brooke : i do n't mean to undermine you . rick : you just told the woman that i love not to marry me . brooke : marrying taylor would be a mistake for both of you . rick : no , mom , marrying taylor would just make you really uncomfortable . brooke : this is n't about me . rick : the hell it is n't . mom , if this did n't affect you , you would n't have a damn thing to say about it . taylor , please , do n't let her get into your head . do not let her talk you into saying `` no `` to me . taylor : rick , rick , you know i care about you . you are very important to me , okay ? i just regained custody of my baby . this is one of the happiest days of my life . i do n't really want to stand here arguing with your mother . i just want to -- let 's go home . rick : okay . well , let 's -- let 's go get jack . taylor : um , would you mind , though , if i went and i -- and i did that on my own ? is that okay ? rick : oh , yes , of course , completely . taylor : okay , so i 'll meet you at the house ? rick : well , yeah , if you want me there , there 's no place i 'd rather be . taylor : ( chuckles ) taylor : uh , think about what i said , brooke . think about your own family . get your priorities straight . brooke : damn it . ( exhales deeply ) [ scene_break ] katie : so i know you were hoping that storm would be able to draw up those papers tonight . nick : tomorrow 's fine . katie : okay . are you all right ? are you worried about sending jack home with taylor ? nick : no . what i 'm worried about is your brother . i heard what he said to you . is it true ? did he shoot stephanie and frame your old man for it ? is storm the shooter ? katie : yes , but , nick , you ca n't say anything . nick : oh , okay . just curious how ashley abbott would feel if she knew the truth . ( soft jazz music playing ) ridge : he confessed . he shot my mother and then set his own father up to take the fall . storm : i hope you 're thinking about me . ashley : ohh . storm : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i - i guess i should have knocked , but the patio door was open . ( sighs ) ashley : what are you doing here , storm ? storm : uh , right , um , well , we did n't finish our conversation at the lab , and i just wanted to tell you that there 's , uh , some things you need to know about me , ashley . the first one is ... ( sighs ) when i care about somebody , i ca n't give up on them . and i 'm not giving up on you . [ scene_break ] ridge : hey , logan . brooke : hi . thanks for putting the kids to bed . ridge : they wanted me to call you so that they could say `` good night . `` i figured your cell phone was probably off in the courtroom . that 's where you were , right , taylor 's hearing ? how 'd it go ? brooke : ( sighs ) taylor regained custody . she 's over at nick 's right now picking up jack . [ scene_break ] katie : ( sighs ) look , i - i know this must come as a shock to you , but this is my family 's secret . so -- ( doorbell rings ) taylor : is jack ready ? i 'm here to take him home . storm : oh , i 'm so sorry . you 're not wearing your earrings . actually , you 're not wearing much of anything . ( chuckles ) ashley : i was just in the hot tub , trying to unwind a little bit . storm : yeah , yeah , i 've had a pretty stressful day myself , actually . ashley : so i was gon na head up and , um , take a shower , you know , go to bed . storm : you 're not waiting up for abby ? is she at a friend 's house or in genoa city with her father ? ashley : you know , i 'm not -- i 'm not comfortable having this conversation with you right now . storm : something 's wrong , huh ? ashley : well , yeah , you kind of freaked me out when you snuck up on me . storm : well , you 're lucky it was me . anybody could have just , uh , come in off the beach . ashley : yeah , you 're -- you 're right . so i 'm gon na make sure and lock the door as soon as you go . storm : yeah , ashley , first there 's something i need to tell you , something you already may know about me . [ scene_break ] taylor : have you thought about the visitation schedule ? nick : storm is gon na draw up some papers , and we can work on the details later . do n't have to worry about it tonight . taylor : do n't have to worry about it ? that 's all i 've been doing for the last few months since he was born . i do n't know what it 'll be like to not worry about anything . that 'll be strange . nick : you know i never meant to keep you from jack . taylor : no , i - i know you were just looking out for him . nick : and i 'll always do that . so i - i have a question , if i may . what are your intentions with rick ? taylor : i do n't know . all i do know is that whatever i 'm doing with my life , it will never be detrimental to jack . raising that little boy and taking care of him is the most important thing to me . that 's all that matters . taylor : i messed up , nick -- our marriage . nick : ( sighs ) taylor , do n't . taylor : no , i did , i did . i just -- i do n't want you to remember anything but just bad memories . i want you to remember the good part . if i had just been able to get past brooke and her role in this whole thing . but i want to promise you that i 'm not going to let anything interfere with me being a mother ever again . i just need to know that you believe that . taylor : i 'm so sorry it ended like this . nick : well , we are where we are . ( laughs ) you know , we have a job now , and that 's to be the best parents we can be to jack , and the rest 'll just take care of itself . taylor : yeah . we 'll raise him together , but in separate homes . katie : look who woke up . taylor : ( gasps ) nick : hey . taylor : oh , my baby . katie : there 's your mommy . there you go . taylor : my beautiful , beautiful baby boy . mmm . i missed you so much . [ scene_break ] ridge : well , i 'm glad taylor got her son back . i know that 's not what you want to hear . but if the courts see her fit enough to get custody , there 's not a lot we can argue with . brooke : i want to see him , ridge . i do n't want to disappear from jack 's life . ridge : logan , you wo n't . brooke : ( sighs ) well , i asked taylor to consider it . ridge : i 'll talk to her , too , if you think it 'll help . brooke : would you ? ridge : yeah , with steffy and phoebe not living at home anymore , there 's not a lot of occasion for me to go over there . but with taylor living alone with jack , maybe she 'd appreciate the , uh , company now and then . brooke : unfortunately , i do n't think that taylor 's going to be living alone in that house with jack , and i do n't think she 's as fit as the courts think she is . ridge : well , she 's not drinking anymore . she 's gettin ' her life together , focusing on her son . brooke : taylor and rick are engaged . ridge : what ? brooke : rick asked taylor to marry him . [ scene_break ] ( party horn blows ) taylor : ( chuckles ) rick : welcome home , jack ! ( laughs ) taylor : mmm . rick : welcome home . taylor : sweetie . rick : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] katie : okay , well , thanks for taking care of that . all right , thanks . bye . sorry . it was the office . you know , jack 's gon na be okay . nick : i 'm not worried about jack . i would n't let him leave if i did n't think he was safe . your brother , on the other hand -- do you think ashley abbott 's safe with this guy on the loose ? katie : oh , come on , he 's getting help . he 's getting better . i - there 's nothing to worry about . nick : what do you mean , there 's nothing to worry about ? what , are we blind here ? he shot somebody . how do you think ashley abbott would feel if she knew the man she was dating was guilty of attempted murder ? [ scene_break ] ashley : whatever you have to tell me you can tell me tomorrow at work , okay ? storm : no , no , ashley , i 've waited long enough . please ? look , i do n't want there to be any secrets between us , no -- no holding back . look , ashley , um , i 'm a flawed man . i did something a while back where i gave in to my rage , against my father and against the forresters . you see , i had to just , um , i had to sit and watch while my family suffered at the hands of stephanie forrester . my father could n't do anything to protect us because he had left us . and he left me to defend my sisters . it just -- it broke my heart to see them getting humiliated over and over again , and i just ... ( laughs ) believe me when i tell you i could n't take it anymore . i had to do something . i had to do something to stop it . now it was n't anything i 'd planned . it just happened . but i did see an opportunity to avenge my family against stephanie forrester and put my father in his place , so i took it . ashley ... ( sighs ) i picked up a gun , and i shot her . i was the one , ashley . i was the one who shot stephanie forrester . [ scene_break ] ridge : this ca n't be true . brooke : ( scoffs ) it is . rick proposed . ridge : when ? brooke : i do n't know . ridge : and you just found this out ? brooke : he stood up in court and announced it to everybody . ridge : logan , this has got ta be some kind of ploy for the sake of the court . there 's no way taylor would have accepted . she ca n't . [ scene_break ] taylor : how many nights did i dream of this ? rick : is it everything you thought it would be ? taylor : it 's better because it 's real . rick : those are happy tears , right ? ( laughs ) taylor : it just breaks my heart how much time i wasted wrapped up in fear and pain and wasting precious moments like this . rick : well , it 's all behind you . you have your son back now . taylor : and that 's the way it 's going to stay . ( sniffles ) nothing 's coming between us ever again . is n't that right , jack ? rick : oh . jack : aah . taylor : that 's right . it 's just -- just us . that 's right . rick : the three of us . taylor : you know , the three of us might not be sitting here right now if it had n't been for you supporting me . jack : ( fussing ) rick : oh , no , i do n't know about that . jack : aah . rick : ( laughs ) no , i - i believe that you would have gotten to this point with or without my help . i 'm just happy that i 'm here . i 'm grateful that i 'm here to witness this . it 's such a beautiful sight . taylor : ( exhales deeply ) thank god he 's so young . hopefully , he wo n't remember any of this . rick : no ... taylor : ( laughs ) rick : definitely wo n't . ( laughs ) jack : ( cooing ) taylor : i finally have what i really wanted -- just peace , just real peace without your mother 's shadow hanging over my head . rick : ( laughs ) taylor : what 's so funny ? rick : that -- what you just said about -- about my mother . taylor : um , your mother 's interference in my life has hardly been anything , you know , funny . rick : no , i - i kn -- i know . what -- what -- what i meant was is that , um , i do n't think any other woman on the face of the planet has intimidated my mother more than you , except for maybe stephanie or something . taylor : me ? rick : yeah . well , think about it . you 're so -- you 're so smart , i mean , and talented , and -- and you have so much love and -- and compassion for people . people respect you . taylor : yeah , saint taylor , right ? rick : yeah . but you strip away the -- the perfect veneer , and i think you 're even more beautiful . taylor : oh , i 'm far from perfect . rick : well , nobody 's perfect , taylor . although , for the better part of my life , i thought you were . taylor : well , i had a lot of people fooled . now you know better . rick : ( scoffs ) yeah . hey , give me your hand . you know what i do know ? is how much i love you and how much i want you to be my wife . rick : taylor , as happy as you are in this moment , you make me even happier , ten times happier . jack : aah . rick : will you marry me ? [ scene_break ] ridge : she wo n't say `` yes . `` brooke : i practically begged her not to . the way things look , it probably wo n't the most effective approach . ridge : she would n't marry him just to spite you . what am i saying ? she 's not going to marry him at all . this is absurd . he 's our daughter 's ex - boyfriend . if phoebe found out rick was involved , it would destroy her relationship with taylor . she wo n't risk that . brooke : i hope you 're right . for everyone involved , including jack . if taylor is going to be the mother to jack she needs to be , she has to make healthy decisions and wise choices . nobody knows that better than i do . ridge : jack 's going to be okay . so will rick . brooke : i just always want -- he just always wanted to protect the women in his life . he 's been like that since he was a little boy . ridge : logan , this is not your fault . rick came to taylor in a very emotional time in her life , but she 's got her son back now . hopefully this is n't going any further . [ scene_break ] rick : marry me , taylor . please say you 'll marry me . taylor : rick -- rick : c 'm on ! do n't tell me you need to think about this . taylor : i do . rick : well , because of what my mom said to you at the courthouse ? taylor : well , she did have a few points . rick : she thinks that you 're just with me for revenge . taylor : well , i ca n't deny i do enjoy watching her squirm . rick : yes . i guess based on your history , i ca n't say i blame you . but , taylor -- every time i look at you , and you look at me , i do n't see a trace of vengeance in your eyes . did you just say that you love me because you were putting on an act ? taylor : no . i told you that it 's real . i do love you , rick . rick : well , that 's just not good enough for me . i want to be your husband . taylor : well , any commitment you 'd be making to me , you 'd also be making to jack . rick : i know this . look , if you ask me if i 'm ready to be this little guy 's stepfather , then the answer is yes . and i 'm not just being naive , all right ? i understand full well that there 's going to be opposition and complications and diversity , but that does not change the fact that i love you , and i want to make a life with you . taylor : and jack . rick : yes . taylor : and thomas , and steffy , and phoebe . rick : yes , yes , yes , and yes . a thousand times yes ! just say yes to me . taylor : rick , i ca n't just make a decision like this , like , right now . i have to think about it . i have to talk to my family , especially my children , and especially phoebe . rick : okay . all right . you 're right . i 'll tell you what , i will hold on to this , and you take all the time you need . you talk to your family , you explain things to phoebe , and when the time is right , i 'm gon na put this ring on your finger , and you and jack here and i will prove to the entire world that happily - ever - afters do not just happen in fairytales . [ scene_break ] katie : my brother 's not a criminal . nick : i just heard him , and you confirmed it . he just has n't been caught yet . katie : no , no . stephanie had the police drop the case . she 's let it go . now let 's not dredge all this up . it 's over . nick : katie , you 're loyal to your brother , i understand . katie : no , you do n't . you do n't understand . you do n't know what storm has been through . you do n't know how he 's sacrificed for my sisters and for me . if anyone deserves a second chance , he does , and stephanie has given it to him . now , i know you 're worried about ashley , but you do n't need to be . storm would never hurt anyone he cares about . [ scene_break ] storm : so , uh , there you have it . my big -- my big secret . i shot stephanie . you really do n't seem that surprised . ashley : [ laughs nervously ] i - i just do n't know what to say . storm : what do you mean , you do n't know what to say ? of course you do . you know what to say because you already knew . you already knew because ridge told you . why -- why -- why are you playing these games with me , ashley ? why -- why are you lying to me ? did n't i tell you , i really hate it when people lie to me .	brooke assures rick that she is not trying to undermine him . he points out she is when she stood there and asked taylor not to marry him . taylor tells him this has turned out to be one of the happiest days of her life and she does n't want to stand here arguing with his mother . she wants to go home and be with her baby . she hopes he wo n't mind if she goes to nick 's and does that alone . she reminds brooke to remember what she said think about her own family ; get her priorities straight . a pensive nick asks katie if what he heard storm say was true , he shot stephanie ? stunned , she admits yes , but nick ca n't say anything . before he can say more , taylor comes to pick up jack . he 's curious how ashley would feel about that truth . meanwhile ashley is pouring herself a glass of wine when poof , up pops storm through the patio door and she drops her glass . he comments he knows he should have knocked , but it was open . she tries to get rid of him , but he states they did not finish their earlier conversation . there are some things she needs to know about him . one is that when he cares about someone , he wo n't give up on them and he is not going to give up on her . he asks questions to find out if she is alone or waiting for abby . she is uncomfortable and does n't want to have this conversation . nick tells taylor that storm is working on the visitation papers ; he 'd like to know what her intentions are with rick . she 's honest and says she does not know , but she does know whatever she does it will never ever be detrimental to jack again . she apologizes for messing up their marriage . she does n't want him to just remember the bad times , and nothing will interfere again with her being jack 's mother and she hopes nick believes that . he hugs her and says they have a job now to be the best parents ever and the rest will take care of itself . ridge tells brooke that he will talk to taylor and try to convince her to let brooke see more of jack . brooke confides that taylor may not be living alone in the house ; she and rick are engaged . ridge ca n't believe that taylor would go along with this , it must be some ploy for the court .
rick : steffy , please . this is not as big of a deal as you think it is . steffy : you do n't think so ? rick : no , i do n't . your parents set me up . both of them . steffy : hmm . really ? how did they do that ? rick : your father provoked me . he secretly recorded my responses . they 're -- they 're desperate , steffy . why ca n't you see that ? steffy : `` desperate . `` rick : yes , desperate . your parents would do anything and everything to prevent us from getting married . that 's what this is , steffy . but our love is way beyond this . please , do not let anything stand in our way . not now . [ scene_break ] brooke : hi , guys . ( sighs ) katie : hey . brooke : have you seen ridge around ? katie : have n't you seen him since the shower ? brooke : no . have you ? katie : no . brooke : what ? katie : well , he and taylor came by after you left . brooke : to the shower ? katie : yeah , it was already over . rick and steffy had already gone . brooke : what did they want ? katie : i do n't know . donna : but they seemed pretty stressed out . [ scene_break ] ridge : i do n't know how much more of this i can take . taylor : we have to trust steffy . ridge : yeah , we did that before . look where it got us . taylor : ( sighs ) ridge : maybe we should just go in there and have it out . taylor : no , ridge . ridge . steffy insisted on handling this alone . ridge : you know the kind of spin he 's gon na put on this , right ? taylor : we have to believe she 'll know that , too . [ scene_break ] rick : ( sighs ) ( chuckles ) oh , i can not believe your parents . they 're acting like a bunch of spies -- secretly recording conversations , tricking me into saying things that i did n't mean . steffy : so my dad tricked you ? is that your take on this ? rick : yes . yes , he tricked me , okay ? think about it . pushing my buttons . provoking me to say things , and -- and -- and getting the responses that he wanted . yeah , i do n't remember half the stuff i said . steffy : well , do you want to hear it ? it 's -- it 's right here . rick : no . god , no . i do n't want to hear that . ( chuckles ) steffy : why not ? rick : ( sighs ) steffy : you seem to think it 's pretty funny . rick : listen , steffy , i know you must be very upset with your parents right now , but think about it . in a -- in a very bizarre way , they 're just protecting you from the big , bad guy who happens to be crazy about you . and i am . you know i am . maybe i have n't told you enough , but it 's because i do n't know how to express my feelings . what -- what i mean is , i do n't know how to express how i feel about you in words . rick : ( recording ) steffy is not your little girl anymore . i own her . do you hear what i 'm saying to you , ridge ? i own her , and there 's not a damn thing you can do to change that . ridge , can you believe this ? the irony in this situation ? that -- that steffy has fallen madly in love with me of all people , and you hate me more than anybody else in this entire world . and i have steffy eating out of my hands . and if you keep fighting us , if you make us miserable , i will take her the hell away from here , and you will never see her again . rick : all right , i know that sounds really bad , but your father was forcing me to say those things . steffy : forced you ? hmm . what exactly did he say to force you to make that response , hmm ? you own me ? you 're gon na take me away ? he 's never gon na see me again ? wow , after everything he 's been through , that 's just plain cruel . rick : trust me . this is not what it seems . steffy : trust you ? trust you ? i - i have been trusting you ... rick : ( sighs ) steffy : to mend fences with my dad , to put all of this behind us . but this ? this is defiance and arrogance . what you said was just so ugly , and you were so in his face . rick : because he was in mine , steffy . i told you , he was deliberately pulling this stuff out of me . steffy : all right . then i 'll ask it again . how ? what did my father do to get you to say that ? what were my father 's words to cause you to disrespect me ? because that 's what this is -- total disrespect of women that you claim to love so much . rick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : taylor . when is she gon na let it go ? donna : honey , ridge was with taylor . they were both looking for steffy . brooke : ( sighs ) yes , because ridge and taylor have concerns about steffy marrying rick , but ridge is trying to get past it , and taylor is n't . ( sighs ) katie : so ridge is doing taylor 's bidding now ? brooke : well , he has been more sensitive to her , especially since phoebe died . donna : well , the ridge i saw was pretty intense . i mean , i do n't know whether it was because of taylor -- katie : is everything okay between you and ridge ? i mean , really ? brooke : yeah . yeah , everything 's okay . i mean , we have some problems , but who does n't ? katie : nothing serious ? brooke : i hope not . donna : you hope not ? brooke , what 's -- what is it ? what 's going on ? brooke : ( sighs ) i - i think ridge is just under a lot of stress . donna : is there something wrong with ridge ? it -- brooke : ridge ? no . oh , my gosh . he 's as vital and sexy as ever . and he ca n't keep his hands off me . katie : well , we were n't really talking about that . donna : ( sighs ) or maybe we are . honey , is there a problem ? ( spoon clinks on table ) brooke : ( sighs ) it seems like these issues with rick have finally come into our bedroom . katie : they have ? brooke : for the first time ever , ridge was n't in the mood . donna : oh , that -- that 's -- that 's not a big deal . my honey bear has pills for that . i 'll -- i 'll get you some . no -- no , really , they 're great . they 're -- they 're great . katie : ( groans ) brooke : ( laughs ) donna : what ? katie : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] ridge : it must have been tough playing that recording for her . taylor : ( sighs ) one of the lowest points of my life . but i know i had to do it . ridge : well , we 'll be there for her , doc . she 'll have all the support in the world from now on . taylor : i do n't want to be talking like that just yet . we do n't know how this will go . ridge : no , you 're right . right . he 's talked his way out of tight situations before , has n't he ? taylor : ( sighs ) ridge : better not do it this time , or i swear i'll [ scene_break ] rick : i never would have said those things if your father had n't been goading me . you know how he gets around me , steffy . steffy : then what did he say ? rick : i do n't remember exactly . steffy : well , do you want to hear the conversation ? i know we have the whole thing -- rick : oh , my god , come on . do n't do this now . steffy : do n't do what ? demand accountability ? you made some outrageous statements . rick : you have known for quite some time now that i have major issues with your father , most having to do with the fact that i hated the way he treated my mom when i was growing up . but i have been dealing with those issues , and i need you to help me . steffy : which i obviously have been doing , obviously with no affect . ( scoffs ) rick : i 've been getting better . this whole thing was just a damn fluke . steffy : huh . rick : ( recording ) my marriage to steffy -- it 's not about two people in love . it 's about revenge . it 's about revenge for the years of pain that you have inflicted upon my mother and me . so when i 'm saying my vows in your little destiny - westiny spot on the beach , i 'm not even gon na be looking at my bride . i 'm gon na be looking at you , poncho , and the pain etched in your face as you say `` bye - bye `` to another daughter . steffy : i suppose that 's a fluke , too ? rick : okay . all right . i understand what you 're -- what you 're thinking . i -- that was way out of control . i did -- i -- i never should have said those things . steffy : but you did , and you meant it . i can hear it in your voice . my god , rick , you are talking about a moment so sacred -- our wedding vows . and you wo n't even be looking at me . you 'll be looking at my father ? our wedding to you is all about revenge , just like what my dad said . rick : no , no , steffy . i did n't mean it . steffy : do n't ! do n't ! do n't tell me you did n't mean it , 'cause i know you damn well did . this wedding to you is all about you making my dad suffer . you just want to take pleasure in it and smile at it , and i 'm supposed to stand there and take part in this ? rick : okay , you are blowing this way , way out of proportion right now . steffy : yeah , yeah , i 've been telling myself that . and stupidly , i almost believed it until i heard that . the words that came out of your mouth are sick . you have no respect for me , rick . rick : you are taking this all way out of context . steffy : rick , there is not context of words for as cruel and as heartless as these . rick : and your father ? it 's not heartless to -- to -- to -- to treat you as a possession ? to prevent you from marrying the man that you love ? that 's not heartless ? it 's not ? steffy : no . no . that 's being a father , rick . that 's being a father when you 've lost one daughter . for you to just throw that in my father 's face when he 's still grieving over the death of my sister , for you to threaten my dad that you 'll take me away , and he 'll never see me again -- i ca n't even believe those words came out of your mouth . rick : now you just wait a second . i never meant to go there . steffy : i do n't give a damn what you meant . you are not half the man my father is . and those chicken noises ? my god . you are this sick , disturbed man . i do n't know you . i do n't want to know you , and i definitely do not want to marry you . [ scene_break ] taylor : i do n't know what to say to you . i 'm -- ( sighs ) i 'm just so thankful for the sacrifices you 're making . ridge : it does n't feel like a sacrifice to me , doc . she 's our daughter . i 'd do anything to keep her safe and away from that jerk . taylor : but i 'm grateful . ridge : i know you are . taylor : no , i do n't -- i do n't think you really understand how much , though . i do n't know how i would have gotten through this without you . i have no idea . you just ca n't imagine how -- how thankful i am that you 're here with me right now . [ scene_break ] rick : steffy , you 're -- you 're upset . and quite frankly , i do n't blame you . you have every right in the world to be mad , but you 're consumed with the negative energy around here . you need a break . why do n't we -- why do n't we go on that trip to hawaii ? steffy : ( sighs ) rick : you know , the one we were just planning ? steffy : are you serious ? are you even hearing a word i 'm saying ? you have issues , some serious issues ... rick : ( sighs ) steffy : with my father , your mother , my grandmother and just about everyone . until you sort those out , i ca n't be with you . rick : please , steffy , do n't say that . steffy : rick , i deserve better , much better , not a man who disrespects me or my father . rick : i do respect you . steffy : no , you do n't . you said you own me . that 's so disrespectful . look , you have problems ... rick : ( sighs ) steffy : but they 're your problems , not mine , so solve them . and maybe , just maybe , i -- rick : ( sighs ) wait , wait . so let me get this straight . this is all happening right now because i lost it with your father ? steffy : what ? no . it 's because i do n't matter to you . rick : that 's not true . steffy : yes , it is . look , maybe you 're not even aware of it . but i am not the main focus . your main focus is about revenge and payback . for you to look at our wedding as the final knife in my father 's back , i just -- rick : i do n't see it that way ! steffy : oh , okay . do you want to hear the recording again ? rick : oh , god . just -- steffy : because this is your words , your feelings , your hatred . i need to come first to the man that i marry , and i obviously do n't come first to you . i do n't even know what your feelings are . i thought you loved me . rick : i do . steffy : no , you do n't . you do n't even know what love is , because you used me , and i wo n't be used . it 's over rick . please leave . rick : i 'm not goin ' anywhere . [ scene_break ] taylor : to know that i 'm not alone in this and have your full support , it 's -- it 's huge . ridge : you really think i was gon na let you fight my battles with rick ? it is my battle , you know . taylor : but it 's our daughter . ridge : i can only hope we taught her well . taylor : taught her what ? ridge : to respect herself and not to cave in every time some guy turns on some fake charm . taylor : well , i know one thing for sure is steffy respects her father a great deal , and she is not going to tolerate the way he spoke about you on that recording . ridge : he 's not going to give up too easily . you know that . taylor : well , she is n't going to tolerate him using her , either . she 's too proud and stubborn . ridge : just like her dad . taylor : yes , thank god . [ scene_break ] steffy : rick , beat it . there is nothing more to say . rick : yes , there is . steffy : well , i do n't want to hear it . rick : you 're right . steffy : oh , great . another con job , right ? rick : everything i said on that recording about you , about your father was all wrong . it was sick , and it was twisted , and i regret it . steffy : fine . apologize . that does n't change anything . rick : i am not the man on that recording , steffy . you know that . at least , i do n't want to be . steffy : well , then change . why do n't you go off somewhere and make yourself a better person ? rick : i tried that . steffy : oh , wait , no . you pretended to try . oh , like when you joined the army , and you knew you were gon na get rejected . all about manipulation , just like this is . rick : oh , god , come on . all right , fine . you -- you know what ? i can understand how you would think that . hell , it -- it might even be true , because everything i 've done as of late as been for effect . i admit that . because i 've wanted you to see me differently from the way i see myself . steffy : rick , you have some good qualities , but you ignore them . you go into this dark space where you dwell on rejection and hatred . rick : you 're absolutely right . i 'm consumed with hatred ... for myself . that 's the root of the problem . i have put on a facade for you , and you could n't see it , because i did n't want you to see it . when i first felt what it was i felt for you , it -- i ca n't even describe it . i wanted to be the man that you deserve , but i did n't know what that was . i did n't know who that was . so i did the only thing i knew how -- i turned on the charm , because i ooze charm . steffy : yeah , and i fell for it . rick : it almost worked . steffy : no , rick , it did n't almost work . i was n't attracted to you because of your charm . i was attracted to you because of your goodness . maybe it 's in there . maybe you 'll find it someday . i do n't know . rick : so help me . help me find it . i can be a good , decent man for you . just give another chance . steffy : i do n't trust you . rick : then let me earn back your trust . you 're the best thing in my life -- the only thing . steffy : i am not a `` thing . `` i am a woman that needs to be cherished , and you did n't do that . and i do n't think you ever will . rick : do n't -- ( sighs ) i can do that . i swear i can . look , i 'll tell you what . you give me another shot , and i cross the line , you wo n't have to tell me to leave . steffy : oh , my -- rick : i will walk out that door all by myself , 'cause that will prove to me that i am incapable of changing . steffy : rick , i do n't want to be with someone who have to help them find a sense of who they are . you need help . rick : okay , i -- fine . i get it . it -- it 's hard to love somebody who ca n't love them self . steffy , what i did was -- was vile . it was horrible . i 'm embarrassed by it . but in a -- in a twisted way , i - i 'm almost glad it happened , because i learned a very valuable lesson , one that i 'm never gon na forget . if you give me another opportunity , i swear to you , i will be the man that you thought i was . if this has meant even half to you what it 's meant to me , what we 've shared so far , then we have got to give this another try . we can not let this go . forgive me , steffy . please . give me one more chance .	rick begs steffy not to let anything stand in their way now . her parents are desperate and they set him up . ridge provoked him and tricked him to get these responses on tape . he knows she must be upset , but her parents just wanted to protect her from the big bad wolf . steffy makes him listen to the tape where he says that he owns steffy and has her eating out of his hands , and he will take steffy away if her parents persist to break them up . she says she trusted rick to make amends with her dad , but this is just cruel and defiant . she points out that her dad said nothing to get rick to disrespect her this way . she says rick made some outrageous statements , but it was all rick , nothing from her dad to provoke it . his words say it all . those words are heartless and she hears it in his voice that he does mean them . she rants that he is not half the man her father is . she does not know rick , she does not want to know him and she definitely does not want to marry him . ridge tells taylor that he is not sure how much more of this he can take . this must be hard on steffy , but they will be there for her . rick 's talked his way out of things before , but it better not work this time .

( sighs ) was just leaving this for rick . missed you at bikini last night . hope : hmm . i 'm sure you did . steffy : yeah , liam seemed really concerned when you did n't show . i mean , what happened ? hope : i 've explained it all to him . steffy : okay . you know , liam 's been really worried about you -- the whole incident at the pool , your little argument . it 's got ta be hard to take -- your girlfriend having these crazy mood swings . hope : we 're working through all that . steffy : good . i hear you 're making an effort at least . hey , do n't get all stressed out on my account . it 's good that you 're getting help . hope : steffy , are you trying to hint at something ? steffy : i know you 're seeing a psychiatrist . you need a little extra oomph to get you through the day , huh ? but do n't worry . it 's no big deal . your secret 's safe with me . liam could see what he 's walking away from . bill : or walking to . i want to ask you a question professionally . taylor : sure . bill : antianxiety meds ... ( sighs ) pretty common for you to prescribe them ? taylor : in times of stress , yeah . it can be very beneficial for someone . it depends on the patient and the circumstances . bill : ( inhales sharply ) taylor : do you want ... bill : ( sighs ) taylor : to make an appointment ? bill : what ? appoint -- oh , me ? no . it 's not about me . i 'm perfect . you know that . hope , on the other hand -- nuts , cuckoo , on the verge of cracking and dragging my son down with her . taylor : this is exactly what your son wanted -- to find out how things would be with hope , and so if he 's unhappy -- bill : walking on eggshells for her , the -- the -- the -- this pill - popping woman who keeps running to her shrink every other second . taylor : well , that 's not all such a bad thing . bill : i do n't want him spending one more moment with hope . she has never really made him happy , and i do n't even know why he thinks it 's possible . taylor : well , it 's true . he was much happier with steffy . bill : well , they were great together . and she was n't freaking out every time a reporter looked at her sideways . taylor : well , i - i do n't want to encourage the way you 're talking about hope 's issues . i already know what you believe about therapy and what it says about other people who seek it . bill : right , but ... taylor : but i do n't disagree with you . liam was in a much better place when he was with steffy . it 's just that the way -- the way i would say it is that if hope does n't get some help , if she does n't get a handle on her emotional issues , she has no business making a marriage commitment . things wo n't get any better . it will only get worse . and i would n't wish that on liam . bill : you know what ? i want hope to get the help she needs in a nice padded facility far away from my son . he will go running back to steffy so fast . taylor : well , all three of them would be much better off . look , i want you to know that i - i really do appreciate what your son has brought to steffy 's life , and i want to see them together . i just -- i do n't know how . hope : it 's not a secret . i 've been seeing a psychiatrist . so what ? steffy : you know , my mom 's a shrink . i do n't find fault in anyone needing professional help -- you know , a - a little medication -- hope : yeah , i do n't know what you 've heard about that , steffy , but , um , i 'm not taking pills anymore . steffy : oh , really ? are they -- are they not working for you ? 'cause maybe you just need to talk to your doctor . hope : no , i just do n't need them . steffy : uh - huh . so you 're just over your anxiety just like that ? hope : no . i have liam . he is all the support that i need . yeah , this is a very difficult time for me , because someone is making it so i ca n't marry the man that i love . but i do n't need pills to get me through it . liam gets me through it . so bring on the stress , steffy . give me all you 've got . i really do n't care . liam and i are moving on with our lives , and every day is another day closer to your divorce being final . hope : the tie between you two is all but gone , and thinking about that just helps my stress float away . steffy : our marriage will be over soon ... maybe . but do n't kid yourself . that tie ... will always be there . liam : hey , hope , i , uh ... steffy . hope : hi . steffy : hi . liam : hi . hope : what 's going on ? liam : are you okay ? hope : uh - huh . i 'm fine . liam : um , okay , i can come back later if you 're -- if you 're busy . steffy : no , i was -- i 'm -- i 'm just running out . it was , uh , good seeing you last night . liam : you , too . steffy : i 'll see you in aspen . liam : yeah , um ... hope and me both . hope : what ? steffy : wait , what ? liam : it 's what i came here to ask you . do you want to come ? hope : i do n't know . i mean -- liam : come with me . hope : there will be so much press . i do n't know if i can handle all the questions and accusations and -- liam : do n't worry about that . hope : my line ca n't afford any more bad press right now . liam : you leave that to me . i 've got a plan . steffy : sounds like we 'll all be there together again . this should be fun . bill : they 're all going to aspen -- steffy , liam , and the crackpot . taylor : what are you thinking , bill bill : sometimes in life , you just need a nudge . bill : aspen 's the key . ( sighs ) it worked before . it 'll work again hope : so what 's the plan ? i do n't want to go to aspen and have to face a bunch of reporters . liam : you wo n't . hope : it 's fashion week . liam : we 'll stay at my dad 's place . it 's tucked away in the woods , secluded , romantic . nobody will ever see us . i 'll cover fashion week . you do n't have to go with me . you do n't even have to leave the house . i mean , you 've been so bombarded left and right by reporters here in l.a . it 's -- it 's such a strain on you . hope : ( sighs ) liam : you deserve a break . so let 's get out of here . come with me . hope : our own private retreat , just the two of us .

hope : i think this is a good time to tell you that ... liam wants to make me dinner tonight . wyatt : uh ... like a date ? hope : yeah . uh , he says that if i 'm going to date you , then i have to date him , too . wyatt : [ chuckling ] what ? th -- that 's crazy . hope : basically , if i show up at his house tonight , then that means we 're dating . and if i do n't , it means that he 's done ... and he and i are over ... for good . wyatt : hope , do n't do it . do n't go to liam 's . we have something special here . i do n't want to lose it , and -- and i do n't think you want to , either . send him a message . tell him it 's over . tell him that your future is with me now .	although it 's only been one night since he asked , liam calls hope to remind her of their date tonight . she hesitates . he says if she comes , great , but if she does n't , he has to move on . quinn tells wyatt that if he is not careful he is going to lose hope forever . liam is ready to make his move . he barks at her that he can handle this just fine without her . she 's afraid that he 's just gotten too comfortable . the conversation ends when caroline comes and says it is time for the meeting . eric asks where ridge is . rick says ridge said he had other pressing matters to attend . eric thinks that is fine since there will be a little less tension . rick says they need to find a new model for the bedroom line and oliver is staying as photographer . that has been settled . aly ca n't quit grinning just thinking about her kisses with oliver . he tells her he had an amazing time yesterday and be ready for another surprise today . liam is at home picking out the wines for his and hope 's dinner . bill scares the pants off on him when he comes dashing through the patio door in his jogging clothes . liam wants to know what he 's doing in his .. he means bill 's house . and he reminds him not to drag any more sand into the house . bill says he is beginning to hear some attitude here and if he continues he will hurt his feelings and he 'll think liam does n't want him here any more . liam is sure that brooke has kicked him out of her house already . bill says no , he just came back for the rest of his stuff . things could n't be better . and he knows why liam is so uptight . he needs a date ; he needs a woman . liam is happy to say he has a date tonight and it is none other than hope . bill is confused . he thought hope was with wyatt . liam says she is but he told her if she is not going to give up wyatt then she could date both of them . bill finds that incredible . liam says yeah that 's the way it has to be , but hope has not given him her answer yet . that is what tonight is all about . bill says ultimatums . liam says no , it 's more like a compromise . she can be with liam or not but it 's up to her and he is not going to just sit around and wait for her to get tired of wyatt . bill tells him that maybe he should just let this ride itself out as he knows he is not going to be happy sharing the woman he loves . liam says he knows . dealing with wyatt on any level is the last thing he wants but he can not make him go away , only hope can do that . bill says okay . he is out of the meddling business so he will just trust that liam knows what he is doing . liam asks bill is he has spoken to wyatt lately because unless he wants to be a grandfather he might want to have a little talk with wyatt about contraception . he tells bill that wyatt almost got hope pregnant . now bill knows why liam is so freaked out . liam says yeah he would have lost hope completely if she were pregnant . bill grouses that there is nothing like a kid to tie you to a woman forever . liam said it was a wakeup call not just for him but for hope who might be re - evaluating her future with wyatt . he admits wyatt is charming and a little dangerous and hope is taken with that but it is not going to last forever . later she is going to want more and wyatt is not capable of going deeper than that and liam is . bill says he is taking a risk liam says he knows but hope does not want to lose him . that much he is sure of . so now he is giving hope that choice . if she wants wyatt exclusively then he 's not going to be on standby and he will move on .

