[ scene_break ] hope : mm . liam : keep this up , we 'll never make it the airport . hope : can you believe it , our wedding ? liam : i know . i know . hope : ( squeals ) liam : are you sure you packed enough ? because i - i do n't know . hope : um , a bride has to plan for every contingency . liam : really ? hope : yes . liam : whatever happened to going with the flow ? hope : i can be spontaneous ... liam : oh ? hope : and unpredictable . ( sighs ) liam : you can ? hope : uh - huh . i went to your dad , and i tried to convince him that you 're not marrying such a horrible person , and if he let himself , he might actually like me . liam : ( clears throat ) um , how did that go ? hope : ( clears throat ) uh , let 's just say it 's enough right now that he 's just coming to the wedding . liam : baby steps , you know ? hope : mm - hmm , mm - hmm . i did something else unpredictable . liam : what ? hope : i went to steffy , and i asked her if she would stand up at the wedding along with my mom . liam : are you kidding me ? hope ...

( sighs ) we really should be getting to the airport . ridge : logan , it 's the forrester jet . i pay the pilot 's salary . i do n't think he 's gon na leave without us . brooke : i know . i do n't want hope wondering . ridge : if i 'm , uh , changing my mind about coming ? brooke : ( sighs ) look , you 're concerned for steffy . any father would be . you do n't want to see her hurting . but its hope and liam 's time right now . they 're moving into the next chapter of their lives , and soon steffy will , too . but hope and liam really need our support now . katie : they have mine -- always have , always will ... ( chuckles ) brooke : ( sighs ) katie : even though i wo n't be at the wedding . [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) are you upset that i asked steffy ? liam : well ... why did n't you come and talk to me first ? hope : you are upset . liam : no , i 'm not . i just -- i just ... do n't get it . hope : well , neither did she at first liam : well , yeah , can you blame her ? i mean , it 's kind of like rubbing salt on the wound . hope : oh , and see i was so afraid that she would see it that way , but i think once i explained it to her and i really told her that it was coming from my heart -- liam : you want peace in the family . hope : yeah . she says that she accepts our marriage , and she and i used to be so close . i - i just think that it would be the best wedding present ever if we could be that way again , at least try . liam : she could n't do it ? hope : i 'm still kind of hoping that something changes her mind , but i do n't know what that would be . [ scene_break ] bill : ( sighs ) steffy : it 's almost like you 're expecting something to happen . bill : why would n't i ? i mean , there 's a history here , right ? the logan women and weddings -- is n't there always some sort of last - minute histrionics ? steffy : well , i do n't intend to provide the fireworks for hope 's , so you can find somebody else . bill : will you please listen to me ? steffy : bill , this is so difficult for me . the thought of actually being on a plane with hope and liam , seeing the joy in hope 's eyes , actually standing there with a smile on my face ... bill : ( sighs ) steffy : just watching them pledge heir love to each other , it -- it 's too much . it 's too much . and if you ca n't understand that -- bill : i - i - i do understand it . but there 's no guarantee it 's going to turn out that way . i know it 's hard for you to see that right now . steffy : ( sighs ) bill : hope is not the right woman for liam you are . he does n't have much time to realize that , but , steffy , it ai n't over till it 's over , so do n't give up . do not give up . [ scene_break ] ridge : that was our driver . he 's putting the luggage in the car . katie : please , please , please give the happy couple my best . brooke : i will . they 're gon na miss you . you 've been their big supporter . katie : i know , unlike my husband . but i think he 's getting with the program . ridge : since when ? katie : since liam asked him to be best man . bill was very moved . i know this is bittersweet for you , too . ( sighs ) but i also know how much you love hope . ridge : i want steffy and hope to be very happy . katie : that 's what every parent wants for their children , even the ones who are n't here yet . ( chuckles ) brooke : ( chuckles ) ridge : katie , you take care . you take precious care , okay ? katie : i will . and keep an eye on my husband . i do n't think he 'll have a relapse , but with bill , you never know . [ scene_break ] bill : time is running out . steffy : it 's already run out . bill : you did a very selfless thing , letting liam go so he could honor his so- called commitment to hope . steffy : i am not selfless . i have never been selfless . ask anyone . bill : that is n't true . steffy : fine . fine . i am a saint . but i am not a masochist . standing up for hope when i 'm still in love with liam -- bill : would be excruciatingly difficult . steffy : ( sighs ) bill : but look what happened when you thought it was over for you and liam in aspen . you handed him those annulment papers , and what did he do ? he tore them up . he tossed them . he kissed you . steffy : oh , my god . bill , for god sake , please just let this go . bill : have you ? look me in the eye and tell me that you have completely given up on you and liam . steffy : liam and i are divorced . he is marrying hope . can you accept that ? bill : you know why i ca n't . steffy : i know you 're worried hope may disappoint your son again , and you want to save him from that . but i have disappointed liam , too . bill : there 's a difference , and the difference is that you have learned from it . hope never does . steffy : ( sighs ) bill : she is a train wreck , and she is going to saddle liam and that marriage with all of her emotional baggage , and believe me , there is a hell of a lot of it . my son has a very dynamic future ahead of him ... steffy : ( sighs ) bill : and it is not going be realized , because hope will drag him down with all of her drama . steffy : what , i 'm just supposed to show up , and i 'm just gon na end up with liam ? that does n't make any sense . bill : i just feel strongly that you should be there . steffy : in case of what , bill ? bill : in case the unexpected happens . and if it does , how are you going to feel if you 're here and liam is there and he needs you ? [ scene_break ] liam : wow . poor guy . talk about a workout . hope : what -- i did n't pack that much . liam : uh - huh . hope : i did n't . liam : mm - hmm . hope : plus , he 's being really sweet about it . liam : listen , i - i did n't say this before , but i 'm really impressed with you reaching out to steffy and trying to make things better between you two and the family . hope : well , i 'm still hoping it will happen . liam : i would n't count on it . hope : ( sighs ) liam : hey , mrs . soon - to - be spencer , we got a plane to catch . hope : mm - hmm . liam : you ready to do this or what ? hope : yes . yes . liam : all right . hope : okay . ( clears throat ) mm . liam : hope , what is it ? hope : nothing . i ... i 've just lived here for so long . you know , this is the only home i 've ever really known , and next time i walk through those doors , i 'll be married ...

( sighs ) puglia , italy , by way of genoa city , wisconsin . not exactly the most direct route , but -- bill : ca n't be helped . katie : what could n't be helped ? bill : hey , you . i was wondering if you were gon na see me off . katie : i 'm glad to see you have n't changed your mind . bill : ( chuckles ) well , he ca n't get hitched without a best man , right ? katie : mm - hmm . bill : liam 's counting on me . katie : and so is hope . i 'm so glad that you 're going to accept her as your daughter - in - law . i know it 's not gon na happen overnight , but going to the wedding ... ( sighs ) it just proves what i knew all along . bill : what 's that ? katie : when it comes to your family , especially liam , you 'll always come through . bill : ( sighs ) putting me on a pedestal , are n't you ? katie : oh , more like a little step stool , but it 's a start . bill : you two gon na be okay without me ? katie : yes , we 'll be fine for a few days . as for the wedding , it -- it really does mean a lot to me that you 're doing this . our two families are coming together , or they 're trying to . and it means so much , especially since we 're adding to our family . i just love you so much . bill : i love you , too , katie . ( sighs ) katie : mm . [ scene_break ] liam : think we should pop this sucker open or wait for the in - laws ? hope : um , you know what ? i 've got a better idea . ( laughs ) kyle : ( clears throat ) excuse me . hope : mm . h. hi , kyle . liam : hi . hope : sorry about that . we 're just ... liam : practicing for the wedding -- the part where the minister says `` kiss the bride `` and all that . kyle : we 're fueled and ready , and we 'll take off as soon as everybody 's on board . hope : um , i just talked to my mom , and she and ridge are on their way . kyle : steffy , too , right ? uh , her name was on the manifest as a possibility . liam : oh . hope : uh , you know what ? i -- yeah , i wanted that to work out , but unfortunately , i - i do n't think it will . brooke : oh , no , the flowers for -- for the ceremony -- hope : hey , mom . no , no , no . do n't worry about that . no . kyle was just asking if , uh , steffy was coming with us . ridge : why would he think that ? hope : because i asked her to . i asked steffy to stand up for me at our wedding .

( door closes ) bill : warden , how are we today ? i assume you 've done as i asked . warden : this is n't a good time , mr. spencer . i have a prison to run . bill : what 's the status on sharpe ? warden : i 'll say it again -- you 're asking the impossible . bill : meaning you 've done nothing since i was there ? that is very disappointing , warden . warden : look , leave me alone . leave sharpe alone . bill : i ca n't do that . i want sharpe released . you know the ropes to make it happen . warden : i do n't have time for this . bill : you hang up on me , it will be the biggest mistake of your life . you know how far my reach is . i can expose you faster than you can say `` adulterer . `` is that really what you want -- for the wife and the kiddies to see the details of your sordid and long affair with some hooker splashed all over every magazine and web site that i own ? you will lose everything -- your job , your wife , and the kids that you adore . what 's it gon na be , warden , fine , i 'll tell you . when we hang up , you are going to tell sharpe that i am on my way . then you 're gon na take the steps necessary to implement my plan exactly as i have laid it out . do you understand ? do you understand ? warden : yes , damn it . i understand . bill : ( sighs ) it 's the little things in life that make me smile spending the day with my niece . [ scene_break ] ridge : you invited steffy ? brooke : ( sighs ) hope : yeah , to be part of the wedding . you know , i was just really hoping that this would be a first step towards healing for all of us . but , you know , now i know that it was too soon . brooke : no . no , it 's okay . you did a lovely thing , sweetheart . hope : i just really want steffy to be okay . i - i really -- i want that for all of us . ridge : what did she say ? steffy : she said , `` thanks but no thanks . `` well , i did n't really say it quite like that , but -- ridge : sweetheart , what are you doing here ? steffy : everything 's all right . i , um ... i gave it a lot of thought , and , um ... ( sighs ) i know it 's -- it 's gon na be hard , but the healing has to start , and why not here , going to italy ? besides , it beats staying in l.a. , having to deal with the press asking me how i feel now that my ex - husband is marrying my ... ( sighs ) hope : your best friend ? too soon . i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . ( giggles ) steffy : you know what ? ( chuckles ) we do n't know what the future holds . the past few months , i -- if you ask me what i learned i think it was that . i suppose i just needed to be reminded . look , there 's just , um , one problem . hope : what ? steffy : i came straight here , and i did n't pack anything . hope : ( sighs ) steffy : do you really want me standing up for you in this ? liam : ( chuckles ) hope : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] bill : i do n't care if you have to break the sound barrier . get me to genoa city as fast as possible . alison : i know you wo n't like this question , but hope and liam are happy together . why mess with that , especially using hope 's dad against her ? bill : because he wo n't be happy for long , not like he was when he was married to steffy . she was his equal . she understood him , his needs , his ambitions , his aspirations . hope , on her best day , could n't match up . she will drag my son down , and i ca n't accept that . alison : so you 'll intervene somehow with this plan of yours , whatever it is . bill : this is my last shot , alison . and hope 's father is the key , the only weapon i 've got . my son 's future hinges on this lowlife -- deacon sharpe .

( glasses clink ) ridge : salute . brooke : salute . ( glasses clink ) hope : cheers . ( giggles ) ( glasses clinking ) brooke : cheers . | bill insists that he knows it is asking a lot of steffy , but until the minister says hope and liam are man and wife , then there is a chance for her . so she has to get on that plane and go to hope 's wedding . he begs her not to give up even though she says it is too soon , her emotions are too raw . she does not want to even ride on the same jet and see the happy look in their eyes much less see them at the wedding . hope also explains to liam that she just saw bill and she is trying to convince him that she is not that horrible of a person and perhaps in time he will accept her . she also tells him that she asked steffy to stand up along with her mother . liam is shocked and ca n't believe she did that . brooke says goodbye to katie and wishes she were going to italy but because of the pregnancy she understands why she ca n't go . liam and hope kiss before they head to the airport . she comments that the next time she walks through those doors that she will be married . |

[ sighs ] there 's still an attraction between them . deacon : yeah , on liam 's end . not just on liam 's end . quinn : they 're both mad at me , and i ca n't help that , but i am not going to let liam interfere in steffy 's marriage to wyatt . liam : unfortunately , being married to my brother means having quinn in your life . just -- do n't let her make any more trouble for you , okay ?

it 's not her fault that you messed up your relationship with wyatt . look , this happens to the best of us . babe , you got your heart broken and now you 're lashing out . quinn : i took care of liam . i waited on him hand and foot . i nursed him back to health . i told him things i 've never told anyone else . deacon : you thought you loved him . quinn : i did love him . i was ready to run away with him , do whatever he asked . not anymore . now i just want to -- deacon : you just want to what , quinn ?

ridge : it 's been settled . it 's not up for discussion . caroline : uncle bill . i love you . and i appreciate that you are concerned . i love that you always jump to defend me , but i promise you , you do not need to worry about me or douglas . bill : [ laughs ] brooke : keeping a secret is n't healthy for a family . you think it 's going to get easier but it never does . it 's always there in the back of your mind . thomas : this is n't your decision to make . this is between us . ridge : if it got out , i know what people like you would do with it , and i 'm not gon na let that happen . bill : people like me ? i 'll tell you about people like me . i had two sons in the world . i did n't know they existed . they had a father that they did n't know existed . we all suffered from it because you ca n't get that time back , thomas . and your father will agree with me . ridge : he 's not gon na find out about him . neither will rick . brooke : rick is thinking about leaving los angeles because of you . he does n't trust you . bill : i do n't trust you . caroline : well , it does n't matter . because i do . and ridge is my husband , and i am douglas ' mother . and he loves that little boy , and we are raising him together . and thomas will have a place in his life , but ridge and i are his parents . bill : you 're not his parents ! this is crazy ! caroline : we 're the ones that have been living with this , not you , and frankly , it 's none of your business . so , how dare either of you come in and try to threaten to take that away from us ? all we want is to be a family , and you know better than anyone else what a detriment to a family a scandal can be . do you know what they 're gon na do to that little boy ? do you know what they 're gon na say about him , about me , about thomas ? is that what you want ? bill : [ sighs ] caroline : you can not say anything . bill : i am telling you -- you do n't know what you 're doing ! caroline : i do ! i do . bill : against my better judgment ... all right . ridge : logan ?

wyatt : that 's not -- steffy : you did n't hear her . she was acting like a crazy ex - girlfriend . wyatt : did she leave when he asked her to ? steffy : yeah -- yes . wyatt : did she wait outside and act like a stalker like she normally does ? no . because she came over here to tell me that it 's through , it 's done ! because she heard him , steffy . whatever you and liam said to her , it must have made some kind of impression . steffy : well , it should have been clear to her the minute liam had her arrested . wyatt : [ scoffs ] steffy : the fact that liam had to tell quinn again just shows you how nuts she is . quinn : i have a right to be frustrated . deacon : yeah , as long as you do n't take it out on anyone . quinn : [ sighs ] i am a big girl . i have been let down by men before . deacon : present company excluded . quinn : you know what ? i could deal with the disappointment . what i 'm not gon na put up with is liam moving in on steffy . he 's turning her against me , and then he 's gon na turn her against wyatt , and he 's got to be stopped . you know what ?

[ scene_break ] massimo : you 're concerned about your mother . bridget : well , i 'm concerned about the whole family , especially those kids . please , please , do n't get me wrong , i 'm thrilled that taylor is alive . it 's just having her back in the house with ridge and the kids is already causing problems . and not just between ridge and my mother . the situation is going to affect many , many lives , in ways that we ca n't even imagine right now . massimo : like what it 's doing to you and dominick , hmm ? if it was n't for taylor , you would be married right now . bridget : we 're still getting married . i just do n't feel right celebrating when the whole family is in turmoil . i 'm hoping if i wait just a little bit longer -- massimo : for what , for what ? bridget , no matter how this situation with taylor is resolved , someone will be hurt . there 's gon na be a lot of tension in this family for a very long time . is that what you wan na be surrounded with on your wedding day ? listen to me , sweetheart . you stop thinking or worrying about what anyone else wants . you get married as soon as you can . [ scene_break ] taylor : nick should definitely not marry bridget right now . stephanie : what did he say ? taylor : well , i know you wanted me to try to persuade him to talk to brooke . stephanie : well , i thought -- i thought that he might be able to get her to step aside gracefully . taylor : he would n't even consider the possibility . stephanie : denial can be contagious . taylor : i think there 's more to it than that . he got really defensive every time we started talking about the children . stephanie : it was very difficult for him to step a side , even after he found out he was n't r.j. 's father . taylor : i 'll bet it was even more difficult for him to walk away from brooke . stephanie : he 's still in love with her . taylor : that 's my professional opinion . stephanie : that 's my greatest fear . taylor : which is sad for bridget , after all she 's been through with the men in her life . stephanie : jacqueline tried to warn her , she did . not a lot of good things you can say about that woman , but she does know her son . taylor : maybe if somebody close talked to bridget ? stephanie : well , that has to be nick . taylor : oh , he does n't want to be that guy . no , he does n't want to disappoint her . stephanie : well , he 's going to in the long run . once brooke is available , he 'll be over there just like that . bridget really needs to be prepared about this . taylor : well , let 's not get ahead of ourself . ridge has n't even made a decision yet . stephanie : eric thinks they 're going to elope , and if they do that , then it 'll be too late . i 'm gon na talk to bridget . i agree with you . i believe that nick is still in love with her mother , and if that 's the case , then bridget needs -- needs to know what she 's up against . [ scene_break ] nick : i am marrying bridget . brooke : and nothing can change that ? nick : no . brooke : even if something happens with ridge and me ? nick : nothing 's gon na happen to you and ridge . brooke : but if something did . nick : do n't think like that . brooke : i do n't want to . but i 'm not gon na let this affect bridget . i just would n't let that happen , nick . now , god forbid , if ridge does choose taylor , i 'm not gon na do anything to come between you and bridget . nick : i know that . look , maybe i -- i made the wrong choice in coming over here like this . brooke : no , no . nick : if i did , i 'm sorry . brooke : you just wanted me to know what was going on . nick : but nothing is going on . this is just stephanie and taylor blowing smoke . brooke : no , no , they are trying to undermine your engagement to bridget . nick : well , it 's not gon na work . brooke : well , i -- i do n't get it . i mean , what were they thinking ? they actually thought that they could badger you into having feelings that you do n't have ? is that why they lured you over there ? nick : no . stephanie thought that once i met taylor , that i would see you 're fighting a losing battle , and i 'd convince you to walk away . brooke : was she right ? i mean , now that you 've met the competition , do you think i should just throw in the towel ? [ scene_break ] bridget : i know why you want nick and me to hurry up and get married . massimo : mm - hmm . you should never , ever postpone happiness , my dear . bridget : and you ca n't wait to give us our wedding gift .

[ massimo laughs ] bridget : oh , my , i do n't know what to say . massimo : just say `` i do `` as soon as you can . listen to me , sweetheart . whenever love enters your life , you have to grab it . hold onto it with your hands . see , a number of years ago , i did n't do that . and so , i let love just slip through my fingers , and i never got a chance to raise my son . bridget : oh , but you got another chance with jackie and nick . massimo : well , yes . and now , i 'm giving you and dominick another chance to commit to each other . bridget : the very first time we talked about this , nick wanted to get married on a boat , but i wanted a big , family wedding . maybe this time , we 'll make his dream come true instead . [ scene_break ] brooke : nick , i want you to tell me if i have a chance against taylor . nick : my opinion of taylor does n't matter here . brooke : it matters to me ! nick : now , i have said this before . this is about you , forrester and taylor . everybody else should just stay out of it , including me . brooke : oh , my god . you do n't want to tell me . nick : i do n't need to tell you anything . you know your husband better than anyone . brooke : i 'm asking about taylor ! please , nick , be honest with me . nick : okay . i told her that i think forrester belongs with you , hope and r.j. but on the other hand , she does have her children to look out for . brooke : she made a good case . nick : well , it 's what she does . she 's a shrink . brooke : you were impressed by her . well , why would n't you be ? i mean , she is brilliant . she 's beautiful and intelligent and moral -- everything that stephanie says that i 'm not . nick : stop it , stop it . brooke : no , maybe she 's right . taylor is practically a saint . why would i even think that i could compete with that , nick ? she 's perfect . why would i think ridge would choose me over her ?

( inhales sharply ) ( exhales deeply ) the thought of walking back into that house , knowing rick could still be there , waiting to make another pitch , another grab for our daughter , i do n't know if i could do that . coming here 's been the best , real joy i 've felt in a long time . i know brooke does n't want to hurt me . she says she understands , but how can she ? she 's got her son . i ca n't go back there , doc . i 'm leaving . i have no other choice . i 'm moving out . | thomas catches steffy and rick kissing and tears into him . steffy explains that rick has changed and they are giving it a second try . it 's her life and she wants to spend it with rick . they do n't like it , but her mom and dad both know . there is nothing they can do about it and neither can thomas . ridge kisses taylor , but she puts a halt to it . it 's what she wants , but she is not sure that it is really him or the anti - anxiety medication she gave him . he explains that he feels like he can breathe again and he wants peace , something he can not get with brooke . this is right with taylor . he repeats his mantra again rick took phoebe away from them and now rick is doing the same with steffy . how could brooke support that ? brooke tells katie and donna that she had a fight with ridge and he walked out . steffy and rick are adults and should be able to do what they want , but ridge will never accept this . and now she finds out their marriage is not legal . she feels like she is on probation . |

( sighs ) it 's not what you think . i - i 'm not making excuses when i say i was n't myself . i ate these berries on the island that were hallucinogenic . dr. lewis knows what they were . and thomas told me not to . he said they 'd be poisonous . it would be better if they were . eric : you and thomas ? brooke : no . i - i have no recollection of it . eric : then how do you know what happened ? brooke : thomas remembers . i know . i know . `` sexual predator '' -- i 've had those words flung at me so many times through the years , i think i stopped hearing them . you were right all along , taylor ... and you , too , stephanie . you always taught me the way to heal myself is by healing others . i 'm going to keep the house , of course , and the children 's trust funds . i know there will be a penalty , but the 401 ( k ) will pay for our living expenses . and the rest i 'm putting into a private foundation . ridge : logan , wait a minute . what is this ? stephanie : wait a minute . you 've got three children here . taylor : you just ca n't stop grandstanding , can you , brooke ? brooke : i 'm not grandstanding . it 's a way to get my self - respect back , and there 's no better way than helping others who are struggling with their lives . that 's what i 'm going to do . that gives me purpose . ridge : what is this private foundation ? stephanie : wait a minute . if you do something like this , you ca n't even access your own money . brooke : no , i know . it does n't matter , stephanie . that 's not the point . but my lawyer made it all very simple , and he just asked me , what did i want to name the foundation ? and i told him i wanted to name it after ... someone who most inspired me . taylor : the stephanie forrester foundation . brooke : i want to do something that matters . ( sighs ) i want to do something like you 've done . i never felt more useful than the time when i was on the streets with you , working at the mission , at the shelter . i want to work with you again , stephanie . stephanie : no , it 's not possible . brooke : why ? stephanie : because it 's just not . besides , you do n't have any commitment to this sort of work . eric : well , you did n't either a year ago . stephanie : i wo n't have you piggybacking on what i 've accomplished , okay ? i 'm not gon na be party to some public spectacle of your penance . and i 'm not gon na be involved while you try and soften ridge up . i just do n't want to be part of any of that . brooke : no , no .

[ scene_break ] whip : so is that why you could n't make it work with my cousin or with bridget or with anyone , because of brooke ? nick : well , nautically speaking , whip , brooke and i have always been like ships passing in the night . jackie : ( scoffs ) who 's writing history now ? nick : yes , mother . she 's always gon na be in my life . it was true before jack was even born . ( sighs ) i do n't know . mother , you know . would you call us friends or ... i do n't know . you 've never been able to give a title to this relationship we 've had or have n't had . anyway ... it seems like the harder we tried to make things work , the more they did n't , so we stopped trying . things seem to work out fine now . so i guess the lesson here , when it comes to me and brooke , is just when you think something should be a certain way , it 's not . so ... i have no expectations and let life take its course . cheers . [ scene_break ] brooke : i 'm sorry for the pain that i caused to ridge and you , everybody . i 'm truly trying to make up for it . stephanie : ( laughs ) i think that 's what you think you 're doing . but you know , honey , the truth is , whatever evil people do or whatever good people do , they ca n't be undone . and people do n't change . they do n't change . you and i are proof of that . brooke : what about the people that work at dayzee 's , the people that you work with every single day ? look at them . look at how they 've changed their lives day by day . stephanie : yes , and at that place , there are some success stories , but most of it is failure and a lot of heartbreak . some of those people never get off the streets because of the drugs and the alcohol . brooke : this does not sound like the stephanie that i know . you devoted your life to this , and you 're saying that it does n't matter , that you do n't make a difference ? stephanie : all i 'm saying is its too late . we 've made our choices , brooke . we 've gotten what we wanted . and now we have to live with the consequences of that .

[ scene_break ] quinn : somebody 's feeling all high and mighty . liam : well , you know , i got the girl , you and wyatt are done for , so ... yeah , pretty much . quinn : this is all your fault . liam : excuse me ? how do you figure that ? quinn : you could n't just go away -- move to paris , be with steffy , find somebody new . no , you had to stay here , pining away for hope , persecuting wyatt every chance you got . she was happy . she moved on . stop getting in the way ! [ scene_break ] wyatt : you say these things , but i know you do n't mean them -- not by the way that you 're looking at me right now . hope : i was dating both of you , and you knew that it could go either way . wyatt : i knew that it was me and only me . i knew you 'd finally get liam out of your system . you still can . hope : i had to make a decision , wyatt , and i made the one that i can live with . wyatt : no . you 're settling . hope : no , that 's not what i 'm saying . wyatt : yeah . my mother made an insanely stupid mistake , unforgivable , but that does n't mean go running off with liam . do n't lump everything that i have done in the past with everything my mom has done . we are different people . hope : the past ? wyatt : yes . hope : wyatt , you just punched liam a couple hours ago . wyatt : i know , and i 'm sorry about that . i lashed out . but you should have heard the things that he was saying ! hope : and i 'm saying that i 've had enough ! wyatt : of me ? hope : of my ... reactions to you . wyatt : what are your reactions now ? and now ? do n't sacrifice everything that we have built because of a punch or because of my mother . hope : i 'm not . wyatt : i do n't believe you . hope : i was confused , okay ? liam had just let me down so many times . wyatt : and then i came along -- a different kind of guy , someone who only focused on you , someone who means what he says . what is it about me that scares you , huh ? it ca n't be a diamond . it ca n't be a punch or my mother . you love me . hope : yeah , i do . wyatt : okay . hope : but i can trust liam . wyatt : and not me ? because of my mother ? you know , i confided in you on that trip about us , about everything that we did to survive , to make ends meet . hope : sending ridge to stop my mother 's wedding has absolutely nothing to do with making ends meet . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i know it sounds like i 'm blaming you for things that your mother has done , but it 's more . it really is more than that . wyatt : what is it that you think that we have in common -- that we both make things happen ? yeah , but is that such a bad thing ? you 'd rather spend the rest of your life with a guy like liam , who writes fashion articles in between yoga classes and rescues puppies and , and saves kittens and -- hope : those are things that are important to me , wyatt ! those are things that i enjoy , and i 'm glad that i 'm with a man who thinks about something other than himself ! when i am with liam , i know exactly what i 'm gon na get . that 's what i want . that 's my future .

