick : j - jus -- gi -- taylor : ( grunts ) rick : give it !

marcus : yeah , mr. big shot just pulled up . ridge : so rick 's coming in , even though the fire was last night . brooke : he wants to be here for the meeting . thorne : well , he should stay home and recover , 'cause we can damn sure run this company without him . katie : ( sighs ) donna : well , he 's okay , right ? brooke : he 's ...

( door opens ) katie : ( sighs ) rick , thank god you 're okay . donna : oh , my god , you could have been killed . rick : but i was n't . you try waking up to a blazing inferno and all that smoke . it 's situations like that that make you realize what 's truly important in your life . for me , that 's family . that tops the list , which is why i am here today , despite almost being burned alive last night . i have responsibilities to this company and my family . brooke : i 'm glad you could be here . i called this meeting today to let you know that lieutenant baker is doing an investigation on the fire at rick 's house . it appears it was arson . katie : they think it was intentional ? brooke : yes . an attempt was made on my son 's life last night . rick : ( sighs ) brooke : now i want you all to keep your eyes and your ears open . i know rick is controversial , but the person who tried to kill him might be right here at forrester creations . ridge : right , then . we 're all very worried about little ricky , are n't we ? okay , but unfortunately , we have a company to run . when dad 's away , the mice do play . now , brooke has announced that we 're having the new line debut a lot sooner than expected . it was n't really the intended purpose of the press conference , but so be it . enough chitchat . now we all have to put in 110 % if we 're gon na get the new deadline going , okay ? i suggest we all get to it . katie : okay . rick : before everybody gets to work , since i am staying on as president of forrester creations , i made a few additional decisions . first order of business -- the forrester surf line . unfortunately , it did not do as well as we expected . pam , we know your crochet bikini was hot for , you know , a short amount of time , but , uh , your services will no longer be needed . owen , same goes for you . pam : what , you -- you 're firing me ? you have no right to do that . rick : pam , look , i 'm sorry . the fashion business is a cutthroat business . in the meantime , we have to slash prices on the merchandise , so we can get it off the shelves , all right ? owen : so what are we gon na do , rick ? are we gon na just have a fire sale ? you know , i love it how you take all the credit for the surf line when it 's good and it 's great , and then when things get tough , you bail . i just guess that 's how ricky rolls , right ? [ scene_break ] taylor : rick 's house caught on fire ? steffy : last night after i left . but rick 's fine . i went there in the morning to see him , and i ran into lieutenant baker . he said the fire was set on purpose . someone tried to kill rick . taylor : well -- well , i 'm glad that rick is okay , but , sweetheart , you should n't even have -- have been there . steffy : mom -- taylor : you should not have been there alone with him . ( sighs ) all right , i -- i 'm gon na ask you something , and i want the truth right now . have you and rick slept together ? steffy : ( sighs ) taylor : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] stephanie : hi , honey . uh , i , um , had asked , uh , detective baker and lieutenant baker ... ( door closes ) stephanie : to come by . uh , what i was about to say is that ridge and i have done a lot of thinking about this fire , and we have some thoughts about your investigation . lt . baker : and ? stephanie : well , we think we might know who the suspect could be . ridge : somebody who 's deceptive and devious enough to set rick 's place on fire . stephanie : ( sighs ) uh , the person who might possibly have gotten away with not being charged with the criminal offenses for the death of phoebe . charlie : sounds like you 're talking about rick forrester . ridge : the guy 's a liar and a cheat . stephanie : he 'll do anything he can to get what he wants . lt . baker : what exactly are you suggesting ? ( sighs ) stephanie : well , that rick set the fire himself . lt . baker : that 's a very serious charge , mrs. forrester . stephanie : yes . yes , it is , but , um , we believe -- we 're very confident that your investigation is going to lead to the victim himself . [ scene_break ] thorne : you know , it makes me sick that rick is acting like he 's master of the freakin ' universe . ( sighs ) gosh . marcus : you know , everything would be different if you got your chance to run things . thorne : yeah . owen : pam , come on . what 's the point ? pam : well , at least it keeps my hands busy . otherwise , i might throttle that little tyrant . thorne : ( chuckles ) owen : yeah , well , if i do n't get to him first . pam : i 'm sorry , owen . you do n't deserve this . owen : well , neither do you . i mean , what kind of a person gets burnt to a crisp and then comes to work and starts firing people ? who does that ? thorne : ( sighs ) pam : someone almost `` fired `` rick last night . thorne : ( laughs ) marcus : hey , look , owen , man , i know we had our differences in the past , but , um , it should n't be you goin ' . it should be rick . owen : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] donna : you need to get a handle on your son , brooke . owen should n't have been fired . katie : well , at least we do n't have to deal with pam anymore . donna : yes . yes , she 's a threat to everyone in this family , which eric refuses to acknowledge , but firing owen , i -- he 's way out of line . it 's just like when he sent marcus off to paris , and we all know what happened as a result of that . brooke : ( sighs ) look , he 's made mistakes , but right now , my main concern is my son 's safety . katie : and what do the police have to say ? brooke : ( sighs ) lieutenant baker believes that this arson was a crime of passion . steffy broke up with marcus because of rick . ( sighs ) and usually a crime of passion is because of a jilted lover . marcus has been awfully quiet lately . donna : you can not possibly think that this was my son . brooke : oh . ( sighs ) look , i - i just need to look at all the possibilities . ( sniffles ) has he mentioned anything about his feelings for rick ? donna : well , of -- of course he 's upset about the breakup , brooke . of course he is . katie : oh , well -- ( sighs ) is he upset enough to set fire to rick 's house ? donna : no . no . no way . look , marcus and i have been separated for years . but i know my son , and he did not do this . brooke : well , i do n't have answers , and i need answers . katie : do the police have any evidence ? brooke : ( sighs ) no . ( sighs ) no , but they assured me that they would . i just hope they find the person responsible before something else happens . katie : oh , honey . i 'll let you know if i hear anything . brooke : ( sighs ) donna : and i will -- i 'll talk to marcus , okay ? but , you know , maybe it 's best for rick just to go away . may -- go back to paris for his own safety . brooke : no . he needs his family . he 's staying here with us . donna : look , brooke , this could be dangerous . somebody obviously wants to get rid of rick , and i 'm sure the evidence will point to whoever it is , but it wo n't be my son . [ scene_break ] marcus : you know what ? that was real cold - blooded the way you sold out owen like that , man . rick : lose the attitude , marcus . marcus : or what ? what , you gon na fire me , too ? you know , i hope that when steffy finds out that you blamed owen for the failure of your surf line , that she finally sees you for the real punk that you are . rick : sometimes a leader has to make difficult decisions . it 's one of the drawbacks of being in a position of incredible power . marcus : ( scoffs ) you think you got it all , do n't you , big brat -- the presidency , my girl ? but you see , rick , it 's all gon na blow up in your face , man . poof . [ scene_break ] taylor : you and rick have slept together . steffy : ( sighs ) i waited until i was sure it was right . taylor : steffy , he is so wrong for you . do you have any idea how devastated your father is gon na be about this ? steffy : i do n't want to hurt dad . i do n't want to hurt him , but i 'm old enough to know what 's right for me . mom , i do n't -- i do n't want you to worry . but rick loves me , and -- and he 's not gon na hurt me . taylor : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] stephanie : honey , you have put up with so much . that brooke would allow rick to -- to stay in the company , and that now she 's encouraging him in a relationship with your daughter ? ridge : she 's not encouraging him . stephanie : well , she has n't forbidden it . she should do everything in her power to keep him away from your daughter . look , she knows how much it meant to you to have steffy working here at the company . she was n't the least bit concerned about your feelings . in my opinion , the only person that she really cares about here is her son . he 's number one , not her husband . ridge : now you 're not being fair . stephanie : now do n't say that to me . it 's brooke who 's not being fair . this is a troubled young man . he 's not stable . and as long as your daughter 's involved in any kind of a relationship with him , she 's not safe . ridge : i have talked with her . i 've forbidden her from seeing him , but she wo n't listen to me . there 's only so much i can do , and that scares the hell out of me . stephanie : well , it should , especially if your own wife does n't support you in this . brooke : someone just tried to kill my son , and you 're in here trying to make trouble for ridge and me ? please leave , stephanie . i want to talk to my husband alone . stephanie : remember what i just said to you . this is your second daughter . she 's not safe . brooke : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] pam : that charbroiled brat gave me my walking papers . stephanie : honey , we 'll work this out . pam : rick killed phoebe , for pete 's sake . he 's allowed to stay on . and then what does he do ? he shoves a pink slip down my throat . stephanie : pam , honey , calm down . pam : well ...