thomas : i mean it , sally . hope will be with me , whatever it takes . sally : thomas -- thomas : you ca n't talk me out of it . i 'm gon na make this happen . sally : you and your son are going through a terrible loss . okay ? caroline is gone . douglas ' mother is never coming back . it is a very raw and emotional time for both of you . you are not thinking clearly . look , just come here . please . thomas : sally -- look , i - i -- i only told you this 'cause you -- you promised that i could trust you . i - i am thinking clearly . i know what 's best for douglas and me . it 's hope . the more that i spend with her , the more time that douglas does , the more i realize , this is how it needs to be . it 's best for everyone involved for hope and liam 's marriage to end . so hope can be with me . liam : losing beth , that 's -- it 's been tragic for both of us , and there were days where it felt ... unbearable . and i understand . i - i know why it 's excruciating for you to even consider having another child . but the worst thing that we can do right now ... is push each other away . i mean , we need closeness and -- and love and intimacy , and we need it now more than ever . i need you right now , and i know -- i know you must need me , too . quinn : oh ! your secretary was n't at her desk . wyatt : would it have made a big difference if she was ? quinn : not when i 'm feeling so -- i just -- i do n't have the words . wyatt : words for what ? quinn : not only do you roll out the red carpet for that girl here at spencer , but you risk your future in the family business to give her her own fashion house , and how does she repay you ? by cozying up to thomas forrester . wyatt : wait , what -- what -- what are you talking about ? quinn : i saw it , wyatt , with my own eyes . the redhead and her ex . i saw your girlfriend , sally , in thomas ' arms . sally : look , i know i said that i would keep what you 're telling me in confidence , and i will ... but this is really difficult . i have to be honest with you . you 're talking about sabotaging hope and liam 's marriage . they have been through so much . thomas : you do n't think my son has , too ? he needs a mother . [ sally sighs ] and she is right there . hell , he even asked her to be his mother . sally : what ? thomas : douglas asked hope to be his mother . and i saw it for myself -- their relationship is genuine . sally : i 'm not questioning that , okay ? i 'm just asking -- thomas : okay , look , maybe you do n't get it 'cause you do n't have children . but one day you will , and you 'll do anything you can to keep them from hurting . i ca n't bring douglas ' mother back , but ... he needs a woman in his life . someone that can love him and care for him . and hope is that woman . sally : okay , i 'm not saying that she 's not . just ask yourself this , thomas -- how much of this are you doing for douglas , and how much are you doing for yourself ? [ sighs ] hope : i miss you , too , but ... being intimate , i -- i could get pregnant , and -- liam : and you 're not ready for another child . hope : i wish i were . i - i know it 's not fair to you . liam : no . stop . it 's totally understandable . but ... being together as husband and wife , i mean , th - the physical intimacy of it ... we 'll be safe . i wo n't let you worry about getting pregnant , i promise . you would n't accept an incomplete job quinn : i 'm not gon na let sally make a fool out of you . wyatt : that 's not what sally is doing . quinn : really ? what do you call her and thomas working side - by - side together at forrester while you 're here at spencer ? wyatt : wait , wait . come again ? quinn : he wants to take over thorne 's role as head designer for hope for the future . he and sally will be working together all the time now , falling into each other 's arms every chance they get . i 'm sorry , i 'm not gon na let you be played for a sucker . wyatt : that 's not what 's happening here . quinn : maybe not now . but you can not be happy about this . wyatt : okay , fine ! just because you saw sally in thomas ' arms , does n't mean that anything is going o -- caroline just recently passed away , okay ? we are all grieving from that whole situation . so maybe she was just being , i do n't know , supportive . quinn : supportive . wyatt : yeah . quinn : supportive ? wyatt : yeah . quinn : wyatt , i raised you better than that . open your eyes ! sally is not the girl for you . especially now that flo is back in town . wyatt : oh , my god . quinn : flo is beautiful , and she is so smart , and she 's a logan ! you helped her with that . i know you still care about her . wyatt : of course i do ! of course i care about her . i will always care about flo . quinn : i 'm just ... the last time that i saw flo , you could tell that , you know , she was going through something heavy . wyatt : she just found out about a whole other family she did n't even know existed . of course she 's going through something . quinn : so then be there for her . you be there for flo . wyatt : [ scoffs ] quinn : forget about sally . sally : you know , i always wondered why , when i was with you , i felt like i never fully had you . i used to think that it was because of caroline . but now i see it 's because you never truly got over hope . thomas : you found love with wyatt . and i did with hope years ago . and lately , she 's all i can think about . she needs a man who 's totally committed to her . sally : she has a man like that -- her husband . thomas : really ? sally : seriously ? you know the kind of man that liam is ! thomas : yeah , i also know what it 's like to grow up with a mother who loved a man who ended up having children with another woman . i see that same thing happening again . liam -- liam loves steffy , and he loves those children . [ scribbling ] sally : what are you drawing ? thomas : nothing . [ cellphone chimes ] sally : you 're making drawings and pretending they 're from douglas ? thomas : i told you -- i am determined to make this right . the next generation of my family is not going to suffer the way that my sisters and i did because of brooke . sally : this is hope 's marriage to liam we 're talking about . thomas : liam belongs with steffy . hope belongs with me . liam : hey . heh ... i know you 're concerned . i know . but i promise you , there 's not gon na be a baby until you 're ready . i had a heart problem . quinn : i have tried not to meddle in your love life . wyatt : ha ! wha ... quinn : i have tried to tolerate sally for your sake . but after seeing her with thomas ... i ca n't forget all of the horrible things that she 's done . i - i think it 's a huge mistake for ridge and eric to allow her to keep designing for forrester . wyatt : they 're allowing her to design there because she 's talented . quinn : mnh ... she 's not talented . she 's tacky . wyatt : okay . quinn : look , you and sally had your fun . wyatt : mmph . quinn : but now that flo is back in town , you need to ask her out , get to know her again . i -- [ huffs ] tell sally to move out . wyatt : [ laughs ] quinn : let her be with thomas . thomas : hey , amelia . it 's thomas . amelia : hmm . thomas ... thomas ... name sounds vaguely familiar . thomas : how quickly i 'm forgotten . amelia : i heard you 're back in l.a. -- just after i left for paris with steffy and the girls , darn it . thomas : talk about lousy timing . amelia : i assume you 're calling for your sister . she 's out at the moment . thomas : okay , well , how are my adorable nieces ? amelia : growing , changing so much every day . kelly 's really starting to talk . every time steffy shows her a picture of liam , she says , `` dada `` over and over . thomas : really ? amelia : i know . it 's the sweetest thing . [ sighs ] she really loves her daddy . thomas : well , hey , heh , i know you 're having a great time over there in paris , but , um , when you get back to l.a. , we could meet up , grab some dinner . amelia : i would like that . a lot . heh . thomas : great . uh , so , steffy 's not there ? amelia : right . she and your mom are out . thomas : kelly and phoebe are -- are with them ? amelia : no , they 're here with me . why ? thomas : i need you to do something for me , amelia , but , um , keep it between us . amelia : for you , thomas , okay . what is it ? thomas : it 's about my nieces . a way to secure their future and family . return their father to them . i can make it happen ... with your help . hope : you were right . we needed this . liam : did you just admit that i 'm right ? [ hope giggles ] like , all the time ? like , every day , like , i 'm always right , right , because i think that 's what you said . that 's what i heard in my head . hope : liam . liam . [ both laugh ] liam : it 's weird , it -- you know , it almost felt like it was our first time together or something . hope : okay , come on . it has n't been that long . liam : has n't it ? hope : [ chuckles ] liam : i think this has been a test for us . for our marriage . and for a minute , there , it kind of seemed like -- just , like , if i had been a better husband , you know , that -- hope : liam , no . no woman and no wife could ask for a more supportive and caring husband . i would n't have been able to make it through those months without you , and that 's what made it so hard . wanting to show you , to be ... close with you like this , but not being ready . i 'm just -- i 'm really grateful that you were so patient with me . [ cellphone chimes ] liam : uh , sorry . i -- [ groans ] i meant to turn that off . hope : no , it 's fine . it 's fine . it 's wyatt . seems urgent . liam : oh , it 's wyatt ? is it wyatt ? hope : [ giggles ] liam : um ... listen , you said you were grateful . i 'm grateful , too . every minute , every day , good or bad -- it does n't matter . to ... that i get to have you , that i get to love you , this -- this kind , beautiful woman i 'm sharing my life with , i love you , and i love who i am because of you . wyatt : [ sighs ] liam : well , this better be worth it . your text said come see you right away . what 's so important ? wyatt : oh , am i pulling you away from something ? liam : [ scoffs ] yes , as a matter of fact . i was with my wife . wyatt : so ? liam : no , i -- i was with my wife . wyatt : yeah , i 'm not deaf , dummy , i heard you the first time . liam : wyatt . wyatt : oh ! liam : [ laughs ] oh , yeah . right ? wyatt : that 's great ! liam : yes ! that 's what i 'm saying . wyatt : wow ! but then why -- wait . why are you here ? liam : because you kept texting me , and hope insisted i go find out what the problem was . wyatt : oh , i 'm sorry . if i knew that was what was happening , i would n't -- okay . you 're -- you must be happy . liam : ecstatic . thank you . yes . yes ! wyatt : okay . yeah . i - i knew you were -- you were worried that that wall was slowly building between you guys . but , i mean , that -- that must not be the case , then , right ? you might be right back on track . liam : yeah . i mean , not that i 'd ever question hope 's love and commitment to me , but , you know , losing beth really -- really pulled us apart for a minute , there , and i 'm just -- i 'm just grateful that we 're back on track . it really feels like hope and i and our marriage are -- i think we 've weathered the worst of it . hope : liam had to run to see his brother . thomas : oh . i - i do n't want intrude . i -- i just wanted to thank you for all your care and concern for douglas . and , um , to give you this . special delivery from my son . hope : heh ... oh ! douglas did this for me ? thomas : he 's a good little artist , huh ? hope : [ chuckles ] yeah . the printing is really good , too . thomas : yeah , well , i - i -- he had me double check on that for him . to spell `` i love you `` correctly . heh ... hope : well , it 's sweet . thomas : it 's been tough for him , getting over his mom . but the only thing that really brings him joy is thinking of you . i - i just do n't want it to be a burden -- you know , my son 's love for you . i -- [ sighs ] you 're still probably dealing with the loss of beth , and i would n't want -- hope : no , it 's okay , thomas . really . i , um ... douglas is a wonderful little boy , and it means a lot to me that -- if i 'm able to help him through this difficult time . thomas : well , you know , you 've , um ... heh ... you 've done that for me , too . you 've been a godsend to both douglas and me through all this . hope : well , thank you for bringing me the drawing . thomas : yeah , yeah . um ... uh , but before i got , i just -- i think there 's something you need to see . amelia called me earlier . um ... she , uh ... she 's concerned about the girls . uh , especially kelly . here . um ... she -- she sent this to me . kelly : dada ! dada ! [ babbling ] dada ! dada ! thomas : amelia said that kelly calls out for liam all the time . um ... i think those girls really miss their father . um , and , uh .... well , steffy does n't know that she sent this video . she did n't want liam to be upset . but i - it 's clear how much those precious little girls need their father . and i - i can tell from your reaction ... you know that 's true . those girls need to be with their dad . i think you know it 's time . right ? liam ca n't wait any longer . he has to go to paris . he needs to be with those girls . he needs to be with his family . kelly : dada ! [ babbling ]	thomas tells sally he is going to make this happen so do not talk him out of this . she hugs him as he says this is the best thing for all involved . quinn oversees the hug and backs out . liam tells hope that he needs her and their intimacy right now really matters . he kisses her and she does n't pull away but she can not respond either . he tells her it is totally understandable and he absolutely will not let her worry about getting pregnant . quinn goes right back to wyatt and can not tell him fast enough that she saw it with her own eyes .. his redhead in the arms of her ex , thomas . sally continues with thomas as he tries to explain that douglas needs a mother and hope would be his choice . and she loves him too . sally tells him to be truthful in admitting how much this is for douglas and how much for him . wyatt argues with quinn that just because she saw sally in thomas 's arms does not mean anything romantic , perhaps just support . she goes on to jump to flo is the woman for him , forget about sally . meanwhile sally continues to tell thomas how foolish he is for making drawings for hope and pretending they are from douglas . he laments that he already said he would do anything to get hope . she deserves a man who is totally committed to her , not like liam who also loves steffy and her two girls . they belong together . he sees this just like when brooke kept taking his mother , taylor , away from ridge and making a new family with him . he will not allow that .
wyatt : i mean , you do regret kissing brooke , right ? [ scoffs ] it 's a simple yes or no , dad . bill : no , wyatt . want me to punch you ? it 's not a simple yes or no . brooke and i happen to have a long history , and there 's a lot of emotion there , and ... [ sighs ] when brooke needs me , my instinct is to be there for her , and i was . and , no , i do n't regret that . but , yes , i -- i do regret the kiss , and i regret that it hurt katie . but i do n't wan na be back with brooke . i love katie , and i love our life together . wyatt : i guess what i 'm wondering is what do you do with the regret . where do you put it ? 'cause , like , i have a lot when it comes to sally , and it 's not because of her dying . it 's - it 's -- it 's because of the way i treated her when i knew i was in love with flo . bill : well , maybe you did n't , wyatt . denial is a powerful thing . and you did love sally , too . wyatt : i did . i do . i - i do . it 's just -- it 's hard to believe that time is running out for her . bill : look , whenever it is that sally 's gone , i hope you find comfort in knowing that you did all you could do for her and that you and flo can move into your future together and take every bit of joy and happiness that life has to offer . sally : no . no , no , no , no , no ! dr. escobar : i ca n't believe i hit her . she was about to call wyatt . she was -- oh , my gosh . she was gon na tell him that you 're not dying . she threatened to call in the cops . sally : so hitting her over the head with a candlestick was your best solution ? dr. escobar : i do n't know what came over me . i just -- i wanted to stop her . i did n't wan na hurt her . she 's not dead , is she ? sally : i do n't know . you 're the damn doctor . get over here and check her . oh , come on , flo . please , god . please , please let her be okay . katie : i can put you down for 2 : 00 , but it only has to be 15 minutes because i 've got a 2 : 30 . okay . all right . i will see you then . thank you . donna : hey . katie : hey . donna : throwing yourself into work . katie : well , it 's better than sitting at home feeling sorry for myself . donna : how are you holding up ? katie : i 'm ... okay . i have to be okay for my son . has he noticed that his parents are n't living together ? katie : not yet . but he 's gon na figure it out . he 's smart . he 's intuitive , sensitive . donna : so , um , have you reached out to bill ? katie : no . donna : no . are you -- were you going to ? katie : not right away . [ sighs ] listen . i still love him . of course i do . i ca n't just magically turn off my feelings . i wish i could . i wish i could just forget how hurt i felt when i saw bill kissing brooke , but ... i can't . bill : [ sighs ] have the doctors said how much time sally has left ? wyatt : [ sighs ] yeah . um , she 's already proven them wrong . doctors gave her only about a month , and ... i mean , she 's already surpassed that . bill : well , that woman 's a fighter . even i learned not to underestimate her . wyatt : unfortunately , this is a battle that sally ca n't ultimately win . i mean ... i mean , we 're gon na lose her . it 's just -- it 's only a matter of time . bill : and when that time comes , wyatt , i 'll be here for you , and so will flo . wyatt : thanks , dad . i am grateful for that . you know , i thought -- i thought flo was lost to me , but ... i mean , here we are , defying the odds . and we 're just gon na grab ahold of our future and ride it for all it 's worth . sally : [ exhales ] you 're not saying anything . dr. escobar : i 'm checking her . sally : is she alive ? dr. escobar : she has a pulse . sally : oh , thank god . thank god . dr. escobar : but considering the blow to the head , flo can have a serious head injury -- a concussion at the very least . sally : ohh ! flo . flo , i am so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i never meant for any of this to happen . i never thought a doctor , of all people , was gon na crack you over the head with a candlestick , you idiot . but you were gon na tell wyatt , and she was afraid of that , and we -- ohh -- we ca n't have that happen , and we still can't . dr. escobar : what does that mean ? sally : just means that wyatt still lives here , and eventually he 's gon na come home . and you know what he ca n't find ? her . katie : there 's really no way for me to exaggerate how shocked i was . this was one of the most humiliating moments of my life , and it was caused by my sister and the man i 'm in love with . donna : and quinn . let 's not forget about her part in all this . katie : quinn is vicious . that 's true . but all she did was upload that video . and all shauna did was record it . the blame lies with bill and brooke . and you know what ? if -- [ sighs ] if i keep thinking about it , i 'm gon na get all upset all over again . so i 'm just -- i 'm just focusing on my son . that 's it . donna : okay . that - that 's a good plan for now , okay ? and it 'll take you through the hurt until you can get to a place of forgiveness . katie : well , that might be a very long journey . donna : it 's okay . it takes as long as it takes . just -- [ sighs ] just do n't close your heart , okay ? i really believe that bill is sorry . katie : i believe that , too . i know he 's sorry . i know brooke is sorry . they 've been sorry before for this very same reason , because they 're incapable of keeping their hands and their lips off of each other . donna : [ sighs ] they swear that this moment is never gon na happen again . katie : i know . i know . they 've said that before , too . listen . brooke is my sister . i love her , and we will work through this and come out on the other side of it because that 's just the way things are with us . but bill ... donna : what about him ? katie : i just do n't know if i can ever trust him again . watt : you know , you 've been doing that a lot . bill : yeah , i know , wyatt . i 'm hoping there 's a text from katie . wyatt : you know , i 'm not surprised that katie does n't wan na talk to you . bill : wow . thanks for the support . wyatt : i 'm not trying to bust your chops . bill : well , you could 've fooled me . wyatt : i 'm just saying , how do you think kissing brooke was gon na go over ? bill : well , clearly , wyatt , i was n't thinking , was i ? wyatt : i just -- all i 'm saying is i do n't understand how you could hurt katie like that . bill : she was n't supposed to know , wyatt . wyatt : what ? bill : yeah , that 's not an excuse , all right ? there is no excuse . but the moment that kiss ended , brooke and i knew that that was it . it was n't going anywhere . it was just a moment . right ? a moment that was never gon na happen again . so what would be the point of hurting our significant others , making some kind of dramatic confession for no reason ? it seemed like the right thing at the time . little did we know that shauna and that witch of a mother of yours were already all over it . wyatt : hey . okay . fine . i 'm sorry , all right ? i know how much you hate being away from katie and will . bill : well , i owe katie the space that she needs . it 's the least i can do . wyatt : will does n't know anything ? bill : no , he does n't know anything , and i 'm hoping that katie and i can get this worked out before he realizes that something 's wrong . i 'll tell you one thing . this has certainly given me perspective . now , you say that flo is the love of your life , right ? wyatt : yeah . she is . bill : well , then be vigilant , wyatt , and protect that love with everything you 've got . wyatt : i 'm sorry . are you supporting flo and me ? bill : what are you talking about ? i 've been supportive of you and flo . yeah . flo and i , we did n't get off on the right foot for obvious reasons , but she has stepped up in some remarkable ways . so i 've got to give her some credit . you guys -- it 's been incredible the way that you 've been there for sally . i -- i 'm so impressed , wyatt . you wan na know how to not have any regrets ? wyatt : hmm . bill : if you love flo , protect her and protect your future together . wyatt : it 's -- it 's great advice . i 'll take it . dr. escobar : we need to call 911 . she needs medical attention . sally : then give her some , doctor . oh , my god . look , okay , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , all right ? i know you feel guilty for everything that you 've done , and now this , but we ca n't call anyone , okay ? because there 's no way that we can explain any of this without both of us losing everything . whether you like it or not , we 're both in on this together . dr. escobar : why did i ever let you talk me into this insane plan ? sally : because you wanted something just like i did . dr. escobar : not this . i did n't want this . wyatt 's gon na walk in , and he 's gon na see what i did to flo , and he 's gon na find out that - that - that you 've -- you 've been fine all along , and you 're as healthy as a horse . oh , my god . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na lose my license . sally : okay , stop it , stop it , stop it , please . i do n't need your freak - out right now . i 'm panicking perfectly well on my own . okay . what we both need to do is we need to take a big , deep breath , and we need to get flo out of here before she comes to and before wyatt gets home . katie : i guess i have to take my fair share of responsibility for bill and brooke 's affair years ago . i mean , i -- i pushed them together . donna : you were suffering from postpartum depression . katie : yes . and a part of me feels that they should 've taken that into consideration before they tumbled into bed together no matter how hard i pushed them . but i -- i also have to admit that that might not be completely fair . donna : okay , i do n't think it 's wrong to expect your husband and your sister to not sleep together . katie : you 're right . if it was n't for will , i do n't know that we would 've stayed together , but ... our son needed both of his parents , and so we worked it out . and now here i am . i 'm slapped in the face again with -- with their attraction to each other . donna : i know . i know . katie : and every time i start feeling sorry for myself , i think of sally . because not only is her situation heartbreaking , it -- it 's tragic and final . donna : yeah . it 's so unfair . i mean , sally should have all the time in the world in front of her . katie : living out her last days with wyatt has been such a blessing and not just for sally but for wyatt , too . i mean , sally 's able to find peace . but wyatt , he knows that he 's made such a big difference at the end of her life , and that 's gon na help him so much with his healing process . and it 's all because of flo -- her willingness to put her own happiness on hold . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm so proud of her . i 'm proud to call her a logan . bill : well , she may not be a logan much longer . i think she 's going to trade her name in for spencer pretty soon here .

you 're gon na disrupt the wedding ? you think brooke would be upset enough with me for not telling her that she 'd call it off ? massimo : no , of course not . ridge : well , then what the hell 's the point ? ! massimo : look , i had to make her understand that eric is not your father -- so it would be clear to her when i told her that you and bridget love each other . stephanie : whether you can believe it or not , i was stunned when the doctor said that it was medically impossible for eric to be ridge 's father . brooke : is that so ? stephanie : yes , that 's so . yes , that 's so . it 's the truth . brooke : well , i 've been through something quite similar , if you recall . when we discovered that eric was the father to bridget . you remember that , do n't you ? i certainly do . and this whole time you had a secret of your own . stephanie : no , i did n't know . so there was no secret . brooke : stephanie , there was a secret . even though you were n't sure that massimo was his father , you knew there was a damn good chance he could have been . so now you committed the same crime that i did . but did you ever show me any sympathy ? stephanie : oh , my god . now you 're gon na be the victim here ? you 're the one that breaks up my marriage ? brooke : a marriage based on a lie . stephanie : you seduced both of my sons . and now here you are , at it all over again . brooke : well , now we know what the boys find so appealing , do n't we ? they want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad you and i have so much in common . except for one very important difference . i never pretended to be a paragon of virtue . and you have no idea how small you made me feel , stephanie . but , by god , you are certainly going to find out . macy : wow , that is just breathtaking . sally : yeah , literally . i 'll tell you one thing , i could n't get a quarter of my assets in that thing . so , tell me , darling , why do n't you take it home ?

( laughs ) you ca n't even imagine how that made me feel to be humiliated by the forresters over and over again . did i tell you -- did i tell you that -- that stephanie -- stephanie sent a rapist into brooke 's home ? does that make me worse than her ? i - i do n't know . but i - i could n't take it anymore . my father comes back into town , and he -- he vows to get even . the man who abandoned my family thinks he can come back in and save the day . that 's when i snapped . i saw an opportunity to get even with two people that had caused my family the most pain . so i took it . ashley : you got away with it , right ? storm : no , i d - i did n't get away with it , ashley . i mean , stephanie forgave me . but i 'm the one who has to pay for that . i pay for that every time i look into my sisters ' eyes and i see pity . they used to revere me . they did . and i know that probably -- i know that probably sounds absurd to you that , you know , anybody could respect me , but , uh , they did . i 'm sorry . i 've ...

( sighs ) then he went to steffy , and he told her all about it . rick : ( sighs ) no . see , that would be too honest , too straightforward . he recorded the conversation . brooke : he deliberately recorded one of your arguments ? rick : yes . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . it was planned , mom . i - i went in there , and he provoked me , made sure that i said some things that would upset steffy . he stabbed me in the back . it 's pure and simple . brooke : well , i agree . that is terrible . rick : wait a second . you -- you agree ? brooke : well , you 're not exactly mr. innocent , but if it happened the way you 're explaining to me , then , yes , that is wrong . i - i just ca n't believe ridge would do something like that . rick : well , you would be surprised of what your husband is really capable of . he 's been planning this for quite some time , mom . brooke : you must have said some pretty nasty things . rick : well , of course i said some nasty things , mom , we were arguing . brooke : okay , look . just -- i 'm sure this will all blow over . just stay away from steffy for a little while . she 'll come around . rick : no , that 's the thing . it 's over . she made that quite clear . i just ca n't believe this is happening , mom . it -- steffy and i were on the jet , and we were on our way to a nice , romantic getaway . and y - you will never believe what happened . ridge drives his car onto the tarmac , gets out and starts running down the runway at the jet like a maniac . brooke : oh , my god . rick : yeah , we were taking off . the man could have been killed . brooke : uh , wait . and then he stopped the plane , and he played the recording for steffy ? rick : no . see , that 's the thing . ridge did not play the recording for steffy . taylor did . brooke : taylor . rick : mm - hmm . they were working together on this . [ scene_break ] steffy : how many times did you tell me not to trust rick ? ridge : finally you realized you could n't . steffy : yeah , but at what price ? hearing what he said to you about me , i - i ca n't even imagine what you felt . i just feel so numb . ( sighs ) taylor : steffy , you 've been grieving . you 're still feeling that . you 've been feeling so alone and very vulnerable , and he just answered that need in you . steffy : yeah , just so i thought . ridge : sweetheart , none of that matters anymore . steffy : but it does , dad . but it does . you guys mean so much to me . and you were grieving just like i was . and i ignored you . ridge : you were in pain . steffy : yeah , and rick took advantage of it . and i believed him . i thought he loved me . all the while , he was using me to get to you . i do n't even think he knows what love is . dad , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i am so sorry , dad . ( sniffles ) ridge : sweetheart , there 's no need to apologize . steffy : ( sniffles ) ridge : no need . i 'm just glad to have you back . i was feeling a little like i had lost another daughter . steffy : ( sobs ) dad , you 're not gon na lose me .

( scoffs ) but something must have gone wrong here , because ridge promised me that he was gon na work through these issues with you , that somehow , he was gon na resolve everything . rick : it is resolved . steffy and i are broken up . brooke : that 's not what he meant when he promised me that . rick : all right , are -- are you sure about that ? because this was so -- so well thought out , so planned and premeditated . they had to have known exactly what buttons of mine to press to get me to blow my top . look , mom , i know how much you love your husband , but what ridge did today , what taylor and ridge did today is just so evil . steffy and i could have done anything , the brightest future you could possibly imagine . and she was making me a better person . she was helping me turn my life around , mom , and now it 's all ruined . they were out to get me , and you know what ? they got me . and now i 've lost steffy for good . brooke : ( sighs ) you stay right here . i 'll be back .

( scoffs ) if you ask me , steffy and rick 's relationship is not the only one that should be cut off here . brooke : ( scoffs ) taylor : you know , ridge , i ... ( sighs ) i have never even said this to you yet , but i do n't know how you can expect to have a normal marriage with a woman whose son is responsible for your daughter 's death . that on top of the fact that she does n't respect your opinions -- she is n't loyal to you . she 's more loyal to her grown son than she is to you . that is not a balanced relationship . it 's dysfunctional , and it will only get worse , ridge . believe me . it is painfully clear to me what it 's doing to you . look at the courage your -- your daughter had . look at what steffy did and -- and walk away from this crazy family of hers . you know where you 're welcome and -- and you 're loved and you 're respected and you 're honored . here . you belong here with us .	steffy tells rick that she does n't think rick can prove to her what he is saying , that he can be a different man . this is too much a vendetta . rick claims that he will get down on his knees and beg , even play nice to her father if she will give him another chance . steffy tells him no , it is still over . tired of waiting , ridge barges back in the room and tells rick it 's over and he must leave . ridge comforts steffy and tells her that she was not wrong . she was just being honest . brooke tells katie that ridge 's problem in the bedroom is just stress and she knows how to take care of that . rick comes home and puts his spin on things for brooke concerning steffy and him breaking up . ridge gave him rope to hang himself and rick tightened the noose . ridge stabbed him in the back , pure and simple . brooke thinks that is wrong and ca n't believe ridge would do that . steffy tells her parents that she feels so numb . they tried to tell her previously and she would n't listen . she ignored all the signs . she thought rick loved her and all the while he was using her to get to ridge . she apologizes and vows to ridge that he is not going to lose another daughter .

aly 's boyfriend sort of guarantees that . he admits it strengthens his position but that 's not it . he really likes aly , she is different and refreshing . maya adds also young , inexperienced and vulnerable , so remember that when going forward . wyatt is barely listening when quinn goes on and on about aly being the possible model . she finally gets him to spill . it 's like a new disaster every hour . he says liam is demanding equal time with hope . she asks like in a debate . he ways no , liam is insisting that hope come over for dinner tonight which will constitute a real date and she will proceed to date both of them . quinn says that is the most ridiculous thing she has ever heard . please tell her that is not what hope is going to do . brooke asks hope if wyatt knows . he could not have been thrilled . hope says all things considered he was pretty calm . he said it was her choice . but she has n't made it yet . something makes her recoil from dating two brothers . brooke says that would make her like her . she could always call it off with wyatt . hope says that is not an option . and liam knows that . that is partly why he is doing this . she can still see wyatt but it gives liam another chance as well . but if she does n't do this then liam will move on for good and she 's not sure she is ready for that either .
bill : [ chuckles ] brooke : [ giggles ] bill : it 's not a dream . your ring is back where it belongs , and my sword is back around my neck . brooke : all is right in the world . [ exhales deeply ] bill : yeah , that 's an understatement . i spent the night with you in my arms on top of a bed of cash . brooke : [ gasps ] bill : how could it be more right than that ? brooke : [ laughing ] oh , my gosh . we have to save some of this ! we have a wedding to plan for . bill : uh , i think we 'll be okay . i can afford it . so , um ... what do you say we get married in monte carlo ? brooke : oh , that is a great idea . bill : on the stella maris . brooke : [ gasps ] i love it ! so many decisions to make . bill : yeah , too many decisions . but , you know what ? they can all wait for after . brooke : after ? bill : after this . brooke : [ chuckles ] wyatt : dad 's big skyscraper , on hold again . liam : i know . he was so excited about expanding downtown . wyatt : oh , he will . just might not happen as quickly as he thought . the stolen designs might have bought spectra some time , but it ca n't sustain them for long , right ? liam : it 's true . wyatt : steffy must be livid . liam : yeah , i mean , an entire collection wasted . wyatt : no plans on releasing the designs anyway ? liam : nope , it 's back to the drawing board for forrester . wyatt : literally . ridge : no , that 's good work , thomas . it 's really nice . let me know when you finish with the next one . okay , and remember -- beading on the waist . okay . thank you . okay . eric : you 're really losing yourself into this , are n't you , ridge ? ridge : well , it helps me take my mind off other things , dad . eric : what happened , ridge ? why did n't you and brooke get married ? [ telephone rings ] pam : forrester creations , please hold .