[ cell phone beeps ] and this was a total stranger ? liam : yeah . i mean , i do n't know . maybe he knew my last name was spencer , or ... i got to warn my brother . steffy : where did you find the reverend , anyway ? wyatt : why ? what 's wrong with him ? steffy : no , nothing . i just ... want to know where you found him . wyatt : i - i mean , i ... found him on the internet . steffy : what ? wait . wyatt : hmm ? what ? steffy : you -- you found a random reverend on the internet ? wyatt : he was not random ! he had 3 1/2-star reviews ! he was great ! and he had an honest face , right ? plus he was available on such short notice . steffy : [ scoffs ] wyatt : what ? lt . baker : mr. spencer , i do n't want to put words in your mouth , but do you think quinn fuller could have had anything to do with this ? liam : i mean ... yeah . that -- that was my first thought when i realized somebody was in the house , but ... no . no . quinn does her own dirty work . [ cell phone chimes ] lt . baker : well . liam : what ? lt . baker : we have a suspect in custody matching your description right now . liam : already ? you guys work fast . lt . baker : i do n't suppose your father could put that on the front page of one of his tabloids , could he ? liam : [ chuckles ] bill : betrayed you how , katie ? brooke : i ca n't have this conversation . katie : oh . suddenly you 're so delicate ? you know how . ridge trusted me . bill : did he really ? katie : yes . we were close once . he confided in me . bill : or did you pry the information about douglas ' paternity out of him ? katie : okay . fine . if i 'm honest , yes . it 's just that you and i -- we ... there was such a distance between us , and maybe i just wanted a connection to someone , to ... a man . i mean , it would be a lie to say that our relationship is the same now as it was before ... maybe i 'm foolish to think that we could ever go back . i 'm foolish to think i could ever forget . bill : why ? katie : because the two of you love each other . and you always will . and i have to accept that for my own sanity . bill : i think that 's best . katie : and i do accept it . and i understand it , and i can live with it ... [ cell phone rings ] steffy : hey , liam . i 'm putting you on speaker . liam : hey . are you guys okay down there ? steffy : yeah . why -- why would n't we be ? liam : i just had a break - in over here . wyatt and steffy : what ? ! wyatt : wait . was it my mom again ? liam : no . no . it was just some guy i 've never seen before . he got away , put the police say they just picked him up not too far from here , i guess . i have to go down to the station now and identify him . wyatt : okay . well , i 'm gon na meet you down there , all right ? liam : no . no . stop . do n't . i - it 's late . you guys are settled in . i just wanted to let you know . wyatt : shut up . i 'll meet you down there . steffy : okay . i 'm hanging up . he 's meeting you there . liam : [ sighs ] okay . thanks . wyatt : gon na head down there . you gon na be all right ? steffy : yeah . yeah . i 'm just glad everyone 's okay . wyatt : see you later . steffy : bye . bill : i am admittedly a little confused here , katie . what am i supposed to be getting from you ? katie : this chapter of our lives ... is over . [ sighs ] you do n't mind , right ? i stared into the bottle , and this time , it stared back , and i saw that ... i was engaged in a betrayal of my own . i was gon na drink tonight . i was gon na lie . i was gon na throw away everything that matters to me -- you and our son and our family and our marriage . this has been hard for me , but when you say that i 'm overreacting , you 're right . i 'm punishing you for things that you have n't done . i 'm saying things that i do n't mean . i know that -- that you both love me and that you want what 's best for me and that you want me to succeed , and i just want , more than anything , to live up to that . i know i have n't been easy to live with . and i 'm sorry . i need you to know how grateful i am that you have n't given up on me . never doubt that nothing means more to me ... than you and our son and our family . and you -- i 'm ... i 'm embarrassed about what i 've said to you , and i hope that you can forgive me , because ... i do love you so much . [ crying ] [ chuckles ] so that 's it . [ laughs ] i 'm gon na check on will , okay ? because he had a little cough before i put him down tonight , and he had a little fever , so i just want to check on him . i 'll be right back . brooke : she meant it , bill . liam : come on in . he 's just asking some questions . lt . baker : have a seat . wyatt : yeah ? lt . baker : so , did you see a weapon ? liam : did you guys find one on him ? lt . baker : i 'm the one asking questions now . wyatt : wait . the guy who broke in -- he was armed ? liam : not that i saw . i did n't say that . wyatt : my brother is obviously in shock right now . liam : no . i -- wyatt : but did you catch the prowler ? you caught him , right ? lt . baker : well , that remains to be seen . i 'm gon na set up for a lineup . liam : wait . i got to -- i got to pick him out of a lineup ? wyatt : you can do that , right ? liam : it was dark , but , sure , i think . probably . maybe . i mean , i 'd better . i do n't want to go through that again . wyatt : be preyed on and let a predator walk ? he 'll do more time if you say that he was armed . liam : honestly , i think he 's just embarrassed . wyatt : seriously ? liam : what ? wyatt : i love you , and you 're my brother , but some people do n't deserve your sympathy . liam : okay . wyatt : did he hurt you ? did he attack you ? liam : no . wyatt : okay . well , i think you should see a doctor anyway . liam : trust me . no . i am very , very unheroically fine . wyatt : rea -- serious -- fine . liam : are you upset with me or something ? wyatt : what ? liam : 'cause i called steffy ? wyatt : no ! we 're family , all right ? i want to be here to help you , okay ? i 'm here for you . liam : okay . thanks . [ door opens ] lt . baker : all right . we 're ready . line up in order beneath the numbers on the wall . number 1 , step forward . turn to the right . turn to the left . brooke : you heard what she said , bill . she 's getting wise to herself . bill : i do n't know what i just heard . i mean , it would be nice to believe , if i believed it . brooke : you saw it . she poured out that bottle . what do you need to hear from her that she did n't say ? bill : there are no magic words anymore . brooke : even if she 's telling you that you can have back the life that you always wanted ? bill : the life i want is with you . brooke : was . we did n't realize that , at the same time , something was going on inside of katie that was monumental . everything 's changed now . ca n't you see that ? bill : everything changes every week , brooke -- e - e - every day . i get whiplash trying to figure out how katie feels about me , how she feels about my drinking , her drinking , our marriage , you , and a thousand other things . as you just experienced , i never know what i 'm gon na walk in on . brooke : okay , yeah , she 's been unpredictable and irrational . but tonight it was different . and i know you felt it , too . bill : [ laughing ] no . no , listen . there was only one thing -- one thing -- she said that was new -- `` i know you two love each other , and i have to accept it . `` she made the connection between what we feel for each other and how miserable it makes her . now , tomorrow she could deny it , or she 'll remember the words but not the meaning . and then we 'll be at some other point on the axis between love and hate . well , no . no . i do n't want to wake up to that anymore . i want to wake up to you . i am having this conversation with katie tonight . brooke : [ sighs ] lt . baker : turn to the right . turn to the left . step back . mr. spencer , do you see the man that broke in to your house this evening ? yeah , 2 . it ' s number 2 . there 's no doubt . lt . baker : thank you , gentlemen . number 2 will have to stay . wyatt : [ clears throat ] lt . baker : your public defender will be here to speak with you before your bail hearing . rev . rydale : bless you . lt . baker : escort him to his seat . liam : hey . why me ? why 'd you pick me ? rev . rydale : nobody seemed to be living in the house for a very long time . clearly a bad decision all the way around . i think we can agree . hello , wyatt . wyatt : oh , my god . it is you . lt . baker : you know this man ? wyatt : he married steffy and me . he 's our minister . brooke : i 'm leaving . bill : walk out that door ... i 'll be at your house in an hour . brooke : no , you wo n't . bill : i 'll tell her everything . how could i not after what we just shared ? brooke : katie 's turned the corner . what you wanted to happen has happened . she 's remembering who she is and how much you love her , and she 's also made peace with the fact that you and i have feelings for each other that are n't going away . bill : it does n't matter now that i know the only peace i 'll have is with you . brooke : not every dream can come true . we tell our children that they can do anything , they can be anything , and then life makes liars out of us . we 'll still be in each other 's lives , just not the way that we were tonight . bill : i 'm leaving her . brooke : you wo n't . katie : i found what 's left . um ... yours and a few of mine . you can watch me pour them out if you want . i just -- i 'm glad to be done with all this . bill : i 'm glad , too , katie . but you have to understand that not everything broken can be mended . brooke : nothing is broken . the three of us are here in the same room , loving each other , forgiving each other , and connecting , as we always have . katie : no , bill 's right . we all have a lot of work to do . i mean , i - i 'm not the wife and the mother that i want to be , but i will be . i did say that ... we ca n't go back . but we can be better than we were . do n't you remember in our wedding vows when we said that we would n't make promises to each other because promises are too easily broken ? so i 'm not gon na make a promise . i 'm gon na give you proof ... because i love you . and i love you , too . no , no . just -- brooke , i - i need to say this . i have -- i have said horrible , ugly things to you , and -- and i 'm sorry , and i - i want to take them back . but you and i both know that sometimes you say something and ... it 's hard to take it back . so i 'll let you if you let me . [ chuckles softly ] brooke : [ chuckles softly ] katie : i know that you 've been loyal to me through all of this , and ... you 've let me vent and you 've let me rage , and i do n't want to squander that loyalty , 'cause it means so much to me . you mean so much to me . | bill listens as katie says she has been staring the bottle down all night . but even if she had it here , she resisted opening it . then when she opened it she did not have to drink it . her therapist told her to ride the wave but there have been times she felt crushed by it . detective baker gets more facts from liam and then calls in for an apb . meantime wyatt and steffy discuss their wedding and how he found a random minister to marry them . it was the quickest person he could find on short notice . baker tells liam they have a suspect right now . liam thinks that was fast . they will put him in a lineup right now for liam to look at . katie tells bill she will have to accept it . the two of them , bill and brooke , love each other and they always will . maybe she is being foolish to think they can go back to what they once had in their marriage . liam calls wyatt to tell him he is going to the station to identify a break - in guy . it 's not quinn so wyatt is happy to hear that . he tells liam he will meet him at the station . katie tells bill and brooke that she is punishing them for things they have not done . she knows they only want to help her and tonight she was ready to pitch it all him , will , their family . she is embarrassed for what she said to brooke and needs her forgiveness . she loves her so much . but she is so grateful that bill has not given up on her through all of this . she goes to check on will . |
flo : [ breathing heavily ] thomas : no . i do n't believe it . flo : you said you thought i was hiding something from hope , and i was . you -- you were right , thomas . i just ... i just did n't think i could say it . thomas : it does n't make sense . beth -- beth was stillborn . flo : no , she wasn't . hope 's little girl is alive . beth is alive . hope : losing beth will affect me for the rest of my life , but -- i do n't know -- maybe i could have dealt with the grief . it 's just the guilt that i could n't get over . brooke : was annulling your marriage really the answer , honey ? hope : for the sake of the children , i had to do it . and liam finally agreed . he signed the papers , and ... as soon as carter files them , we can all move forward with our lives . brooke : i 'm so sorry . hope : it 's for the best . liam needs to be a full - time father to those girls . and our marriage , the life we had planned together ... ended that night on catalina . and today ... we put it to rest . zoe : i ca n't believe you told hope and liam . xander : they 're ending their marriage because of this , zoe . they think beth is gone . we have an obligation to tell them the truth . zoe : well , then what , xander ? my father goes to jail ? flo and i do , too ? is that what you want ? xander : no ! i 'll explain to hope and her family that -- that it was n't your fault , that you were manipulated into -- zoe : wait , wait , wait . so , they do n't know ? you did n't tell them everything ? xander : no . but i wanted to . and i 'm still gon na do it . brooke : what can i do to help , honey ? hope : it 's done , mom . brooke : but if this is n't what you really want -- hope : i love liam as much as ever . but i ca n't keep him to myself when kelly and phoebe need him more . brooke : honey , he can be there for the girls and he can be married to you . hope : he was willing to do that , but i 'm not . ending my marriage is the hardest thing i have ever had to do , but it is the right thing . and if i did n't believe that , i would have never picked up that pen , or at least that 's what i told xander . brooke : xander ? hope : he burst in and tried to stop liam and me from signing the papers . brooke : why would he do that ? xander : i did n't have a change of heart , zoe . i was ready to tell them the truth . zoe : yeah , but you didn't . what stopped you ? xander : thomas . zoe : steffy 's brother ? xander : yeah . then he started throwing his weight around -- literally got in my face , reminding me that forrester 's a family - owned business and that he 's -- he 's my boss . zoe : why ? xander : he did n't want anything to get in the way of hope and liam signing those annulment papers . thomas : beth is alive ? that 's what you want me to believe ? flo : yeah . thomas : how could you say something so cruel ? hope is heartbroken . flo : i know she is . so am i . it is killing me , keeping this secret . thomas : you have no idea what she 's been through . otherwise , you would n't be making up stories like this . she 's your cousin , flo . she thinks you care about her ! flo : you do n't have to believe me . you know , it 's actually probably better for me if you don't . but what i 'm telling you is the truth , thomas . it 's true . brooke : maybe i should have taken a cue from xander and made a last - ditch appeal of my own . hope : i think you 've already tried a few , actually . brooke : i did n't barge in the front door and demand that you stay with liam . hope : it was ... pretty dramatic . brooke : did xander really think he could get through to you ? hope : i mean , he was determined , which is why i 'm surprised he did n't stay . brooke : you said that his car alarm was going off . hope : yep , and then he went out to turn it off and then just got in the car and drove away . brooke : maybe he was n't as determined as you thought . hope : or he just did n't want to make a difficult situation even harder , not that i think that was his intention . i just ... i have thought this through quite a bit , and i finally got liam on the same page , and being interrupted was n't about to change my mind about letting liam go to kelly and phoebe . there was nothing xander could have said . xander : `` beth is alive `` -- that 's all i had to say . zoe : thomas stopped you . xander : yeah . i mean , i did n't even realize he was in the house . carter was there , and -- and hope and liam were about to sign the papers , so i told them to stop . anyone can tell how much they love each other . she 's just doing this for steffy 's children . and she feels connected to them , especially with phoebe , and we all know why . zoe : okay . well , at least phoebe is being raised in a loving home with a wonderful mother . xander : that 's not good enough , zoe . hope and liam are her parents . and i was about to tell them that , till my car alarm went off . zoe : what ? xander : well , i was ignoring it at first , but then liam insisted that i go turn it off , so i did . when i went outside , that 's when thomas showed up . he set off my alarm to get me outside -- to stop me from interrupting hope and liam . zoe : and what did he want ? xander : me ... off the property . zoe : he said that ? xander : i could n't believe it at first . and then he was all , `` stay out of it . hope 's been through hell . you have no idea how much she needs this . `` so i told him i needed a minute , that what i had to say was important . then he just got in my face ad demanded to know why i wanted to stop the annulment . zoe : and what did you tell him ? xander : well , i wanted to tell him everything . zoe : okay , xander . you would n't tell thomas that beth is still alive ? xander : no . no , i just wanted to get out of there . thomas does n't know anything . thomas : i - i do n't know what kind of game you 're playing ... but you need to tell me what 's going on . flo : i want to know the kind of person my grandfather invited into his home . flo : i have wanted to tell her the truth for so long . thomas : what you 're saying ... is n't possible . flo : i know it sounds crazy . i know . i swear to god , thomas , it 's -- it 's the truth . beth did n't die . thomas : no . no . hope -- hope is grieving , okay ? that 's real . flo : it is . hope does n't know . thomas : what are you saying -- that hope believes her baby died but she did n't ? she was there , okay ? she held beth in her arms . that moment is seared into her memory , okay ? liam was there . the doctor explained . thomas : what ? what -- what is that look ? what are n't you saying , flo ? flo : [ sniffles ] thomas : i want to know what 's going on . i want the whole story , and right now . it was here . zoe : hey , please , just listen to me . i - i - i understand that you 're still processing a lot . i mean , you just found out that hope 's baby is still alive and you want her to know , and -- xander : do n't you ? zoe : of course i do . being around hope is torture for me . every time i see her , i 'm screaming the truth in my head . but you have to realize what my father did is a crime . xander : you 're damn right it is . it 's despicable . zoe : and flo and i hate ourselves for being dragged into it . but a crime means prison . xander : i wo n't let that happen . zoe : if you tell hope the truth , it could . xander : your father did this . he 's the one to blame . zoe : we just -- we need a little more time to figure out what to do . xander : look , hope thinks her baby is dead . she 's been grieving for months . hope and liam need to know the truth . zoe : i can't . you have to see that . xander : hope is suffering . do you want her little girl to pay for that , too ? zoe : beth is fine . steffy loves her . xander : look , i know she does . but every day , the bond between them gets stronger . i do n't know how steffy 's going to react when she finds out who phoebe really is , but she needs to know . everybody needs to know . look , i know there will be consequences . but hope is that little girl 's mother . zoe : xander , do you love me ? xander : you know i do . that 's why i 'm trying to help you . you ca n't keep this secret any longer . hope needs to know that her baby is alive . thomas : okay , flo . i want the whole story . do n't leave anything out . flo : first of all , you -- you need to understand that i did n't know any of this when i came to l.a . i - i did n't know about hope . i did n't know anything about beth or catalina or anything . thomas : okay . then how could you possibly know beth is alive ? flo : well , it all goes back to that night -- the night that hope went into labor and there was that storm and -- and there was only that one doctor at the clinic , and she -- thomas : you 're right . she -- she , uh -- something happened and -- and she passed out , right ? flo : well , yeah . that part 's true . but -- but her baby was n't stillborn . thomas : were you there ? flo : no . thomas : then how could you know ? flo : i know the doctor . i kn -- i know dr . buckingham , zoe 's dad . thomas : yeah . he told hope her baby died . flo : he lied . hope delivered a healthy baby girl . thomas : okay , then . that does n't make sense . why would he do that ? flo : because he was trying to protect his daughter . i know reese from vegas , and he gambles a lot with the wrong people 's money , and he owed a lot of bad guys a lot of money , and they were threatening to hurt zoe if he did n't come up with the cash , and so he -- he was desperate . he was just trying to figure out a way to make the money . thomas : so , he what -- he stole hope 's baby ? how could he even do that ? flo : there was another patient at the clinic that night . she delivered a baby before hope arrived . her baby was a stillborn , not beth . thomas : no . flo : hope was unconscious , and reese had gotten this threatening text , and he -- he made the worst decision of his life . thomas : he switched the babies ? flo : yes . and when liam got there , he -- he told him that -- that beth did n't make it . i - i know that this is all impossible to understand , but [ sniffles ] i swear to god , i - it 's true , thomas . that is what xander was coming here to tell hope and liam . he had just found out about it . thomas : so , there was no problem with the delivery . beth is alive . flo : yeah . but that 's -- that 's not the only thing that hope needs to know . xander : hey . this is n't you ... keeping secrets , lying to people . zoe : [ voice breaking ] i wanted to tell hope . i wanted to tell her the moment i found out . but my father -- i mean , those people that he got mixed up with are still out there . xander : i 'm not worried about any of that . [ voice breaking ] i 'm worried about you . [ sniffles ] i mean , look at you . you 're shaking . zoe : because i 'm scared , xander . you say that we have to just tell the truth , and you have no idea how anyone 's going to react . xander : okay . but whatever happens , just know -- hey -- just know ... that you wo n't have to go through it alone ... because i 'm here for you . i care about you and i love you because you 're a good person . i mean , i know you did n't want any of this to happen . and i can see that it 's killing you . but it 's killing hope , too . i mean , she 's probably gon na end her marriage with liam because of this . and now steffy 's bonding with hope 's little girl . zoe , the longer you keep this a secret , the more messed up things will get . we can make it right . it wo n't be easy , and , yes , there will be a fallout , but hope needs to know the truth . please , zoe . please tell me that you understand that . hope : part of me thought it would be a relief .

[ scene_break ] steffy : you know what 's going on ? taylor : i do n't think you 're being emotionally honest with yourself . it seems to me like you 're still feeling some guilt about the miscarriage . steffy : you 're right . taylor : steffy , you 've got to let that go . you need to move beyond it , and you 've got to remember this is n't the end of the world . you and liam will have another child . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] katie : is he asleep ? hope : fell asleep right away . god , i hope my children are that good . katie : your children will be beautiful .

[ chuckles ] hope : she 's really strong , katie . she 's gon na get over this . she 'll be okay . katie : i do n't think that 's her only problem . hope : no , losing liam will be her problem . but she 's going to be okay . i know she is . but , katie , the day that he and i stood out in the back of his house , he was looking in my eyes , and he was about to put that ring back on my finger . and i knew . i knew the truth of what he and i are was right there , and -- and nothing would come between us . steffy will find another man . she will , and she 'll raise a family with him . and i 'll be with liam . this time , for good . [ scene_break ] thomas : so , she was working at her loft ? liam : look , i do n't buy it , either , but that 's what she said . thomas : and you did n't go and check on her ? liam : thomas , i know your sister , and i know when she wants to be alone . thomas : okay .

[ sighs ] i ca n't help but wonder -- liam : what ? what ? just say it . what ? thomas : hope . is she a part of this ? liam : now you 're starting to piss me off . thomas : wow . liam , she 's been sniffing around again after my sister lost the baby ? liam : okay , we 're done . we 're done here , thomas . thomas : liam . hey , you have two women in love with you -- one you 're married to . are you committed ? liam : i 'm gon na tell you this one time . i love your sister . i love her . thomas : but are you committed ? liam : goodbye , thomas ! goodbye ! thomas : liam , i do n't have to tell you this , but my sister -- she has everything -- brains , beauty , wit . and i would like to believe that she -- that you deserve her . so , do n't prove me wrong .

[ sighs ] i - i do n't know . i do n't -- i do n't really have a plan yet . steffy : well , you know i -- i have a guest room . you 're more than welcome to stay here with the girls . thomas : you had to know this day would come . secrets have a way of coming out . flo : i know . and i guess i - i kind of want this one to come out . but if -- if -- if i 'm being honest with you here , if it was n't for this awful secret i 've been carrying around ... thomas : [ scoffs ] your life would be a dream ? flo : yeah . i have -- i have everything that anyone could ever want . i have this whole new extended family , the logans , who 've just welcomed me with open arms . i have this job at forrester creations , and i 'm living here . and i -- i found love again . with wyatt . and i really do think that we could have a future together . but if they know what i 've known all along , then ... thomas : you 'll lose it all . flo : they would hate me . they would have every single right to . i hate myself for keeping quiet . thomas : [ sighs ] and for asking me to ? flo : no . i 'm ... i 'm not asking that of you . i - i just ... thomas : what ? flo : i know how you feel about hope . if you tell them the truth , then hope and liam are gon na get back together , and they 're gon na start a life with beth . which means that -- thomas : i realize . i 've thought about this , okay ? if i tell everyone , then -- then [ sighs ] it ruins any future of douglas , hope , and myself . i also realize that steffy loves that little girl , and it would kill her to find out . it also ruins any chance of steffy and liam reuniting . but this secret , it has to come out . hope 's agony has to end . and i know this is gon na hurt steffy . and i hate to put her in pain . but phoebe is n't who she thinks she is .

[ scene_break ] dr. caron : how did it go with the marone 's ? bridget : oh , fine . we cleared the air about a few other things as well . you were right , marsha . the technician 's faulty memory is no reason to completely panic . i did n't have any red flags in my memory and i have to believe that dr. kimbro and i looked at the label on the donor eggs and those are the ones that we used . dr. caron : good . you had me worried . now , can i have you come with me , please ? dr. caron : i believe you know our chief of staff , dr. mills . bridget : oh yes , of course . dr. mills : how do you do ? and this is darius kahan , our head of legal affairs . we hear glowing reports about your work , dr. forrester . bridget : thank you . dr. mills : let 's all be seated , shall we ? you are an asset to university hospital . i hope to see you remain one . but now , this case of yours in the fertility clinic -- bridget : oh sir , the case is on it 's way to being resolved . dr. mills : oh , it 's all ready resolved . i investigated personally . bridget : oh . well , then you 're aware that there was some confusion between the donor eggs and the eggs that were harvested for research . dr. mills : not at all . the eggs from the donor selected by the marone 's were the ones fertilized . the record is very clear . bridget : with all do respect , sir . it was n't as clear to those of us who were actually in the room . dr. mills : that 's what records are for . the memory may cloud , but the record does not . bridget : but is there a chance that the records might be incorrect ? dr. mills : no , dr . forrester . you are incorrect . you 're second guessing yourself . classic error of the newly practicing physician . the kind of error you suspect could not happen at this institution . and we will not have mr . and mrs. marone or anyone else given to believe it could . [ scene_break ] taylor : shane 's affect was unsettling . you know , i always got this sense that he was reigning something in . something explosive and frightening -- even to himself . but , i did n't really get the feeling that he was suicidal , had any suicidal ideation . christine : well , it was still worth asking . and may i say , very gracious of you to offer your assistance , given the difficulty this case has already caused for you and your husband . taylor : well i know ridge , and i believe in him . my feeling is that , there was someone who strongly influenced ridge to act against his own best interest . stephanie : well , in case you did n't get that , she means me . taylor : did shane leave a note ? that 's very common . although , they 're not always found . christine : right , well we 're checking . but without it , we have no proof that what happened was a failed suicide intervention . all we have is ridge 's word on why he panicked and dumped the body , and that 's not going to carry a lot of weight . unless the jury can be shown how the chambers shooting affected his thinking , and that he was wrongly convicted . taylor , how long do you think you 're going to need to help rick forrester remember his part in all this ? taylor : it could happen in the first session . and then again , it may never happen . i -- in my internship , i worked a lot with recovered memory . and , believe it or not , it 's actually more difficult then less , to get someone to remember a specific incident . see , rick 's built up a lot of defenses , very strong ones , because he does n't want to believe that he could actually want to kill someone . and in order for me to get those defenses down , i have to make him feel very safe . and it will make him very vulnerable . christine : so , potentially , we 're looking at a long process ? brooke : yes . and that 's what i 'm worried about . taylor : well that 's why , ideally , it should take place in stages . he 'll go in and out of denial . he 'll try to come up with all kinds of alternative explanations as to why he 's starting to have these images and these feelings that go along with it . but , as a equalizing part of the treatment plan , i would be shoring up his sense of self worth and that he 's a good person that just acted impulsively and made a mistake . stephanie : taylor , we do n't have a lot of time . i think the d.a . 's going to push for a speedy trial . you know , this thing with rick has got to come a head , and quickly . taylor : no , stephanie . i just told you , rick will be very vulnerable and i 'm not going to do that to him .

[ scene_break ] steffy : i 'm surprised you 're not pouncing on this . hope : hey , i 'd be on my way over to liam 's house right now if this made any sense . does liam even know that you 're leaving ? steffy : he will . hope : so this is a decision you came to all on your own ? steffy : it 's what i have to do , hope . hope : [ sighs ] is it what liam wants ? steffy : no . no . he loves me . hope : okay . i do n't get it . i really do n't understand the game that 's happening right now . what are n't you telling me ? steffy : he needs more than i can give him . hope : and how do you know that what you ca n't give him , i can ? steffy : because you love him the way i do . and you 'll give him everything to make him happy and fulfilled . i ca n't do that for him . i realize that now . steffy : liam is texting me . i have to get home . please tell me you 'll do this . hope : okay , now i 'm actually worried about you , steffy . i know that you 're going through something . but trust me -- it will pass . steffy : no . no . not this time . hope : steffy , yes , it will ! steffy : please , hope ! just do this for me ! do it ! please !

'cause that 's exactly what i wanted to hear , because i have the antidote . come on , rick . it 's been a really long time for us . we could use a night like this . i know i could .

[ scene_break ] liam : so ... you stayed at your loft last night because you needed to make a decision ? steffy : something that i needed to work out . liam : okay . steffy , you know , you were in an accident , and you were hurt , and you ca n't just -- you ca n't do that anymore . you ca n't just not come home . do you know what ... that did to me ? i mean , i started thinking , `` what if something happened to her ? i mean , what if she -- `` [ sighs ] its fine . you 're okay . [ chuckles ] you 're okay , though . [ sighs ] all right . lay it on me . what 's this `` decision `` ? steffy : i had so many plans for us -- our first child ... and then maybe another . maybe three , like my mom . liam : i know , i know . we have plenty of time . steffy : i do n't think so . liam : steffy . [ chuckling ] come on ! you 're depressed , okay ? it 's normal . we 're gon na get you through this . steffy : liam ... trust me when i tell you this . it 's not depression . the last few weeks before the miscarriage , i was the happiest i 've ever been . and you want to know why ? because we were planning a family ... and we were so in love with our baby . and i know how much you wanted this child . and i was reckless , and i ruined that for you . liam , it was more than a mistake . i robbed you of something that you wanted ... something so precious -- liam : no . steffy : our chance to become parents . but you 're gon na be a father . you 're gon na have a child , okay ? liam : yeah . steffy : yeah . i 'm just seeing things differently now . and i need to make some changes . [ sniffles ] liam : okay . okay . steffy : okay . liam : what changes ? steffy : i am moving to paris . liam : wait . wait . wait . what ? what do you mean ? steffy : i 'm leaving la . liam : [ chuckling ] oh . oh , steffy ! it 's okay ! steffy : no . no . i 've already told hope , and i 'm sure she 'll be here any minute . liam : wait , what ? what do you -- whoa . no , no , no , no , no . steffy : maybe she 's been right all along ! liam : steffy , no . steffy : maybe we 're not meant to be ! just do it ! she will give you everything ! liam : steffy -- steffy : she will give you a family ! she 'll give you everything that i ca n't give you ! | hope asks steffy why is she doing this . steffy thinks back over what happened that caused her miscarriage and tells hope that she waited for liam so just do n't ask any questions now . hope repeats what steffy said that hope could give liam something that she could n't . she wonders what that means . liam rattles on to katie that something is seriously wrong with steffy . katie says he really needs to talk to steffy about this , not her . he says he would if he could just get her to come home . this grief is eating them up and he does n't want her to beat herself up over this . this is the first time that steffy has spent the night in the loft since they married so yes he 's worried . hope tells steffy that perhaps she needs to think this over more . she knows this is not what steffy really wants . steffy says it is what hope wants and she 's waited long enough . hope tells steffy to take a good long look at herself . she 's obviously upset and in no condition to leave the country and end her marriage . steffy retorts that she thought hope would be pouncing all over this . hope says she would be on her way over to liam 's house right now if this made any sense . she asks if liam even knows about this . steffy says he will ; it was the only decision she could come to . hope can give him what she ca n't . he 'll be happy and fulfilled and steffy ca n't do that for him . steffy grabs hope around the neck and begs her to do this for her . just take liam and make him happy and have lots of children and a good life . hope is stunned as steffy walks out . justin is in bill 's office and asks if brooke is okay and what 's wrong . bill says he has no clue , but she is home from the hospital . justin spies the innocent pix of maya on his i - pad and bill says he meant to delete that . there 's nothing innocent about breaking the law and the court ordered her to stay away from that clown . bill acts surprised when caroline comes in and informs him that maya suddenly broke things off with rick . he says it does n't matter why as long as she is out of the picture . whatever she sees in him , they are a good match and that is all that matters . rick catches maya looking over some photo shoots . she can barely look him in the eye and is n't very receptive when he says they need to talk . before they can , oliver , thomas and one of the models come in and notice the prison bar setting . of course it is not their idea ; it is caroline 's . maya changes clothes and yep , she is in a black and white striped dress . rick tells her that she does n't have to do anything she does n't want to do . she says it is okay . caroline is just trying to mess with her head and shake her confidence and she is not going to let her . rick sort of fumes in the corner while the bad girls pose behind the bars . oliver takes a lot of pictures then calls a break . he tells rick they just are n't getting it from maya . she 's been this way since she and rick broke up . rick says he knows so he will leave . |
liam : this has been a long time in the making . hope : [ chuckles ] yes . liam : it -- it feels surreal , like i -- i just ca n't believe you 're here . hope : well , that is if you still want me after everything i 've put you through . liam : i would wait for you forever . hope : [ sighs ] liam : which is kind of how it felt . hope : [ laughing ] oh - oh - oh ! i 'm sorry . liam : no . no , that 's not -- that 's not what i meant . it just , um ... it just makes me appreciate this moment so much more . [ scene_break ] wyatt : you 're wasting your time . quinn : honey , why are n't you in big bear with hope ? wyatt : those will never go into production . quinn : you do n't like them ? wyatt : the point is , mom , the forresters do n't like you . you 're done here . we both are . and hope 's done with me . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] aly : i was n't sure you 'd still be here . oliver : any word on ridge ? aly : i was hoping you might have heard something while i was with liam . oliver : let 's go with `` no news is good news , `` okay ? aly : under other circumstances , maybe , but the longer uncle ridge is ... you -- you put this together ? oliver : yeah , just a few pictures i 've taken over the years . thought you might like it . aly : i especially like that one . thank you for doing this for me . [ scene_break ] carter : i 'll let ridge know as soon as i can . of cour -- okay . all right . now i have to go . all right . thank you . maya : how long can you and the forresters keep this up ? carter : we have to make it seem like business as usual , for the forresters ' sake and for ... maya : mostly for r.j. 's . carter : if he heard about his dad before we learned something definite -- but , still , you know the press . maya : and they know you . you 're not just ridge 's right hand . you 're his friend -- a very loyal friend . i just wish i felt as sure about oliver 's loyalty to aly . [ scene_break ] oliver : your dad in abu dhabi ? aly : yeah , he 's -- well , he 's on his way there . still no sign of uncle ridge . ohh . oliver : what ? aly : he 's worried about me , like he does n't have enough to worry about . [ sighs ] i told him you 're taking good care of me . oliver : ridge and i have butted heads more than once . ca n't wait to pick it up where we left off . aly : well , i ca n't wait till he 's back home and in quinn 's face like uncle rick was , not that it really matters . there is no way quinn and her son can worm their way back in here at forrester , especially now that hope has ended things with wyatt -- for good . [ scene_break ] quinn : what happened at the cabin ? wyatt : i just told you . it 's over between hope and me . quinn : well , you 've thought that before . wyatt : this time , it 's different , thanks to you . quinn : honey , listen to me . wyatt : i have ! i have listened to your excuses , your rationalizations , and i have defended you when i should have known better . but no more , 'cause you 're on your own , and so am i , for the first time in my life . [ scene_break ] liam : [ inhales sharply ] hope : mm . liam : no , it only hurts when i laugh . hope : [ laughs ] sounds like something ridge would say . liam : have you , um , talked to your mom ? hope : yeah . she called while i was with wyatt . there 's still no sign of him . liam : [ sighs ] hope : she blames quinn . liam : we all do . but they will find him -- a little worse for wear , maybe , but alive . it 's ridge , you know ? hope : mm - hmm . liam : he has too much to live for for it to end any other way . [ scene_break ] quinn : you want to believe the worst , go ahead , but i do n't think things are as grim as you 're making them out to be . wyatt : what part of `` the forresters want nothing to do with you `` do you not understand ? quinn : well , the forresters are worried . ridge is missing . hopefully , he 'll be found . in the meantime , they need somebody to blame , and i 'm the perfect target . wyatt : because you set this all in motion with that damn photo ! why could n't you have just -- why could n't you have just stayed out of it ? ! dad was never gon na dump brooke for you , but hope has dumped me . quinn : yes , maybe for now , but once ridge is rescued -- wyatt : what about that do you not understand ? ! it 's been way too long ! if he was alive , they would have found him by now ! but eric has lost a son , and after what you 've done , you deserve to lose yours , too . [ scene_break ] hope : you know , what hurts the most about this is ridge and i were not on good terms when he left ... and now i have all these regrets when he really was like a father to me growing up . liam : he will be again . hope : yeah , no thanks to quinn . liam : i ca n't imagine wyatt is too pleased with his mom right now . hope : god . i did not expect him to propose tonight . i mean , he said some things that were -- i - i mean , you should know that i do n't think he thinks it 's over . liam : of course he does n't . i did n't . you kind of have that effect , hope . [ both chuckle ] liam : but it is over . i mean , you 're here , you know what you want , and wyatt has something to offer , but whatever it is , it 's not enough for you , and it never will be . [ scene_break ] carter : what 's wrong with oliver being there for aly , especially with ridge ? maya : that 's exactly my point ! her uncle is missing . it 's been a very difficult time for her . it might make her even more vulnerable to oliver . carter : or she 's responding to a guy who genuinely cares for her . maya : right . the same guy who started flirting with her to save his job ? even though he claims that it 's now grown into something more . carter : oh , my god . you 're still skeptical . maya : and aly would be , too , if she heard what oliver said about her on that recording on my phone . [ scene_break ] oliver : what you said about hope cutting wyatt loose for good -- did liam tell you that ? aly : yeah . it 's what he 's been waiting for . oliver : and what she has n't been able to do ... until now . aly : well , everything 's changed -- the situation with uncle ridge , wyatt going all neanderthal on liam . oliver : there was a fight ? aly : that 's what bullies like wyatt do when they do n't get what they want . oliver : must have been the last straw for hope . aly : he was so good at making her believe he was something he was n't . oliver : people might say the same thing about me . aly : they -- they do n't know you like i do . [ scene_break ] carter : you 're not going to use that tape . aly 's been through enough . maya : and i do n't want to add anything else . but i also ca n't take oliver 's word that he 's not using her when that 's how it all started . [ scene_break ] aly : i know everything i need to know about you , and you definitely know everything about me . oliver : i know you have great instincts about people -- the fullers , especially . you had their number from the start . aly : but in some ways , i wish i 'd been wrong about them -- that they were n't the liars and manipulators everyone knows them to be . that way uncle ridge never would have gone off to brooke . oliver : and hope would be with wyatt instead of liam . aly : okay . okay . there is one good thing to come from this . oliver : two good things . two good things . ridge is gon na be found , and quinn and wyatt are gone instead of me . aly : like i would ever let that happen . you are too important to this company ... and me . oliver : it 's crazy , huh , how this relationship started ? you , a forrester , totally different background than mine -- inexperienced , younger . aly : naive ? oliver : uh , i might have thought that once , but not anymore . you have just blown me away , miss f. you truly amaze me . [ scene_break ] liam : oh . so , um , this is n't gon na come as too much of a shock , but , uh , you want to guess who kept me company while you were in big bear ? mama grizzly . hope : oh , my god . no . liam : she was , um -- wow . she was pretty confident that you would change your mind about choosing me after a romantic evening with her son . hope : you told her why i went , right ? liam : to break things off with wyatt ? yeah . hope : yeah . i also told him that he and his mom needed to be gone from forrester by the time my mom got back . must have felt like a one - two punch . [ scene_break ] quinn : you do n't mean that , sweetheart . i love you . you will always be my son . i know i do n't make it easy sometimes . wyatt : try most of the time . quinn : i 'm not perfect -- far from it . wyatt : you know , i proposed to hope tonight . i said everything ... i did everything that i knew would keep her from going back to liam . i know she still loves me . quinn : of course she does . wyatt : but she ca n't be with me anymore ... because of what happened . you knew by sending that e - mail , you 'd set off a chain of events and that you would get the last laugh . well , guess what -- no one is laughing . three kids may have lost their father , and i may have lost hope . quinn : no . no . this is just hope 's predictable flight to safety , running to what is familiar and unthreatening . wyatt : mom , it is more than that ! do n't you understand ? liam is who she sees her future with . she wants to have children with him . i mean , maybe if i had n't messed up -- quinn : no . no , it 's me . it 's me . it 's me , okay ? the thought of having me as a mother - in - law scared her away . but i 'm gon na go to hope . i am gon na talk to hope , and i will tell her that you 're not -- wyatt : mom , stop ! no ! you are not going to hope . stay away from hope . stay away from me , okay ? i do n't need your help , i do n't want your help , and i do n't want you anywhere near me anymore , okay ? [ scene_break ] quinn : do n't be intentionally cruel . wyatt : you think i like feeling this way about my own mother ? no , no , no . you ca n't hug me like i 'm a 5-year - old with a scraped knee . quinn : i know you 're a grown man with your own life . wyatt : yeah . yeah . [ sniffles ] quinn : but you -- but you are so precious to me . you are my life . wyatt : you see that ? that is the problem . i should n't be your life . do you understand ? it 's an obsession . it 's unhealthy . quinn : i just want you to have the best of everything . wyatt : yeah , and you 'll do anything that you can to keep that -- to make that happen , right ? quinn : why is that so wrong ? why are you making this out to be worse than it is ? wyatt : wow . the fact that you can even ask me that right now is just so ... hope wants us gone before brooke gets back . go back to the factory , mom . stay there . from this point on , i do n't want anything to do with you .