[ scene_break ] taylor : your father is going to be absolutely devastated when he hears how far this has gone . steffy : ( sighs ) rick thinks dad may already know . taylor : what ? steffy : he -- ( sighs ) he has this idea that it could be dad who set the beach house on fire . taylor : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] rick : i thought i fired you . owen : yeah , you sure did , even though i 've been loyal to this company , and i have worked my butt off . rick : well , look at the bright side . you have some time off now to hang out with your surfing buddies . owen : yeah , maybe i 'll have a little time for a barbecue on the beach . who knows ?

( sighs ) ridge ... ( sighs ) steffy and rick -- they have feelings for each other . now i wish that were n't the case . but if they want to be together , they will be . ridge : so you 're telling me i ca n't protect my own daughter ? brooke : if she wants to see rick , you ca n't stop her , no more than your mother could stop us . ridge : well , i ca n't accept that , brooke . i ca n't accept that , and neither should you .

( sighs ) no , ridge . we 'll get through this . ridge : he 's got a vendetta against me , brooke . he hates me as much as i hate him . your son is severely messed up . you look at him and see your little boy . i look at him , and i see satan . brooke : ( sighs ) rick is not evil . in fact , i happen to believe that he truly does care about steffy . ridge : oh , please . he 's not capable of caring about anybody but himself . brooke : he 's not the only one that wants this relationship . steffy wants it , too . ridge : well , this is the one thing she 's not gon na have , then . i will put her away somewhere and take her halfway around the world -- whatever it takes . brooke : what ? you would n't . ridge : yes , brooke , i would . i do not want her anywhere near your son . i do n't want him touching her at all . if i find out that he 's taken this relationship any further -- the idea of that man violating my daughter -- i could n't stand that , brooke . i could n't stand it .

[ both laugh ] ridge : nicely put . okay . what ? what ? caroline : do n't you ... ridge : oh , do n't do that , because i might do this . caroline : no , no . noooo ! it 's my only clean shirt . [ scene_break ] wyatt : did deacon say something about walking out on her ? brooke : what is there really to say ? he has no illusions about quinn . but you should 've seen his face when i told him that she walked in here and slapped me . and she attacked my daughter in my backyard . wyatt : he does n't hold that against her , though . brooke : may not seem that way . wyatt : brooke , he cares about her . he protects her , and no one else has ever done that before but me . brooke : i 'm sure he 's grateful . she gives him free room and board . wyatt : oh , you think that 's all there is between them ? is that it ? brooke : no . no , i think they 're attached . she may have appealed to his darker side at first , but i know deacon sharpe . he wants an easy life , and he knows , being with quinn , that certainly is n't going to happen . [ scene_break ] deacon : all right , you 're gon na make me a promise -- no more craziness . quinn : promises are n't really my forte . deacon : all right , look -- i 'll settle for no more violent craziness . i can deal with the random , around - the - house craziness . no more murder attempts . no more smacking brooke . quinn : well , i would n't need to smack brooke around if i were married to you . i mean , i 'd lord it over her every chance i got . deacon : so that means you want to get married ? quinn : i 'm better when i have somebody to take care of . deacon : i noticed . quinn : [ chuckles ] and i could buy you better clothes if you would let me . deacon : i think we can work something out . quinn : and i would want to build up the business . deacon : yeah ? quinn : and i would n't want you to get a job . i 'd want you to be around in case i need you . deacon : i help out . it 's not like i 'm some couch potato . quinn : i could buy you a french maid 's outfit . deacon : will you stop it ? can you be serious ? come on . this is -- this is everything . quinn : are we doing this ? deacon : there 's still one thing you have n't said . quinn : i 'm not gon na change my name . deacon : no . why would you ? i mean , come on -- quinn sharpe . people would think that you 're into swords and stuff like that . that 'd be weird . quinn : and you know you could never divorce me . you 'll wake up with a pillow over your face . deacon : you see ? now that is the kind of commitment i 'm talking about . i like where your head 's at . quinn : [ giggles ] it 's a little loose , but i could fix that . deacon : okay . i know that the stone 's not the best ... quinn : no , i 've never ... never worn a diamond on my finger . okay . you can talk to me about love . deacon : you love me ? [ scene_break ] caroline : i never was good at making straight lines with a paint brush . ridge : well , than i 'm glad you 're not using a paint knife . caroline : [ giggles ] but lines are important . ridge : mm - hmm . lines are what brought us together . it 's almost like our song , huh ? you know , you made me realize some -- something i just was n't aware of , and , um ... something i should n't do anymore . caroline : then why do you do it ? ridge : well ... because maybe i just do n't believe in my luck . i ca n't believe you 're here . maybe i just do n't think that i deserve you . caroline : i thought i was the only one who felt that . ridge : let 's make a deal -- stop thinking that way . caroline : deal . but i 'm just getting started , so ... ridge : uh - oh . caroline : [ giggling ] [ scene_break ] ( brooke 's flashbacks ) deacon : i - i did n't mean to do that . brooke : oh , shut up . of course you -- deacon : what if you could wish for anything -- anything at all -- right at this moment ? brooke : i have everything i want . i would n't change a thing . [ scene_break ] deacon : you know , it 's not loose . quinn : sex makes my fingers swell up . deacon : [ laughs ] i guess i 'm gon na have to keep it that way . quinn : mm . you know , it looks much ... better up close . deacon : you know , i had it for quite a while . quinn : did you buy this for somebody else ? deacon : quinn ... quinn : some ex - girlfriend with kielbasa for fingers ? deacon : you know what ? you got me . you know , she was actually -- ooh , she was actually so thin , she wore it as an ankle bracelet . quinn : oh , tell me the truth . deacon : no , it 's true . i used to call her olive oyl . fell for a swabbie , big forearms -- [ laughs ] ow ! quinn : you better not cheat on me . deacon : do n't i know it . quinn : something tells me that i think you wo n't . deacon : you know , i honestly believe that you and i can be happy -- i mean , assuming that you do n't poison me or stab me in my sleep . quinn : why would i even do that ? i mean , you 're the only man in my entire life , other than my son , who 's seen me at my worst and not run away . you know , i always thought ... if this ever happened for me ... at all , i would be in my 70s and ... all the fire would be out of me . deacon : baby , i do n't think there 's enough water in all the oceans in the world to quench the fire in you . quinn : [ breathes deeply ] are you really sure you want to do this ? with me ? deacon : mm - hmm . quinn : i mean ... i 'm not a good person . i 'm really not . i - i 'm trying to be a better person , but i feel like i 'm ... i feel like i 'm just gon na pretend to be . deacon : that 's okay . that 's what everybody does . baby , you think there 's this little tiny part of you that 's missing . it 's not . you just do n't fake it like the rest of us . i mean , it 's like the world and all the trouble inside of it , it has n't gotten to you , and you 're outraged on all of our behalves . what the hell could be cooler than that ? quinn : i do n't know what to call ... what i feel for you . deacon : that 's okay , baby . you remind me to explain it to you sometime . | deacon says he is not getting down on one knee but he wants to marry her . quinn scoffs that he needs to put that ring away . they just agreed she is not good for him . he tells her to take the damn ring and put it on her finger . she likes him around as her toy . wyatt goes over to brooke 's and brooke wants to know if his mother sent him . he says no , but she is the reason he is here . he said he was going to wash his hands of her but he is the only one who knows the difference of her everyday crazy and her over the top crazy . and right now brooke is the reason for that . brooke says she will not stand here and take blame for quinn 's craziness . he assures her he is not blaming her but he knows quinn is insecure about deacon . is there anything about deacon that would give his mother concern . she admits he brought her home and she did invite him in but nothing happened . deacon tells quinn that brooke was his ideal fantasy but they had one moment together but he did not realize it was just one moment and it has vanished . he has seen the reality now . quinn says she felt the same about bill . he never cared except for her in bed . she is not sure she even believes in marriage . she kisses him to make sure deacon is still himself . she asks him to bring out the ring again . ridge tells caroline that steffy left because her plan did not work so they are back to right where they started to try to take down the king . she tells him liam did not work out but ridge could still fight to get rick out . ridge says he ca n't without stabbing his father in the back . she gets playful and mixes up some paint and starts painting his shirt . the next thing you now she is ducking from him as he starts to paint her and she retaliates by painting his face . these two are having too much fun with their finger painting . |
