[ scene_break ] stephanie : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i just -- i just get this way sometimes when i think about brooke and every -- everything she 's done , and all the times i tried to stop her and i could n't , and ... it would have been such a difference if i 'd been able to do that especially for ridge and taylor and tom . eric : ( scoffs ) stop it . now come on . stephanie : okay , i 'll put the lights out . go ahead . [ scene_break ] dayzee : this deal of stephanie 's that you accepted -- thomas , i know you . this ca n't only be about your position in the company . you would n't do something like this just for money and power . there has to be more . [ scene_break ] hope : mm , i do n't want this night to end . liam : so do n't let it . stay . hope : what , you mean , like , spend the night ? liam : why do n't you be here when the sun comes up ? i mean , i do n't ... i do n't need to make love to you . i just want to be with you . hope : really ? liam : i just want to hold you . i just -- i just want you in my arms all night long . and i do n't need to push you for more . i promise . hope : i know . i trust you . liam : good . you should . hope : i do . ( bianca moon 's `` solid ground `` playing ) let it go , breathe it in let it get under your skin and let me hold you tight and never let you go . if you 're scared you can cry but just know that you and i will be together when this song comes to an end . [ scene_break ] amber : i know you probably do n't believe a word i have to say . brooke : do you blame me ? amber : look , i know i have a lot to make up for . rosey : ( fusses ) amber : i mean ... rosey : ( cries ) amber : what i did to hope and liam -- it 's -- it 's unforgiveable . it is . i know , baby . i mean , trying to entrap him -- i - i do n't know what 's wrong with me , why i keep screwing my life up , why i keep making one bad decision after the next . but one thing i do know is that i have to change . i do . because i have a little life depending on me , and i want to -- i want to do it right . i want to do everything right for her . i believe every child is a blessing . i 'm lucky for my little rosey . she 's gon na be a really strong logan woman , too . is n't that right ? yeah . [ scene_break ] stephanie : ( scoffs ) you just do n't understand , tom , because you do n't know the things that she 's done over the years . you do n't understand the things that i have to do to protect the people that i love . brooke : the queen herself , stephanie forrester . ridge : put it on her finger . stephanie : i did n't have a choice . i did n't have a choice then , and i do n't have one now . but i sure wish you would understand . someday , maybe you can . you wo n't be angry , and you 'll forgive me . [ scene_break ] dayzee : you know , there has to be more . what pushed you into this lie ? thomas : when my dad came to search for brooke and me , okay , it was n't just my dad . dayzee : yeah , bill spencer came with his jet , and steffy and -- thomas : and my mom . dayzee : ( sighs ) thomas : look , when i realized the two of them went halfway around the world to find brooke and me , i ... my mother , she told me about their dedication to ... to bring me home and their commitment as two parents trying to bring their child back alive , the bond they still shared . dayzee : that 's it . your parents . well , i know stephanie always felt they belonged together . thomas : ( sighs ) dayzee : and you do , too ? thomas : you do n't have to tell me how i did it was wrong . dayzee : i 'm not going to . thomas : i do n't know how i got myself wrapped up in this . this is where i am . ( scoffs ) i do n't know what to do . dayzee : yes , you do , thomas . you know exactly what you have to do . [ scene_break ] stephanie : ( sighs ) they were n't all bad memories . there were some nice ones , too . oh , boy , this is fabulous ! brooke : that is the stephanie i know . stephanie : and hate . brooke : and love . i know you love me . [ scene_break ] thomas : it 's just so wrong , it 's pathetic . dayzee : there is nothing pathetic about a son wanting to see his mom happy or his family reunited . but this secret that you 're keeping -- it is not you , thomas . okay , you are a giving and loving man who got caught up in something that he now regrets . we 've all been there . i 've been there . okay , what matters now is stepping forward with the truth and walking out of all of this guilt and pain that you 've been feeling . thomas : you 're right . first thing tomorrow , i 'm going to my grandma . the truth has to come out . dayzee : i 'll go with you . thomas : no , you do n't have to . dayzee : i want to . i 'll be right by your side , and together , we will make this right , okay ? we 'll tell your mom and ridge the truth . thomas : ( sighs )	stephanie looks into the large mirror on the wall .it 's almost like `` magic mirror on the wall , who 's the biggest liar of all . `` stephanie says it is not brooke , it is her . dayzee still does not understand why stephanie or thomas would do this to brooke . he confides that stephanie came to him and promised him 25 % of the company and dayzee knows how much that means to him . it secures his role in the future . he admits he gave in and now that is a heavy price to pay . it 's been eating him up inside ever since . everyone passes rosey around and tells marcus that she is a beautiful baby . amber comes in and sees the whole logan clan there and sarcastically thanks marcus . he assures her this is not an ambush ; the baby is sleeping in the bedroom . brooke tells her that she is glad the baby is sleeping as there are a few things she 'd like to say . liam and hope continue to kiss passionately until it is clear that he wants to go further and she has to say that she is not ready . she wants to , but he understands it is her first time and a really big step . she says she is sorry , she knows how important this is to him , but after all that has happened she wants to wait until it is just the right time . he wonders if that means marriage . he admits it is a little old fashioned , but she knows that he wo n't pressure her . she says that is what makes her love him so much .

[ door opens ] [ door slams ] deacon : now , where you coming from ? deacon : i asked you a question . was it , uh , another one you 're not gon na answer ? quinn : [ sighs ] what would you like to know ? deacon : i wondered where you were . i mean , it is kind of late for , uh , an attractive woman to be walking around alone at night . quinn : [ scoffs ] what , are you -- you worried about my virtue ? deacon : [ chuckles ] quinn : [ scoffs ] oh , that is so sweet . do n't -- do n't worry , though . i have been navigating my own life all by myself for quite some time now . deacon : so that 's a no . quinn : you know , i said you could stay here because i 'm nice like that . does n't mean we 're gon na be bffs and share all our little secrets . deacon : i suppose you 're not interested where i was tonight . quinn : any reason i should be ? deacon : i went to go pay a little visit to wyatt . quinn : and what brought that on ? deacon : well , i just figured i 'd check the guy out myself . you know , i wanted to surprise him , take measure of him when he was n't on guard . quinn : did he pass your little test ? deacon : and then some . he is a very impressive young man . quinn : see ? i told you . deacon : and he 's clearly very in love with hope . quinn : yep , and she is in love with him . deacon : yeah , well , that 's what you might think . but hope does n't . quinn : that 's because liam 's got her brainwashed . what ? okay , i 'm sorry . wrong word . he knows how to control her , emotionally manipulate her . he 's always there . he 's always in her face , slinging cheap memories and playing on her guilt . deacon : you know , you make her sound like she 's a puppet . quinn : no . that 's not what i mean . she 's a caring and sensitive young woman , and liam knows how to manipulate that . he 's a spoiled little brat . he 's pouty , whiny , likes to hold his breath until he gets what he wants . he does n't deserve hope . he 's just a -- he 's a little puppy . he 's afraid of his own shadow .

[ grinder buzzing ] caroline : how do you want to handle this ? rick : in a way that best protects aly . she 's my niece . you know , life has n't dealt her a great hand , and i 'm not gon na let someone on our payroll , no less , play her to secure a position here , no matter how much i like the guy . maya : i think that 's smart . when you 're dealing with someone as fragile as aly , it 's better to err on the side of caution . rick : which is why you brought that recording to me . maya : i 'm glad you understand . rick : yeah . will you send it to me ? maya : right away . caroline : who are you calling ? rick : aly . i want to see if she 's with oliver . it went straight to voicemail . maya : they 're probably together ... as we speak .