[ chuckles ] | hope and liam snuggle on the couch and he says it feels so surreal and has been a long time coming . both can hardly believe it . he says he would wait for her like forever , which is the way it sort of felt . it just makes him appreciate this moment even more . and he knows they will find ridge ; he is ridge after all . hope considers him her father . and just for the record , she does n't think wyatt thinks this is all over between them . he says she has that affect on guys . and wyatt does have something to offer , just not for hope and he never will . working late , wyatt interrupts quinn as she is working at fc . she is surprised and asks why he 's not still at big bear with hope . he tells her those designs are never going into production , the forrester 's do not like her anymore . he tries to break it to her that she is done there ; they both are . hope is through with him . quinn says he has thought that before . wyatt barks that this time it is different , thanks to her . he says he has listened to her , her rationalizations , her excuses , he even defended her when he should have known better . but no more ; she is on her own and so is he . quinn tells him to go ahead and think the worst but she does n't think it is as grim as he is making it out to be . he wonders what part of the forrester 's want nothing to do with her that she does n't understand . quinn retorts that the forrester 's are worried ; ridge has not been found and they need someone to blame it on so she is okay with that . he says she put everything in motion with that damn photo when she could have just stayed out of it . bill was never going to leave brooke for quinn , but hope has left him . and if ridge was alive , they would have found him by now . it 's been too long . he says eric has lost his son and after what she did , she deserves to too . aly comes in as oliver is looking over some ridge pix on his laptop . he says no news is good news . carter is fielding phone calls and tells maya that they have to make it seem like business as usual until they find ridge . she says he is a very good friend to ridge . she just wishes she felt that strongly about oliver 's friendship with aly . they have more words over how sincere ollie really is . she says aly would be skeptical if she heard what ollie said on her phone . aly tells oliver that she is just glad that wyatt and his mom can not worm their way back into fc now that hope is back with liam for good . it happened when ridge went missing and wyatt went all neanderthal on liam . that 's what bullies do when they do n't get their way . ollie says guess it was the last straw for hope . he hopes others do not see him that way . they hug and she says she knows everything she needs to know about him . he says and it 's good that wyatt and quinn are gone and not him . she says that would never happen as he is too important to this company and to her . he says he may have thought her too young and naive in the beginning but she truly blows him away . liam tells hope she will never guess who kept him company while she was at big bear mama grizzly herself . quinn was pretty confident that hope would change her mind again after being there with her son . hope say she also told wyatt that he and his mom needed to be gone by time her mom got back . must have seemed like a one / two punch . |

steffy : thomas , what is it ? what do you want to tell me ? thomas : i do n't know how to say this . steffy : wait , did -- did something happen ? is it mom ? is it dad ? thomas : no . no , no , no . they 're okay . and douglas is fine , too . steffy : oh , thank god . you 're scaring me . thomas : there 's something you need to know . i - it 's gon na change your family forever . zoe : i ca n't believe you told thomas that beth is alive . flo : i had to . he would n't let up . zoe : do you know what this means ? flo : yeah . the truth is gon na finally come out . zoe : no , you and i are going to jail . my father will lose everything . and the logans will never speak to you again . flo : this is too important . i ca n't keep thinking about myself . xander : zoe , come on . i mean , a secret this big , it was bound to come out sooner or later . flo : and beth is still a baby . she will live the rest of her life with hope and liam , just like she 's supposed to . zoe : they just got their marriage annulled . xander : because they never recovered from losing their baby . flo : and now thomas can change that . thomas can put an end to all of it . zoe : i bet he 's over at steffy 's right now , just telling her everything . oh , my god , flo ! i ca n't believe you did this ! because of you , the truth is about to come out ! xander : we have to let this play out . i mean , hope and liam should have known the truth months ago . flo : yeah , think of all the pain that they 've been through . we can finally put an end to that . zoe : i know . but then what happens to us ? my father ? god , they 're gon na call the police and have us arrested . xander : zoe , i promise , i 'll -- i 'll do everything i can to explain to hope and her family that the two of you were used by reese . he should have never put you in that position . no decent father would ever do that to his daughter . zoe : yeah , but he was in trouble . he was trying to protect me . but they 're not gon na care about that . god , and i do n't even blame them for it . it 's no excuse for what he did . flo : no . there 's no . he did n't care about what would happen to us . he did n't care what would happen to hope and liam . and he really did n't care what would happen to that innocent baby . xander : as hard as this is for you , he deserves what 's coming . but more importantly , hope and liam deserve to know that their baby 's alive . flo : he 's right . we ca n't keep lying forever , zoe . it 's over . we just have to accept that . there is no way that thomas is not gon na go and tell his sister . steffy : thomas , what is it ? you 're starting to scare me . thomas : okay , i - i saw liam 's car . is -- is he ? steffy : yeah , he 's here . he 's in the nursery . he 's with phoebe . what 's going on ? can you tell me ? thomas : you know i only want what 's best for you . steffy : yeah . yeah , of course . thomas : and you 're an amazing mom , okay ? kelly and phoebe are lucky to have you as their mother . but ... [ sighs ] phoebe 's not your daughter . steffy : she 's mine , thomas . i adopted her . thomas : no , she belongs to someone else . she already had a mother , and it is n't you . there 's another woman involved . her mother , whose daughter was taken from her . steffy : flo ? thomas : no . [ stammers ] [ sighs ] this is gon na be really hard to hear . and it 's gon na change your daughters ' lives forever . but ... listen , phoebe ... her mother is actually -- liam : thomas ? what are you doing here ? steffy : thomas has something to tell me . he said it could affect the girls ' lives . liam : really ? what ? what ? you just want to rub it in ? dude , i already know you 're going after hope . there 's nothing you have to say that i want to hear . zoe : of course thomas is with his sister . i 'm surprised the police are n't here yet . xander : we do n't know for sure where he went . flo : well , i 'm assuming he 's going straight to steffy before going to hope or anyone else . he was so shocked . zoe : yeah , you told him every detail . everything my father did . flo : well , i had to tell him the whole story . it was the only way to explain it , make it make any sense . you know , at first , he did n't even believe me . but then he realized i was telling the truth . then he started thinking about what it could mean for hope . xander : well , he 's got feelings for her . flo : and he started to realize that he could be the one to give her the greatest gift she could ever get . but like you said , he has feelings for her , and he was hoping that they could have a future together . zoe : well , if thomas opens this up , hope and liam will get back together , and he 'll never have a chance with her . xander : but what about his sister ? flo : no , he knows that it will be absolutely devastating for steffy to lose phoebe . he knows that . xander : i feel for steffy . but that baby was taken from hope first . flo : yeah , i know . but phoebe 's been with her , and been her daughter for months now . they 're -- they 're family . zoe : yeah , but they wo n't be anymore if thomas reveals the truth . no , his sister will lose phoebe . and , yeah , hope and liam will have their daughter back , and their happy little family . but that would mean no chance for liam and steffy , and no chance for thomas and hope . thomas has a lot to consider . it 's a very complicated situation . flo : [ sighs ] zoe : i 'm just saying , i would understand why he might choose to keep quiet . and i hope that 's exactly what he decides to do . liam : hope and i signed the annulment papers , thomas . you got exactly what you wanted . i mean , first i lose my child , and then i lose my wife ? this is the only sanctuary i have left , and if you plan on taking that from me , too , i swear to god , i 'm gon na snap . so , if -- if you actually care about all of us as much as you claim you do , you 'll turn around and walk out that door right now . steffy : liam -- liam : i 'm not kidding . steffy : i understand that you 're upset . but this is my brother , and i 'm really hoping that we can move past this . thomas : i was hoping we could move on . that 's actually why i came here . liam : yeah , so you know that we signed the papers . i get it . you 're here to gloat . go ahead and gloat . and then -- thomas : no . no , that 's not it . liam : really ? really ? that 's not it ? that 's -- steffy : okay , can we please not do this ? can we please not do this right now ? please ? please . liam : fine . steffy : thomas has something to tell me , and it sounded really important . thomas : it 's important , and it has to do with all of us . especially liam and phoebe . liam : phoebe and me ? why ? [ baby cries on monitor ] steffy : great . liam : sorry . sorry . steffy : [ sighs ] oh , yeah . phoebe 's up , and kelly . liam : they 're both up . steffy : yeah . okay . liam : um , i 'll get one , you get the other ? steffy : yeah , okay . it 's nice having you around here . stay here . i 'll be right back . thomas : all right . liam : hi , girls . the noble tortilla was created flo : okay , thinking that thomas is not gon na tell is a pretty big assumption to make . xander : yeah , babe . i mean , i 'd be pretty shocked if thomas did n't say anything . zoe : yeah , but steffy has so much to lose . giving up that baby would be heartbreaking . flo : of course it would . but if she knew that phoebe was really beth , she 'd have to do the right thing . she would n't want to keep hope 's baby from her . zoe : yeah , but it 's not that simple , okay ? she would be giving up phoebe and giving up liam -- forever . flo : okay , so , you 're -- you 're saying that y - you think that liam 's marriage is over , steffy thinks that they can get back together and start a family ? okay . y - you guys , i - i do n't know steffy very well , but she seems like a good person . look , i - if she knew all the circumstances , i think that she would want to support hope and liam . xander : well , they 're all gon na be connected forever , anyway . i mean , phoebe and kelly are -- [ sighs ] beth . beth and kelly are half - sisters . liam is their biological father , so they 'll just be like any other blended family in america . zoe : okay , but you 're forgetting that thomas is super into hope . he wants a mother for his son . and he 's not a huge fan of liam 's to begin with . so you put all that together , and there 's still a pretty good chance that he 's not gon na tell steffy . xander : zoe , i know you 're desperate to believe that because you 're worried of facing the consequences . and rightly so . so am i . and so is flo . and i 'm sure , if your dad was here and he knew what was going on , he 'd be freaking out , too . [ zoe scoffs ] so ... i understand you wanting to keep a lid on this , i do , but , zoe ... [ sighs ] i think you should start getting prepared for this thing to blow wide open . zoe : and then what , xander ? my life is over . and my father 's life ? i mean , are you gon na be the one showing up at prison to visit me every other saturday ? [ xander sighs ] no . so i 'm choosing to hold on . to have faith . i do n't think thomas is gon na say anything . flo : okay , zoe . if -- if that 's what you really think , then you 're gon na be disappointed . [ sighs ] right before thomas left , he got really , really intense about it all , and he told me that steffy and hope both need to know . steffy : do you want to stand ? man , she 's , like , ready to ... liam : she -- she 's gon na be an athlete . like , track runner . steffy : yeah . she just wants to keep on movin ' and groovin ' . liam : or a football player . or a surfer . thomas : look , if there 's anything you know , anything that can help hope -- flo : it 's about hope 's baby . it 's -- it 's about beth . thomas : beth ? she -- she died . she was stillborn . why would you bring that up ? what ? ! tell me ! flo : [ crying ] she 's alive . beth is alive . [ liam and steffy chatting ] it all goes back to that night , the night that hope went into labor , and there was that storm , and -- and there was only that one doctor at the clinic , and she ... thomas : yeah , right . she -- she , uh ... something happened and -- and she passed out . right ? flo : well , yeah . that part 's true . but ... but her baby was n't stillborn . thomas : were you there ? flo : no . thomas : then how could you know ? flo : i know dr . buckingham . zoe 's dad . thomas : yeah . he told hope her baby died . flo : he lied . hope delivered a healthy baby girl . i - i know that this is all impossible to understand , but [ sniffles ] i swear to god it 's -- it 's true , thomas . that is what xander was coming here to tell hope and liam . he had just found out about it . thomas : beth is alive ? liam : can you say `` mama `` or `` da -- `` who 's your favorite ? steffy : mama . liam : point to your favorite . steffy : mama . can you say `` mama `` ? liam : there you go , kelly . i knew you were hungry . i knew she was hungry . steffy : maybe phoebe 's hungry , too . we should really get them on the same feeding schedule . liam : yeah , it 's tough . i mean , sometimes i can get them to play together , maybe even laugh together . steffy : they love you so much . liam : who 's a fun dad ? who 's -- who 's a fun dad ? [ steffy laughs ] am i a fun dad ? [ chuckles ] aww . her little smile . is that a little smile ? steffy : yeah , a little smile . liam : smile for me ? steffy : phoebe , i have a surprise for you . daddy 's moving in with us . liam : that 's right , girls . i 'm gon na be here full time . thomas : wait , seriously ? you 're -- you 're moving in ? steffy : yeah . well , he 's -- he 's moving in to the guest room . thomas : but you 're -- you 're living here now ? liam : well , yeah . after hope and i signed the annulment papers , your sister invited me to stay , and ... that 's what hope wanted , right ? i mean , that -- that was the whole reason she ended our marriage , so i could spend more time with the girls . and , honestly , i think it 's good for me to be here , to -- to put them first , and ... and , yes , thomas , i know , in your own twisted way , that 's what you wanted , too . steffy : well , i know the girls are gon na be very excited to wake up and see you every morning . liam : yeah . and i know what you 're thinking , okay ? i 'm kelly 's dad . i 'm not phoebe 's dad . but i am . i really am . i mean , maybe not in blood or on paper , but ... i 'm the only dad phoebe will ever know . thomas : i agree , liam . you 're definitely phoebe 's dad . liam : well , girls , ladies , who 's up for a beach walk ?