[ chuckles ] brooke : [ chuckles ] oh , is it really that late ? [ sighs ] gosh . bill : time flies when you 're having fun . [ groans ] i 'll get the shower ready . brooke : tell me when it 's hot . bill : oh , i 'll let you know when it 's hot . quinn : thank you ! do n't mind if i do . katie ? [ telephone rings ] katie : no , thanks . pam : oh , sorry , ladies . duty calls . forrester creations . katie : let 's take a walk . quinn : what ? is there a problem ? katie : you think i 'm gon na come back to forrester and be a secretary ? quinn : it was good enough for your sister . katie : i was c.e.o . quinn : i realize that . i 'm just trying to work you in , so ... katie : let 's see if eric has any better ideas , shall we ? quinn : what ? no ! wait ! katie : good morning ! eric : katie , hi . good to see you . katie : you 're hard at work , i see . quinn : yes , they are , which is why we ought to discuss this later . eric : discuss what ? quinn : her possible employment . eric : oh ! that ! of course . well , i 'm up for that . it 's just , uh ... katie : oh , no , no , no , no . i get it . i get it . you two are in crisis mode , the company . you need to be designing . that 's where you energy should be focused . i just want you to know that i am ready and willing to help in any way i can . eric : well , it 's no secret that we could use some extra hands around here . katie : you 're right about that . no secret at all . liam : so jarrett 's pushing for an extension , but i feel like if we can get this story in the very next issue , we 'll be good . bill : [ whistles ] wyatt : yeah , i -- well , well , well . liam : look what the cat dragged in . wyatt : about time , too ! we were just about to leave . liam : meeting ended an hour ago , by the way , but we 're happy to e - mail you the minutes . [ whistling continues ] liam : yo ! oh , look ! your sword . bill : hmm ? liam : your necklace . bill : oh , yeah . i 'm wearing it again . and brooke , um ... she 's wearing hers , as well . wyatt : brooke 's wearing ... her sword ? three words . her engagement ring ? bill : [ laughs ] yep . we are getting married . wyatt : what ? ! liam : [ laughs ] katie : listen , i know it 's a terrible time for forrester , with everything that happened with spectra , but if there is any way at all you can use me , please , please do . brooke : hi . katie : hi ! brooke : katie , what are you doing here ? katie : oh , uh , well , working , i hope . brooke : what ? seriously ? katie : yeah , it was quinn 's idea . brooke : oh . that 's excellent . katie : i think so . [ laughs ] brooke : okay . well , i heard your voice . i just wanted to see what was going on . i better get back to work . katie : okay . see you later . pam : um , eric , line 2 . it sounds important . eric : eric forrester . what ? ! damn it ! quinn : what is it ? eric : spectra not only stole from couture , they stole from the jewelry line , as well . quinn : what ? ! eric : we 're gon na need all new pieces for this collection . quinn : no ! no , no , no , no ! we ca n't ! ivy is n't here ! she 's in australia . i told that she could take the time off . i mean , a whole new line ? eric : yes . i 'm afraid so . quinn : eric , i 'm gon na need help . i mean , even -- even with ivy here , there 's no way that we would have enough time to come up with a whole new collection that quickly . eric : katie . i think i just figured out where you can fit in . katie : oh ! the jewelry line ! quinn : no , no ! wait ! hold on one second ! katie : oh , my gosh . that sounds amazing . i mean , obviously i 've never designed before , but god knows i 've worn my fair share of jewelry , and i think have a pretty good style . quinn : wait ! hold on a second , eric ! it does n't matter about style . it takes more than ... katie : oh , i know , i know . i 'm sure it 's really difficult , but you can walk me through it . i 'm a really quick study . it sounds fascinating . eric : look , i think it 's a pretty good idea , but of course , it 's up to you , honey . but she 's here and she can help . katie : so , what do you say , quinn ? i mean , could you use my help ? you said you could n't do it all by yourself , so ... sounds to me like working with me might be in your best interest . quinn : sounds like it . [ door closes ] brooke : what are you doing ? you should be sketching right now . ridge : just taking a break . brooke : yeah ? well , i 'm just catching up with a few things here . ridge : i just want you to hear me . it was stupid . i made a stupid mistake . it was silly , but we -- brooke : stop . eric : all right , well , i think this is a great idea . katie can help process designs , she can oversee production , and keep an eye on the budget . anything that can make things easier for you . katie : absolutely . i ca n't wait to work side by side with you , quinn . eric : wonderful . congratulations . katie : thank you . thank you so much ! eric : all right . i need to get this downstairs . i ca n't wait to see what you come up with . katie : bye . eric : bye . katie : this is gon na be so much fun . quinn : you can do anything here -- anything you want -- except work with me on the jewelry line . liam : engaged ? you got engaged to brooke ? bill : hell yeah ! i told you the big dog was gon na come out on top ! wyatt : persistence really does pay off . congratulations . bill : thank you , son . liam : finally wore her done . happy for you . bill : and thank you , son . you know , technically , she asked me . wyatt : whoa ! liam : whoa ! wyatt : that 's impressive ! liam : yeah ! when 's the big day ? bill : i do n't know , but soon . i do n't want to wait . but wherever it is and whenever it is , i expect you both to be there . liam : would n't miss it . wyatt : well , as long as it does n't take away from work . making money . that 's us spencers , right ? and , uh , you know , we 're not gon na take a full day off 'cause , i mean , we do have this teeny - tiny skyscraper we 're trying to build . bill : i do n't give a damn about the skyscraper . liam : huh ? bill : well , that 's not true . i -- no , i do give a damn . i care , but ... do n't worry , beautiful . sometime , you will get built . wyatt : there he is . liam : does he know it ca n't hear him ? wyatt : i honestly do n't know what 's happening right now . bill : oh , let me tell you something . if you have n't learned it yet , you should learn it now . you say it loud enough , you say it with conviction , and it 'll happen . wyatt : the same way you did with brooke ? bill : exactly . i told her that poser was gon na let her down and that i would be there for her when he did . and here we are . liam : yeah , what happened there , by the way ? 'cause they were this close to get married in australia . bill : yeah , i do n't know . i do n't know , but i , uh ... i do want to find out . i 'm very curious about what he did to screw up again . and why 's he given up . liam : has he ? has he given up ? ridge : wow . that was fast . i know you 're disappointed and i know you 're hurt , but what are you doing ? brooke : what i should have done a long time ago . ridge : think about r.j. and think about our family . brooke : i am thinking about r.j . i want him to see me finally being loved . ridge : you are loved by me . i can do this . brooke : no , you ca n't , ridge . you 've never been able to . ridge : i screwed up . but i do n't have feelings for quinn , you know that . do n't marry bill because i made a mistake . please take off that ring and give me another chance . bill : i do n't give a damn whether or not forrester 's given up on brooke . liam : well , if he 's pursuing her and causing problems , then ... bill : it does n't matter ! she 's given up on him ! you have nothing to worry about . wyatt : okay , we 're not worried . we just -- we know how ridge is . bill : i do , too . he 's an idiot . messes up every relationship . even when it 's `` destiny . `` brooke : how do i give you another chance ? a man who i saw kissing another woman the day before we were supposed to get married . your father 's wife . do you know how hurtful that was ? ridge : i ca n't imagine . i tried to explain ... brooke : ridge , you can explain this . it 's who you are . it 's what you do . you have this need to conquer women , no matter how inappropriate it is . forget about your commitments , forget about your loyalties ... ridge : i know -- brooke : you know what ? you do n't know . we were kids . that 's what brought us together . we both did n't have any boundaries . but i 've changed . i have grown and i have matured , and that is not the kind of life that i want for myself , full of heartbreak and full of betrayal ... ridge : i do n't want that , either . brooke : well , your actions say something different . you 'll end up with quinn . you 'll take her away from your father . ridge : no , that 's not gon na happen . brooke : i do n't know what 's gon na happen , ridge , and i do n't care because it 's not my problem anymore . i am marrying bill . i 'm gon na be mrs. bill spencer . ridge : do n't say that . brooke : you have hurt me for the very last time . there will always be a place for you in my heart . but i ca n't let you access that anymore . i mean , hey , we had a good run , right ? the boy from beverly hills and the girl from the valley . we had these dreams , and we had this vision . we wanted a family , and we were gon na be married and happy for the rest of our lives . but that 's just not possible . ridge : logan . brooke : no . katie : i just really want you to try to have an open mind about this . i mean , i need a job , you need help . quinn : not from you ! how am i supposed to design with you breathing down my neck , blackmailing me ? katie : oh , for god 's sake , i 'm not blackmailing you . quinn : showing up at work every single day , looking over my shoulder -- i ca n't take that ! katie : i 'm sure you 'll figure out a way to deal with it . eric offered me a position , and i accepted . quinn : katie , please -- katie : this is a good opportunity for both of us . quinn : for me ? how ? katie : you 're going to design , i 'm gon na handle the marketing and the p.r . , and together , we are going to celebrate the sanctity of your marriage . see , i get it . you do n't like this . you do n't like not being in control . you like walking around and having everyone feel intimidated and afraid of what you 're gon na do next and wondering what you 're capable of . well , times have changed . i 'm in control now , and i know what you 're capable of . you are gon na be true to that beautiful man who loves you , who trusts you . for some reason , you make him happy , and you 're not gon na hurt him . quinn : you 're the one threatening to do that by threatening to tell him . katie : only if you force me to ! i do n't want have to do that ! but you keep telling me that there 's nothing to tell him , so let 's keep it that way . quinn : oh , okay . so , then , that 's the deal , right ? you -- you keep your mouth shut if i show you that i 'm loyal to eric ? well , that 's not gon na be a problem . katie : well ... quinn : what ? katie : i 'm hoping that you 'll be a decent co - worker . you know , a mentor . you can teach me everything you know about jewelry . i mean , if i feel like it 's an unhealthy work environment , then i 'm gon na have to tell eric . quinn : welcome to the jewelry line . katie : thank you . see ? now , that was n't so hard . let 's get to it . you are not gon na regret this . i am very good at what i do . i think what we need are copies of all the current couture designs , and you know what ? ridge and eric and thomas -- they all have such different sensibilities . i 'm really curious as to how you 're gon na pair things with each different couture design . and , you know , the models have to be taken into consideration . you might have somebody who has a really long neck , or really wide shoulders , you know , the fabrics of the gowns . this is so exciting . i can not wait to learn how you deal with all this stuff . quinn : yeah , i , uh -- i ca n't wait to teach you . katie : yeah ? quinn : yeah . yeah , katie , i will take really good care of you . katie : good . i do like these . very unique .	brooke wakes up and immediately smiles as she sees her ring back on her finger . bill says it is not a dream . wyatt and liam are in discussion at spencer 's and wyatt says their dad will still get his skyscraper but it will just take a little longer than he expected . bill brushes past them without a hello but whistling and they notice he is wearing his sword necklace again . bill says yes and so is brooke .. not the necklace but her engagement ring . they are getting married . quinn shows katie around the office and even points out that pam gets a little flustered but she does her best work when she shares her duties with someone . katie quips that she is not coming back to fc to be a secretary . maybe she will see eric instead . she sees eric is designing along with ridge but says she is checking in to let him know she is ready and able to help in any way she can . eric says they can always use some help and next thing you know katie says she is not experienced but she knows good fashion and she will help in any way she can . much to quinn 's chagrin katie offers to help with the jewelry . quinn tells her that she can do anything here she wants to but not work with her on the jewelry line .
kelly : dada ! thomas : s - sorry , i di -- i did n't mean to ... hope : no , it 's just ... it 's heartbreaking , little kelly missing her dad this much . [ sighs ] i can tell how much she misses liam . thomas : uh , i - i remember how attached douglas was at that age . he could n't be apart from me for , uh , an hour [ snorts softly ] let alone weeks . it seems painfully clear . kelly and phoebe need their dad . wyatt : i know that this has been terrible for both of you , especially after losing beth and everything . but at the same time , you got to admit how brave hope has been . like , she -- she has done everything to put her life back together and -- and move on . liam : yeah . wyatt : and you got to see how much that effort has been costing her . but i ca n't imagine how difficult it is for you , seeing your wife struggle , and then on top of your own grief ... liam : yeah . you know , i - i 'll be honest , it 's , um ... it 's been hell . wyatt : oh , man . liam : but -- but finally , finally it -- it feels like hope and i are starting to take a step forward , you know what i mean ? and i -- and i ca n't tell you how much it means to me that we were able to reconnect in a physical sense . i think that tells me that hope is looking to the future . sally : oh . hello . you surprising me with a trip ? quinn : you are taking a trip . a one - way . out of my son 's life . sally : wait a second . are you -- are you serious ? 'cause i ca n't tell . quinn : well , then , uh , let me clarify for you . you were down on your luck . and my son being the warm , generous person that i raised him to be , he -- he opened his home to you . and all this time later , you 're still here . i mean , you 're like the proverbial houseguest who 's never left . even though you 're doing well . you can afford a place of your own . so it 's time for you to leave . today . liam : why did you need me to rush over so fast ? wyatt : oh , that was -- that was something with my mom . forget about that . that 's not important . this -- i 'm happy for you . thing are starting to settle for you and hope . liam : yeah . i got to tell you , man , you have been so great with us . with -- with me especially . wyatt : stop . liam : i mean , i know this has always been a place that i could go for support , but , um ... i 've never been more happy to have you as a brother , honestly . wyatt : [ scoffs ] i 'm -- stop . i 'm blushing here , okay ? liam : good . you should be so embarrassed . wyatt : would you stop that ? liam : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] honestly , i mean ... i was beginning to think that hope and i would never heal from losing beth . i mean , obviously we 're always gon na grieve for our daughter , but -- but for the first time since beth , it -- it seems like hope may be open to starting a family someday . thomas : i know what it 's like to grow up without a father . hope : so do i. deacon was n't even around until i was grown , and even then ... thomas : it 's -- it 's tough as an adult . but it 's much harder as a kid . you told me how you felt about keeping liam from his family , taking off your ring and telling him to go be with steffy and the girls . i think you 're right . we know where he belongs . who needs him most . holy mother of thin . sally : you do have a point . quinn : oh , well , that 's good . i can help you pack up the rest of your things if you need help . sally : no , i meant the one about me doing better . yes , i have come a long way since the first time i saw wyatt at bikini , and , yes , i can 100 % afford my own place . quinn : oh , well , i 'm glad you 're being so reasonable . sally : please let me finish . quinn : oh . sally : wyatt has been very supportive of me . he 's guided me , and he 's never steered me wrong . so if he wants me out of his house , then fine , i 'm gone . but that is his decision , not yours -- all due respect . quinn : oh , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . do n't worry about respecting me . you need to figure out how to respect yourself . you need to find yourself some big - girl pants and put them on one leg at a time and find yourself a place to live . sally : wow . okay . where is all of this coming from ? quinn : [ sighs ] oh , i do n't know . mm . sally , maybe it 's my gut , you know ? i do n't trust you . sally : that 's unfortunate . i 'm sorry you feel that way . quinn : yeah , well , if you look at your track record , maybe you 'd understand why . sally : ah . oh , i see . i see . so you are still judging me and holding a grudge . quinn : well , you are dating my son . so you 're damn straight i am . i mean , you say you -- you love wyatt , and you 're all committed to him -- sally : i am . quinn : come on , sally ! i mean [ scoffs ] you 're living rent - free on the beach in malibu . that 's something you could only ever dream of back where you ... i mean , wherever it is you came from . sally : mm . quinn : [ scoffs ] my son took pity on you . you were going through a really rough time . but , you know , you got through it . so maybe you should stop bleeding him dry , and leave before he kicks you out , you know ? find yourself a place to live . and maybe find yourself a little bit of dignity , as well . wyatt : i expect nothing less than you being totally supportive of hope , but i know you , and -- and i know you 're torn . liam : [ sighs ] wyatt : like , kelly 's your daughter , phoebe might as well be ... liam : i know -- i know where you 're going with this . and you 're not wrong . i - i do miss the girls like crazy . wyatt : of course you do . you have a family with steffy , and right now , they 're all in paris without you . i mean , there 's got to be a part of you that wants to be there , too . liam : i mean , you know , i call them every day , and we do the video - chat thing . but it 's just ... [ sighs ] it 's not the same , you know ? and , honestly , steffy 's been gone a little longer than i expected . and i - i know this is totally irrational , but i worry , like , what if they forget me ? wyatt : what ? no . come on . well , look , maybe -- maybe it 's time for you to take a trip . hmm ? liam : no . i just -- see , i ca n't do that . i ca n't leave hope when she 's so vulnerable . wyatt : she 's not gon na be alone or anything . sally and i will be here to check on her . brooke and ridge are there on the property , too . so is thomas . i mean , there 's -- there 's gon na be somebody who can keep an eye on her . i do n't know . maybe -- maybe a trip to paris is something you should consider . hope : i think i heard phoebe in the background of that video . [ kelly babbles , phoebe cries ] yeah . that is her . i miss her so much . i miss both of them . [ sighs ] thomas : um ... can you do me a favor ? hope : okay . thomas : can you keep the existence of this video between us ? amelia sent it to me . i - i just do n't want to put her in a weird situation with steffy . hope : no worries . i wo n't say anything . i just ... it breaks my heart , and i - i hate keeping liam away from the girls . thomas : well , i hate seeing you so tortured . i care about you so much , hope . you 're a - a beautiful , sensitive , smart woman , and you -- you put other people 's feelings before you own . especially the children 's . i do n't know how we would have gotten through this without you . and wh - when i see this ... i just think about how much he -- he 's come to love you . when we left new york and we got back to l.a. , he did n't want to get up in the morning . but now he is excited to face the day 'cause he knows you 'll be a part of it . phoebe and kelly , they need liam . douglas needs you . welcome to saturday . sally : you know , i sincerely doubt that wyatt has any intention of kicking me out . this is my home . i live here . if anyone 's leaving , quinn , it 's you . quinn : you think that you 're going to kick me out of my own son 's home . sally : oh , yeah . absolutely . if you press the issue . quinn : sally , you may have wyatt fooled , but i know your type . sally : oh , okay . what 's my type ? quinn : oh , you -- you have to play the perennial victim . sally : mm . quinn : everybody needs to feel sorry for poor sally spectra , struggling through this really difficult world , when the reality is ... you 're a con artist . sally : [ hisses ] ooh . quinn : you 're a fake . sally : mm . wow . quinn : you want everyone to forget everything you did . but you know what ? you flat - out stole from the forresters . sally : that is not what happened . and for your information , that is one of my biggest regrets . look , when i came clean , the forresters forgave me . i thought you had , too . quinn : i guess not . sally : yeah , apparently . look , quinn , i know that you and i were never close , but i at least thought that we were okay . okay ? i thought you respected me as a co - worker and as your son 's girlfriend . quinn : ew . sally : i have no idea where any of this is coming from . it 's flo , is n't it ? now that flo 's back , you want flo with wyatt . quinn : [ chuckles ] wow . now you bring her up , nothing would make me happier than to see wyatt and flo together again . i love that couple . but , really , this is n't about her . this is about you . you say that you love and are committed to my son , but i do n't buy it . and i think you need to be out of his life , starting with being out of this house . sally : okay , give it up , quinn . i 'm not going anywhere . quinn : well , i think that 's a matter for me to decide . sally : really ? quinn : yeah . wyatt : hey . what -- hi . sally : just in time . your mother 's kicking me out of our home . thomas : it probably sounds self - serving , i know . look , i - i get it . i 'm -- [ sighs ] steffy 's my sister . and of course i want what 's best for her , and for her to be happy . but this is n't about her . this is about those two precious little girls who need their dad . look , i - i know that you and liam , you had a plan , okay . you were gon na have a child . and you were gon na raise her next to liam 's child with steffy . and they were gon na be sisters in every sense of the word . but , tragically , we lost beth . but there are still two precious little girls that need liam . hope : yeah , i think about them being so far away from him , and it breaks my heart . thomas : you saw the video . kelly calling out for her dad over and over . we -- we both know it needs to happen . liam needs to go to paris . and if he resists , you have to make him . [ door opens ] liam : oh . hey , thomas . did n't , uh , realize you would be ... thomas : yeah . yeah , i just , uh -- i stopped by to check on hope . i - i can , uh -- hope : no , it 's fine . uh , we just got to talking about steffy and the girls . and , liam , look ... sweetheart , you know how much i love you , right ? liam : uh , yeah . and i love -- i love you , too . hope : s - so this does n't come as easy an easy thing to say -- liam : okay . something is wrong . can you just say it ? what 's going on ? hope : i 've asked you this before , but this time , i absolutely ca n't take no for an answer . hope : you have to go to paris and be with kelly and phoebe . they need you . i wanted more from wyatt : i ca n't believe you right now . you do n't get to kick my girlfriend out of my house . quinn : she does n't deserve to be here . wyatt : that 's not for you to decide ! quinn : she 's not committed to you , and you know what i 'm talking about . wyatt : i -- mmmm . oh . quinn : besides which , you rolled out the red carpet for this one . you put your relationship with your father and your future at spencer publications on the line so she could have her own fashion house . and what does she do ? huh ? she strings you along , and then decides , `` oh , i 'm gon na stay at forrester anyway . `` she took this beautiful gift that you offered her and she threw it right in your face . wyatt : [ huffs ] quinn : he 's not gon na tell you , but he was hurt and disappointed by your choices . wyatt : you know what , mom -- mom . quinn : that 's what he told -- tell her what you told me . wyatt : mom ! quinn : tell her ! wyatt : leave ! it is time for you to leave . now . i - i -- i am so sorry about that . sally : is what she said true ? wyatt : [ stammers ] no . i - i -- i really do n't want to talk about my mother right now . please . i 'm sorry . liam : all due respect , thomas , i feel like this is a conversation between hope and me . hope : well , it affects thomas , too . steffy is his sister . kelly and phoebe are his nieces . and we all want what 's best for them . look , i am not even kelly and phoebe 's mother , and i miss them something awful . so you have to be missing them so much more . liam : of -- of course i do , but that 's not the issue -- hope : okay . so you should go to them . liam : [ sighs ] hope : liam , look , i know why you 've been hesitant to leave me , because i have been in such a - a fragile state ever since we lost beth . and i love you so much for caring about me and always making me a priority , but ... hey , i 'm doing better now , and i think you know that , too . right ? so you do n't have to worry about me . you do n't have to stay glued by my side . okay ? i 'm not gon na be alone . my mom 's at the house with ridge , and thomas and douglas are here , too . liam : all right , all right . thomas : i 'll make sure she 's okay . hope : yeah . i 'll be fine . really . thomas : yeah , as it so happens , the forrester legal team 's actually heading to paris , so you could hitch a ride . hope : see ? that 's perfect . liam : [ sighs ] hope : it 's almost like a sign . liam : wow . the timing of this is ... [ chuckles ] it 's kind of crazy . i - i actually was just telling wyatt how much i miss the girls . and -- and they do go through a lot of changes at this age ... hope : i know . and so you do n't want to miss that . i mean , that is time that you ca n't get back . thomas : i can have them hold the jet for you . hope : liam , go . you 're gon na be with the girls before you know it , tucking them into bed by tomorrow night . sweetheart , look , i can see how much you want to go . okay ? and i want you to . go to paris . liam : okay . hope : yes ? liam : okay . hope : you 'll go ? liam : yeah , yeah . i 'll go . hope : [ chuckles ] liam : i 'll go . i believe her when she says that she 's doing better , but you -- you got to know , hope 's been through something devastating , and -- and i ... have noticed that she does a lot better when douglas is around . so maybe -- maybe you bring him by once in a while , spend some time together . thomas : i think we can work something out . and for what it 's worth , uh , i think you 're making the right call . i know amelia and my mom are in paris with steffy , but those little girls need you . and -- and do n't worry about hope . she 's in good hands . liam : i appreciate it . thank you . thomas : all right . well , i 'll make arrangements with the pilot . liam : all right . thanks , thomas . wow . so you 're sure about this ? hope : i am . and it makes me happy to know that kelly and phoebe are gon na be reunited with their dad soon . and , you know , like you said , i 'll be in good hands . so you -- you do n't have to worry , okay ? liam : i do n't love the idea of leaving you right when we 're starting to get ... closer , you know ... hope : i know . i know . but think of it like a pause . you know ? maybe ... maybe it will be good for us to miss each other . hey . i love you . with all my heart . liam : yeah . okay . hope : [ chuckles ] liam : like you said , it 's a pause . i take a quick trip , and then we 're back on track . i love you , too .	hope looks at the video of kelly calling out for her daddy . thomas tells her he did not mean to cause her any more pain but it is clear that both kelly and phoebe need their dad . he even reminds her that she told him that she took off her ring and told liam once to go to steffy . he thinks she is right as they belong together for the girls . he laments to her that douglas did not want to come back to los angeles but now that he is here and met hope he wakens with a new enthusiasm every day and it is because of hope . he needs her . liam tells wyatt he appreciates all he has done and it looks like things are about to turn around for him and hope . wyatt says if he wants to go to paris for a few days then there are plenty to watch over hope so she will not be alone . he and sally will be there for her and she is on brooke and ridge 's property and then there is thomas . so someone will be there with her at all times . sally comes home and finds quinn making herself comfortable on her couch sipping wine . she 's nice but almost too nice when she says sally is the one who is leaving . she is like a bad houseguest that does not know when to go , today is that day . she even offers to help her pack . quinn tells her she needs to pull on her big girl panties one leg at a time . just look at her track record and she will know why . wyatt took pity on her and sally should have some dignity as well . she found an easy life with a beach house in malibu . sally tells her she is living in a dream world if she thinks quinn is going to kick her out . this is her home now . and she will be the one to kick quinn out if she makes an issue of this . she would give it up if she were quinn . wyatt walks in before it goes further .
stephanie : what are you doing ? brooke : trying to figure out who to call first . associated press , reuters ? i mean , this is a big , big story , right ? stephanie forrester , american icon , first lady of fashion , patron saint , finally exposed as a fraud . megan , get jerry springer on the line for me , please . stephanie : are you crazy ? you ca n't do something like that ! not to me ! not to me . darla : yes . mm - hmm . and then , after the -- the procedure , how long will i be in recovery ? all right . i will . okay , thank you . bye . well , that 's taken care of now , thorne . you can go . thorne : darla -- darla : you and macy have an appointment today , do n't you ? with your fertility specialist ? god -- do n't tell me god has a sense of humor , huh ? thorne : i 'm sorry . darla : me , too . you should go . thorne : i do n't want to . darla : no , it 's okay . just go . oh , god , thorne , please go . please go . it 's okay .

please , let 's be honest here . this is all about revenge on your part . brooke : and do n't you think i 'm entitled , after everything that you put me through ? stephanie : that i 've put you through ? brooke : yes . oh , my god , you still do n't even see it , do you ? everything you 've done to me is much worse than anything i 've ever done to you . stephanie : oh , worse than having your son - in - law 's baby ? brooke : okay . okay , you know what ? you just keep telling yourself how far superior you are . but i do n't think eric 's going to see it that way . dr . sanders : hello , macy . macy : doctor , hi . dr. sanders : no thorne ? macy : not yet . i 'm sure he 's on his way , though . dr. sanders : should we wait ? macy : no . i 'm -- i 'm just so anxious to hear what you found . dr. sanders : i can imagine . macy : so this was a much more detailed image than what you saw on the hsg ? dr. sanders : yes , it was . macy : and -- and was the blockage what you thought ? dr. sanders : uh - huh . scar tissue from secondary infections after the accident . macy : well , do you still think you can remove it ? dr. sanders : it 's a possibility . macy : that 's -- that 's wonderful . thorne is gon na be so happy . i mean , i realize if you had said no , that in vitro fertilization was an option , but , you know , of course , we 'd rather not go through all of that . dr. sanders : macy -- there 's something else . stephanie : ridge will never forgive you . brooke : he 's protecting you , stephanie . you 're his mother . he loves you . for some reason , i do n't feel that same sense of obligation , and why should i ? stephanie : how would you like me to have treated you ? oh , miss logan , it 's so nice to meet you . please come in . and while you 're at it , have sex with my husband -- my sons , as well . and i would be eternally grateful if you 'd break up their marriages , too . brooke : keep digging that hole , stephanie . i 'm gon na love burying you in it . stephanie : could we just forget about you and me for a moment ? brooke : yeah , you 'd like that , would n't you ? stephanie : could you just think about the family ? the family that you keep telling me you want to be part of . brooke : kristen and thorne are going to be fascinated to find out what their sainted mother 's been up to . and bridget -- she looks up to you so much . she always wanted me to be just like you . she 's gon na be really surprised to find out that her big brother is n't her big brother after all . stephanie : if this comes out , bridget 's the one that 's gon na surprise you . brooke : bridget ? what do you mean ? ridge . ridge -- what you 've been through . i 'm so sorry . it all makes sense to me now . everything you said about being confused , not knowing who you are . you 'd just found out that massimo is your father . ridge : yeah , it 's been one hell of a ride . brooke : i 'm here if you need me . ridge : thanks . brooke : why did n't you tell me ? stephanie : because he does n't trust you . she wants to tell eric , and she 's threatening to go to the media . brooke : the truth has to come out , ridge . you ca n't keep living like this . stephanie : ridge , you stop her . dr. sanders : hello , mr . forrester . thorne : hi . sorry i 'm late . i -- it 's bad news ? macy : doctor , could you just give us a minute ? dr. sanders : of course . i 'll be just down the hall in my office if you have any more questions . thorne : thank you . dr. sanders : mm - hmm . thorne : they could n't remove the scar tissue ? macy : she still may be able to do that . thorne : really ? well , that sounds like good news . macy : there 's more . when she did the laparoscopy , she found something -- a growth . thorne : what ? macy : in my uterus , and the doctor said that it -- it might be cancerous . stephanie : she just wants revenge . she does n't give a damn about our family . brooke : like you do ? she 's just trying to save her own neck . eric deserves to know the truth . it would set him free . he could find someone worthy of him . ridge : brooke -- you want to get her back . i -- i actually understand that . but i ca n't let you do that , brooke . brooke : ridge , no . it has to come out . it 'd be for the best . ridge : the best for whom , brooke ? brooke : for everybody . for you . you 're living a lie . honesty means so much to you . ridge : brooke , there are things that are more important than that right now . brooke : like what ? ridge : my kids . i do n't want to put them through this . brooke : ridge , this does n't have to affect them . ridge : of course it 's going to affect them . they just lost their mother . they 're just feeling they got their feet back on the ground now . now i 'm gon na take away their grandfather , their name , their identity ? brooke : no , we can help them work through this . ridge : why ? so you can extract your pound of flesh here ? brooke : has she ever shown me any mercy ? ridge : okay , look , look , do n't -- do n't keep this secret for her . keep it for my kids . keep it for dad . keep it for me . brooke : god , ridge , you 're asking too much . ridge : come on , brooke , come on . brooke : no , she is going to pay . she needs to suffer the way she made me suffer all of these years . ridge : i understand why you 're feeling this way . i really do . brooke : no . no , you don't . you know , she looked at me in the eye and she told me that i was a slut , that i was nothing , that i was so disgusting that nobody would ever love me . and i actually believed her , because i respected her . if i 'd known who she really was and this lie that she 's been living , things would be different , ridge . things would be completely different . stephanie : oh . so now it 's my fault your whole life ? ridge : oh , mother , come on , stop it . brooke : i ca n't get those years back . i ca n't even convince her that she 's wrong . but i can give her a little taste of what she 's given me . you are going down , stephanie forrester . and i 'm gon na love every minute of it . turn down the light turn down the bed turn down these voices inside my head lay down with me tell me no lies just hold me close do n't patronize do n't patronize me 'cause i ca n't make you love me if you do n't you ca n't make your heart beat something it wo n't here in the dark in these final hours i will lay down my heart and i 'll feel the power but you wo n't no , you wo n't 'cause i ca n't make you love me if you do n't darla : it 's macy 's future . not mine . thorne : cancer ? macy : she does n't know yet . she wants to do a biopsy . thorne : oh , my god . but look , even if it is , they caught it early , okay ? and macy , they did n't even see it on the first x - ray . macy : i know . i know . it 's probably nothing . thorne : right . you 're right . it 's not . hey , we 've overcome a lot worse than this . macy : i know . thorne : when 's the biopsy ? macy : tomorrow . thorne : tomorrow ? macy : i need to know , thorne . if i have to wait to find out , then i 'm just gon na go crazy . thorne : i know , so will i . how soon can they tell us ? macy : right away . dr. sanders is gon na have a pathologist waiting . and if the growth is benign , then they 're gon na go ahead and do microsurgery on the tubes to remove the blockage . which is great . then after -- after i recover , we can go ahead and start trying to have our baby . thorne : right . macy , what if it 's not benign ? macy : well , that depends . they may be able to cut it out if it has n't spread at all . which it probably has n't . i mean , like you said , they -- they caught it early , right ? thorne : right . right . did she give you a worst - case scenario ? macy : she -- she asked me to sign a release . thorne : what kind of release ? macy : to give her permission to do a hysterectomy . thorne : oh , honey -- macy : it 's not gon na happen , thorne , though . it 's just a precaution . thorne : i know . i know . i know it is . ridge : all right , let 's just all calm down for a minute . brooke : i 'm sorry . i know this is not what you want . ridge : this ca n't happen , brooke . you can not tell anyone massimo is my father . stephanie : he 'll never forgive you . brooke : he will . in fact , someday , you 're going to thank me , ridge . ridge : for what ?

how am i going to look eric in the eye ? ridge : the same way i do , brooke . the man is happy . he 's put his marriage back together , and he 's very proud of that . brooke : because he does n't know who she is . he never has . my god , she was living with massimo , her ex - lover , while she was beating up on eric for supporting me , his ex - wife . ridge : i know all that . brooke : well , then , you know why i need to expose her . ridge : brooke , listen to me . please , put your personal interests aside . you promised me that you 'd be the woman i could count on , the woman my kids can count on . well , that 's exactly what i need right now . brooke : ridge , it 's wrong . ridge : i 'm asking you , please , i 'm begging you , do this for me . please do this for me . brooke : you 're off the hook . seems like nobody 's going to hear about your dirty , little secrets . not from me , anyway . the whole world 's going to believe that you 're a saint -- even your husband . but you and i will know better , wo n't we ?

[ scene_break ] felicia : so you 're planning to take my son to italy whether i want you to or not ? bridget : i thought he was our son , felicia . felicia : he is . bridget : you 're the one that convinced me that sharing him could actually work . felicia : i meant sharing him together . i never dreamed you 'd want to take him away from me , out of the country . bridget : well , his father is italian . felicia : so ? have him invite his whole italian family to los angeles . i 'll pay for the tab . bridget : dante wants to take dino to visit his grandparents , at their home . felicia : well , it ca n't happen . not now . i need dominick here with me . take him to italy after i 'm gone , okay ? bridget : felicia , your white blood cell count is almost normal . you do n't have to live each day as if it were your last . and we 'll be back before you know it . look , i 've written down all of the names , phone numbers and address where we can be reached and who we will be with . and dante 's cousin has a web -cam , and we 're gon na set it up so dino can wave to you every night . felicia : bridget , i am asking you not to do this . please do n't make me beg . stephanie : what 's going on ? felicia : bridget and dante want to take dominick out of the country . bridget : to italy ! so dante 's parents can meet their grandson . apparently , someone forgot to mention it . stephanie : well , i just assumed the trip was off . bridget : well , it 's not . stephanie : i do n't think this is a wise thing to do . bridget : excuse me ? stephanie : i think the baby should stay here , with his mother . where he belongs . [ scene_break ] nick : what are you doing here ? massimo : we need to talk . in a strange , funny way , i 'm proud of you for sticking up for what you believe . you 're angry at me now , but someday you 'll understand . you do n't have the perspective of appreciating the bigger picture . nick : what picture is that ? massimo : family . family is everything . our history , our future -- jackie : our morality . massimo : you dare use that word with me ? jackie : i 'm not afraid of you . massimo : so you enjoy being imprisoned and being stripped of your dignity ? jackie : i may have been framed and falsely arrested , but i never lost my dignity . i did n't deserve this , massimo . not for having an affair with deacon sharpe , or supporting our son in his relationship with brooke . i 'll never forgive you . massimo : you think i 'm here to ask for forgiveness ? [ massimo sighs ] i am here to try to make things right with our son , and you are damn well going to hear it . jackie : our son is in love . brooke may not be your choice , but she is his , and u should respect that . massimo : brooke is the mother of his brother 's child . where is the respect in that ? nick : you want me to respect a man that has treated her like dirt for the last two decades ? massimo : all right . dominick -- you 're gon na lose . however ridge has treated her , brooke has always gone back , time and time again . and this time is not gon na be any different . nick : the only one who loses here is forrester . because he 's chasing something that 's never going to happen .

[ ringing continues ] shirley : what 's that say ? darlita : i do n't know . uh ... shirley : it 's your handwriting . darlita : oh , gosh , it 's like turkey scratch . shirley : how many units is this ? darlita : 40 ? i think . shirley : you think ? saul : go easy on her , shirl . it is bonkers around here . the orders just keep pouring in . shirley : [ giggles ] you hear that , sally girl ? the buyers ca n't get enough of us . that should put a smile on your face . come on , honey ! look , with all these purchase orders ... you know what , we 're almost out of debt already ! come on ! you should feel like a million bucks ! sally : yeah , i would , if they were my designs and not forrester knockoffs , and if we had n't used my innocent little sister to steal them . just leave your information with me on your way out , and i 'll have someone contact you . coco : thanks . thank you . mm - hmm . nicole : what was that about ? coco : um , well , i 'm looking for a job , and the manager said i could interview . nicole : you 're giving up on fashion ? coco : for now , anyway . i 'm not welcome over at forrester for obvious reasons , and i , um ... i ca n't face my family . nicole : well , what about you and r.j. ? where do things stand ? r.j. : i 'm not giving up on coco . i 've texted , called but she has n't responded . zende : sounds like guilt to me . r.j. : she might feel guilty , but she should n't . none of this is her fault . zende : look , this might tough for you to hear . but it 's best that you have nothing to do with her or her family ever again . look , they ripped us off . now , you know we ca n't let the spectras get away with that . sally : you do n't get it . none of you do . saul : yeah , i do . you -- you had a dream . you also felt you had a shot with thomas forrester . now you do n't have either . sally : well , that makes me feel a lot better . shirley : look , sally , you wanted us to be a legit fashion house again , but -- darlita : we all did . shirley : reality came crashing down on us , and so we 're a knockoff shop again . it is not the end of the world ! we are moving product like hotcakes ! we did it ! there 's nothing to worry about . ridge : all right , what 's going on ? why are you here ? carter : i wanted to exhaust all our options . steffy : but you told my grandfather that a legal battle would be pointless , that sally 's alterations would just keep a lawsuit at bay . carter : well , at the time , that 's what i believed , but after doing some digging ... ridge : carter , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . why did you bring lt . baker ? do we have a case ? lt . baker : well , if you choose to , you could prosecute spectra fashions for grand larceny and industrial espionage , particularly the ringleader , sally spectra . ms. spectra could be sued for up to $ 10 million in damages and a possible jail sentence of 15 years . carter : you do n't have to go that severe . ridge : i know what you 're gon na say , carter . i know what you 're gon na say . but we 're gon na prosecute . right away . file the papers . thank you . steffy : just see to it that sally spectra pays dearly . everyone involved , including coco . lt . baker : which one is coco ? carter : sally 's sister , the intern they allegedly planted the spy cams on . ridge : let 's do this . what do you need from us ? lt . baker : well , mr. forrester , i know that you 're eager , but -- carter : we can push things forward . we have a better case than we thought . but if you want the best chance at a positive verdict , we need the right testimony from someone on the inside at spectra . why do n't we let you digest all this ? i 'll be in my office . steffy : we 're pressing charges , but ... a confession ? ridge : there was one person , one person who claimed she was honorable and a victim in all this . steffy : coco . nicole : so , you 've probably heard from r.j. what has he been saying ? coco : i have n't really responded to his calls or texts . nicole : why ? coco : i do n't know , i just -- i do n't want to complicate things for him with his parents . they want me gone , and i respect that they 're just looking out for him . nicole : but you 're innocent . i know it , and r.j. knows it , too . coco : yeah , i just -- i just wish there was something that i could do , you know , to make it right with his family and prove that i was n't disloyal . [ cell phone chimes ] r.j. : oh . dad texted me . wants me to see him in his office . zende : he say why ? r.j. : no , but i can only guess . zende : coco and the spectras . r.j. : coco and the spectras . all right , man . i 'll see you . zende : all right , buddy . coco : hi , um ... is it reggie ? r.j. : no . r.j. just the letters . coco : okay . i 'm sorry . r.j. : no , not a problem . it 's definitely not a problem . r.j. : [ laughs ] i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . just -- coco : what ? r.j. : i 'm not usually like this . coco : [ laughing ] like what ? okay , look , whatever you have to say , it 's okay . you can just say it . r.j. : here i am , thinking i 've never met anyone so warm , honest , and good . sally : read my lips , grams . i am never poaching designs again , especially from forrester . saul : well , we burned that bridge anyway . there 's no way that any of the spectras are ever gon na get near that building , much less any of the forresters themselves . shirley : hey ! you remember these words . `` where there 's a will , there 's a way . `` sally : that is exactly my point . i 'm not willing to go through it again . okay ? the next designs that hit the spectra catwalk will be mine . they will either fly or they will tank , but at least i wo n't have another moment like i did this time at the end of the runway . standing out there , basking in all of the applause , only to look out and see thomas ' face , filled with disappointment and a sense of betrayal . i hurt someone that i really , truly cared about , grams . someone who believed in me and someone who trusted me . just like coco did . but , you know what , it 's probably too late for me and thomas , but at least i can salvage something with coco , hopefully , and she can salvage something with r.j. because there is no reason that she needs to pay for my screw - ups . losing a job and a guy that she really , truly cares about . r.j. : what 's up ? ridge : can you close the door , please ? we want to talk to you about coco . r.j. : well , i 'll say it again . she did n't know what sally and her grandmother were up to . coco was used . you have to believe me . steffy : we want to believe you , r.j . r.j. : but ... ? nicole : i know you 're disappointed in sally . coco : yeah , she knew how i felt about doing anything underhanded , but she did n't respect my feelings or our bond as sisters . and now that bond is broken . maybe forever . shirley : sally , honey , coco 's young . r.j. is her first crush . he wo n't be the last to break her heart . sally : he did n't . i did . i let her down , grams . shirley : well , what about all the people that you did n't let down ? us ! the workers ! the sewers ! we were counting on you , and you came through like gangbusters ! saul : plus , think about your great aunt sally . all she wanted was for spectra to rise from the ashes , and look , it has . now , sure , it did n't happen in quite the way you had hoped , but at least we are n't facing the wrecking ball anymore , and that is something to be proud of , right ? sally : [ sighs ] okay . okay ! okay . i hear you . both of you . all right ? i will ride out the stolen collection for a little bit longer and get spectra back in the black . shirley : attagirl . sally : but ! moving forward , we rise or we fall on our own , okay ? there is no more crossing the line . we are gon na do this so squeaky - clean and so above board ... who knows ? maybe we 'll even win back coco 's trust and impress the forresters one day . if i live that long . ridge : i know you want to believe that coco is a good person . i want to believe that , too . steffy : but her family 's cost us so much . they hurt our reputation . ridge : we had to throw out a whole collection . all that works down the tubes . steffy : not to mention all the money that we 're losing . we have to start over . ridge : and it 's not just the money ... r.j. : okay , i know , i know . i hate that the spectras pulled too , but coco was n't involved with that . steffy : you say that because you have a crush on her . r.j. : okay , that 's not what this is about . it 's about defending someone who 's good and decent , who actually has values . coco was horrified by what happened . steffy : well , i hope that 's true . because we might have a case against her . r.j. : i thought carter talked to granddad . steffy : carter dug deeper , he spoke to his colleagues , and he figured ... ridge : all right . take it easy . r.j. go talk to her , and if she is who you think she is , she 'll do the right thing . r.j. : what do you want ? ridge : i want her to tell the truth . steffy : r.j. , you have to convince her to do the right thing . ridge : we need a signed confession from coco saying that she knows what happened with spectra and what they did . steffy : they stole our designs . coco can help us in court . you have to realize how important this is . shirley : news flash , missy ! you could walk on water , and you will never be good enough for the forresters . sally : okay , maybe not ! all right ? but my days of plundering and pilfering are done . may have worked for my namesake , but it is not who i am . shirley : oh ! so you 're turning your back on your great aunt sally . judging her . saul : no ! she 's not judging -- well , she 's not judging her , shirley ! your sister was not a designer ! but your granddaughter ... your granddaughter is . darlita : yeah . sally : exactly . all right , i may have struck out the first time at bat , at least according to jarrett ... but i am gon na buckle down and i 'm gon na work my tail off to become the best blankety - blank designer that i can be . so that one day , we can all compete with the forresters honestly . nicole : thank you . i understand how you feel . i do n't know what i 'd do without maya . coco : exactly . and sally was always the big sister that i looked up to , that i thought i knew , and then she does something like this , and it 's ... did i know her at all ? nicole : you 're in a tough spot . it 's hard when family lets you down , but as terrible as you feel about everything that 's happened at forrester ... sally 's still your sister . coco : so you 're saying i should forgive sally ? nicole : i 'm saying that even the people we love and who love us make mistakes sometimes . coco : what sally did was more than just a mistake . nicole : i know . but more importantly , i think that she knows that , too . still , it 's what she does moving forward and what you do that really matters . steffy : [ sighs ] r.j. , obviously you believe coco knows right from wrong . r.j. : yeah , obviously . ridge : then she should step up and do the right thing . steffy : especially since she 's already confessed to you . r.j. : yeah , but now we 're talking about lawyers and signing confessions . ridge : i know , i know this sounds scary , but if we 're gon na hold spectra 's feet to the fire , we have to do this . r.j. : what 's gon na happen ? steffy : well , we would have a judge or jury . they would decide damages . r.j. : you mean monetary compensation . ridge : we 're talking about millions of dollars here , r.j . r.j. : spectra does not have millions of dollars . they 'd go bankrupt . i guess they deserve that . steffy : well , they should have thought about that before they stole from us . ridge : and there may also be some prison time . r.j. : really ? how long ? steffy : [ sighs ] possibly up to 15 years . industrial espionage and grand larceny are very serious crimes . r.j. : 15 years . wow , um ... and you want me to talk to coco . ridge : we want you to convince her to do the right thing . r.j. : dad , we 're talking about sending her sister to prison ! ridge : all right , we do n't know that . we do n't know for how long , but yes , there 's probably gon na be some jail time . steffy : we ca n't allow sally to go unpunished . if we do , then she can do it again . or she could do it to a different fashion house . r.j. : what about thomas ? ridge : what about him ? r.j. : he has a thing for sally . steffy : had a thing . it 's done now . ridge : and we 're done , too . with all of them . r.j. : 15 years . if coco agrees to this , she 's gon na be putting away her sister for a long time . ridge : her sister brought this on herself . it has to be done .	steffy asks ridge if he is giving up on brooke . he says no , she has been engaged before and nothing happened . he just wants to focus on the new collection . spectra stole theirs so their hands are tied . nicole has lunch with coco . nicole says she feels badly about what happened . coco says not only did fc get hurt badly but her own relationship with her sister . so now she is looking for a job . she does not know where she stands with rj . but rj tells zende none of this is coco 's fault and he will not give up on her . zende says this is not the first time so the forrester 's are not going to let the spectra 's get away with this . shirley tells sally there is nothing to worry about . they have always been a knockoff house so it is still that way and the orders are pouring in . they will be okay . carter brings lt . baker in to explain to ridge and steffy what they can legally do about the rip - offs . ridge thanks them and says file the papers right away ; they are going to prosecute . yes they can prosecute but they really need a confession . ridge says the only one that was honorable over there and claimed she was innocent was coco . sally tells shirley to read her lips . she is never going to poach any designs again . all her designs from now on , sink or swim , will be her own . she hurt someone she really cared about her and also coco . it is too late with thomas but not ruined for her and coco and maybe for coco with rj . she should not have to pay for her sins .
eric : you 're trying to shut me up , are n't you ? stephanie : yes . thank you for loving me , even though you were disappointed in me . eric : i was , and i still am . you 're not off the hook , what you did to brooke . stephanie : i did what i thought was best for her . eric : you forced her into accepting nick 's proposal . stephanie : no . she made her own decision . eric : after months and months of relentless manipulation , yes . stephanie : did we not agree to disagree , and are we not supposed to be here for thorne ? eric : yes . yes , we are . and we 're not going to make the same mistakes with thorne that we made with ridge . thorne 's an adult . he does n't need to be coddled by his parents . when i think of all the mistakes we made forcing decisions on our children -- stephanie : he wants you to make this decision . eric : and he wants me to be objective about it . stephanie : no , eric . he needs to know that you love him . he wants you to make him president of forrester creations . darla : here you go , babe . okay . thorne : you know what ? maybe we should wait in the lobby . darla : why ? in a few minutes , this is gon na be your office anyway -- mr. president . thorne : because i do n't want to jinx it . darla : oh , like you could . come on . thorne : you know , they do n't have to say yes . darla : sweetie , i know how hard this must be for you . you know , you 're not just asking your parents for a promotion . you 're asking them to acknowledge your place in this family . thorne : but can you really ask someone for that ? darla : honey , you had to . your whole life , ridge has always been the star , you know , and you 've been the hard - working , honest , dependable brother -- which is something that i love about you , so very much . you do n't have to be the center of attention . you 're good at what you do and you know who you are , and that 's what makes you so special . your parents are gon na see that , too -- once you get out of that shadow which is ridge forrester . but i think in order to do that , you know , you 're gon na have to stand up , make some noise . [ phone beeps ] thorne : yes , megan ? they are . okay . we 'll be right there . [ thorne sighs ] okay , mom and dad are ready to see me . caitlin : oh . oh , no . samantha : oh , good . you found my samples . did you call the distributor ? caitlin ? caitlin , what 's wrong ? caitlin : it 's my birthday . it 's coming up . samantha : oh , when ? caitlin : week after next . samantha : well , you do n't look very excited . what 's wrong ? caitlin : this year , it 's on mother 's day . hector : amber . what are you doing here ? amber : i want to help you , hector . hector : i do n't understand . amber : neither did i . but now , it all makes perfect sense . the way you reacted to samantha at the restaurant , the reason why you do n't want caitlin working at forrester creations -- you have to tell her . it 's time to tell your daughter the truth . eric : hey . stephanie : hello , sweetheart . hi , darla . darla : hi , stephanie . eric : thorne called us , told us the good news . congratulations . darla : yes , thank you . [ laughter ] stephanie : ooh ! you 'll have to let us give you an engagement party . darla : well , thank you . thank you very much . maybe we 'll have a little more to celebrate after this meeting is over . eric : well , let 's get started . stephanie : thank you . [ eric clears his throat ] eric : thorne , the last time we met , you asked me to consider making you president of forrester creations . i 'm sure you were hoping for a more immediate response . but i 'm sure you 'll understand that this is a very complicated business decision . there are many , many factors to consider , not the least of which is the position you hold now . thorne : well , you can find someone to replace me . eric : no , thorne . i 'm not sure i 'm going to be able to do that . look , the success of any business is its foundation . this business is about relationships , thorne . and no one 's done a better job at establishing those relationships than you have . thorne : wait a minute -- what are you saying ? you ca n't promote me because i 'm too good at the job i already have ? stephanie : we want you to know how valuable you are . eric : thorne , your contributions to this company have been invaluable . we want you to know that you 're very , very appreciated here . thorne : but you want me to stay where i am . is that it ? dad , are you turning me down ? amber : caitlin deserves to know the truth about her mother . hector : what do you mean , `` the truth `` ? amber : i was here , hector . hector : when ? amber : the other day . i stopped by to drop something off , and you were with a woman . i did n't want to interrupt . hector : so you just hung around ? amber : you know , i know this must be difficult for you , keeping this a secret . hector : what secret ? amber : that woman you were talking to is samantha kelly 's mother . hector : you know priscilla kelly ? amber : she 's a friend of the forresters . she 's also caitlin 's grandmother . hector : you 're mistaken . amber : i 'm not . hector : you were eavesdropping on a private conversation . amber : i was worried about you , hector ! hector : that does n't give you the right to break into my house . amber : oh ! jimmy let me in on his way out ! hector : i want you to leave . amber : i 'm not going to tell anybody . hector : there is nothing to tell . do you hear me ? you do n't have any idea what you 're talking about . samantha : you 're sad because your birthday 's on mother 's day ? caitlin : as if it was n't depressing enough . samantha : your birthday is depressing ? caitlin : it 's my mother . she 's gone , and she has been for a long time . my birthday just kind of brings it up . samantha : she left you ? caitlin : she died . samantha : i 'm sorry . i -- i did n't know . caitlin : it 's not something that my family talks about . i know i should n't feel guilty , but sometimes i do . samantha : well , i do n't see why your mother 's death should make you feel guilty ? caitlin : she died giving birth to me . so every year , my family 's reminded that i 'm here and she 's not . [ samantha sighs ] samantha : i know something about that . it 's called `` survivor 's guilt . `` i lost someone once very close to me , and i felt the same way . but you have to remember , caitlin , that it 's not your fault . caitlin : that 's what my dad says . but i can tell it 's hard on him . i 'll be opening my presents , and i 'll catch him looking at me . he tries to hide it . he does n't want to hurt me . but i can tell that he 's thinking about what happened that day , too . thorne : if you 're going to turn me down , just say it if you do n't want me to be president . eric : i did n't say that . thorne : but that 's what you 're going to do , are n't you ? eric : is that what you expect me to do ? thorne : i expect you to give me an answer , not a pat on the head or some belated compliments of what a good job i 've done . eric : you think you 've been taken for granted ? thorne : that surprises you ? i 've played second fiddle my whole life . ridge is n't here now , and i 've got a lot more to offer this company than just my team spirit . stephanie : sweetheart , i know that your job has not been as glamorous as your brother 's , but believe me , you 've been equally as important . eric : this is n't about your brother . this is a business decision . thorne : yeah , i know that . eric : then you understand why i ca n't let my personal feelings dictate my choice . thorne : i do n't want this job because i 'm your son . i want this job because i know that i can do it ! eric : you believe that ? darla : mr. forrester , he would n't be here if he did n't believe it . it took a lot of courage for thorne to come to you with this . eric : darla , it 'll take a lot more than that to do this job . do you think he 's up to the challenge ? darla : sir , he wants to marry me . i believe he 's up for anything . stephanie : i think you 've been a wonderful influence on him , darla . darla : thank you very much , stephanie . eric : if you influenced thorne to ask for this job , you 've been an influence on this company , too . darla : well , of course , it was all thorne 's idea . but i do support him 110 % . eric : he would need a lot more than that , i can tell you . thorne : you 've made your decision . eric : yes , i have . [ thorne sighs ] thorne : what 's that ? eric : the future of forrester creations . congratulations , mr. president . [ darla laughs ] amber : you know , i know samantha broke your heart , but you did n't tell me she got pregnant . hector : i put samantha kelly behind me a long time ago . amber : you want to make sure she stays out of your life . hector : and so does priscilla . that 's what we were fighting about . i already told you the woman hates my guts . she always has . amber : that 's why she did n't want samantha to raise your baby . hector : we 're talking about my baby . it was her baby , okay ? samantha . she heard that we ran into each other . amber : that 's not what i heard . hector : well , you heard wrong . amber : i heard you , hector ! okay , i was right outside your window ! now , you can deny it , you can tell me you think i 'm crazy , but i know what 's going on , and i think it 's time caitlin did , too . hector : you stay away from my daughter ! do you hear me ? i tried to help you , and this is how you repay me , by threatening my family ? amber : i 'm not threatening -- hector : yes , you are ! what you 're saying could destroy everything i care about . i will not let that happen , amber . i wo n't let you do it . amber : i only came here to try and talk to you . hector : you ambush me in my home , accuse me of lying to my daughter ? ! amber : no , i was concerned , okay ? ! i was worried about you , what you must be going through ! i -- i could n't get it out of my head , you know , what i had heard . so i -- i 'm sorry . i should go . hector : you wait ! amber : hector , let me go ! hector : we 're not finished ! amber : you 're scaring me ! i 'm sorry , okay ? i -- i should n't have said anything . not -- not to you . and i 'm not going to . i 'm not going to say anything to caitlin or anybody , okay ? i just wanted to help you , you know ? i mean , you 've been so kind to me , and i knew what you were going through , and i thought -- hector : my god . what am i doing ? amber : it 's true , is n't it ? samantha is caitlin 's mother . hector : i 've guarded this secret my whole life . there are only three people in the world who know the truth -- samantha , priscilla and me . amber : well , i guess now there 's one more . caitlin : i ca n't believe i 'm telling you all this . samantha : you need to talk . i understand . caitlin : you said that you lost someone , too . samantha : i wish i could tell you that as you get older , it gets easier . caitlin : dad 's proof it does n't . samantha : your mother must 've been a very special person . caitlin : i do n't know that much about her . it 's too hard for him to talk about . so i made up my own stories . caitlin : do you think that 's weird ? samantha : not at all . caitlin : i used to write about her in my diary . my mother is beautiful . my mother is smart . samantha : what else ? caitlin : she 's creative , like me . she adores my father . and she 's the only one in the world that laughs at his jokes . she loves animals and babies . she braids my hair . my dad 's terrible at braiding . she 's always there , when i get home from school , when i go to sleep at night , whenever i need her . [ caitlin sobs ] samantha : hey , shh - shh , no . do n't cry . no . your mother is still with you , and she loves you very much . that 's okay . that 's okay . thorne : president . you 're giving me the job . eric : you earned it . darla : i told you . thorne : thank you . eric : you might not be so grateful when you see the list of responsibilities . thorne : yeah ? well , you bring it on . [ eric laughs ] stephanie : darla said you were ready for anything , and i think she was right . thorne : well , i was definitely ready for this . stephanie : it 's been a long time coming , sweetheart . thorne : listen mom , about what i said earlier about ridge -- eric : it 's all right . we understand . thorne : no , dad , i do n't think you do . you see , for you this was -- this was a business decision . but for me , it -- god , what a relief . [ thorne sighs ] i feel so much lighter . you know , people talk about ignoring the elephant in the room . guess if i 'd never brought it up , i could pretend it was n't there . i could pretend that ridge and i were equals and that he really was n't your favorite . but now , i know that you respect and admire me , too , and for the first time in my life , i do n't feel like the other son . you have no idea what this means to me . you have n't just given me a promotion today or the office across the hall . you 've put your faith in me . and by god , you 're not going to regret it . stephanie : oh , i love you , sweet boy . thorne : i know , mother . and i love you , too .	after stephanie admits that she still hates brooke , erica assures her that he will never leave her again . thorne becomes the new president of forrester creations .