flo : um , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to freak you out or anything . i just -- hope : no , no . it 's okay . i was just leaving . flo : i just -- i , uh ... i overheard what -- what you were saying about your baby . and , um ... i am really sorry . hope : i have to go . flo : wait . hope -- hope , i just , um ... i - i need to talk to you . i have to tell you something . steffy : my sweet girl . ridge : she is cute . steffy : yes , she is . ridge : everything exactly the way it 's supposed to be . steffy : yeah . feels like phoebe was always meant to be part of this family . i may not have given birth to her , but i adore her just the same . ridge : we can all see how much you love that little girl . liam : okay , so this is my first day meeting phoebe . wyatt : oh ! [ chuckles ] she was so tiny ! liam : scroll -- scroll to the right a little bit and you 'll see , uh , my first beach day with kelly and phoebe . wyatt : oh . oh , my god . okay , you 're gon na have two little surfer girls on your hands before you know it . liam : i know . well , kelly -- kelly in particular , she 's already inherited our -- our fondness for water . she was in the bath the other day just , like , flopping around for like an hour . totally content . wyatt : you -- see ? you love spending time with her . liam : yeah , i do . i mean , of course i do . i want to spend as much time with kelly as possible . but even phoebe , if i 'm thinking about it , i ... i - i know i 'm not technically related to her , but i -- i would like to be a kind of father figure for her , too . wyatt : your connection to phoebe makes total sense . she 's kelly 's sister . she does n't have a father . so of course you 're gon na feel bonded to her . liam : yeah . [ chuckles ] yeah . it 's -- it 's weird . it just kind of came naturally . like , the -- the moment i met phoebe , i ... i knew i wanted to be in her life . wyatt : that 's really cool , man . i mean , kids need all the attention in the world , you know ? which is why you can count on me to be their `` funcle . `` liam : [ chuckles ] yeah , th -- wh - what did you say ? `` funcle `` ? wyatt : yeah . yeah . fun uncle . liam : [ laughing ] wyatt : no , that 's a thing . no , and i am totally ready , okay ? when -- when kelly and phoebe , when they 're old enough ... liam : yeah ? wyatt : ... i 'm gon na take them to the ice - cream shop as many times as they want . liam : yeah ? wyatt : uncle -- funcle wyatt , here , is gon na make it happen . liam : you -- you -- you just want to spoil them . that 's what this is . that 's all this is . wyatt : i am gon na spoil them so much . you are totally smitten by them , too . liam : yeah . yeah , i am . which is why hope was pushing me to be with steffy . wyatt : right . liam : i would never judge phoebe 's birth mom . you know , i - i 'm grateful that she put her up for adoption , but ... i just do n't get it . i mean , i ca n't imagine having a daughter out there in the world that is n't in my life . ridge : she 's so comfortable with you . steffy : yeah . this sweet little munchkin is all mine . and this sweet little munchkin is ready for bed . ridge : sure looks like it . steffy : yeah . and the moment i put her down , kelly 's gon na be wide awake . ridge : you know , these guys , they do it on purpose . you and your sister did the same thing . steffy : yeah , i 'm starting to think that you 're right . ridge : go do it . bye . steffy : night . good night . ridge : good night , phoebe . steffy : mm . ridge : you know what , i - i wish i could meet the -- the birth mother . just thank her for bringing her into our family . flo : i hate what you 've been through , hope . i - i ca n't even imagine how you must be feeling . hope : thank you . a lot of people have been coming up to me , expressing their condolences -- flo : i 'm not just anybody . i know about you and your situation . i know about how you lost your baby . there -- there 's something that you do n't know about me . zoe : flo ! what are you doing ? ridge : my offer stands . you need a babysitter , i 'm the guy . steffy : thanks . that 's sweet . ridge : oh , my god . you do n't think i can do it . how do -- i - i had you , and i had your sister on my chest , i had your brother crawling up my back . i did it . steffy : oh , i know . i know . i - i saw the pictures . it looked like a circus . ridge : it was a circus . steffy : mom said you were just trying to show off . [ laughs ] ridge : i do n't -- what ? no , i was trying to sh - show off my kids , the same way i want to show off my grandkids . steffy : okay , okay . i 'll bring the girls to the office , and you can parade them around the building . ridge : good . or outside the building . we can go do something else . just know that i - i had three kids at the same time , so i can do this . steffy : i know you can . ridge : mm ? steffy : i - i know you can . ridge : okay . steffy : and i appreciate your support . of course we want you around . but you do n't have to worry about me , dad . i 'm fine . i have amelia , i have -- i have mom when she 's in town , and ... you know , despite what happened to beth ... liam 's very present in his daughter 's life . and in phoebe 's , too . wyatt : the girls are lucky to have you . you know that ? liam : well , i want to be there for them . wyatt : hope wants you to be there for them , too . liam : yeah , but she 's grieving , and she does n't know what she 's saying right now . wyatt : she wants you to go be with them , liam . she -- she wants you to make a life with steffy . liam : i know , because hope believes that she 's keeping me from giving them this perfect family . wyatt : there 's no such thing as a perfect family . liam : exactly . wyatt : you -- okay . you and i were both raised by single mothers , and we turned out okay . liam : yeah . i mean , hope wants kelly -- and phoebe -- to have what she did n't have growing up , which is -- which is a mother and a father who are committed to each other who are living together under one roof . wyatt : right , and there 's nothing wrong with that . except that you live here , and you 're married to hope , not steffy . liam : and i 'd like to keep it that way . wyatt : is that what you really want ? liam : wyatt ! wyatt : i know you 'd never turn your back on her , especially with everything she 's going through , but -- liam : i am not giving up on hope or our marriage . hope : you know each other ? zoe : [ american accent ] well , flo works here . we actually met through danny . : [ scoffs ] uh , it 's just this bet xander and i are doing . hope : oh . zoe : it 's nothing . but , uh , hey , i - i think danny said he was looking for you . you should go find him . hope : oh , wait . actually , she had something she needed to tell me . zoe : well , i - i 'm sure it can wait . ca n't it , flo ? hope : no , it , um ... it sounded important , so ... what is it ? zoe : you 're right . it 's , uh , probably time ... that you know the truth , hope . hope : that i know the truth about what ? zoe : look , it 's not exactly my place to say anything , but i know that this is still really hard for flo to talk about , especially considering the role she played in the situation . hope : what are you talking about ? zoe : [ sighs ] hope , what i 'm about to say will come as a shock to you , okay , but it 's something you should have found out about a while ago . it has to do with the baby steffy adopted . hope : with phoebe . zoe : yes . hope : what about her ? zoe : i know who phoebe 's biological mother is . hope : you do ? zoe : yes . hope : well , who is she ? okay , max ... time to help mrs . tyler ridge : there we go . steffy : i 'm impressed . ridge : you 're impressed that i can fold a onesie ? this -- i - i deal with clothing for a living . steffy : oh , maybe i 'll hire you . although liam is pretty good at folding baby clothes . he 's got a good system . ridge : he 's got a system ? well , i 'm just glad he 's hanging out . steffy : yeah . yeah , when he can . ridge : but he 's not leaving hope to move in here ? steffy : no , no . i mean , hope said that 's what she wanted , but obviously she 's having a really hard time . ridge : and you 're okay with everything ? steffy : yeah . yeah . liam is really committed to the girls . ridge : good . i 'm just ... glad he 's stepping up . steffy : yeah . he 's amazing . the girls are lucky to have him as a father . i mean ... kelly . kelly is really lucky to have him as a father . he 's just been so amazing with phoebe , sometimes i have to remind myself that he 's not her dad . liam : thanks for coming over , man . it 's , um ... it 's nice . i - i forgot how good it is to -- to talk to someone outside all this . wyatt : dude , i 'm always here for you , all right ? and stop trying to be such a tough guy and bottle it all up . liam : [ chuckles ] or i might turn into dad ? oof . wyatt : hew 's new and improved now . liam : oh , so i hear . wyatt : [ chuckles ] liam : also , congratulations on everything happening with you and sally at spencer . that 's cool . wyatt : thanks , man . seriously . like , promise me that you 'll come to me if you need to vent . and i promise , no matter what it is , i wo n't make fun of you . liam : where have i heard that before ? wyatt : [ laughs ] i 'm serious , dude . i mean , i ca n't even imagine what you 've been going through , all right ? all the -- the crazy emotions , the ups and the downs and everything , like ... you and hope have suffered a horrible loss . but i know how strong you are . and you 're gon na get through it . and she will , too . she will because you are gon na help her get through it , all right ? you guys are gon na get through it together . you 're gon na help each other , and you 're gon na survive this . you got a ton of people that are pulling for you . do n't ever forget that . liam : thank you , bro . wyatt : yeah . liam : [ clears throat ] [ sighs ] you know , i wish -- i wish there was a way to bring my daughter back . but there 's not . she 's gone . and ... we just have to keep living right through that . hope : you know phoebe 's birth mother ? zoe : yes . i do . hope : um , who -- who is she ? zoe : it 's flo . yeah . uh , thi -- this is the woman who gave birth to phoebe . heh ... hope : really ? is that true ? zoe : yes . look , do n't worry , flo . it 's -- it 's okay for hope to know the truth . hope : wow . you , um ... you gave birth to phoebe , steffy 's daughter ? she 's such a precious angel , and ... i know how difficult of a decision it must have been to place your daughter up for adoption , and i - i know you did what you thought was best . and , um , i just ... i want to let you know how much of a gift she 's been for me . um ... losing my baby , i - i would have given anything to hold her again , but i can't . but i have phoebe . and even though she 's not mine , i mean , it 's been so healing getting to spend time with her , and she brings me peace . she 's a really , really special girl . and she 's in good hands . um , there 's a whole family that is there , loving her and looking out for her . and steffy , i mean , she 's a devoted , adoring mother , and she 's gon na give her a wonderful life [ voice breaking ] and , um ... i just -- i just hope that brings you some comfort . um ... i really should get going . um ... it was just ... it was really , really nice getting to talk to you , okay ? zoe : what were you thinking , flo ? you were about to tell her , were n't you ? you were about to tell her that phoebe is actually beth . steffy : [ sighs ] hope : remember the vows you made to each other . make the life that you promised to each other . you know , that does n't have to be a picture of the past . it can be a snapshot of the future . two parents raising phoebe and kelly together . a family . look how happy you two could be . you could have that life again . liam : hey . i thought i heard you come in . how was , uh ... how was your visit with katie ? hope : fine . liam : you went to bikini , right ? that was probably fun . bet it was crowded , but fun . hope : mm - hmm . liam : hey . something wrong ? hope : i met someone after katie left . liam : wha -- who ? hope : i met phoebe 's birth mother . zoe : hey , danny , could you , uh , cover for flo ? it 's important . danny : sure . but make it quick . zoe : thanks . i ca n't believe you were about to tell hope . flo : you lied to her , zoe . she deserves to know the truth . zoe : why were you even talking to her in the first place ? flo : she was sitting at the bar . i overheard her talking about her baby and losing it on catalina , and your dad was -- was the doctor . it did n't take a genius to put two and two together and realize that she was phoebe 's mother . zoe : so you thought you should be the one to tell her ? no care in the world for what could happen to my father ? flo : zo -- zoe : what could happen to you ? flo : zoe , if i had really known what your father had done , that he had taken hope 's baby and switched it with another , i never would have gotten involved in the first place . zoe : but you did get involved , flo . you signed fake adoption papers claiming that you were phoebe 's mother . flo : it was the worst decision of my life . now i 'm mixed up in this whole mess . and now hope , she -- she -- she thinks that her baby is dead ! zoe : i do n't like what my father did any more than you do , okay ? but i need to protect him . i will not let him go to jail . do you hear me ? you ca n't say a word to anyone . you need to leave l.a . immediately . flo : [ scoffs ] you do n't get it . even if i went back to vegas , this would still haunt me . you saw hope . you saw her . you heard her . she 's absolutely devastated , heartbroken without her baby . and i did that . i helped play a part in that . my god , zoe , i just -- i just ... [ voice breaking ] i just -- i feel so terrible about it . zoe : i know . so do i . okay ? and -- and that 's why i 'm telling you , you -- you ca n't be around here , all right ? you could go to prison for a very long time . you know , we could all end up locked up . flo : she just seems like such a sweet person . i do n't -- i do n't know how your father could do that to somebody . zoe : he did it to pay off his gambling debt , okay ? they were threatening to hurt me . he did it to protect me . flo : do n't you think it 's gon na come out ? i mean , with all the dna technology and these ancestor kits you can just buy at the drug store , i mean ... it 's bound to come out . steffy forrester will eventually realize that -- that hope logan is the mother of her baby . zoe : i can only pray that does n't happen . flo : you only care about what happens to your father . you know , may -- maybe he deserves to get locked up . for what he did to me . he used me . he lied to me . i -- i - i ca n't believe i 'm in the middle of all this . zoe : well , you are , okay ? look , i - i get if you feel guilty , because i - i do , too . i do . but if you tell anyone , let alone hope , we will all end up in serious trouble . danny : hey , flo , i need you back at the bar ! zoe : flo , please . please , just listen to me , okay ? you 've got to quit this job . just go back to my dad 's apartment , pack your bags , and leave l.a . immediately . wyatt : oh ! i 'm so sorry . flo : oh , excuse me . i 'm sorry . wyatt : i , uh -- [ chuckles ] flo : wyatt ? wyatt fuller ? wyatt : holy ... | before she can leave the bikini bar , flo tells hope that she has something important to tell her . liam shows wyatt some photos on his phone , his first beach day with the girls . he says he knows he is not technically kin to phoebe but he 'd like to be a father figure for her too . wyatt says she is kelly 's sister so that makes sense . it 's all cool . and uncle wyatt will spoil them too and take them to the ice creme shop when the time comes . liam says he would never judge phoebe 's birth mom but he can not imagine a woman out there who would give her up . ridge agrees with steffy that he wishes he could meet the birth mother . steffy says yes it is amazing how good liam is being a father to both girls . hope is going through a really thought time but she accepts and goes along with liam 's being with them . flo gets hope to stop and says she is sure lots of people are offering their condolences for her lost baby but there is something about flo that she does not know . zoe walks up and wants to know what is going on which stops that conversation . steffy tells her dad that despite what happened with beth , liam is very present in kelly 's life and in phoebe 's too . wyatt tells liam that both of them were raised without fathers and they turned out okay . they discuss again that hope wants him to go live with steffy but he is not going to give up on her . he lost his daughter but they are going to have to plow right through . wyatt tells him a lot of people are in his corner and yes they will survive this . they hug . |