[ scene_break ] steffy : you think the world 's ready ? liam : for what ? steffy : we keep going back and forth on it . another forrester lingerie line . liam : uh . yeah . well , trust me , the world is always ready to see steffy forrester in more lingerie . steffy : unh - unh . be careful . liam : [ chuckles ] be careful ? steffy : an old married man like you -- can you handle it ? i 'm kidding . i 'm kidding . come on . liam : [ sighs ] steffy : [ chuckles ] liam : steffy ... steffy : you 're getting an annulment . you can joke about it now , right ? liam : [ laughs ] okay . [ scene_break ] aly : i ... do n't understand . he married you . he would n't do that if he had feelings for steffy . ivy : oh , my gosh . there 's so much to catch you up on . um ... i was getting deported , aly . aly : deported ? ! ivy -- ivy : no . aly , it 's fine . it 's all fine now . i mean , it was pretty scary for a little while . aly : so , liam stepped up . he married you so you could stay . ivy : that 's the only reason , though . he never would have married me otherwise . aly : because of steffy . [ scene_break ] steffy : so , how 's the annulment ? liam : well , i spoke to carter . he 's -- he 's drawing up the paperwork . steffy : handy having carter around . he should give you a two - for - one discount . you booked him for your wedding . he should give you half - off on the divorce . liam : [ chuckles ] hey , could we , um , not joke about my marriage anymore ? i just -- i ... i wanted to help ivy . steffy : i know . and i know you do n't like the idea of hurting her . but do n't kid yourself . you jumped at the chance to annul the marriage . liam : [ sighs ] yeah , i did . steffy : here 's the thing -- if you 're planning to carry a teeny tiny torch for ivy , i suggest she dyes her hair blond . liam : why ? steffy : i prefer battling blondes for your attention . it 's easy to tell us apart . liam : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] nicole : i think i 've seen a picture of your mom . short black hair ? zende : uh , that 's my aunt felicia . my mom 's the blonde . nicole : oh . okay . so , then you obviously take after your dad ? zende : well , maybe a little . uh , i never really saw the resemblance . you know , maybe in the eyes ? you know , there was a -- there were whispers about an affair with the mailman . makes me wonder if ... well , you know . [ laughs ] i 'm kidding . i 'm adopted . nicole : what ? ! zende : [ chuckles ] nicole : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] maya : so , uh ... man , i - i just could n't believe it when i heard . you were just walking along and ... caroline : wham ! yeah , just out of nowhere . maya : that 's horrible . i ca n't imagine . but you 're up and about . caroline : well , yeah . uh , you know , a little bit more every single day , and it 's a huge thanks to ridge , really . i mean ... maya : oh , you can say it . caroline : say what ? maya : that i was n't honest with rick . that i was using him and manipulating him . caroline : were you ? [ scene_break ] ivy : after i found out i have dual citizenship , i realized i did n't have to be married to liam . part of me did n't want to tell him . aly : and quinn encouraged that . i still ca n't believe you talked to her . ivy : it just -- it just -- it all felt wrong , you know ? i actually really want to be married to liam someday , but not -- not like this . aly : so , you 're not giving up . ivy : no . [ chuckles ] no , of course not . i - i love liam , and i know that he cares about me . i 'm not gon na just hand him over to steffy . aly : good . do n't give up . keep fighting for him . there is no way that liam would choose taylor 's slutty daughter over you . [ scene_break ] liam : just to be clear , there 's no battle going on . steffy : you must not have heard ivy earlier . she still believes you guys have a future . you might not think there 's a battle brewing , but she certainly does . i 'm not happy about it . when i first found out you married ivy , i told you i 'm not gon na wait around for you to decide who you want . but now that you 're getting an annulment ... we 'll see . now , let 's get back to work . liam : is that not what we 've been doing ? steffy : oh , budgets and all this ? no , no , no . that 's boring . i have a much better use of our time . [ scene_break ] zende : okay , the look on your face -- i mean ... nicole : look , i 'm not usually that gullible , i swear . the mailman ? [ chuckles ] anyway . you ever try tracking down your birth parents ? zende : they , uh -- they 're gone . nicole : oh , my gosh . me and my big mouth . i 'm really sorry i -- zende : it 's fine . you know , i do n't mind talking about it . both of my parents died of aids , my little brother , too . nicole : i am so sorry . how old were you ? zende : six . and you 're probably too polite to ask , so i 'll just tell you . no , i 'm not hiv - positive . but my dad is . tony , i mean . i think that helped him feel a connection to me when we met . they were on their honeymoon . and i saw her drop a roll of film . [ zende 's flashback ] kristen : my film . my gosh , but i dropped that all the way in town . zende : i brought it back for you . tony : what 's your name , little man ? zende : zende . tony : zende . i 'm tony . zende : it 's very nice to meet you . [ present time ] zende : they visited me the next day at the orphanage . [ zende 's flashback ] zende : welcome . please come in . kristen : thank you . zende : this is my home . kristen : wow . got a full house . zende : these are just the babies . the older ones are outside .