steffy : that was n't so bad , was it ? hope : mnh - mnh . see , we can all get along ... liam : ( chuckles ) hope : even in confined spaces . liam : well , it 's a good thing it was a short trip . would n't want to push our luck with the cross - country flight . steffy : aspen ... it 's the most beautiful place in the world .

[ scene_break ] justin : not too late to call this off . bill : why would i do that ? justin : i thought you might have second thoughts , leave well enough alone and let fate play its own hand . bill : i did n't get this far by leaving things to fate , justin . and i am certainly not going to leave my only son 's future in its fickle hands . i want liam to have the best that life has to offer . and that does not include hope logan . justin : that is nice , but he has to figure it out for himself , otherwise it wo n't stick . bill : he will . i 'm just hurrying the process along a little bit . justin : ( chuckles ) i see . well , do n't be surprised if liam does n't thank you for it . bill : liam will never see my hand . all he will see is hope for what she really is . justin : trust me , hope comes with her own issues . what woman does n't ? but she has a lot of things to offset them -- great style , she 's beautiful , she has one hell of a pedigree . bill : well , guess you missed your calling . you -- you should have been a - a - a judge for miss congeniality contests . justin : ( chuckles ) right . bill : listen . justin : hmm ? bill : hope is a crack pot , and she 's gon na drag my son down with her . and i 'm not gon na stand by and let that happen .

[ sighs ] sally : you 're right . we share a bond , and nothing can break it . we 'll get through this . coco : i 'm not quite sure what you 're asking me to do . r.j. : you want to help us rectify this , right ? coco : yes . yes , definitely . what my sister did was wrong . r.j. : and i told my dad that . steffy , too . coco : and they did n't believe you . r.j. : i would n't say that . they 're coming around . i 've been preaching nonstop . coco : thank you . r.j. : i 'm just telling it like it is . i know you . you would n't do anything to hurt me or my family . coco : how can i help ? r.j. : um ... my dad and carter -- he 's one of our attorneys . coco : mm - hmm . r.j. : they talked to a cop . steffy was there , too . lieutenant baker -- that 's the cop -- he told us we might have a strong case against spectra . coco : that does n't surprise me . r.j. : but if we want a slam dunk , we need someone involved to confess , explain what happened , you know ? coco : okay , and then that 'd be me . r.j. : yeah . coco : all right , what -- what would i do ? r.j. : sign something -- court document . coco : court . okay . wow . so then your family would be , what , suing for damages ? r.j. : yeah . coco : well , i guess my sister 's dream to bring spectra back is down the drain . r.j. : are you okay with that ? coco : she 's profiting off stolen goods . r.j. : so you 'll do it ? coco : yeah . yeah , i 'll do it . i think it 's the right thing . and plus it might even help her with thomas . if there 's any chance between the two of them . r.j. : um , there 's more . there 's a lawsuit for larceny and industrial espionage . criminal charges . coco : criminal ? r.j. : sally could go to prison . coco : prison ? r.j. : yeah . coco : for how long ? r.j. : up to 15 years . coco : look , i , uh ... i would do anything for you , r.j. and i - i really want to make this right . but to go against my sister , to put my own sister behind bars ? is that what you want ? you want me to put my own sister in prison ?	as ridge and rj talk , ridge urges him to do the right thing . rj laments that if ridge thinks coco is innocent , then he would re - hire her . but he is asking her to tell the truth and put her sister in prison . he immediately calls coco and asks her to come meet him at fc . she says they will not even let her in the door but he says yes they are expecting her now . as she speaks with sally she says she trusted sally but she never will be accepted by the forrester 's again . she is a spectra , a knockoff artist pariah and that is all they ever will be . sally swears that she has learned her lesson and never will do that again . she will make it up to coco , she promises . nothing will tear them apart . shirley does not feel sorry for the forrester 's ; they can afford it . sally is afraid there might be a price to pay . both zende and nicole are surprised that they want coco to confess to her unwitting crime . steffy says sally deserves all that is coming .

( clears throat ) all of the , um , happiness and peace and contentment that you 've ever known as an adult has always been here in this house . and i know -- i know , honey . i know you have another family with brooke . but how that -- how does that compare with this one ? how can it , when she continues to choose her son over you time and time again ? that boy has wreaked havoc with all of our lives , and yet she still stands by him every single time . you 've lost one daughter because of them . y - you almost lost a second . and i 'm not saying that brooke is , you know , directly responsible , but i hold him responsible . and i know this is very hurtful and very difficult for you , but stop and think about it , honey . your whole life with her has been nothing but angst and upset and upheaval . i mean , look at taylor , the complete opposite of brooke . are n't you tired of all these ups and downs ? i know that brooke tells you that she loves you , and i think in her heart , she means it , but her world revolves around that boy . he is n't going anywhere , ridge . it 's as though he lives just to torment you . is that what you want ? ridge : ( sighs ) stephanie : i 'm not -- i 'm not saying anything bad against brooke . i know and i accept the fact that you have very deep and real feelings for her . it 's just i want you to have some peace and contentment in your life , honey . this is where you belong . you 're not going to have that peace and contentment until you 're willing to walk away from all of the angst with that girl , until you 're willing to make the hard decision to leave brooke once and for all .	steffy tells stephanie that she really needs to be at the beach house and pack up things herself . she 's through with rick and there is nothing he can do that will change that . she loved him , but he 's not the man she thought he was . rick bursts in and demands to see steffy , but stephanie stops him . she lectures him about breaking steffy 's heart . brooke chastises taylor for suggesting to her that she break up with ridge too . how desperate ! ridge says he hates that he had to resort to taping rick , but he 's not sorry . he just wishes brooke could open her eyes to see what rick did and why he had to be stopped . brooke says they were working this out until taylor got involved . but now she can quit the begging act . it is quite pathetic . ridge leaves with brooke and tells taylor they will talk more later . thomas pays a visit . stephanie brings steffy back to taylor 's . taylor and stephanie discuss the ridge / brooke marriage and how far apart they are on this one little subject of brooke 's son . rick ends up at brooke 's and she refuses ridge 's request to throw him out . ridge storms out saying he will not live under the same roof as little ricky . he goes back to taylor 's . steffy is told that rick was blackmailing them to keep thomas out of jail . one more strike against rick as steffy thought he did n't press charges because he loved her .
donna : bill , i ... what you 're asking of me , i ... i love eric . bill : donna , your mother is dead because of a woman he continues to trust , to care for , to welcome into his home . that 's the reason beth died . now you do n't want him to pay for that ? you want your mother 's death to be in vain ? no , you want stephanie to pay , but that ca n't happen unless you go after eric . donna , you have to do it . that 's the only way there 'll be justice . donna : i - i - i have to go . i have to talk to my husband . bill : wait . donna : what ? bill : give him this . donna : what is it ? bill : just give it to him . trust me . you 'll be glad that you did .

[ laughing ] maya , chill ! i 'm just messing with you . maya : [ sighs ] nicole : [ chuckles ] wyatt and i are n't ready for anything like that yet . we 're just having fun . partying , dancing , laughing . where 's the harm ? maya : and you 're sure you did n't say anything -- nicole : for the last time , i did not tell wyatt about your past . i wo n't tell anyone . although ... maya : although what ? nicole : i 'm starting to wonder , sis . maybe you should n't tell rick , either . pam : whoa ! this purse weighs a ton . i wonder what could be in here . charlie : yeah , that would be the million - dollar question , huh ? pam : with a million - dollar answer inside . rick : wyatt . i 'd like to have a word with you . wyatt : uh , what 's up ? rick : i reached out to you last night and left you several voicemails . you never got back . what 's the deal ? charlie : pammy , are you sure we should be doing this ? pam : i 'm sure that if i do n't , it 's a giant missed opportunity ! charlie : yeah , but to go through someone 's purse ? pam : [ gasps ] charlie . charlie : what ? pam : you 're in security , right ? charlie : so ? pam : so , when visitors enter this building , you go through their purse ! charlie : maya is not a visitor . she 's the ceo 's main squeeze ! pam : well , who 's to say that we knew it was her purse ? it was just lying here . it could have been anybody 's . it could have had a bomb in it ! charlie : [ scoffs ] pam : charlie , it is our duty to check this purse out for the safety and security of every employee in this building . charlie : okay , all right , okay , okay , okay . you got a point . kind of , sort of . but it 's still a stretch . pam : [ sighs ] okay , hot shot , you come up with something , then . but make it snappy . we do n't have all day . charlie : okay , okay , okay , okay . what if -- what if , uh , the purse got , you know , accidentally knocked over and , uh , everything spilled out ? pam : you mean like this ? [ items clatter ] charlie : yeah . sort of . pam : [ gasps ] wyatt : i was , uh , out of town . rick : on forrester business , i hope . otherwise ... wyatt : actually , it was forrester business . in a way . rick : that 's all you 're gon na tell me ? wyatt : well , there 's nothing to tell you yet . but i 'm not giving up . and if i can make this happen , trust me , you 'll be one of the first to know . rick : [ scoffs ] pam : whoa ! charlie : what is it , pam ? pam : estrogen . why would maya be taking estrogen ? charlie : there 's one reason and only one reason that she would be taking these pills . maya is ... transgender .	wyatt thinks back to his prying and asking nicole about this big secret that only she knows . she starts with maya is .but then changes her mind and says she should not have brought this up . pam bursts in and says she is sorry but she could n't help overhearing that something major is going on between rick and maya . nicole shows up and watches carter at one of his workouts . he says he is not the kind of guy that mixes business with pleasure . she admires his abs and says maya must have too . he asks about wyatt and she says she is not his girlfriend , just being appreciated and she will be the new jewelry model . ivy says maybe nicole is saying things to throw them off the track and maybe it is rick that has the secret and not maya . wyatt says nicole is definitely not playing a number on him . he definitely does not think she is keeping anything from him . yet she did say whatever it is would blow people 's minds . rick thanks maya for booking the steam room for the entire afternoon until she says it was not her . he says he will send out a memo that it is off limits to all except the ceo and his lady love . carter tells nicole that it sounds like wyatt went all out for her little trip with the jet , champagne and margaritas the night before . and he opened up to her about his family secret . he wants to know when they were talking secrets he hopes they did not talk about maya 's secret .
liam : what is that ? is that a wedding band ?

[ scene_break ] liam : quinn did this to us . that ... band , that wedding band , is her ultimate triumph . only we ca n't let her win , steffy . we ca n't let what quinn did change our lives forever , or she wins . i mean , you ca n't possibly want that , right ? even wyatt ca n't want that -- to win you this way ? make no mistake . he was manipulated . but we were robbed . we were stolen from . she took my future with you and handed it to her son . steffy : [ crying ] liam : tell me you understand that . then -- then why ? why get a permanent wedding band after i 've come home , after i 'm here ? steffy : i do n't know what to say to you , liam . i do n't . liam : i do n't -- say you got caught up in something , steffy . say -- say you settled . say that he 's not the one . say this hurts you as much as it hurts me . steffy : of course , it hurts ! of course , it hurts me ! of course , it does . i do n't want to hurt you . i do n't want to . liam : it 's not you . it 's what quinn did to us . it 's what she 's still doing to us . look , i love you . i never stopped loving you . i never will stop loving you . and i can see -- your eyes are screaming -- that you love me , too .

r.j. : i would n't be asking you this if it was n't so important . coco : your family has every right to be upset , but what you 're asking of me , to turn on my own sister ... r.j. : they just want you to be honest . coco : but if i am , sally goes to prison . r.j. : if she 's convicted , which might not even happen . coco : still . just the thought , the idea of sally in a jail cell ... r.j. : i put a lot in your head . just -- just think about it . coco : r.j. , i really want to do what i can , and i want to make things right , but -- but i do n't know if i can do this . ridge : sally spectra stole from us , and now she needs to be punished . brooke : i agree we should file a civil suit , but 15 years in prison , that is pretty extreme . ridge : thank you . that 's the worst case . the judge is gon na decide how long she 's gon na go away and how much they 're gon na pay us . brooke : so , lieutenant baker thinks there 's enough there to press charges ? ridge : if we have a sworn statement from the inside , yes . brooke : oh ... that 's why you have r.j . speaking with coco . ridge : yeah , to try to convince her to cooperate . wyatt : oh , your girlfriend here 's looking a little neglected . you have n't forgotten about her , have you ? bill : oh , never . one day she will be mine . wyatt : yeah , well , do n't forget about the other woman you 're engaged to . bill : oh , do n't worry . brooke 's got me all to herself , my full attention for the rest of her life . wyatt : mm . lucky girl . bill : she deserves a man that 's gon na give her 110 % , not jerk her around like that forrester bozo . wyatt : [ sighs ] bill : i still want to know what he did . wyatt : you 're -- you 're not gon na let this go , are you , dad ? bill : well , think about it , wyatt ! i mean , whatever happened had to be pretty significant for brooke to call off the wedding the day before . i mean , it 's got to be something bad . wyatt : something happened . bill : yeah , you bet something happened . i want to find out what the hell it is . r.j. : i understand i 'm putting you in an impossible situation . coco : i -- i wish i knew how to handle this . r.j. : i understand , okay ? but your sister committed a crime , and she 's in a lot of trouble . sally put you in this position , and there 's no excuse . coco : what would you do if you were me ? r.j. : it 'd be tough , but i 'd tell the truth . sign the statement . as hard as it is , you need to look out for yourself . for your future . for our future . i completely trust you , coco . but my family needs to know that you 're loyal , too . bill : you know , i might have to change my nickname from dollar bill to the great spencerini because i predicted that that boneheaded clod would trip over his own feet . wyatt : i know you 're literally salivating over this , but if brooke told you to leave it alone , it 's probably for a good reason , dad . bill : yeah , she does n't want me to knock him out . wyatt : there is that , and they share a kid together . maybe this is to protect r.j . bill : come on , wyatt . i mean , i 'm not gon na slap whatever it is all over the cover of my magazines and internet sites ! i know how to be discreet . wyatt : ha ! since when ? bill : since ... since right now , all right ? i 'm not gon na run with it . wyatt : okay . bill : for the moment . wyatt : there he is . bill : what ? listen , i would be crazy not to use something like this . i mean , whatever it is that ridge pulled could be very useful . brooke : i feel bad for coco . it 's obvious that her sister is using her and her position at forrester . ridge : are we really surprised by that ? brooke : nothing the spectras do surprises me . ridge : still wearing that thing , huh ? brooke : yeah . why would n't i be ? ridge : has r.j. seen it ? brooke : no . ridge : well , he 's gon na have to find out eventually that you 're engaged , so ... brooke : he has his own life now . i 'm sure he 'll understand . ridge : mm . spencer ? really ? brooke : yeah . it 's about love and respect . i deserve to be treated better , to be honored . ridge : you do . you 're right . i messed up . brooke : i am through playing these games , ridge , but you 're not . i need a man who will be loyal to me . ridge : and -- and that man is bill spencer ? brooke : yes . pressure on you 's the best thing for you , coco : no , i do n't blame you , r.j. : this is tearing you up , and i 'm sorry . coco : no , i do n't blame you , r.j. you 're just doing what your family asked . r.j. : as hard as it is , i think it 's the right call . it 's the best thing for you , coco . coco : yeah , for me , maybe . but not my sister , our relationship . i 'm basically signing her future away . like , if i agree , if i sign an affidavit saying that she planted cameras on me and spied on forrester , it will ruin sally 's life . spectra will go under and it will all be over . r.j. : we do n't know that . she might just owe damages , have to pay a fine . coco : with what money ? and that 's best - case scenario . it could be much , much worse . r.j. : i do n't want to put pressure on you either way . it 's your choice to do it or not . and i 'll support you no matter what , but ... if you do decide to do it , i 'll be sure you can come back here . coco : back at forrester ? r.j. : you can work here and we can be together . there 's nothing i want more than to be with you . wyatt : i hate to say it , dad , but whatever happened between ridge and brooke , could it be because of caroline ? bill : way ahead of you . already called your cousin in new york . she has n't talked to ridge in months . wyatt : you are deep in this . bill : yeah , i 'm determined to find out what the hell happened . wyatt : please tell me you did n't hire a private investigator . bill : not yet . wyatt : oh , come on , dad ! you got to rein it in ! do n't go to that dark place ! bill : i 'm not going to any dark place . this is about ridge 's dark track record . there 's got to be another woman . there has to be . wyatt : okay , so , could it be a work thing ? there 's always a lot of models . maybe one of them flirted with him , or something . bill : no , this is n't some casual flirtation . this hurt brooke to her core . wyatt : okay , so who else works at forrester besides steffy , brooke , pam ? maya is married . ivy , that 'd be weird . nicole is newly married . and that 's pretty much it . and then there 's mom , but i mean , that 's , you know ... bill : quinn . no . they hate each other . wyatt : yeah . brooke : i do n't want to talk about bill , not with you . ridge : we 're gon na have to talk about it . you 're engaged to the guy . brooke : [ scoffs ] so , katie really is working at forrester , huh ? ridge : yes , she is . brooke : well , how does that work ? is n't eric curious why quinn would hire her to work side by side with her on her beloved jewelry line ? ridge : spectra copied the collection , and ivy is in australia , so quinn needed some help . makes sense . brooke : look , do n't get me wrong . i 'm excited for katie . i think this is a wonderful opportunity for her and for the company . [ sighs ] i 'm just not sure how i feel about everything else . ridge : i appreciate you not saying anything to my father . brooke : tell me i made the right decision . ridge : you did . there 's no reason to hurt him . brooke : i want to believe what you and quinn said , that nothing further will happen between the two of you . ridge : definitely not . brooke : i hope you mean that . that 's the only reason why i 'm not saying anything . and as crazy as this sounds , i really think that quinn loves your father , that she 's good for him . ridge : she is , and she makes him happy . he 's happier than he 's ever been , and it 's because of quinn . and i was reckless and foolish , and it 's over . brooke : i believe you learned your lesson , that you wo n't go after your father 's wife . ridge : i wo n't . so , let me ask you something . if you believe me , why ca n't you forgive me ? just forget about bill and just give me one more chance . day . i want you to r.j. : you could have a real future at forrester . coco : working here has been the best experience of my life . and meeting you , it 's made it even better . r.j. : i want to see you every day . i want you to be here . and there 's no reason you should n't be . why should you be punished for your family 's crimes ? you 're innocent , coco . they took advantage of you . that 's not fair . coco : you 're right , it 's not . it 's not , and what grams and sally did was wrong . but what your family 's asking me to do ... r.j. , i do n't know if i 'd be able to live with myself . because sally 's not a terrible person . like , she -- she looked out for me my whole life . and then she makes one bad mistake , one horrible mistake ... r.j. : i know , i know . sally loves you . she 's your sister . but she lied to you , coco . she betrayed you . coco : and i do n't think that i 'll ever be able to forgive her for that . but the thought of her in jail ... look , it 's -- it 's just -- it 's too much . it 's too much pressure . and , like , because i want this and i want this job and i want you and i want my sister and i -- i want things to be back to the way they used to be , but if i testify against her , then it 's like -- r.j. : it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . bill : whatever happened between brooke and ridge went down in sydney . wyatt : okay , so , who are the single women there ? bill : ivy and katie ! wyatt : maybe it was katie . bill : oh , no ! come on ! wyatt : she was involved with ridge , you know , at some point . bill : they read poetry in the park , and he put a little red string on her finger . i hardly call that `` involved . `` and , besides that , brooke and katie are in a really good place now . katie would never do anything to jeopardize that . wyatt : then maybe it was , uh , you know , someone random , like a fan or something . bill : a fan ? wyatt : yeah . bill : they guys makes dresses . what do you mean , a fan ? wyatt : okay , so then maybe it was a waitress or another guest at the hotel . the point is , you 'll probably never know . so it 's probably best to just let it go . bill : it could have been someone at the hotel . wyatt : oh , you 're obsessed about this . all that matters is that brooke did n't marry ridge . and for some inexplicable reason , she agreed to marry you , and that is a good thing . you have a chance now , to get your life the way you want it . that 's what important , right ? bill : i heard the `` inexplicable reason , marrying me . `` i heard that whole thing . wyatt : i tried to roll over that . bill : and i get it . but i 've got to have an ace in the hole , wyatt . wyatt : for what , dad ? bill : leverage ! ridge has a dark secret , something they do n't want anyone to know . wyatt : exactly . that 's my point . so drop it . you 're only gon na jeopardize things with brooke if you pursue this . i 'm serious , dad ! like , take it for what it is , but ... i think you should leave it alone . ridge : think of all we 've been through , all the years we spent together . way before spencer was around . our love is a story a beautiful journey destinations unknown after all of these years , the laughs and the tears it 's still you and me here making destiny appear after all of these years , the laughs and the tears it 's still you and me here making destiny appear mmm mmm ridge : and i 'm guilty . guilty of having an ego . guilty of flirting with disaster . but i 'm not guilty of loving quinn . 'cause i do n't . i love you . only you . coco : it feels really good to be in your arms . just to know you do n't hate me . r.j. : i never could . coco : just -- i feel like an enemy walking in here . like , everyone 's nice , but i just -- i see them looking at me and just wondering what i 'm doing . r.j. : they do n't know you like i know you . coco : i ca n't change who i am or where i came from . i 'm a spectra . it 's a part of me , and it always will be . r.j. : coco , i -- i do n't want you to change . i like you just the way you are . coco : you may be the only person i have after this . 'cause grams wo n't talk to me . and sally ... r.j. : okay , do n't do anything you 're not comfortable with . i do n't know what 's gon na happen to sally , but whatever happens , we 're gon na go through it together . it 's the right thing to do . i know you know that . ridge : hey . give me one more chance . just one more . do n't marry spencer . bill : well , what do we have here ? oh , i know , the biggest screw - up on the planet . and the beat goes on . i mean , look at you . you 're begging my fiancée not to marry me ? well , beg all you want , fido . my engagement ring 's on her finger . ridge : the ugliest ring i 've ever seen , by the way . no offense . bill : none taken . i 've seen your dress designs . do you have any self - respect at all ? i mean , look at you . pleading ... what did you do ? i mean , what did you do ? brooke was gon na marry you one day and not the next . i find that very interesting . ridge : it 's not your concern , is it ? bill : i warned brooke . i told her you were gon na screw her over . hell , i told you the same thing . it must have been something huge , and i 'm gon na find out what it is . brooke : bill , stop . bill : he hurt you ! he did something , and i 'm going to expose him for it . so , how about you save us all the trouble and just tell me what you did right now ? ridge : i 'm not telling you anything . bill : look at you . at the pinnacle of your existence , on the verge of marrying your `` destiny `` ... instead , you 're begging and pleading on your knees for her to take you back . she must have been horrified . brooke : all right , that 's enough . now , i have a very important business phone call that i need to make right now . is it okay if i leave the two of you alone together ? actually , ridge , you better just go . bill : no , no , no . we 'll be fine . wo n't we , slick ? ridge : you got some nerve . bill : me ? ridge : what happened between brooke and me is none of your business . bill : none of my business ? she 's my fiancée . ridge : she 's your fiancée , but you 're not gon na be married to her . bill : listen , i 'm gon na find out what you did , all right ? i am going to dig and dig until i get to the bottom of it . ridge : you want to waste your time , go ahead . bill : make no mistake . i will find out , and i will expose your dirty secret .	rj tells coco that he would not be asking her this but it is so important . she would only be telling the truth . she can not fathom seeing sally in jail . he says he understands her position but sally put her in this position and she needs to look out for her own self .. her future .their future . she says this might be the best for her but not for her sister . it could be the end of any relationship with her . rj says it is her choice but sally could get off with just money damages . and coco could come back to fc and they could be together . her family took advantage of her and that is not fair . she says her sister took care of her all her life and now makes one lousy mistake and it will hurt her . this is too much pressure . she wants this job , she wants rj but she also wants her sister and she ca n't have it all . he convinces her that he likes her just the way she is and does not want her to change .

'cause that 's not what happened . all you did is give her ammunition to use over me . massimo : if i had been allowed to finish what i was trying to say , okay , none of this would have happened . because she would have left that building destroyed , okay ? she would have been so wrapped up in her own pain , she would n't have given you a second thought . stephanie : that 's why i did n't let you finish the conversation . i knew you were going to tell her that ridge and bridget had kissed .

hector : we 'll deal with it . amber : how ? by pretending everything is okay ? by just blocking out the sound of caitlin 's voice when she cries for her mother at night ? no . that may have worked for a long time , but things are different now . hector : nothing 's changed . amber : caitlin 's mother is living in l.a . hector : shh ! keep your voice down . amber : the two of them are living in the same town . do n't you think on some level caitlin feels that ?

amber : then at least she 'll have the truth . the pieces already are n't adding up for caitlin . she already feels with every nerve in her body that something 's wrong , something 's being held from her . hector : for her own good . amber : i 've lived with lies , hector . they 're never good . and if you do n't tell her the truth now , when the truth does come out , she will feel more betrayed than she already has been . and it will come out . secrets always do . hector : not this one . it ca n't . amber : do n't fool yourself , hector . and do n't fool your daughter . she is screaming for help . and you can give it to her . you can give her the mother that she 's been looking for in her dreams . you can give her the mother she 's been aching for her entire life . hector : but what about the custody agreement ? if caitlin contacts samantha , i could end up losing my daughter . amber : well , if you keep her from her mother , you 'll lose her for sure . hector : what if she rejects her again ? amber : then you and jimmy and caitlin , you 'll -- you 'll learn how to deal with it . but be there for her now , hector . just like you are for all those other people you help . just like you were for me when you pulled me out of the fire . pull caitlin out of this one . she 's needs you to save her . hector : will you stay here with them for me ?

let me tell you something , nick , nobody loves sex like brooke . and it was never better than when she was with me . why do you think we always gravitate back to each other , hmm ? she even said it in our wedding vows -- our chemistry is like a force of nature . body else satisfies her the way i can . nick : you son of a -- [ glass breaking ] [ crashing sounds ] brooke : oh , nick ! oh , my god ! get off of him ! stop it ! stop it ! felicia : i never thought i 'd be getting a lecture from you to be more selfish . stephanie : sweetheart , parents have an obligation to protect their children . you can not worry how your motives will be perceived by other people , or if they 're going to get their feelings hurt . felicia : is that advice , or your manifesto ? stephanie : you 've been given time . time just to be here , and time to be with your baby . i 'm not gon na let anybody take that away from you . felicia : hey , guys ? what are you doing back here ? bridget : you did this , did n't you , stephanie ? now i know why you did n't stop us . because you knew we could never leave the country . felicia : mother , what did you do ? dante : she 's contesting bridget 's guardianship . bridget : if we try to leave the country with dominick , we get arrested for kidnapping . dante : i 'm calling a lawyer . and next , i 'm booking the next flight to rome . stephanie : dante , you 're not going to do that . now , look , i 'm sorry that i had to use such extreme measures to get your attention , but now that i have it , we 're going to settle this and we 're going to settle it right now . bridget : felicia , you ca n't let her get away with this . you said that we could go . tell your mother that this is not what you want . stephen : brooke can forgive for a lot of things , but not this . taylor : she did . stephen : no . no , i saw how upset she was . taylor : stephen , you really ca n't underestimate brooke and ridge 's relationship . they 've been through a lot of ups and downs . i really do n't think ridge could do anything that would make brooke stop loving him . stephen : ridge violated my daughter last night . and you 're talking like they 're just going to kiss and make up . taylor : it 's happened before . look , i 'm not being flip or blase about this , but stranger things have happened between these two . stephen : excuse me , taylor , maybe you 're not being flip , but you certainly do n't sound like a woman who 's mourning her marriage . it 's starting to sound more to me like you 're trying to push the two of them back together again . taylor : no , no . you 're just looking at someone who 's through maneuvering their way through brooke and ridge 's emotional minefield . i 've been caught in the middle of it long enough . you know , and it really is n't right that nick is such a great guy and he 's about to be the next casualty . brooke : nick ! stop it ! you 're hurting him ! stop it ! nick : i 'm not letting him get away with this . you hear me , forrester ? i 'm not letting you come up here and run . ridge : i came up here because brooke asked me to . nick : save it for the jury , pal . ridge : oh , there is n't gon na be a jury , because there 's no reason to file charges . nick : you attacked her . you sexually assaulted her and you victimized her ! ridge : oh , who 's really acting like the victim , huh , nick ? nick : you 've gotten away with this your whole life , but it ends right here . today . you are never gon na touch this woman ever , ever again !	nick challenges ridge to be a man as ridge holds a loaded shotgun on him . ridge puts the gun back in its place as nick accuses ridge of raping brooke . nick is stunned when ridge reveals that brooke has forgiven him . ridge taunts nick that maybe brooke was so forgiving because of the attraction between them . nick hits ridge and violent fight erupts . brooke and taylor argue over what happened and taylor is convinced that brooke got what she wanted . they are interrupted by a phone call from sally letting brooke know that nick is on his way to big bear . brooke asks taylor to stay with the kids as she races to stop nick and ridge from killing each other . stephen arrives and tells taylor that he is furious with ridge and accuses taylor of trying to push ridge and brooke back together .

( laughs ) and you have the nerve to say it 's for my sake , when you really mean it 's for your sake . i 'm sorry , eric . i ca n't go with you and be friendly in public , because i am not your friend . i 'm your competitor , and i am a woman who 's declared her independence ...

[ scene_break ] liam : maya 's the one hiding something , not rick . bill : well , what is it , liam ? i mean , any piece of information , no matter how innocuous it may seem , could be useful . katie : yeah , but if it 's something personal about maya , how is that gon na be useful to us ? liam : yeah . i 'm really disappointed , 'cause i thought we were on to something . bill : we know they 're hiding something . nicole knows what it is . liam : yeah , well , she did n't give any details and wyatt did n't ask , 'cause the minute he found out it had nothing to do with rick , he dropped the subject altogether . katie : why ? bill : one setback and he chucks the whole plan ? ! liam : the plan was to get leverage on rick . this -- this is -- this is like gossip between two sisters being blown out of proportion . bill : the goal is to oust rick as c.e.o . look , i 'm not exactly surprised that maya 's hiding something . i had that gold digger pegged the first time i laid eyes on her , and that was reinforced when i saw the portrait hanging above the forrester fireplace . liam : oh , okay . say what you want , but maya 's a whole lot closer to getting rick than we are . bill : because she has n't given up . you think rick knows what it is ? liam : i do n't know . i do n't know what rick knows because i do n't know what she could possibly be hiding .