[ cell phone beeps ] liam : well , dad 's on his way . reverend rydale : huh . i guess i picked the wrong house to slip into . liam : i 'm sorry . `` slip into `` ? reverend rydale : i like mr. spencer . he spoke so eloquently at your wedding . wyatt : yeah , about that . i probably should have done a lot more research , but steffy and i were trying to get married in the moment , and the guy had good reviews . reverend rydale : 4 1/2 stars . should have been 5 , but this -- wyatt : i mean , i ca n't even believe this ! you broke into my brother 's house , what , to rob him blind ? reverend rydale : no , just what i could carry . i hit some hard times . i was just trying to get by . i 'm not greedy . wyatt : you 're my reverend ! my minister ! like , you -- you 're the guy who pronounced steffy and me husband and wife ! like , we entrusted our future ! reverend rydale : i 'm honored ! it was a beautiful wedding . steffy : marriage is everything i expected and more . thomas : happy , happy , happy , happy ? steffy : happy , happy , happy . exactly . what ? you do n't believe me ? thomas : do you believe yourself ? steffy : you know , i hate when you do that -- you answer a question with a question . like , do you do that to annoy me , or are you trying to imply something ? thomas : oh , i think you know . thank you . steff , i do n't doubt your love for wyatt , and i do n't dispute your commitment for your marriage . but things have changed since that day on the beach . steffy : no , not really . not between wyatt and me . thomas : liam 's back . that puts a spin on everything . you and wyatt , you 're good together . but you and liam -- you guys have something special . you gon na deny that ? reverend rydale : boy , does that smell good . lt . baker : well , nothing beats a good old all american hot dog . reverend rydale : i do n't suppose you 'd be inclined to part with the other one in the bag . lt . baker : hey , hey , hey , hey ! you know , i could just put you in a holding cell back there , right ? i mean , you could just sit there and wait for your paperwork to be done , but no , you 're milling around in my office , sniffing around in my food . why ? because i 'm in a good mood ! you want me to stay in a good mood ? then back up off my hot dog . reverend rydale : oh ! sorry . bill : you all right ? liam : yeah . bill : what happened ? liam : uh , i heard some noises , went to check it out , found this guy in a ski mask going through all my stuff , and i hit him with a golf club . bill : hard ? liam : yeah . he went down . bill : good . but why does he ... look a little bit familiar ? liam : ahh . wyatt : [ sighs ] dad ... say hi to reverend rydale . bill : reverend rydale ? wyatt : the minister who married steffy and me . bill : reverend ... ry ... dale . thomas : at least they caught the guy , i mean ... poor liam . he ca n't seem to catch a break , can he ? steffy : yeah . thomas : steff , i 'm not trying to pressure you into talking about anything . if anything , i 'm trying to relieve that pressure . okay ? you ca n't keep denying the way that you feel about these things . you ca n't keep it bottled up . it 's not good for you . you can talk to me about anything . you know that . i 'm never gon na judge you . steffy : you never do . thomas : well , you 're my sister . that makes you practically perfect . steffy : that is true . thomas : yeah . steff ... i know you , okay ? i know how deeply you love , and i know how you go all - in with anything that you do . your marriage , everything -- i know that you want to honor your commitment to wyatt . steffy : yeah , i do . thomas : but there 's just one problem . what you thought happened did n't . liam -- liam did n't dump you . he got taken , and now he 's back , and he 's fighting for his future with you . he wants you back , and i think -- and i think that you want that , too . steffy : but i ca n't , thomas . liam and i can never happen again because of quinn . ohh ! i should have been smarter about her from the beginning . you know , i heard stories about how was she all crazy in paris , and then -- and then , i saw it , how she was targeting liam . but quinn is good . she is so good at being contrite and pretending to be normal that you just -- you believe it . you say , `` oh , she 's okay . she 's being so productive . `` thomas : quinn is a high - functioning psychopath . steffy : yeah , and -- [ sighs ] wyatt really wants to believe that the good part of quinn is gon na win out over the insanity , and i really want to believe that , but ... [ sighs ] you know , i gave her a chance . look what happened . my whole life has been altered , and if i could change one thing about my marriage , it would be her . i can not stand quinn . thomas : if quinn had never kidnapped liam , if he had n't been away for so long ... you would be his wife , not wyatt 's . lt . baker : thank you . congratulations . another goal has been reached . you have been processed into the system . reverend rydale : hey , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to wake you up . i thought i 'd be in and out . liam : yeah , with as much cash as you could carry . reverend rydale : i live near the beach , but not like you . i -- i did n't think that you would miss a few bucks . bill : well , you got caught . now you 're gon na pay the consequences . reverend rydale : yeah . that sums it up neatly . lieutenant . wyatt : wait . i need some reassurance here . you -- you officiated our wedding . steffy and i believed that your credentials were valid . we trusted you with the most important day of our life . so i need to know if you filed those papers in your legal capacity as a minister . reverend rydale : do n't worry . i got you , bro . steffy : yes , i -- i love liam . and i always will . i ca n't deny that . but i take my vows and my marriage very seriously . i did n't just stand on a beach with wyatt and say a bunch of words that i did n't mean . [ cell phone chimes ] lt . baker : well , it 's all set . if the good reverend ca n't make bail , we 'll hold him till the preliminary hearing . assuming you still want to go forward with the charges . bill : my son will be pressing charges -- this time . and if he does n't , i will . it 's my house . lt . baker : well , liam , what 's it gon na be ? liam : yes . yeah . of course , i 'm gon na press charges . the guy tried to rob me . it 's pretty clear - cut . bill : attaboy . liam : all right , lt . baker , are we good ? am i good ? lt . baker : yeah , you 'll be hearing from me . liam : great . [ claps hands ] great . [ clears throat ] bill : where you going ? liam : i just -- i have something to , uh , take care of . thank you for coming . thank you . thomas : well , where are you going all of a sudden ? steffy : i wo n't be long . you can wait here if you want . thomas : no , no . i guess i 'll , uh , i 'll head home . steffy : how 's douglas ? thomas : he is ... astonishing . steffy : big word for a little guy . thomas : i mean it . i mean , that guy 's rocked my world . steffy : he 's lucky to have you as his brother . thomas : yeah . that text -- that was liam , right ? steffy : yeah . he said he wanted to see me -- said it was urgent . thomas : okay , fine . one last question , and then i 'll leave it alone forever , for now . i know wyatt -- he stepped in in a time when you needed him and that you are grateful . but does all of that translate to love ? steffy : thomas , trust me -- i would n't have married wyatt if i did n't love him . bill : nice of you to be here for your brother . wyatt : of course . bill : you all right ? wyatt : oh , you know . just a little freaked out . the guy who officiated my wedding broke into my brother 's house and tried to rob him , but , you know ... bill : begs the question . wyatt : do n't . do n't think that i have n't been asking myself that question . what do you think ? you think i should be worried if my marriage is legal or not ? bill : not a fan of worry . passive action gets you nowhere . wyatt : who are you calling ? bill : city clerk . my girl emmy . we 'll get the answer you need tonight . [ door opens ] liam : hey . you 're here . great . steffy : are you okay ? i could n't tell from the text . liam : yeah , no , i 'm okay . i 'm -- [ chuckles ] i 'm more than okay . steffy : how 'd it go at the station ? did they catch the guy ? liam : maybe you better sit down . steffy : why ? what 's -- what 's wrong ? liam : no , no . steffy : did something happen ? liam : no , nothing 's wrong . it 's just something you 're not expecting to hear . um ... what happened tonight , if i 'm right about this , could change everything for us , steffy . i mean , you 'd be free . steffy : free to -- liam : free to be with me again . steffy : i 'm so -- what are you talking about ? liam : okay , okay . i 'm talking about us moving on with our lives the way we always planned . steffy : i guess you better fill me in . liam : okay . all right . okay . so ... the guy who broke into my house tonight ... steffy : mm - hmm . liam : ... is the same guy who married you to wyatt . emmy : i would n't have driven back here for anyone but you , mr. spencer . bill : what 's this `` mr. spencer `` nonsense , emmy ? you know it 's `` bill . `` and i appreciate you coming back . i did n't take you away from anything important , did i ? emmy : oh , no . you know , just gon na binge - watch a little something , but -- hey . once we 're finished here , why do n't you come back and join me ? bill : well , that is very tempting . but i 'm dealing with this situation . how about a rain check ? emmy : well , rain 's good . had a little drought . so , what can i do for you ? bill : uh , well , uh , my son -- wyatt spencer -- he married stephanie forrester . you might have heard something about that . emmy : oh , yes -- saw the pictures in the magazines . congratulations . wyatt : thank you . yes . uh , reverend rydale was supposed to file all the paperwork with you , and i 'm kind of a detail - oriented guy . i just want to make sure everything 's in order for our marriage . bill : we 'd like to take a look at all the pertinent documents ... make sure everything is just , you know , nice and legal . emmy : nice and -- nice and legal . fives . okay , i got you . i 'm gon na go to the file room and see if he did just that . bill : we 're gon na wait right here for you . [ thud ] that 's my girl emmy . steffy : are you sure about this ? liam : oh , yeah ! no , wyatt id 'd him . actually , he did n't even have to i.d . him . rydale , right ? that 's the guy 's name ? as soon as he saw wyatt , he started speaking up . he was like , `` hey , dude , how 's married life ? `` steffy : so , a reverend robbed you ? liam : yeah . steffy : that does n't make any sense . liam : i do n't know . i do n't know . he 's a shady guy . he fell on hard times . he -- where did you find him , by the way ? steffy : [ sighs ] wyatt found him online , on one of those review sites . liam : huh . well , either way , looks like things are gon na change -- this time , in our favor . [ chuckles ] steffy : wait . does this mean my marriage is n't legal ? liam : i do n't think so . i mean , i -- i really do n't think so . i -- i got this feeling . steffy , i have a feeling that things are finally gon na turn around for us . and come on , i mean , we -- we were always meant to be together , right ? it 's just we had terrible luck , like -- like , really terrible luck . like , the worst luck . just one obstacle after another . and yet , every time , we would find our way back to each other . and you know why ? because what we have is real . and it does n't actually matter what or who gets in our way . yeah , this time , it was quinn , right ? if she had n't taken me hostage , if i had been around , we would have resolved whatever issue you say that we were having at the time , and there 's no way , not a chance in hell you would have married wyatt . you know that 's true . look , maybe -- maybe what happened tonight goes deeper than a minister with criminal tendencies . maybe he 's not a minister at all . and if that is the case -- if it 's the case -- then you have an out . you can -- you can come back to me . i mean , i -- i know you have feelings for wyatt . i know that . but they do n't compare . they do n't even compare to what you feel for me . steffy : [ scoffs ] we still do n't know for sure . liam : i do . i know it . i know it . i know it . i know it because we did not come all this way for you to end up married to my brother . that 's a fact . i am yours , just like you 're mine . this marriage to wyatt ca n't be legal . wyatt : a valid marriage certificate should n't be that hard to find , right ? bill : emmy 's on the case , wyatt . it has n't been that long . you got to relax . listen , before we leave this building tonight , you 're gon na know where you stand . wyatt : yeah , but ... do i really want to ? i mean , what if i find out that our marriage is n't valid ? i ... i could lose her , dad . bill : not necessarily . you and steffy have a solid relationship . wyatt : yeah , the best i 've ever had . i mean , i -- i 'm a better match for her than liam is . and ... look , i 'm not stupid . i know that she has a blind spot for the guy . and do n't think liam would n't be taking advantage of this situation , all right ? i know i would . some people say that i already have . bill : steffy chose to marry you . wyatt : yeah . and you know what ? she 'd choose it again , too , if she had to , 'cause we 're a family now , permanently . so , is that it ? look , i need to know . | wyatt is aghast . this man who broke into liam 's house is the one who married him and steffy . wyatt says he should have done more research . the guy says it was a beautiful wedding . and he 's fell on hard times and just trying to get by . he picked the wrong house . while lt . baker eats his usual hotdog , the reverend rydale sniffs around and wonders if the lieutenant might share the rest in his bag . baker tells him he could wait back in his cell but no he chose to come out here in baker 's office , so lay off . thomas talks to steffy but does not want to talk about him and ridge , but how she is and her marriage working out . he knows things have changed now that liam is back . she and wyatt may be together but she and liam had something special . he does not believe she can forget that . steffy said she should have listened more about quinn . but she is so good at being contrite and they all believe it . the good heart of quinn is going to win out over the insanity . now her whole life has been changed and she can not stand quinn . that 's the only thing she would changed about her marriage . she loves liam and always will but she did not stand on that beach and say words she did not mean . she will honor those vows . |
katie : do n't come near me ! i 'm warning you ! i 'm warning you , sheila ! sheila : but we 're just talking . can you put it down ? katie : get out of my house ! sheila : katie , i 'm sorry , but i 'm not going anywhere . eric : is it pointless for me to ask you how you are ? quinn : oh , i 'm still a little bit shaky . eric : hmm . i 'll be steady for you . quinn : i know . you always are . [ sighs ] i ca n't believe somebody tried to shoot me . and i 've been on my best behavior ! at least i think i have been . i ... i 've been just going over and over in my head , who -- who did i upset ? who did i make mad ? and the only person i can come up with is katie , but ... the gunshot- residue test cleared her , so ... who wants me dead ? bill : hmm . [ muffled ] so ... how about we just turn this around ... and , uh , do it all again ? but for like , you know , six months or so ? brooke : [ giggles ] it was an amazing honeymoon . but the dollar bill spencer i know would n't loaf around europe for six whole months . bill : yeah , he would , with you by his side ... wife . [ brooke chuckles ] wyatt : ohh , kissy , kissy . liam : oh . brooke : oh , no ! [ laughs ] bill : oh , really ? liam : you know , guys , the honeymoon was over when you stepped foot in the building . bill : nah , honeymooners for life . brooke : [ sighs ] you know , liam could be right . it 's time to get back to real life . bill : but you see what i have to deal with . really ? do i have to ? bill : [ laughs ] yes , you do . and so do i . so if you need me , i will be at forrester . bill : i do . brooke : mm . mm , okay . well , then , i 'll see you at home later . [ both chuckle ] liam : i do n't want to know what you do at home . wyatt : yeah . ugh ... brooke : goodbye , boys . wyatt : bye . liam : [ chuckles ] bye . bill : now that 's a woman . liam : yeah , and your wife , no less . took you long enough . wyatt : about damn time . bill : and , believe me , we 've been making up for it as much as humanly possible . wyatt : yeah , we could leave that out . liam : that 's , uh , too much information . wyatt : we 're happy for you . bill : thank you , sons . wyatt : yeah . bill : so , what did i miss ? wyatt : well , um ... someone tried to shoot my mom . ridge : so , that 's all we know . whoever shot at quinn is still out there . pam : that 's scary . ridge : it is scary . she 's pretty shaken . pam : but who do you think would want to kill quinn ? ridge : i do n't know . pam : i mean , in the past [ chuckles ] i mean , just wait in line . take a number . but since she 's been with eric , even you can see that ... she 's different . ridge : `` even `` me ? pam : i mean , not so long ago , ridge , you would 've been one of the first people in that line . but you and quinn have come a long way . bill : somebody tried to kill your mother ? wyatt : yeah , that or scare her . and they did a good job , too . she was alone at the house , she was out on the patio , and then all of a sudden a bullet flies by her head . we 're talking inches away , here . bill : i suppose i should ask how she 's doing . wyatt : you know ... do n't hurt yourself . bill : well , wyatt , come on . you know , i mean , you 're my son . i love you . but quinn -- not a big fan . liam : yeah , well , that makes two of us . not that anybody wants her dead , right ? bill : any word on the shooter ? wyatt : actually , she pointed a finger toward katie . bill : katie ? ! pam : i would be terrified if i was quinn . i mean , what if the shooter comes back ? has another , more successful attempt ? ridge , you know what , we should put charlie on quinn full time . really . until the cops arrest this nutcase . ridge : okay . thank you . i think , if we need security , we 'll try to find someone that does n't leave his gun ... you 're home . brooke : yes . we are . pam : i - i 'll just get back to work , and leave you two alone . welcome back , brooke ! pam : thanks , pam . ridge : i missed you brightening up the place . you look happy . brooke : [ sighs ] i am . and i 'm committed to my husband . ridge : and that would be me if i had n't screwed up with quinn . quinn : katie held a gun on me . she was n't shy about using it . it made sense that she would take the next step and -- and fire it . you know , when i thought she was avoiding the police , i went up to her house again to confront her , and , well , that was when i met her friend sheila . eric : well , katie 's been cleared by the police . they performed this gunshot- residue thing on her , and it came back negative . although it is alarming that she pulled a gun on you . quinn : clearly the woman hates me . eric : she 's hurt and angry that she was fired . pulling a gun on somebody is unacceptable , but katie 's no killer . believe me , i know what i 'm talking about . i 've dealt with that kind of a woman before . sheila : i 'm not going anywhere until you listen to me . katie : i do n't need to hear anything you have to say , sheila . sheila : would you please just put that down ? katie : what are you doing in my house ? oh , my god . it was you . you tried to kill quinn because she 's eric 's wife . bill : i know katie . i was married to her . twice . yes , she can get mad as hell . she 'll throw things . yells . but nobody ever got shot . including me . and one could argue that i gave her plenty of reason . liam : i mean , quinn does have a knack for provoking people . wyatt : [ exclaims ] liam : com -- dude . you know it 's true . she pushes and pushes and pushes until you snap . and i know , because i did . wyatt : okay , fine . bill : all right , so , nothing happened , right ? katie 's cleared . that 's what you said . wyatt : right . bill : so case closed . now , as far as who took a shot at quinn ... i mean , take a number . it could be anybody . wyatt : somehow , this conversation with my father and -- and brother is not making me feel comforted right now . does no one care that my mother -- i mean , as flawed as she is , yes , but still my only one -- could end up dead ? liam : quinn will be fine . she always is . bill : hey , where the hell is will in all this ? wyatt : out of the house with the nanny the whole time . bill : good . katie , accused of taking a shot at quinn . wait 'll brooke hears about this . brooke : ridge , there 's no reason for us to ever talk about quinn at all . unless , of course , it 's about business . and what happened happened . and you both said you 're sorry . and we do n't need to say anything else to anybody as long as you stay away from each other . ridge : yeah , well , actually , there is one thing -- brooke : oh , no . please . let 's -- it 's in the past . we need to move forward . ridge : i understand you do n't want to talk about quinn . i get that . but there 's something you should know . something happened . brooke : what happened with quinn ? bill : someone took a shot at her . brooke : what ? is she okay ? ridge : yeah , she 's fine . they missed . brooke : where ? when ? ridge : the patio off the living room . brooke : it was at their house ? do they have any idea who it is ? ridge : the police are talking to katie . sheila : look , i 'm sorry . we just got off on the wrong foot . katie : you broke into my house ! sheila : your window was open . katie : that does n't give you the right to come in and make yourself at home ! sheila : well , i yelled for you , katie . i - i ju -- i just thought i would wait . katie : what do you want ? sheila : you know , you still look scared , katie , and you really do n't need to be . and -- and for the record , i know nothing about a shooting . katie : yeah . well , i -- you know , i 'd love to believe you . but i do know about all those horrible things that you -- you did . sheila : well , that was a long time ago . i did my time . i 'm a different person now . katie : why are you here ? sheila : i want your help . katie : my help ? sheila : you 're reasonable . you 're fair - minded . i think , if you vouch for someone , it 'll stick . katie : you want me to vouch for you ? ! sheila : i want you to talk to eric and the forresters on my behalf . i - i want you to start by saying how -- how friendly and reasonable i 've been with you here , that -- that there 's been absolutely no trace of the old sheila . the forresters were a very big part of my life , and i just want to make things right with them . and you can make that happen . so , katie , what do you say , huh ? help me out ? [ cell phone chimes ] eric : oh , my god . quinn : honey ? what is it ? eric : [ sighs ] the woman you saw up at katie 's ? quinn : her friend ? eric : yeah , she 's not a friend . it 's my ex - wife . quinn : that 's sheila carter ? eric : yes . and if she 's back in the picture , everything 's starting to make terrible sense now . quinn : what are you talking about ? eric : she 's dangerous . she 's killed people . she 's been in and out of jail . there 's been rumors of identity change . my god . if sheila is here ... then i think we just found our shooter . eric : sheila 's with katie right now . she could be in danger . look , call ridge . get him up here to the house . i do n't want you to be alone . quinn : eric , wait a second . if sheila is as dangerous as you say she is , you can get hurt . do n't you think we should call lieutenant baker ? eric : i think i can handle sheila . get ridge up here . bill : katie being hauled off to the police station like a common criminal . that 'll put a damper on brooke . wyatt : i do n't think it was that dramatic , dad . liam : yeah , i think she drove herself . it 's not like she was arrested or anything . bill : however it went down , brooke 's gon na be upset . i should call her , give her a heads up . liam : brooke went to forrester , right ? bill : yeah . liam : so she probably knows all about it by now . brooke : thank god they cleared katie . but of course they would . who would ever believe that katie would shoot quinn ? ridge : i agree . she 's not gon na shoot anybody . but someone out there is targeting quinn . brooke : you seem really concerned . ridge : what ? no . i 'm -- brooke : you better be careful , ridge . ridge : careful of what ? brooke : that . the denial . you got involved with quinn because of your self- destructive behavior . but maybe , just maybe , you do have some real feelings . ridge : whatever happened between me and quinn , that 's in the past . but that does n't mean i want some lunatic shooting at her . no , it was n't katie . i know that . but someone is out there , and i got to find out who it is . katie : you know , i do n't have any reason or desire to help you , so ... my answer is no . you can leave now . sheila : all i 'm asking you to do is to put in a good word for me with eric and his family . to -- to just help influence him . is that so hard to do ? katie : did you shoot at his wife ? sheila : no ! of course not . i 've -- i have been locked up . i 'm rehabilitated . i do n't just shoot people anymore . katie : [ scoffs ] oh , okay . yeah . great . sheila : look , stop -- stop looking at me as the woman i was in the past . look at me as the woman standing right here in front of you now . am i holding a gun on you -- forcing you to say these things , katie ? no . i 'm not . i 'm asking you nicely . [ scoffs ] the best years of my life were spent with the forresters . as part of their family . making amends means everything to me . i 'm trying to put my life back together again , katie . but have you ever been to prison ? katie : uh ... sheila : no . no . of course -- of course you have n't . but you know what ? take it from me . it is not fun . i never want to go there again . katie : and that 's where you 've been ? sheila : yeah . you probably thought i was dead , or -- or wished that i were . and i understand completely . i 've done terrible , unspeakable things . but i am never going to be that woman again . but i need to at least piece together enough of a life for the woman that i 've become . sheila : please just talk to eric . he loved me once , enough to marry me . and i loved him . so much . katie : i already told you , my answer is no . sheila : would you just stop saying that ? eric : sheila ! bill : you all right , son ? wyatt : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm fine . liam : you 're too easy to read to get away with that , bro . bill : worried about your mother ? wyatt : yeah , well , i 'm sure you 're not interested . bill : not in quinn . but i 'm interested in you . wyatt : i just -- this all would 've made sense before . like , my mom 's been a human wrecking ball . i mean , what she did to you alone ... and pile on hope and ivy and steffy -- the list goes on and on . she 's got plenty of people who 'd want to see her gone . but i 'm telling you guys , since she met eric , she 's different . she 's transformed . eric 's as happy as he 's ever been . the -- the forresters appreciate that about her . she 's even made friends with old enemies , including ridge . okay , she 's at odds with katie . but [ scoffs ] come on . it 's not life - threatening . i just -- i do n't get it . who could want to hurt my mom now ? quinn : [ gasps ] you scared me ! ridge : hey . i 'm sorry . are you okay ? quinn : [ sighs ] yeah . it 's been a long day . and -- and it 's not over yet . ridge : all right . well , i got your text . what 's -- what 's going on ? quinn : well , your dad wanted me to text you . he did n't want me to be alone . ridge : i understand that . i mean , you almost got killed today . well , i 'm -- i 'm ... i 'm here . i 'm not gon na let anything happen to you . quinn : i - i know . i believe that . ridge : want to sit down ? come on . relax . quinn : [ sighs ] no , no , no . no , something happened today . something you do n't even know about . i ... i -- [ sighs ] i went back over to katie 's to confront her when -- when i thought she was avoiding the police , and ... when i got there , there was this woman at her house . she said she was an old logan - family friend , and ... ridge : okay . quinn : then your dad got a text from katie . it was like an s.o.s . text . and he rushed out of here . ridge : you 're babbling a little bit . i 'm not sure -- quinn : no , no , no , no , no . i know i 'm not making any sense . let me ... the woman -- the woman that was at katie 's house was sheila carter . ridge : well , that 's impossible . quinn : it 's not impossible . she 's at katie 's house right now . with your father . sheila : oh , god . you look wonderful , eric . so handsome and distinguished . eric : what are you doing here ? sheila : i came to make amends . eric : `` amends `` ? sheila : yes , because i 'm -- i 'm changing . i - i came to ask katie for her help . i know how much you value the opinion of people that you care for , and ... god , this is so much better ! face - to - face . you can see for yourself what -- what i 'm talking about . eric : are you okay ? katie : yeah . um ... just glad will was n't here . and i had this just in case . sheila : and you did n't need it , did you ? because i came with good intentions . i 'm trying to start over again . i know that i 've done some horrible things . and i 'd like the chance to make those up to you . to be accepted by you and your family again . you 've always been so compassionate , eric . you 've -- you 've got such a big heart . no one has the capacity to forgive someone the way that you do . and i want show you that i 'm not the horrible person i used to be . i have learned lessons . and i want to apply them . eric : you seem sincere . sheila : that 's because i really am . eric : i 've seen that before , have n't i ? well , here 's a lesson i 've learned . the more convincing you are , the more dangerous you are . you draw people in . you get them to believe that you 're different , and that you 've changed , and that you 're sorry , and then you strike . a shot was fired at my wife from this direction today . and now suddenly here you are in katie 's house . what is that ? am i supposed to believe that 's some kind of fantastic coincidence ? sheila : yes , because i did n't take a shot at -- at quinn . why would i do that when i 'm trying to -- to make things right with you ? eric : i 'm not gon na let this happen , sheila . i 'm not gon na let you harm my family , and i 'm sure as hell not gon na let you harm my wife . i 'm gon na put a stop to this before it goes any further . sheila : eric ... eric , who are you calling ? eric : lieutenant baker ? eric forrester . could you send a squad car up to katie logan 's house right away ? i 've got our shooter . it 's sheila carter . | katie holds the fireplace poker and rants at sheila not to come any closer . sheila retorts that she is just talking to her so put the poker down . quinn goes over it with eric that someone wants her dead but the gunshot residue proved katie did not do it . so someone else wants her dead . liam tells bill that the honeymoon was over the minute he walked back into the building . brooke leaves and says she will leave them to work . bill asks wyatt and liam what he missed . wyatt says someone tried to shoot his mom . bill says he loves his son but quinn .not so much . and if katie was cleared , then case closed . he is only concerned about will . pam tells ridge that he and quinn have come a long way . just a while back everyone would have been in that line to shoot quinn , but since being with eric she has changed . but the shooter could come back . perhaps they should put charlie on security of her full time . brooke drops in on ridge and he says he would be her husband now if he had not screwed up . he fills her in that someone shot at katie . eric tells quinn that katie was hurt and angry but she is not a killer . he 's lived with that kind of danger before . sheila tells katie that she knows nothing about a shooting so put the poker down . she did her time in prison and there is absolutely no trace of the old sheila . the forrester 's were a big part of her past life and she would just like to make things right with them and katie can help . eric gets a text that sheila is at katie 's house . he relays to quinn now things make sense . he thinks maybe they have found the shooter . he says get ridge up here as he does not want quinn alone but he is going over to katie 's . |
flo : maybe we needed this . zoe : thomas finding out ? do n't be ridiculous . this secret is about to blow up in our faces . flo : we sat back and we allowed hope to grieve . we allowed steffy to bond with a baby that she had no right to even adopt . zoe , we needed someone else to step in . xander : that 's exactly what thomas is doing right now . telling steffy the truth . that she 's raising hope 's child . steffy : thomas , what is it ? what 's going on ? you said it 's about phoebe and liam . thomas : it 's about all of you . it 's about the children and about the families that you and hope dreamed so much about . steffy : hope ? whoa . whoa . hope 's involved ? thomas : yes . this affects hope probably more than anyone . brooke : so , do you have dinner plans ? hope : uh , no , not yet . i mean , hopefully i got a date with douglas , but that all depends on when thomas comes to pick him up . brooke : well , you 're welcome to come up to the house anytime , with or without a date . douglas : i ca n't be your date . hope : what ? why not ? douglas : everybody knows that you ca n't date a married lady . liam would be mad . where is he , anyways ? hope : he and i , um ... you know what , liam -- he does n't live here anymore . zoe : you think it 'll all be fine once the truth comes out , do n't you ? that , somehow , hope 's going to forgive us . xander : i 'm sorry , but your father committed a crime . it 's not wrong for him to pay for that . flo : you have to think about hope here . what it would mean for her to know the truth about beth . wyatt : beth ? what about beth ? why are you guys talking about hope 's baby ? douglas : liam does n't live here anymore ? hope : no . douglas : why ? hope : well , we decided it 's what best . douglas : but you look so sad . brooke : sometimes people do things that make them sad , if they think it 's for the right reason . hope : and liam has two daughters , and their daddy needed to spend some more time with them , and now he can . douglas : i know he was kelly 's dad , but did he adopt phoebe ? hope : not technically , but liam cares about her so much as if he were her parent , just like i care about her , and that 's how i knew it would be okay if liam moved out . douglas : oh , because you loved phoebe just like you love beth . steffy : what does hope have to do with it ? liam : well , look who refuses to sleep ? steffy : oh , my goodness . liam : yeah . steffy : phoebe ! liam : i know ! steffy : i thought my girl was all tuckered out . liam : yeah , well , she was , until she started insisting on seeing her mother , huh ? steffy : oh , mama 's right here . i 've got you . and there 's daddy . daddy 's moving in with us . [ gasps ] you see how surprised she is ? oh , i -- i mean , liam . liam : why not ? i feel like i 'm her daddy . she may as well call me that . steffy : [ chuckles ] thomas : [ clears throat ] i just realized , um -- i have to go . steffy : thomas , you had something to tell me . you said it was about hope . thomas : yeah , i -- i do . um ... look , you guys living under the same roof , that 's exactly what hope wanted , you know ? she wanted this , you guys together , and , um ... [ chuckles ] just do n't forget her , and ... do n't forget her sacrifice for this . and , um ... uh ... do n't forget beth . liam : of course we won't . why -- why would you think we would ? thomas : i -- i 'm sorry to have bothered you . you know what , have a good night . liam : hey ! steffy : thomas , what are you doing ? what ? [ phoebe giggles ] wyatt : i did n't mean to interrupt . i probably should have texted before stopping by . flo : no , it 's -- it 's fine . we were just , um ... wyatt : talking about beth , for some reason . zoe : well , you know , it 's -- it 's just really sad . you know , if beth had lived then hope and liam would still be together . oh , you have n't heard yet . they , uh , signed the annulment papers . wyatt : oh , geez , i knew it was coming , but i -- i did n't know it was gon na happen so soon . flo : [ sighs ] wyatt : i was hoping it wouldn't . xander : well , things always work themselves out . i 'm sure hope and liam will get back together . wyatt : why -- why would you say that ? xander : well , the thing is -- zoe : you know , xander is just such an optimist , you know , he 's really always been like that . but , hey , you know , we should really give flo and wyatt some time alone . i 'm sure that he came to see her and not to gossip about hope and liam . wyatt : that was weird . flo : that 's zoe for you . wyatt : huh . are you okay ? flo : i 'm fine . wyatt : no , you 're not . flo . hey , you know you can talk to me . whatever it is , whatever 's bothering you , like -- you -- you know you can tell me . steffy : [ sighs ] they 're finally asleep . liam : you were right , she was hungry . steffy : yeah , i 'm good at deciphering her cries . you 'll get the hang of it . liam : [ chuckles ] you expecting a phone call ? steffy : yeah , i just -- i thought thomas would have texted . liam : okay , can we talk about how weird that was , that -- steffy : yeah , i know , i know , i know . but just give him a break , okay ? he 's been through a lot . liam : i -- i mean , i understand that , but it does n't -- it does n't give him the right to come running over here like he 's got earth - shattering news , and then it turns out all he wants to do is lecture us about hope . steffy : hey , i 'm as confused as you are . liam : i -- i know he 's your brother . but i do n't trust him . i don't . especially when it comes to hope . i mean , i -- i know that we 're not together anymore , but i still look after her , and i 'm still gon na protect her , and thomas would be wise to remember that . hope : we signed the papers . brooke : well , papers can just be torn up ! hope : mom . i appreciate your concern , i do , but this is done . i did what i had to do for the children . brooke : and i admire that . it 's just really hard for me to watch . i know you 're in a lot of pain . hope : pain is temporary , and i 'm beginning to think the more time i spend with douglas , the faster it will fade away . brooke : he 's becoming important to you . hope : yeah , i 'm grateful he 's in my life . i 'm grateful for the bond we share . we 've -- we 've both lost so much . brooke : oh , honey ... douglas : hope , do you like flowers ? hope : uh , sure . does n't everyone ? douglas : i found some that made me smile . i thought they might make you smile , too . hope : [ chuckles ] thank you . wow ! these are beautiful . wyatt : okay . something is bothering you . is this about zoe or xander , or what ? flo : no . it 's about hope . wyatt : hope ? why ? flo : i -- i know we 've been through this before , but i really ca n't stop thinking about it . i just wish things would have worked out differently for them . wyatt : i know ! you 're being a good friend to them , a good cousin . i get it . flo : you always believed in me . wyatt : i mean , you 've always given me reason to . liam : two girls sleeping soundly . steffy : mm - hmm . liam : we should be cracking a beer and just praying we have enough time to drink it before the next round of baby madness . steffy : i like the sound of that . liam : i do n't know how you did it , honestly . raising them by yourself for so long . steffy : i was n't alone . i had my mom and amelia . liam : do n't sell yourself short . you 're a good mom . steffy : i 'm glad you think that . liam : i 'm glad to be moving in . hope : thomas . hi . thomas : hi ! oh ! what 's going on ? hope : well , you have a very thoughtful son . he noticed i was sad , and ... voilà ! thomas : how much do i owe you ? brooke : oh . [ laughs ] it 's okay , do n't worry about it . um , i 'll put these in a vase . hope : okay . i think you 'll find one under the sink . brooke : oh ! all right . hope : okay . douglas : is it a secret about what happened , or can we tell daddy ? hope : um , no , it 's not a secret . douglas : hope was sad because of liam . he is n't living here anymore . he 'll be with kelly and phoebe now . hope : yeah , we decided it was best , officially . thomas : i see . uh , well , that -- that is sad , but it 's a good thing you were here to comfort hope . hope : i 'm real happy about that . hey , you know , you are always so sweet to me . i 'm lucky to have you in my life . brooke : okay , here we are . i 'll just put them here . hope : [ chuckles ] thank you . they are beautiful . douglas : daddy , do you bring any snacks ? thomas : here ? no . hope : are you hungry ? i can fix you something . brooke : yeah , we have some cookies up at the house ... douglas : cookies ? can i ? thomas : `` may i ? `` and , yes , you may . just make sure to save one for me , okay ? brooke : are you gon na come up ? i 'll save some cookies for you . we still have more to talk about . thomas : what was that about ? hope : she has opinions . lots of them . thomas : [ chuckles ] part of being a mother , i guess . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . that was stupid . i should n't have said that . hope : no , it 's fine . it 's true . i 'm sure i would have gotten a lot of unwanted advice from my daughter , had she lived . thomas : hope ... hope : yeah ? thomas : there 's something you need to know . xander : are you sure we should have just left flo like that ? zoe : no , but i knew i had to get you out of there . you would have told wyatt . xander : would it have mattered ? i mean , he 's gon na know soon enough anyway . look , the fallout from this will be huge , no question . it may be the hardest thing that you 'll ever have to go through . but you wo n't be going through it alone . we 're in this together . wyatt : uh , you 're shaking . flo : am i ? wyatt : yeah . why -- why are you so upset about hope and liam ending their marriage ? hope : i just keep thinking about all the choices that they 've made because of things that are completely out of their control , and ... [ sighs ] all the choices that we all make along the way , and ... wyatt : o - okay . flo : can you promise me something ? wyatt : yeah . what ? any -- anything . flo : whatever happens for us in the future , just know how happy i am that we found each other again . you have to know how much i care about you . liam : you 're sure you 're okay with this ? steffy : with what ? liam : just my being here . i do n't want to step on your toes . i -- i know this is a well - oiled machine , and you should feel free to put me in my place . steffy : oh , my god , are you kidding ? liam : [ laughing ] no ! steffy : we may not be a traditional family , but ... we 're still family . you , me , phoebe , kelly ... like , i do n't know if phoebe 's gon na end up calling you `` daddy `` or `` liam , `` and ... and i do n't -- i do n't know what 's in store for us . none of that matters . what matters is ... is that it 's the four of us . and we 're a family , however it works . nothing can take that away from us . liam : cheers to that . steffy : cheers . hope : something i need to know ? that sounds serious . thomas : yeah , uh ... seeing you with douglas just now , it reinforces the kind of mother you would have been . hope : you know , i was just telling my mom how lucky i have to douglas here , to form this relationship with him during this time in my life . thomas : i ca n't imagine what you 've been through since that night in catalina . so much suffering , and now your marriage has ended . hope : yeah , it 's hard . i never wanted my marriage to end , but it 's what 's best for phoebe and kelly and for steffy and their daughters . that is liam 's family . it 's different when i thought , you know , he had two families -- a daughter with steffy and a daughter with me -- but beth is gone . she was taken from us . and , without her , my only option was letting liam go . thomas : i want to take away your pain . hope : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , that wo n't happen overnight . but i 'm beginning to think that it will fade because of douglas and ... because of you . i -- i ca n't make any promises , i do n't know what the future will hold , but ... i 'm willing to take it one day at a time . thomas : wait , take what ? what are you -- what are you saying ? hope : i 'm saying that ... i 'm grateful for douglas , and ... i 'm grateful for you . so ... can we just see what happens ? can that be enough for now , or ... ? i do n't know , have your feelings changed ? thomas : not at all . hope : okay . [ chuckles ] i was worried you might leave l.a. again . thomas : [ chuckles ] hope : and i do n't think i can handle losing douglas right now . thomas : you won't . we 're gon na be here for you . and it means so much to hear you say that . hope : so , what is it ? what did you need to tell me ? thomas : um ... i -- i came from steffy 's , and liam was there . hope : well , that 's where he needs to be . thomas : liam ... steffy asked liam to move in , and , uh , he accepted . your hope for those children will come true . your sacrifice wo n't be in vain . i was watching them , liam and steffy , how they interacted with kelly and phoebe , and ... they 're a family . and liam 's moving on , like you wanted him to . and i 'll do anything to help you move on , as well . and you 'll be a mother . my son needs you . douglas loves you . and , never forget , so do i . hope . i 'll do anything for you . | flo , zoe and xander continue to talk about telling the truth about beth . zoe still does not want to tell and get her father in trouble . xander says he is responsible so it is not wrong that he take the blame . thomas is with steffy now and will tell her what happened . wyatt walks in on zoe , flo and xander and hears the word beth and asks why they are talking about hope 's baby . zoe covers by saying they were concerned for hope now that she has signed the annulment papers and that it might remind her again about losing beth too . alone wyatt senses something is wrong with flo but she denies it . brooke and hope play cards with douglas and he asks about liam . hope can only answer quickly that he does not live here anymore . this confuses douglas but hope says they decided this was for the best . when liam returns to steffy and thomas , thomas tries to make a quick exit with steffy still asking him what was so important that he needed to tell her . he stammers that liam is living here under the same roof now and that is exactly what hope wanted so all turned out well . just do not forget hope and the sacrifices she made to make this happen . and do not forget beth . liam does not understand this at all . steffy and liam discuss it and he says that was weird how quickly thomas took off . he knows he is her brother but when it comes to hope he does not trust the guy . while brooke and hope talk , douglas brings hope some flowers and thomas walks up and sees this . liam tells steffy not to sell herself short . he does not know how she has put up with all this baby madness for so long . brooke takes the flowers to put in water leaving hope and thomas to talk . douglas drops the news on thomas that liam is now living with kelly and phoebe . |

[ scene_break ] steffy : maybe it 's like a robin hood thing . reverend rydale steals from the rich , gives to the poor . wyatt : that 's a cute theory and all , but i do n't think so . steffy : well , it 's hard to imagine -- a minister ? wyatt : i know . i know . that 's why i panicked . i thought , if this reverend , if this minister was a fraud , then maybe our marriage was n't valid . but do n't worry , 'cause it is . dad pulled some strings down at the city clerk 's office , and that was ... interesting , but we checked everything out , and it was all okay . turns out reverend rydale was a terrible criminal , but he was pretty efficient at being a minister . anyway , uh ... liam 's fine . he 's a little shaken , but he 'll be okay . and rydale is ... locked up , so that 's good . hey . everything is gon na be okay . come on . you do n't think i 'd let some thieving minister keep me from being married to you , do you ? steffy : [ laughs ] wyatt : i love you . steffy : i love you , too . | liam tells a shocked steffy that she has no reason to stay in her marriage . the minister was a crook . he can not wait to see the look on quinn 's face when she realizes this . bill and wyatt need to know if the marriage is valid or not so they ask the clerk to be sure . she looks through the files and on her computer . according to the state of california the minister was ordained so wyatt is a married man . thomas discusses it with caroline and says steffy may have to turn her back on wyatt if she loves liam more . caroline tells thomas that she does appreciate him putting douglas 's needs first . but they are all in this together . he says yes but it is really hard since he created him . wyatt returns home and does not find steffy . steffy tells liam that she has a lot to think about , especially if this marriage is not valid . the legal words do not matter , just a tattoo on her finger . he says she can have another put over that and never think of it again . he gives steffy a small seashell as a reminder that he will always be thinking of her and find his way to her . bill walks in and finds liam hugging her . he interrupts and tells steffy it is time for her to skedaddle home and be with her husband . it seems the reverend was better at being a minister than he was as a crook . he is legit and the marriage is legal . as she leaves , she clutches the seashell in her palm and shows liam that she is carrying it . bill reads liam the riot act that from this day forward he will respect that marriage . steffy returns home while wyatt is sipping a very large glass of wine . he says she has no idea what he has been going through . |
bill : what is this $ 6,700 contribution to university hospital ? wyatt : told you . bill : oh , yeah . it has a distinct smell of a merit badge . did you start your `` saving the world `` project using my money while i was gone ? liam : no , dad . mary in payroll needed to have emergency surgery . you know -- mary . she 's worked here 22 years . wyatt : yeah , he 's not paying attention . liam : [ sighs ] yeah , forget it . bill : the police have the person who was taking potshots at quinn . wyatt : is mom okay ? bill : katie says that nobody 's hurt and the shooter ... was sheila carter . liam : what ? wyatt : why -- why -- why do i know that name ? bill : because she 's one of eric forrester 's crazy ex - wives . the only one who is possibly crazier than your mother . quinn : honey , thank you for calling . please be careful . okay . [ sighs ] i , uh ... i 'm fine now . you can go . ridge : dad does n't want you to be alone . quinn : yeah , but he just told me that the police have sheila in custody . ridge : you do n't know sheila . this is a pattern . quinn : of shooting people ? ridge : she obsesses about my dad and then shoots people , yes .

liam : yeah , except quinn was in her way . bill : well , fortunately , they caught sheila . so your mother 's dumb luck holds again . quinn : maybe i should have a drink . ridge : you know , quinn , i have been told one too many times that liquor actually does n't calm your nerves . it just makes you feel like it does . quinn : ugh . well , alcohol tends to get me in trouble anyway . ridge : you want to go upstairs , rest ? i 'll stay here . quinn : no . i 'm too wound up . even my shower did n't help me calm down . ridge : let me ask you something . if i were a fortune teller , what could i tell you to -- to make you feel better ? quinn : [ scoffs ] i do n't put a lot of stock in fortune tellers . ridge : all right , but it 's me . if i -- if it was me , then how could i make you happy ? quinn : well , i do n't -- it 's the future . i do n't think i believe in the future because it 's never held anything good for me . say you were a fortune cookie . ridge : that 's the same thing . quinn : no , but if you were a fortune cookie and i cracked you open and i read you and you said , `` the one you love will always love you `` ... that -- that would make me happier than anything else . lt . baker : how long have you been back in l.a. ? sheila : this is so wrong . lt . baker : where you living ? what 's your current address ? sheila : katie , i am so sorry that i frightened you . i looked for you in the garden . and when you were n't there , your -- your door -- lt . baker : what did you want at katie 's house if not to use quinn forrester for a target practice ? sheila : i do n't even have a gun ! did you see me with a gun ? eric : but you were there . sheila : i was there to see katie . she 's -- she 's always been so friendly . you know , i - i was thinking that you could help me approach eric and the other people that i 've hurt . oh , my god , this is such a mistake . katie : well , for what it 's worth , that is the story she told me . sheila : thank you . katie : i ca n't say whether it 's true or not . eric : people can change . i 've always believed that with all my heart . i think maybe sheila might be the exception to that . liam : she 's attempted murder multiple times . bill : shot brooke . wyatt : and i 'm only hearing about this now ? ! liam : [ scoffs ] dude , you 're just hearing about the egregious crimes . then you got your assault , your blackmail , abduction , bigamy . wyatt : oh , great , great . now she 's -- now she 's shooting at my mother . liam : yeah , i , uh , i ca n't believe i 'm saying this , but she actually makes quinn look like the paragon of mental health . wyatt : that 's not even funny . not even slightly funny . bill : son , relax . she 's under arrest . wyatt : yeah , but do we know for sure ? bill : not yet . but the good news is , if anyone 's a match for her , your mother -- wyatt : do n't even finish that sentence . this is n't -- this is n't `` the hunger games , `` okay ? ! my mother is the victim here . bill : i 'll tell you what , katniss . i 'll get in touch with justin , and he 'll reach out to the usual suspects , and we 'll get some answers , all right ?

ridge : you bribe the doctor . quinn : saint stephanie ? ridge : see , my dad is not really interested in a woman unless there 's a little bit of trouble that goes with it . quinn : well , i 'd say that you 're just a chip off the old block . ridge : i guess that 's true . quinn : hmm . although maybe trouble 's the wrong word . i think ... i think women want to stand out , but they 're misled from an early age that they 're not allowed to be the star of their own movie . they 're supposed to be the sidekick . that 's why a woman like your daughter stands out , you know ? steffy has always been the star of her own movie . you can tell . ridge : what about you ? quinn : me ? well , no . i think i ... [ chuckles ] i think i try to stand out , but then i get really scared when someone tries to kill me . [ chuckles ] ridge : oh , that happens a lot ? quinn : well , i used to think my mother would try to kill me . it 's true . i ... i would be asleep in my bedroom , and i would hear the door open . and i would see her standing there , you know , with the hallway light behind her . and i would think , `` that 's it . i 'm a goner . `` ridge : maybe she was checking on you . quinn : or maybe she was just thinking ... `` i think i 'll give that little brat just one more day . `` lt . baker : so there was no assault ? katie : no , she did not assault me . lt . baker : but you characterize miss carter 's manner as threatening . in what way ? katie : well , i mean , just ... her presence , her -- her voice .