liam : hope , d - do n't you see ? thomas is n't rushing down the aisle just because what , like , he just really ca n't wait to be zoe 's husband . no , he 's doing it to manipulate you and douglas into giving him what he really wants , which is a marriage to you , a life with you . but if y -- if you just -- if you just call him out on it . hope : okay , call him out on it how ? liam : you j -- you tell him . you just -- you just tell him that you know he 's using his son in a sick , twisted way and now he 's using zoe , too . hope : i do n't know . i do n't know , liam . i do n't know . i just -- i do think thomas cares about zoe , and ... liam : ohh . it does n't ma -- it does n't matter whether he does or doesn't . he 's still manipulating her as part of his plan to get you . and obviously zoe 's going along with it because he 's very careful and she 's smitten . but it 's still happening . he 's got all the chess pieces on the board exactly where he wants them to be , and checkmate is this quickie marriage to zoe , which he knows will trigger you into doing something that you would otherwise never ever ever do for douglas ' sake . trust me . the guy knows exactly what he 's doing . steffy : you 're not denying it . thomas : what 's to deny ? i designed two wedding gowns , one for zoe -- steffy : and one for hope . just not as a showstopper for her line , like you claim , but in hopes hope will be wearing it when she marries you , if you play your cards right . thomas : i 've never been that great at cards . steffy : this is n't a game , thomas . thomas : how well i know . steffy : i wante to believe your relationship with zoe was n't a sham . thomas : was n't a sham . steffy : maybe not . maybe you have feelings for zoe . but those feelings are also a means to an end , some twisted scheme to make hope yours . you 've never given up . you 'll never give up ... till hope 's mrs . thomas forrester . zoe : you 're surprised . yeah , i get it . i was , too . carter : yeah . i , uh ... i assumed you and thomas would have taken your time , not rushed to the altar , but now you 're telling me you 're getting married right away ? zoe : well , it 's what thomas wants . carter : what about what you want ? zoe : i want to be his wife . carter : obviously . you said yes to his proposal , but this is happening too fast . zoe : [ chuckles ] okay . um , carter , i know that you care about me . i do . but i 'm not naive . okay ? i questioned thomas , and he says that he loves me , that he 's completely over hope , and i believe him . liam : so , uh , to be clear , thomas has already told you point blank that you 're gon na have less access to douglas once he and zoe are married ? hope : and that is what scares me . liam , that little boy loves me . he depends on me . liam : th - that -- that is exactly the reaction he 's after . do n't you see that ? he -- he wants you so scared of losing douglas that you would actually marry him in order to stop it from happening . do n't fall for it . do n't fall for it . thomas : okay , your hands are n't exactly clean , either , sis . i mean , remember that kiss you had with liam that hope conveniently saw ? well , that 's the reason that liam is living with you and kelly and not hope and beth . steffy : i 've never been happy about doing that , that kiss . i have been riddled with guilt ever since . what are you trying to do ? you 're playing douglas and zoe to get hope ? they 're just pawns in your never - ending obsession ? thomas : stop ! stop , okay ? before you get all high and mighty , remember i practically handed liam to you . steffy : so you could have hope for yourself . that 's what it goes back to . everything you do , you say , you think , it always goes back to hope . and it always will . unless ... thomas : unless ... what ? carter : for your sake , i hope you 're right about thomas . but i spoke to liam and brooke . they 're convinced he 's up to no good , that he 's using you . zoe : carter . carter : i 'm worried he is , too . thomas : you 're not thinking about going to zoe , because if you do , then i -- steffy : then what ? what ? what are you gon na do ? you gon na out me to hope and liam ? tell them the truth about that kiss ? you 'd be sealing your own fate , do n't you think ? thomas : just saying . steffy : you 're willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your plan works . zoe and douglas be damned . thomas : okay . that 's not fair . zoe 's helped me through a lot , and douglas is my son . i love him . steffy : you 're just not above using him or stringing zoe along to get hope back . this is ridiculous , marrying someone you do n't even love . thomas : okay , time out , sis . think about what you 're saying . liam is living with you now , with you and kelly . okay ? you -- you finally have the -- the family , the life that you wanted for her . steffy : not like this . yes , i 've made mistakes in the past , but i am trying very hard to be a better human . thomas : great . but you can not tell me that the last few months , they have n't been the best you 've had with -- with liam and kelly . steffy : i do n't want a future based on a deception , thomas . thomas : liam is so much better off with you and kelly , okay ? i wish i never went along with your plan . if that kiss never happened , we would n't be in the situation . thomas : no , we would n't , and liam would still be with hope and you would be alone again . steffy : first of all , i 'm not alone . i have my daughter . secondly , i do n't need a man to live a fulfilling life . thomas : fine . you don't . you don't . but do n't tell me that if liam came here right now and got down on one knee , you would say no ? steffy : oh , my gosh . i am not hearing this right now . i 'm not gon na have this conversation with you . liam proposed to hope , not me . and they could have been married by now if that kiss had n't happened . thomas : stef , you -- you 're gon na screw this up for both of us if you say anything . do not say anything . think about kelly . think about how happy she is , how perfect her life is in that home right now , how perfect your life is . you have what you always wanted . it 's in that house . do n't blow it , stef , because if you do , you might not have another shot with liam . liam : how are douglas and beth ? hope : good . you know how much he loves being with her . who knows what will happen , though , once thomas and zoe are married . liam : yeah . i do n't think they will be . i -- i think that if thomas ca n't find some way to reel you in , then he 's just gon na make up some after - the - fact excuse for why he ca n't go through with it . oh , i 'm sorry . does that sound cynical ? well , it 's not out of character for the guy . just think of how many other lives he 's destroyed , including ours . i know he says he 's this new person , but his actions tell another story . hope : well , ridge does n't see it that way . liam : ridge is thomas ' father . hope : hmm . liam : ridge needs -- and i mean needs -- to believe that thomas is on the up and up because ridge still feels guilty about letting thomas down as a little boy . hope : well , i hope i never feel that way . like i 've let beth down . liam : [ scoffs ] hey , look at me for a sec . i 'm -- i promise i 'm not proposing . just put this down . you will never let beth down because you ca n't because of who you are -- an incredible , loving , attentive mother . our daughter adores you , like her father . i 'm not giving up on us , hope . and that kiss -- oh , god , that ... i hate that i put you through that , and i hate that it now means i 'm not here with you in this home as a family . yeah , i -- i 'm staying with my other family right now , but ... my heart is here with you . not ready for invasive procedures ? carter : you are very loyal to thomas . zoe : yeah , well , we 've been through a lot together . carter : yeah . he pressured you into keeping the secret about beth . zoe : and we 're both very sorry that we did , okay ? it was horribly wrong . but to have that follow us for the rest of our lives , as if we 're just not worthy of forgiveness . carter : i do n't feel that way about you . you 're a good person , zoe . zoe : and so is thomas . and he 's gon na be a good husband , too . carter : for your sake , i hope that 's true . zoe : what , you do n't believe it is ? carter : let 's just say i think you can do a lot better than thomas forrester . hope : looking for douglas ? he 's up at the house with my mom . thomas : actually , it 's you i wanted to speak to . i can see how upset you were about my upcoming wedding . how upset your still are . [ knock on door ] liam : stef ? you here ? [ door closes ] steffy , i came as soon as i could . where -- hi . what , uh , what 's happening ? where 's kelly ? is kelly okay ? steffy : uh , she -- she 's fine . she 's sleeping in the nursery . sorry if i alarmed you . liam : uh , yeah . no . i mean , no worries . it 's just you said it was urgent . steffy : yeah , well , um ... it is -- it is urgent . this has been really hard for me the last few weeks , liam . liam : h - hard in what way ? steffy : look , it 's about -- it 's about you and hope . and ... it 's about thomas and -- thomas and me . liam : thomas ? steffy : yeah . steffy : liam , i tried to give my brother the benefit of the doubt , i really did , and i know i should have said something before , but i just -- i guess i thought , like ... it was wrong , okay ? and i knew it was wrong -- [ sighs ] i knew it was wrong all along . it 's time i was honest with you . you need to know the truth ... all of it . hope : i do n't understand how you could do this to your son , thomas . i mean , did you not think about his feelings at all , how he might react ? i mean , you had to know -- thomas : okay , okay , hope . i 'll concede . i -- i did n't handle it in the best possible way . hope : ohh . thomas : look , zoe and i , we 're excited about getting married , all right ? and we wanted douglas to be excited , too . i -- i never meant to ... to hurt him , or -- or you . nothing gives me greater joy than the bond you have with my son . you ... you have this amazing influence on his life . you 're the mother that he needed after caroline died . is it any wonder why he wants us to be a family , the three of us living together ? i mean ... look , i 've been honest with him , and i 've been honest with you . i 'm not gon na lie about this . i wanted that , too . but you don't . okay ? so i am -- i -- i 'm being forced to move on with my life . and i 'm trying to do that with zoe . i mean , surely you ca n't hold that against me . hope : i am not . i just wish you would n't rush into marriage . at least give douglas a chance to adjust to all these changes . - no . no . it ca n't wait , okay ? it has to happen right now because the longer we wait , the harder it 's gon na be on douglas . i said that before , and i 'll say it again . so no . this has to happen now . liam : what happened ? what did thomas do now ? steffy : i 'm sorry , liam . i am so , so sorry . liam : for what ? steffy : when you were over here with beth , i could see how much you adore her , how much you hate being apart from her . liam : uh , yeah . that 's not your fault . steffy : yes , it is my fault . that kiss is my fault . liam : oh , my god , steffy . steffy : no , it is . liam : you got to stop . steffy : liam ... that night you proposed to hope and you set conditions that thomas had to be out of your lives and hope did n't accept it because she was worried about douglas , what it would mean for him and you came over here and you spent the night on the couch with kelly and then you woke up and you were prepared to work things out with hope ... oh , man . and then something happened . i kissed you . liam : stef , we have talked about this . you 've got to stop beating yourself up for it because it is not your fault . steffy : yes , it is my fault . it is my fault . liam : how is it ? steffy : no , it is my fault , and i wish i did n't even answer that phone . liam : answer -- steffy : i wish i hung up . i just wish i hung up on him . liam : whoa . slow down . hung up on who ? steffy : thomas . he called me , and he said hope was on her way here . thomas , i 'm in the middle of something right now . thomas : there 's not much time . something 's happened . steffy : if this is about hope and liam , i already know . thomas : is he still at your place ? steffy : yeah . yeah . we 're in the backyard . he needed someone to talk to . thomas : do you want to be with him , stef , as a couple ? as a family ? and he was freaking out because he did n't want you and hope to work things out , and so ... he followed her . she had no idea . that 's when we were outside . and then the phone rang . you remember ? liam : vaguely . yeah . steffy : i knew that it was thomas , and that cell phone ringing meant that hope was here and that she could see us . the phone rang ... [ ring ] and i kissed you ... knowing hope could see us . i do n't even know how i got wrapped up in thomas ' game , but he just ... he just has a way , you know . he wanted you and hope to break up . he 's still in love with her . he 's more obsessed than ever , and i -- i know that 's not an excuse . like , i -- i know how much it hurt you and hope ... and your family with beth , and i 'm sorry . liam : uh ... steffy : i 'm really sorry . | in the cottage , liam keeps working on hope , who 's upset that thomas keeps putting pressure on douglas . liam suggests that she call thomas out on what he 's doing ( manipulating her , douglas and zoe ) . hope is not so sure that thomas does n't care for zoe . she 's just worried that thomas seems to be threatening to keep her away from douglas . after she checks on the kids , they discuss thomas some more and what he 's up to . ridge 's name comes up - how he only sees the good in thomas because of his guilt in not being there for him when he was younger . she hopes beth never feels that way about her . liam assures her that she 's a great mom . he says that he 's not giving up on them , even though he 's staying with his other family right now . his heart is there with her and beth . meanwhile , back at forrester , steffy is angry that thomas is using zoe and douglas to get hope . they yell at each other about `` the kiss `` between her and liam that thomas orchestrated . she suddenly realizes that thomas is going to continue on with his plan unless someone stops him . they argue about thomas ' scheming . thomas warns steffy not to blow this for the both of them . later , thomas visits hope ( but first he stands outside the door , watching her in a creepy way ) . he wants to speak to her about how upset she is . he puts pressure on her , as usual , about how he has to move on with his life , since hope does n't want him . hope just wants him to give douglas time to get used to the idea . |

liam : you met phoebe 's birth mother ? hope : it 's pretty crazy that she 'd be right there , behind the bar at bikini . it was ... it was almost like i was supposed to meet her . liam : that 's weird . hope : yeah . i mean , there i was , all of a sudden talking to the woman who gave birth to phoebe . it was like ... i do n't know , it 's almost like everything that touches phoebe , it feels like ... coincidence ? fate ? flo : wyatt fuller ? god , it really is you . wyatt : wow . flo . you -- you look amazing . um ... what are you -- what are you -- i did n't know you moved to l.a . flo : it 's more like an extended stay , but how would you even know ? we have n't talked in years . wyatt : right , um , and i can -- i can see what you 're thinking . flo : i mean , you just left vegas . no word , no text , or e - mail . nothing . wyatt : yeah , i -- i 'd like to explain that . xander : sally ... this is amazing ! tiffany : your own design house at spencer ? sally : i 'm not crazy about the name -- spencer fashions -- but , you know , i ca n't deny the opportunity . xander : it 's fantastic . i mean , of course we 'll miss you and wyatt around here , but , i mean , obviously you got to go ! sally : say that again . xander : obviously you got to go , right ?

[ laughs ] liam : so , what is flo like ? hope : honestly , i was kind of put off by her at first -- before i knew who she was -- because she was so intense , and it kind of freaked me out a little . but once she told me she was phoebe 's birth mother ... just the way she said it , i do n't know , there 's something to her . there 's this ... vulnerability , this sweetness . liam : so , all things considered , you liked her . hope : yeah . i really did . liam : so did steffy . well , it 's official . i am now the last person to meet phoebe 's birth mother . i got to be honest , i -- i really would like to meet the woman who brought that -- that angel into the world . sally : sorry about that . zoe : so , i just have to ask . i mean , when i first got here , bill spencer was public enemy # 1 . i mean , he literally destroyed your business , left it rubble on the ground . so , how 'd you go from there to him backing you ? sally : wyatt . yeah , bill wanted his family reunited , and ... he wanted to make up for all the terrible things that he had done , so he asked wyatt to come back to spencer publications , and wyatt made funding and restarting my company a condition . zoe : go , wyatt . xander : yeah , that 's pretty badass . sally : i know , he 's so awesome . the kindest , most generous man i 've ever met . seriously , every day , i just feel so lucky to be the woman that he loves . zoe : well , i know the feeling . sally : you know what , wyatt and i are having hope and liam over for dinner tonight . you guys want to join us ?