[ laughs ] what has gotten in to everyone ? ! rick : i do n't know what 's gotten in to them , but success has definitely had its effect on me . maya : wow ! does this mean the latest reports are in ? rick : even better than i predicted . maya : [ gasps ] rick , you keep this up , and your father might make this a permanent arrangement . rick : i was thinking the same thing . maya : [ exhales sharply ] rick : and i meant what i said to my parents earlier ... about us , about what you 've done for me . i mean , looking back ... my life was always filled with so much scandal and deception and tabloid headlines . i spent all my energy just trying to find my balance , just getting caught up in one storm after the next . but i finally found my stability . and i owe a lot of that to you . [ scene_break ] liam : we 're not giving up . it just seems a lot less likely that this the secret is gon na help . wyatt : oh , good . you 're all here . bill : liam was just filling us in about nicole . wyatt : oh , yeah . i definitely think we should stay on this . liam : why ? did she tell you something else ? wyatt : no , but i was just with maya and nicole , and i thought i 'd throw a rock into the pond to see what kind of ripples came up , you know ? and , man , did i get a reaction . katie : from whom ? wyatt : both of them . you should have seen the way the were looking at each other . liam : well , what did you say ? wyatt : well , i started talking about secrets , just in general , you know , and then maya and nicole got really uncomfortable -- maya especially . bill : well , nicole already told you maya 's hiding something . wyatt : yeah , but when i first read her , i did n't think anything of it -- you know , that it was just sister drama . but now ... i think it could be as big as they were saying . bill : something that could affect the company ? wyatt : there 's only one way to find out . katie : what if it 's just personal ? what if it has nothing to do with forrester ? wyatt : but what if it is n't ? liam : no , no , no . no , he 's right . we need to stay on this . we have to find out . [ scene_break ] charlie : as far as i 'm concerned , this case is almost solved . we know what maya 's secret is . pam : no , charlie . we do n't . charlie : all we got to do is get a look at that pill bottle , get the name of the doctor -- pam : no ! we will do no such thing . we are gon na act like we never saw those pills . do you understand me ? charlie , we could lose our jobs . if it ever got back to rick that you started a rumor like that , you would never work in security again . you know how vindictive he can be . charlie : it was your idea to look at the purse ! pam : well , that 's what i get for snooping , then ! i just ca n't help myself . i 'm like an addict . charlie : look , look , look -- nobody has to know it was us . we can send an anonymous note to wyatt . pam : no . no . no . charlie : i thought you wanted to help . pam : rick has made a lot of mistakes , and his attitude is awful . but he cares about maya . using something like this to hurt them -- charlie , it just is n't right . i wo n't do it . [ scene_break ] maya : you give me too much credit . rick : i 'm not . maya : you always knew you could do this . rick : with the right support . maya : from your father . rick : and you . maya , you coming back into my life has changed everything for me . maya : i feel the same way . rick : you know i do n't like talking about my past . maya : it 's painful . rick : but it 's also the reason i appreciate you so much . growing up the way i did , my mother 's scandals ... [ sighs ] the laughter and the whispers -- it was just all so humiliating for a boy , for her son . i mean , the shame of it all was just so terrible . it was a horrible feeling , and it made me angry . and it made me a control freak . i never had a sense of inner peace . i thought that maybe i could achieve that with amber or caroline , but ... i was wrong . in fact , the entire idea of trusting somebody in a relationship seemed nearly impossible until i met you ... because you taught me that there are still honest people out there in the world and that not every relationship is a risk . you embody everything that the forrester name stands for . i love you , maya . maya : i love you , too . rick : i know that you 're wondering about the future or where we 're going . and even though i 'm still technically married to caroline ... i still see a future with us , sharing my life with you -- the business and having kids -- heck , having a lot of kids ! you 'd be a wonderful mother . maya : [ chuckles softly ] rick : what ? what is it ? that 's what you want , is n't it ? maya : it is . rick : then what 's wrong ? maya : [ crying ] boy , when you say these things ... it overwhelms me . rick : that 's good , right ? maya : yeah . [ chuckles ] rick : you 're still happy ? maya : oh , i am happy , rick . i am happier than i ever imagined i could be . and i want to share everything with you , too . i do . but before we do that , i have to tell you something . i 've never felt love like this before , and it amazes me , and i have so much faith in it , in us , and what we mean to each other , and i just do n't want that to ever change . [ crying continues ] rick : hey ... it wo n't . and , maya , just know that whatever it is ... you can always tell me anything .	pam is aghast but charlie keeps repeating if those are maya 's pill then she is a transgender . pam thinks that is ridiculous just because charlie saw something similar on tv . there are other reasons a woman could be taking estrogen pills . maya tells nicole that she is not ashamed of who she is and if and when rick proposes she will tell him her secret . nicole is not so sure now that is a good idea . rick tells wyatt that it is like he does not know maya at all . the jewelry wyatt is proposing has too small gems and they need to be bigger , so start over . bill and liam discuss wyatt taking nicole on the plane and they needed to be alone but it did not work the way he expected . wyatt finds nicole and emphasizes again they had a good time last night . maya says she has heard and she wonders if that is all they were doing and what his intentions are . charlie and pam are still arguing over the pills when rick comes in and asks why they are in his office and arguing . they are busted but talk their way out of it and consider themselves lucky to get out of there . bill tells liam they need information so if nicole told wyatt anything about rick they need to know . liam says it is more like something with maya , not rick .
quinn : i do n't want to run anymore , liam . go ahead . call the police , but just -- just -- just -- just hear me out first . liam : do you think that 's what i want ? an apology ? you ruined my life , quinn . steffy 's married to wyatt . are you happy ?

[ clears throat ] aah ! ow . bill : well , that 's a , uh , nice piece of art , wyatt . wyatt : yeah . steffy 's got one just like it . bill : mm - hmm . and you 're telling me that so i do n't worry ? wyatt : oh , there 's nothing to worry about , dad . bill : your brother is n't giving up , wyatt . he 's determined to get steffy back . wyatt : [ sighs ] bill : you say there 's nothing to worry about . are you sure about that ? [ scene_break ] steffy : the tattoo artist had an opening , so we took it . ridge : you took it and you -- you did that . and then you went to see liam ? steffy : no , no . he -- he called before i left the house . he said that he wanted to see me , so i told him that i would stop by . it was really beautiful . there was dinner and there was candles and it was just -- ridge : okay . but he did n't know about the tattoo . steffy : no . no , he saw it , and i tried to explain it to him , but -- ridge : but he did know that you 're married to wyatt . steffy : i do n't know . i - i -- [ sighs ] he thought that he could change my mind . what am i supposed to do ? i 'm married to wyatt . i made a commitment to him . ridge : yes , and you love him . but you love liam , too , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] quinn : this is a bad time . liam : oh , no . you 're not leaving . quinn : what i did to you was wrong . keeping you to myself , keeping you away from steffy -- i should have known that it was never gon na work . you -- you never stopped loving her , even when you could n't remember her . liam : that does n't really matter now . quinn : what do you mean ? liam : you see this ? you see that ? what about that ? you see that ? you see this right here ? you see that ? i planned this for her ! and do you want to know what steffy was doing while i was putting all this together , lighting the candles , setting the table , chilling the champagne ? you want to know what she was doing , quinn ? she was out getting a permanent wedding - band tattoo with your son . so , no , it does n't really matter if i love her , 'cause she 's not coming back to me . it does n't matter . after all -- look , this is -- this is what she did to show her commitment is permanent ! [ scene_break ] wyatt : you do n't have to warn me about liam , dad . i 'm not naive . i know steffy still cares about him , and i do , too . but steffy is my wife . for good . [ scene_break ] steffy : maybe liam 's right . if quinn had n't kidnapped him , wyatt and i -- we probably would n't have been together . ridge : yeah , i - i think liam probably has a point , but he also does n't remember how things were between the two of you when he disappeared . steffy : i know he loved me and i know he never stopped . ridge : all right . and maybe you guys could have worked things out . maybe not . who knows ? steffy : now i 'll never know . and it 's because of quinn . she wanted wyatt and me to be together , and it worked . and , look , there 's a part of me that wants to go back to my husband . but there 's this other part of me that just wants to run back to liam , say i 'm sorry , and just pick up where we left off . and i would never tell that to wyatt , but it 's just how i feel . ridge : i understand that . steffy : i just ca n't be thinking like this . i ca n't be thinking like -- i 'm married . i 'm married , and i 'm thinking about my ex . like , i should n't be -- ridge : hey , hey , hey , hey . do n't be so hard on yourself . it 's a new thing . you got to adjust to it . steffy : i think i 'm making it worse . every time i see liam , i just want to help him . maybe if i say the right thing , maybe i can make things easier for him . ridge : there 's no right thing to say . it 's never gon na be easy . he 's going through a lot . it 's a lot . steffy : yeah ? what if it 's too much ? with me , with quinn , with wyatt -- what if he ca n't handle it ? ridge : what does that mean ? did he do something , say something , or ... ? steffy : no , no , no . it 's just i 've never seen him like that before . ridge : seen him like what ? steffy : there 's was just som -- dad , there was just something in his eyes when i showed him this . when i showed him this tattoo , it was like something broke down inside of him . he was hurt and he was angry and ... i 'm just scared he 's gon na do something crazy . [ scene_break ] liam : steffy knew i wanted to see her . all she had to do was hear me out . but instead , no , she went and made it permanent and then came here to explain it to me , you know , to make me -- make me understand . but i do understand . i know exactly how all this happened . you did this to me . quinn : i 'm so sorry . it was never my intention to hurt you . i - i was -- i was only trying to help . liam : oh , i know . and you 're gon na pay for it . quinn : i already am . the way you 're looking at me , hearing the hate in your voice -- liam : this was your plan , quinn ! to keep me away so wyatt could seduce steffy , kind of like how you seduced me . this is exactly what you wanted , is n't it ? is n't this exactly what you wanted ? ! quinn : i thought i could live with it . i did . i - i thought that -- that maybe , if wyatt was happy and settled , that -- that it would all be worth it . but -- but i 'm not that woman anymore . i 'm different . our time together changed me . liam : oh , ridiculous ! quinn : it -- it was real ! liam : ridi -- quinn : liam . it was n't an act . we were in love . [ voice breaking ] i miss you . i miss you , and ... it kills me to see you hurting this way . i - i came here -- i came here to make things right . but what if we just ran away together , you know ? you and me , tonight , and we got away from all of this unhappiness . i 've never felt this way about anybody . i care about you . oh , god . i care about you so much . and steffy 's gone . and it 's all my fault , but -- but i can make it up to you . i can . i will give my life for you . i will do anything that -- that you say . i need your goodness in my life . i - i need you to -- to look at me the way you did when -- when it was just the two of us , so , please , please , liam . please give me another chance . i wo n't screw it up this time , i promise you . please . we could be happy together . i know it . [ scene_break ] bill : a tattoo is n't a commitment , wyatt . wyatt : of course it is . it 's my commitment to never taking it off . bill : no . it 's a symbol . it 's a very nice symbol . but it is n't going to keep your wife happy , and it is n't going to solve every problem you ever have . that 's up to you , doing the work , a lot of work , every day . that 's a commitment . wyatt : wait , is my old man giving me advice right now ? bill : well , who else is gon na do it ? i mean , even if , uh , your mother did n't book out of here , what does she know about relationships ? i mean , every one she 's had is in , uh -- in cuckoo land . wyatt : oh , do n't even remind me . i may never get over all of the things she said about liam that day i walked in on them . or what i saw . seriously ? i got to clean that up now . bill : can you imagine what he went through ? wyatt : you have no idea where she is right now , really ? bill : not yet . but i will not stop until i find her . wyatt : i honestly thought she was doing better , you know ? she had this new guy in her life . she had a new attitude , new clothes . it was great . she even seemed happy . bill : she has her own special brand of crazy , wyatt . you ca n't blame yourself . wyatt : yeah , but it 's hard not to , the way everything turned out . bill : all right . listen to me . i will worry about liam and your mother . you just focus on steffy . wyatt : yeah . bill : where is she ? [ scene_break ] steffy : [ sighs ] liam was completely torn up when he saw the tattoo . ridge : you did n't think he was gon na be upset by it ? steffy : yeah . upset , yes . it 's just the way he reacted -- it was just like -- there was something in his eyes . i could just see the pain . i want to help him . ridge : i know you do . and i 'm sorry . come here . steffy : but there 's nothing i can say , dad . there 's nothing i can ... ridge : no , there 's not . there 's nothing you can say . 'cause liam has got to go through this in his own time . it 's gon na take whatever time it 's gon na take . and even if you could help , you ca n't because you made a commitment to someone else . you married wyatt because you love the man . and you meant your vows , right ? okay . now , if you get overwhelmed or something just gets too much , i do n't know , think about the promise you made . steffy : yeah . yeah . i get what you 're saying . and i do respect my marriage . i respect wyatt and my vows , but [ sighs ] i just keep thinking that none of this would have happened if it had n't been for quinn .

r.j. : she is . sally : what ? coco , if you ca n't talk to me , then who can you talk to ? coco : somebody who does n't lie to me or trick me or make a joke of me . sally : nobody 's laughing at you . coco : you were all sitting here watching what was happening , like , `` look at coco scamming for us without even knowing ! `` sally : okay , all right . you 're angry . coco : look , i love you , but i do n't want to be the same as you . sally : i do n't want to be the same as me , either , coco , but i keep waking up in the morning , and there i am . coco : look , i 'm not saying that i 'm better than you ! i 'm selfish , too . sally : there is nothing selfish about wanting your internship back in your chosen career . and there is nothing selfish about ... look , it 's obvious that you and r.j. have something worth wanting back . coco : there was . sally : you said he does n't blame you , so why would n't the forresters want you back ? coco : they will . if i do what they want . sally : well , that 's kind of the definition of a job , is n't it ? so why would n't you say yes ? coco : i did . but i guess it 's a lot harder for me to turn against you than it was for you to turn against me . nicole : he did . but apparently he talked with some other attorneys and changed his tune . maya : i thought that if spectra took our designs and changed them a little , they could get away with it . zende : right , but if we have actual witness testimony that the theft happened , it could change things . nicole : i just think it 's a hard spot for coco to be in . rick : wait , wait , wait . what about the spot that forrester 's in ? all the -- all the months of work down the drain . it 's all wasted . nicole : i know . i 'm just saying i think it 's a horrible position for coco to be in . zende : babe , there 's right and wrong , but then there 's also breaking the law . nicole : look , i like coco . i think she 's a great person . honestly , i think her grandmother did it all . do we want to send her grandmom to jail ? zende : it 's coco 's sister . it 's her company . rick : she liked to brag about it all over the internet . nicole : i 'm just saying that if somebody , the police , wanted me to say incriminating things about maya , there 's no way i could do it , no matter what the law said , right or wrong . lt . baker : so where can i find the younger miss spectra ? thomas : lieutenant baker , could we have a minute , please ? steffy : no , thomas . we 're proceeding . granddad wants this . dad and i both want this . and carter already laid the groundwork . thomas : steff , this should be a family decision . steffy : just because you 're not on board does n't mean it 's not . thomas : r.j. ? r.j. : i 'm sorry . what sally did to coco was n't right . i ca n't defend that . she was here a while ago . she just wanted to see sally personally , tell her she was giving a signed statement . lt . baker : i 'm not sure of the wisdom of that . carter : neither am i . r.j. : she said she 'll be back , so she 'll be here . coco : i have to go . sally : go where ? coco : look , i - i had this idea that it would be better if i talked to you first , but it 's -- it 's not gon na do any good . sally : you said `` turn against `` you . i get that you 're unhappy and that you probably hate my guts , but , coco , when in life have i ever turned against you ? coco : you told me what you wanted to do , and i said no . sally : okay , so sometimes i ca n't take no for an answer . that should not come as a shock to you . but `` turn against `` you ? never . you 're my sister . i was more your mom and dad than mom and dad ever were . coco : you could go to jail . sally : what ? coco : you stole all their designs . all their hard work for nothing ! sally : i know it was wrong ! coco : i could have had a future there , sally ! i could have had a future or something with ... sally : r.j . i know , and i want those things for you , coco . coco : if i say that you put cameras on me ... sally : then say it . say it . they know it 's true . coco : to the police . and in a court of law . sally : they want to arrest me ? but we doctored the designs . there 's no way that they can ... prove ... coco : all they 're asking me to do is tell the truth . and that 's what i 've been trying to do my entire life , sally . and it 's what you taught me . is n't it ? sally : [ sighs ] do we know any lawyers ? no , never mind . of course we do n't . the only people we know here are each other . coco : they 're saying the charges would be larceny and industrial spying . sally : industrial espionage ? coco : they think the judge could sentence you to 15 years . plus damages . sally : so all of this would be gone . and so will i . [ train horn honks ] sally : i 'm just trying to imagine your life in 15 years . coco : [ voice breaking ] sally , do n't . sally : you 'll probably be a mom . best soccer mom there ever was . either that or you 'll rebel , and i am still waiting for that . come out with a [ scoffs ] ring in your nose and dye your hair blue . coco : we could have made spectra work ! we were gon na be the spectras that did n't leech or con anybody . what happened to that ? you were gon na be a designer , sally , and this was gon na be a design house ! and instead , it 's a crime scene ! i would have done anything for you . sally : clearly not anything , 'cause you said no . coco : do you realize how hard that was for me ? i love you . sally : [ sighs ] coco : and i had thought we were on the same side . but if we 're not , then i 'm ... i guess i 'm just gon na have to love myself a little more . because i do n't want the life that our parents and grandparents had . i do n't want to be ashamed to say how i pay for rent , and i do n't want to be so afraid of being caught that i move from place to place . and this might seem like very childish to you , but really , this is all that i have . sally : [ sighs ] do you remember when that bird flew into the picture window at grams ' ? must have been a very nearsighted bird , because that window was so dirty . but you made me help you bury it . do you remember that ? coco : not really . sally : 'cause this feels like that . coco : telling the truth is never wrong , sally . sally : i would n't say never . coco : you know , the forresters , they have every right to ask . so i 'm gon na do it . sally : no , honey . i 'll take care of it . zende : you mad ? nicole : no . are you ? zende : no . look , i love that you 're loyal to your friends . i just hope she deserves it . nicole : well , we 're going to disagree about a lot of things before we die . zende : i 'm gon na die . thank you . nicole : [ chuckles ] zende : cheerful way to put it . nicole : well , i promise not to hold it against you that every time we do disagree , you 'll be wrong . zende : [ chuckles ] lt . baker : i 'm afraid i need to get back to the precinct . steffy : i hope you can talk to coco before she changes her mind . thomas : maybe she already has . she obviously has n't texted r.j . pam : i do n't know how these two got through security . thomas : who ? pam : apparently they can talk their way through anything . r.j. : hey . i knew you 'd be back . sally : one of you must be the police ? lt . baker : that 's right . and you must be sally spectra . sally : good guess . lt . baker : i 'd like a word with your sister , if i may . sally : uh , actually , that wo n't be necessary . lt . baker : no , i think it is . sally : no , i admit everything . thomas : sally ! lt . baker : i do n't know if you understand the seriousness of what you 're saying . sally : you mean my crimes ? grand larceny , industrial espionage ? yes , i know . i did them . steffy : do n't -- do n't let her do this . do n't let her give a confession that will be thrown out in court . sally : you want to mirandize me ? i could probably do it myself . i 've watched my parents go through it enough times . lt . baker : you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford one , one will be provided for you . you understand these rights as i 've explained them to you ?	thomas works on his designs but thinks about sally . at that moment she calls . he answers but tells her to stop calling . he is focusing on designing . she says she knows she was wrong and lost faith in her work . but she will make it up to him . rj tells coco that he knows it is asking a lot of her but maybe it wo n't require her sister to go to jail . coco says whatever happens sally needs to know and she needs to hear it from her . thomas tells steffy that sally called . steffy says with her little sister 's testimony they may make the charges stick against spectra . rj walks in and says he talked to coco and she will testify . coco speaks with sally and says she went to fc . she only saw rj and he is honest and even offered her a job back there . zende wants to hold lizzie and says practice can not come soon enough . nicole tells maya and rick that coco can testify but she does n't know how anyone could do that against her own sister . it is a horrible position she is in despite the forrester 's lost everything and must start over . steffy rags on sally but thomas says they are just living on peanuts so do n't be so bitter . steffy says they are cockroaches and they probably live on a peanut .

[ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] [ cell phone beeps ] ( hope 's flashback ) hope : i 'm not gon na draw it out . i 'm going to actually make a decision . because the truth is , liam ... i love you both . ( present time ) [ cell phone chimes ] [ cell phone beeps ] hope : [ sighs ]	hope stops by early at liam 's . he wanted to call her last night but restrained himself . now he 'd like to know how wyatt took the news that she was dating both of them . he is sure that he did n't just roll over and accept this well . he knows that is what she needs . she just hopes wyatt knows that too . and wyatt knows there are ground rules and liam is sure that did n't sit well with him with no sex . he kisses her and says she needs this time so she can figure out which one she can marry and start a family with . he quips maybe he will even buy his own rv , twice as big as wyatt 's . she says this is not a competition ; just trying to figure out what she is going to do with her life . she tells liam that she really cares for him , but she also cares for wyatt too . she thinks he 's hurting a lot more than he let on last night . wyatt 's looking at pix of hope when his mother walks in and senses something is wrong and asks if it is hope . in frustration he tells his mom that he was too complacent . he was too sure of himself to think that liam would get inside her head . but that is exactly what he did with this whole pregnancy scare . and quinn adds and now issuing ultimatums like the spoiled little brat that he is . wyatt says she was right , they have a lot of history , proposals , engagements , almost weddings all which ended in hope having her heart broken . quinn knows he would never cause her that kind of pain . finally she says he is beginning to think that hope does n't deserve him . he asks her to never say that again . he admits that hope said she loved both he and liam . quinn ca n't believe this is the way she is going to decide which brother she wants . wyatt says well it 's true . she has to decide which of them she wants to have a kid with she has to decide on her own . if only her pregnancy test had come back positive , then the fate would be sealed . quinn is concerned where this leaves wyatt now or even their business if liam should guilt hope into coming back to him . wyatt barks at her only one crisis at a time . she 's glad he is admitting it finally that it is a crisis . he admits it is not the best case scenario . she says it is all bill 's fault . he spoiled that wimpy little wuss rotten . wyatt says at least he is not taking sides . quinn says as far as he knows . he might be giving his # 1 son all his fatherly advice . wyatt says he is not a kid anymore , he does n't need for bill to come rescue him any more than he needs quinn to . he says yes his relationship with hope has taken a hit but he still thinks he is the best person for her . she says of course he is . he is a true spencer , strong willed and a fighter . she promises him that he will have the life he deserves .
rick : there 's nothing that you can tell me that 's gon na change the way i feel , nothing that 's happened in your past or a failed relationship . hell , we 've all had those . maya : it 's not that , rick . rick : well , it must be something like that , i bet . i do n't care . maya : i want to believe you . i want this to work more than i have wanted anything . rick : it will . maya , a year from now , we 'll be married and have a baby , maybe even one on the way . there 's nothing you can say that 's gon na interfere with that . maya : i hope not , rick . but i have to tell you this . nicole : maya . good . i 've been looking for you . maya : not now , nicole . nicole : yes , now . [ scene_break ] bill : so , maya has a secret . we do n't know what it is , but it 's potent . katie : well , we do n't know that for sure . i think we should be prepared for that . it could just be gossip between sisters . wyatt : but how could that affect the company ? both liam and i heard her say that whatever it is , it could bring some serious problems to forrester . bill : it 's significant , and we have to uncover it . liam : yeah , and get rick out of that ceo chair . wyatt : the way he 's been running the company , treating us like morons . you should have seen the guy acting like he knew more about jewelry than -- than a guy who 's been buying it and selling it all his life . liam : yeah , he 's been doing that with everyone , by the way -- ridge , caroline , ivy . i mean , you name a forrester employee , he 's alienated them . wyatt : yeah , look , katie , you 're conflicted because he 's your nephew , but morale sucks at forrester right now . bill : that 's why rick has to go . and we have to do whatever it takes to show him the door .

[ scene_break ] rick : it needs to be brought up . ridge : you want it shorter ? rick : that 's generally what bringing it up means . ridge : it 's not a cocktail dress . rick : well , maybe it should be . change the fabric , raise the waistline . ridge : raise the waistline ? wow . rick : it 's starting to look like everything else . ridge : it 's elegant . rick : maybe to your standards . ridge : [ sighs ] how do you feel , heidi ? rick : she 's a model , not a designer , ridge . ridge : that 's all we need . thanks . rick : i will decide when we 're finished with the model . you 're excused , heidi . thank you . heidi : you 're welcome , mr. forrester . [ door closes ] ridge : do n't ever do that again . rick : do what ? ridge : belittle me in front of a model or anyone else . rick : i was n't belittling you . i was simply pointing out the chain of command , which you seem to be forgetting more and more . now , i 'm sorry if i bruised your fragile artistic ego . you will have to get over that . ridge : get over what ? the fact that you have no talent with this whatsoever ? rick : that . that right there -- that anger because i 'm in this position . but there 's a reason for that , ridge . ridge : and what 's the reason , ricky ? rick : the reason is no one has seen numbers like this since ... when ? do you even remember ? now , i may not have design talents , but i do have one thing that you do n't . i have the ability to see the big picture , and the overall health of the company depends on that . it depends on me . it does not depend on you , ridge . ridge : oh , good . so you do n't need me . rick : no , i did n't say that . you are a valued member of this team . ridge : a valued member who understands the mission of this company . we 're not here to count money . we 're creating beauty , sophistication , femininity -- that 's what we do . rick : all the things that maya embodies . you do n't have to tell me . she 's the face of forrester . you know what you need to do , ridge ? you need to be thinking about maya . think about maya while you 're drawing and , uh ... i think you 'll be just fine .

[ scene_break ] rick : preston . thank you for agreeing to meet me here . i 've arranged for complete privacy . preston : it 's my pleasure . shall we ? rick : show me what you 've got . well , well . my , oh , my . beautiful . preston : and i personally picked these according to your specifications . clear and colorless , elegant , flawless . rick : just like she is . preston : and it guess it 's time . rick : indeed it is . it 's time to start planning a ... most romantic proposal . [ scene_break ] maya : first you all but force me to tell rick and now you do a 180 . nicole : you are happy with rick . i do n't want anything to jeopardize that . maya : oh , what a sweet , caring little sister . but it sounds more like you 're interested in protecting your relationship with wyatt . nicole : maybe i am . a little . maya : [ scoffs ] nicole : but you 're my sister . you 're my top priority . and we do n't know how anyone will react when you disclose . maya : so what ? you want in on the action ? are we back to that ? nicole : [ sighs ] let 's just say that i 've come to appreciate los angeles , you , the forresters , and the spencers . maya : nicole ... rick just ... he just said the most beautiful things . he went on and on about the woman i am , the life he wants to have with me , and how he wants to have children . nicole : and like you said , you 're not lying to him . you are a woman . maya : yes , i am -- the same woman he fell in love with . nicole : exactly . so there 's no reason to tell him . maya : you know my plan , nicole . if and when rick proposes -- nicole : what if he freaks out ? he asks you to marry him and then , `` oh , yes . one little detail , rick . i 'm a transgender woman . `` it 's too risky , maya . do n't do it . [ scene_break ] preston : have we found the one ? rick : it sparkles just like her eyes , like her smile . yeah . yeah , this is the one . it 's flawless and pure , just like all the qualities of the woman that i love .

nicole : okay , now i think it 's a girl . maya : oh , no . i 'm still getting major boy vibes . rick : we could always go back and ask the doctor . maya : unh - unh ! oh , no . absolutely not . we can wait a little while longer . keep it a surprise . i 'm just so happy that everything went so well . everything 's on schedule , measuring perfectly . nicole : boy or girl , it 's gon na be adorable . rick : and healthy . nicole : and , you know , a bona fide genius . maya : of course . rick : it wo n't be long till we 're holding that baby in our arms . nicole : finally in the home stretch . maya : you 've been so patient throughout this , nicole , and so wonderful through the whole experience . i ca n't tell you how much we appreciate it ... rick : mm - hmm . maya : ... and how grateful we are to you . rick : especially everything you 've given up for us . nicole : it was a bit tougher than i bargained for . but , um ... zende and i have been getting closer lately , talking a lot more . i do n't want to get ahead of myself , but we might have a chance again after the baby is born , be able to pick up where we left off . maya : i hope so . you both still care for each other very much . nicole : the only issue is sasha . if zende and i are gon na have another chance together , she has to be out of the picture ... out of la and away from our family . [ scene_break ] [ camera shutter clicking ] [ dance music plays ] zende : yeah , just like that . beautiful !

[ scoffs ] that 's rich . julius : i was n't judging you . i was n't even looking for you . i was looking for my wife . we 're spending time with nicole and maya today . sasha : oh , yes . the avant daughters . your girls . you 're awfully proud of them all of a sudden , now that they 're living the big life . julius : that has absolutely nothing to do with that . sasha : just do n't forget -- your blood runs through my veins just as much as theirs . julius : i did n't come here to play with you . and you watch the way you speak to me , young lady . sasha : oh , or what ? 'cause whether or not you like it , i am an avant . and for whatever your reason you 're ashamed of me , and you ca n't seem to love me , i am your daughter .

[ scene_break ] julius : do n't say i have n't been there for you . sasha : you 've never spent any time with me . julius : no , i did better . i fed and clothed you . i 've supported you your entire life . sasha : not the way a father should . julius : listen , do you think i wanted two jobs ? no , i needed two jobs so that i could pay the rent for you and your mother , keep a roof over your head . sasha : no , you did that to keep us quiet ! to make sure i stayed your dirty little secret . shh . you barely even look at me . whenever i try to hug you , you just stand there , disgusted , waiting for me to give up . julius : i have never mistreated you . i have always cared about you . sasha : look , i want to thank you for the clothes and the food . that 's great . but i 'm grown now . okay ? i do n't need you to `` take care `` of me anymore . i just want you to love me . is that so impossible ? like the way you do nicole ? you should -- you should be proud of me . i 'm doing well . i 'm not some screwed - up kid . i 'm a model ! i 'm actually making something of myself . ca n't you just give me a chance ? ca n't you just let me in a little bit ? i am your child . come on . that has to mean something to you . julius : i have kept the affair between your mother and me a secret for over 20 years . my family is stronger than ever . and i am not gon na let you jeopardize that . sasha : do you have any idea how it feels to be your secret ? julius : listen , i 'm sure that it 's -- it 's a terrible feeling to see us as a family and you not be a part of it , but , sasha , you have to remember , you were n't invited . you followed us here . i told you it was n't a good idea , but you would n't listen . sasha : coming to la is the best decision i have ever made . and , oh , no , not because of you . you 're a lost cause , mr. avant . you will never change . you 'll never soften up . not even for your children . julius : do n't you talk to me about my children . sasha : oh , well , you have n't even accepted maya . so why on earth would i think you would accept me ? you ca n't . you 're not man enough . julius : excuse me ? sasha : not like zende . you do n't know how to love . he does . and he loves me . julius : did he tell you that ? sasha : i know how he feels . i can see the way he looks at me . and he just treats me like a queen . julius : sasha , you are a rebound . and you 're just gon na get yourself hurt . sasha : no , zende would never hurt me ! he is a good man , and i am never letting him go . [ scene_break ] zende : i wish it did n't bother me so much . nicole : well , it is getting pretty big . i think it 's kind of cute , though . like i 'm hiding a basketball . [ chuckles ] zende : it 's not your looks . you 're beautiful . no matter what . nicole : it 's what 's inside that freaks you out . zende : i ca n't change how i feel . maybe i 'm not strong enough to handle this or mature enough to be supportive . nicole : it 's not like you did n't try . zende : if it were any -- any other guy , i -- i could maybe handle it . but my uncle 's kid ... i 'm sorry . it 's just too much for me . nicole : no , i -- i get it . i wish it was n't an issue , but ... i wo n't be pregnant forever . the doctor says it should n't be much longer , that i 'll deliver soon . so consider this an official heads - up . nicole avant is making a comeback . the same woman that you fell desperately , head - over - heels in love with ... is on her way back . and she is going to be very , very hard to resist . [ scene_break ] vivienne : zende and nicole together again ? oh , i would be overjoyed . rick : we hope it works out , too . vivienne : yeah , i felt so bad for nicole . i mean , losing zende was hard on her . maya : well , after she delivers the baby , she 'll have her life back again . she 'll feel like herself again . maybe they can connect . vivienne : i just hope they just spend some time being kids again -- go on dates , you know , enjoy spending time together . maya : nicole seems to think that the only way she and zende will have a chance is if sasha leaves town . julius : i agree . sasha 's an interference . i think she should move away from los angeles for good . [ scene_break ] nicole : i hear the photo shoot went well . sasha : uh , yeah . i - i guess so . nicole : you look pretty , sasha . sasha : thanks . how , um ... how 's that going ? nicole : growing every day . sasha : it 's almost time . nicole : yep , pretty soon . actually , had a doctor 's appointment this morning . everything 's great . sasha : i 'm really glad to hear that . nicole : sasha , we need to talk . sasha : is n't that what we 're doing ? nicole : i 'm gon na be honest with you . i hate what 's happened to our friendship . we used to be so close ... like sisters . but ever since you moved here , all you 've done is taken advantage of me and my family . you 've had a great experience . you 've built a strong résumé for yourself as a model . therefore , i think you should make a life for yourself somewhere else . go back to the midwest . new york or paris -- anywhere but here . you overstayed your welcome , sasha . it 's time for you to leave . [ scene_break ] vivienne : i 'll never understand your animosity toward this girl . julius : sasha ? why should i feel sorry for her ? vivienne : she 's had a tough life . i mean , no father , no brothers or sisters . cut her some slack , julius . maya : we all know that what sasha did was wrong -- completely unacceptable -- but she 's young . she 's naive . you ca n't just toss her out like she 's trash . julius : i 'm just glad nicole is finally getting a chance to see who sasha really is . vivienne : well , nicole feels the only way she and zende stand a chance is if sasha 's out the picture . julius : she 's right . vivienne : yeah , but does that mean she 's gon na lose her job ? rick : no , vivienne , i 'll make sure that i put a good recommendation at international . julius : nicole is the only reason that sasha has the job . and how does she thank her ? she steals her boyfriend . rick : well , in all fairness , julius , zende and nicole , they were already broken up at that point . julius : that still does n't make it right . vivienne : yeah , but kicking sasha out of town ? does n't that seem a little harsh ? maya : nicole 's family . family always has to come first . so if this is what she needs to feel safe and secure , we got to support her . vivienne : of course , but ... i think nicole should be the one to tell her . rick : she 's talking to sasha today . zende : oh . sorry . am i interrupting something ? julius : oh , no , no , no , no . we 're just talking about how sasha wo n't be around much longer . [ scene_break ] sasha : this is about zende . you feel threatened by me , and now you want me to back off of him . nicole : i do want another chance with zende . and i think that that can happen after the baby but not with you hovering . sasha : `` hovering `` ? nicole : yes , hovering . and let 's be real -- you 've done it my whole life . and , i mean , it was cool when we were close , but we 're not anymore , so ... i think it 's best if you leave . sasha : i have no right to be a part of your life , your family ? no right ? nicole : i think that you should do what 's best . sasha : what 's best for who ? you ? but what about me ? you want me to give up everything i have ? nicole : you have caused so much damage already . just go . create a life for yourself somewhere else , make your own family someday , but leave mine alone . i want you gone -- away from zende , maya , my parents , and i definitely want you away from me . sasha : you know what ? no . no , you can not make me leave like this ! nicole : oh , yes , i can , sister . sasha : sister . sister ! how funny that you would use that word . nicole : what are you talking about ? sasha : ask your daddy . nicole : what does my dad have to do with this ? sasha : everything . nicole : why are we talking about my dad , sasha ? sasha : have n't you ever wondered why i 've just always kind of been around , as if i was already a part of the family ? nicole : what are you saying , sasha ? sasha : you 're my sister .	nicole says it is a little more than she bargained for , but she is glad she is in the home stretch . maya and rick say again how grateful they are . nicole says there might be a chance with zende again if sasha were to leave town like she should . she will speak with her today . sasha parades for the camera again for zende and says she could do this all day and for the man she loves . julius stops by and says for crying out loud if this is what she does all day . he tells her to be careful calling him dad as zende could still be within earshot . she wishes he was not so ashamed of her .and what he is going to do about it . he informs her that he has taken care of her and put a roof over her head and paid for everything her entire life . he has always cared about her . sasha says she is grateful for that but she is grown now and she does not need that . she just wants his love and for him to be proud of her like he is of nicole . she is not some screwed up kid but a model if he would just give her a chance . she is his child and that has to mean something . he says it is a terrible feeling not acknowledging her but she did not have to follow him here . he has kept her a secret for over 20 years and he is not going to hurt his family now . she says he does not know how to love but zende does . she sees the way he looks at her and treats her like a queen . julius says she is just a rebound and zende will drop her in time . she screams no that will never happen and she will never let him go .

brooke : no , i don't . if he even had an inkling that he had a child out there , i think that he would have done anything to be with her . ridge : i agree . i think he would have loved to have met his daughter . and she never got to meet him . it 's awful . hope : yeah . it is heartbreaking , but ... you know , she has us . brooke : and his memory will live on in his beautiful daughter . hope : yeah . i mean , the first time i met her , i felt an instant bond with her , and i did n't understand it at first . it actually kind of felt a little strange to me . i thought it was just because we were both mothers trying to move forward without our children , but it turns out it goes much deeper than that . we 're related . you 're obviously happy about that . hope : i am . flo 's kind , caring ... brooke : very much like her father . hope : that 's true . i mean , think of the sacrifice she made , giving her daughter up for adoption , having to make that choice . but , you know , it must put flo 's mind at ease knowing that steffy is gon na give phoebe everything she could have ever wanted for her . thomas : that 's true . any child would be blessed to have my sister as a mother . any child would be blessed to have you as a mother , too , hope . shauna : baby , are you okay ? flo : yeah . yeah , mom , i 'm fine , i just -- i just hit my head . shauna : are you sure ? you know what , maybe we should just take you to -- zoe : she said she 's okay . shauna : you attacked her . zoe : she fell . flo : you pushed me . zoe : because you would n't listen . shauna : who are you , and what do you want with my daughter ? flo : mom , please , don't ... shauna : no , i want to know what 's going on . i 'm trying to protect you . flo : you did n't have to pull a gun out on her . shauna : you were knocked out , and this woman is in your apartment . zoe : my father 's apartment . flo : not anymore . zoe : look , i 'm her friend , and that 's all you needto know . shauna : yeah , well , friends do n't act like this . zoe : i was trying to stop flo from doing something that could ruin her life and the lives of a lot more people . shauna : you said that this had to do with beth and phoebe . flo : zoe 's father is dr . buckingham , reese . shauna : the one responsible for the -- zoe : do n't you see what you 're doing here ? the more people you tell , the more dangerous it is . flo : zoe , your dad destroyed a woman 's life . he stole hope 's baby and the entire future that she was planning , and he dragged us into it ! you can tell me that it 's all gon na be okay all you want , but it 's not . it is not gon na be okay until i do the right thing , no matter what it costs . i need to do the right thing . i need to tell hope the truth . we call it the mother standard of care . thomas : seems impossible , really . phoebe 's birth mother 's a logan . ridge : or it shows you that this adoption was always supposed to happen . brooke : our families are more intertwined than ever . thomas : does steffy know ? ridge : mm . yeah . liam told her when he went to paris . and i think she 's okay with it . it 's just , um -- it 's a lot to process , you know ? she thought she knew her daughter 's story , but it turns out , she doesn't . a logan gave her phoebe . hope : and that is beautiful , but steffy is phoebe 's mother , and just because flo is a logan , that does n't change that . brooke : that explains a lot , though , the closeness that you have with phoebe and the way that you 've bonded with her . hope : well , i always knew there must be something , you know , some reason . the way i feel about her , it 's just -- it 's so intense . when i hold her , you know , looking at that perfect little face , my need to protect her , my love for her , i just ... see ? i ca n't even talk about her without getting like this . brooke : oh , honey . hope : i just -- i felt that way because it turns out we are connected , and i miss her . i miss kelly , too , but , with phoebe , you know , she 's ... almost the same age as beth and , um , you know , i 'm just glad that liam is there spending time with all of them . brooke : while you are spending time with us . under the same roof , right ? hope : yes . and , actually , speaking of spending time together ... i was thinking about flo . you know , she 's already been through so much in her life , and ... i was hoping maybe we could do something for her ? i was wondering if we could offer her a position at forrester creations . flo : i thought i was just doing reese a favor . zoe : yes . my dad did a horrible thing , and he 's -- shauna : were you in on it ? zoe : no ! i had no idea . i hate what he did . it makes me sick to think about hope , her pain ... flo : but you want to protect him . his greed and recklessness put us into this situation , zoe . and where is he ? what is he doing while we 're stuck with this horrible secret ? i know you ca n't stand it , either . zoe : nobody 's gon na care about our feelings , flo ! not the cops , and not the logans . what 's done is done . telling the truth now is n't going to fix anything . flo : yes , it will . hope will have her baby back . zoe : and steffy will lose hers . you 'll lose your new family , and we 'll all go to jail . is that what you want ? shauna : no . no . we are gon na find a way out of this , in a way where we can help everyone . honey , you ca n't go to hope and just blurt out the truth . you need to use your head . do n't rush into a decision that you ca n't undo . that 's how you got into this mess . you did n't think it through , and i 'm not gon na let it happen again . i do n't know zoe . i do n't know if she 's your friend . i do n't think she is . but she 's right , flo . you will lose everything . you can not tell hope that phoebe is her baby . brooke : you want to give flo a job ? hope : well , an opportunity , you know , to try something new , get to know all of us . ridge : does she know anything about fashion ? i mean , is she interested in what we do here ? hope : i -- i do n't know . i just feel like she 's already done so much for us , you know , it would be nice if we could do this for her . you know , her courage and generosity brought phoebe in your family , gave kelly a little sister , and ... you know , phoebe brought me peace for the first time in a -- in a very long time . and i 'm grateful to steffy for that , but i 'm also grateful to flo . she 's made a huge impact on all of us and our lives , and ... i do n't know , i just -- i would like to do this for her . i -- maybe we could find a place for her at forrester creations . ridge : yeah , you know , finding a job is not the problem . i 'm sure we can find something for her . but ... i 'm more concerned about you . i mean , it this what you want ? you 've been through a lot . you 're working through it , and i would hate for anything or anyone to jeopardize that . i mean , would it be okay to see her every day ? that -- that would n't be difficult for you ? hope : no . thank you , but no . you know , flo and i , we 're family . and i want to give back to her . flo : i do n't care what you guys say , i have to tell hope the truth . zoe : flo , come on . just listen to your mom . flo : no . shauna : it wo n't be forever . you ca n't just -- flo : i have to , mom ! i ca n't take it anymore ! i was just about to call hope when zoe pushed me . i already made up my mind . zoe : you 're making a mistake . [ cellphone rings ] flo : it 's hope . zoe : well , do n't answer . flo : hello ? hope : hi , flo ! it 's hope ! did i catch you at a bad time ? flo : no , i was , um ... i was actually just about to call you . hope : really ? that 's funny . what 's up ? oh ! wait , actually , before you tell me , you should know you 're on speaker , and i 'm here with my mom and her husband ridge and steffy 's brother thomas , which you actually still have to meet them . brooke : hi , flo ! [ laughter ] thomas : yeah , but do n't worry . we 've heard great things about you , flo . flo : hi . hope : we were actually just talking about you and the beautiful gift you 've given to all of us with phoebe , and how great it is that you 're a logan and you 're part of the family now , and ... we were wondering if you would like to come work at forrester creations . flo : what -- what ? hope : [ chuckles ] yeah . it 's a family business , and you 're a part of the family , so ... what do you say ? flo : me ? work at forrester creations ? hope : yes ! flo , are you there ? flo : yeah . yeah , i 'm -- i 'm here , i just , um ... i 'm just a little bit shocked . i was n't really expecting ... hope : please say yes . flo : look , it 's so , so kind of you to think of me for this , but i -- i do n't really know what i could do . hope : you know , i have my own line , and i 'm always looking for talented people to add to the team . we could work together . flo : work with you ? i -- hope , i do n't -- i do n't think i -- i do n't think i can . shauna : take it ! hope : look , i know this is coming out of nowhere , and you 've gotten a lot of surprises lately . flo : yeah , more than i could even imagine . hope : how about this ? why do n't you come into the office and we can talk about it , and , i promise , you know , i wo n't pressure you into anything . just -- i think you 'd be a really good fit here . plus , you know , working together means we 'll get to each other . just think about it ? flo : i 'll think about it , yeah . um , thank you . i 'll be in touch . zoe : hope offered you a job ? flo : yeah , she wants me to come into forrester and talk about it . & shauna : oh , honey . she wants to feel like you 're part of the family . flo : mom , i -- i ca n't possibly take it , though . it 's hard enough as it is . like , i ca n't go into forrester creations every day and work with her . being around her family ... shauna : yourfamily . flo : and steffy and steffy 's brother and all of them -- zoe : it 's just too much pressure . i agree with flo . it 's just a bad idea . you need to get away from all of this , go back to vegas . both of you . go home . forget any of this ever happened . shauna : oh , no , we 're not going anywhere . my daughter was just given this wonderful opportunity , and we have been embraced and welcomed by the logans . and they appreciate you so much , honey . they care about you . you ca n't just cut them off . do n't listen to her . and do n't let what her father did ruin this . i mean , you ca n't sacrifice everything just because he committed a crime . i know you 're conflicted , and that 's because you are a warm , wonderful , caring woman , honey . and i know you want to do what 's right and what 's right for hope . but that baby is living a wonderful life . you do n't want to throw her into chaos or yours . you want to help hope find peace ? be there for her . support her . help her find happiness again . you , too ! you deserve happiness , honey ! and what better way to put this terrible , awful , horrendous situation behind you than to start something new ? and you can work at forrester creations with your aunts and your cousins . i mean , this is a wonderful opportunity , and you finally get to live the life that you 've deserved all these years . you need to take it and say `` yes `` and go with the flow and embrace this , embrace the company , and embrace your new wonderful family , the logans .	shauna holds a gun pointed at zoe while flo is lying on the floor . she comes to and shauna tells her to get the phone out of the purse and call the police . flo tells her mother to put the gun down . zoe is not going to hurt her . shauna makes sure that flo is okay then wants to know who this is . zoe says her name and says she is a friend who was only trying to help flo not do something that would get her in trouble . and the more people that know the more trouble she will be in . flo says again that she has to tell the truth no matter what zoe says . ridge and brooke are discussing a matter when hope walks in on them and says she will come back later . brooke says it is okay and then asks if liam has arrived in paris yet . hope says no but will soon . brooke tells her she does not want her to be alone so she should move into the big house for now . hope says she will be fine in the cabin , no problem . thomas walks in and hears the substance of the discussion and says he thinks that would be a neat idea of her moving closer where douglas would be just down the hall and could see her every day . hope finally says yes . thomas wonders if steffy knows yet that flo is a logan . ridge says yes , liam is going to tell her when he gets to paris .