[ scene_break ] maya : i do n't expect you to understand . but i did n't feel like i was lying . caroline : that 's interesting , you know , because ... you were so involved with ridge and -- and with me and the innocent kisses . you were obsessed , even , you know ? and -- and i suffered because of your accusations . maya : but you did lie . and the kisses were n't that innocent , were they ? you were cheating , and you were doing everything you could to cover it up . caroline : yeah , but ... what you were trying to cover up was a - a little more intense . maya : no . no , i -- you know , i 'm a woman . and i 've always felt like a woman in my heart . my childhood was lie . being raised a boy was a lie , but this -- the woman rick fell in love with ? this is truth . this is me . rick has only ever known the real me . [ scene_break ] ivy : aly , there is no need for name calling . aly : maybe you 're too nice to say the truth , but i 'm not . steffy uses her body to get what she wants . liam does n't want to be with someone like that . he 'll make the right choice , the decent choice , because deep down , liam is a good man . he proved that by marrying you when you needed help . he 'll prove it again . at least , he better . [ scene_break ] liam : note number one -- takes too long to change into . steffy : uh , excuse me ? liam : yeah , how long have you been back there ? steffy : somebody 's eager to see me in lingerie . geez . so ? liam : uh , yeah , note number two -- it 'll sell out fast . steffy : really ? you think ? liam : oh , yeah . it 's beautiful . steffy : okay , note number three -- the underwire is a little uncomfortable , but other than that , i think -- yeah . liam : other than that , i think it 's a winner . steffy : right ? [ scene_break ] nicole : so , tony and kristen go to africa on a honeymoon and come back with a kid ? zende : not quite . they flew home . they realized they could n't possibly live without me , you know ? nicole : oh , right . [ chuckles ] zende : i do n't know . i guess them seeing the orphanage really affected them . nicole : they flew all the way back . zende : yeah . [ zende 's flashback ] tony : we came back for something we left behind . kristen : we got back to los angeles , and we missed you . we missed you so much . and we figured since you 're living here without any parents and we 're living there without any children , it made us sad . so , we decided that , um -- that you could come live with us and be our son . [ present time ] zende : [ chuckles ] got my first passport that day with my new name on it . [ scene_break ] maya : rick knows about my past , and he chose to stay with me . so , let that answer whether or not you think i was lying . caroline : he knows about it now , but you kept it from him for so long . maya : and i regret that . he was upset that so many people knew before him . but when your uncle was trying to do his worst , i did what i thought was best . i left the company , i severed all ties , i left the job and the man that i love because that 's what i thought was best for rick , the man i love . so , go ahead . say whatever you want to say , whatever names -- myrna , myra , whatever else you 've thought up since you 've learned about my past . take your best shot , caroline . go ahead and hurt me , if you can . [ scene_break ] steffy : so , what do you think about the fabric ? liam : [ chuckles ] i think there 's not much to think about . steffy : no , you -- you have to feel it . liam : all right . what little there is of it . liam : uh , yeah ... aly : take your hands off of him ! liam : aly , do n't worry . this is just work . aly : [ scoffing ] oh , you call this work ? steffy prancing around in her underwear ? steffy : actually , it 's for the lingerie line , and i was hardly prancing . aly : ca n't you -- ca n't you see what she 's doing ? she 's trying to take ivy away from you . liam : no , no , no , no , no . this has nothing to do with ivy . aly : you care about her . i know you do . how can you just push her aside now that steffy 's back jiggling around the office ? steffy : ooh , aly , you are way out of line . aly : no , you 're out of line , steffy . you know , i thought things would change around here with you and ridge in charge , but i was wrong . all we did was exchange a tyrant for a slut . steffy : oh , sit down , aly . aly : i will not let you do this . i will not let you ruin liam and ivy 's lives . [ scene_break ] nicole : i have no right to complain about my childhood ever again . what you what through -- i ca n't even -- [ sighs ] there 's no comparison . zende : hey , we all got to do what we got to do . and i 'm guessing you have n't had the easiest time , either ... related to maya . nicole : what do you mean ? you have a problem with maya ? zende : i just ca n't believe you 're her sister . [ scene_break ] maya : go ahead . tell me how horrible i am and how wrong i was to keep this part of my past from rick . caroline : i mean , i do n't need to do that , maya . [ sniffles ] you already know those things . you do . if you do n't want to call it lying , that 's fine . i - i disagree . [ sniffles ] because you let a man fall in love with you without knowing the full truth , and that 's lying -- it is . maya : i do n't think you understand how complicated it is . caroline : no , i do n't think that you understand [ voice breaking ] how painful that time in my life was for me . my marriage was falling apart and i was humiliated ... and judged by you and by rick . so to find all this out now ? ! it brings up some very bitter feelings for me . i do n't approve of how you handled things . i do n't . but i moved on now . and i 'm happy . i am . i 'm happy with ridge . and i 'm realizing that i -- i want rick to be happy , too , and ... i want rick to find a woman that makes him happy . and he found that in you . because you are -- you are a beautiful and courageous woman . i have two moms . i was ridiculed growing up , too . i mean , kids are mean . they 're terrible . you -- i do n't have to tell you that . they 're awful . i never felt like i fit in . i always -- i always was an outsider looking in , and ... i ca n't even begin to compare that to what you must have been through . i ca n't even begin to know what that must have been like for you . i ca n't . so , yeah , i think you lied . yes , and -- [ sighs ] i think you 're a hypocrite , but i respect you . and i admire you because you had the strength and the courage to become the person that you are today -- someone that rick is proud of . because you persevered , maya . you did that , and i have to tell you -- you are one kick - ass woman . i like you just the way you are .	nicole shows zende around . he has n't been in the building for a long time so it 's all pretty new to him and he 's impressed with the roof top lounge and all . he teases her but finally says he was adopted and he 's a forrester . she is sorry to hear the back story with his parents dying of aids . but tony and kristen visited his orphanage and adopted him . aly wishes ivy had told her so she could have been at the wedding . ivy tells her no big deal as the marriage is going to be annulled . aly can not believe liam would marry her if he had feelings for steffy . ivy tells aly that liam stepped up and kept her from being deported . then she found out she could not be deported after all . she wanted to be married to liam someday but not like this . she is not giving up and she will not just hand him over to steffy . caroline stops in to see maya and both welcome each other back in the office . then they get honest about being back and how it feels seeing each other . she reminds caroline that she was kissing ridge and covering it up . maya says her childhood was a lie and she is a woman and this is the truth . rick has always known her as a woman , the real `` me `` . steffy jokes with liam about his marriage . carter married them and now he is drawing up the annulment papers , he should get some sort of discount . liam asks that she not joke about this . so then she starts that ivy needs to dye her hair blonde so he could tell them apart and her vie for his attention . she repeats again that she is not going to fight ivy for him but as long as there is an annulment that is another story . aly tells ivy that she is too nice but she is not . deep down liam is a good man and there is no way he will pick slutty steffy over her . steffy models some lingerie for liam who thinks she looks hot and it will sell out immediately . aly walks in and sees the closeness and barks at steffy to take her hands off of liam . she tells liam that he should see what steffy is doing in trying to take him away from ivy . she harasses steffy for parading around in her underwear although steffy reminds her they are working and this is her lingerie line .
steffy : we , uh , almost ready ? katie : yeah , uh , just doing a little tech and setting some lighting . we 're good to go . liam : yeah , and jarrett should be here soon with his crew . steffy : okay . wyatt : do n't worry , dad 's not gon na write a false review or anything ... liam : dude . wyatt : what ? is it too soon ? i thought it was kind of funny . steffy : are the reps from the charity here ? katie : yes , and they 're very excited . liam : and appreciative , apparently . wyatt : they should do well in monte carlo . steffy : well , keep up the good work . i know this calendar shoot is kind of a test run , but i want everyone to give it their all . i bet thomas is regretting his decision to try to save spectra right about now . sally : i ca n't get over it . this is me and my company with class written all over it . thomas : that 's the idea . sally : well , you did a beautiful job . thank you for making me feel so successful . thomas : it 's just a logo . but with these , our designs -- you will absolutely be successful . sally : well , how can we miss with my stud designer ? thomas : there are plenty of ways that we can miss this . we 've got to be able to compete realistically with forrester creations and steffy . ridge : sounds like everything 's going great up there . the photo shoot 's about to start . eric : you know , they asked me to model some of the swimwear , but i passed . i did n't want to upstage the boys , you know , rick or carter ... ridge : i think you look great in a bathing suit . i 'd buy a calendar with you on the cover . eric : i 'm not so sure that the charity we represent would , uh , actually appreciate that . ridge : i know someone who would appreciate it . eric : i appreciate her , too . quinn is the reason for the spring in my step these days . quinn : so , what are you doing here , sheila ? besides your obvious attempt to intimidate me . sheila : intimidate you ? is that how you 're feeling ? because that 's not my intention . quinn : [ laughs ] okay , then what exactly is your intention ? sheila : i 'm just a friend of eric 's . do i need more of a reason ? quinn : well , he 's my husband , and this is inappropriate . i should n't have to point that out to you . sheila : i 'm not here to hit on him . i just want eric 's happiness . quinn : which is exactly what i want . sheila : really ? then why do you seem so uncomfortable ? nervous . i mean , dare i say guilty ? is there something you should feel guilty about ? carter : hey , everybody . maya : hi ! carter : where 's zende ? i thought he was part of this . rick : oh , he 's busy designing for the fashion show in monte carlo . ivy : yeah , they 'll shoot his setup later . maya : yeah , no free pass for zende . rick : nope . nicole : yeah , not with that body . [ laughter ] liam : yes . [ cell phone rings ] thomas : yeah ? steffy : how 's it going ? thomas : oh , creative freedom , dreams coming true , everything i 've ever wanted ? fantastic . steffy : you heard about the monte carlo showing ? thomas : yeah , no , i 'm not gon na be able to make that . steffy : did i say you were invited ? thomas : did n't say i wanted to come . steffy : [ scoffs ] where 's spectra holding theirs ? in the middle of nowhere ? thomas : hmm . funny . steffy : well , uh , we 're doing a shoot for charity . jarrett 's streaming it live if you want to check it out , see what you 're missing . sally : the princess ? thomas : only and only . sally : what ? thomas : we have to get buzz going about this . pam : do n't get me wrong , charlie . i respect eric so much for his willingness to forgive and , you know , think that people can change , but to invite her back in the house ... look , it 's all right here on the internet . i mean , she has been in prison more than once . and she has done so much to hurt my family . charlie : so , you got a picture of this , uh , black widow ? pam : um ... right there . charlie : oh , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . oh , god . that 's sheila carter ? pam : yeah . why ? charlie : oh ! remember i was telling you that woman at the restaurant asking all the questions about the forresters and eric ? pam : y - you mean ... that was sheila ? well , you did n't tell her anything , did you , charlie ? what did she ask you ? charlie : i do n't know ... pam : charlie ! tell me . what have you done ? quinn : i want you to leave . sheila : you 're upset . quinn : of course i 'm upset . my husband 's ex - wife shows up at my house and tells me how much she cares about my husband . sheila : as i said , i just want eric 's happiness . quinn : well , that 's my job . i 'm his wife , and we are very happy . sheila : you and eric ... and ridge . quinn : what are you getting at , sheila ? sheila : nothing . as long as you are a loving , devoted wife , you have nothing to worry about , quinn . goodbye . eric : you know , things got pretty rough there , even before the shootings . spectra stole our whole line . you and i had to bounce back . we worked our tails off , did n't we ? and now katie 's heading up this whole new swimwear concept , and you and i are still designing together . quinn is by my side . ridge : not too bad , huh ? eric : not bad at all . [ cell phone rings ] quinn : are you at the office with your father ? ridge : yes . quinn : i need to see you . now . ridge : is there a problem ? quinn : huge . i 'm at the house . can you just please get here as quickly as you can ? ridge : i 'll be right there . eric : another fire to put out ? ridge : something like that . eric : want some help ? ridge : not on this one . sally : that call from steffy . thomas : yeah . sally : have you guys always been competitive in that way ? thomas : i mean , i could swim the entire length of a pool holding my breath before she could . sally : whoo ! my hero . thomas : yes , i am twice her size and her older brother , so it does n't really mean anything , but yeah , we are competitive . and it brings out the best in us . for instance , forrester 's on top right now . and we have to compete with them , but how ? i mean , we have to do something that is complete spectra and completely unique . i 've got an idea . and it 's a page right out of your book . jarrett : that was wonderful ! i loved it . just give me that one one more time . steffy : okay . we 've got swimsuits , sun , and a whole lot of fun coming up on `` eye on fashion . `` jarrett : wonderful ! thank you ! steffy : great . that was it ? jarrett : yes . thank you . okay , uh , go grab some b - roll and behind - the - scenes shots , please . thank you . great . so , um , the , uh , spencer brothers tell me that this calendar shoot is a teaser , an exclusive for us , but that 's it . so , uh , a teaser for what , exactly ? steffy : well , it 's , uh ... it 's kind of a party on the beach in monte carlo . jarrett : really ? steffy : well , yeah . it 's a beach party and it 's a fashion show and charity event all rolled into one . katie : we 're collaborating with spencer publications at the upcoming summit . jarrett : steffy , you are a genius . steffy : oh , i -- i wish i could take the credit , but actually that goes to katie logan , our new head of pr . it was her brainchild . charlie : i can tell you one person that likes quinn just fine . ridge . quinn is a - okay with ridge . sheila : no ... ridge and quinn ? how could do they betray eric like that ? ridge : sheila carter came here ? quinn : she barged in like she was part of the family . the woman is horrible ! ridge : if my dad does n't put an end to her coming over ... quinn : no , no , no , no , no . you can not bring your father into this . ridge : why ? she 's coming here to see him . quinn : no ! she came here to see me . ridge : no , she barely knows you . quinn : she thinks she does . you should have heard the things she was saying . ridge : like what ? quinn : she was ... probing . about the house -- who lives here and who does n't . and then she was asking questions about you . ridge : about me ? quinn : about you . living in the guest house . [ sighs ] i know -- i know you 're gon na think this sounds crazy , but the way she was talking makes me think she knows about us , about our secret . sheila : charlie , we need to talk . charlie : how 'd you get on the premises ? sheila : i told you . i 'm a friend of the family . charlie : you 're no friend of the family , and you 're certainly no friend of mine . come on . let me escort you -- sheila : no , no , no ! stop ! this is important . charlie : i 'll bet it is , sheila carter . sheila : you know my name . well , of course you would . i mean , you 're a security expert . charlie : what do you want ? sheila : i think you 're right . i think you 're onto something , charlie . charlie : i never said i was onto anything . sheila : no , no . it 's okay . i 'm on your side . it 's about ridge and quinn . i think something might be going on behind eric 's back involving his wife and his son . charlie : what do you want ? sheila : i want what 's best for eric . he 's too good . i would n't be able to live with myself if i did n't do something to try and help him . charlie : like what ? sheila : you know , i had an interesting conversation earlier with quinn , and i want to tell you what , she was acting like a woman who was guilty as hell . i want to talk to ridge . charlie : he 's not here . he left a little while ago . sheila : [ scoffs ] well , quinn probably called him right after our talk ! come on , charlie . let 's go ! charlie : go where ? sheila : your car . i want you to take me to the forrester estate . sally : wait , you 're serious about this ? i thought we agreed , no more underhand . thomas : oh , no , no , no . it 's not underhanded . chalk it up to some friendly competition . sally : well , i 'm always up for friendly competition , but steffy , not so much . thomas : mm - hmm . well , it is a swimwear shoot , so why do n't we go in there and make a splash ? sally : [ giggles ] steffy : nice addition to the company , is n't she , jarrett ? jarrett : it 's brilliant , katie . elegance , fashion , and a beach party to boot ? it 's the embodiment of forrester . how did you come up with it ? katie : well , um ... wyatt : she 's a logan . need i say more ? katie : i 'm honored that eric asked me to head up pr . i actually started in public relations , so it 's nice to get back to my roots . but we have a lot to pull off , so , um , could you give me a hand , wyatt ?