[ cell phone chimes ] katie : [ sighs ] thank god . ridge : are you okay ? quinn : i 'm sick of being scared . i mean , the things that i 've done out of fear , you have no idea . your father took that all away , and i felt safe with him . then ... you know what ? no . i 'm -- i 'm done . i do n't -- i do n't want to talk about myself anymore . tell me about you . anything about you . ridge : about me ? quinn : yes . ridge : there 's -- there 's nothing to tell . my son is more like me than i am , and he takes risks that somewhere along the way i - i stopped taking . not sure why . and my daughter is running this company better than i ever could . and brooke came back from her honeymoon and told me how happy she was , so just -- just another day , you know ? quinn : how did that go ? ridge : little weird . you know , strangely familiar . she was very civil . we were civil , just talking over the corpse that is our relationship . quinn : i do n't mean to be intrusive . i 'm sorry . i know i 'm partly to blame for what 's going on between the two of you . ridge : she was civil about you , too , wanted to make sure that you were okay . quinn : wow . [ scoffs ] this -- this sheila . i mean , i - i could -- i could make you a list of people that i - i would have thought would have wanted to take me out , but i ca n't even believe a woman i 've never met before came so close to succeeding . ridge : for what it 's worth , i 'm glad you 're not dead . quinn : wow . ridge , that might be the nicest thing you 've ever said to me . sheila : what do you want to know ? i 'll tell you anything . eric : i 'm all too aware of that .

'cause of forrester , anytime he 's around her , you never know . and she 's close to her due date . massimo : well , if she draws the line with him -- nick : he 's not listening to anyone anymore ! massimo : well , then i 'll have stephanie call him . nick : no . i do n't want stephanie forrester anywhere near brooke . massimo : yeah , well , that could backfire , because stephanie always wants to push brooke and brooke wants to push back . and what better way than get close to ridge ? brooke : i trusted you . you knew how much i wanted your love and your support . stephanie : yes , and just how far you 'd go to get it . brooke : god , i hate you . you know that ? not because of what you did to me , stephanie , but because of what you did to ridge . because if you love him the way you say you do , you would love me , too , because i made him happy . stephanie : you think he was happy when he found out that you were pregnant by nick ? brooke : my god , how can you be so cruel ? stephanie : oh , here come the waterworks . i suppose you want me to feel sorry for you , too ? brooke : oh , no , no , of course not . because you 'd have to have a heart for that , stephanie . real feelings . you know , i do n't cry because i 'm weak . i cry because i 'm human . unlike you . stephanie : oh , now i 'm not human ? brooke : no , no , you 're not . you 're cold - blooded . i 'm the one who should be feeling sorry for you . stephanie : thank you . yes , i think that would be great . i 'd love it if you 'd feel sorry for me . after everything i 've put up from you all of these years . well , it 's over . you are not part of this family any more . ridge : oh , mother , i should 've known . brooke : it 's all right . i can handle it . ridge : come on , let 's go . just so you know , the next wedding you attend will be brooke 's and mine . stephanie : over my dead body .

brooke : ridge , please , we ca n't go on this way . we have to know . the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with , is it taylor , or is it me ? [ scene_break ] gaby : hi . hi . thomas : oh , hey . gaby : i was -- was glad you called . thomas : yeah ? gaby : yeah . i was -- i was thinking about you . thomas : moi ? gaby : well , i needed to smile , and you always make me smile . thomas : ah , well , at least i 'm not so boring you needed to bring a book or anything . gaby : no , no , no , hardly . i just did n't know who was gon na get here first -- and oh , i see somebody had the same idea . thomas : ah , well , you know what they say . great minds -- gaby : -- think alike . thomas : there you go . gaby : so how 's that going ? thomas : summer 's gon na go by fast . so now that i 'm spectra 's latest , greatest hire , i wan na prove myself , show that i 've got what it takes . gaby : i 'm already sold . thomas : my first fan . and more ? gaby : much more . [ scene_break ] stephanie : brooke really did a number on you . eric : that 's what you always think , is n't it ? it 's what you always think when this has to do with brooke . stephanie : 'cause it 's always true . and if you ca n't see that after all -- eric : you know what i see ? ! you know what i see here ? ! i see this woman standing in front of me that i do n't even know -- a woman i have asked repeatedly , time after time , to leave our son 's decision up to him . but you ca n't do it , can you ? you talked to taylor . you told taylor about brooke and nick , and brooke and deacon . when is this whole thing gon na stop ? stephanie : when we get rid of brooke once and for all . eric : there 's your agenda . there it is , right there . you 're gon na convince everybody that if brooke is forced out of that home , she 's gon na run right to nick , my daughter 's husband . stephanie : they 're not married yet . eric : no , but they will be , unless you -- you 've already gone to bridget , have n't you ? stephanie : i 'm trying to protect her from being hurt all over again by her mother . eric : you 're not trying to protect her ! this is about your vendetta against brooke ! stephanie : no , it is n't . i really am worried about bridget . and i pray to god he makes the right decision . i pray that he does . because in my mind , the alternative is absolutely unthinkable . [ scene_break ] ridge : two beautiful , intelligent , amazing women who 've touched my life in the most profound and wonderful ways . who 've given me the greatest gift a man could get -- children , a family . no matter how hard i 've tried to make this decision so it benefits everybody , i realize that -- brooke : one family is going to be destroyed . ridge : that 's the last thing i want . taylor : but you ca n't keep us both . ridge : i realize that . it feels like some cruel joke being played on all of us . mostly on the kids . do they think there 's some logic , some divine plan behind this decision their dad 's about to make ? how do i choose one family over the other ? it 's a damned hard decision to make . taylor : i know , sweetheart . ridge : you are two totally different women who 've captured my heart . i hope you both never forget that . brooke : i wo n't . taylor : i never will . ridge : this time in new york has given me a clarity . it 's given me a chance to see what i need to do . i 'm just not sure -- i 'm not sure you 're gon na both like what i 've decided . [ scene_break ] eric : for the last time , stephanie , this is ridge 's decision , and his alone . you need to stay out of it . whatever he decides , we have to respect it , and you have to accept it . stephanie : i will accept it , when you accept the simple truth . when he dumps brooke , she is going directly to nick . that is the only reason that i went to talk to bridget . i love her , and i can not stand the idea that she 's going to be hurt all over again by her mother . eric : stop turning all this around on brooke ! stop it . now , bridget is in love with nick . they 're happy together . they 're deeply in love . and for you to try to undermine her faith in him , it 's wrong . it 's -- it 's hurtful . this has got to end . stephanie : you know what has to end ? this obvious hold that brooke has on you . [ scene_break ] brooke : what does that mean , you do n't think either of us will -- ridge : no , i just did n't -- in struggling to make this decision , i realized that i -- i need more time with taylor . i need time with you alone , just to talk and reconnect . we 've been away from each other for so long . taylor : i 've wanted the same thing . brooke : i do n't understand . does that mean you have n't made a decision ? ridge : i have , and i have n't . i just need more time with taylor . but i need time with you , too , brooke . your selflessness , your generosity in letting taylor stay at our house so she could be close to her children . but i know it 's come at a cost , to us and our relationship . i know that . brooke : i missed you so much . just being with you , the way we used to be . ridge : i know what you both have been going through . but i just need to have some time with both of you alone . i need that , i really do . i ca n't -- i ca n't make a decision like this , that 's going to effect so many people , unless we can do this . taylor : how do you want to do it ? ridge : i thought we 'd go to the -- the beach house in malibu . and you and i could spend a day there alone . and then the next day , brooke , you -- you come down there , and we spend the day together . is this okay with both of you ? brooke : it 's a good idea , ridge . you should n't be rushed . time alone , away from all the outside influences -- i think it 's exactly what you need . [ scene_break ] eric : our history -- yours , mine , and brooke 's -- is not the issue . stephanie : well , is n't that convenient ? eric : what 's important here is that you stay out of ridge 's decision . stephanie : i am not going to stay out of it , not after what brooke has done to me and to my family . she stole you from me . she stole my husband , the father of my children . eric : and you 're still bitter . stephanie : you bet i 'm bitter . you bet i 'm bitter . and i am never , never gon na forgive her . i -- i -- i compromised when taylor was gone for the sake of the children . but taylor is back now , and everything has changed . so the simple truth is , there is no end to this war between me and brooke . eric : and while you 're fighting this battle , what 's gon na happen to us , stephanie ? our marriage ? [ scene_break ] ridge : could i have a moment alone with each of you ? brooke : i 'll wait outside . ridge : i know you were hoping for more . i hate asking for this extra time . taylor : then do n't . taylor : then do n't . i 'm really kind of surprised that you even wanted to do this . i mean , i -- i would think that you know what we have . i 've been married to you a long time , ridge . i still think of myself as your wife , and it 's really tearing me apart to not be able to be with you . i want our life back . i want our marriage . i want what we shared as husband and wife . i want our home back the way it was . all of the years we 've shared together , all of the love that we have , it still lives inside of me . ridge : and in me . do n't ever doubt that . taylor : then let 's keep it . let 's keep what we have . [ scene_break ] thomas : thanks for coming out tonight . gaby : with spectra 's hottest new designer ? how could i pass that up ? thomas : you know , sally keeps telling me i have it in my blood , but between you and me , i 'm definitely counting on some guidance from my uncle thorne and clarke . ' course , i only signed on for the summer though . so maybe there 's not that much pressure . gaby : and after summer ? thomas : larchmont college , here we come . i know how much your education means to you . gaby : it was my dream , you know ? my mom 's , too . i just really wan na to make her proud of me . thomas : you will . look , i 'll make you a deal -- you help me make my folks proud , and i will make sure you have some fun . you do know how to have fun , right ? gaby : hmm , fun . maybe you could show me how ? thomas : i hope you do n't mind a little sand between your toes . gaby : uh , what did you have in mind ? thomas : do you want to go see the ocean ? gaby : up close ? thomas : as close as you want to get . let 's go . gaby : it 's so pretty tonight . thomas : it 's beautiful , is n't it ? watch out , there you go . gaby : thanks . [ gaby laughs ] thomas : look at the ocean . is this better ? gaby : yeah . i love the ocean at night . i just can imagine all the life below the surface . thomas : i wanted to do that all night . gaby : i wanted you to do that all night . i do n't know what it is . whenever i 'm with you , i just -- i feel so -- thomas : i feel it , too . [ scene_break ] eric : tell me , when did i stop mattering to you ? stephanie : what are you talking about ? of course you matter to me . it 's just , when it comes to brooke , we -- we differ . eric : no , you 're missing my point . stephanie : and what is it ? eric : i 've lost you . i 've lost my loving , caring wife , who put me and our marriage first . i look at you now , and all i see is a bully -- a woman who 's absolutely intent on meddling in everyone else 's lives , and it just -- i 've -- you 've got to stop this crusade . stephanie : eric , it 's brooke who 's at fault here , not me . eric : look , even if that were true -- if brooke really were the despicable person that you say she is -- why would n't thorne or ridge -- why would n't i hold that against her ? [ stephanie laughs ] stephanie : well , you know , that 's something that i have never been able to figure out . eric : it 's because she 's a feeling , human being , stephanie . eric : i 'm talking about us . i 'm talking about you and me . i need you . i need my friend . not stephanie the warrior , the manipulator , not this person who 's become someone so full of hate . that 's a person i want nothing to do with . [ scene_break ] [ knocking on door ] brooke : she 's upset with you . she thought she had it all wrapped up . so did stephanie . ridge : you 're not upset with me ? brooke : no , no , not at all . i see this as a positive sign . 'cause i have faith in you , in us . your decision is just what i needed after your mother 's worked so hard to get rid of me . but you know , your mother can plot , and taylor can analyze all she wants . they can take their swings at me , but they 'll never understand what we have . and i am going to be everything to you -- a determined and confident woman . ridge : and i have n't decided anything yet . brooke : i know . and i have to admit , when you brought up the beach house , i did get a little intimidated . ridge : why , because it 's taylor 's ? brooke : you and taylor share some wonderful memories there . and it is her home court advantage . but i have my ways of making you forget all about that . ridge : now logan , it 's not that kind of meeting . brooke : we 'll see about that . ridge : how can you be so charming at times like these ? brooke : because today is a victory for me . you needed clarity . you knew just where to find it . today , i walked into this room the underdog . but i feel like the favorite . because every time i 'm alone with you , i feel like everything else just disappears , and there 's nothing left in the world but you and me and the connection we share . our love , like so many times before -- our love will prevail . | thomas and gaby grow closer as they share their first romantic kiss . stephanie and eric continue to argue very heatedly over stephanie 's manipulations . eric tells her that he ca n't stand to be around the woman she has turned into . ridge disappoints taylor and makes brooke very happy when he tells them that he has n't made a decision yet . he needs to spend more time alone with each of them . he proposes one day alone with each of them at the beach house before he can chose . |
rick : phoebe , it 's rick . um , listen , you really need to call me back , okay . i 'm sorry i 've been acting strange lately , it 's just that i 'm going through something right now , and it does n't make a lot of sense to me , maybe that 's because it does n't really make any sense at all . but , please , call me back . i love you . brooke : ridge did not shoot grant chambers , he only said he did to cover it up , and protect you . that is the truth . [ phone rings ] rick : phoebe ! thank god . brooke : no , it 's me . how are you ? rick : mom , no . i ca n't talk to you right now . brooke : rick , please , do n't hang up . i 'm worried about you . rick : oh , you 're worried ? you 're worried that i might go on another shooting spree ? brooke : no , no that 's not it . listen to me -- rick : no , mom , you listen to me . i did not shoot grant chambers , all right ? and i 'm not going to say that i did , just to get the charges against ridge reduced . brooke : honey , that 's not what this is about ! rick : mom ! of course that 's what this is about ! ridge is manipulating the situation again . and you and taylor are buying it , hook , line , and sinker . brooke : rick , please . rick : mom , i 'm sorry . i ca n't talk right now . i 've got to go . [ scene_break ] bridget : hey . rick : where have you been ? bridget : well , i went for a walk on the beach , why ? rick : well , should n't you be at the hospital by now ? bridget : oh , i took the day off . is that okay with you ? rick : yeah , it 's just umm -- i 'm surprised to see you so mellow . you 've been wigging out the past few days . does that mean that -- bridget : no , it just means that i should n't have jumped to the worst case scenario . i should have given the hospital more of a chance to thoroughly investigate the situation . but i met with the chief of staff , and some of the members of the hospital board -- rick : okay , hang on . are you trying to tell me that they 're going to white wash this situation ? bridget : no , i 'm just trying to tell you that they 're protecting the reputation as one of the best medical facilities in the country . a reputation , by the way , that 's very well deserved . rick : yeah , okay , fine . but that does n't make them immune from making mistakes , bridget . bridget : i did n't say that , rick . rick : oh really ? okay , maybe not those kinds of mistakes . which they 're obviously trying to impress upon you . bridget : look , let 's just say that i have more of a perspective now . rick : great , well i really wish i had known that before is stopped by taylor 's office yesterday . bridget : what ? you saw taylor . oh no , rick , please , please tell me you did n't say anything to her .

[ scene_break ] rick : bridget , relax . i did n't say anything to taylor . bridget : oh , thank god . rick : no , i realized early on in the conversation , you two had n't talked , so i just did n't go there . bridget : good . thank you . rick : but look , i 'm still wondering -- i know the chief of staff at the hospital is reassuring you . and that 's great . but are you sure he 's not just telling you what you need to hear ? bridget : rick -- rick : no , no . listen . you said it yourself , the hospital has a reputation to protect .

[ scene_break ] nick : you 're sure that 's how this came down ? brooke : yes . nick : rick has no memory of it ? no recollection at all ? of course , until forrester opened his big mouth . brooke : if you 're insinuating that ridge did -- nick : no , i 'm not insinuating anything . brooke : nobody wanted it to come out like that . especially ridge . nick : so what happens now ? brooke : rick is furious with taylor and me . nick : of course he is . he thinks you believe forrester , that you 've taken his side . brooke : he thinks that ridge concocted the whole story to get a lighter sentence . nick : it 's understandable why he 'd think that . brooke : do n't , nick . i just told you -- nick : i heard what you said . but the real question is to you . what do you want to have happen ? do you want forrester out of jail and your son potentially in ? or do you want to leave things the way they are ?

[ sighs ] you guys have a relationship , you 're married , you have a son together . you talk about respecting marriage . how is this respecting marriage ? bill : tell me this does n't feel good . brooke : it 's just wrong . bill : then why does it feel so right ? liam : we were this close . i was so certain , you know , that -- that the minister was a fraud , that your marriage was illegal , that you and i would finally get to be together . god knows we deserve it after everything we 've lost . not even lost . after everything quinn took from us . hey . i - i know . i know what 's going on . i know you 're trying to honor your marriage . but you had to see that -- that opening there where you could have been free . steffy : but i 'm not free . i made vows to love and honor wyatt . your brother and i -- we got close while you were gone . [ voice breaking ] and it was a connection that i was n't looking for , but it just turned into so much more . and it does n't mean that i do n't love you any less , because i do n't . i just -- i ca n't keep doing this anymore , liam -- seeing you grasping at hope that something 's gon na change , when we both know that it 's not . i 'm sorry . i 'm -- i 'm sorry about what quinn did to you , to us , but ... you heard what your father said . liam : yeah , loud and clear . as much as i want to keep fighting , as much as i wish that were my ring on your finger , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na try to do what he says . i 'm gon na try to respect your marriage . i 'm gon na try , steffy . i 'll try . but never think that changes how i feel about you . as long as you 're married to my brother , fine . i 'll just -- i 'll live with the memories . but know this -- not for a second will i ever stop loving you . | bill calls a meeting . katie tries to get romantic since she was the first one here . she says he is being very secretive . steffy and wyatt come in next and liam is last . bill tells them to shut up . he wants them to get along . he demands that liam respect wyatt 's marriage and wants to make that crystal clear . ridge finds sasha and wants to promote her to a higher stage .more photo shoots , more hours , more press coverage and she will be working more closely with zende unless that is a problem . she jumps at the chance . zende tells nicole that her mom forgiving her dad is huge but he hears now that maya and rick want to leave l. a. nicole hopes it will not come to that now that they have their family here . liam asks if bill is through lecturing him . bill says he is not lecturing . he is just telling him what he expects . wyatt and steffy 's marriage is legal and nothing is going to change that . wyatt says he and steffy will do all they can to bring this family back together . katie steps in and tells liam that she and bill have had their problems but in the end they love each other and want to stay a family so they forgive each other . brooke comes in and katie says this is perfect . they were just talking about commitment , family and love . the others leave and bill tells liam that he loves him and is counting on him not to let him down . katie hugs bill and says she knows he loves her and she loves him too . brooke looks on . |
quinn : [ sighs ] oh , no ! [ gasping ] [ bullets ricocheting ] [ breathing heavily ] [ ricocheting continues ] sheila : i did n't shoot at your wife . eric : history would suggest otherwise . sheila : i understand it 's hard for you to believe me . i do n't even expect you to . you do n't have to listen to anything that i say because the evidence -- it 's gon na speak for itself . quinn : [ breathing heavily ] [ bang ] aah ! deacon ! [ breathing heavily ] thank god you 're here ! oh ! deacon : that 's not exactly the reception i was expecting , but i 'll take it . quinn : you got to help me . deacon : help you what -- off the floor ? what are you doing crawling around down there ? quinn : get down now ! i 'm serious ! somebody 's trying to kill me ! brooke : great . thank you , sawyer . sawyer : absolutely . thank you for signing . brooke : okay . ridge : hi . brooke : oh . i thought you went home . ridge : uh , i forgot ... my sketches . um ... there 's something you should know . brooke : mm - hmm ? ridge : we found out who shot at quinn . brooke : who ? ridge : you 're not gon na believe this . sheila carter . eric : you just happened to be innocently walking by when quinn was shot at ? you expect anyone to believe that ? [ buzzer sounds ] sheila : i told you ... i 'm here to make amends , eric . you know , spending time in jail might have made things right with the state , but i 've got a ways to go -- with you , all the people that i hurt . eric : i 'm not interested in helping you feel good about the things you 've done to my family over the years , or anyone . sheila : i do n't even dream that anyone will ever forgive me for all of the horrible things that i 've done . but if one person could ... i 'd want that to be you . eric : here 's a friendly tip on how to ask someone 's forgiveness . do n't shoot at his wife . katie : winners and losers -- that 's the kind of world we live in , a world where people like me are alone and people like you go home to a beautiful man who loves her . you have no idea what it 's like to lose . maybe i should just do it and get rid of you once and for all . katie : [ sighs ] quinn : are you deaf ? ! get down ! deacon : someone 's trying to kill you how ? quinn : they 've been shooting at me -- second time -- out on the terrace . i need to call the police . deacon : all right . all right . hold on . i got it . i got it . you 're in no shape to call . turns out life on the hill is a little more dangerous than you thought , huh ? quinn : are you seriously making a joke right now ? deacon : yeah . we need the police over here at the forrester estate . someone 's using it for target practice . it 's , uh , something something willow hill roa -- quinn : 369 ! deacon : 369 willow hill road . yeah . yeah , as soon as you can . yeah , lady 's pretty upset . apparently , she do n't like being shot at , if you know what i mean . quinn : are you drunk ? deacon : no . i do n't get drunk -- not anymore . i mean , i may have a few drinks every now and then . quinn : oh , for heaven 's sakes , you fool , just get down ! there 's a shooter out there ! if you want to die , that 's fine by me , but not in my living room . deacon : i do n't think i 've ever seen you so scared . quinn : i do n't usually have bullets flying by my head , do i ? deacon : do n't you worry . i 'm here now . i 'll take care of you . quinn : [ sighs ] ridge : it makes sense , does n't it ? quinn is being shot at , and then ... brooke : and then we find out that sheila 's here . yes , it makes sense . it explains everything . ridge : thankfully , she 's in custody , so ... we do n't have to worry about her going after quinn anymore . sheila : i thought it might be this way , that you 'd only focus on the bad times . eric : what was good between us does n't matter . sheila : i was hoping for some kind of acknowledgement , eric . it 'd be so good to hear you admit that there was a part of you that did care for me once . eric : i married you , sheila . sheila : you know why i 've been working on myself so hard , on my rehabilitation ? it 's because in my darkest times , there 's a small part of me that remembered the way you looked at me , how it felt to be your wife , the woman that i was before everything went so bad , violent . i paid my dues . i did . i sat in my cell , and i remembered every horrible thing i have ever said , the hideous things that i had done , and some of those , i 'm the only one that knew what they were . i 'm coming out of it . i 'm coming out on the other side of it . i 'm becoming the woman that deserved to be with you . eric : i 'm a happily married man , sheila . sheila : no , no , no , no . no . a woman that is capable of being loved by a man like you , eric -- that 's what i meant ... because of my actions , my words , my kindness . and whether you 're receptive to it or not is beside the point . eric : what about the restraining order ? is it still in effect ? i know it 's been years , but is it still there ? lt . baker : it was permanent . showing up at katie logan 's house was a big mistake , ms . carter . its proximity to the forrester estate means that you were in violation of the restraining order . sheila : eric ... i apologize . i did n't think that it would matter . i did n't even know it was still in effect . lt . baker : well , it does matter . sheila carter ... you are under arrest . quinn : did the 911 operator say when ? deacon : soon , i think . quinn : [ sighs ] deacon : shh , shh , shh . quinn : what ? what ? deacon : i -- no , i guess not . quinn : what ? no , no , no , no . you could have heard something . i mean ... the shooter could be out there . they could be on the property . they could be in the house . deacon : yeah , they could be . what makes you so sure that the shooter 's on the property , anyway ? quinn : because the first shot sounded like it came from really far away , but the second one , it sounded -- it sounded closer . i mean , we just -- we have to be grateful that whoever it is a really bad shot . deacon : i mean , it could be a sharpshooter . you know , i mean , wind conditions -- they can affect your aim . tell you what -- let 's have ourselves a drink , huh ? where 's that husband of yours ? he 's always walking around , mixing martinis . quinn : be careful , deacon ! deacon : i 'm not the one getting shot at , now , am i ? hey , you know who it might be ? quinn : who ? deacon : could be mr. martini himself -- eric . quinn : that 's the most ridiculous thing i 've ever heard . deacon : oh , quinn , come on . it 's the husband . it 's always the husband . tell you what ... let 's have ourselves a little drink to the good old days . quinn : with you ? deacon : mmm . you never cared about me at all , did you ? you never wanted me . you wanted a forrester . brooke : keep me posted , okay ? i want to know if she ends up getting released , so if she ends up on my doorstep , i 'm gon na do something about it . ridge : well , do n't worry about that . after what sheila has done , she 's not gon na get released anytime soon . sheila : i 'm under arrest ? lt . baker : for violating the restraining order and for the attempted murder of quinn forrester . sheila : oh , no , but i did n't . eric , you must believe me . i swear i never tried to kill your wife . i did n't even know i was violating a restraining order . lt . baker : you have the right to remain silent . sheila : no . eric . lt . baker : anything you say can and will be used ... sheila : eric , please say something . i did n't try to kill anyone . i swear . lt . baker : if you can not afford one , one will be provided for you . sheila : please say something . lt . baker : do you understand these rights as i have explained them to you ? sheila : eric . lt . baker : sheila carter , do you understand your rights ? sheila : yes . yes , i do . quinn : i do n't know what stories you 've been telling yourself , but i kicked you to the curb long before i got together with eric . deacon : see , that 's 'cause you 're smart . i give you credit for that . see , you were thinking ahead . you knew you could never con a forrester into marrying you -- i mean , you know , not with me by your side . quinn : that 's just stupid . deacon : you know what 's stupid ? stupid was me trying to help you when you 're playing make - believe with liam . i tried to be your friend . what did i get for it ? i got pushed into the ocean ... quinn : why are you bringing that up right now ? deacon : ... left for dead . you know why ? 'cause you do n't give a damn -- not about anyone but yourself . quinn : that 's not true ! deacon : you know what ? you 're right . you 're right . actually , you do give a damn about wyatt . there 's nothing you would n't do for baby boy , as long as it got the two of you further ahead , right ? you know , you leave me and sell your soul for a shot at the good life . my whole life , i 've been treated like i was nothing , and i thought maybe , just maybe , you were different . but i was wrong . you just wanted me to disappear like all the others . quinn : look ... i understand that you 're upset , and i can see how i could be partly to blame for that , but , quite frankly , i 'm having a really hard time finding any sympathy for you right now because my life is in danger , okay ? deacon : i do n't even know if i believe your little story about a shooter , hmm ? quinn : excuse me ? deacon : i mean , it is kind of hard to believe . couple months ago , maybe not . it seemed like everybody in l.a . hated you . but now -- now you got the forresters accepting you . and why would n't they ? you 're a - a sweet lady and a wonderful mother . quinn : you said yourself that you 've never seen me look so scared . deacon : i do n't know . maybe you 're playing a game with everyone . you know , maybe you 're just trying to get some sympathy . i mean , really , quinn , who would want to see you dead , except for hope ? she probably wants to see you dead . and then there 's liam . now , liam definitely wants to rid the planet of you . and bill , he -- he just plain hates your guts . so , when you think about it , actually , there are a lot of -- a lot of people . i mean , you 've done a lot of awful things ... to a lot of people ... most of all to me ... the man who trusted you ... the man who loved you . deacon : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! deacon : so , i 'd say i 've got more reason than anyone to want to see you dead . quinn : can i see your phone ? deacon : why ? quinn : i want to see how long it 's been since you called the police for help . they should be here by now . deacon : oh , come on , quinn . please . we both know i faked that call . katie : quinn ? [ camera shutter clicks ] turn to your right , please . [ camera shutter clicks ] face me . sheila : well , eric , please . you can put a stop to this . just have the restraining order lifted . i have n't done anything . i have n't come near you and your family in years ! lt . baker : it was made permanent for a reason . sheila : no , but i 'm different now . i 'm a different person . ca n't you see that ? i did n't shoot at your wife . look at me . look at my eyes . i did n't . eric : take her away . sheila : no . no . no , eric , please . please ! please , i -- please , eric ! i did n't do anything ! please , eric ! quinn : you -- you do n't have to do this , deacon . you kill me , you spend the rest of your life in prison . deacon : oh , what a shame . yeah , this wonderful life of mine -- i got so much going well for me , do n't i ? yeah . i got this fantastic job , got money flowing in , surrounded by my adoring family . gosh , i 'd really hate to throw all that away . quinn : maybe they did n't turn out the way you imagined , but -- deacon : what ? what , maybe i 'm gon na fall for somebody ? get married ? live happily ever after ? i do n't think so . i tried that . did n't work out so well . you know , i suppose maybe i ought to give you a last word -- you know , let you make peace with your maker . i think you should know something . this time i 'm not gon na miss . quinn : think about hope . she needs her father . deacon : i think about her a lot . i think about how she tried to convince me not to marry you . but , hey , i knew best ! quinn : no . come on . you were n't wrong . we were -- we were good for each other , but sometimes people , they just -- they grow apart . deacon : yeah , they do , especially when one person wants something better than what they got . you 're not gon na drink that ? i will . quinn : come on , deacon . you do n't -- you do n't need another drink . you just -- you need to sober up . you need to get help and get back on the program . if you do that , then we never need to talk about this ever again . deacon : i 'm not worried about that . i 'm not gon na say a word to anybody . why would i ? nobody knows i 'm here . katie : what 's going on ? [ gasps ] oh , my god . oh . [ cell phone rings ] ridge : hey . katie : where are you ? ridge : just got back home . katie : go to the main house ! quinn needs you ! ridge : what ? katie : just go ! i can see from my window she 's in danger ! ridge : you can see what ? katie : she 's got a gun pointed at her ! go ! hurry ! quinn : wait . wait , wait , wait . think about it . think about our wedding day . remember ? think about how -- how beautiful that was . deacon : you never even cared about me , did you ? quinn : that 's not true . i did . i swear i did . we -- we were happy once . please . deacon : you know what they say about all good things . quinn : [ gasps ] deacon , no ! ridge : you okay ? quinn : [ breathing heavily ] i am now .