[ scene_break ] sally : oh , my darling -- i had no idea your condition was so serious . macy : i did n't want to worry you , mom . sally : worry me ? oh , macy , i 'm your mother . you never worried me a day in your life . now you can tell me anything . do n't you know that ? you can say anything to me . you should n't have had to go through this alone . macy : thorne was here . he was the one who told me , mom . he wanted -- he wanted a baby just as much as i did . sally : i know he did , my darling . but he loves you . and i know he is feeling nothing but relief now , just as i am . relief because you 're going to be all right . honey , that 's the only thing that matters . all the rest can be dealt with later . there are other ways for you and thorne to have a family . macy : it 's just taken us so long to find each other again . i just wanted to have thorne 's baby . [ scene_break ] darla : you wan na be a part of this baby 's life ? thorne : yes . darla : thorne -- that night that we spent together , you said it was a mistake . thorne : i thought it was . but maybe macy was right . maybe there is a reason for everything . darla : you told macy about this ? thorne : no . she was sleeping when i left the hospital . darla : the hospital ? thorne , what are you talking about ? is she all right ? thorne : darla , macy went in for exploratory surgery . they -- they found a malignancy . darla : oh , my god . thorne : she -- she had a full hysterectomy . darla : oh , honey . well , she 's gon na be all right ? thorne : physically , yes . but emotionally , darla , she 's devastated . you know how much she wanted to have children .

[ scene_break ] leslie : hi . hope and liam , this is dr. disanto , our vet here at the shelter . liam : it 's nice to meet you . hope : it 's nice to meet you . dr. disanto : nice to meet you , too . liam : do you mind if i ask you some questions ? dr. disanto : sure . liam : this is great . um , so , what kinds of things do you do here ? dr. disanto : we treat 300 to 600 animals , depending on what time of the year it is . liam : 300 to 600 . dr. disanto : we do vaccines and de - worming basics , but we also do all kinds of things . we have a lot of animals that get hit by cars , so we do a lot of x - rays , wound care . liam : oh , really ? dr. disanto : pain medication . liam : i think most people would not guess that you would go so far as to do x - rays and worry about car accidents and broken bones and things like that . dr. disanto : yes , absolutely . liam : i imagine you ca n't do that for every animal all the time . i mean , that 's got to get overwhelming at 300 to 600 . dr. disanto : surgery is not every animal , but x - rays -- we do on animals that need it . we have so many animals coming in with fractures on a daily basis . hope : when those animals come in , are they -- like , if they are hit by a car , is it because , like , an animal rescue has found this animal , or do the people say , `` oh , i just accidentally did this , and i 'm bringing in this animal `` ? dr. disanto : it 's usually that somebody found them injured on the street , or they call and have an officer bring them in and report an injured animal . hope : that 's sad to me . liam : i do n't think most people would know that happens that often . hope : i would just hope that people would take responsibility . liam : okay , i want to ask you about this spaying and neutering thing , because i - i imagine that there 's a lot of misconception about this out there . i do n't think people quite understand just how important it is . dr. disanto : in this part of los angeles and in other inner - city , like , metropolitan areas , there are a lot of stray dogs that still are not spayed and neutered , and a lot of people 's pets are n't spayed and neutered . so , they 're breeding . there 's more and more animals coming into the shelter . it causes more euthanasia , which is what we do n't want . liam : right . dr. disanto : um , and there 's also health issues that can be prevented with spaying and neutering , like mammary cancer when the animals get older . liam : really ? dr. disanto : male dogs could get prostate problems that could be prevented if they were neutered , rather than having to do it when they 're older . people need to be educated at home on just the basics of taking care of their animals . they get overwhelmed . um , there 's not enough support out there for people in different areas and demographics , and then they turn their animal in when , if we could have got a little bit of prevention , we could have kept an animal out of the shelter . woman : all right , come here , baby ! hope : oh ! liam : hello ! you 're so cute . hope : ohh . hey . liam : yeah ? hope : thank you so much for bringing me here . liam : of course . hope : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] bill : you know what ? i love you . i love you so much . i want you to always , always know that , and i will never stop fighting for you ... ever . ever , ever . [ scene_break ] brooke : i realize that there 's still bad blood between you and bill , and it 's not easy for you to trust him . katie : [ sighs ] brooke : but bill is going through a very difficult time right now . katie : well , i 'm sorry to hear that . brooke : he desperately wants to spend more time with will , so just give him one night . let will stay there one night . katie : no , bill has had him all afternoon . that was the deal . i am not letting him spend the night . brooke : katie , you 're not really being fair . katie : brooke , he 's a toddler . he needs structure and consistency . we are on a schedule . brooke : you 're keeping will away from his father . katie : that is not my intention . brooke : and you 're keeping bill away from this company . katie : [ sighs ] oh . okay . that 's not what happened . bill created this situation , not me . brooke : do you even enjoy what you 're doing here ? katie : why would you ask me that question ? brooke : because we all know there 's one c.e.o . for spencer publications , and that 's bill . i even went to talk to karen about it , but she seemed adamant to keep you in this position . so here i am . i 've come to speak with you as your sister . katie : brooke . brooke : katie . katie : do n't . brooke : please . you 're happy . i 'm happy . ridge is happy . we 're all happy with our jobs and what we 're doing , but the only person that 's miserable is bill . he sits at home all day alone doing nothing . i mean , he built this company to what it is today . katie : [ sighs ] listen , i know that bill lives for this company , and it must be very hard for him to sit at home all day long , but things have changed . we all have to make adjustments . brooke : [ sighs ] i think it 's time for you to make an adjustment . katie : really ? what would that be ? brooke : bill has done his penance , and he did hurt you , but he 's paid the price , and this is killing him . he wants to spend more time with his son . he wants to work . katie , i 'm just asking you to do what is fair . give bill equal custody to his son . give him back his rightful place in this business . you know in your heart it 's the right thing to do .	liam and hope walk into the animal shelter where they agree that shelters like these do so much good . hope says liam 's story will help spread the news . katie and ridge share several kisses . she says if he keeps this up she will get nothing done . but who needs food when she has these lips . and although she has plenty to do , nothing is more important than he is . he likes the sound of that . she glances at her clock and says she does not like will being gone even for a few hours but it is good that he is spending some time with bill . ridge reminds her that bill made his bed . she knows but she does n't want him to think she is punishing him . ridge says she is not punishing bill so she has no reason to feel bad . she should always feel good especially when she is with him . liam meets brandon and introduces hope . brandon says pam told him about liam 's article and he 's glad to be able to help . he shows them around the facility and talks about the under - funded and overcrowded kennels . many pets are put down each year because they ca n't find homes . it 's obviously a serious problem and one of the main reasons is because they are not spayed or neutered . liam says he has been an advocate since a small kid as his mother used to foster dogs for a rescue organization . hope tells brandon that liam has one of the biggest hearts that she knows . brandon shows them around and says this is brand new and houses 600 animals . brandon is on call and takes them to meet leslie , the kennel supervisor and asks if she will take them to the medical area . she shows them the surgery room and kennels where they stay after surgery . and they are rehabilitated . hope and liam meet dr. disanto , the vet who explains more why neutering and spaying is so important to prevent many medical problems later as they age . liam takes notes from all that he interviews . they meet some of the furry friends and hope thanks liam for bringing her here . at brooke 's bill is playing with will . he tells brooke that this just reminds him how quickly time flies by and how precious it is . he has to find some way to spend more time with will . brooke goes to her purse ad slips out the papers . she 's deep in thought and seems to have made a decision . bill continues to grouse that katie is not being fair . she has a company .his company to run yet he still gets scraps , two hours here , one there . will can not even spend the night . katie will send someone over after him in about an hour . he wants his son to get to know him and trust him and not just be an every other sunday dad . he wants him to light up when he sees bill and not punch a hole in the wall like he did with his own father . brooke tells him she has some place to go , she will see him later .
rick : baby , what is it ? are you okay ? maya : never better . rick : because you just - you just seem like you 're a little off . maya : well , i was just ... having a moment . it happens sometimes . it hits me suddenly how lucky i am to have found you and ... this life . i never want it to end . rick : why would you think that ? nicole : back at it again ? oh , well . i guess you do need to hit the weights more often , because those muscles are so embarrassing . carter : i forgot my bag . and are you always here now ? nicole : are n't you ? i mean , come on . forrester 's where it 's at . i swear there 's never a dull moment here . just when you think something 's going one way , it flips and now it 's something else . carter : i have no idea what you just said . nicole : oh , that 's probably why you 're single . you ca n't even read between the lines ? women like men who do , you know ? carter : oh , is that what wyatt does for you ? nicole : [ sighs ] anyway ... carter : [ chuckles ] nicole : maya was thinking about telling rick . carter : good . she should tell him . he has a right to know that ... that maya 's transgender . you agree with me , right ? nicole : i did at first . carter : and now ? nicole : no . there 's too much at stake . rick : i made light before about secrets . sure , it 's true . some are innocuous . but the ones that fall out of the sky and decimate lives -- well , i 've had enough of those . you find yourself trusting someone , and then they deceive you . well , i just -- i just ca n't go there anymore . maya : i know . rick : i need stability . and i finally found that with you , right down to being in control of forrester . maya : i ca n't take credit for that . rick : yes , you can . your support and belief in me gave me the confidence to get the job done . and now look at me . i 'm kicking ass and taking numbers . maya : taking no prisoners . [ both chuckle ] rick : you know what the best part is ? no matter how much it bugs ridge that i 'm winning ... he ca n't do anything to stop me . brooke : you 're angry , ridge . you 're angry at eric for giving rick irrevocable control of the company , at rick for not treating you with the respect that you 're used to , and at me for god knows why . ridge : [ laughs ] brooke : you ca n't make life - changing decisions based on emotion . ridge : you guys have n't been here . i have been here . and i 've watched rick -- the way he treats family , the way he treats employees , the way he treats everyone except for maya . he treats them like second - class citizens . and no , i 'm not being emotional . i 'm being apathetic . it just seems to me that the years are racing much faster than they used to . and i just do n't want to spend them here in this ridiculous situation . that 's all . eric : i support rick . he 's doing a fantastic job . but i certainly do n't want to lose you . you 're our lead designer . you 're the best in the business . you 're my son . this is a family enterprise . i do n't want you to walk out . ridge : you think i want to walk out , dad ? this defined me as an artist . it defined me as a person . forrester is my birthright . i thought it was . it was supposed to be until you gave it away to ricky . and he 's -- you just let him run the company this way . you just stand by stubbornly . you do nothing . and that 's okay . it 's your place , your prerogative . my prerogative is to say `` no . `` and that 's what i 'm doing . carter : it 's interesting . all of a sudden , you stand to lose if maya tells rick the truth about herself . let me guess what you 're starting to value . wyatt spencer . nicole : no . carter : moving kind of fast , are n't you ? nicole : look , i am not going to apologize for finding a hot , successful guy who 's interested in me . carter : well , be careful . wyatt could be rebounding . nicole : ghost of another woman ? bring it on . carter : you 're that sure of yourself ? nicole : i know what i bring to the party . carter : how did maya react when you told her not to tell rick ? nicole : i think she heard me . carter : hmm . so , let me make sure that i 'm clear . since the avant sisters have new shots at cushy lifestyles , rick , the guy who 's providing that , never gets to know the woman that he 's with was physically born male ? nicole : what good does it do ? rick knowing ? it 's not like at the stroke of midnight , maya 's gon na change back . they are happy together . and to hear it from rick himself , he 's the happiest he 's ever been . ca n't that be good enough ? carter : then maya 's not telling rick ? nicole : no . not gon na let her . carter : you think you can stop her ? nicole : i 'm gon na try . maya : why is it so hard to stay in the present ? rick : uh , hmm ... be - because we 're hard - wired not to ? maya : maybe . it 's easy to look back at the past , anticipate the future . sometimes i forget to just enjoy now . rick : well , i 'm certainly guilty of that . maya : i 've been struggling to stay more present . rick : struggling ? maya : yeah . nicole blew open the door to my past . we 're ... tiptoeing around the future . rick : mm - hmm . maya : sometimes , i - i just try to tell my brain to remember to shut off . like right now . there is nothing more important than being here with you . rick : you know , i wish sometimes we could just -- just freeze these moments and stuff them in a jar and revisit them whenever we want . maya : we 'll just have to keep replenishing our supply . rick : yeah , and something tells me that 's possible with you . maya : i love this . i love sharing my life with you . i ca n't wait to share even more . rick : wait . what ? there 's more ? maya : [ laughs ] yes . yes . one day , you will know everything there is to know about me . i just ... hope i do n't disappoint you . rick : you never could . brooke : [ scoffs ] did that really just happen ? eric : you did n't see this coming either , did you ? eric : unhappy ? that 's an understatement . damn it ! i had no idea he was this close to breaking . i should have done more to appease him , but i ... [ sighs ] god . if we lose these designs , if we lose ridge , it 'll be such a big blow to this company , it ... brooke : to you . eric : yeah , to me . we have n't always seen eye to eye , but we always come up with some kind of a solution . we do n't just bail on each other . brooke : eric , you know how ridge is when he 's upset . he holds his breath , and if nobody notices , he breaks his toys . do n't worry . he just needs some time to cool off . he 's not going to leave . [ door opens ] carter : there you are . forrester international sent over a proposal for you and caroline to do a european p.a . tour . ridge : well , you 're gon na have to talk to caroline about that , see if she 's free . as of 10 minutes ago , i quit . brooke : ridge resents rick . that 's what this is all about . it 's a conditioned response . they probably had a meeting and rick treated him with disrespect , as usual , and i 'm sure ridge will stew about this for a while , but he 'll get over it . eric : i 'm not so sure . brooke : you really think ridge meant it ? that he 's going to leave ? eric : i think maybe so . look , i understand where he 's coming from . as an artist and as a designer , you know , these ideas do n't just drop out of heaven fully formed . it takes a lot of hard work and trial and error to come up with a - a successful collection , and i think that ridge is resenting the fact that his -- his work has n't been properly appreciated . and i - i do n't think he 's wrong about that . carter : this is a joke , right ? ridge : no . i do n't want to do this anymore . carter : ridge , you ca n't quit . this company needs you now more than ever . ridge : this company 's gon na be fine . carter : what brought this on ? ridge : what brought this on ? this -- this is intolerable . and now it 's gon na be permanent . carter : how is it gon na be permanent ? ridge : my dad had the brilliant idea of extending rick 's contract . i 'm not gon na hang around for that . carter : this is a disaster . ridge : yep . it is . but , hey , the good news is the numbers are up . it never used to be this way . forrester used to be about something else , about family , about everybody working together , you know , creating things together , design stuff . you know , it was all about lines . lines is what made this company . but that 's the old forrester . it does n't exist anymore . so , i 'm gon na peddle my services somewhere else . you see this ? it should have been me sitting here , running this company just like my dad taught me when i was a kid . all my life , this is what i worked for . and now it 's no longer an option . carter : it does n't have to be that way . ridge : but it is that way . i ca n't take orders from somebody that does n't know the difference between a bow and a boa . carter : what about caroline ? ridge : she knows the difference between a bow and a boa . i 'm just kidding . it 's her decision . she 's got to do what she wants to do . it does n't affect me . carter : this is bad . ridge : it is . but you get it , do n't you ? i ca n't bow to ... king rick and queen maya . i just do n't have it in me . i 'll talk to you . carter : ridge . wait . before you leave , there 's something you need to know -- something that might just stop you from walking out that door . eric : yeah , i know . rick wants to propose . he told me as much the other day . brooke : it progressed from a thought to a reality . rick bought maya a ring . brooke : how about you ? you okay with that ? brooke : [ sighs ] i do n't know . i - i wish they would just wait a little longer . but bottom line is i want our son to be happy and to be fulfilled . it 's about time , do n't you think ? eric : mm . brooke : what about you ? any objections ? any reservations ? eric : i think maya 's proven herself . i thought the way they got back together was kind of questionable , but , uh ... i mean , the proof is in the results , is n't it ? i mean , she 's the one he trusts , the woman he wants by his side . brooke : he 's committed . [ sighs ] and the way he 's acting , it could be any day now . rick : so ... maya : mm - hmm ? rick : how does a cabin in big bear sound ? you , me , away from everything and everyone . maya : where do i sign ? rick : uh , well , you -- you would sign right here . maya : oh . [ chuckles ] rick : then it 's a plan . we 'll have a private celebration . maya : that 's the second time you 've mentioned that . are we celebrating anything in particular ? rick : you 'll have to find out . carter : ridge , close the door . this is serious , all right ? rick : i know what you 're doing . and i appreciate it . but you 're my friend , and i know you 're not just doing this for forrester . you 're doing it for me . but i 'm gon na be okay . i 'll find another job . forrester 's gon na be just fine . carter : we both know that 's not true . ridge , this company needs to be brought back to what it used to be . ridge : please take it up with my dad . carter : you need to hear me out . ridge : what are you gon na say ? stick around for a few more months and he 's gon na bury himself and my dad 's gon na see he made a mistake ? carter : that 's not what i was gon na say . it 's not about rick . it 's ... it 's about maya . ridge : getting all upset . maya -- it 's the -- it 's the same thing . you know what 's gon na happen ? they 're gon na get married , i 'm gon na have to bow to her , too , and i 'm just not into it . carter : i do n't think that marriage will happen , ridge . ridge : okay . you have something to say about maya . i 'm listening . carter : when i was engaged to maya , i thought i knew everything about her . i was ... wrong . i was really ... wrong . have you noticed that she 's been different lately ? a little unsure of herself , a little more on edge ? ridge : okay . carter : well , there 's a reason . at first , i thought it was because nicole popped up in her life and that she had a hard time adjusting to having a sister . ridge : is there a point to this ? carter : this is hard . [ chuckles ] this is really hard . i promised i would n't tell , but you 're gon na leave . i need to keep you here . i still ca n't believe it . i -- ridge : ca n't believe what ? carter : forrester invests a lot in maya . she 's our lead model , the face of our lines . rick structured an entire brand around her . she is the lady by his side , the future forrester matriarch . now , if -- if anyone knew what i -- ridge : carter , carter , you are killing me . spit it out . carter : i heard maya and nicole talking about a secret . maya ... is a chosen name . she was n't born with it . ridge : that 's it ? we 're in l.a. people change their name all the time . this is your secret ? carter : maya 's birth name ... is myron . ridge : myron ? i - i -- carter , i 'm -- carter : maya avant is transgender . . . .	eric tells ridge to dial it down a little bit . he can not act so hastily . ridge says yes he can . he thought he could suck it up for a few months or even the year that rick runs the company but he ca n't . he 's out . maya tells rick that she is so lucky to have found him and this life . he says little secrets like keeping birthday surprises a surprise are okay but he knows he does not have to worry about any big ones with her . he needs stability and he has found that with her . he is taking no prisoners . and as much as it bugs ridge there is no way he can stop rick . nicole smiles to herself when she thinks about wyatt and their little trip in the sky . she runs into carter and he teases her about wyatt . then she says maya is thinking about telling rick she is transgender . she used to want her to but not now , too much will be at stake . ridge tells brooke that he is not being emotional . they have not been here to see rick and he has . rick gives only maya any leeway . eric says this is a family business and ridge can not just walk away . ridge says he knows . he thought this was his birthright until eric gave it to rick . but it is eric 's to do with what he wants , that is his prerogative just as quitting is now ridge 's prerogative . carter laughs that is odd that nicole is working this fast so all he can imagine that nicole is now looking out for her own best interests with wyatt . she argues that there is no reason for maya to tell rick and upset things now . she may not be able to stop her but she sure is gon na try to convince her not to . maya tells rick there is nothing more important than being right there with him and sharing her life with him . one day he will know everything he needs to know about her . she just hopes she does not disappoint him . eric is upset and tells brooke that if they lose ridge 's designs it will be a huge blow to the company . they can not just bale on each other . she tells eric that ridge is not going to leave . he just needs some time to cool off . eric is not so sure . he understands where he is coming from . he puts in a lot of hard work and he is resenting that his work is not fully appreciated . he is not pulling back his support from rick but he needs to sit down with both of them and work this out . she tells him that rick is going to propose so this will include maya too .

[ cell phone rings ] shirley : oh ! hey , sweetheart . you busy ? saul and i could use a little help filling these orders . coco : well , you might as well stop . sally and i are at forrester creations . shirley : oh , well , i wondered where she got to . coco : okay , grams , listen . sally turned herself in . shirley : what ? coco : she admitted everything . and i do n't know what the next step is , but i know she 's in big trouble , and i 'll just have to keep you posted , okay ? shirley : coco , wait ! coco : [ breathing shakily ] r.j. : it 's okay . it 's okay . lt . baker : what are they doing in there ? carter : it really has n't been that long . lt . baker : it 's been long enough . time to wrap this up . pam : you know , lieutenant , i thought this might take a minute , so i just took the liberty of texting one of our interns and asking her to bring up another hot dog for you . lt . baker : oh , you did ? pam : yes , with the homemade curry ginger mustard that you like so much . lt . baker : why , thank you , ms . douglas . that was -- pam : it 's the least i can do for one of our city 's finest . lt . baker : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] so , are you still determined to put this woman behind bars ? steffy : you do n't think i should ? lt baker : it 's not my call . steffy : i take no pleasure in the thought of sally in prison . carter : you do n't have to go through with it , steffy . steffy : no , i do . if we allow sally to get away with stealing our designs , it 's open season for ourselves . steal from forrester , we just sit back and let it happen . sally crossed the legal line , and we need to respond accordingly . sally : [ sighs ] is there any way to make you understand ? i 'm not talking about any lame excuses because what i did was inexcusable , but just an explanation why . thomas : i 'd love to hear it . 'cause , honestly , i 'm at a loss . sally : i got caught up . [ scoffs ] look , you do n't know my family . they 're relentless . my grams with the in - your - face and my aunt sally with her velvet glove . i just -- there was so much pressure to get spectra back in the game . `` no one can do it buy you , sally . everyone is counting on you , sally . the future is in your hands . `` i just -- i did n't want to let anyone down . i had all these people counting on me , but i wanted to do it right . with original designs , my designs . a company rebuilt on my image and my vision . thomas : i know . sally : [ scoffs ] but jarrett 's review threw me . it made me doubt myself . and grams , she just would not let up . `` we have to keep moving forward . we have to go back to our old ways and get spectra out of debt so that we can start helping our people -- saul and darlita , who have been so loyal since the beginning for little to no money . they deserve a return . `` so , when grams came up with the idea of using coco to come in here and get forrester designs ... thomas : you just went along with it . sally : you make -- you make it sound so easy . it was not easy . i had a lot of misgivings -- the thought of using my sister , the thought of betraying you and your family after you guys have been so nice to me . thomas : but in the end , that 's exactly what you did . damn it , sally . i loved you . i would have been happy to help you with anything if you had just asked . if you had trusted me the way that i trusted you . i believed in you . i believed in your talent and your designs and your goals and your ambition . all you had to do was reach out . but you did n't . instead , you lied . and you stole from me . and my family . how could you do that ? saul : no , no , no , no , no . do n't tell me this . it ca n't be true . shirley : saul , i do n't want to believe it , either , but there 's no way around it . sally just marched her big mouth over to forrester and confessed to everything . saul : but to grand larceny ? shirley : i guess , if that 's what it is . saul : god ! shirley : oh , saul , how could she ? all these beautiful orders . saul : oh , forget about that , shirley ! what is gon na happen to sal ? lt . baker : oh , that smells delicious . [ chuckles ] like nothing else in the world . pam : my pleasure , lieutenant . lt . baker : mmm ! carter : [ sighs ] not easy being boss , huh ? steffy : you think we 're doing the right thing ? carter : from a business standpoint ... no doubt . [ door opens ] coco : hey , steffy . steffy : yeah ? coco : look , i 'll understand if you shut me down , but there 's just some things that i feel like i need to say . steffy : yeah . of course . coco : my sister is a good person . is she perfect ? no . no , not even close . but she 's been there for me for my whole life . so i went to sally and i told her that i would have to give a statement against her . and she saw that it was killing me . so she just decided to confess . and i 'm not saying that erases the fact that she stole from you . i 'm not saying that at all . i guess what i 'm trying to say is that ... my sister does have a conscience , okay ? she 's not this calculating , thieving horrible person . and sally did wrong and she knows that . it was an awful decision and a terrible mistake , but please -- just please do n't send my sister to prison . steffy : [ sighs ] it 's obvious how much you care about sally . i get it . i feel the same way about my brother . but none of that changes anything . she broke the law , and there are consequences . thomas . thomas : just a few more minutes . please , stef . please . steffy : okay . sally : well , i , uh , guess this is it , where you say `` it was really nice knowing you , `` except for i 'm sure you do n't feel that way anymore . thomas : sally , i do n't know what -- sally : it 's cool . it 's fine . really . whatever happens , i brought it on myself . you 're looking at the world 's biggest fool because i knew better and i let my grams get to my head . i betrayed the two people that i care about most . i sent my sister in here to steal designs without her knowledge or consent and jeopardized her job and the first real relationship that she has ever had . what kind of sister am i ? then there 's you and what i did to you and your family . thomas : did n't have to be this way . i know you felt like you were drowning , and you had all this pressure on you to get the company back up and running , but i 'll never understand why you did n't trust me enough to just come and ask me for help . sally : i told you who i am . thomas : [ sighs ] sally : i am a spectra . i am descended from a long line of cons and grifters . lying and stealing , it is in my blood . i do n't know , and maybe it 's time that i start to embrace that inner spectra and stop fooling myself into thinking that i am better . why ? because i 'm talented ? no . jarrett schooled me on just how talented i actually am . he called it like it is . i am a joke . and now i 'm a criminal . headed off to prison . but just so you know , i 'm -- i 'm stopping production on all of your designs . i 'm gon na call the buyers and tell them that we ca n't fill their orders . i will make this go away as much as i possibly can . we will go farther into debt and we 'll have to close our doors , but you know what ? i 'm gon na do what i can to make this right . but in the meantime ... we 'll always have australia . [ laughs ] and i 'll never forget it , thomas . the way we laughed , and the way you kissed me . all the wonderful things that you said and how you believed in me . if anyone is handed all of that and still manages to screw it up , they did not deserve it in the first place . [ sniffles ] i 'm no good , thomas . so just do yourself a favor . do n't walk . run . steffy : [ sighs ] i wish sally had n't put us in this position where we have no choice but to take a hard line . we really had a moment . at least -- at least i thought so . carter : you and sally ? steffy : yeah . she was genuine , and i finally saw how my brother could be so taken by her . you know , that sally i do n't want to go to prison , but this sally , the woman who just turns around and steals from us ? she gets what she asked for . r.j. : i am so sorry this is happening . coco : yeah , i -- i really ca n't believe it . my sister could go to prison . please , steffy . please reconsider . there must be some kind of compromise . look , you could sue sally for civil damages and just take all the money , take the building , and you 'll end spectra fashions for good . just please do n't send my sister to prison . thomas : you ca n't order me to walk away any more than you can order me to stay right here . sally : you ca n't stay or go if i 'm locked up . i mean , i guess you could visit , but i do n't know why you would want to do that . thomas : all right , calm down . you 're not in prison yet . sally : i do n't care if i go . thomas : because you 're gon na fit in so well with the other inmates . sally : i will do what it takes to survive . i 'm no shrinking violet . you know that . i will just roll up my sleeves and i will come out swinging , and sooner or later , everyone will know not to mess with sally spectra . thomas : is it weird that i could see that ? sally : i 'm going where i belong . with people who think like me . but i want you to know something . i 'm ashamed . and so very sorry . you and i had a big , beautiful , wonderful , glorious shot , and i threw it all away , and i should go to prison for that alone . so , let 's get the ball rolling . why do n't you call the lieutenant in here and tell him i 'm ready ? lt . baker : we doing this ? steffy : yes , we are . we 're pressing charges . arrest her . coco : no , wait , wait ! wait , wait , wait ! sally : i 'm so sorry . i love you , pumpkin . coco : i love you so , so much . thomas : come on , man . the cuffs , really ? lt . baker : just till i get her to the station . turn around , please .	lt . baker informs sally that she is under arrest for grand larceny and espionage . before he takes her away thomas wants to speak to her alone . she tells him that she is so sorry to put him through this . shirley is ecstatic that more orders are pouring in . but she 's worried about sally and wonders where she is . lt . baker says he will take sally downtown and book her but rj is hoping thomas talking to her that they will work something out . steffy says she does not want sally to go to prison but she brought this on herself and now has to pay the coincidences . sally tells thomas that nothing gained is worth the look in his eyes right now . coco says she needs to call and tell grams . she tells grams that they are at fc and she has turned herself in , more details as she finds out . pam offers to bring lt . baker another of his famous dogs . steffy says she takes no pleasure in putting sally in prison . carter says she does n't have to press charges . steffy says yes if not it would be open season on fc . thomas says he is at a loss . she claims everyone was counting on her and she wanted to do it right with her designs and her vision . but the first review made her doubt herself and grams pushed her to go back to their original plan for knockoffs and it was her idea to use coco with the camera . thomas says he loved her and he would have helped her with anything if she had trusted and asked him . all she had to do was reach out ; instead she stole from him and his family .
hope : this feeling passed between phoebe and me the first time she was in my arms . it was like this ... jolt of electricity , this ... surge of recognition . and now i know why . we did recognize each other . phoebe and i are family . amelia : did you get them down ? liam : yeah . it took a few stories , but -- but , yeah , they 're sleeping like angels . i 'm really grateful to be here . i mean , obviously i - i missed kelly and phoebe . i do n't think i realized how much , though . amelia : kelly and phoebe love having you here . and in case she has n't mentioned it , so does steffy . wyatt : i 'm just trying to process the fact that flo is a logan . sally : and to think , flo would still be in the dark about storm being her father if it were n't for you . wyatt : i did n't do anything . i just convinced her to take a dna test . and the rest is history . sally : look where we are . wyatt : you okay ? sally : yeah , i 'm fine . wyatt : 'cause i was -- i was thinking about maybe reaching out to her and see if she wants to go to dinner . you know , and the three of us can go out . sally : you know , i 'm -- i 'm really swamped here with work . wyatt : okay , then maybe you could meet us for dessert afterwards you 're going without me ? wyatt : do you have a problem with that ? flo : i - i know that you want the best for me . i - i know you always have . but ... shauna : now is your chance to have it . flo : and what am i spposed to do with all of this guilt ? i 'm just supposed to go into forrester creations every single day and work right alongside hope , knowing that the baby that she is grieving is not only alive and well , but right within reach ? zoe : i agree with flo . it 's a terrible idea . shauna : it 's not just a job , flo . it 's your birthright . flo : what about beth 's birthright ? she deserves to be with her mother . she deserves to be with hope , the woman whose baby that i helped to steal . sally : you can have dinner with whomever you choose . wyatt : i know . just , a lot of things have changed in flo 's life . i want to see how she 's adjusting . i mean , i - i wanted it to be the three of us , but you 're saying that forrester 's got you so busy here ... sally : are you annoyed with that ? wyatt : i 'm just saying . ever since you decided to stay her at forrester , you 've been spending a lot of long nights . sally : you 're upset with me for turning down the job at spencer to stay here ? wyatt : well , i 'm -- i 'm not happy about it ! and i - i did n't appreciate the surprise of it all , either . sally : why did n't you say something to me to begin with ? wyatt : because i was trying to be supportive . i was trying to be happy for you . but you know what ? i put a hell of a lot on the line for you with my father . sally : i 'm sorry . wyatt : that -- that -- sally : okay , no , i guess i owe you an apology . wyatt : that 's -- that 's not what i 'm looking for . okay ? you -- you asked a question . i gave you an honest answer . no secrets . remember ? sally : yeah . no secrets . thomas : i understand you feel a connection to phoebe , but i worry about it . hope : you think it 's not healthy ? thomas : i think you need to protect your heart a little . yes , phoebe is family . but removed , you know ? you 're not her mother . i do n't mean to be harsh . [ sighs ] kelly and phoebe , they 're where they need to be -- with steffy . and liam 's where he needs to be , too -- in paris with steffy and those two little girls . the most you could ever be is stepmom or aunt hope . i do n't know if that 's enough for you . amelia : steffy tells the girls stories about the two of you all the time . shows them pictures , videos . kelly goes nuts . `` dada ! dada ! dada ! `` [ chuckles ] liam : yeah , we -- we video chat , you know . it 's -- it 's not the same as being there in person . amelia : oh , i 'm -- i 'm not trying to make you feel guilty . liam , i - i know what a devoted father you are . and steffy 's a great mother . i guess , heh , what i 'm trying to say is , as independent as steffy is ... i can tell she still deeply loves you . flo : hope thinks that she failed her daughter by passing out during labor , and that beth paid with her life . but she didn't . beth is alive . beth is right here . zoe : and if you say another word to anyone , we will all go to prison . shauna : zoe 's right . from the moment i held you in my arms , i made a vow that i would always love and protect you . & and that is what i 'm doing . by erasing this from your mind . this terrible chapter in your life that you were conned into . just wipe it away , honey . forget reese . forget phoebe 's really beth . just put it behind you so that you can move forward and live the life that you 're meant to live as a logan . holy mother of thin . sally : so is this normal for you and flo ? you meet regularly to , what ? catch up , stay current ? wyatt : no . sally : do you hang out with her often when i 'm not around ? wyatt : do i hang out with flo ? no . have we run into each other and had conversations ? yes . i did n't know this was a problem for you . sally : who said i had a problem ? wyatt : okay . so then what 's going on ? is this -- is this jealousy or insecurity about my friendship with flo ? someone who i have known pretty much my entire life ? sally : no . wyatt : you obviously have some concern with me having dinner with her . and if it was a guy , like , you would n't even bat an eye , but because it 's an attractive girl , like , i mean , i have n't -- sally : okay . no . how attractive is she , wyatt ? wyatt : oh , okay . that is -- that is not what i meant . sally : no , i mean , she 's your first love , right ? i mean , is she the one that got away ? is she the face that launched a thousand ships ? [ wyatt sighs ] or -- or is it a million in her case ? wyatt : wow . you are being completely unreasonable right now . sally : mm . unlike flo ? hey , man , do n't let me keep you down . just go have dinner with your ex - girlfriend . wyatt : wow . flo is a friend , sally . and she is a logan now , which means she is a part of our lives , whether you like it or not . we are all connected here . i 'm not seeing her behind your back . i even tried to include you , but you said you were too busy . sally : i am . and frankly , honestly , this conversation about flo is keeping me from the work that i should be doing . so ... enjoy your dinner . i 'll see you at home . wyatt : [ scoffs ] [ cellphone chimes ] liam : i appreciate what you 're trying to do -- amelia : you 're a good person , liam , and you are incredibly loyal to hope . but i also know you have great love for steffy . liam : yeah . yeah , of course i do . i mean , we 've been through a lot together . amelia : my point exactly . and you should be sharing this magical time , too . i 'm really grateful to work for you guys . taking care of kelly and phoebe is my joy . but you should be here with those girls , not me . you , liam . their father . shauna : i should have found your father a long time ago . who knows ? maybe storm would still be here if he had known that he had a beautiful , compassionate daughter to live for . and that was my terrible mistake . honey , i know you are tortured by this . and i 'm gon na help you move past all this so that you can live the life you were born into . if hope and the forresters offer you a job , you 're gon na take it . flo : you think that i should be rewarded for the pain that i 've caused ? shauna : switching hope 's baby was n't your idea . the only thing you did wrong was trust zoe 's father , and he took advantage of it . you feel for hope . we all do . but you know what , sweetie ? life goes on . yours will , and so will hope 's . zoe : your mom 's right . you need to listen to her . flo : i - i wish that i could just -- just do what you both are doing and just be able to forget about it and put it out of my mind and never think about it again , but ... i -- i - i can't . i - i -- i ca n't do that . i - i ca n't do that for another minute . shauna : flo , you are not walking out that door . [ knock on door ] shauna : are you expecting someone ? flo : who is it ? wyatt : hey . uh , it 's wyatt . flo : he ca n't see zoe . go ! uh , just give me a minute , okay ? [ sighs ] hi . wyatt : uh , sorry i did n't call ahead . flo : it 's okay . no . just come on in . wyatt : [ chuckles ] i 've been -- i 've been thinking about you a lot lately . just all the incredible things that have been happening to you in your life , and ... i mean , finding out you 're related to brooke and katie and donna , the -- the logan sister -- hope . [ chuckles ] i mean , it 's just -- it 's crazy . and , um , i just ... i wa - wanted to tell you that it could n't have happened to a sweeter , kinder , more deserving person . ( dog vo ) my new beneful superfood blend amelia : if you and hope had had your baby , things would be different . your place would be with them . but , tragically , that did n't happen , and steffy has these two girls now , and -- [ sighs ] liam : i know where you 're coming from . it 's -- it 's a place of caring for steffy and the girls . and i ca n't really fault you for that , 'cause it 's kind of your job . amelia : i 'm just saying . home is where the heart is . and i - i know you love hope . but you have three hearts beating for you right here . [ phoebe fusses on monitor ] amelia : mm . that 's phoebe . ah , she 's getting a little restless . [ phoebe crying ] liam : uh , you know what ? let me , um ... let me check on her .