sheila : if something is going on with quinn , eric has a right to know . especially if it 's between his son and his wife . ridge : that 's impossible . sheila does n't know about us . quinn : i do n't know where she could have heard it or how , but she was asking all these veiled questions about you and me . what if she knows ?

brooke does n't want this secret to come out , katie just saved your life , and ivy , she 's not gon na say anything . so stop . please stop imagining things . quinn : i am not imagining this . it was easy to keep brooke and katie and even ivy quiet , but sheila carter is dangerous . who knows what she 'll do ? charlie : okay , time 's up . sheila : no , no , no , no , no ! i want to see this with my own eyes . charlie : look , there 's nothing to see . i mean , just forget i said anything . sheila : i ca n't . i care too much about eric , and so should you ! charlie : you know , we both could be wrong . sheila : not a chance . quinn was -- was nervous . i -- the minute i mentioned ridge ... i was n't even accusing her . i was just asking innocent questions . charlie : oh , `` innocent questions `` -- yeah , i 'll bet ! sheila : you 're in law enforcement , you have instincts . if you 'd been in that room with quinn and me , you would have known she was hiding something . ah , but you already know that , do n't you ? charlie : i got no proof of anything . sheila : you 're not hiding something from me , are you ? that would be a mistake -- a very big mistake . i 'm gon na ask you one more time . is something going on between eric 's wife and son ? answer me , charlie . answer me !	everyone is buzzing around for the swimsuit shoot . liam says jarrett is thrilled and wyatt adds that he is not going to be writing a bad review . thomas reminds sally they need to work hard as they need to really compete with fc . steffy calls thomas and asks if he knows about the monte carlo shooting . he says yes but he 's not going to make that . he tells sally again they need to get going on this . they have to do something huge and he will take a page from her book . eric tells ridge that quinn is the reason for the spring in his steps nowadays . and he started to offer to model some of the swimwear but he did not want to show up the boys . he remarks they got so far behind when spectra stole everything but it has thrown them together again to design and that is a good thing . quinn asks again why sheila is there in her home . sheila asks if is she feeling guilty and does she have anything to feel guilty about . sheila remarks she only wants eric 's happiness . quinn says they are very happy so sheila has no worry . sheila says okay , it is eric and ridge . quinn wonders what she is getting at . sheila says likewise that quinn has nothing to worry about . charlie is shocked when he asks about sheila and pam shows him the picture and he sees it is the woman he has been speaking with about eric . quinn calls ridge and tells him she needs to see him right away ; they have a huge problem . sheila searches the internet and says quinn and ridge , how could she betray him .
nick : excuse me ? what did you just tell me ? massimo : the truth , dominick . the truth . you 're my son . that 's the reason your mother gave you that ring . she did n't -- she did n't buy it in a pawn shop . i left it by accident the night that your mother and i -- dominick , we were involved -- in spite of the fact that she was married . and -- [ massimo sighs ] -- she got pregnant . my child . he was not your father , dominick . i am . dr. brauer : i 'm sorry i do n't have better news for you . bridget : so am i . thank you , dr. brauer . brooke : bridget , hi . bridget : mom . brooke : how 's jackie ? bridget : she still has n't come to . brooke : i told nick i 'd call him and tell him what 's going on here , but -- bridget : did you speak to him ? brooke : i saw him taking off on his boat . the thought of losing his mother was just too much for him . i do n't know what he 's gon na do if jackie does n't pull through . she 's the only real connection that he has . would it be all right if -- could i see her ? bridget : i 'm not supposed to do this , but she 's in room 304 . just go around the corner and down the hall , mom . brooke : honey , thanks . bridget : you 're welcome . ridge : hey there . bridget : ridge . [ monitor beeping ] brooke : jackie ? jackie , it 's brooke logan . i promised your son i 'd look in on you . he 'd be here himself , but then you know your son . risks his life to save his crew members , but when it comes to seeing his mother in a hospital bed -- god , he loves you so much . you 're so lucky to have each other . i promised him that i would be there for him . and i will . but i 'm not the one he needs right now . he needs you , his mother . hang in there , jackie . you 're all the family he 's got . nick : what kind of game are you playing here , marone ? massimo : think about it . think about it . dominick , why would i want to make this up ? nick : i do n't know . maybe you like collecting kids . instant family . first forrester , now me . go build your marone dynasty with somebody else . i ai n't buying it . bridget : what are you doing here ? ridge : looking for your mom . she said she was coming to visit jackie payne . bridget : oh , yeah . she 's in there with her now . ridge : yeah . i was hoping to catch her before she went in . bridget : is it important ? because i -- ridge : no , no , no . do n't pull her out of there . she 's on a mission of mercy for nick payne . bridget : huh . ridge : what ? is that the `` am i jealous `` look ? not that i have a right to be , you know ? bridget : i think you have every right to be . ridge : i do n't know . i ca n't really blame her for getting involved with someone else , can i ? bridget : oh , ridge , let 's be honest . i do n't think she 's really involved . i think this is just another one of her vacations from you . ridge : well , i 'm not so sure of that anymore . bridget : well , if there is something to this , what are you gon na do ? ridge : the only thing i can do . fight like hell to get her back . brooke : i 've only known you and your son a short time , but it 's felt so good . he 's pretty amazing . and you 're proud of him . i know you are . i 'll bet his dad would have been proud of him , too . it 's too bad that nick had so little time with him . jackie ? jackie , can you hear me ? oh , my god . jackie ? jackie , wake up . wake up . massimo : that ring belongs to you . it 's -- it 's your birthright . nick : it 's funny , a couple of months ago , you accused me of stealing it . massimo : because i did n't know who you were to me then . nick : if i was your kid , i think my mother would 've told me . massimo : she did n't even tell me until tonight . dominick , my god , i left seattle , i did n't even know she was pregnant . nick : my mother did n't have affairs , marone . massimo : dominick , listen to me , please . what jacqueline and i had was not an affair . i loved her . i loved your mother , and she loved me . nick : she loved my father . massimo : she tried . god , did she try . but he did n't make it easy . he was not a good man , dominick . nick : you do n't know what you 're talking about ! they had a great marriage ! massimo : because that 's what she wanted you to believe . nick : you son of a -- massimo : easy , easy . okay ? she did not want to hurt you , dominick . she did n't want you growing up , hating the man that you thought gave you life . nick : hating him ? he was a decent , good , hard - working man . massimo : no , he was not . he was a drunk . a drunk and a coward . nick : take it back . massimo : take it easy . nick : take it back ! massimo : take it easy ! take it easy . come on , i 'm sorry . easy . easy . the truth is -- i never met him in person . i only had one conversation with him , and that was on the telephone -- a conversation that i will regret for the rest of my life . he found out about jacqueline and me . and he asked for money to keep the whole thing quiet . nick : blackmail ? massimo : mm - hmm . i wired him $ 100,000 . nick : you 're good , marone . i got ta hand it to you . next thing you 're gon na tell me , you spent the week in the belly of a whale . massimo : i have copies of the transaction , dominick . and , you know , i 'll show them to you if you want to see them . a transfer of funds from my bank to payne with signatures -- notarized , of course . nick : all could have been very easily manufactured . but for argument 's sake , let 's just say that you did pay my old man off . was your reputation so important to you that you could turn your back and walk away from the woman that supposedly meant everything to you ? massimo : i did n't give a damn about my reputation . nick : then why leave ? massimo : because your father told me that your mother did n't want to have anything to do with me , that she was ready to make her marriage work . you have no idea -- none -- how it killed me to turn my back on her . because i thought that 's what she wanted . nick : thought ? massimo : yes . because she wanted us to be together . she had no intention of staying with payne . after we found each other , she did n't even know that he made that phone call ! i did n't find out any of this , dominick , until tonight . [ massimo sighs ] all these years -- all these years , she thought i left her without so much as a backward glance . she was waiting for me to come back one day -- at least a phone call . and there i was , hundreds of miles away , aching for her -- wishing that i had never agreed to payne 's demand , wishing that i had fought for her . i did n't give a damn about her marriage ! she belonged to me ! me ! i left her with a child -- my child . maybe now -- [ massimo chuckles ] now you understand why you and i are so much alike -- our tempers . our love of adventure . our love of the sea . nick : the only one that ever talked about the sea was my mother . massimo : yes , because she told you about it , hour on end . nick : and you -- she talked about you . massimo : in her own way , dominick , she wanted you to know me , to know your real father . nick : my father ? massimo : yeah . nick : my father . nick : there were no pictures while i was growing up -- of him . i remember mom said it was too hard , it just -- it just brought back too many memories . massimo : and you , of course , thought they were all good ones , right ? nick : i 'd try to get her to talk about him , but -- she never would . so i just -- i finally stopped . and when i was , i 'd say 10 or 11 , i really had no memory of him . but -- you were always so much more real than he was . you know , mom and i used to go down to the harbor on the weekends and -- we just stood there for hours watching tankers and steamers coming and going , hoping to see one of yours . and one day i ship came in with `` marone `` on the side of it . i 'll never -- forget the feeling that i had . it was a feeling of pride . massimo : pride ? nick : i kept a scrapbook . actually , mom kept it . and i used to pore over articles and any mention of you . how you 'd traveled the sea and stop at every port around the world . you were a great man to me . massimo : a life so complete and yet so empty at the same time . nick : well , i guess that 's something else that we have in common . massimo : we 've both been searching for something for a long time now , have n't we ? nick : i just never knew what i was looking for . you really are my father , are n't you ? massimo : yes . yes , my son . and i 'll never , never leave you again . bridget : for what it 's worth , i hope mom does n't keep you waiting for too long . ridge : thanks . that means a lot to me . bridget : i 'm gon na get back to work . ridge : wait , wait , wait , wait . come here . just have a seat for a second . i have n't seen you in so long . tell me what 's been going on . what -- what have you been doing ? bridget : working . studying . you know , the usual . ridge : yeah . well , i 'll let the kids know . they 've been asking about you a lot . bridget : yeah . i 'm sorry i have n't been by to see them . i just -- i think , right now , it 's better for me to just keep my distance . you and mom have enough to get past . i do n't want her getting the wrong idea here . ridge : you are still quite an amazing woman , bridget forrester . bridget : i try . ridge , you know , i swear , i look back on the last few months , i can barely even recognize myself . i mean , i do n't know whether to be embarrassed or ashamed . ridge : hey , hey , hey , hey . how about forgiveness ? bridget : just be happy -- you and the kids and mom . ridge : i 'm working on it . nick : i do n't want to let go . massimo : you 'll never have to again . nick : mom should be here for this , huh ? massimo : she 's gon na pull through . nick : yeah . massimo : listen -- what if i told you that i 'm just as scared as you are ? [ phone rings ] nick : yeah . brooke : nick , it 's brooke . nick : what 's going on there ? brooke : well , i 'm not sure . the doctor 's in with your mom right now . but her eyes did start fluttering like she was trying to open them . brook : nick ? nick : yeah , i 'm here . brooke : i think she 's coming around . nick : really ? brooke : yes . nick : i 'll get there as soon as i can , then . and -- thanks . she 's coming around . she 's gon na make it . massimo : oh , thank god . thank the good lord . we can be a family now . dominick , all our years of searching are over , finally .	nick is told by massimo that he is his son on the boat . nick does n't believe him and walks away . mass follows him and tells him the story of him ( mass ) , nick 's mom & dad , mass ' affair with jackie , etc . he talks bad about his dad like he 's drunk and lazy . this angers nick so he picks him up by his collar telling mass he better apologize . mass says he did not know his father except the one phone call they had long ago where he was told that jackie wanted to work things out with her hubby , who wanted $ . mass wired $ back then to jackie 's hubby . he has transaction statements to prove it . nick believes he could fake those documents . mass continues to tell him the story about all their lives . nick recalls his mom not displaying pics . and not talking about his dad ( her late hubby ) . he would watch ships with her for hours trying to see a marone vessel . she 'd talk about marone allot . nick finally believes him . this touching scene involved a warm embrace as nick & mass connect as father and son .