brooke : ridge , i should n't be here . ridge : you think maybe we should have stopped for a burger instead ? brooke : my fiancé 's in jail , and i should be there with him right now . ridge : nick 's a big boy . he 'll survive . he 'll probably be released soon anyway . but before he is , i want you to hear what i have to say because it 's going to make all the difference here -- for you , for me and for this little baby . nick : what are we still doing here ? massimo : patience , dominick . patience , this is all gon na be cleared up very soon . nick : you keep saying that , and nothing happens . massimo : good god . fbi agent : no introductions necessary , right ? massimo : there was no reason to drag her into this . fbi agent : she acted as your courier -- fbi agent # 2 : -- which makes her an accomplice . fbi agent : and subject to indictment , along with the two of you . nick : this is insane . how many times are we gon na have to tell you guys ? massimo : never mind , please . let 's not get into it again . fbi agent : oh , but we 're going to . from the beginning . frank : agent percell . director belkin , sir . fbi agent # 2 : we were n't expecting you . massimo : frank . it 's about time you showed up . frank : well , i 'm so sorry . i was out of the country , my office was n't informed . the right hand did n't know what the left hand was doing . massimo : i thought as much . frank : your son ? massimo : yes , this is dominick . frank : your father has told me a lot about you . nick : how do you do ? i ca n't quite say the same . so this is -- massimo : mmm . nick : oh , i see . frank . very nice to meet you , frank . jackie : all right , i 'm here . what is it that you want ? deacon : whoa , whoa , whoa . first of all , you can stop with the attitude . how about that ? jackie : you called at a very inopportune moment . deacon : oh , i 'm sorry . did i interrupt a pedicure or something , jackie ? jackie : do n't be impertinent . deacon : well , then do n't give me this hoity - toity attitude . not today , i do n't need it . jackie : god , what is wrong with you ? deacon : let 's just say that this has not been my day . jackie : it has n't been my day either . massimo and nicky are in jail . they 're in jail . i mean , they need me ! deacon : yeah , well , guess what ? nicky and his fiancé need you more . jackie : what 're you talking about ? deacon : seconds , jackie . that 's how close your son and brooke were to getting married . a few measly seconds , but instead what happens -- ridge the magnificent comes busting in , and the whole thing -- jackie : we are all absolutely livid about that . but the moment nicky is released , they 're gon na get married . deacon : well , that 's assuming that ridge does n't get there first . oh , yeah that 's what 's going on right now as we speak . brooke : i honestly do n't know what 's left to say . going over it again is n't going to change a thing . ridge : brooke , do you remember the last time we were here ? brooke : the night i told you about nick and me and what happened in the foundry . ridge : yeah , how this baby was conceived . brooke : that was the hardest thing i 've ever had to do . ridge : and i just made it harder , did n't i , by the way i reacted ? brooke : no , ridge , you felt betrayed . ridge : but not by you , brooke . never by you . brooke : i ca n't do this . i have to go . ridge : no , no . you just wait . come on , hear me out here . hear me out . hear me out . you owe me this much . you owe us this much . ! a a a a a a a a ! ! a a a a a a a fbi agent : i do n't understand . apparently , there 's been some kind of mistake . frank : just figuring that out , are you ? fbi agent # 2 : sir , we had no idea -- frank : who this man is or how much he 's done for his country ? no , that 's painfully obvious . massimo : it 's all right , frank . they were only trying to do their jobs , albeit a little too enthusiastic . fbi agent : with all due respect , sir , we have documentation of bribes to foreign officials , we have flagrant violations of the foreign corrupt practices act . frank : you are hardly qualified to make that determination , agent percell . now why was i notified about this investigation from the beginning ? nick : well , boys ? we 're all dying to hear . fbi agent # 2 : we were n't aware of your friendship with mr. marone . frank : our friendship is based on my profound respect for this man 's peacekeeping efforts around the world . he has made some of our most delicate international relationships possible . he 's pumped investment dollars into regions that would otherwise have fallen into chaos , primary recruiting grounds for our enemies . and he 's undertaken massive humanitarian efforts , which have engendered goodwill and gratitude toward our country . now is any of this ringing a bell ? i am so sorry for the inconvenience , my friend . massimo : it 's okay , frank . do n't worry about it . the only thing i must say that is concerning me is the press attention that this has garnered . i mean , the possibility it might compromise our future efforts . frank : well , we 'll issue a formal public apology and dismiss all charges immediately . that should appease the public and your shareholders . massimo : thank you , frank . i knew that you 'd come through for me . frank : certainly . nick : you okay ? maya : i am now . you ? nick : i will be as soon as i get to my fiancé . hey , frank -- we free to go ? i got a lady to get to . brooke : yes , ridge , i owe you . you deserve so much better than what you 've gotten . ridge : no , that 's not what i meant . brooke : but it 's true . that 's why i ca n't stand to talk about it any more . i know what i 've done to you , and i hate it . and i know you keep blaming nick . ridge : i 'm through blaming nick . the fact is , whatever he did or did n't do , we 'd still be together brooke -- if i 'd just handled things better . but i 'm not leaving here until i convince you that i am never , never gon na let you down again . brooke : you never let me down . ridge : oh , the hell i did n't . when we found out the baby was nick 's . brooke : you were supportive . you were wonderful . ridge : yeah , well , on the inside i was a total mess . brooke : i understood . ridge : i thought you did . i admit at first i was n't sure . that 's why i let you go . and that was the biggest mistake of my life . brooke : but , ridge , it was n't a mistake . if you ca n't handle it . ridge : but i can . you still do n't get it , do you ? the only thing i ca n't handle , brooke , is living my life without you . jackie : i 'm gon na have to do something about this . deacon : i tell you what , somebody better do something . otherwise ridge is gon na put a ring on brooke 's finger . jackie : no , not ridge . you . deacon : what ? jackie : fabricating these crises every time you get lonely . deacon : fabri -- is that what you think i 'm doing ? i 'm making this up ? jackie : yes , yes . do n't deny it . deacon : you know what ? you are a real piece of work , lady . jackie : what i am is married , happily married thank you . deacon : oh , that did n't seem to stop you the other night , did it ? jackie : do n't you dare bring up the other night . because you do n't yourself any favors reminding me how you took advantage . deacon : oh is that how it happened ? jackie : yes , it is . you 've been manipulating me since the first moment we met . i think that you get some kind of perverse pleasure out of contriving these emergencies and sending me into a panic , but you 're just going to have to get your jollies somewhere else . because i am through -- through coming over here every time . deacon : time out . listen to me , first of all i 'm not contriving anything . ridge is . right now he is -- right now , jackie , he is in hot pursuit of brooke . and if you do n't do something about , right now -- jackie : no , i know where ridge is . i happen to know that ridge has been at a family gathering at his parents ' house . his brother 's wedding , in fact . deacon : really ? well , then you probably know that ridge brought a date with him . do you want to know who it is ? brooke ! jackie : that ca n't be right . you were mistaken . deacon : jackie , i do n't like this any better than you do . jackie : where are you getting your information ? deacon : okay , i got a buddy , he 's a limo driver -- jackie : ah -- deacon : stop , listen to me . he goes to pick ridge and his kids up to go to the wedding . they make a stop -- brooke 's . jackie : she would n't do that . nicky is still behind bars . deacon : well , you know what they say , jackie -- when the cats -- jackie : no , she loves nicky . he told me she went to see him . they were still discussing the wedding plans . deacon : you know , apparently , plans have changed . jackie : you know , even if she did go , it was a family event . deacon : they were definitely acting like a family . jackie : yeah , right , according to your friend , the limo driver . what does he know ? deacon : well , for one thing , he knows where they are -- together -- alone together . jackie : i do n't believe it . deacon : what part of this are n't you believing ? you know how ridge is with brooke , you know how brooke is with ridge . i mean , come on ! the longer the captain is mia -- jackie : will you just stop it , okay ? ! brooke loves nicky . she 's carrying his child . and i do n't care what ridge says or what ridge does . nothing he does is going to affect that . deacon : listen -- listen to me . they went to the wedding together . they 're still together . anyway you slice it , this is not good , not for anyone involved . massimo : ah , yeah . it is good to be home . nick : listen , you look kind of tired . why do n't you go upstairs and take it easy , huh ? massimo : yeah , well , i think i 'm gon na go look for your mother first . nick : i do n't know why she did n't answer here when we called . she did n't pick up on her cell , nothing . i do n't like that . massimo : yeah . well , maybe hudson knows where she is . i 'll be back . massimo : hey , it 's funny . i ca n't find hudson either . hmm . thinking about the wedding ? [ nick sighs ] nick : i 'd be on my honeymoon right now if it was n't for forrester . massimo : son , you 'll pick up right where you left off . nick : yes , i will . massimo : so what are you waiting for ? ridge : i 'm right , are n't i ? your decision to leave , to marry nick all comes from that one night when i could n't make love to you . brooke : i do n't want to talk about this . ridge : but we have to , brooke . we have to talk about it . if -- god , if i could just go back in time here . brooke : you would hide it better ? i needed to know how you felt , ridge . and who could blame you ? ridge : well , it was just my initial reaction , the shock of it all . brooke : no , it was more than that , and you know it . ridge : it does n't really matter now , because i am over it , brooke . believe me , i am over it . you do n't believe me , do you ? [ phone rings ] ridge : let it ring . brooke : oh , ridge , it could be news about nick . ridge : that can wait . this ca n't . why ca n't i get through to you here ? is n't it obvious how much i love you , how much i want and need you ? brooke : yes , it is . but it 's not enough , not for my son . nick : come on , come on . where the hell are you ? jackie : where are they ? deacon : they 're having dinner , and in the private dining room at ridge 's club . jackie : god , has that man got absolutely no shame ? deacon : well , what do you want , jackie ? the guy 's fighting for the woman he loves . jackie : yeah , who happens to be carrying my son 's child . deacon : well , be that as it may , ridge is putting on a full court press here . and guess what ? it 's working . jackie : you do n't know that . deacon : what do you mean i do n't know that ? they were at the wedding together . right now , they 're at their favorite romantic spot together . now , if i was a betting man , which i happen to be , i would say things are looking pretty bleak for the captain and brooke , which means that they ai n't looking too good for me either unless they tie the -- jackie : you ? deacon : yes , me ! jackie : ah , because nick got brooke to let you back into hope 's life . deacon : jackie , if he 's out of the picture , so am i . that is not gon na happen . i am not gon na lose her -- not after everything that i 've done to get to this point . jackie : hey , hey , hey , hey . i think you 're just overreacting , deacon . i mean , look , brooke and ridge have had plenty of very private conversations in very romantic places . deacon : will you take your head out of -- take your head out of the sand , okay , jackie ? the only way -- the only way that i 'm gon na be a father to hope is if brooke goes back to nick . you see , i 've got everything on the line right now . jackie : you 're not the only one , deacon . there 's a lot at stake here . deacon : i do n't care . she 's the only -- i care about you , too , but if brooke goes back to ridge -- jackie : it 's not gon na happen . deacon : why ? i 'm sorry , why is n't it gon na happen , because you say it 's not ? i know forrester 's m.o . he is gon na go in there , and he is gon na sweep her off her feet . he does n't give a damn , baby or no baby . jackie : deacon , you are being utterly ridiculous , because brooke wants to raise her baby -- deacon : okay , okay . you know what ? you keep saying that , all right ? as long as ridge thinks that the baby 's nick 's , then we got no problem . jackie : what do you mean , as long as he thinks the baby is nick 's ? the baby is nick 's . deacon , you had those tests run again . you told me that nicky is the father of brooke 's baby . okay , give them to me . deacon : what ? jackie : give them to me . the test results -- deacon : i do n't -- i do n't have them . i do n't have them . jackie : why do n't you have them ? deacon : because i burned them . jackie : you burned them ? you burned them ? why would you burn them unless -- ? oh , my god . nicky is n't the father of brooke 's baby , is he ? you lied to me , deacon . you lied to me ! you lied to me ! brooke : i know you love me . i do n't doubt that . but this baby -- ridge : -- i love it , too . brooke : you say that , and i know you want to believe it 's true . ridge : it is true , brooke . it is true . yes , technically , he 's not my child . so what ? we were gon na raise hope together . we were raising her together . do you think that made any difference in the way i treated her or loved her ? brooke : no . ridge : no . well , why would this be any different ? brooke : because this is nick 's child , and nick is your brother . and the way it happened , you 'll never forget . i wanted to believe you could forget it , but that night , when you could n't touch me , you could n't even looked at me , and you were repulsed by this baby growing inside of me -- ridge : no , no . brooke : ridge , i know it 's not your fault . but i could see that you were trying to pretend , and i knew , the same way this baby would know . ridge : that 's what you 've been afraid of ? brooke : my child deserves to be loved . ridge : i do love him , brooke . i love him because he 's a part of you . brooke : and he 's also a part of nick . what happens if he looks like him , if he sounds like him , if he acts like him ? is that going to bother you ? ridge : no , no . brooke : ridge , i know that you said you 're willing to accept him , you 're willing to raise him and maybe -- maybe even love him . but how does that compare to a father that already loves him , who adores him , who ca n't wait to accept him and bring him into this world ? i can not ask my son to settle for less . i just ca n't , no matter how much i love you . and i will always -- always love you . but i ca n't . | ridge continues to try to convince brooke to marry him instead of nick . brooke claims that she just ca n't do that . she knows that ridge would eventually end up resenting the baby . the head of the fbi finally shows up at the jail . he just happens to be very good friends with massimo and gets things straightened out so that they are free to go . they both go home to look for their loved ones . massimo ca n't find jacking , and nick does n't know where brooke is either . deacon worries that ridge is going to talk brooke back into his life . jackie tries to calm him down , until deacon tells her that he burned the results of the dna tests that he ran . she then realizes that he burned them to hide the truth . ridge really is the father of brooke 's baby . |
taylor : a press conference ? megan : eric called it . taylor : why ? why ? i wanted to find my father first . megan : i understand that , taylor , but when ava saw you earlier , she could n't stop talking . it took about ten minutes for the entire building to find out that you 're alive . ridge : taylor -- taylor : ridge , your dad just called a press conference . megan : he just wants to stay ahead of the rumors which are flying . ridge : maybe it 's better this way . taylor : better for my dad to read about this ? ridge : it 's obviously going to happen . let 's just go with it . let 's do it in style , okay ? come on , let 's go find you something great to wear .

( sighs ) brooke : are you okay ? donna : look , i 've been going through something . it 's totally unexpected . i mean , it 's -- it 's a blessing , but yet , at the same time , anyone who 's been sticking pins in their donna logan doll hoping for a scandal , well , they -- they might just get their wish . brooke : what kind of scandal ? donna : i have -- i have a son . [ scene_break ] marcus : oh , kicked upstairs already , huh ? that was fast . steffy : cream rises . what can i say ? marcus : no , for real ? you got promoted ? steffy : ( sighs ) yeah , to junior grand pooh - bah in charge of delivering packages and stuff . marcus : wow . i 'm in the presence of greatness . steffy : mm . marcus : so what were you working on ? something for your dad ? steffy : sort of . look , i - i hope you 're not bugged with me . marcus : why ? 'cause of your meteoric rise through shipping and receiving ? steffy : because i was asking about donna , why she 'd go out of her way to get you a job here ? marcus : ( laughs ) nope , i was n't mad . i was flattered . steffy : flattered ? marcus : yeah , because you wanted to find out so much information about me because i 'm so fascinating . steffy : right . marcus : right . well , look , if i want to make senior grand pooh - bah and boss you around , i 'd better get back to it . [ scene_break ] jackie : oh , nicky , that is just such wonderful news . i mean , bridget and her family -- they must be ... ( sighs ) so relieved . nick : what a roller coaster , mother . thanks to bridget , she 's alive . she 's upstairs and doing well . jackie : ( sighs ) a toast to two remarkable young women . nick : hear , hear . jackie : how 's katie doing ? nick : you know , she 's awake , and she 's with it , still weak as a kitten . jackie : mm . of course she is -- poor love . nick : it 'll be a while before she gets her strength back . mother , i got ta tell you -- bridget -- she was unbelievable . i ca n't even believe she 's standing after two days of pounding on that laptop , but she was tenacious . she was n't stopping till she got her answer . jackie : surely , you deserve some of the credit . nick : me ? jackie : yes , you . nick : mother , you may not know this , but i 'm not a doctor . jackie : yet you may have given katie the most powerful medicine that there is -- the will to keep on living . nick : the time i spent with that girl was amazing . but the fact is if it was n't for bridget , she 's be in a morgue right now instead of upstairs planning a new life . [ scene_break ] katie : i still just ca n't believe this . everyone said that there was no hope , the transplant was n't gon na take . and now this ... bridget : katie , i would have never , ever told you that you were dying if i did n't believe it myself . katie : yeah , but from what everyone tells me , you did n't want to accept it . you just kept looking for a solution until you found one . bridget : ( sighs ) i just was n't sure at first . but then i -- katie : i 'm glad you did n't give up . not a lot of people would have persisted . bridget : i love you , katie . i love you so much . i would have never given up . katie : i do n't know how i 'm ever gon na thank you . bridget : just keep getting better . that 's all the thanks i 'm gon na need . katie : you saved my life ... bridget : no . katie : not once , but twice . i owe you so much . bridget : katie , i do n't look at it like that at all . katie : why ? because you 're a doctor ? bridget : ( laughs ) no , not because i 'm a doctor . because so many people were praying for you . i look back on it now , and i did n't just stumble on an answer . i was guided to it . i really believe that . when a patient is healed , i think it 's god 's decision . a lot of us that practice medicine believe that we 're just god 's hands here on earth . katie : that 's beautiful . but i 'd like to give you a little credit . ( laughs ) bridget : nick wanted to come talk to you after my exam , so i 'm gon na go tell him he can come up now . katie : ( whispers ) okay . [ scene_break ] nick : i ca n't believe what i 've been through . i ca n't believe what i 've just witnessed . mother , if i ever have to stare death in the face , would you please remind me of the courage that katie 's shown ? jackie : ( sighs ) yep , she 's quite a woman . nick : we 've basically gone from no hope at all to she 's alive . she 's gon na make it . jackie : i am just so glad for everyone , nicky . i mean , it 's obvious how happy and -- and thrilled you are . bridget : ( sighs ) all right , i 'm through upstairs , so you can go see katie . jackie : is she okay ? bridget : she is getting stronger and stronger by the minute . jackie : oh . nick : great . bridget : ( laughs ) so nick filled you in ? jackie : ohh , yes . he did , indeed . it seems you performed quite a miracle . bridget : oh , mnh - mnh . it was n't me . i was just telling katie upstairs that god definitely had his hand in this one . jackie : bridget , do n't you ever , ever sell yourself short . [ scene_break ] thorne : it 's ridiculous . felicia : hey , sorry i 'm late . ridge : it 's all right . steffy : sorry to bug you , guys , but i knew you 'd want to hear this . felicia : no , it 's okay . but what is it , sweetie ? steffy : marcus got hired without a background check . thorne : what ? ridge : how 'd you find this out ? steffy : aunt pam accidentally let it slip , along with his personnel file . thorne : well , that 's our pammy . ( sighs ) ridge : i do n't understand this . i mean , we always check out everyone we do n't know -- past employment , police records . felicia : three guesses who vouched for him , and the first two do n't count . thorne : donna . what the hell is up with her and this kid ? steffy : there 's almost nothing in his file . they copied his driver 's license from texas , and he filled out an application , but that 's it . ridge : okay , we got ta get to the bottom of this pronto . marcus : oh , excuse me . i dropped off some packages before . um , i forgot this one . um , is there some problem i should know about ? [ scene_break ] brooke : in high school , that semester away ... donna : mom and storm were the only ones that knew . i was -- brooke : ( sighs ) donna : i was really staying with aunt bonnie . look , you and katie were never supposed to find out . ( sighs ) but katie could tell that i was rattled about something , and -- and she pulled it out of me . and now i - i want you to know , too . brooke : so you had a little boy , and you gave him up for adoption . and all these years , you never told anybody ? donna : ( sighs ) i know . i know i - i should have -- i should have told eric . i should have told him before i got married . i -- brooke : ( sighs ) well , you chose not to . donna : go ahead . say it . i - i 'm -- i 'm no better than stephanie with all of her lies and keeping secrets from him . brooke : no . having a child with somebody does n't even compare to all the horrible things that stephanie 's done all these years . besides , that was a long time ago . and yes , eric should be told , but it does n't mean he has to find out tomorrow . donna : yeah . well , he -- he might . ( laughs ) brooke : how ? donna : my son -- his name is marcus , and he works here , brooke , at forrester . [ scene_break ] ridge : what makes you think there 's a problem , marcus ? marcus : i just feel a little tension here . that 's all . and if i 'm the problem , i 'd like to know . ( intercom buzzes ) felicia : mm . ridge : ( sighs ) yeah ? yeah , he 's here . did she say why ? all right , i 'll tell him . that was madison . brooke wants you to know that she and donna are waiting for you in eric 's office . marcus : okay . thanks . thorne : brooke and donna both ? now what the hell is that about ? ridge : madison did n't know . brooke just wanted her to track him down . thorne : ( sighs ) felicia : curiouser and curiouser . [ scene_break ] donna : what better way to get to know my son than to interact with him every day ? and then once eric sees what a wonderful young man he is , he will accept him . brooke : it 'll soften the blow somehow . donna : ( sighs ) oh , but eric is -- he 's so kind , brooke , and compassionate and understanding . you should know . you were married to him once . brooke : yes , i - i do . i understand . but still , there are certain things that you should -- ( door opens ) marcus : um , madison gave this to me to give to you as long as i was on my -- brooke : uh , excuse us . we 're busy . donna : brooke , we -- we just called for him . this is my son . this is marcus . brooke : oh . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] nick : well , that 's a good sign . katie : oh , it feels good to me , too . nick : you are looking better and better every time i walk in here . katie : ( sighs ) i just ca n't believe it turned out like this . nick : ( sighs ) well , it almost did n't . you know , when bridget came marching in here yesterday with this i.v . bag and started to hook you up , i stood strong to your wishes . i was honoring what you wanted -- to die a peaceful death . but bridget got her way . ( laughing ) thank god , for both of us , she did . katie : ( laughs ) yeah . nick : the prom you should have had ... and finally did . katie : it was the best night of my life , a dying girl 's dream come true . ( laughs ) nick : ( laughs ) except the girl did n't die . katie : yeah . ( laughs ) i will treasure the memories you gave me ... always . [ scene_break ] bridget : ( high - pitched voice ) hey , say bye - bye . say bye - bye to mommy . bye ! ( normal voice ) bye . ( high - pitched voice ) hey !

( squeals ) mwah . mwah . mwah . mwah . mwah . oh , sweetheart . yeah ? did you already have dinner ? i bet you already had dinner , huh ? [ scene_break ] steffy : we ca n't pull his credit report or criminal record online unless we pay . thorne : well , i think we can afford it . steffy : except how do we know which sites are reputable ? ridge : well , some may not have good information . they could be inaccurate or incomplete . felicia : look , just because `` prima donna `` waived the background check does n't mean we ca n't order one . ridge : i just do n't want to risk tipping her off , not until we know what the hell we 're looking for here . steffy : his license says beaumont , texas . ridge : texas ? has donna ever been there ? thorne : no clue . ridge : look , steffy , just so you know , this is not a witch - hunt . i have nothing personal against marcus . steffy : i know . ridge : it 's just that donna 's proving to be a severe liability for this company . that makes me want to know everything i can about this kid . [ scene_break ] brooke : ( sighs ) donna : sis , i 'd like you to meet marcus walton . brooke : how do you do ? marcus : great , thanks . i was real relieved to hear about your sister katie . brooke : thank you . that 's very kind of you . ( sighs ) i 've had such a big day already . marcus : yeah , and now i 'm here . surprise . brooke : ( laughs ) yes . well , um , uh , forgive me for snapping at you the way that i did when you first walked in . marcus : no problem . i have an idea what y ' all been going through . i mean , your family , i mean . brooke : correction , marcus . your family . you 're a part of us now . welcome . donna : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] jackie : did your grandma tell you more than a hundred times today how much she loves you ? ( laughs ) why are you looking at me like that ? bridget : because i know you . i know the way your mind works . jackie : meaning ? bridget : meaning when you told me not to sell myself short earlier , i know you were driving at something . so come on . out with it . jackie : you 're a very humble person , bridget . y - you 're very modest . it truly is one of your loveliest qualities . yet you 're outrageously gifted . i 'm -- i do n't know a soul that does n't admire you . i just want you to know that in my book , it 's all right for you to toot your own horn once in a while . that 's all . bridget : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] nick : this may sound a little strange , uh , but it was a real privilege and an honor to share what we thought were your last moments with you . katie : ( sighs ) everyone 's been talking about how brave i 've been . but i have to be honest . i have n't felt very brave . i just keep thinking about that day on the beach , staring out at that beautiful ocean that we both love . i just kept thinking , maybe -- maybe it would be easier if i just let it wash me away , if i just let this be over . i think from the moment i woke up in the hospital and i found out what storm had done and why he had done it , there 's been a part of me that wanted to just lay down and die with him , and i thought , why fight it ? why not just let fate decide ? i did n't realize what a second chance i had been given until you made me see it . you made me want to wake up in the morning . you made me want to look forward to the day . you made me see that that day on `` the marlin , `` and our prom night was just a beginning . you made me realize what i 'd been missing , what i 'd taken for granted . you made me want to live , and i know i 'm not telling you anything that you do n't already know , because you have this uncanny ability to know what i 'm feeling before i 'm even feeling it . and i do n't want to hide from it any longer . i do n't want to hide from life ever again . i want to say it , because it was there on the beach , and it was there when you held me in your arms and we danced and when you carried me up the stairs to this bed . you have brought magic into my life ... and i love you . and i do n't care who hears me say it . i love you . | donna confides to brooke that she hopes their lives can get back to normal . but if there are naysayers out there who want to stick the pin in the donna logan doll , she has a so - called scandal that might do it . she has a son . she tells brooke that eric is wonderful and kind and generous ; he will get to know marcus and love him as much as she does . but it 's brooke who has her mouth left on the floor when she is introduced to marcus . she quickly gets over her shock and welcomes him openly . jackie and nick share a toast over the two remarkable women upstairs . katie tells bridget she owes bridget her life , not once , but twice . she will always be grateful . katie thanks nick again for her wonderful prom night , and the only difference is the princess did n't die . steffy takes a peek at marcus ' personnel file that pam left for her to see . she shows it to her father , thorne and felicia . they all think eric should see it pronto . marcus got employment here even though he had no background check . |

[ jackie sighs ] ridge : remember the ultrasound ? remember when we saw that ? huh ? i saw that little guy swimming around in there and my heart just leapt . it felt the same as when i saw my own kids , brooke , for the first time . there was no difference whatsoever . it felt just like my own kids . brooke : ridge , it 's one thing when he has n't been born yet . you can imagine what it 'll be like . but what about when he is here and he 's half nick 's ? ridge : i know there are gon na be a few common things , you know . brooke : ridge , i 'm being serious . ridge : what i 'm trying to say to you , brooke , is that it is not going to be a problem . brooke : maybe you would n't have a problem with it . but nick , he would be thrilled ! he would love those things . do n't you think my baby deserves that ? to have somebody that is so excited about every little thing ? ridge : yes , of course he deserves that . and he 'll have that from nick . nick can provide that . i want you to think about this . you said that kids can sense things . well , what 's he gon na sense from you , when you 're married to someone you do n't love ? i know you care about nick , i know you respect him , and all that . but it 's not like it is with you and me . you know that . do n't you think your son 's gon na pick up on that ? brooke : ridge , stop ! i do n't know . i do n't know what to do . ridge : i 'll tell you exactly what you need to do , brooke . you need to follow your heart . brooke : a lot of good that 's done for me . ridge : yeah . look what a lot of good it 's done . it 's brought us to here , right now . the two of us . on the brink of the life that we 've always wanted for so long . oh , brooke , it may not be perfect , that life we want , but it 's a helluva lot closer than most people get . and you know what ? it 's the most important thing i 've ever wanted in my life . you and me could give this little child the most incredible , incredible life , brooke . i 'm telling you -- and all you have to do is say yes . and everything will come together , i promise you , brooke . just say the word . brooke : yes . ridge : excuse me ? i did n't hear . brooke : yes . i said , yes , ridge . ridge : ahhh ! come here . come here . god -- brooke : do you think we 're crazy to think that this could work ? ridge : i think we 're crazy to think it ca n't . oh , logan , you 've made me so happy . you 've made me so happy . brooke : oh , god , i 've missed you so much . ridge : you promise me right now . that 's it . no more . no more . not once more do we ever lose faith . say it . say it . brooke : never . never . ridge : never what ? brooke : lose faith . ridge : faith . never , never again . ridge : brooke ? what is it , my love ? brooke : how do i tell nick ? [ chattering ] jackie : no . deacon : jackie , nobody has to know . jackie : what ? deacon : we 've kept the secret this long . jackie : we ? we ? we -- what is this we ? you told me that nicky was the father ! you tricked me ! deacon : i told you what you needed to know . you were on the edge . you were stressed . you were drinking . jackie : oh , for god 's sake ! do n't pretend you did this for me . deacon : oh , okay , fine ! then , you know what , do n't you pretend that you would n't have done the same damn thing so that nicky could have his own little family . jackie : but it 's not his own family , is it ? it is n't his child ! deacon : oh , would you just stop freaking out ? okay ? nothing has changed . jackie : what are you talking about ? i ca n't lie about this . deacon : you ca n't what ? are you kidding me ? that 's how this whole damn thing got started , with your little secret ! jackie : i never believed that ridge was the father . i still do n't want to believe it . deacon : okay , okay . take a deep breath , just take a deep breath . relax . we never had this conversation . jackie : oh , deacon -- deacon : listen to me . if the truth comes out , nick loses everything . do you understand what -- listen to me ! do you understand what i 'm saying ? he loses everything , jackie -- his son -- his family -- the woman that he loves . you more than anyone understand what that 'll do to him . [ nick sighs ] nick : well . charming . the place , that is . very -- classy . brooke : nick . nick : hey . you 're looking lovely as always . i was worried about you . i thought you might getting all pale and anxiety - ridden missing me . maybe even lose your appetite , but , guess not . ridge : obviously you 're out on bail . brooke : i think you should go . ridge : i wo n't be far . nick : we know . brooke : they dropped the charges ? nick : yeah . brooke : wow . that 's great . nick : yeah . it is , is n't it ? unpeeled . how gauche . brooke : nick ? nick : yeah ? brooke : i thought you 'd be more relieved . nick : about the charges being dropped ? it was n't that big a surprise , really . neither was this -- brooke : what ? nick : finding you and forrester in some romantic setting . brooke : look , there 's something i need to explain . nick : oh , come on , brooke . you 've said it all , have n't you ? over and over . you and forrester and your history , how it does n't really affect anything between you and me . brooke : that 's not what i was going to say . nick : whatever . i 'm really not interested . here 's the deal . i 'm getting a little tired of this . brooke : what ? nick : the intrigue , the excuses , the drama -- god , the drama ! i 'm thrown in jail . you know , i 'm a simple guy . i 've always had a real uncomplicated life . i like it that way . brooke : i can understand that . nick : well , good . good . then maybe you 'll understand when i tell you this -- i want out . jackie : yes , deacon . i do know exactly what this will do to my son . because my son has never opened up his heart to anybody ever for fear of getting hurt . god . damn you ! damn you ! how could you do this to me ? how could you put me in this , position ? deacon : okay , listen to me ! then , you know what , then do n't say anything to anybody . because they 'll be better off . jackie : right . except ridge ! deacon : who the hell cares about ridge ? jackie : what ? deacon : you listen to me . this never even would have happened if he did n't try to keep me and my daughter apart . jackie : god , i 'm beginning to understand why he did ! have you no conscience ? deacon : you go ahead . go ahead . give it a shot . really , i want to see it . you go ahead and you try your little rescue mission and see what happens . you think he 'll appreciate it , do n't you ? he will skin you alive . you trust me . he 's not a very forgiving fellow . and when he 's done , he will throw you to massimo . oh yeah , that 's right . because your little secret set his two boys at war , and it did n't have to happen . now , how the hell do you think he 'll like that ? i am on your side , jackie , always . but you need to think about this very , very carefully . do you understand what i 'm saying ? you need to consider all the angles . are you listening to me ? jackie : yes . yes , i understand . i 'm listening . i would lose my marriage . i would lose my career . and i would definitely lose nicky . deacon : jackie , he would never , ever speak to you again . jackie : that 's very likely . but none of that changes what i have to do . deacon : which is what ? jackie , where are you going ? jackie : i 'm going to go and tell my son the truth . brooke : you want out ? nick : maybe i should n't have put it so bluntly . brooke : no , it 's all right . nick : it 's just not working for me , you know ? brooke : i thought you were happy . nick : when i look at you -- who would n't be ? this is all new to me , do n't forget that . the thought of coming home to somebody everyday and sleeping with somebody and growing old with somebody -- it sounds like a great life . it 's just got ta be with the right somebody , you know ? brooke : you do n't think we 're right for each other ? nick : oh , come on . you 're the head of a fashion company . i 'm just some silly old sailor , right ? it 's a miracle we made it this far . who are we kidding ? if it was n't for this child -- this beautiful child . brooke : nick . nick : i 'm sorry to drop it on you like this . brooke : well , if that 's how you feel . nick : well , come on , at this point there really are n't that many options , are there ? it 's probably a good thing forrester broke the wedding up when he did . a couple more seconds and it would 've been a done deal . lucky break , huh ? brooke : i would 've been lucky to be your wife . nick : i do n't know about that . brooke : i do . nick : all the times i imagined you saying those words -- never like this . brooke : oh , thank you . oh , thank you so much . | ridge continues to try to convince brooke that he can love the baby as if it were his own . brooke finally believes him and agrees to be with him . nick walks into the room without them seeing him and realizes what is going on . after ridge leaves the room , nick tells brooke that he wants out of all this drama . brooke takes of the engagement ring and hands it back to nick . she hugs him and thanks him for letting her out of the engagement . a tear rolls down nicks cheek . |