flo : your laugh . it 's been so long since i 've heard it . wyatt : oh . flo : that , and your corny jokes . wyatt : what ? i 'm sorry , did you just call my jokes corny ? flo : i did , yeah . wyatt : my jokes are not corny , they are funny . people here would like them if i said some , thank you . flo : [ giggles ] oh , god , wyatt . i have missed you so much . wyatt : [ laughs ] oh . um ... uh .... oh , there 's , uh , something you should know . i 'm -- i 'm ... i 'm living with someone . flo : my heart just broke a little bit . wyatt : come on , flo . i mean , it 's been years since we 've seen each other . flo : i know , i know , i know , but you 're just -- you 're just hard to forget . i 'm not surprised that there 's a woman . you 're charming , handsome , successful ... wyatt : not to mention my corny jokes , right ? flo : yeah . those , too . wyatt : mm - hmm . uh , well , my girlfriend sally and i are throwing a dinner party tonight . you should come by , right ? flo : i do n't think that 's really a good idea . besides , i 'm probably heading back to vegas tonight , anyway . wyatt : what ? what 's the rush ? i mean , you want to get back to the desert , desert , and more desert ? it 's just , you know , sand . flo : it 's ... it 's home . wyatt : well , i mean , it does n't have to be , you know ? i mean , you could move here . i mean , if you want to . people -- people do it all the time . flo : and so relocation to l.a. begins with dinner at your place ? wyatt : i mean , you should come and see , you know ? you could meet sally . i mean , i bet you guys would be good friends . flo : i highly doubt that . this , um , sally , she -- she makes you happy ? wyatt : yeah . i mean , i 'd be even happier if i could convince you to come for dinner , hmm ? okay , do n't commit to dinner . don't . you could have , like -- come by for a drink . you know , you could meet my brother and everything . oh ! i have two brothers now . flo : what ? wyatt : yeah . one of them has a wife . you 'd probably like her . i mean , you should come by . i live literally right down the beach here . it 's super close . please . come on . huh ? flo : okay , okay . yes . i -- i will come for one drink . wyatt : okay . one . liam : uh , we should -- we should start getting ready . hope : for what ? liam : wyatt and sally invited us to dinner , remember ? hope : oh , uh , right . um , i think i 'm gon na pass , but you should go . liam : what ? what ? no , no , no . no , no , no , no . i want you to come with me . we need to get out of the house . it 'll be good for both of us . hope : well , i really do n't think i 'm up for it , and , besides , i 've already gone out with katie today . liam : i know , and you need to build on that . hope , we have to -- we have to try to move on with our lives . hope : i do n't think i can do it , i don't . i just -- it feels disloyal . beth did n't get to go on with hers , and -- and moving on feels like letting her go . liam : there has to be a way to hold beth in your heart without letting it paralyze you . hope : i keep thinking about flo . to carry phoebe , to give birth to her , and then to have to let her go ... it must have been ... so , so difficult . wyatt : okay . my address . no backing out allowed . flo : i will be there . wyatt : okay . see you tonight ?

steffy : the kiss we shared outside , the one that hope saw that ended your relationship , that was staged . liam : by thomas . steffy : it was n't totally his fault . i did n't have to go along with it , but i did . liam : and he knew hope would see us . steffy : yeah . thomas orchestrated the whole thing to come between you and hope . thomas : zoe and i are getting married right away -- tomorrow , if i can make it happen . hope : what , tomorrow ? thomas : yeah . the -- the dress is ready . we 're ready . there 's no reason to wait , so just make it happen , you know ? hope : thomas , have you even thought about douglas ? you already know how upset he is . he needs time to process these changes . thomas : hope , we both know what douglas wants , and that 's beth and us three as a family , but you do n't want that . so the best thing i can do for douglas is to get him on board with zoe because zoe is going to play a very big role in our future . shauna : i know how strongly you feel about this , but does sally have to really move in with wyatt ? flo : mom , we have already discussed this . shauna : i know , sweetheart . but it 's a lot . flo : we decided that sally deserves as much love and comfort and peace as she can get in her final days , so ... shauna : well , that is awfully kind of you . and you must really love this man to make this huge sacrifice . flo : i do love him . speaking of the `` l `` word . shauna : mm - hmm . flo : you have fallen for someone pretty hard yourself . ridge : hi . brooke : hi . mmm . ridge : we 've got something to celebrate . thomas and zoe are getting married tomorrow . brooke : tomorrow ? ridge : yeah . that 's what you wanted , right ? proof that thomas is moving on from hope ? we can be together again . flo : you have got a massive crush . shauna : yeah , well , a lot of good that 's doing me . he and brooke are hanging on by a thread . flo : well , you never know with those two . he could end up single again one day . shauna : yeah , when i 'm old and gray . flo : oh , come on . do n't act like you 're giving up hope . i still see that twinkle in your eye . shauna : well , it was just so unexpected . i did n't think , coming to l.a. , i would fall for someone . flo : uh , he 's also just not someone , mom . he 's ridge forrester . shauna : that 's true . ridge : are n't you excited ? this is great news . brooke : i 'm just taking it all in . ridge : you said if thomas and zoe marry , you -- you 'd believe that he moved on . well , he has . he 's proven himself . brooke : i can see how happy this makes you . ridge : this -- this is good for both of us . brooke : yeah , i , uh , i hope so . ridge : you hope so ? brooke : ridge , i want to believe that you 're right about thomas . but thomas and zoe are n't married yet . thomas : you 're not gon na congratulate me ? [ beth fusses ] hope : i need to go check on beth . [ beth continues fussing ] thomas : hey , bud . here . ooh - wah . sit right here . thanks for coming down . douglas : where 's mommy ? thomas : oh , she 's -- she 's just in the other room with beth . hey , you know , i have an , uh , important job for you . douglas : for your wedding with zoe ? thomas : look , i , uh , i know how you feel about that . all right ? and the only thing that 's gon na stop that from happening is if hope marries me instead . now , hope 's your mommy , and , as her son , you are the only person who can convince her the three of us should be a family . and you want that , do n't you ? douglas : yes . thomas : then make it happen . yeah . [ chuckles ] steffy : i 'm sorry . i know you feel shocked , but ... liam : uh , h - how ... did you even let this happen ? steffy : i know . i feel terrible for misleading you . for all the problems i caused you with hope . but ... that kiss ... thomas staged it . he knew hope could see us , and i ... i know it was wrong , liam , and i feel guilty . it 's been eating away at me every day since it happened , but ... so now you know . you 've been right about thomas all along . shauna : even though brooke and ridge are n't living together , he still has n't filed divorce papers . flo : well , do you know if he wants to work out their issues ? shauna : their one major hurdle is thomas . i mean , brooke does n't support his relationship with his son , and there 's no compromise on her end , and i understand why he 's frustrated . flo : wait . hold on . speaking of thomas , you heard about him and zoe being engaged , right ? shauna : uh , i heard it was a big to - do . flo : okay , but first of all , i ca n't even believe that they 're a couple after everything we went through . and now they 're engaged ? and -- and from what i heard , they 're getting married really soon . it 's crazy . shauna : maybe brooke finally realized that ridge is not wrong about his son . brooke : you do n't think it 's kind of sudden ? ridge : the wedding ? brooke : well , they just got engaged , right ? so what 's the rush ? ridge : this is a very important day for thomas . why ca n't you just be happy for him ? brooke : i just do n't understand this engagement . ridge : mm - hmm . brooke : not at all . i mean , it seems like a spectacle to me . and you saw what it did to douglas , how he felt about it , how upset he was . i am just concerned , ridge . i 'm concerned that this is a ploy of thomas ' to get hope . steffy : i hurt you . and i ca n't tell you how much that kills me . liam : oh , wow . i -- you know , i kept thinking back , trying to make sense of that moment . steffy : it does n't make sense . it doesn't . what i did was awful , kissing you like that , knowing hope could see us . what i did to you and hope was unfair . but now you know the truth . you two deserve to be together . ke were right all along . thomas wants hope , and he 'll do anything to get her . thomas : so remember what to say . get her to stop the wedding so she 'll be with us . got it ? hope : well , hey , sweetie . i did n't know you were already back down here . thomas : yeah , it 's pretty , uh , pretty awesome having my , uh , my little sport here spending some time together before the big day , before we start our whole new family . douglas : i do n't