[ chuckles ] hope : see ? that 's another good reason why you should be there . liam : so , what 's been going on ? hope : well , i offered flo a job at hope for the future . liam : wow . really ? that must have blown her mind . hope : yeah , but i 'm not sure she 's gon na take it . you know , it might be difficult under the circumstances . liam : just 'cause of the proximity to steffy and phoebe ? hope : exactly . you know , now the offer is on the table if flo wants it . and in the meantime , i do n't want you to feel like you have to rush back , okay ? stay with the girls as long as possible . liam : well , i miss you . hope : i miss you , too . and kelly and phoebe . heh . you know , it makes sense now , this bond that i 've always felt with her . she 's a logan . wyatt : [ chuckles ] you are a logan now . like , that 's -- that 's wild . i mean , you must be shocked . flo : yeah . wyatt : i mean it . you -- you could n't have special - ordered up a cooler bunch of women to be related to . i mean , you 're never gon na be alone another day in your life . that 's just how the logans are . they 're always there for each other , and they have each other 's backs . it 's a beautiful thing . flo : you know , hope , uh , called earlier , and she offered me a job at forrester creations . wyatt : that 's crazy . are you -- this just keeps getting better and better . [ chuckles ] i mean , not that i 'm surprised . you 're -- you 're a part of the family now . i mean , you 're gon na say yes , though , obviously , right ? flo : uh , i -- i have n't yet . wyatt : i mean , you 're going to . flo : i do n't know . wyatt : flo ! this -- this is a career opportunity of a lifetime . you -- you have to take it . liam : oh , hey ! look who 's up . amelia : she wants to be with you . liam : oh ! let 's make that happen . amelia : here you go . liam : hey , baby girl . oh ! amelia : phoebe 's lucky to have a daddy who so clearly adores her . liam : yeah , well , i 'm not really her daddy . amelia : yes , you are , liam . in every way that matters . you are absolutely phoebe 's dad . liam : hey , cutie . amelia : hi . hello . flo : it 's just kind of hard for me to know what the right thing to do is , you know ? wyatt : look , just ... take hope 's offer . just -- just try it , you know ? do n't -- do n't be like sally . flo : like sally ? what -- what does that mean ? wyatt : i - i got my dad to offer sally this incredibly opportunity to re - launch her design house at spencer . [ sighs ] and , last minute , she decided she did n't want to do it anymore . and that kind of just pissed me off . [ sighs ] in fact , we kind of got into a disagreement earlier about the whole thing , and ... i mean , i guess that happened . and now i - i think she 's -- i think she 's keeping secrets from me about her ex - boyfriend , thomas . steffy 's brother . flo : wow . well , i am , uh ... look , i 'm really sorry that you are going through all of that . wyatt : i mean , the truth of the matter is , our little tiff was n't exactly all her fault . flo : what do you mean ? wyatt : sally 's very intuitive . you know , she -- she picks up on things . and -- and lately i - i 've been -- i 've been spending a lot of time with you , remembering our past , and helping you find your -- your dad and everything . and -- and ... i do n't know . i - i just -- i 've been thinking about you a lot lately , and , i do n't know -- flo : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i should n't have done that . shauna : oh . wow . talk about déjà vu . what year is it ? and i 'm still barging in on you two ? wyatt : um ... [ clears throat ] flo : heh ... wyatt : i really want to see you later . you want to -- can i take you to dinner ? flo : yeah . that 'd be great . wyatt : i 'll text you . flo : ' kay . shauna : oh , do n't leave on my account . all clear , zoe . zoe : uh , is everything all right ? shauna : well , you tell me . look at my daughter 's face . she is so in love . it 's obvious . all the more reason why you can not tell hope the truth . wyatt will never forgive you . take the job at forrester . be part of this world . i know that 's what you want , sweetie . flo : yeah , you -- you -- you are right , you know . i - i ... i knew that i always loved him , but i -- i am still in love with him . shauna : well , of course you are . embrace it . see where it goes . no one ever has to know about beth . zoe : you ca n't tell hope the truth . you ca n't tell anyone . not ever . shauna : look at me . here 's what we 're gon na do . we 're gon na make a pact right here , right now . come on . swear with us . the three of us solemnly swear that we will forever keep this secret . no one will ever know that phoebe is hope 's beth . . . .	liam is in paris and tells amelia he is so grateful that he is here with the girls . she slips that as independent as steffy is she is sure that she still loves liam . sally is designing and wyatt walks in and says thought they could invite flo out for dinner . she blows that off and says she is too busy . he says maybe she could just meet them for dessert . irked , she asks if he would go without her . he wants to know if she has a problem with that . he wanted it to be the three of them since flo 's life has changed and he wants to be sure she is okay . she thinks wyatt is still reeling from the fact that he went to bat for sally with bill and then bailed on that job . she keeps quizzing him if he hangs out with flo when she is not around . they end up arguing . sally is acting jealous . he reminds her that he tried to include her for the dinner and she is the one who refused . she walks off after saying she will see him at home . thomas tells hope that he understands her feelings for phoebe and he does not mean to be harsh , but the girls are right where they need to be . and liam it too with them and steffy and he is not sure that will be enough for hope to be just aunt hope . amelia goes on that one of her great joys is to be with steffy and the girls but it should be liam there . shauna gives flo a pep talk that all of them want to give hope something for the future but flo needs to put all of that behind her and move on with her own life , one of a logan which she deserve

[ scene_break ] ridge : you 're depraved . prince omar : not true , ridge . ridge : yes , it is . you robbed a grave out of some bizarre obsession with getting your hands on the one woman you could never have . prince omar : everything with you is so simplistic , is n't it ? i take laila away , so i 'm depraved . and when she tells you she 's dying , you allow her to unhook the very machines that were keeping her alive . is n't that what you did ? ridge : that was n't my decision to make , omar . taylor wanted the machines unhooked . taylor , this is n't safe . you ca n't just take yourself off the machines . we have to call the doctor . taylor : he knows . ridge : what do you mean , he knows ? taylor : i asked him to do it . ridge : why ? taylor : because i do n't need them anymore . ridge : she knew what she wanted . and i had to respect that . as you should have . prince omar : she was giving up . you should have fought for her . ridge : you say that like i had a choice . i did n't have any choice , omar . if i had a choice , if it was up to me , i 'd still have her in my arms right now . ridge : i love you . i love you always . taylor : i love you , too . good - bye , sweetheart . ridge : and that was it . prince omar : and who pronounced her dead ? you ? ridge : no . prince omar : then who ? ridge : it does n't matter . i just knew . prince omar : really ? are you a doctor , ridge ? ridge : i did n't need anybody to tell me , omar . she was in my arms . prince omar : so you did n't need a doctor . that 's why you did n't want them in the room . you did n't even try to revive her , did you ? no cpr , no defibrillator , no iv meds , nothing . ridge : revive her ? she did n't want that . she did n't want to be revived . are you telling me that when you went to get taylor you -- ? prince omar : i what ? ridge : oh , my god . oh , my god . my wife is alive , is n't she ? answer me . is taylor alive ? taylor : yes , ridge . i am .	nick makes his friend see that they were actually helping by committing a crime . ridge realizes that his wife is a dummy . omar passes judgement . thorne tells his parents that lately he has been digging taylor . taylor appears with all the brightness of an angel .

[ both laugh ] rick : take it for what it 's worth . i mean , if you accept them . zende : i do . i really appreciate your advice . and you -- you 've been -- you 've been solid through this whole mess . and i know you have your own way of feeling about it -- you know , where nicole 's concerned -- but i 've never felt anger or judgment from you . rick : we 're family , zende . nothing touches that . i just hope that you do n't lose sight of what a selfless , amazing thing that nicole is doing for maya and me . she 's literally giving us a miracle . zende : i get that , i do . but i ca n't get swept up in all the good feelings like everyone else . julius : so , we 're all agreed -- sasha 's going back home . it 's the best thing for nicole . maya : for once , you and i are on the same page . vivienne : i 'm not sure . i feel bad for sasha . julius : well , you 're gon na have to get over that bleedin ' heart , sweetheart , and get on board to support our efforts to get that girl out of l.a . it 's the best thing for nicole . vivienne : i already went to sasha . i asked her to back away from zende until nicole gives birth . she was n't havin ' it . julius : we need to wear her down . maya : we should n't have to . after everything our family 's done for her ? y'all practically raised her . julius : hmm . listen , go to her again , sweetheart , and this time , take a stronger stance . vivienne : i have a hard time being tough on sasha . maya : why ? that girl seems perfectly capable of holding her own . vivienne : no , that 's the front she puts on , on the outside , to hide the pain that she 's feeling inside . growing up without a father - i mean , a strong male influence in her life - i mean , the way you are with nicole . come on , julius . nicole : i ca n't believe what i 'm hearing right now . sasha : that i 'm your sister ? nicole : and the way my dad 's treated you . sasha : because you were the family that he wanted . you 're the one he chose , and i was this mistake that he never wanted you guys to know about . never wanted you guys to know about . nicole : that 's awful . you grew up knowing that your dad was a few houses down . you just pretended to be some girl from the neighborhood . sasha : and now -- and now he wants me to leave . you know , nic , all i ever wanted was dad 's approval ... for him to accept me , maybe even love me one day . i do n't have much of a relationship with our father , but i would like to keep what i do have . and if you tell him that you know , he 'll take it all away . so , please , nic , you ca n't tell him that you know . just let me stay his dirty little secret . nicole : you are not dirty . and you 're not a secret anymore . sasha : no , nic , please , you have to promise me you wo n't tell him ! nicole : i promise that i will look out for you . i will honor our sisterhood from now on . but what i ca n't promise is to let this secret stand for another day . sasha : nic ... nicole : and i wo n't let him disrespect you , my mother , or our family any more . and my mom , after all that she has put up with from him , she deserves to know the truth . maya : you know how daddy is . whatever . rick : where 's julius ? maya : oh , he went back to the motel . rick : oh . you did n't have a fight , did you ? maya : no . actually , dad and i are in agreement for once . it 's amazing . rick : about sasha ? maya : yeah , he wants mom to use her influence to get her to leave town . rick : and you do n't want that . vivienne : in a perfect world , of course not . i am not saying what sasha did to nicole was okay with me . but i ca n't stop feeling sorry for that girl . i mean , she grew up in our home , being part of but not part of the one thing that was so important to her -- a traditional family with a father . she never had that , and some girls can really be damaged if they do n't have a -- a male role model . getting rejected by us -- the one true family experience she had -- i think could damage her even more , and i do n't know if i want that on my conscience . sasha : there you go again , bossing me around ! who do you think you are , mr. avant ? julius : watch the way you talk to me . sasha : talk to you like what , mr. avant ? julius : you watch your tone . sasha : do n't like that , mr. avant ? should i call you something else ? do you want me to call you what you really are ? daddy ? ! zende : hey , caroline wants you to check in with her tomorrow before the photo shoot to make sure all the jewelry 's on point . what 's wrong ? something 's wrong . sasha , wait . whoa . you 're shaking . sasha : i 'm scared . zende : why ? sasha : something bad is gon na happen . you do n't know how mad he 's gon na be . zende : who ? sasha : mr. avant . zende : you 're afraid of nicole 's father ? [ knock on door ] julius : what the hell ? oh , hey , darling . are n't you supposed to be at work ? nicole : we need to talk . julius : okay . but it 's gon na have to wait a minute . i got to sink a couple of more of these , and it takes concentration . you know , i -- i have n't given up on eric being my golfing buddy . what 's wrong ? why are you looking at me like that ? nicole : you ca n't guess ? julius : i guess i have to assume that i did or said something wrong about the baby . but i wo n't apologize if i have an issue about what maya 's doing to you . i mean , i know you 're sisters , but it 's asking too much . nicole : sisters . that 's how we roll , dad . we -- we are there for each other , we protect each other , we support each other . we are proud of each other . julius : i do n't know what you 're talking about . nicole : how could you ? julius : how could i what ? nicole : i have n't always agreed with you ... but i have looked up to you my whole life . my father -- not an easy man but a man of honor and integrity ... a man that we could trust and believe in , a man who deserved my mother 's love . julius : i do n't know what you 're talking about . nicole : i know , dad . julius : you know what ? nicole : your dirty little secret . the one that you have been keeping from us all these years . the one that stayed at our house ... ate at our table ... who has been my best friend since i can remember . yeah , that 's right . i know , dad . i know that you do n't have two daughters . you have three . sasha is my sister .	nicole questions sasha why she would say they were sisters . viv and julius run into zende and viv manages to scramble julius off before he gets too riled up . he does make some reference of zende making it right with nicole and not running after sasha . viv wants them just to have a nice relaxing lunch without all this drama . julius says he is trying to get used to nicole carrying maya 's baby but he does not like it . rick tells zende that he has been where he is with two gorgeous women in love with him and he did n't handle it very well either and he hopes zende will not be uncomfortable with that . zende says he enjoys both of them but if nicole had not made the choice of having the baby he would not be looking at sasha . after all that has happened he is still in love with nicole . rick says perhaps they will find a way to get back together .
eric : but coco agreed to sign the affidavit . ridge : yes , and she would 've if sally had n't confessed . eric : but sally could n't put her sister through that . ridge : no one wants sally to go to jail , but sometimes you do things and ... there 's a price to be paid . eric : and a collection to finish . ridge : as fast as we can . eric : look , we 've been really busy . i have n't had a chance to ask you , but how are things with you and brooke ? quinn : she 's gone ? pam : hauled off in handcuffs . ivy : what ? that 's terrible . katie : she stole from your family , and you feel sorry for her ? ivy : it 's just a very ugly situation . katie : yeah , well , forrester 's had their fair share of those . pam : yeah , but usually the police do n't have to get involved . quinn : [ sighs ] ivy : so , uh , we 're all working together now . katie : yeah ! yeah . any way i can help . quinn : we did n't know that you were on your way back from australia when we offered katie this job . would you mind asking your sister when she wants to shoot the first two designs for the press kit ? please ? katie : sure . be right back .

katie was in sydney . she was there when brooke called off the wedding , which was when the truth came out about you and ridge . quinn , what happened ? what did you do ? quinn : [ sighs ] eric : you and brooke are working with each other . that brought you together before . ridge : she 's wearing bill 's ring . eric : he proposed ? ridge : happened pretty quickly , did n't it ? eric : i 'm sorry . ridge : it 's okay . they were engaged before , and brooke came back to me . eric : there anything i can do ? look , maybe if i understood why she called off the wedding . why wo n't you tell me what happened in australia ? brooke : my relationship with ridge is over . katie : because of quinn . brooke : i ca n't be with a man i do n't trust . katie : and you trust bill ? brooke : he said this would happen . ridge can say it means nothing , that it was n't an affair , but it was a betrayal . he betrayed me , our family , and his father . katie : yeah , well , eric still does n't have any idea what happened . he still thinks that quinn is completely devoted to him . brooke : i hope she will be . katie : i guess i 'll know if she is n't . brooke : i thought quinn hired you because she wanted you two to have a fresh start . katie : yeah . right . brooke : katie , i have to ask . are you blackmailing ridge and quinn ? ivy : so , brooke saw you , you and ridge , on the beach . quinn : okay , ivy , i really do n't feel comfortable talking about this here . ivy : you do n't have to say anymore . quinn : thank you . ivy : no , thank you for being honest with me . you know , when i heard about brooke ending things with ridge , i suspected . quinn : she did n't have to react that way . ridge told her it was nothing . he wanted to go through with the wedding . he still does . ivy : well , i can understand why brooke does n't . i mean , come on . think about it . her fiancé with his father 's wife ? sorry . quinn : [ sighs ] i thought ridge could get through to her . but we all agreed not to say anything to protect eric . ivy : so then why did brooke tell katie ? quinn : no ! ridge ! ridge told katie ! she 's been pressuring me ever since ! she 's been threatening to tell eric and making demands and twisting the knife . ivy : katie logan ? quinn : ohhh . no , it 's amazing what a little power will do to someone . i thought this job would , i do n't know , just pacify her . you know , but if this is the way it 's gon na be , tiptoeing around my own office , constantly feeling under threat , i 'm -- i 'm telling you , i am not going to live that way . eric : what , you have to get back to the office ? ridge : i do . but i appreciate your concern . eric : but you 're not gon na answer my question , are you ? ridge : i made a mistake with brooke , and i got to fix it . involving someone else does n't make a difference . eric : well , you got bill spencer in the mix now . ridge : i just have to get through to brooke , and then bill wo n't be an issue . eric : yeah , but she accepted his proposal . ridge : yeah , she did . we all make mistakes . if she can overlook mine , i can certainly overlook hers . i 'm not giving up . eric : you ca n't . i ca n't imagine what my life would be like if i 'd given up on quinn . brooke : answer me , katie . are you blackmailing ridge and quinn ? katie : oh , come on . brooke : is that how you got this job ? katie : may i remind you that i used to run this place and i did a damn good job of it ? brooke : yes , you did . and you 're a lot of help , if that 's what this is -- help . katie : so let me get this straight . quinn can have ulterior motives but i ca n't ? brooke : well , it does seem strange to me that you got this job , so i 'm just asking . katie : well , i do n't know what quinn is thinking . frankly , i do n't really want to be inside that woman 's head . but i ca n't argue with the timing . i mean , will is in school . i 've been home . i 've been working on small projects , but when she offered me this position , i wanted to take it . brooke : even though you 'll be working side by side with katie : with her , with you , with ridge , with eric . brooke : how did she hire you ? did she just call you up ? katie : no , i was over at the house . brooke : i thought you were n't allowed at the house . katie : yeah , well , she 's not really in the position to keep me away . brooke : okay . see , this is what worries me . you have this power over quinn , and it seems like you 're enjoying it . katie : i 'm not enjoying anything about what happened with quinn and ridge . i hate what it did to you . i hate what it could do to eric . brooke : well , then just forget it . katie : forget it ? ! brooke : yes , forget it . nothing more is going on with those two . it 's done . so do n't say anything . eric ca n't know about ridge and quinn . [ birds chirping ] eric : ridge , if you believe in a future with brooke , then you hang on to that . ridge : i 'm trying . eric : listen , our instincts are very important to us as artists . you know , my gut told me to trust quinn from the very beginning , to believe in her , and i did . my instincts were right . now , if your instincts tell you to go with brooke , then you do that . i know how much you love her . ridge : thank you , dad . i do . eric : look , quinn and i are terrific together , and we 've been through some rough patches . we even broke up for a while . but look at us now . never been happier in my life . ridge : really ? even though spectra stole your collection ? eric : yeah , well , if i had n't had quinn by my side , this would have been a lot harder . look , that 's important , to have somebody in your life you can depend on , have that kind of foundation . ridge : she 's good for you . eric : [ chuckling ] you know how good it is for me to hear you say that ? ridge : well , it 's the truth . eric : i think with quinn at my side , i can handle anything . losing the collection was a blow , but we can bounce back from that . i 'm so proud of our family , the way we 've risen to this occasion . and i 'm most especially proud of you and quinn . ridge : we 're talking about you and quinn . eric : yeah , we are . she 's extraordinary , you know . i love her so much . i depend on her . she -- she -- she 's the wind at my back . no matter what happens , i know she 'll be there for me . she 'll never let me down . ridge : and you said that from the very beginning , and i should have listened . eric : well , now you 're listening . ridge : i just want you to be happy . eric : i am . ridge : let 's keep it that way . quinn : i love my husband , ivy . whatever katie thinks , she 's wrong . i will never betray or disappoint eric ever again . pam : what that young woman did was criminal , eric . eric : yeah , well , she 's not gon na get away with it . pam : how can you be so calm ? she stole your entire collection . eric : well , i have quinn . and like i told ridge , that makes everything in my life a lot easier to deal with . katie : i care about eric just as much as you do . brooke : i know you do n't want to hurt eric . but do n't you see ? trying to undermine his marriage is -- katie : that 's not what i 'm doing ! brooke : [ sighs ] there are so many positions here at forrester creations . you do n't need to work side by side with quinn ! [ door opens ] katie : actually , if you must know , it was eric that offered me the position , and that 's right where he wants me . ivy : you guys , we 're trying to re - create an entire collection , katie , and quinn ca n't work if she feels like she 's being spied on . quinn : oh , she knows . ivy : do n't worry . i 'm not gon na tell eric . katie : [ scoffs ] brooke : nobody 's going to tell eric anything because nothing is going on between ridge and quinn ! quinn : that 's right ! i swear ! i 'm totally committed to my husband . i love eric . i made a huge mistake . it 's never going to happen again . you -- you 're the one who needs to be with ridge . i - i wo n't even be an issue anymore , but you have to figure out how to forgive him . is that bill 's ring ? brooke : yes . quinn : ridge still wants to have a life with you , brooke . brooke : ridge needs to focus on work . we all do . we ca n't be pulled apart anymore . we need to pull together . and yes , katie , there is a position for you here . but you ca n't tell eric , and you ca n't threaten quinn ! katie : so quinn just gets away with it ? ! what 's wrong with you ? ! you 're going soft on her after everything she 's done ? ! brooke : no , i am not going soft . i did what i had to do . i called off my marriage , and now i 'm committed to bill . ridge : what 's going on here ? brooke : we 're trying to come to an agreement . quinn : yeah . katie wants to tell eric . ridge : you ca n't do that . my dad is happy . he 's happier than he 's been in a long time . it 's because of quinn . he believes in her . [ sighs ] the only people that know about this stupid mistake are right here in this room . no one else knows , and no one else will know . let 's put this to rest once and for all . pam : you looking for inspiration ? eric : no , not really . gratitude , actually . that 's what i 'm feeling . it was n't long ago that i was retired from forrester . i did n't think i had anything left to contribute to the company , and then ... quinn convinced me otherwise . she gave me my spark back . pam : well , we 're all so grateful for that spark , especially now . eric : oh , yeah . i think it 's terrific the way the family 's come together to deal with this whole crisis . can you -- can you imagine if this had happened when i was first seeing quinn ? pam : [ chuckles ] in the middle of all that chaos ? eric : yeah , forrester was a battleground . pam : yeah , it was . but things have changed . eric : yes , they have . and i knew they would . i knew it . as soon as everybody came around to support quinn , i knew things would be better , especially the way ridge came around . pam : yeah . that means a lot to you , does n't it , eric ? eric : yeah . yeah , it does . we have a very special connection . pam : you always have . eric : it was broken there for a while . but it 's better now . no one supports my marriage to quinn more than ridge does . ridge : for the sake of my father and the sake of this family , can we just let this go and move on ? quinn : it 's hard when you 're being blackmailed . katie : oh , for god 's sake . i 'm sorry that you find my presence so threatening . quinn : [ scoffs ] katie : but i work here now . ridge : well , then let 's get to work ! let 's do something ! forget about these games ! katie : i 'm just trying to protect your father ! quinn : it 's not your job to keep everybody in line ! brooke : i asked you to leave it alone , katie . quinn : you 've got to stop holding this over my head . you think the spectra scandal is bad ? if anybody finds out about this stupid mistake we made , i mean , it 's already ruined one relationship ! if eric finds out , it can destroy the entire family ! ridge : it 's not gon na happen . brooke : as long as nothing happens between the two of you . quinn : what do i have to say to convince you ? ridge does not have any feelings for me , and i do n't have any feelings for him ! ridge : listen to me . this is over . it 's in the past , and it 's gon na stay in the past . this stupid , senseless mistake is not gon na tear up this whole family . unless that 's what you want , katie . is that what you 're looking for ? ivy ? i appreciate your silence . can we keep it that way ? i love my father very much . i know it does n't always come across that way , but i do . and that relationship is very important to me . i 'm not gon na let you jeopardize it . and if your sense of justice is offended by that , if you think i need to pay the price , i have paid the price with the one thing that means more to me than anything else in the world . you want something else ? you want my dad to pay , too ? he 's not going to . do we understand each other ? quinn : yes . ivy : absolutely . brooke : yes . katie ? katie : well , i suppose if nothing else happens between the two of you , then sure , i wo n't say anything . quinn : great . let 's get back to work . katie : let 's . quinn : come on . [ door opens ] ridge : brooke , wait . brooke : [ sighs ] she means well . ridge : does she ? did she see the ring ? brooke : yes . ridge : what are we doing ? i know you 're committed to bill because you think you ca n't trust me . but you can . i ca n't lose you , and i ca n't let this marriage happen 'cause i need you in my life . brooke : i 'm marrying bill . i 'm committed to bill . ridge : i will fight for you . you will always be my logan .	quinn tells ivy that they did not know she was on her way back from australia when she offered katie the job with the jewelry . brooke tells katie that it is up to judge and jury if sally goes to jail but she was hauled off . katie notices brooke 's ring from bill and sees they are engaged again . brooke asks katie if there is a chance she is blackmailing quinn and ridge . quinn tells ivy that she is just keeping an eye on katie and she really does not want her working here . eric tells ridge they have been so busy with the new collection he has not asked about him and brooke . they worked together before and it worked so it could again . ridge says yes but she is wearing bill 's ring again . eric can not understand why ridge wo n't tell him what happened in australia for them to call off the wedding . quinn fills ivy in that katie saw her and ridge on the beach but he told her it meant nothing but katie is threatening to tell eric . that is too much power so she gave her the job to appease eric . but she will not live that way . ridge says he made a mistake and he needs to fix it . everyone makes mistakes . if brooke can forgive him then he certainly can forgive her . eric says he and quinn have had some ups and downs but he does not think he could make it without her . he loves her so much . she is the wind at his back and will never let him down . so if ridge thinks he has a future with brooke then do not shy away from that .

( sighs ) steffy 's in the hospital . brooke : yes , we 've heard . hope : i feel terrible . brooke : it was an accident . and ridge just found out that she has a sprained knee . she 's going to be fine . hope : ( sighs ) okay , well that -- that 's good news . brooke : so how are you doing , sweetheart ? you 're coming home ? when ? hope : uh , oh , like , right now . the , uh , the jet 's waiting for me . so . brooke : you mean the jet 's waiting for you and liam ? hope : no , just me . brooke : liam 's not coming with you ? hope : no , th -- uh , you know what , i -- i 'll -- i can explain it to you when i get home , but i got ta go now , okay ? i love you . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] nurse : here 's your insurance card and your discharge papers . steffy : thank you . nurse : you are free to go . liam : tell everyone thank you for taking such good care of her . nurse : our pleasure . steffy : and thank you for taking care of me . liam : yeah , did n't do much . steffy : you stayed on the mountain with me . that meant a lot . liam : yeah , i was n't about to leave you . steffy : hey , um , you mind taking me back to my hotel ? liam : uh , no , i 'm not taking you there . i 'm gon na take you back to the house with me . steffy : what about hope ? liam : it 's a big house . you two will be fine . steffy : um , i 'm pretty -- liam : yeah , i 'm not taking no for an answer , so you should , like , stop . steffy : all right . all right . but i am a weak cowgirl , so ... you 're gon na have to throw me over your shoulder and carry me . liam : well , a man 's got ta do what a man 's got ta do , pilgrim . come here . steffy : wha -- liam : careful . here we go . steffy : are you -- no , i was -- i was kidding . liam : well , i can put you back down . steffy : no , no , it 's fine . let me just grab this ... liam : oh , okay . steffy : and this and this . liam : come on . steffy : okay , i 'm ready . liam : this is why you do n't need a hotel , steffy . you would fall at a hotel . steffy : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : did hope say why she was coming back now ? brooke : she 'll explain when she gets here . ridge : liam 's not coming with her ? brooke : no . ( sighs ) liam is not coming home with her . why ? what does it mean ? ridge : well , fashion week is still in full swing . the guy 's got a lot of work to do there , and the press is hounding her . so there you have it . taylor : or it could be something else entirely . brooke : what do you think it is , taylor ? taylor : aspen is a very magical place for liam and steffy . and maybe them being there together and now having gone through what they have , it brought them closer together . so maybe that 's why hope is on the plane by herself . [ scene_break ] man : excuse me , miss logan ? hope : ( clears throat ) man : we can take off as soon as the rest get here . hope : oh , uh , it 's -- it 's just gon na be me . man : steffy and mr. spencer are n't joining you ? hope : no , they 're staying in aspen . man : well , then i 'll tell the captain we 're ready to take off . let 's get you back to l.a . hope : thank you . [ scene_break ] liam : all right , almost there . steffy : ( sighs , scoffs ) yeah , this is really nice fashion . ( laughs ) liam : ( chuckles ) steffy : i could totally snowboard in this thing . liam : yeah , in your dreams , speed demon . steffy : what ? not even the bunny hill ? liam : n -- the doctor said no . sorry , you 're gon na have to settle for building a snowman . steffy : how about a hot toddy by the river ? liam : okay , deal . ( chuckles ) steffy : okay . liam : all right . huh . it 's from hope . liam : `` dear liam , i let you down . i 'm sorry . see you in l.a . i love you . hope . `` she went back to l.a . [ scene_break ] steffy : ( inhales ) cha cha cha . ( laughs ) hot toddy ? liam : yes , ma'am . steffy : ( chuckles ) liam : ( sighs ) ( sighs ) it 's beautiful , is n't it ? steffy : yeah . [ scene_break ] liam : reminds me of the last time we were here . steffy : me , too . came to aspen on a whim and left the world behind us . ( sighs ) so nice , you know , the sound of the river and the mountains . it 's pretty nice , huh ? liam : yeah . steffy : well , that did n't work . liam : what ? steffy : my protective ski clothes . liam : ( laughs ) steffy : ( laughs ) i was like a flashing stop sign going down that run , and i still got hit ... liam : yeah . steffy : by hope , of all people . you know what ? i might have manufacturing sew in a little , uh , warning label . yeah . liam : ( chuckles ) steffy : `` this jacket will not protect you from blondes on skis . `` yeah . ( chuckles ) jeez . i 'm sorry hope left you . i know you 're worried about her . you know what ? i just -- i feel like that 's all we 've been doing is just worrying and wondering what the next step might be , whose turn it is to be happy or sad . it 's no way for any of us to live . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : it 's just so many crazy , out - of - control things have happened . and i think it 's up to me to stop the madness . so , um ... ( sighs ) these are for you . liam : steffy , you signed our annulment papers . steffy : you 're free . ( chuckles )	steffy holds the annulment papers and tells ramona that now it is done . that is the end of her marriage ; now liam and hope can jump into wedded bliss . ramona thinks she is making a huge sacrifice . steffy says all this competition will only get worse and has to end , so she is giving liam his freedom . hope says again that liam needs to take the pills ; she is done with them . he does n't want to have this conversation and he does n't want the high school version of it . he loves her and he will forgive her , but that 's really not the point .the way she 's been acting lately like this fragile , insecure little girl . if she ca n't handle a few weeks of annoyance by the press , then maybe she will not be able to handle being mrs. william spencer iii . he does n't want to spend his married life coming home to find her self - medicating . she promises she will never use pills to solve her problems ever again . she gives him a hug and tells him to go back to steffy as she should n't be alone . she is going to do what she has to do . liam shows up at the hospital just about the time dr. meade releases steffy in a soft cast . liam insists and will not take no for an answer ; he is taking her back to the house with him and hope . she jokes that she is a weak cowgirl right now so he will have to throw her over his shoulder to get her out of here . ridge gets a text from steffy - sprained knee , no surgery . brooke gets a call from hope who tells her she is on the jet just waiting to come home . brooke is surprised to hear that it is without liam . she is concerned just what that means . taylor offers that aspen is a very magical place and after all that has happened there , maybe it is bringing liam and steffy closer together . with her arm around liam and him guiding her , steffy hobbles her way up the path to the cabin . he tells her no more snowboarding ; she will have to settle for making a snowman . they find a note on the door from hope . she tells liam that she let him down , she loves him and will see him back in l.a. liam takes steffy to a beautiful spot by the river where they have their hot toddy . she muses that she is sorry that hope left him and she knows he is worried about her . it seems like all they have been doing is worrying what the next step is gon na be and whose turn it is to be happy or sad . that 's no way to live and it 's up to her to stop the madness . she pulls out the papers from her jacket and hands it to him . he 's stunned when he sees that she has signed the annulment papers and she tells him that now he is free .
donna : wow . caroline : oh , i am so glad you guys could make it . brooke : the room is fabulous . caroline : the staff did a terrific job . hey , um , you did n't happen to see rick on your way in by chance , did you ? brooke : no . caroline : i just kind of expected him here by now . donna : well , since he 's in the fashion show , he 'll be here . [ chuckles ] caroline : i 'm gon na go check for him backstage . brooke : good luck . donna : raise lots of money . caroline : that 's the idea . donna : sure you 're gon na be able to stay away from bill ? brooke : uh , yes . i already told you . donna : let 's be honest . you 've never really been good at denying yourself handsome , sexy men . brooke : well , i guess i have to learn . i do n't want to come between bill and katie . she deserves to have a fabulous , wonderful , healthy relationship , and i want her to be happy . so , whatever was going on between bill and me , it 's ... it 's over . [ scene_break ] waiter : someone will be right with you . bill : thank you . katie : thanks . [ both laugh ] bill : you look like you 're in shock . katie : well , it is n't every day that my business titan husband clears his schedule for me and takes me to lunch . bill : shame on me . you deserve the attention . katie : seriously , making it where we can spend time together ? thank you .

[ chuckles ] caroline : hey , has anyone seen rick ? [ scene_break ] maya : well , i 'm not a huge caroline fan , but this fundraiser , it 's gon na rock . rick : raising money for cancer research is something that 's personal to her . maya : did she lose someone ? rick : her aunt . it was the woman who she was named after . maya : i 'm so sorry . well , i 'm happy you can help the cause . rick : well , it could be worse . caroline could ask me to wear heels . maya : why would she do that ? rick : it 's a long story . but i 'd love to tell you about it over dinner . that is , if you 're free . maya : i 'd like that . yeah . caroline : there you are . i have been looking all over for you . i am so excited to get started . it 's gon na be a great afternoon . and night . maya : i was just telling rick your fundraiser 's gon na be awesome . caroline : well , rick was my inspiration . i know how much i like seeing my man shirtless . and there 's such a wealth of talent around here , it 's kind of a no- brainer . you know , carter 's in the show , too . maya : is he ? caroline : mm - hmm . a little eye candy , especially for you . see how i got your back ? rick : so generous . caroline : i just want everyone to have a good time . truly . even you , mona . petty differences do n't even stack up against this terrible disease . we can go back to being enemies again tomorrow . i got to go . wish me luck . rick : you do n't need luck . you 're gon na be great . caroline : you are just the sweetest man . i see a very nice reward in your future . [ scene_break ] waiter : can i get you something to drink ? bill : my wife will have an iced tea , and i will have a ... water . katie : no , go . order something . really . it 's fine . i would like a white wine , actually . bill : um , well , in that case , i 'll have a scotch , neat . waiter : i 'll send them right over . katie : thank you . bill : i 'm not gon na pay for this later ? katie : only when you get the check . i meant what i promised . i am done trying to change you or control you . i do n't want to be the nagging wife that you ca n't get away from fast enough . i know who i married . and you are absolutely perfect just the way you are . [ laughs ] bill : perfect . um , it 's a stretch , katie , but i appreciate the sentiment . katie : well , i 'm sorry i 've been so rigid and judgmental . i mean , that 's not who i am . that 's not who you married . bill : well , you were going through a lot . katie : you 've been incredibly understanding . a lesser man would have walked away , but you did n't . you never lost faith in us . and i 'm gon na have so much fun making it up to you . [ scene_break ] brooke : dr. caspary ? dr. caspary : oh , brooke . brooke : hi . i did n't expect to see you here . dr. caspary : cancer research is something i 'm passionate about . brooke : yes , of course . you are a doctor . well , it 's nice to see you out of context . dr. caspary : you too . [ fanfare playing ] [ applause ] caroline : good afternoon , and welcome to the first los angeles fundraiser for the caroline spencer cancer research foundation . i am so grateful for your support . i 'll start out by thanking you all for coming out and showing your support for cancer research with your time and with your money , because believe me , my goal today is to separate you from as much of it as possible . [ laughter ] caroline : every single one of us in this room know someone who has fought that battle , like the co - founder of forrester creations , stephanie forrester , who recently lost her battle to cancer , and like my aunt , caroline spencer . she was strong , and she was brave , and she was beautiful . she was a remarkable woman . working was her life , and she had finally found where she belonged here with the forresters and with ridge , the man that she loved . they should have had time ... years and years of happiness . they should have had children . they should have grown old together . but ... cancer struck and cut that time short . i never got the privilege of meeting my aunt , but ... i carry her name with pride , and it is in her name that i fight this battle against this killer . [ soft music playing ] caroline : the caroline spencer cancer foundation was formed with one goal in mind -- finding a cure . caroline spencer - forrester was a brave woman . cancer took her from her loved ones much too early , but the foundation passionately carries on in the battle she lost . our commitment to this cause has already helped thousands of lives all over the world . it is our mission to continue fighting this horrible disease in honor of caroline . [ applause ] caroline : we need to know more . that being said [ sniffles , clears throat ] there are auction tables in the hall , um , offering everything from facials to a five - star trip to europe , so i urge you to please find something that you love and bid on it because every penny counts . now , please go and enjoy yourselves . thank you so much . [ applause ] maya : hey , caroline . i was really moved by your speech . you 're doing a good thing here . caroline : thank you . and , um , thank you for coming . but do n't feel like you have to stick around . i mean , rick 's unavailable . we have plans tonight . maya : if it 's all the same to you , i think i 'll hang out . would n't want to miss that fashion show . [ scene_break ] katie : i 'm telling you , your son is already a heartbreaker . bill : what makes you say so ? katie : mm - hmm . he flirts . bill : what do you mean , he flirts ? katie : oh , yeah . he does . bill : he 's a baby . katie : i can tell . a woman comes in the room who 's not his mother , and all of a sudden , he 's smiling and all goo - goo - eyed . and sure enough , they melt . bill : that 's my boy . katie : how did i know you would approve ? bill : you know , he blows my mind . katie : he really is a miracle , is n't he ? bill : yeah . something i never thought i would experience . katie : ever miss the old days ? bill : not for a moment .