ivy : so , do i look any different ? liam : [ chuckles ] you 're still beautiful . ivy : oh . thought i might have a new glow or something now that i 'm a married woman . you know , i ca n't believe we fell asleep so early last night . it 's the most boring wedding night ever . liam : yeah . well , it was a stressful day . we were both exhausted . ivy : yeah . we 'll just make up for that later . hey , uh , i was thinking i should bring over some of my stuff on the weekend because carter said we have to make this marriage look as believable as possible . liam : uh , yeah . no , that 's -- that 's okay . i 'm good with that , as long as we 're still on the same page about the ... ivy : i get it , okay ? it 's an agreement . it 's just a piece of paper that allows me to stay in this country . liam : yeah . right . exactly . i - i married you so you would n't be deported . i 'm really glad i did ... ivy : yeah , liam -- liam : ... but that 's all it was , you know ? we 're still dating . i 'm sorry . ivy : nothing 's changed . liam : [ sighs ] ridge : hey , what do you think ? would you wear this ? steffy : huh ? ridge : a dinner party or something ? i 'm not sure about it . steffy : yeah . yeah . ridge : steffy . steffy : what ? what ? ridge : you 're fired . steffy : do n't even joke , okay ? you 'd be lost without me . ridge : i -- steffy : mm - hmm . ridge : yeah , you 're not wrong about that . where 's the v.p . ? steffy : i have n't seen him today , but i 'm gon na stop by his house later . i have a little surprise for him . ridge : when are you gon na be done with that project ? steffy : i 'm hoping never . that liam and i will keep making memories for the rest of our lives . wyatt : we 've tried that before , and it did n't work , remember ? rose quartz does not do well in 90 % of our markets . quinn : too hippie dippie . wyatt : okay , rings . ivy agrees the customers want more . stackable , cocktail , whatever you can come up with . oh , i 'm sorry ! am i keeping you from something ? quinn : what ? what ? what about rings ? wyatt : make more of them . quinn : who says ? wyatt : oh , my god . where are you right now ? what is your deal ? quinn : i am really sorry , okay ? i am so sorry . i 'm just -- i - i - i 'm dying to find out . it 's making me a little distracted . wyatt : dying to find out what ? quinn : about ivy and liam . do n't you want to know if they got married ? wyatt : i have n't really thought about it . quinn : if liam marries ivy , steffy has no choice but to move on , and think about what that could mean for you . wyatt : mom , stop ! for once in your life , can you just please stay out of it ? quinn : oh , but if you had to take a guess ! wyatt : if he went through with it , it 's because he felt pressured , obligated . but he 's not ready to be married again . quinn : yes , but then ivy could stay in america , and it would open the door for you and steffy . and do n't act like that 's not a good thing for everybody ! wyatt : that would be great . i would love that . steffy is gorgeous . she 's dynamic , she 's a hell of a lot of fun . but i do n't want anyone who 's still hung up on liam . i 've been there and done that with hope . i 'm not doing it again . ridge : what are you trying to accomplish ? steffy : i told you . i 'm getting liam back . ridge : mm - hmm . you sound pretty sure of yourself . steffy : no reason not to be . ridge : and ivy ? she 's out of the picture , then , or ... ? steffy : last night was a game changer . definitely a big shift in their relationship and for liam and me . ridge : whatever makes you happy . steffy : liam , dad . liam makes me happy . i mean , come on . come on . take a look at this . how cute are we ? ridge : where was that ? aspen ? steffy : i have a few things in store for liam . i just want to remind him how good we are together . ivy : are you sure you do n't want to just take the one car to work today ? it 'd be fun . we could , uh , we could walk in there with our own , little secret . liam : [ chuckles ] it wo n't be a secret for long . ivy : why ? you mean once pam finds out ? liam : uh , you know , i think i 'm gon na come in a little later . i - i have some stuff to take care of . ivy : okay . hey , do n't -- do n't cook tonight . i want to make dinner . liam : oh , you do n't have to do that . ivy : well , i know . but i want to . see you later . have a good day . liam : you , too . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] liam : [ sighs ] hey , uh , are you coming over here later still ? 'cause i - i really need to talk to you . steffy : of course . i 'll be there in a bit . it 's happening . liam and i are getting our life back . ridge : i do n't know , steffy . the more i think about that , the more it 's just -- it 's a bad idea . steffy : you do n't know liam like i do . ridge : no , i -- and i 'm glad i do n't . too much history is a bad thing . that 's why your mom and i , we could never work it out . every time we 'd try , we 'd just fall into the same pattern . steffy : okay , my relationship with liam is completely different than your ... ridge : it 's completely different until it is n't . the only thing different in this is that -- that ivy 's right in the middle of it . steffy : you think i 'm setting myself up to fall . ridge : yeah . no . maybe . i do n't know . i just do n't want you coming back here crying , wanting me to defend your honor . steffy : does that sound like me ? compromising my integrity ? i 'm not begging for liam . i just believe that we need to have another chance . i remember everything . i wanted to remember every moment , you know , every laugh , every look , every song . i want to relive it again with him . and i want to do it over and over and over again . our future starts today . wyatt : i like your optimism . it 's very impressive . quinn : got to keep a positive attitude . you ca n't let all the negativity bring you down . wyatt : right . have you been reading too many self - help books or something ? quinn : this is what happiness looks like ! wyatt : right . no , i agree . i just liked you better when you were alone and miserable . you 're kind of annoying now . quinn : if ivy and liam have gotten married , be prepared for steffy to come knocking on your door . wyatt : i would welcome that opportunity with open arms -- if that 's what she wanted , if i was the one that she wanted and not because liam is off the market . i wo n't do that again . quinn : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] quinn : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] quinn : ivy ! i 've been waiting to hear from you . what happened ? [ gasps ] you did it . you did it ! you and liam got married ? !

[ chuckles ] at least not yet , anyway . i have a surprise for you . a few surprises , actually . i know you 've had a lot on your mind and you 've had to make some big decisions . i know you talked to ivy last night . whatever happened between you two , it must have been pretty intense . but i do n't want to talk about that right now . i want to put a big smile on your face and take you on a little stroll down memory lane . remind you of all the incredible times we shared and the many more to come . quinn : give me all the details . ivy : okay , well , at first i was nervous because i did n't know what liam was gon na say . quinn : right , 'cause you were worried he might say no . ivy : yeah , which i would n't have blamed him . i mean , what i was asking of him was huge . i 've never asked a favor of this from anyone before . but i just -- i explained to him that immigration was breathing down my neck -- quinn : and that marrying you was the only way to keep you in the country , your life , your job . ivy : oh ! i 'm just -- i 'm so grateful . quinn : ivy , i am so thrilled for you . ivy : and i told him that once enough time passes and my citizenship is secure , well , then , i could give him an annulment or a divorce . quinn : no . that 's not going to happen . liam is gon na want to stay married to you . wyatt : hey , ridge . you , uh , working on some new designs ? ridge : i 'm trying . wyatt : oh . well , my mom and i were just -- had a meeting about the , uh , the new collection , and -- and i think you 're really gon na like it . ridge : yeah , i hope so . wyatt : [ sighs ] have you seen steffy around ? ridge : she was here earlier . wyatt : any idea where she is now ? ridge : she went to see liam . wyatt : hmm . ridge : you really thought it was gon na be that easy , huh ? wyatt : no . i , uh , i know it 's not easy when liam 's involved . ridge : i know you and steffy have been spending time together . wyatt : a little bit around the office . i mean , it 's , you know , it is what it is . but for what it 's worth , i do think she 's phenomenal . ridge : i do n't want to interrupt you . i 'm sorry , man . but i should give you advice . i just do n't want you to get your hopes up . steffy 's trying to work it out with your brother . wyatt : hmm . [ rock music playing ] liam : [ chuckles ] steffy : i spent too many nights alone reminiscing about all our great moments together . liam : hmm . steffy : it was one thing to think about them , to talk about them . but it 's another to relive them . one place in particular stands out far -- liam : do n't even play with me . aspen . are you kidding ? steffy : [ laughs ] you remembered . of course . our special place . liam : yeah . steffy : hold that thought . liam : okay . [ laughs ] yeah . steffy : we took a carriage ride through town . liam : yeah , we did . steffy : see ? [ birds chirping ] liam : [ chuckles ] steffy : just wait . i have something else . liam : there 's more ? steffy : mm - hmm . remember what we used to eat ? liam : what is that ? steffy : oh , i do n't know . just a little bit of -- a little bit of -- liam : oh , my god . steffy : truffle fries . liam : no . steffy : [ laughs ] remember we used to eat them . liam : yeah , every single day . are you kidding me ? oh . steffy : i know . liam : oh , yes . oh ! steffy : they 're so good . liam : mmm ! it 's so good . it 's so good . steffy : and what goes with truffle fries ? liam : what goes with truffle fries ? steffy : oh , i do n't know . a little bob hope . liam : bob hope . yep . steffy : [ laughs ] liam : oh , that 's amazing . steffy : you see ? all of our favorites . liam : awesome . steffy : so , after we finish watching movies and being couch potatoes and we got to burn off the truffle , so ... i was thinking ... liam : here it comes . steffy : we could go outside and get some fresh air and go paragliding . liam : [ laughs ] steffy : [ laughs ] liam : oh , sure . yeah , just right over the beach . right , we 'll jump off a cliff . steffy : i mean , i 'd be totally down . but we ca n't do that , so in the meantime , we 'll have to ... ah ... these will have to do ! liam : oh , come on . steffy : how great are these ? liam : wow . steffy : okay , ready ? i 'm gon na count to three . liam : and then we go ? steffy : yeah , we go . liam : okay . steffy : one ... two ... three . liam : oh ! man down . man down . steffy : i have more , i have more . liam : you have more ? give me one . i want another one . okay . steffy : oh , mine are gon na be tangled . liam : i do n't care . i do n't care . i 'm gon na win . steffy : go . liam : one , two , three . we 're going . we 're going . steffy : oh , i am so bad . liam : he stuck the landing . i think i just won a medal for that . okay , hold on . no , no . i think my guy landed on your guy . steffy : no , it did n't ! liam : yes , i 'm getting this one . steffy : [ laughs ] liam : [ sighs ] ivy : that dress was a nice touch . thanks for sending that over . quinn : oh , i can be helpful when i want to be . ivy : actually , it was really -- it was a great photo opportunity . it made the ceremony look a lot more legitimate . quinn : i bet you looked stunning . ivy : well , i 'm not gon na lie . i mean , it felt cool wearing that gown . it was very easy to get caught up in that fantasy . quinn : well , it was no fantasy . you got hitched last night . ivy : technically . quinn : well , was the ceremony able to be romantic in any way ? could you exchange vows ? ivy : vaguely . the ceremony was so rushed . i mean , it 's not like we 're married on a spiritual level . quinn : yeah , but you 're legally married , and that 's all that matters . ivy : i 'm just trying to keep perspective . quinn : yeah , but you can have a little fun , you know . enjoy it . ivy : it 's just -- liam and i have a very clear understanding . we 're dating . that 's it . nothing more . quinn : as husband and wife . ivy : on paper , yes . it 's a necessity . it 's not because we want to be . quinn : are you sure about that ? wyatt : it 's pretty clear that liam wants to be with ivy . ridge : well , steffy does n't buy it . that 's why she 's over there . wyatt : how many chances is steffy gon na give that guy ? ridge : if she sees there 's something left , she 's gon na keep fighting for it . she 's not gon na let it go . wyatt : yeah , but she might not have a choice . ridge : i 'm gon na leave it alone . and maybe you should do the same . wyatt : it 's easier said than done , ridge . ridge : i got to ask you something . what about nicole ? you had a thing for her , did n't you ? what happened ? wyatt : did n't end up going anywhere . ridge : and why is that ? because you spilled the beans on maya ? wyatt : something like that , yeah . ridge : you know what i 'll do ? i 'll talk to caroline . she can set you up with one of her friends . wyatt : oh , i do n't think you 're gon na need to do that . ridge : you know something i do n't ? wyatt : just a vibe i 'm getting . steffy : do n't deny it . you liked it as much as i did . liam : [ sighs ] you have no idea . steffy : no , i think i do . liam : i have to say something . steffy : wait ! hold that thought . i have another memento for our journey through time . hold on , hold on , hold on . okay . liam : [ chuckles ] our mood rings . steffy : yeah . the rings we used to get married in aspen . liam : yeah . steffy : the surprise ceremony that caught us both off guard . [ sighs ] if it were n't for me , we 'd probably still be married right now . i 'm sorry i left you . i 'm sorry we lost our child and we were both going through so much pain . and i should have stayed here with you . liam : it 's okay . steffy : i love you . i do love you . and now i 'm back here . and we can start back up , keep the adventures rolling . i mean , i have so many things planned -- liam : okay , all right , wait , wait . [ chuckles ] before we get ahead of ourselves , i have to tell you something . and , um ... steffy : liam -- liam : it has to do with ivy . steffy : whatever happened last night , i mean , i know it was hard for you , but you had to do the right thing . liam : can you just listen to me for a second ? something happened last night . steffy : okay , i 'm a big girl . like i said , whatever happened , as long as it was the last time , okay ? liam : that 's not -- it 's not that . ivy and i -- oh , this is hard to explain . um ... and it 's not -- it 's not how it 's gon na sound . steffy : not like what sounds ? liam : just promise me you wo n't overreact to this . steffy : okay , liam , when do i overreact ? come on . liam : yeah , you 're right . you do n't . okay . um ... [ chuckles ] ivy and i , we -- we g -- we , um ... steffy : just say it . what ? just say -- liam : we got married . steffy : [ chuckles ] wait , it -- it just sounded like you said you got married . no . no way . that 's ridiculous . there 's -- you and ivy ? ! married ? ! | ivy walks out of the kitchen thinking she has that glow about her like an old married woman . but she is embarrassed that she fell asleep so early last night . they will have to make up for it tonight . liam reminds her again they only married to keep her in the country so nothing has really changed . she will bring some clothes over to make it look real . ridge is designing but ca n't get steffy 's attention . she is knee deep in thought looking at liam 's picture and finally tells her dad that she does not want to joke about it and hopes it will last the rest of their lives . she will see liam later today since he is not at the office . ridge tells her that he wants her to be happy but last he looked liam was with ivy . steffy thinks perhaps last night may have been a game changer . this is now their time and she wants to remember every single detail they shared before . |
liam : hey , alison . um , my dad inside ? alison : oh , he 's not to be disturbed , liam . liam : oh , well , tell him i 'm out here . alison : i 'll give him the message when he 's finished . liam : finished with what ? alison : liam , he gave me strict orders not to disturb him . ridge : zende 's passing up a big opportunity . steffy : he 's doing it for nicole . she does n't want him working with sasha . rick : i ca n't blame her . sacrifices have to be made . like when a woman is in love with two men . steffy : [ scoffs ] ridge : hey . you 've always been pretty transparent about your feelings . steffy : [ groans ] i hate that trait . i got it from mom . ridge : it 's a good trait . everybody knows where you stand . steffy : how miserable i can at times ? ridge : it 's understandable , after what quinn put you through . steffy : yeah , quinn turned my life upside - down . ridge : and now you have some unresolved feelings for liam . liam : is he alone in there ? alison : i do n't know . liam : you do n't know ? alison : i was away from my desk for a minute . liam : well , he 's not on the phone . alison : he might be on his cell . liam : what 's going on , alison ? alison : liam , i take orders from your father . he tells me not to disturb him , hold his calls , i follow suit . liam : hold his calls . okay , so he is in there with somebody . alison : he might be ... meditating . liam : uh - huh . bill : this is how it should be , how it has to be . i want you , brooke . i want all of you . brooke : we especially ca n't do that . considering -- bill : i ca n't pretend any longer . brooke : if this continues , you will be pretending with katie . we both will . and i ca n't do that . bill : we 'll work it out . brooke : bill ... [ sighs ] let 's get out of here . bill : we 'll make this work . brooke : how , bill ? what if katie finds out ? oh , my god . listen to me -- keeping a secret like this from my sister -- this is exactly what i did n't want ! bill : will you trust me ? katie will be able to cope when the time is right . we 'll make sure it is . neither one of us wants to hurt katie . but we ca n't ignore this any longer . [ intercom beeps ] alison , did i tell you no interruptions ? alison : liam is here , anxious to see you . bill : w - what do you mean , liam is here ? wait , yes or no -- is he standing right at your desk right now ? alison : yes . bill : just give me a minute . brooke : see what i mean ? this is exactly what i -- bill : just relax . it 's gon na be fine . brooke : [ sighs ] but keeping this a secret like -- bill : listen to me . listen to me . nothing bad is gon na happen . it 's gon na be okay . you just need to exit through the bedroom door , okay ? brooke : [ sighs ] okay . bill : go on . bill : hey , kid . come on in . liam : what were you doing in here ? ridge : honey . you married wyatt . and not because quinn forced you to or because you were lonely or insecure . you married him because you love the man . steffy : i do . ridge : i know you do . so focus on that and do n't worry about quinn and liam . focus on your husband . steffy : you know who you sound like ? bill . bill : good work . liam : thanks . bill : run it by wyatt . liam : right . bill : you 're part of the same team , liam . do n't forget that . liam : no , i 'm sure he 'll remind me . bill : your brother is not your enemy . liam : [ sighs ] yes , i know . i know that . he had nothing to do with it . bill : and everything to do with saving your ass . [ sighs ] look , uh , i know that i have been hard on you . but nobody feels worse for what happened to you than i do . but i want you to rebound . i want you to get back in the game . and you ca n't do that by obsessing over `` would 've , could 've , should 've . `` quinn knocked you down . but she did n't knock you out . you got up . so , do n't let the challenge define you . let your response to it define you . i understand that your world changed dramatically , all right ? wyatt and steffy are married . you have to respect that . you have to be a man and move on . liam : i 'm trying . i am . and i 'm gon na continue to try , but it 's not because i 'm gon na suddenly fall out of love with steffy . it 's -- it 's because of you . bill : me ? liam : yeah . yeah , the meeting earlier , what you and katie said , the loyalty and support you 've shown her when i 'm sure it has n't been easy . it 's probably been really tough . but , um , yeah , i want to live up to that . katie : hi . hey , what perfect timing . i was pulling up just as you were . brooke : oh . you left your sunglasses . that 's why you 're here , right ? katie : no . no , i - i did n't even know i left them . [ chuckles ] keep them . they 're yours . brooke : no , i 'm gon na go get them for you . katie : seriously , what 's mine is yours , okay ? just think of them as , uh , part of my apology . brooke : [ chuckles ] katie ... katie : no , i - i 'm here because i want you to know that everything i said the other night -- i really meant it . i 'm sorry , and i appreciate how you 've stood by me through all of this . brooke : i just did n't want to see you get hurt . katie : i know . and i also know that i 've hurt you with my false accusations and my ugly words and ... i 'm gon na make it up to you . from now on , i am going to be as loyal and supportive of you as ridge : wow . i do n't like the idea of sharing anything with bill spencer , not even an opinion . but , yes , you should be loyal to your husband . steffy : yeah , wyatt deserves that . ridge : he does . all the stuff his mother 's putting him through right now . steffy : he 's ripped apart . ridge : you do n't get to pick your parents , and he was handed a piece of work . steffy : she manipulated him . she robbed all of us . it 's like our integrity , our freedom to make our own decisions -- she took all of that . she orchestrated the whole thing , and we 're just here to pick up the pieces . ridge : oh , you will . steffy : okay . easier said than done . ridge : because you have feelings for liam . steffy : yeah . yeah , i have feelings for liam . deep feelings . but everything that quinn put him through -- ridge : i know , i know , but he 's a strong boy . he 's gon na be all right . the question is will you and wyatt . liam : do n't worry about me . i 'll -- i 'll pull through this . at least , i 'll try . [ chuckles ] bill : that 's what i want to hear , son . but do n't credit me . liam : [ scoffs ] okay . you 're a lot of things , dad , but humble is not one of them . bill : i 'm just saying i 'm not perfect . liam : maybe we should ask katie about that , the way you stood by her , supported her after everything she 'd put you through , hmm ? bill : katie is my wife . i 'll always be there for her . liam : absolutely . see , no question . i - i so respect that , and i want to be that guy . bill : and you are that guy . so is your brother . i want you to have each other 's backs . liam : yeah . well , quinn does n't make that easy . bill : you 're stronger than quinn . you both are . liam : it 's not -- it 's not about strong or weak . it 's my -- my life was fundamentally changed . i mean , yeah , steffy and i had some kinks to work out . who does n't ? but we knew the direction we were headed , and quinn destroyed all of that . bill : i understand . and if i had my way , quinn would suffer . but sometimes you have to cut your losses . justin counseled you not to press charges . liam : [ scoffs ] bill : hard for me to accept , but okay . but that means that quinn is no longer a factor . it 's up to you now . liam : i 'm fighting the battle , dad . that 's all i can tell you . [ sighs ] bill : well , fighting the battle means changing your attitude and respecting the fact that wyatt and steffy are married . we 're spencer men , liam . loyally , commitment . it 's a brotherhood . no one interferes with that . liam : yeah , well , at least i have you as an example of that . bill : there are better examples than me . liam : see , now , why would you say that ? 'cause we 're -- we 're talking about respecting marriage , right , and you 've done that as well as anyone i know . is n't that what you 're saying ? bill : marriage is at the heart of civilization . that bond of loyalty , commitment is paramount . empires have fallen without it . i want you to remember that the next time you 're looking at your brother and his wife . i will have zero tolerance , liam . that 's how much marriage means to me . katie : when i think about the way i treated you , i ... feel really embarrassed . brooke : you had every right to feel the way you did . katie : no , brooke , just ... i need to say these things . you and bill told me that my jealousy was just in my head , and you were right . brooke : katie , do n't . katie : no , i - i 'm not beating myself up . i 'm not . i - i 'm just -- i 'm telling the truth . i 'm taking responsibility for my actions , and that 's an important first step . just please understand that i ... i have n't been myself for a while now . i know that you and bill loved each other once , a - and you still love each other . and -- and i have to accept that , because some people have histories that ca n't be erased . brooke : you do n't have to say these things . katie : i do . i said such hurtful things to you , and i -- i know i ca n't take them back , but i want to move forward . i - i really want to try . it wo n't happen overnight . i have to break this habit i have of always thinking the worst about you , because it 's not fair . i know you love me . and i love you , too . what is it ? are you okay ? liam : you 're right . i mean , marriage is -- it 's a lifetime commitment , even for wyatt and steffy . but when -- [ sighs ] when you love someone as much as i love steffy , could you really just -- just walk away , just let go ? could you do that ? yeah , i see in your eyes that you could n't . bill : i 'm telling you what needs to be said . and you need to hear me . liam : i take your point . i do . and i 'm not gon na go after steffy . but the reason i 'm not is because of you . because of your marriage , your total commitment to katie . i want that . and , yes , i want that for my brother , too . bill : i feel your pain . and we 're gon na get through this together . [ sighs ] now i have to get home to my wife . ridge : i 'm sorry , honey . for everything you 're going through . steffy : [ scoffs ] what that bitch has put me through ? ridge : yeah , but she 's not gon na defeat you . you got wyatt . and liam , he 's gon na find someone . steffy : yeah . yeah , liam 's gon na make someone very happy . ridge : and you 're sure you do n't want to be that someone ? steffy : [ sighs ] ridge : you chose wyatt . steffy : you do n't have to keep talking about this . i love wyatt . ridge : i know you do . but you also love liam . so the question is , is it enough ? what you have with wyatt , is it enough for your marriage , and for the rest of your life ? katie : what is it ? listen , i - i know you 're concerned about me , but you do n't have to be . bill and i are in a -- a really good place right now , and i - i 'm so grateful for that . so many times , you could have given up on me . but you did n't . and that 's because i know that your commitment to me is so solid , and -- and i -- i did n't deserve it then , i do n't deserve it now . but i want -- i want to . thank you . thank you for being so loyal and so supportive . liam : [ sighs ] | bill and brooke enjoy their time in the fornication shack room . bill tells brooke that he can not pretend any longer . they will work this out . alison tells liam that bill can not be disturbed . she will give him the message later . liam wants to know what is going on . she says he might be meditating and not taking phone calls , that is all she knows . bill assures brooke that katie will cope when the time comes . alison finally interrupts and tells bill that liam is outside the door . bill says give him a minute . he has to stash brooke back in the hidden room . she leaves by a unknown back way but unknowingly leaves an earring behind in the bed . liam is suspicious and wants to know what bill was doing in here all locked in . bill looks over a folder and tells liam good work . he says he knows he has been hard on him and he just wants him to get back in the game . steffy and wyatt are married and he has to respect that ; be a man and accept it . liam says it wo n't be easy but he is giving up because of bill . he wants to live up to his standards . he wants to be that guy just like his dad . liam says his life was all changed because of quinn . bill says he knows and he would like to see quinn suffer . but liam did not press charges so he will have to accept that . they are spencer men heavy on loyalty and commitment and brotherhood . no one interferes with that . he wants him to remember that the next time he looks at his brother 's wife . he will have zero tolerance . |
steffy : good little helper , are n't you ? yeah . hmm . liam : hey , do you want to do baths after we get back from the beach so we can get all the sand and sunscreen off them ? steffy : yeah . yeah , let 's do that . hey , i forgot to ask you , how 'd you , uh -- how 'd you sleep last night ? [ phoebe coos ] liam : yeah ? uh , good . great . steffy : well , i heard you walking around . liam : um ... i ... i mean , i guess i 'm just not used to the house noises anymore . steffy : it 's your first night as a newly un - married man . we can be real with each other . we always were . liam : i feel kind of dislocated in time , i guess . steffy : well , this is where hope wants you to be . can that be enough ? liam : i sure hope it was n't a mistake , sending all those photos of you and your sister . [ knock on door ] hope : come in . brooke : hi , honey . hope : hi , mom . brooke : i thought that maybe you 'd like to come up to the house and have some breakfast with me . hope : uh ... i already ate , but thanks . brooke : you have bad news ? hope : well , liam sent me that adorable photo of phoebe , but now i ca n't seem to find it anywhere . [ sinister music plays ] ridge : hey , thomas . i used to daydream , as well . thomas : when 'd you stop ? ridge : when all my dreams came true . thomas : well , maybe all of my dreams will come true , too , someday . ridge : sure . well , that depends on what or who you 're dreaming about . liam : uh , well , she spit up a little bit . steffy : she does that after breakfast sometimes . liam : yeah . do n't i know it ? [ knock on door ] katie : knock , knock . oh , good ! oh , you 're up . good , good , good . oh ! uh ... we did n't call . and that 's because , uh , this guy has corrupted me . sorry . bill : if they do n't know you 're coming , they ca n't tell you not to . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : hey , you guys . steffy : you know you 're always welcome . katie : thank you . liam : do n't suppose you expected to find me here . katie : actually , brooke told me that you 'd be here . bill : you 're just beautiful ! look at both of you . katie : look at those eyes . bill : wow ! were you ever cute like this , or just that ? liam : just this . bill : yeah . liam : not like that , no . [ bill and katie chuckle ] hey , it 's really nice to see you two together . bill : likewise . xander : [ exhales softly ] zoe : [ giggles ] xander : you sure know how to make a guy see things your way . zoe : mm , sometimes . xander : i think last night was one of those times . zoe : [ chuckles ] and here i thought you were losing faith in me . xander : uh , no . it 's not that . zoe : you 're having doubts . you want to do what 's right for hope . xander : i do . even with the threats of thomas forrester ringing in my ears . brooke : maybe you deleted it by accident . hope : it was a perfect shot of phoebe , and it helps remind me of why liam needs to be there instead of here . brooke : does he , though ? he does n't think so . hope : kelly and phoebe need him , and there is a child here at home who needs me . brooke : and douglas is special , and he does blossom when he 's around you . [ sighs ] i just want you to be cautious about thomas , okay ? thomas : [ sighs ] i suspect you know this , but i think about hope all the time . she 's single now . ridge : for what , a day ? thomas : it 's gon na happen , dad . i mean , do n't ask me how i know . but i know . and when it does , can i expect your support ? zoe : i mean , can i just tell you how it makes me feel that you want a happy ending for hope , which will only mean the end of us ? xander : it does n't have to . [ zoe sighs ] i love you . you know i do n't want anything bad to happen to you . it 's just ... i do n't understand why you do n't agree that something has to be done . for hope 's sake , and beth 's . zoe : [ scoffs quietly ] emma : sorry . i did n't mean to eavesdrop . katie : so , a day at the beach sounds like fun . we 'll -- we 'll get out of your hair . it 's just that , um ... when brooke told me that you moved back in and why , i just thought that , well , with bill and me giving it another go , maybe we might have some , um -- some hatchets to bury . bill : preferably not in my skull . [ katie chuckles ] even if i deserve it . katie : we 're family . even if we do show up unannounced . steffy : are we gon na , like , burn some sage or something ? 'cause that will definitely wake our girls up from their post - breakfast nap . [ katie laughs ] liam : uh , yeah . so , speaking of breakfast , does anybody want some ? bill : um ... there 's something i - i 'd like to say . i contributed to the , uh , breakup of your family . the demise of your marriage . hell , i caused the breakup of my own family . now , that 's not a full list of my misdeed . just a couple of the highlights . liam : dad , i -- [ sighs ] you -- you 've apologized . n - nobody is asking you to do it again . bill : well , that 's the thing , liam . what happened after the apologies . the things i did wrong stayed wrong . there was no fixing them . but here i am today , with my katie by my side , putting my family back together . now , who would have believed this a year ago ? nobody would have believed it , least of all me . but it 's happening . and it looks like the two of you might be on the road to doing the same . so what i 'm asking is that , if you two find your way back to being a family again , i 'm hoping that you 'll let me be part of it . katie : us . heh . bill : yeah . i 'm hoping that you 'll let us be part of it . ridge : and you do n't think it 's a little soon for hope to invite a new man into her life ? thomas : yeah , i 'm not new , okay ? and i 'm not insensitive , either . the healing 's going both directions between her and douglas . and , look , she said she 's grateful for douglas and me to be in her life . she wants to see where it goes . at some point , she 's gon na turn to me . it 's the most natural thing in the world . ridge : and i think , at some point , you will be good for her . thomas : i want to move my generation forward the way you did yours . and that begins with hope and me . hope : i hardly think thomas is anyone i have to worry about . brooke : maybe i misunderstood , then . hope : what ? brooke : i came down here last night to say good night , and you were in his arms . hope : i just -- i was having a bad night . brooke : let me tell you something that you may not have discovered yet -- any man who 's happy to be there for your in your bad moments will more than likely reward you with more of them . zoe : oh . where did you come from ? emma : i was n't hiding . i just , um ... we inventory everything we store here for the models ' use . xander : yeah . yeah , what , uh -- what -- what needs cleaning and what needs repairing . emma : right . we used to work on that together . i did n't hear anything you were saying . i just recognized your voice , and wanted to let you know i was here . zoe : well , thanks . but , uh , we actually do have some work to do , so ... emma : is everything okay ? you both seem ... zoe : we were just having a little disagreement . xander : it -- it happens . [ all chuckle ] emma : okay . bye . zoe : if she would have heard you say beth 's name ... bill : well , uh , we saw the girls , i - i said my piece . our business here is -- is done . liam : come on . you do n't have to leave on my account . that 's ... silly . steffy : or mine . liam : um , actually , you know , i d -- i , um -- i have to finish the -- yeah . [ clears throat ] katie : um ... i 'll be right back . steffy : he 's not angry . bill : then what is he ? steffy : he 's sad . with everything that happened . but it has nothing to do with you . bill : he does n't know how much he needs you . i take that back . he 's here . he knows . katie : seems like it 's still hard for you to be around bill . i thought that , um , you guys had made some progress . liam : we had . we -- we had . it -- [ sighs ] i just have n't really been in this close physical proximity to both steffy and my dad at the same time . katie : yeah . i can relate . liam : [ sighs ] you know , and before , i could just walk away . i could just go home . but i do n't really have a home to go to anymore , so ... katie : you do n't feel comfortable here ? liam : that 's the thing -- i do . and i shouldn't . katie : you did n't let hope down . liam : yeah , well , you know , i did n't really fix it , either . katie : i do n't think it works that way sometimes . some things just ca n't be fixed . i mean , look at bill . whatever he went through last year , whatever you want to call that , none of us could have done anything about that . he had to fix himself . and somehow he was able to find his way back to his family . he was able to ... fall back in love with me , and with our child . liam : yeah , well , unfortunately , falling in love with our child sent hope and me in the opposite direction . apart . katie : but giving you back to your daughter was the only thing that felt right to hope . and maybe someday you 'll feel the same way . thomas : dad , i love you , but there 's got to be a better way for our children to grow up , steffy and mine , than -- than -- than the way that we did . ridge : because i was n't there full time . thank you , captain obvious . got it . thomas : look , steffy 's children now have their father back . and douglas is n't gon na grow up without a mother . hope cares for him . she cares for me . a - and that 's all i need . i do n't need to chase some impossible dream when life 's placed everything right in front of me . hope : thomas is your stepson . so ... what are you trying to say ? brooke : i 've known him longer than you have , and at closer range . hope : okay . so what do you suspect him of , exactly ? brooke : [ scoffs ] you 're not gon na play naive with me , are you ? hope : okay , yes , mom , thomas has feelings for me , and he cares about me , but i -- i can hardly hold that against him . brooke : he loves to show up unannounced with douglas . he loves to make plans for you and douglas . now , douglas is innocent . but his father ? izzy is crazy about boxes . bill : that one 's for phoebe . she 'll grow into it . steffy : [ laughs ] it 's beautiful . it 's so sweet . yeah . bill : [ chuckles ] liam : if only she had more hair . bill : oh , and , uh , those are for kelly . those are n't just any chocolate - chip cookies . they are belgian chocolate - chip cookies . liam : ahh . bill : wyatt said she just got another tooth . steffy : uh , yeah . yeah , number six . liam : yeah . you ever try eating with six teeth ? bill : what , you think i could n't ? liam : you know what , actually , i believe you could . um , you have constantly done things that i never thought anyone could -- or would -- do . like coming here today . facing the two of us . being willing to take your knocks , even after all the knocks you 've already had dealt to you . you know we 're probably gon na have a falling out like every two years , right ? bill : oh , yeah . sure . well , actually , i was hoping maybe every four to five years . liam : and another thing -- when you babysit , you do not get to distract the girls with a shiny toy and then make business calls all night . you actually have to pay attention to them . bill : what ? ! liam : you know this , right ? bill : come on ! you gon na stand up for me , here ? katie : he can do that . he can do that . liam : uh , okay . then allow me to say something i never thought i 'd say . thank you for coming . bill : [ sighs ] i love you , liam . it may be an aggravating kind of love ... liam : [ snorts , laughs ] bill : ... but that 's how you know it 's real . and i promise that i -- liam : hey , no more promises with expiration dates . just ... be honest even when it 's inconvenient , and do what you say you 're gon na do , and we 'll be good . bill : fair enough . liam : i love you , pop . hope : you 're reading too much into this , okay ? douglas comes here because he wants to . brooke : honey , i 'm not saying that he 's not lonely . hope : well , you should see him . he brings me flowers and -- and draws these little pictures and -- and writes little notes . it 's -- it 's sweet . it 's not a conspiracy . brooke : flowers and notes . those are not impulses of a child . hope : [ huffs ] okay , then , so what are you suggesting ? brooke : it would just be wise of you to be guarded . you do n't remember everything about thomas . he 's not the most stable member of the family . and this sudden attachment that he has to you out of nowhere , it worries me . thomas : too much sadness and sacrifice . douglas lost his mother . and not to the same degree , but kelly lost her father when steffy lost her husband . do n't you see how easily this can all be mended ? ridge : hope lost her daughter . maybe that 's beyond mending . thomas : you always talked about how destiny led you to brooke . now i understand , you know ? destiny 's something you can see , something you can taste . ridge : hey , a little word of advice -- all those things that we work for all our lives , they can be taken away just like that . [ thomas sighs ] but destiny , that 's there . when you 're ready to claim it . thomas : i 've loved you since we were n't much more than children . and we had to go our separate ways , but now we found our way back to each other , i ca n't let you go . you 're free now , hope . and so am i . say you 'll marry me . hope : be your wife ? be douglas ' mother ? [ giggles ] yes ! yes . i wanted it all along , i just did n't know how to tell you . and you have been so patient , waiting to hear those words that i have always , always wanted to say . i love you , thomas . i love you so much . thomas : it wo nt ' be long now , hope . i 've waited long enough . | liam and steffy hold the girls and talk about his first night as a non - married man and that he can be real with her , they always could . bill and katie drop in on steffy and liam says it is good to see him . ridge tells thomas that he used to daydream too . thomas asks when did he stop . ridge replies when they all came true . thomas replies maybe his will too when his does soon . he hints there will be changes soon and he hopes ridge will support him . ridge thinks it is a little too soon for hope to be inviting another man into her life . maybe it will happen but it is too soon now . xander tells zoe even with the threats of thomas ringing in his ears he still wants to tell hope the truth . she does not want to think about this as it will mean the end of them . he says it does n't have to be . brooke talks to hope and says she wants her to be cautious around thomas . she gives hope a piece of advice . any man who would be here through her bad times most likely will be there for her forever . bill turns down breakfast but tells liam that he has something to say . he knows he did things in the past that caused liam and steffy 's breakup .. hell he even did things to cause his own but here he is one year later with his katie . and if it is true that liam and steffy are going to get back together he 'd like to be part of that family he and katie . liam says he has already apologized so he does not have to do that again . bill says he knows but he wants to . liam does n't say anything but sort of nods okay . emma shows up out of nowhere and happens to overhear zoe and xander discussing something very serious . she wants to know if all is okay . zoe says yes they just happened to have a disagreement , that 's all . while they are alone , steffy tells bill that liam is not angry at him , just sad . too much has happened so quickly . bill says she does not know how much liam needs her . |