steffy : do you want , like , a water or a sedative or something ? aly : do n't patronize me . what kind of woman are you ? parading in lingerie in front of a - a man you know is taken . steffy : i do n't have to explain myself to you . we were working . aly : you certainly were . liam : aly , respectfully , this is none of your business . aly : ivy is my best friend . you know what a good person she is . she 's been nothing but kind and loving and trusting with you . how could you possibly think of betraying her ?

[ scene_break ] caroline : this is weird , is n't it , to be in the same room and not be taking shots at each other ? maya : yeah . you 're telling me . caroline : [ sighs ] maya , i am ... i am so sorry for what my uncle did to you . i am -- i 'm so sorry . maya : it was pretty awful . he took my story and my pain and ... it -- it was -- it was a hard time . caroline : i ca n't even imagine what that must have been like for you , but i have to tell you that you [ sniffles ] -- you handled that with such grace and dignity . and you 're -- you 're an example for everyone . maya : i 'm gon na remind you , you said that . caroline : oh , god . you 're gon na have to because it 's me and i -- oh ! maya : [ laughs ] i know , i know . but this is nice .

[ scene_break ] carter : it looks like i walked in on a tense moment , but , um , i called in a favor and fast - tracked the annulment , okay ? i just need you to go over the paperwork . steffy : yeah , go . just get it done . aly : [ chuckles ] of course , you 'd say that . signing those papers is a huge mistake . ivy 's your wife because she 's supposed to be . do n't throw your marriage away on some fickle person who bailed on you when you needed her most . stay with the woman you can count on . the woman you belong with . [ door closes ] steffy : do n't even think about it , aly . i 'm trying to be patient , respect your issues , but i 'm not gon na stand here and let you talk to me like that . aly : issues ? exactly what issue do you think that i have ? maybe the fact that your mother killed my mother ? [ scene_break ] zende : so , you 're a midwesterner . nicole : [ chuckles ] no , not in my heart . i always had dreams of getting out , you know ? i wanted what my sister had -- an exciting life in a big city . my head never even went to fashion . that 's just a bonus . zende : well , if glam and unpredictable are what you 're looking for , forrester creations is definitely the place to be . nicole : [ chuckles ] i ca n't believe that i 'm actually going to be working here . zende : we are . nicole : looking forward to that , too . something tells me this is going to be a fantastic summer . [ scene_break ] wyatt : what ? why are you looking at me like that ? ivy : because just when i think i have you all figured out , wyatt , you go and say something like , `` i kissed steffy . `` wyatt : okay . in all fairness , i initiated it . ivy : do you like her ? wyatt : why does everybody keep saying that ? no , i do n't like her . ivy : well , you kissed her . wyatt : okay , fine . i like her . geez . but i do n't know her , you know ? she 's feisty and fun to be around . but , you know , there is one thing that i - i - i do like . i like how this whole thing rolled out , all of us working here together . gives me a chance to get to know steffy . you know , and i just -- i really want to know her well .

[ sighs ] there 's just one problem -- i have a mother - in - law from hell . [ scene_break ] wyatt : can you blame steffy for wanting to protect herself from you ? quinn : i suppose not . wyatt : okay . quinn : but i just want to be a part of you two instead of being banned from my own son 's house . wyatt : that 's how it 's got to be , mom . steffy needs you to stay away from her , from the company , from her family . just please ... stay away . [ scene_break ] eric : ridge , yeah . i was thinking of going to il giardino for lunch . it would be a good chance for you and me and caroline to catch up , see what 's going on . what do you say ? oh , yeah . all right . no , no . it 's all right . do n't cancel that . no , no . it 's important . that 's all right . it 's just lunch . we 'll do it another time . bye - bye .