[ chuckles ] [ cheers and applause ] caroline : i did it . it 's my first l.a. fundraiser . rick : you certainly did . [ scene_break ] bill : katie , um ... you know , you have done a lot of apologizing . and now it 's -- it 's my turn . do n't hang a halo on me . i 've been frustrated . i should have been more sensitive to what you were going through . katie : i - i never felt that . bill : i just want you to know how sorry -- katie : no . do n't . do n't . bill : i 'm gon na do better . i 'm gon na be the best husband and father that i can be . because you and will and this family that we 've created ... nothing is more important . and i never want to lose it . katie : you never will . [ scene_break ] [ indistinct conversations ] dr. caspary : brooke . brooke : that was fun , was n't it ? dr. caspary : yes . brooke : [ laughs ] dr. caspary : um ... i need to speak to you . brooke : is something wrong ? dr. caspary : i 'm not sure how to tell you this . brooke : what ? you 're scaring me , dr. caspary . dr. caspary : i got a call from the hospital lab about your results . brooke : okay . about my blood tests . dr. caspary : yes . brooke : [ sighs ] so , is it menopause ? dr. caspary : no , brooke . you 're pregnant . brooke : [ sighs ] oh , god . [ sobs ]	donna tells brooke that brooke has never been good at denying herself to handsome , sexy men . brooke quips that she will have to learn . bill takes katie to lunch at the rooftop and she remarks that it is n't everyday that her titan husband springs for a whole day with his wife . he says she deserves it . she apologizes again for being so judgmental about him and says she is going to have so much fun making it up to him . he says he is not perfect , but he appreciates the sentiment . he feels katie has spent a lot of time apologizing and now it 's his turn . he says do n't hang a halo on him just yet . he was frustrated yet he should have been more sensitive of what she was going through . he 's sorry and he wants her to know that he will do better . he 's going to be the best father and husband that he can be . nothing is more important than this family she has created and he never wants to lose it . she says he wo n't .
ridge : so , what do you say , flo ? you want to join us ? brooke : it would make me very happy to have storm 's daughter here . hope : it 's a family business , so you 'll fit right in . shauna : think about it . no more working for tips . flo : mom , please . hope : just know that it would mean so much to me -- i mean , to all of the logan women , if you accept the offer . will you do it ? will you work here at forrester creations ? thomas : hey , stef . no need to call back . i was just checking in . um , i 'm glad that , uh , liam was able to make it over there to paris . you guys can all be together . oh , hey , while i 'm thinking about it , why do n't you send a picture ? it 'd be nice to have a picture of the four of you -- you know , you , the girls , liam . anyway , uh , be well . au revoir ! douglas : hi , dad . thomas : hey , bud ! you got your crayons ? douglas : yeah . still gon na draw together ? thomas : yeah , of course . no pressure to become a designer , but it 's never too early to hone those skills , right ? douglas : what 's your favorite color , again ? thomas : oh , uh , well , i guess that depends , you know , if we 're talking about couture versus casual , and fabric makes a difference , too , so ... douglas : cars . i want to draw a car for you . thomas : oh ! uh , go with black , then . but , you know what , um , why do n't we try something else first ? let 's draw a picture for hope . douglas : okay . what 's her favorite color ? thomas : for a car ? i do n't know . but maybe we try something else first , huh ? like something that shows her how much she means to you . douglas : something like ... a heart ? thomas : yeah ! that 's a great idea . let 's draw a heart for hope . hope : i know it might be difficult for you , working here in the same building as steffy , knowing that she 'll be bringing phoebe into the office , but ... now that you 're part of the family , phoebe is gon na be a part of your life regardless . so , in a way , you ca n't avoid it , and i 'm really hoping that you do n't let that scare you off because i -- i really do feel like you belong here . brooke : you do . you 're one of us , a logan . ridge : okay , but no one 's putting any pressure on you . if you want to take some time to think about it , you can . hope : yeah . shauna : oh , she doesn't . there is no way flo is gon na turn this down . i mean , it 's a dream come true . flo : i -- i mean , it is an incredible opportunity , and i 'm -- i 'm very thankful . but you 're right , it is a little bit daunting to know i have to come in and work with steffy every single day . when i signed those papers , i -- i thought that i was walking away from that little girl forever . i -- i thought i would just move back to vegas and never have to think about her again . hope : well , that 's because you knew you found her such a good home , right ? i mean , obviously . you gave birth to her . of course you think about her from time to time . flo : well , that 's -- that 's just the thing , i , um ... i just -- i just really misjudged the whole situation . because i do think about her . i think about her a lot . a lot more than i thought i would , and , um ... god , especially now that i know i 'm related to you and that i 'm a logan and that she 's gon na be a part of my extended family ... it kind of makes it hard to even , um , think about staying in l.a. , let alone taking this job . but , um , my mom is right . i ca n't , uh -- i ca n't let this opportunity get away from me , so ... i 'm gon na do my best to try to put the past behind me , and , um , embrace my future and ... take this incredible opportunity . hope : does that mean -- is that a yes ? flo : yes . hope : [ giggles ] flo : mom , you were right . you always said that dreams can come true . i -- i would be thrilled to work here . hope : [ squeals ] yay ! well , that makes me so happy . trust me , flo , you will never , ever regret this . yay ! what patients do n't realize is thomas : cool picture ! douglas : thanks . hope it works . thomas : `` works ? `` what do you mean ? douglas : making hope happy . i do n't want her to be sad anymore . thomas : yeah , i -- i do n't , either . but , you know , i 've been thinking a lot about when we got back to l.a. something you said . do you remember what that was ? douglas : i wanted mac - and - cheese ? thomas : [ chuckles ] no . after that . douglas : you mean when i asked her to be my mommy ? thomas : yeah . yeah , i was thinking maybe you 're onto something . maybe she could be that for you . douglas : but how ? she 's not my mommy . thomas : well , not yet , but maybe she could be someday . how awesome would that be ? douglas : would she want to ? thomas : maybe if we treat her right , you know , show her how much we like her , how much we love her . you should tell her . douglas : that i love her ? thomas : you do , right ? douglas : sure . thomas : well , then tell her ! she needs to hear that . she needs to know how much we care about her . douglas : this picture will show her . thomas : yes , it will . you did a great job . douglas : can i have a snack ? thomas : oh ! got yourself a little hungry from doing all that coloring ? okay , well , um , you know what , i think i saw brooke filling the cookie jar last night . why do n't you go grab one ? thomas : hey , pam . it 's thomas . yeah , um ... yeah , is hope still in that meeting ? great , and she 's -- she 's coming home right after . awesome . yeah , no , that 's -- that 's all i needed . all right , thank you . bye . and thank you , douglas . thank you very much . shauna : by the way , happy birthday ! flo : shh ! shauna : i could n't think of a better present than this . flo : mom , please , i do n't -- i do n't want everybody to know . hope : wait . is it your birthday ? shauna : yeah , today 's her birthday ! hope : oh , my gosh ! flo : i did n't want to bring it up . no , it 's -- it 's not a big deal . shauna : well , honey , they 're family . they 're gon na want to celebrate you , right ? hope : definitely ! oh , my gosh ! happy birthday ! brooke : happy birthday ! ridge : you know what that means -- that means a cake . i 'm gon na tell pam and charlie . what kind of cake do you want ? flo : no . no , no . i do n't want any cake . do n't bother . shauna : honey , if they want to make a fuss , let them make a fuss . flo : i do n't need any cake . this is seriously the -- this is the best birthday ever . the job really is enough . i mean it . hope : well , this is like a new beginning for all of us , and now that you 're team logan , i mean , you 're kind of stuck with us . brooke : well , it is true . the logans are notorious for sticking together . so do n't worry the past , and do n't worry about the time that we 've lost together . we have you now , and that makes us very happy . hope : i guess what we 're trying to say is we love you and we 're grateful to have you as a part of our lives . flo : i love you all , too . i do . this is really the most amazing thing that could happen to me . i just , um ... i still just kind of think i do n't really deserve it . hope : yes , you do . you 're uncle storm 's daughter . i mean , how can you possibly question your place in the family ? pyou deserve this . you deserve all of this and more . okay ?

[ groans ] i forgot . i was supposed to meet you downstairs . i 'm so sorry . it 's okay . it 's family stuff , so ... shauna : that is the most beautiful thing i 've ever seen . ridge : well , i think you have a fan . brooke : as beautiful as pearl is , i think that shauna was talking about the gown . ridge : ah . shauna : is that one of your designs ? ridge : yes . shauna : oh ! you know , we sell dresses at the boutique i work at , but they 're definitely not as pretty as this . ridge : that 's -- yeah . now , this is not quite there yet , but , um , i 'm gon na see you downstairs for alterations . okay . ridge : i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . i will be there . sounds good . ridge : goodbye . [ sighs ] shauna : uh , you know what , can you excuse me for a minute ? i am going to make a quick phone call . ridge : your mom , she 's very kind . flo : kind , yes . subtle , not really . ridge : no . flo : i think she 's just a little infatuated with all of this . i hope she did n't make you guys feel uncomfortable , or anything . ridge : not at all . flo : okay . wow , i just , um ... i ca n't believe i 'm here . i ca n't believe i 'm working here now . this is so overwhelming . brooke : you 'll be fine . flo : i mean , there must be people i need to meet and things i need to learn before i actually start , right ? brooke : hope will help you . she 'll help you get acclimated . but probably not till tomorrow because i have a feeling she 's gon na spend the rest of the afternoon with douglas . ridge : mm . flo : i 'm so sorry about that , again . ridge : yeah , it 's , uh -- it 's tragic . but we 're all pulling together for the little kid . brooke : yeah , we are . and hope 's really stepped up . she really wants to be there for him and help him get through this . but how ? i mean , how do you ever really replace a mother ? hope : douglas ? douglas , are you here ? thomas : oh ! hey ! hope : uh , hi . thomas : i did n't realize anybody would be home . i just got out of the shower . hope : yeah , i -- i just -- i promised douglas some one - on - one time , and , plus , i 'm in some desperate need of `` go fish ! `` thomas : oh , well , you 'll have to settle for me as an opponent , then . maya took him and lizzie to the park . hope : oh . okay , i 'm -- i 'm not having that . i see what maya 's trying to do here . yeah . replace me as douglas ' favorite . thomas : oh ! yeah , you -- you better give her a piece of your mind when she gets back . hope : well , you know what , i 'll forgive her just this once , but that 's only because i 'm in such a good mood . thomas : oh , yeah ? why ? hope : flo accepted the job . thomas : oh , yeah ? that 's great ! i ca n't wait to meet her . hope : yeah , i just -- i really think you 'll like her . you know , she 's really sweet and genuine . thomas : oh , well , i 'm sure i 'm gon na like her . she gave my sister that amazing gift , that beautiful little girl . i think the whole family 's gon na like her . hope : uh , what 's that ? thomas : oh , uh , proof that you 'll always be douglas ' favorite . hope : [ gasps ] thomas : yeah , he -- he drew this for you . hope : aww ! thomas : [ chuckles ] yeah , he ca n't really express himself with words , but give him a crayon , a piece of paper . you 'll see exactly what he 's thinking . hope : yeah . i can see that . well , i 'll put it with the other one . thomas : do you understand how special you are ? the way you 've been there for him . the way you put children first ? [ cellphone chimes ] and , um , not just douglas . but these little girls . steffy 's daughters , liam 's daughters . your instincts were spot - on when you told him to go to paris . that 's where he needed to be . brooke : fulton , yes . perfect . i 'll tell her . see you tomorrow . that was the head of our security , and he 's making up an i d badge for you so you can have that first thing in the morning . not that we wear the i d badges , because we do n't , but we just want charlie to feel important . flo : [ chuckles ] brooke : certain things we do around here to make people feel happy , like eating pam 's lemon bars . [ laughs ] anyway , i have to run to a meeting , and i 'm probably giving you too much information . so i 'll let hope catch up with you tomorrow . and , in the meantime , just enjoy yourself and hang out a little while . flo : thank you . brooke : i 'm really happy that you 're here . flo : i 'm really happy to be here . aunt brooke . i have an aunt . i have multiple aunts . oh , my god , this is all so crazy . i have a job at forrester creations . shauna : ta - da ! flo : mom , what are you doing ? where did you get that ? shauna : i am going to the ball wearing this beautiful dress designed by the gorgeous ridge forrester ! flo : you are too much ! shauna : are n't i beautiful ? flo : you look amazing . shauna : thank you . flo : you know , now that i work here , maybe i 'll get to wear dresses like this all the time . shauna : oh ! flo : maybe we both will . finally be going to the ball . no more fantasizing . we 're finally gon na be able to walk the red carpet , all because of this amazing job . shauna : it 's because of your new family , honey . and good things happen to good people . i am so happy for you with all of this . thomas : you 've known it all along . that 's why you told liam to go to paris . to be with steffy and these girls . hope : well , i do want that for kelly and phoebe . two parents in the same home , raising them together . thomas : and they can have it , too , a family . you can , too . you wo n't be alone . you 'll have douglas and me . we 'll heal together . this picture ? it says it all . as do douglas ' drawings . hope : what -- what are you trying to say ? thomas : three little kids have a chance at something better than what they 've got now if the adults in their lives could just figure out how to give them the families they need . they need to step up and do the right thing , like you did when you took off your ring and you told liam to go be with steffy . there 's a reason you did that . you knew it was best for those girls . it can still happen . the four of them could be together if you 're strong enough to let him go , and you can be because i 'm here . douglas and i are both here . you wo n't be alone . you 'll never be alone again . you 'll have a child . a little boy who needs a mother . hope : i understand that you and caroline had an agreement , you know , co- parenting douglas without getting involved , but ... i do n't think that 's something i could ever do . thomas : i 'm not asking you to . we fell for each other once . we can again . there 's life after liam . let him go . let him be with his daughters , with steffy , where he belongs . we can move on , okay ? we 'll move on together . . . .	shauna tells flo to think about it . all the forresters and logans want her to join . hope more than the others keep saying they will look forward so much for her to come be with them . ridge says she does not have to answer now . shauna says there is no way she will pass up this opportunity . flo says she will try to put the past behind her and embrace her future and she will accept this wonderful opportunity . hope takes her hands and hugs her and says she will never regret this . a moment later she hears shauna say it is flo 's birthday so they all join in that they have to get a cake and celebrate . flo assures them she does not need a cake . this already is the best birthday she has ever had . hope says they can stay and celebrate but she needs to go as she promised douglas she would come straight home and meet him . actually thomas has already called pam to make sure hope will be there on time . thomas calls paris and leaves a voicemail for steffy . he ends with saying to please send a picture with liam with the girls ; would be nice to have that to show douglas . douglas comes in with crayons and wants to draw . thomas convinces him it would be nice to draw something for hope that shows how much he loves her .. and they settle on a heart . thomas even teases that they need to tell her how much they love her and who knows someday maybe she could be douglas ' mom .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : taylor , you were the most compassionate person i ever knew in my entire life . so i think if anyone could understand why ridge would do something like this , it would be you . and you would be the only person that would probably forgive him for doing it . and if it were anyone else but you , he would 've had more sense . it 's just -- he 's so convinced that he 's seen you . i mean , it 's -- i guess it 's just brought back a lot of memories . he 's missed you . and he 's loved you . i think that 's why he 's done this thing tonight . i think that 's why he 's done this terrible thing . the truth is , i think he 's still in love with her .

[ scene_break ] aggie : so what kind of tests is bridget having done ? nick : uh , these , uh , c.v.s . tests -- chromosomal abnormalities . it 's just a precaution . aggie : well , i think you should -- should be there . nick : she did n't want me to go with her . aggie : mm , i 'm pretty sure she 'd want you there . i think you should just go and surprise her . nick : no , no . she does n't want me there holding her hand , which is fine with me , but i will have a front row seat to the ultrasound . i love those . aggie : was it me , nick , or did owen seem kind of out of it just now ? nick : yeah , i noticed that , too . it 's probably my fault . aggie : why ? nick : well , all the talk about bridget having the baby -- it might be a problem for him . aggie : what do you mean ? nick : because owen wants to have children so badly . aggie : owen ? nick : oh , yeah . yeah , big - time . aggie : i had no idea . nick : oh , no . that 's why bridget and i originally stared thinking about a surrogate , because owen and my mother , you know , they were thinking of having a family together . aggie : jackie was n't into it ? nick : no , no , i ... i think she 's grown accustom to her lifestyle , which is sleep and money and cocktails and adult conversation , and i do n't think a child fit in . aggie : ( chuckles ) nick : which is probably too bad . owen would make a great father . [ scene_break ] ( cell phone rings ) bridget : hello ? owen : hey , it 's me . i ca n't stand waiting anymore . did you get the results ? bridget : uh , meet me at my place , and i 'll explain everything . owen : so you know ? you know who the father is ? bridget : um , i 'll , uh , i 'll tell you when you ... when you get to my house . um , i 'll call you to let you know it 's safe for you to come by , okay ? ( phone hangs up ) jackie : that was my husband . bridget : yes , it was . nick is working tonight , late . i 'll call owen when i get home and explain everything , and then i will tell nick . everyone 's gon na know tonight . i 'm gon na tell everyone the truth . jackie : the truth ? bridget : yes . no more secrets . no more lies . you do n't have to tell me , jackie . i know what needs to be done . i 'm gon na find a way to be honest with nick . i have to tell my husband that i 'm pregnant with owen 's child . jackie : no . no . you 're not going to do that . this is nick 's child . bridget : i do n't understand . jackie : nicky is the father of this baby . do you understand me ? bridget : you 're not really making much sense . no . jackie : yes , yes , yes . i 'm making perfect sense . my son finally has the life i 've always wanted for him . he 's the man that i always dreamt that he could be . he is finally happy , and i 'm not gon na let you ruin that . nicky is the father of this baby , not owen . am i clear ? bridget : jackie -- jackie : am i clear ? ! bridget : i ca n't lie anymore . i ca n't do it . it 's just eating me up inside . i ca n't . jackie : well , i do n't ... ( quietly ) care about that . bridget : please , please , please , i will do anything else . do n't ask me to do this . i ca n't live this way anymore . i ca n't do it . jackie : ( normal voice ) do you even comprehend what would happen if the truth comes out ? do you ? bridget : ( breathing heavily ) jackie : you will lose nick . i will lose owen . we will lose everything . everything . you betrayed me , bridget . well , now you 're gon na fix it . [ scene_break ] aggie : well , i 've taken up enough of your time . nick : hey , hey , hey , hey . nick : you okay with all of this ? aggie : i -- do n't be silly . of course . yeah . nick : 'cause , you know , if circumstances were different , then ... aggie : i want you and bridget to have a baby together . that 's why i came into your lives . if that 's happening for you now , i could n't be more pleased . all i want is your happiness . you deserve it . [ scene_break ] jackie : i just hope that the day does n't come when you say , `` i 've missed my chance to be a father . `` owen : look it , i missed my chance to be a rock star . i missed my chance to be a professional surfer . jackie : ( chuckles ) owen : i could have done a thousand other things that i did n't do . you 're born with a head full of dreams and only one life , so you got to choose , and i choose you . [ scene_break ] jackie : you know how much owen wants to be a father . if he found out the truth , he 'd want to be with you . bridget : you have no reason to feel that way . jackie : he 's not a part - time father . he would n't settle for seeing his child every other weekend . he 'd leave me . he 'd pursue you . bridget : you are not hearing me . owen is not interested in me . i am not interested in him . you have nothing to worry about . jackie : ( sighs ) bridget : i would be the one that was alone . jackie : this child may not even be born . bridget : you do n't have to say that . jackie : you 're really willing to risk losing both of our marriages on the chance that you may deliver this child ? bridget : do n't you think that owen has a right to know ? and nick ? i ca n't lie to him anymore . it 's just not right . jackie : yeah ? well , there 's a lot not right here , bridget . sometimes a woman has to keep a secret , like i did for all those years keeping the truth about nick 's real father from him , and now you are going to do exactly the same . bridget : ( sniffles ) the truth came out eventually . jackie : not this time ... unless you want it to , unless there 's something that you 're not telling me . are you in love with my husband ? bridget : no . ( sobbing ) no , jackie , no . my god , it was just one awful moment . it was just him , and it was comfort . i ... ( inhales sharply ) wish i could take it back . if i could do anything , i would erase it . jackie : yeah ? bridget : ( sighs ) jackie : well , life does not work that way . bridget : ( sighs ) jackie : sometimes , we have to just make the best of the hand that we are dealt , and in this case , it is a bloody lousy one . this was n't some foolish little indiscretion , bridget . bridget : i ca n't explain it . i really ca n't . i just lost my mind . i was out of control . and i 'm so sorry . it just happened . jackie : yeah , well , that does n't excuse what you did . bridget : i know it 's inexcusable . i know that . ( sighs ) god , i do n't ... i do n't even know that i 'm capable of doing this , keeping a secret . jackie : you have to . you could n't possibly want to hurt nick that much , not if you truly love him . unless , of course , you 're just covering up some inner desire for owen . bridget : i 'm not . jackie : and he 's given you absolutely no indication that he has feelings for you ? bridget : no . jackie : ( whispers ) then you 'll do as i ask . ( normal voice ) and i want to be here when you tell owen that nick is the father , because i have to be sure . bridget : what ? jackie : i 'm going to be here . i - i 'll be hiding , of course . he wo n't know that i 'm here , but i want to see his reaction . i want to know how he feels about you , and i want to know how he feels about me , and then i 'll know if my marriage is worth fighting for . bridget : jackie , what are you asking me to do ? jackie : you will lie for me . you will lie for our marriages , because i am not willing to lose my husband and my son 's sanity because of you . jackie : whose child is it ? bridget : ( whispers ) it 's nick 's . jackie : again . mean it . bridget : it 's nick 's baby . it 's nick 's . jackie : ( sighs ) that 's right . it 's nick 's . it 's not owen 's . it 's nick 's . you believe it . you live it . and you take this secret to your grave .	dr. caspary checks with bridget first to be sure she is ready for the answer of paternity . bridget looks at jackie who says yes , they need to know . bridget says that she is ready to handle this . still she is devastated when dr. caspary tells her that there is no mistake , the baby is owen 's . bridget tells jackie that everything changes now . she does n't think nick will forgive her . she will be alone . she is sorry she is ruining everything and doing this to jackie . she loves and respects her and to know that she hurt her just kills her . she hates what she has done and wishes she could make up for it . jackie says she can ; just do exactly what she tells her . aggie is shocked when nick confides in her about bridget expecting a baby . he wants her to share in the joy . he gloats to her and owen that he ca n't wait to be a father again . aggie tells him that she is okay with this . it was meant to be and all she wants is for him to be happy . he deserves that .
steffy : you 're free . ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] brooke : are you doing all right , honey ? hope : mm - hmm . brooke : well , you still have n't told me why you left aspen without liam . hope : i ... ( sighs ) i 'm sure you have a million questions right now , but i - i think i 'd rather talk to dr. barton first . brooke : ( sighs ) it 's good that stacy could fit you in . hope : let me guess -- you two have already talked about this ? ( sighs ) brooke : after what you told me , how the press kept coming after you in aspen , i was a little concerned , so i did talk to dr. barton , and she tried giving you call . unfortunately , it kept going through to your voicemail . hope : yeah , well , you were right . it was ... ( sighs ) too much . i did something really stupid , and steffy paid the price ... liam , too . it really was a wake - up call . [ scene_break ] bill : why am i just hearing about this now ? ramona : steffy 's fine . she 's already been released from the hospital . bill : well , that 's the good news . the bad news is , from what you tell me , she 's suspicious as hell . ramona : steffy 's perceptive . she sensed you were behind the press going after hope . bill : which you denied . ramona : of course . bill : where 's my son ? ramona : he insisted on taking steffy back to the spencer compound to recover after she was released . bill : and what about hope ? ramona : oh , hope 's fine . she was n't injured . bill : she probably would n't have felt it if she had been . ramona : i do n't follow . bill : you do n't need to . ( sighs ) hope was probably high as a kite when she plowed into steffy . [ scene_break ] steffy : never let it be said i 'm not full of surprises . liam : ( sighs ) steffy , why not sign the annulment papers now ? steffy : liam , things have spun totally out of control . we got hope being chased by the press like a -- like a virgin witch hunt , you pulling out your hair trying to juggle a blond and a brunette -- both whack jobs , as far as i 'm concerned . and me ... i keep winding up in a hospital -- first cabo and now a sprained knee , not to mention a toboggan ride from hell . you know , at this rate , these vacations , they 're gon na kill me . so it 's -- it 's got ta end ... somewhere . why not here where it all began ? [ scene_break ] dr. barton : ( sighs ) brooke : i 'm gon na leave no so you both can talk privately . hope : oh , you know what ? will you stay , actually ? i mean , if that 's okay with you . i just -- i just feel like both of you need to know everything that happened . dr. barton : very well . so ... ( sighs ) i understand from your mother that things in aspen did n't go as you expected . hope : ( sighs ) brooke : hope and liam were staying at his father 's retreat . it 's very private , and they thought they 'd be able to get away from the paparazzi there . hope : yeah . dr. barton : and obviously , you were n't . hope : no . the paparazzi was always on my trail . it 's like they knew my every move before i even made it . ( scoffs ) i just wanted to be with liam . i just wanted to be alone with him , to reconnect with him . and i really thought that aspen was the answer . and it was ... just not the way i imagined . come for a smoke ? yeah . brooke : on the way in from the airport , you said something about steffy and liam paying the price . hope : ( sighs ) brooke : you never did really explain that . hope : i 'm really sorry steffy got hurt , and i 'm really sorry that i took that pill . dr. barton : what pill ? hope : i 'm sure my mom told you about the pills that i got online . ( sighs ) dr. barton : and i 'm sure i do n't have to tell you how dangerous that is to order medication online , especially without a prescription . hope : i know . dr. barton : all right . hope : i know . i was n't thinking . and i have n't been thinking for a long time . dr. barton : what have you been doing , hope ? hope : ( sighs ) running ... from ... the press , from my fans , from myself . ( sighs ) brooke : honey , none of that s your fault . hope : ( scoffs ) mom , i - i really love you for saying that . brooke : you 're not responsible for that -- hope : no , mom , i am responsible for the choices that i 've made . i never should have gone skiing after taking that pill . god , but there were -- there were paparazzi everywhere . they were all around bill 's house . they were taking pictures of me through the windows . brooke : oh , god . hope : ( sighs ) i should have called liam instead . i know that . but i was falling apart , and i did n't want them to see me like that . so i took the pill and then i stupidly went skiing once liam got home . dr. barton : without telling him you were medicated ? hope : yep . and that 's when i crashed into steffy and then just skied off without even making sure that she was okay . ( sighs ) who does that ? what kind of person does that ? i mean , i - i know that i have issues with steffy , but i never would have done something like that to her had i been myself , and that 's the thing . i - i 'm -- i 'm not myself . and that has to change . and it will starting right now . [ scene_break ] alison : i still do n't think you should do it . bill : ( sighs ) alison : if you call steffy to check on her , that could raise all sorts of questions . besides , ramona says she 's with liam , right ? that should make you happy . bill : i just want to make sure she 's really all right . alison : you can call the hospital there , speak to her doctor . bill : there are medical privacy rules . the doctor wo n't tell me squat . alison : why ? you 're family . bill : ( sighs ) alison : she 's still your daughter - in - law . bill : and she 's gon na stay that way if i have anything to do about it . alison : `` if `` ? you 're the one who orchestrated things in aspen , trying to prove hope does n't have the stuff to be mrs. liam spencer iii . bill : and where did you hear that ? alison : in this office from your very lips . bill : you want to rethink your answer ? alison : liam 's very lucky having such a protective , loving father . bill : better . [ scene_break ] steffy : enough people have been hurt , liam . liam : you , especially . steffy : the lengths i 've gone to to try to hold our marriage together -- it 's insane . it should n't be that hard . but i guess that 's what it does to you . it makes you crazy when you 've never really felt it before . i had good intentions fighting for our marriage , but it should n't be a fight . so you 're free , liam . our -- our marriage is over . but our wonderful memories ... long may they live . [ scene_break ] dr. barton : sounds like steffy 's accident was a clarifying moment for you . hope : she could have been seriously hurt because of me , because of the bad choices that i made . brooke : sweetheart , do n't do this to yourself . hope : no , mom , i 've -- i 've made things so much worse . i 've been insensitive . i left steffy on the slopes . thank god liam came down when he did . honestly , i 'm surprised that he 's even talking to me right now . brooke : he knows what you 've been going through . dr. barton : he knows you took another pill ? hope : i told him everything . dr. barton : how did he react ? hope : concerned about how out of control my life is . ( sighs ) dr. barton : `` out of control '' -- how did you feel about that ? hope : i feel like he 's right . i did a lot of soul - searching ... ( sighs ) on the plane ride back , and ... right now i feel like i 'm at a crossroads . you know , i - i 've got to find a way to reconcile my values and my principles with the way that i am living my life . is n't that what it all comes down to ? dr. barton : yeah . hope : ( sighs ) dr. barton : i mean , you 've been in conflict with yourself for quite some time now . you know , you 've made some choices , and they have n't worked for you . and now you seem ready to -- to make changes , you know ? that 's -- that sounds like you 've been doing a lot of thinking . i - i 'd really like to know what you 're thinking . i - i want to hear your conclusions . [ scene_break ] alison : i do n't get it . i 'm just trying to understand why you 're so intent on getting hope out of your son 's life . bill : i 'm not particularly concerned about whether you understand it or not . it 's not like i enjoy going behind my son 's back . alison : it could backfire . bill : well , that 's a risk i 'm willing to take if it means my son realizes how wrong hope is for him and how right steffy is . steffy 's good for him . she loves him . alison : enough to let him go ? [ scene_break ] steffy : it 's been a good time , you know , like one of those old - fashioned comedies ... ( sighs ) literally chasing after each other . liam : yeah . ( chuckles ) steffy : ( chuckles ) from aspen -- the whole gondola thing -- all the way to the tip of mexico -- that tv chase . what were we doing ? my bogus brain injury , now a bum knee . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : you know , if this goes on , i - i 'm going to hire a stunt double . i am .

( chuckles ) ( sniffles ) [ scene_break ] bill : i 've never bought in to that b.s . -- loving someone enough to let them go . if you love someone , you fight for them , period . steffy 's a fighter , and hope 's a ... basket case . i do n't think there 's a shrink in the world that can help that girl . she is what she is . [ scene_break ] dr. barton : oh , hope . ( sighs ) okay , i think what you 're going through is , uh ...

( sighs ) i think maybe i should move out until their divorce is final and liam and i are married . dr. barton : that 's a really hard decision , but for you , i think it 's a good decision . hope : i do n't know if i can do it . dr. barton : well , i think it 's something that you and liam need to assess together , okay ? hope : ( sniffles ) brooke : is that why he stayed behind in aspen ... hope : ( sniffles ) brooke : to give you some time to think without pressure ? or is there more to it ? hope : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : that was fun .

[ sighs ] what could i do ? i was just a kid . and he had this -- this ironclad hold on her heart . so many nights , i watched her cry . she tried to hide it , but she could n't hide it from me -- not this kid , anyway . i 'm pretty good at picking up , uh , on secrets . until you came along . maya : rick ... [ chuckles ] rick : no , i 'm serious . your integrity , your honesty -- i - i now finally have something to live for . i thought it was caroline , but ridge took her away from me . maya : he 's been taking from you your whole life . no more . he ca n't take me from you , rick . rick : and he 's not gon na take forrester away from me , because now i have everything . my whole life has been building up to this . ridge : and you 're positive about that ? you 're absolutely certain ? carter : yes . she admitted it . and only because i overheard her talking to nicole . she 's not the first transgender model . ridge : what ? no , of course she 's not . i know several . that 's not -- that 's not the point . [ sighs ] rick trusts her , and -- and he 's -- man , he 's gon na freak out when he finds out . carter : tell me about it . ridge : no , you tell me about it . you were engaged to her , right ? i - i -- and you did n't know this ? this ... must have been quite a shock . carter : yeah . yeah , i was -- i was thrown , that 's for sure . i 'm still ... wrapping my head around it , but ... maya 's a woman -- emotionally , psychologically , physically . she 's female . it just happens she arrived in a boy 's body . ridge : and rick does n't know ? carter : nobody knows except me , nicole , and now you . ridge : i do n't even know how he 's gon na react . oh , ricky boy . you 're in for the shock of your life . rick : i ca n't wait to get you up to that cabin . maya : never been to big bear . rick : well , not only is it beautiful , it 's far from l.a. and all the drama . maya : you 're sure we can get away ? rick : of course . i just have to clear the schedule . i mean , the pieces have to fall together . my dad 's this close to making my position permanent . the company 's stable , earnings are way up , and ridge is where he 's supposed to be -- in front of that drawing board and out of my hair . and ... i have you . and we 'll celebrate . and i know just how . you -- you are okay with this , right ? maya : yeah . of course i am . i just want to be everything that you need in a woman , rick . and i am . rick : yeah . brooke : rick has so much on his plate right now . eric : all the more reason for him to have a strong woman by his side . brooke : i do n't disagree , but marriage ? what we need to do is focus on ridge and convince him not to quit . eric : no , you 're right . you 're absolutely right . i do n't want him quitting the company . brooke : neither do i . eric : well , i 'll get him to reconsider . that 's all . i 'll talk to him . they -- they have to work together . we 'll sit down , and we 'll hash it out . he 's not leaving the company . brooke : so , you see my point , right ? eric : yes . brooke : rick really needs to get his priorities straight . and getting engaged is not one of them . he has way too much work to do . he certainly ca n't be planning a wedding . eric : no , no , he ca n't . there 's months to go before that , but i 'm not gon na discourage our son from getting engaged . he loves maya , and she 's 100 % committed to him . i ca n't see any reason to talk him out of proposing . carter : maya kept saying she 'll tell him if and when rick proposes , which can happen anytime now . nicole was trying to convince her not to . ridge : you know he 's gon na lose his mind over this , right ? carter : he 's not that stable to begin with . that 's why i had to tell you . you ca n't quit . rick leans on maya . she 's been propping him up ever since he took over . he depends on her . ridge : i know he does . i know . carter : can you even begin to imagine what this will do to him ? the fact that she did n't tell him , that she let him fall for her -- the guy 's head over heels . i 'm sure he bared his soul to her , but she did n't share everything . there is a very significant part of maya 's life she kept private , and he 's only going to find out after he proposes . ridge : he 's not gon na be able to function . carter : function ? [ chuckles ] the guy could have a full - blown nervous breakdown . and if this ends up in the tabloids , ridge ... he wo n't be able to fulfill his responsibilities as ceo . the company could break . that is why this is not the time to think about leaving . you have n't told anyone , have you ? ridge : yeah , i told my dad , brooke , you . carter : if word gets out , you know what could happen . ridge : lot of questions . carter : it 'll be a feeding frenzy . `` ridge forrester , the guy who gave this company its reputation , its head designer ? `` that will hit us hard . ridge : and then when maya 's story comes out , it 's -- carter : who knows ? once the thing starts unraveling , there may be no stopping it . ridge : okay . i 'll take it from here . carter : what are you gon na do ? ridge : what needs to be done . [ door closes ] brooke : it 's not going to be easy getting rick and ridge to see eye to eye . eric : no . it never has been . brooke : they have so much history . eric : a shame , really . they 're both so talented . can you imagine if they were both pulling together ? brooke : i 've imagined that for years . part of the reason they have n't is because of me . eric : no . do n't blame yourself . i 'm a big reason for this mess . brooke : i hate to see them at odds . eric : i try to be supportive of both of them , which has gotten me into trouble with both of them . brooke : if only they could -- maya : oh ! sorry . i left my notes in here . eric : maya , good . uh , you know , we were just talking about rick and ridge . maya : oh . what about them ? brooke : eric and i would like to see them working together again , and we know that you have influence over rick . eric : mm - hmm . maya : not over ridge . eric : rick values your input and -- and your honesty . you know , it would be a great service to the company if you could get ridge and rick onto the same page . do you agree ? maya : i do . yes . eric : he puts a lot of stock in -- in your opinion and in your honesty . maya : i know he does . eric : if you were to help him work out his differences with ridge , it would help the company immensely . maya : well , if i ever have the opportunity to do that , mr. forrester , i will . eric : but you do have the opportunity now . i mean , you are the only person that rick trusts implicitly . brooke : they 're brothers , maya , family . they should n't be arguing and competing . they should be looking out for each other . maya : i agree . [ door opens ] rick : handsome couple , are n't they ? ridge : yeah . you look very happy . rick : we were happy that day . heck , we 're happy a lot of the days . something tells me you 're not here to be looking at my pictures . ridge : so , um ... i was talking to carter . rick : uh - huh . something i should know about ? ridge : [ sighs ] it was n't about business . rick : disgusting , is n't it ? all these pictures of maya and me ? i know that 's what you 're thinking . but i 'm not gon na hide it , ridge . i 'm a happy man -- happier than i 've been in , well , my entire life . ridge : i can see that . rick : but you know , it was n't handed to me . i had to fight my way into this position . it 's not easy getting to run the family business . and despite what you think , i am succeeding . but i do know that it 's a team effort . you and caroline -- you 've done an amazing job . so has everyone else . and then there 's this one . [ chuckles ] you know , after amber and caroline , i did n't think i could feel this way about a woman . yeah , sure , she 's beautiful , she 's got a pretty smile , and she 's sexy , but there 's more to it than that . see , maya 's -- she 's given me something that 's immeasurable . she 's given me her loyalty , her honesty . she 's been up front with me , and that means more to me than anything , ridge . ridge : i 'm , um ... rick : what ? ridge : [ sighs ] rick : what is it ? ridge : you 're not gon na like what i have to say . uh , maya has n't been ... honest and open with you . rick : oh , please , ridge . ridge : she , uh -- she has n't been truthful , not about herself . maya 's not who you think she is .	ridge tells carter that he wants rick and maya out of here as much as anyone else , but this makes no sense and he does not believe it . carter is saying maya is transgender . carter says he heard maya herself and she admitted it . nicole knows too so this is the truth and they have been sworn to secrecy as she does not want rick to know . rick tells maya that big bear is so beautiful this time of year and they can celebrate he will find a reason if she needs one . she says he has been working so hard so she realizes he needs to get away . he tells her she is the one who is so elegant and has handled all the gossip and disgrace that she did not cause . his only obstacle is ridge . brooke and eric discuss rick proposing . she is a concerned mom and she wants him to be happy but he has not been divorced that long and this is happening so fast . eric says maya has had a tough life but that is no reason to reject her . brooke surely has seen the change in rick . maya has helped there . they compliment each other and she has changed rick from what he was before . she has been right by his side like others have not . he is on the fast track and he wants maya with him . he needs her . maya asks if rick is okay with leaving ridge alone here while they take their retreat . rick mouths again how ridge treated his mom when he was young and how many nights he saw his mom cry . he is pretty good on picking up on secrets until maya came along .but she has integrity and honesty so none of that with ridge bothers him now . his whole life has been building up to this and ridge is not going to take the company from him .