[ scene_break ] stephanie : what in the hell are you talking about ? sally : it 's pretty simple , pretty straightforward , easy to understand . thorne had sex with another woman , and now she is pregnant with his child . stephanie : he would n't do that . sally : would n't he ? does the name brooke logan still matter around here ? actually , thorne has practically made a career out of betraying my daughter . stephanie : sally , he 's in love with your daughter . he just got her back . why would he sleep around on her ? sally : gee , i do n't know . maybe because he 's a lying , despicable slime , that 's why . stephanie : sally , this does n't make any sense . sally : neither did sleeping with macy 's best friend . but that 's exactly what thorne did . stephanie : her best friend ? you 're not talking about darla ? sally : give the lady a big , fat cigar , she got it on one guess . yes , darla . so that puts a finish to this marriage . it 's over and done with now , stephanie . macy will never take him back . never again !

[ chuckles ] i remember when you tied it on my finger . it was so romantic and ... unexpected and beautiful . you said that we had to take a leap of faith . and i 'm gon na have faith that you 're gon na remember every moment that we 've shared ... how we fell in love ... and how we 've been planning to spend the rest of our lives together . [ sniffles ] tell me you remember , ridge . [ sniffles ] tell me you remember us . [ sighs ] | amid her tears , katie holds ridge and says he is alive . he admits yes he is alive . he pats her back . she sighs that he has been gone like forever and for him never to do that to her again . he says he is sorry , and he wo n't . katie tells him not to apologize . he 's here , he 's alive and well and he 's beautiful . she has been so worried . eric asks if ridge can tell them where he has been . slowly he says someone found him , took him in and now he is here . he is sorry he put them through this . katie says again not to apologize . he has been in a freak accident and they will investigate it as soon as they get home as she knows he wants to get home . he says yes . eric tells brooke there is something a little off about ridge . he 's not really present and they perhaps should be worried . but they are going to find out . he 's called a doctor and he 's on the way . aly asks rick if they know why hope called this emergency meeting . no one knows . pam says the suspense is killing her and it must be about ridge . finally hope comes in and says she has news . ridge has been found alive . they all cheer that ridge is okay . carter tells maya that she has to stop eyeballing oliver . she asks if it is obvious . he says yes . she says she ca n't help it ; alarm bells are going off . carter says with ridge 's situation this is not the time . justin meets with bill and asks if there is any word . bill says no . justin says this is not good . every minute that goes by his chances of survival gets worse . bill replies that he does n't know how in the hell this could go so wrong . he just wanted to teach ridge a lesson , let him go for a little swim . justin says something that he forgot to tell bill , and he 's not going to like it . bill says great , let 's hear it . justin says just before he got word from bill to cool ridge off , he thinks ridge saw him . bill tells justin to never protect him at his own expense . he should have told him sooner . justin says originally he was there just to pick up bill and brooke . he had no idea what was happening on the ground . ridge had his own chopper there and he had no idea this chopper was n't his . then justin got the call to cool ridge . he was surprised to see it was ridge but he thinks he saw the sp emblem when he boarded . he might have put it all together . bill is not happy but he says if ridge is dead , it might be a moot point . ridge keeps saying he is fine and wants to go home . eric tells him they will wait and see what the doctor says . the doctor says from what he has been able to find out , ridge hit the water pretty hard . the fall alone could have killed him , but he survived with a severe concussion . brooke says they deserve some answers . they have been worried for days and the hospitals were on alert . the doctor says a family found him , that father was a doctor and took care of ridge . eric wants to know if there will be any after affects . the doctor says some memory loss and confusion . the brain can be tricky so only time will tell . ridge should be monitored back in the states and he will be in touch with them . he tells ridge that he has a lot of healing to do and for him not to be under any kind of stress . ridge says that 's it , they should go home now . katie asks if she can speak with ridge alone . she asks if he remembers them . hope and liam hug that ridge is alive when it was looking like they 'd never find him . she says she was really scared and what she realized during all of this that she never told ridge enough how grateful she was to have him in her life and how much he meant to her . liam says yes almost losing one really opens your blinders what it would be like without them . she says she is sorry if that is how liam felt about her , but she appreciates him even more now and will never stop telling him . |

[ scene_break ] ivy : liam stepped up . he did what he needed to do to keep me in the country . anything else beyond that , i ... i 'm not getting my hopes up . quinn : it 's okay to admit that you want things to work out with your husband . ivy : [ chuckles ] my husband . i have a husband .

[ scene_break ] ivy : [ sighs ] you know , it just -- it just feels safer to see this as a business arrangement . i mean , do i want more ? yeah . of course i do . but liam is n't ready for something like this , and i 'm certainly not gon na push him . quinn : why not ? ivy : because he needs time to figure out exactly what he wants now that steffy 's back in the picture . quinn : yeah , but liam does n't need to rescue steffy . i mean , you 're the delicate , desperate one depending on him to keep you safe . i mean , liam -- he 's one of those guys who needs to feel powerful and -- and manly . he needs to be the hero . ivy : quinn , that 's not really something i want to base my marriage on . quinn : but it 's so much more than that . i mean , ivy , he jumped into the seine for you . he jumped into this marriage for you . he would n't do that if he did n't love you . [ scene_break ] steffy : you married ivy to save her ? liam : yes . steffy : that makes zero sense . liam : from being deported . steffy : what ? ! liam : yeah . steffy : liam , i do n't get this . liam : she was visited by an immigration officer . apparently some of her paperwork was n't in order . steffy : so ? liam : so they were gon na deport her . steffy : so ? ! liam : so i 'm not just gon na let that happen , steffy ! steffy : oh , come on ! she goes back to australia , she fills out a new work visa , and then she 'll be back in a few months ! you do n't have to marry her ! liam : you think it 's that easy if you get kicked out the country ? ! no , they told her she might not ever get allowed back in ! steffy : maybe -- maybe that was worth looking into before you married her ! i mean , does n't she have dual citizenship ? i thought her father 's american . liam : yeah , he -- he is , but apparently he forgot to fill out some of the paperwork . i do n't know , okay ? i do n't know . all i know is i care about her and she needed my help .

wyatt : yeah . flo : yeah ? wyatt : yeah , i mean , i as -- i assume so . am i -- am i missing something here , flo ? like , i thought you and steffy , like , hit it off , and everything really clicked and -- and all that . flo : we did . yeah . i mean , she -- she 's great . i got really good vibes from her and everything . wyatt : yeah . well , i 'm sure she feels the same way about you , right ? like , you 're phoebe 's birth mom . you know , you -- you gave kelly a little sister and made their family complete . now , would n't it be great if you could just -- if you could see for yourself what -- what you made possible for them ? flo : i mean , everyone does say how great of a mom she is , and how happy they all are . wyatt : yeah . and now that liam 's back , i mean , that 's great for kelly and phoebe and -- and -- flo : y - you 're right . you 're right . yeah . i mean , now that liam 's back , he can be with the girls , and i guess that 's a good thing , and phoebe 's in a good place , and she 's safe ... wyatt : yeah . flo : but , you know , i just -- i just ca n't help thinking about the future and her future and how everything is gon na work out , and ... wyatt : flo . flo : maybe it -- maybe it would be good for me to go there , you know ? wyatt : yeah . flo : see how good phoebe 's life really is . brooke : here you go . ridge : all right . thank you . brooke : i am sympathetic to thomas . he has gone through some horrible experiences . but he 's still there for douglas , and he is doing amazing things at hope for the future . but on another level , on a personal level , he 's really latched onto hope . ridge : [ snorts ] brooke : ever since he came to l.a. , he 's really focused on her , ridge . and it worries me . it 's a little obsessive . ridge : so , you think that the feelings that thomas has for hope are unhealthy ? hope : you made this for me ? thomas : heh . well , i could n't imagine anyone else wearing it for the first time . hope : uh , i 'm not sure i 'll do it justice . [ sighs ] thomas : oh , you -- you do . hope : yeah ? thomas : yeah . hope : uh , i could n't do the clasp in the back . thomas : oh , let me . what do you think ? hope : it looks amazing . it feels amazing . thomas , i know you said this is a prototype , but every seam , every detail ... thomas : perfect . hope : it really is . thank you . for taking the time to do this for me . thomas : yeah . well , you , uh -- you 're worth it . and this design captures your strength and your vibrance . the beginning of a new adventure . i want to get you out of that cabin and back into life . you 're moving forward . and i want to help you keep moving forward , okay ? we can do it together . i 'll be with you every step of the way . liam : so , just got a text from wyatt . they 're gon na be here any second . steffy : liam , i - i -- i know i should n't be tense . flo wanted this adoption as much as i did . but she 's -- she 's a logan now . she 's not alone in this world . she has this big , accepting family . liam : we have a perfect little family . because of flo . like , she 's literally the reason that phoebe 's gon na grow up now with a big sister and an amazing mom . [ knock on door ] steffy : [ sighs ] flo : hi ! wyatt : [ smooches ] hi . steffy : hi ! flo : thanks for having me . steffy : oh , of course . of course . come on in . liam : [ murmurs ] wyatt : [ chuckles ] [ clears throat ] steffy : the last time you were here was , uh , before the adoption . liam : yeah . yeah , so the girls could meet . steffy : yeah . flo : are they , um ... are they here ? liam : uh , nap time . steffy : yeah , they 'll be up soon . but they 've gotten so big . so much has happened since the last time you saw them . phoebe has changed our lives . she is this precious , beautiful part of our family . flo : it 's really nice to know that . i 'm happy that she 's , um , found such a loving family to live with . hope : thank you , thomas . this is exactly what i needed . thomas : for your collection ? hope : and in life . excitement for the future . and it 's -- it 's exactly how i feel when i 'm with douglas . and i just -- i hope you know how important he is to me . thomas : well , douglas and i will always be here for you . just know how dedicated i am to your collection . now i can even see myself , uh , stepping up , being the lead designer , c.e.o . i was just with my father , and we had a really good talk . i think we finally understand each other . hope : that 's wonderful . thomas : i was telling him about the amazing future i see for all of us , but especially for you . what you 've done for everyone -- for kelly and phoebe and douglas ... you 've sacrificed so much . but you did it for the children . you gave kelly and phoebe their family back , gave douglas the -- the love and support that he needs . and that 's what i want to do for you . okay ? i -- i want to be there for you . this company is going to be a success , okay ? you 've got a hot new lead designer . [ hope laughs ] right ? maybe one day you 'll even be walking down that -- that runway , being the face of hope for the future again . come on . tell me you believe me . tell me you believe what i 'm saying . hope : okay ! okay . i do . thomas : it 's gon na be amazing . we 're going to inspire people to be their best selves , okay ? nothing can stop us . hope : you 're crazy . thomas : i 'm crazy about you . hope : i do n't know how to thank you . thomas : i do . humira patients , you inspire us . wyatt : steffy , be honest with me -- ever since he has come back , has he been spoiling those girls ? steffy : [ laughs ] he -- wyatt : has he ? liam : no . wyatt : i 'm telling you ... liam : no . no . you want to talk about spoiling ? dad was here earlier . wyatt : oh , no . liam : yeah . [ phoebe cries ] steffy : oh , that 's phoebe . would you like to see her ? flo : yeah . yeah . liam : i 'll go get her . steffy : okay . wyatt : you , uh -- you sure you 're up for this ? steffy : if you are n't , i can call amelia . she can watch the girls while we go down to the beach . it 's not a problem . flo : no , no , no . i just , um ... i mean , i 'm -- i 'm a little nervous , but it 's only because i -- i just really want what 's best for her . her well - being is really important to me . liam : hey . steffy : [ chuckles ] liam : hi , everybody . steffy : she 's never been happier . flo : she really is beautiful . liam : yeah , she is . [ gasps ] and we ca n't thank you enough for bringing her into our lives . i promise you , flo , i 'm gon na look after her like she 's my own . steffy : liam is an amazing father to both girls . phoebe and kelly are very lucky . liam : yeah . steffy : and so i am i . to have him here . you do n't have to worry . phoebe has the life and family you 've always wanted for her . flo , are you all right ? ridge : thomas admires hope . he 's grateful for the way that she 's bonded with douglas . brooke : [ sighs ] i think it 's more than that . do n't get me wrong -- i 'm not accusing your son of anything . but we both know that he 's had some issues in the past . ridge : issues that were dealt with . brooke : but now he seems to be focused and fixated on hope . look , they 've both been through some very painful moments , and -- ridge : yes , they have . and now they can help each other . brooke : that would be great . i wish that they would . and if they were just friends , then i do n't think we would be having this conversation . but i ca n't ignore what i see , ridge . it 's not healthy . and hope is in a very vulnerable situation . thomas : okay , you were n't expecting that . hope : uh , we were talking about work , the line . thomas : yeah . whenever i 'm around you , i , heh , get the urge to put my arms around you and show you how i feel . remember , i - i have that engagement ring , and i 'm ready to give it to you whenever you are . hope : thomas , i 've explained . thomas : [ sighs ] you 're not ready . hope : and i 'm not sure what `` ready `` will look like . if there will be a day when i wake up and do n't think of beth , or -- or i go to sleep and do n't wonder how my life would have been if she were still here . thomas : but you could have a new life . it wo n't be the same . but it can be good . douglas and i , w - we 'll be here for you . that 's why i 'm doing this . [ scoffs ] i -- i know i might come on strong . i might be moving too fast , all right ? i make mistakes . i 'm not perfect . and i 'm probably gon na make a few more . [ sighs ] but loving you , that 's not one of them . wanting a life with you is n't wrong . i do n't want to hurt you . & you know that , right ? hope : thomas ... you have been so encouraging and so positive . but there 's something else , is n't there ? i can tell you 're upset . thomas : [ clears throat ] hope : so what is it ? you know , it 's like i tell douglas all the time -- you do n't have to hide your feelings from me . you don't . you can talk to me about anything . you can be honest with me . you know that , right ? | as thomas sketches he thinks over all he knows now that phoebe is really beth and is hope 's daughter . he calls steffy to see how the other night went . she says fine ; liam moved in and it seems he is here to stay . it will be in the guest room . he thinks that is fine for now as long as they are raising the two girls . she asks about him and hope raising douglas and he says if it were up to him that would be now . he calls hope and asks if she can come to the office . he is on the verge of something that could make a big impact on things . wyatt and flo swim and then he springs it on her that he has been invited to liam and steffy 's and while phoebe will be there he thought it would be good for her to get past that first meeting . she says she just was not prepared for that today and to deal with things . steffy too is surprised when liam tells her that he invited wyatt over and he probably will bring flo since they are dating . liam apologizes if steffy does not like this . she says no , it 's just it 's only been a few months since the adoption and flo has never asked to see phoebe . wyatt tells flo he is sure all will work out okay and she can see for herself as the birth mom just what she made possible . finally she agrees that maybe it would do her good to see how great a life phoebe does have now . things are going well between ridge and brooke until ridge gets the picture from brooke 's words that she feels thomas 's connection to hope is a little unhealthy . when hope arrives at the office thomas greets her and shows her a bagged gown . she asks if they are waiting on a model and he says she just walked in . he unzips the bag for her . hope tries on the gown and thomas tells her it is really her . she says it looks amazing and is perfect . she thanks him for taking his time to do this for her . he says she is worth it and now a new beginning moving forward . they can do it together . he goes on and on how he just spoke with his dad and he can see him stepping up one day and being ceo and hope there to help him . he and douglas will always be there for her . and she has done so much for the other children , kelly and phoebe . it 's just what hope needs . |
megan : ah , ah , ah , ah , ah . thought you could slip by me , hmm ? ridge : i did n't want to bother you , megan , okay ? megan : right . you mean you did n't want me to stop you from going in and seeing brooke . ridge : now , why would you do that , anyway ? megan : well , you see , part of my job is to keep certain people out of her office . ridge : okay , i deserve that . megan : you blew a good thing , ridge . ridge : thank you , megan , for pointing that out . i really appreciate it . that 's why i 'm here , so i can try to make amends . megan : well , i think it 's a little too late . ridge : only when pit bull 's of an assistant do n't give an inch . megan : brooke went on a date last night , ridge . ridge : yeah , yeah , i know . payne - in - the -- what ? is payne in there now ? megan : well -- yeah , as a matter of fact , payne is . jackie : it is so nice to finally meet you at last . brooke : so nice to meet you . lauren has done nothing but sing your praises . jackie : likewise . i 've been an admirer of the forresters for many years now . brooke : well , i hope that 's still the case . jackie : you 've heard about my run - in with amber , have n't you ? brooke : not every single detail , but i did hear that there was some kind of personality clash . jackie : let 's just call it a misunderstanding . brooke : well , that 's why i asked you here . i wanted to make sure that we did n't chase off a potential client . you are a potential client , are n't you ? jackie : potential ? no . we are officially in business . i have here an order for the winter ambrosia line . fenmore 's wants to carry it in all their west coast stores . brooke : oh , ms . payne , thank you . jackie : please , will you call me jackie ? anyone that knows what someone had for dinner that night before -- a little enchilada with some pico de gallo -- brooke : how would you -- are you -- jackie : mm - hmm ? brooke : nick 's sister ? jackie : oh , my dear , girl -- [ jackie laughs ] we 're going to get along famously . nick : just keep it . nick : so the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone . bridget : hey , you . nick : hi . bridget : look at you , i almost did n't recognize you without the beard . nick : oh , right , right . yeah , i took off a little weight . bridget : well , captain payne in a designer coffee house ? huh ? you better not let corky or your other friends find out about this . nick : well , if they find out , i 'll know who told them . and then a certain someone may find herself back in the hospital . bridget : you heard about that , huh ? nick : yeah . and i also found out why you got there . i was a little curious when forrester picked you up at the boat . he was a little bent out of shape . and now i know why . bridget : well , it 's over now . nick : is it ? bridget : yeah , yeah . he came to me in the hospital and basically said we had to end it , whatever it was . he did n't want me to get hurt again . or anyone else . and he 's right . nick : good . you have n't seen him since ? bridget : hmm - mm . he 's probably really busy with my mom . nick : your mom ? bridget : yeah . i 'm sure they 're back together by now . nick : hmm . why would she have gone out on a date with me ? [ knock on the door ] deacon : go away . macy : deacon ? deacon : there 's nobody here . at least , according to the forrester lawyer there 's nobody . no rights . no power . no kids . nobody . ridge : so , what , are brooke and payne inseparable now ? megan : pretty much . that 's how it would seem . ridge : he take her to the cafe russe ? megan : las olas . ridge : whoa , big spender . megan : i do n't think that matters to brooke . ridge : she 's not exactly the `` slum it `` type . megan : maybe her priorities have changed . ridge : what 'd he do for an encore ? drag her into some sleazy dive to do shooters ? megan : no . let 's see -- they -- they sailed through the marina , looking at the stars . very romantic . ridge : oh , yeah , in that tin can of his ? megan : it was a dinghy . ridge : a dinghy . oh , she must 've loved that . megan : yeah , she did , as a matter of fact . she said it made her feel like a teenager again . ridge : yeah , i 'll bet it did . payne obviously does n't have a clue how to romance a woman . megan : yeah , i would n't be too sure about that . ridge : besides , she hates beards . megan : he shaved for her . ridge : he shaved ? megan : yeah . ridge : how sweet . she fell for that ? megan : ridge , ridge -- ridge : okay , payne , what are you doing in -- megan : smooth , ridge . macy : so you made arrangements with amber to see little eric ? deacon : yeah . but some -- some suit shows up . you know , beverly hills attorney , tells me that the forresters do n't want me to see my kids . macy : well , i hope you told him to go to hell . deacon : the look on his face , you 'd think he was already there . i mean , this guy ripped me up one side and down the other . about where i live , about how i ca n't keep a job , about my -- about my drinking problem . macy : but all that 's changing . deacon : well , apparently , it 's changing too little , too late . mr. young said the forresters do n't want me around eric and hope . i mean , god knows what kind of monsters i can turn them into ? i got him that gorilla . 'cause little `` d `` told me once that it was his favorite animal , because they 're big and they 're strong and nobody pushes them around . macy : deacon -- you 're not who they say you are . deacon : on paper i am . and you put that in the hands of the legal system , which is what rick and brooke want to do -- i 'm screwed . bridget : you and mom ? nick : yeah . last night , as a matter of fact . you might say i swept her off her feet . bridget : oh ? nick : yeah . there was one point where they never touched solid ground . bridget : you took her for a boat ride , did n't you ? nick : yeah . i was being literal about the feet thing . but i do think i charmed the pants off her . bridget : oh , god , please tell you you 're not being literal now . nick : now tell me what 's wrong with two adults spending time together . bridget : nothing , nothing , unless , it 's my mom and anyone but ridge . you know , she does this . she does this . she takes some poor guy , and she just strings him along . nick : right , forrester comes crawling back . i know , she told me about the whole pattern . bridget : and that does n't bother you ? nick : being a stringee ? no , actually i 'm looking forward to it . brooke : i 'm sorry about the interruption , jackie . it wo n't happen again . jackie : well , i 'm just glad that we 're going to be seeing a lot more of each other . and you , young man , i 'm going to have to have a word with your father about your manners . ridge : lovely to see you , jackie . brooke : how do you and eric and she all -- ridge : oh , logan , it 's a long story . brooke : okay , well , forget about that for now . i 'd like to hear you 're story . you 'd better start by getting down on your hands and knees and apologizing for barging in here . bridget : you 're either a head case or a masochist . nick : i think you left out optimist , did n't you ? bridget : what is there to be optimistic about ? i mean , my mom basically told you you 're just a means to an end for her . nick : well , that does n't mean the end has to be forrester , does it ? bridget : oh , god , now you 're delusional . nick : because i do n't think tarzan is a big prize ? no offense . bridget : tarzan ? nick : mm - hmm . bridget : well , the point is mom believes it . nick : i think he 's damaged his image this time . bridget : she 'll forgive him . she always does . nick : there 's one difference , bridget . bridget : what 's that , nick ? nick : this time i 'm in the picture . ridge : you want me on my hands and knees , huh ? brooke : you know i do n't mean it that way . ridge : can i still apologize ? brooke : not that it 's going to do any good . ridge : megan told me you were in here with payne . she neglected to tell me the little detail that it was his mother . brooke : even if i was in here meeting with nick , it does n't mean you can just barge into my office like you have some kind of proprietary right . ridge : well , can i help it if the thought of you and popeye makes me a little nauseous ? you won , brooke , okay ? you won . you 've got everything you want now . brooke : i told you -- ridge : you expect me to believe you 're not getting a little bit of satisfaction out of driving me crazy ? brooke : my date with nick was n't about you , ridge . ridge : oh , so then it was a date then ? brooke : look , we had a good time . that 's all you need to know . now can you please just leave ? ridge : how good a time ? brooke : we did n't spend the night together , if that 's what you 're worried about . and , no , i did n't suddenly discover my soul mate , the one that i never knew i had . we had fun . we danced , and we talked , and we told stories and ate and drank . ridge : we 've done that . brooke : yes , we have , but we 've always had to pay a price -- either fighting with stephanie or fighting with massimo -- or finding out there 's another girl in the picture . i ca n't tell you how nice it was going out with a man and not having to deal with all that history . it 's kind of like the way you and i used to be . i would get excited about seeing you . and we would have a great time , do silly things and daring things . and the rush that would come with that -- and we had our whole lives ahead of us . we just could do anything . and everything was possible . that 's what i want . that is what i deserve -- what everyone deserves . ridge : look , i know that we ca n't go back to square one , logan . but i do n't think that needs to prevent us from finding that freedom again . i know we can do it . brooke : ridge , it was hard enough with caroline . and it was even harder with taylor . and now , how am i supposed to find that freedom with you after everything that happened with bridget ? i remember a long time ago , when we first started seeing each other -- we were up in the cabin sitting by the fireplace . and you looked at me , and i 'll never forget the look in your eyes . it was as if you just folded me into your arms and promised me that nothing would ever hurt me ever again . so , how am i supposed to look into your eyes now , ridge -- and believe anything that you say ? how ? please tell me how . macy : so you 're just gon na let brooke and her son get their way ? deacon : `` please , god , grant me the serenity to accept the things i can not change . `` macy : `` and the courage to change the things i can . `` you owe it to your children to at least try . deacon : see , i do n't want my kids growing up thinking their dad abandoned them . but if brooke and rick wan na keep me away , what am i gon na do ? i do n't exactly have the resources to fight 'em . you know , $ 1.50 in the bank is not gon na get me johnnie cochran . macy : well , i would n't be so sure , deacon . i mean , with the foresters involved , that 's publicity . i guarantee you , there are any number of influential attorneys out there who would be willing to represent you . deacon : you know , there 'll come a moment when i have to prove that i 'm a decent role model . now how the hell am i gon na do that ? macy : because you 'll be one . you already are ! come on , you 're going to meetings . you 've got a good job . deacon : right , an agent with one client . macy : make that two . that is , if you 're willing to represent me . deacon : you mean i -- i ca n't do that . that 's above and beyond the call . macy : i 'm not doling out charity here . it just so happens that i want to get my career back on track . i need somebody with talent and fresh ideas . deacon : you think that i could help you ? macy : i sure do . come on , you took an unknown , and you turned her into a star overnight . when i think about the agents that do nothing but sit around town , sittin ' on their butts and collecting people 's money -- deacon : you know , i 'd work hard for you . i would , every day . macy : i do n't doubt that for one second . now , do we have a deal ? deacon : you know nobody has ever done anything like this for me . macy : well , they 've been missing out . deacon : thank you . ridge : you 're right . i did n't keep my promise . i did n't protect you the way i said i would . brooke : is this where you try and defend yourself ? ridge : i could give you all the reasons in the world , brooke , but the fact is -- i blew it . you gave me your heart , and i let the world stomp on it . massimo , mother -- i should 've stopped them cold . i should have done everything in my power to keep them away from you . but even worse than that -- i 've always put all of my women on pedestals . everyone but you . brooke : why ? why , ridge ? ridge : maybe because it 's easy to love the perfect woman . no risk of being hurt . but you -- you and all your crazy , wonderful , passionate , human frailties . i knew i 'd have to put it all on the line , brooke . was i scared to death ? you 're damn right i was . did i want to just turn and run to another ideal woman ? no . no . because you have always been the one i depend on , brooke . when everything in this damn world seems like it makes no sense at all , you 're the one that i need . brooke : ridge . ridge : brooke , let me love you . let me love you . let me give you what you 've always given me . let me give you my heart . let me give you all of my heart . brooke : no . ridge : brooke -- brooke : i 'm sorry , ridge .