katie : what else are you lying about ? what else am i missing ? bill : it ended the moment that ring went back on your finger . brooke : bill did n't know . katie : did n't know ? bill : about the baby . brooke : i only just told him . katie : [ sighs ] i hear these words coming out of your mouth , but ... i does n't seem real . you 're too old to get pregnant . bill : how does that matter now ? brooke : i thought it was menopause . katie : i guess you 're just so virile and fertile -- bill : oh , stop it , katie . that little life that never had a chance is not to blame . it is a separate sadness , so leave it alone . katie : i think it was lucky . it never had to love the two of you . [ scene_break ] rick : is it just me , or are psychiatrists the most insane people in the world ? hope : yep . taylor went crazy , but she was right . rick : yeah , but it 's her jealousy over mom . it 's a sickness . she really needs to have a shrink take a look at her head . hope : you do n't think that mom 's the one who 's sick ? rick : [ sighs ] i know that you have to go . maya : not if you need me . rick : look , you ca n't call in sick . you 're the lead . it 's okay . besides , i do n't know there 's anything else to talk about . so go . go break a leg . that -- that is what you 're supposed to say , right ? maya : since you said you love me , everything you say is exactly right . [ scene_break ] caroline : ca n't you fine her for being late ? rafael : she said she 's on her way . caroline : [ sighs ] okay , well , now you have to be firm , because nobody wants to watch a show about two well - behaved people sharing a toaster and wi - fi . rafael : oh ! right ! your crazy script changes are all for the good of the show . caroline : they 're not boring . rafael : uh . so , uh , what 's so special about this rock ? caroline : rick . rafael : rick , rock , whatever . yeah , you got me all confused . caroline : he 's special ... because he 's it . rafael : and , caroline , old friend , are there any other fish in the sea ? caroline : okay , seriously , and i 'm just saying this , fyi , because you 're new here -- wit does not work in california . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have some scripts to work on . rafael : [ chuckles ] no , you do n't . caroline : i will by the end of the day ! rafael : [ scoffs ] girl , you 're out of control ! [ scoffs ] carter : is maya here ? rafael : oh , soon . [ scene_break ] rick : hope , just keep in mind that there 's a lot that we do n't know about . hope : and what could we possibly find out that would make it okay ? that mom , what , had amnesia and suddenly forgot that katie was her sister ? rick : are you kidding me ? that marriage has been hanging by a thread for several years . hope : and so has katie 's life . and from crisis that are much smaller than this one . you know , i hope you did n't tell pam to hold any of your calls , because the next one will probably be from an emergency room . [ scene_break ] katie : what a fool ! that 's what everyone will say . `` we tried to warn her , but she just kept taking him back . `` bill : whatever people say , they wo n't say for long . they have their own problems , their own lives . they 're not that interested . all that matters now is what we say to each other . katie : you 'll be admired -- bedding both sisters at the same time . bill : that is not true , katie . i repeat -- there was only you as long as you were wearing that ring . brooke : it 's the truth . katie : what would you know about the truth ? you were n't married to a ring . you were married to me . bill : you want to frame this as something that was done to you , but we all played a part , katie , including you . [ scene_break ] carter : well , well , well . guess we dragged you away from the party for rick 's mom , huh ? maya : yeah , it 's okay . the party broke up . way up . [ chuckles ] rafael : maya , great ! did you get the new pages ? maya : yeah . they 're all new . i do n't understand . rafael : oh , well , i 've been talking to distributors , and we need to have a certain web saturation point to succeed , and i 'm hearing them complain that the scripts are , uh , a little dull . maya : should n't they make that decision on what they see , not what they read ? carter : she 's got a point . rafael : well , as it happens , i think i agree with them . we need some ... sizzle . maya : are n't we trashing the characters ? i 'm just asking . carter : she 's got another point . maya : if they barely know each other and they 're throwing off their clothes , will we even care about them ? rafael : no , i mean , they 're behaving . you know , they 're sweet , we adore them , but -- aha ! we can see their thoughts . it 's the conscious versus the subconscious mind . [ scene_break ] katie : i see . this is when the blame game starts -- where it becomes all my fault because i was erratic and i withheld sex and i abandoned my husband and child . brooke : nobody is saying that , katie . katie : that is exactly what he 's saying . look at him . he does n't think he 's done anything wrong ! bill : are we gon na put everything in a right or wrong box , or could we turn the dial to something more grown - up other than keeping score , like maybe taking responsibility ? katie : oh , yeah , yeah . let 's -- let 's be grown - ups . you can start by taking responsibility for lying to me . bill : i never did . katie : oh , my god . do you even know when you 're doing it ? bill : there were lies of omission , phone calls i hid from you because you had turned away from me again and again . there were conflicted feelings . that was the worst of it . katie : do you remember that i asked you to your face if you had slept with her , and you said no ? bill : i told the truth . katie : [ sighs ] brooke : she wants to know , bill , and she has a right to . it did n't happen that night when bill came over drunk and spent the night . bill : it was the next morning , when you stormed in and accused us , said the marriage was over . you took off your ring . you told brooke she could have me . you went as far as to say that brooke would be better for me than you could ever be . do you remember saying that ? i 'm sure you do . katie : so , as soon as i turned my back , you ... because there were feelings ? bill : there were . katie : are you in love with her ? bill : i 'm in love with my wife . katie : how long did it go on ? i 'm asking her . you two have n't had time to coordinate your stories yet , so i 'd like to hear her version . brooke : [ sighs ] it did n't . katie : it did n't what ? brooke : it did n't go on . bill and i found out that you were in the hospital , and that 's all that we could think about . bill : you wanted your ring back . i put it on your finger . you were scared . you realized you were wrong to accuse us . katie : no . not wrong . just early . [ scene_break ] carter : i think i understand . rafael : great . are we ready for a run - through ? maya : what about the courtship ? i 'm just wondering . [ chuckles ] rafael : what about it ? maya : the getting to know each other , like each other ? i thought that was the hook for the audience . rafael : yeah . i mean , we still play the courtship , humor , learning each other 's likes and dislikes , but now we can see beneath the surface -- the hunger . maya : i 'm guessing you 're not talking linguini . rafael : for each other . maya : but why ? she barely knows him . rafael : what do you mean why ? look at him -- that body ! maya : that 's it ? carter : how to hurt a guy . rafael : okay , can you trust he 's gon na bring a little sparkle to the part ? i mean , wait , wait , wait a minute . is there a problem , maya ? uh , are you gon na get all method every time we tape a scene ? maya : no . no . i 'm sorry . you 're right . i am an adult . i just -- it just feels a little bit like a bait and switch . this is not what i thought that i would be doing , and it 's not what i told my boyfriend i 'd be doing . but i am a professional , and it 's a new relationship , so i 'm probably overcomplicating things . look , yes , this is a job . we 're adults . let 's run the scene . [ scene_break ] marcus : everything okay ? rick : yeah , we 're all right . but , you know , you were at the party . marcus : yeah . yeah , i was . what happened was pretty messed up . rick : right . so , what brings you back here ? dayzee : well , actually , we -- we went to your mother 's office , first . hope : is she there ? dayzee : no . but , uh , marcus and i thought that -- marcus : i thought that you might be there . rick : doing what ? marcus : well , you know , clearing the place out . rick : mom 's office ? marcus : yeah . i mean , you said it yourself . what she did was wrong . rick : no . no , i was talking about the arrogance of taylor waiting for her birthday to expose her in front of everyone , completely humiliating her . marcus : okay , if that 's how you think of it . rick : how i think of it ? how else would i think of it ? marcus , we 're family . family takes care of family . and when somebody attacks it , we do everything in our power to defend that honor . i hope we 're clear on that . [ scene_break ] katie : you think you showed restraint . because you could have had him at any time , but you decided to wait . brooke : katie ... katie : are you ashamed of yourself , brooke ? you always seem so ashamed of the things you do . not enough to not do them again , but ... you do n't have to . i mean , bill just explained that you did n't do anything wrong . were n't you listening ? bill : what is the point of this , katie ? katie : what 's the point ? do you want him ? do you want a life with him ? because you 've been alone for almost a year now , and that 's an awful long time for you . do you want him ? brooke : i want you back . i want our childhood back . i want things back that i ca n't have . and i definitely did n't want to hurt you like this . bill : you know , all this talk of shame and disgrace -- i did what i did . i had my reasons . it did n't happen in a vacuum . you ca n't threaten me with the end anymore , katie . you 've done that too many times . i 'm not gon na play that game with you again .

[ blows ] get carried away . come on . ah ! [ scene_break ] katie : so , let me get this straight . the two of you make eyes at each other for months , and you tell me that i 'm not seeing what 's right in front of my face . and then you take the first possible pretext to jump into bed and get pregnant . bill : you want me to -- to beg . i get it . but it 's not going to happen . c - can we eliminate all of the judgment and defending in this conversation and make it about cause and effect ? can we do that ? no . no , we ca n't do that . because that 's not what katie likes to look at . so much so , that you might walk out that door ... again . for -- what -- the fifth or sixth time ? because that 's how you win . and you always win , do n't you , katie ? katie : wow . go clean yourself up . i ca n't look at you like that . do you really think that you can school me on the subject of you ? bill spencer does n't grovel . he does n't beg or apologize . bill spencer demands . well , what exactly are you demanding of me now ? bill : for you to get honest . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : we told you the truth . now it 's your turn . katie : what do you want to know ? i 've told no lies . i 've hid nothing from you . bill : no ? no , you 're sure about that , huh ? how about when you disappeared from my life ? wh - when you sent me off to aspen with brooke hoping that more would come of it ? katie : how dare you use that against me ! i was sick , and you know it . bill : it 's not a weapon , katie . it 's a fact . you go to a lot of trouble to create these scenarios of persecution . i mean , it takes a certain amount of what -- self - induced amnesia ? i mean , you make yourself forget that you abandoned our son so that brooke and i could look after him ? you conveniently overlook the times that you bailed , that you just -- you just washed your hands of me . you discount the consequences of telling me that your sister would be better for me than you could ever be . katie : i did not force you to sleep with my sister . i did not rob you of your own free will . bill : that does n't mean that the words do n't count , katie . i am not proud of the way that i handled it . but i do n't think that what happened is completely incomprehensible . katie : [ sniffles ] bill : i love you . and i believe that we can get through this ... if we do n't compound the mistakes that we 've already made . say you forgive me .	katie lashes out at brooke and bill and wants to know what else she should know . brooke says bill did not know ; he just found out . katie mocks brooke that she is too old to have a baby . bill tells her to cut it . her remark had nothing to do with what happened . this poor little unborn life should not be blamed . katie says no , the baby should be lucky that he / she does n't have to face them . as she berates them more , bill points out there is more than enough blame to go around including katie 's part . he was true to her as long as she had her ring on . she admonishes him that he was not married to a ring , but to her . katie understands , this is where the blame game starts because she was delusional and left her husband and child . bill says she is wrong about one thing . they did not sleep together that night but the next morning and only then because she came storming in and accusing them . she took off her rings and said the marriage was over and brooke could have him . in fact , she said brooke would be better for him than she would . katie asks bill if he is in love with brooke . he replies that he is in love with his wife . katie asks brooke just how long it continued . she knows they have not had time to concoct a story so she wants to hear brooke 's version now . brooke says it did n't continue as that same morning they found out katie was in the hospital and that is all they could think about . bill says katie wanted her rings back to put on her finger . she realized that she was wrong to accuse them . katie says no , not wrong , just early . it did happen later . rick tells maya that things will be in an upheaval today so she might as well go back to her web series and rehearse . maya and carter do n't understand the new sexy changes . she sort of feels like this is a bait and switch and not what she was told it would be or that she told her boyfriend . but she says she is a professional and they are adults and she will try to comply and see how it feels in a scene . caroline is right around the corner to make sure rafael delivers the goods . rafael emphasizes more kissing , long deep passionate ones , like a river that gets carried away . caroline is happier with that . rick lets marcus know that he has no intention of cleaning out his mother 's office because she was humiliated by taylor . family sticks together in each other 's honor and he hopes marcus is clear on that .
oliver : the forresters are extraordinary people . if i could be a part of it ... yeah , i 'd put up with aly . she 's nice enough , pretty enough . if aly likes hanging out with me and i benefit from it , what 's the harm ? rick : it 's your voice , if i 'm not mistaken . oliver : yeah . rick : are you using my niece , oliver ? because it sure sounds like it to me . aly : `` dear one , tonight was ... magnificent . sublime . marvelous . glorious . `` glorious ? `` tonight was ... tonight was delightful . superb . fantastic . swell . lovely . tonight was lovely . `` tonight was ... like being in love . deacon : apparently my daughter 's no marshmallow . quinn : you do n't even know her . deacon : and that little crack you made about me , that really was n't called for . how 'd you like it if i went over and talked to wyatt and asked him if he knew what a freak his mother is ? quinn : he knows me better than anyone . hey . deacon : what the hell is this thing , anyway ? quinn : it 's a jinx to talk about a work in progress . deacon : hope was right , was n't she ? you were lurking around liam 's house trying to make him crazy . hope : can i just get a veggie burger to go , please ? thank you very much .