want you to marry zoe . hope : i do n't know . i mean , a wedding can be fun . like your dad said , you get to wear that cool tuxedo , and there 's lots and lots of yummy cake . douglas : i like zoe , but i love you . hope : and i love you , too , sweetie . but i do think zoe cares about you . douglas : i do n't care . i want you to marry daddy tomorrow instead . please , mommy . we can be a family if you can just marry daddy . please . hope : douglas , your dad is marrying zoe . douglas : but he wants you . thomas : no , bud . of -- of course . of course i care about hope . but she does n't want to marry me . douglas : but we could all be so happy together , us and beth . just say yes . say you 'll marry daddy . [ phone rings ] [ ring ] [ ring ] [ beep ] hope : hi . liam : hey , are you with thomas ? hope : yes . liam : so listen , you 're gon na have to trust me on this , but i need you to come to steffy 's house right now , right away , because ... our whole future depends on it . [ beep ] hope : douglas , sweetie , i do n't want you to worry . you and your sister , you will always be my first priority , and we will figure it out , all right ? but i -- i just -- i have to run out real quick , and i need to go find my mom to watch beth . thomas : we can watch beth . hope : are you sure ? until she comes back ? thomas : of course , of course . plus , it gives , uh , douglas and me some time to talk about the wedding . hope : okay . right . great . thank you . thomas : sure . flo : but do you think thomas can actually be trusted now ? shauna : his dad thinks so . flo : okay , well , that 's not saying a whole lot , mom . i mean , i could rob a bank , and you would still think i was perfect . shauna : well , of course . you 're always gon na be perfect to my eyes . flo : right . which is exactly why ridge 's opinion is not exactly unbiased in the situation . shauna : oh , still , brooke 's his wife . i mean , she should stand by him and show some forgiveness . enough time has gone by since the -- the beth debacle . i mean , i 'm not excusing what thomas did , but everyone else is moving on . flo : i do n't know . is n't it just so weird to you that zoe and thomas are moving on together ? shauna : i mean , do you think he 's really gon na go through with the wedding ? shauna : i 've already had that nightmare . even though i would lose what little chance i have with him , i know it 's what he wants . and i have to be okay with it . flo : well , that 's very big of you , mom . shauna : i 'm not saying it would n't hurt , but i want him happy . and if he really feels that brooke is his forever , then i would be happy for him . flo : aw . well , you know you always have me , right ? shauna : [ chuckles ] yes . and thank god for that . flo : we 're kind of stuck together . shauna : we are . you 're stuck with your mom . sorry . [ laughs ] ridge : you ... you 're stubborn as an ox . at least you 're my ox . i love you . brooke : well , i 've been called worse . ridge : yeah , by me . can we just try to put this behind us ? i mean , maybe agree that thomas has gotten a little bit better , tiny bit better . start there . brooke : i 'm sorry , ridge . i mean , i wish i could , but i just have n't seen enough . ridge : you have n't seen it because you 're not looking for it . but this -- this is our chance to be back together . this is what we need , so why -- why is it so hard for you to meet me in the middle ? you know how much i miss you , how much i miss us , and i love you ? come on . brooke : mm . ooh . liam : hope needs to hear the truth , but i think ... i think she should hear it from you . steffy : i agree . i should be the one to tell her . liam : it just , um ... i want you to know , uh , i 'm st -- you know , i 'm still processing this , but i know that thomas took advantage of you . i know that you did n't have time to think things through and if you had , it would n't have gone the way that it did . steffy : it 's not like i did n't want to kiss you , liam . i mean , you know how i feel about you . this picture on the wall is a constant reminder of what we can be sharing with kelly , but i would never want it to go down like this , not because of thomas based on his lies , machinations . liam : well , i blame him a whole lot more than i would ever blame you . [ door opens ] hope : hi . i got here as fast as i could . what 's wrong ? is kelly okay ? liam : kelly -- kelly 's okay . kelly 's fine . i ... just learned something , and , um , i think you should hear it . hope : okay . steffy : it 's my fault . it 's my fault . i did something i should n't have . i brought pain into your life and to liam 's life . i made him miss out on precious time with beth , and for that i 'm -- i am incredibly sorry . i 'm hoping that hearing me out will fix things . you 'll give liam a chance . you 'll take him home ... start your future with your family . i 'm leah and that 's me long before shauna : oh , we keep bumping into each other . ridge : ohh . shauna : [ chuckles ] ridge : shauna . ha ha . shauna : you are an amazing man , ridge forrester . ridge : can i do something ? shauna : sure . brooke : uh , it 's a text from hope . apparently , uh , douglas and thomas are down in the cabin with beth right now , and she wants me to go down there and watch her . so i 'd better go . i do n't really feel comfortable leaving thomas alone with beth . ridge : right , because he 's the boogeyman . brooke : no . no . it 's 'cause she 's a little baby . ridge : [ sighs ] okay . but before you go ... just know i want to be with you . i want to be in your life , in your house , in your bed , starting tonight . brooke : i want that , too . i adore you . it 's just that i do n't have confidence in thomas and this wedding . ridge : why are you being so rigid ? why ca n't you have some faith in me and my son ? brooke : ridge , i 'm trying . really . i 'm doing my best . okay ? ridge : okay . brooke : i got to go . ridge : wait . okay . this is n't gon na break us . thomas is gon na marry zoe tomorrow . we 're gon na get back to being us . brooke : okay . ridge : okay . i love you . thomas : well , we ca n't leave until brooke gets here , and she seems to be taking her sweet time . douglas : do you think mommy 's gon na marry you ? thomas : well , that -- that depends on whether you got through to her or not . but i think that hope is having a huge epiphany right now . i think she 's gon na realize she 's been completely wrong about me . steffy : do you remember the day after liam proposed to you and you came here to speak to him ? hope : of course i remember . i wanted to find some sort of resolution so we could spend the rest of our lives together , but obviously that ended the moment i saw the two of you kissing . steffy : well , there 's more to the story , hope . hope : and that was a rather painful day for me , so i would just really like to not relive it . liam : thomas was involved . hope : what ? steffy : he realized you were on the way , and he tried to stop you . hope : but i never even saw thomas . steffy : he was following you . he knew liam was already here , and he called me to warn me that you were on the way to accept the proposal , and he demanded that i do anything to put a end to the two of you . that 's when the plan was put into motion . hope : what plan ? steffy : thomas said he would call me and that would be the signal . hope : the signal ? steffy , what are you ... steffy : the phone rang , and i kissed liam , knowing that you could see us . it was staged , hope . i initiated the kiss . it 's not liam 's fault . so now you know the truth . that kiss was a manipulation by me and my brother . liam did n't betray you . he loves you . he 's always loved you . | at the beach house , liam is in shock , since steffy has just told him all about thomas staging the kiss , and her part in it . after asking some questions and phoning hope , liam tells steffy that he knows that thomas took advantage of her . she points out that it 's not like she did n't want to kiss him and reminds him of the big poster of them on the wall . he knows how she feels about him , but she did n't want him like this ... because of thomas . he blames thomas , not her . back at the cottage , thomas informs hope that he and zoe are getting married tomorrow . she 's concerned that douglas has n't had enough time to process things . he points out yet again that hope does n't want to be a family with him and douglas , so this is what he has to do . hope leaves the room to check on beth . douglas comes in . thomas sits down with him and tells him that the only way he wo n't marry zoe is if hope agrees to marry him instead . he basically tells douglas to do whatever he has to - to change hope 's mind . hope returns , so thomas mentions the wedding again . douglas whines again that he wants hope to marry his dad , so they can be a family , not zoe . just then , liam phones hope and asks her to come over right away , so she does . she tells thomas she has to go out , and he offers to stay with douglas and beth until brooke comes over . hope goes to the beach house , so steffy tells her what happened - that thomas manipulated the situation , and she kissed liam , knowing that hope was there . she apologizes for what she did and hopes that liam and hope can get back together and have their family . she tells her that liam never stopped loving her . meanwhile , thomas tells douglas that he thinks that hope is about to realize that she should marry him . |