[ chuckles ] uh , did you sleep on the sofa all night last night ? steffy : what ? no . no , no . i 've been up for hours . i was just taking a nap . why are you here ? thomas : i just came to say thanks , you know , for a great party . steffy : you did n't drive all the way out here just to say that . thomas : i may have left my phone . steffy : a - ha ! the truth comes out . thomas : [ chuckles ] steffy : um ... thomas : so , uh , is liam still asleep , or ... ? steffy : uh , no , he 's out and about . he had things to do . thomas : mm . i 've never seen him so , uh , loose before . steffy : okay , i know you think he 's really uptight , but he 's not . you do n't know him . thomas : yeah , well , hope does , and she seemed pretty rattled . steffy : that 's different . thomas : look , i know that she wanted him to be happy here with you and the girls , but ... not that happy . steffy : oh , thomas , it was one party . did you really leave your phone here ? i would have found it when i was cleaning up . thomas : uh , you know , actually , i took a phone call from dad and then took it in your bedroom . i 'll check . steffy : okay , i 'll try calling it . [ groans ] [ dialing ] [ cellphone rings ] oh ! [ ringing continues ] found it ! did , uh , someone hide it on you ? it was behind the pillow . thomas : uh , well , um ... steffy : what are you smirking about ? thomas : does n't look like anybody slept in your bed last night . tell me the truth . pliam : some things ... some things have changed , yeah . but not the way i feel about you . hope : if you say so . liam : okay , listen ... hope : look , i am all about having a good time , especially after what we 've been through , but you ... last night , you were someone else , cranking up the music after the kids had gone to bed , asking me to dance over and over and over again , no matter how many times i said no ... liam : it was selfish and thoughtless . and i 'm sorry . i did -- i did things last night that i know i would n't have done if ... hope : if ... what ? what things ? liam : if i were thinking clearly , if i were putting you first . that 's why i 'm here . i -- i have to apologize to you about yesterday , um ... because something happened . and it 's something you really should just ... hear from me . you asked me if steffy and i were getting closer , living together and all , and i said no , and that was the truth . but last night ... hope : oh , my god . liam : steffy and i ... hope : you had sex . steffy : did n't mom always teach us to make the bed when we got up ? thomas : yeah , but you never did . you always bribed pheebs into making it for you . steffy : yeah , that was payback for helping her with her homework . thomas : whatever . where 'd you sleep last night ? steffy : when and where i sleep at night is really none of your business . like , we 're not in high school . thomas : [ laughing ] come on ! i 'm your brother ! steffy : yeah , you 're my brother , and you want to hear , like , something salacious , but it 's not gon na happen , so can you just stop ? thomas : come on , i mean , we -- we used to be able to talk about anything . steffy : okay , can i just keep one night of my life , like , to myself for a few hours , so i can just figure out what it means ? like -- thomas : congratulations . steffy : shut up . thomas : [ laughs ] i knew it was gon na happen . look , you guys -- you 're meant for each other . steffy : you ca n't stand him . thomas : yeah , that 's true , but i -- i like him with you . i 'm happy for you . steffy : i 'm sure you 're happier for yourself , though , are n't you ? thomas : well , i ca n't say anything right . so , where is he ? steffy : he went to see hope . he wanted to talk about everything that happened yesterday . and ... i 'm sure what happened between us , too . thomas : yeah , well , um , you know , it 's probably -- it 's probably best that she hears it from him . hope : so last night , you two ... liam : i wanted you to hear it from me . hope : so i was seeing what i thought i saw . things have changed . liam : i -- i 'm not -- i ca n't even explain it . i -- hope : why not ? you told me yesterday that you and steffy were just co- parenting . liam : we were . hope : and that you were sleeping in the guest room . liam : i am . hope : so what then ? what changed ? liam : i -- it ... it just happened . hope : [ laughs ] i do n't even know why i 'm asking any of this . liam : i 'm sorry . hope : for what ? hope : where do i start ? hope : do n't apologize . i 'm the one who ended this marriage , i 'm the one who insisted that you move in with steffy . you -- you fought for us . this is what i said i wanted . so if i get hurt , it 's not your fault . maybe it 's good . probably needed to happen , right ? i need to move on . yeah . you do n't have to worry about me . liam : that does n't mean i 'm gon na stop thinking about you . hope : do n't say things like that . just go and be with your family . be with the mother of your child . and love them with everything you have . be happy . and know that i 'm ... i 'm happy for you . because you 're living the life you deserve . the life i could n't give you . . . .	brooke asks hope about the night before . hope keeps it low - key and ays she did not have a private conversation with liam but he seems to be thriving there living with the girls and steffy . she tells her mother that she slipped and called phoebe beth . but they all handled it okay and liam is different now that he has another home and family . brooke says liam is the same man she married and she can not blame him as she was the one who insisted he go live with steffy . hope says thomas says liam has moved on . brooke retorts only because she gave him no choice . he could be having fun now because he was so sad and trying to leave that behind . thomas talks to his friend who supplied the pills . the friend assumes thomas must have had a great night of sex . he skirts that issue and says he is still working on it . later he gets douglas into a conversation that he has something to give hope and he needs his help . it is an engagement ring and if she accepts the ring it will mean they will marry and be a family . they are a team so douglas needs to help him with that . liam wakes up in a stupor and is n't sure what happened . steffy is right there on the edge of the bed and says he is just feeling the fun he had last night whether he remembers it or not . he had a lot of fun , more than she has seen in a long time . hope probably had not either . liam assumes she is not very happy with him now . steffy said she stayed with him up here last night as he had insisted and it felt good to wake up with him there beside her .

brooke : no . amber : well , you know , i -- i just wondered because he 's been coming around lately . brooke : that 's over . i do n't know what prompted deacon 's sudden interest in his children . but i told him that he ca n't just stop by whenever he wants . deacon : maybe i should 've gotten her something else , you know ? i mean , do little girls even still play with dolls ? macy : hope will love it . deacon : macy , she 's only 1 . maybe this thing 's too old for her , you know ? macy : she 'll grow into it . deacon : i just -- i just want her face to light up when she sees it . i 'm just hoping that brooke lets me stick around that long . macy : you 're not taking this over to the house , are you ? deacon : yeah . macy : look , deacon , why do n't you just give it to her the next time you see her ? deacon : macy , this is my daughter 's first birthday . and what the hell kind of father would i be if i missed it ?

dr. brauer : it appears so . i think you can go home in a couple of days . jackie : thank you . nick : thanks . so -- you 're gon na be all right . jackie : yeah . nick : what a night , huh ? jackie : for both of us . jackie : i 'm sure that you have questions for me . nick : maybe we should wait till you get out of here . jackie : i think we 've waited long enough . nick : so it 's true . jackie : yeah . massimo 's your father . nick : you had an affair with him ? jackie : yes . nick : he told me that my -- the man that i thought was my father was mean and a drunk . jackie : well , you remember the moods , the arguments . nick : and he blackmailed massimo . jackie : well , yes . but i did n't know about that , not until the other night . nick : he told massimo that you never wanted to see him again . jackie : he was very angry with me . nick : and massimo paid him $ 100 grand to shut up about the affair . jackie : yeah , to protect me . nick : i understand that . but how could you -- let me think my father was a good man ? jackie : what else could i do , nicky ? i mean , your father was gone . as far as i knew , massimo did n't want anything to do with me . and you were just -- a little boy who needed a man in his life . nick : but what about after he died ? you steered me to marone . the stories you told me -- the adventures , the sailing . i idolized the man . jackie : well , you -- you needed a role model , and -- nick : and you could n't tell me he was my father ? mother , why ? jackie : because i could n't bear to see you disappointed . nick : i always knew there was something missing . do you know what that feels like ? always looking for that piece of the puzzle ? the one that shows you the picture ? and you knew where it was . you knew massimo was my father , yet -- you let me think i was alone . i just -- i just do n't know how you could do that . rick : you want to call a truce ? ridge : i think it would mean a lot to your mom . especially today . rick : yeah . she 's got enough stress in her life . ridge : look , rick , i know you 're still upset about bridget and me . but i want you to know that it was not what you thought . i would n't be here right now if it was , rick , and neither would your sister . rick : she is n't coming . you did n't know ? ridge : well , we do n't talk much lately . rick : for mom 's sake ? ridge : rick , i want her back . i want to make her happy . and i 'll do whatever i can to make brooke feel secure . rick : what , she does n't already ? ridge : no , but she will . it 's just gon na take some time . like making peace with you . look , rick , i know things may not be the way they were . but i also know we 'll never get there unless we give it a shot . rick : hey , sport . what 's up , buddy ? how 're you doing ? let me get that for you . amber : what 's going on over there ? rick : i 'll tell you later . amber : okay . ridge : hey , logan . brooke : hey , ridge . where are your kids ? ridge : they 'll be along soon . well , thank you . how 's the birthday girl ? brooke : she 's oblivious . ridge : can i hold her ? brooke : sure . ridge : come here , big girl . come here . brooke : good girl . [ laughter ] ridge : hit by a duck . i know i probably should n't say this to a lady , but you are getting so big . brooke : i know . it 's hard to believe that it 's been a year already . ridge : yeah , lots of changes , huh ? brooke : yeah . i 'll be right back , okay ? i need to tell marta that the cake arrived . ridge : we 'll be fine . brooke : okay . ridge : come on , kid . brooke : oh , marta , you can go ahead and bring down the cake with the rest of the food later . marta : yes , ma'am . brooke : thanks . oh , honey , this looks great . you did a marvelous job . rick : thank you . brooke : how long has ridge been here ? rick : for awhile . how are things going for you guys ? brooke : we 're just taking it slow . rick : is that what you want ? brooke : all i want is for this day to go as peacefully and calmly as possible . deacon : there we go . perfect . look , i 'm just gon na drop off the present , i 'm gon na kiss hope happy birthday and i 'm gon na take off . come on , brooke ca n't object to that . macy : look , i know you want to see your daughter . deacon : and i want to see little d , too . macy : brooke wo n't appreciate you just dropping by . deacon : yeah , look , i should n't have to ask permission to see my kids . this is ridiculous . macy : no , you should n't . but -- deacon : look , i 'm gon na be there ten minutes . what 's the problem ? macy : brooke might she it as a problem . if she thinks that you 're antagonizing her -- deacon : macy , i think you 're looking at this completely backwards . macy : i think it 's brooke 's perspective that you need to worry about . deacon : okay . what better way to show that i 'm a good father than to be there for my daughter 's birthday ? come on , it 's not a big deal . trust me , it 's gon na be fine . jackie : nicky -- you have to understand . i was just trying to protect you . massimo had left town , and i did n't want you to feel as rejected as i did . nick : you were n't rejected , mother . and neither was i . do you know what massimo told me ? he would have loved to have known me . he would have loved to have been my father . jackie : and i would have loved that , too . but your father -- nick : no ! your husband ! jackie : my husband , your father -- he manipulated both of us . nick : but he did n't keep secrets from me , mother . you did . my whole life , you chose not to tell me anything . jackie : i could n't . nick : why ? were you ashamed ? jackie : no . i was never ashamed of you . nick : well , then what was it ? was it massimo ? he believed you never wanted to see him again . was that it ? jackie : no . nick : do you not have feelings for the man ? jackie : yes , i have feeling for him ! i loved -- him . nicky , i loved him . oh , god , i loved him . ridge : okay . here 's your own personal umbrella . brooke : oh , look . ridge : what do you think ? brooke : oh , that 's great . ridge : yeah ? brooke : thank you . marta : come here . okay , you 're going to sit here with me , and you 're going to help me to separate , okay ? amber : so , what were you and ridge talking about ? rick : mom . he wanted to tell me that he 's still committed to her . amber : it looks like they 're working things out . rick : looks like it . amber : well , that 's good . rick : i hope so . amber : you 're still not sure ? rick : i 'm feeling better about it . amber : wow . he must 've made some pitch , huh ? rick : mom could do worse . brooke : well , everybody should be arriving soon . ridge : we should probably go get the food . brooke : if we all go up there together , we could bring it down all at once . how about it ? marta , could you watch the kids for a minute ? marta : sure . brooke : thank you . there you go . rubber duckie . okay . amber and rick , can you help please ? we 'll get the food . macy : i tried to warn him , mother . i told him not to go over there . sally : but deacon thinks there wo n't be problem , hmm ? macy : no , he thinks it 's no big deal . his daughter 's having a birthday . he wants to give her a present . sally : sounds reasonable . macy : but i was there , mother , when brooke warned him to stay away . and she was serious . can you believe that ? denying a father access to his children ? what kind of monster would do that ? sally : well , my darling girl , you should know better than anybody that sympathy and understanding for other people has never been brooke 's long suit . macy : i just do n't want deacon to get hurt the way that i did . and i do n't -- i do n't want those children to get hurt either . sally : i know you 're doing your very best for them . and , actually , your involvement in all of this is going to be very good for those children -- and for deacon . i 'm just not absolutely sure it 's going to be good for you . macy : deacon needs my help , mother . and if brooke reacts the way that i think she will , he 's gon na need it more than ever . deacon : hi . i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to barge right in . nobody -- nobody answered the doorbell . i 've got a present for hope . marta : you 're here for the party ? deacon : hey , you , come here . little eric : daddy ! deacon : oh , how 're you doing , pal ? what 's going on ? little eric : we 're gon na have cake . deacon : you 're gon na have cake ? what kind ? chocolate ? you do n't know . you know what ? i bet chocolate is hope 's favorite . what do you say we go over and say hi to her , and then you can help her open up her present , huh ? oh . hey , angel . you remember me ? huh ? oh , come here , baby . hi . look at the birthday girl . hi , baby . hey , hey . brooke : deacon ? deacon : hey . rick : hey , eric , why do n't you come over here , buddy ? deacon : happy birthday , baby . yeah . rick : here . eric , why do n't you go over to the food table with marta and put out the hot dog buns , okay ? amber : yeah , you know , i think i 'm gon na help him . rick : okay . brooke : what are you doing here ? deacon : look , i just stopped by to bring hope a gift for her birthday . i did n't realize you guys were having a party . rick : that 's because you were n't invited , deacon . i 'd like you to leave . jackie : i did n't think that he wanted me , nicky . he never phoned . he never wrote . but i loved him -- still -- with all my heart . honey , i never meant to hurt you . you should have had so much more , you know ? i thought that i was making the right choice . but i should have called massimo . i should have told him about you , that he had a wonderful son . instead , i robbed you of your father . but i promise you -- i promise you that i 'm gon na make it up to you . i swear , i 'm gon na make it up to you . nick : you know , it 's okay . i understand . i love you . and i forgive you .	ridge walks in on rick placing the final touches on hope 's 1st birthday party . ridge 's kids will be there later ridge says . he wants to make a truce with rick & brooke 'cause he wants her back . brooke arrives with hope asking about ridge 's kids . she says deacon will not be there . they talk a bit . she needs to check on the cake . deacon 's at his place talking to macy on the bed about taking hope 's present to her . macy thinks it 's a bad idea to take the present to the house , but he thinks it 's o.k . since he 's her father . he hopes this will make everyone see he wants to be a good dad . amber & rick are at the party talking about his conversation with ridge . ridge , brooke , amber & rick walk away to pick up party food while deacon shows up . he tells little eric to help hope open her present . they go over to hope and he picks her up . all the others walk in and they are stunned . brooke says deacon 's name . deacon kisses hope and tells her ' happy birthday , then puts her down . amber takes little eric away to set out hot dog buns . brooke & rick walk over to deacon and tells him he was not invited . deacon says he did n't realize they were having a party . ( he just wanted to take hope a present . ) rick says since he 's not invited he wants him to leave !

( sighs ) but after everything you said at the ceremony , i do n't question how you feel about me or where i stand in your heart . ridge : it meant a lot to me , walking you down the aisle , putting your hand in liam 's , like a real father . hope : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : well , maybe i should n't have told you if you 're gon na be all negative . taylor : i 'm not , honey . this is a difficult time for you . and you should n't be pretending that everything is okay when it is n't , especially with me . steffy : well , i am not about to wallow in self - pity . taylor : hope and liam come home today , right ? steffy : yeah , i think so , mom . taylor : okay , so i do n't want you to kid yourself . it 's going to be hard when you run into hope at the office and when you see her with liam . in your mind , he 's still your husband . steffy : ex - husband . he is married to hope now . taylor : but you also know that he was about to run away with you . steffy : but he did n't . the truth came out , thankfully . it 's time for me to move on . taylor : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] liam : there 's another shot of the sea . brooke : wow , that is gorgeous . liam : i know . ridge : it 's too bad about your screen breaking , though . liam : yeah , i know . it seems to work okay , but i should still replace it . hope : ( sighs ) liam : oh , hey , you , let me help you . hope : oh , thank you . ( sighs ) brooke : so is that everything then ? hope : ( sighs ) yeah , pretty much . liam : uh , so i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na put this in the car . hope : okay . liam : do you -- - are you ready to go ? i can drop you , uh , on the way to work . brooke : oh , wait , honey , i did -- i did n't want you to leave . i wanted to hear more about the trip . hope : no , okay , i can stay . yeah . i 'll see you at home ? liam : tonight and always . hope : mm . liam : bye . hope : bye . brooke : ( chuckles ) hope : ( sighs ) ( door opens ) ( door closes ) brooke : well ... hope : hmm ? brooke : that 's it . ( laughs ) you 're married . and you 're finally ... ( sighs ) moving out . hope : oh , no , do n't start . i 'm going to start crying , so ... brooke : no , i know . okay , okay , i wo n't . hope : okay . okay . ( laughs ) brooke : ( giggles ) you know who i want to call right now ? ridge : who ? brooke : steffy . ( sighs ) her willingness to accept this so graciously ... ridge : it was n't easy for her . brooke : no , but she did it for hope and for liam , for this family . i really want to thank her hope : right now ? brooke : yeah , right now . you know , all the struggling is behind us , and it 's time for this family to reunite . ( cell phone rings ) steffy : ( sighs ) ( ring ) steffy : brooke . brooke : hi . steffy : uh ... what 's going on ? brooke : i just wanted to let you know that hope and liam are back in town . steffy : okay . uh , do you want me to stay away ? brooke : no , i - i did n't mean that . ( sighs ) look , i - i know it was n't easy for you in italy , but you showed a lot of strength and a lot of class . steffy : um ... brooke : i have to admit ... ( sighs ) i was nervous about you being there , that something might go wrong . and when hope was late to the wedding , i could n't help but think it shows how much you 've changed . you did n't take advantage . you did n't turn a misunderstanding into something it was n't . steffy : no , o - of course not . brooke : i know now that you have liam 's best interests at heart . steffy : yes , always . brooke : and ... ( sighs ) i know that we were close once , but i 'd really like to find our way back to that relationship . steffy : i would like that , too . brooke : you would ? steffy : yeah . yeah . uh , look , um , i have to go , but , um , uh , give hope my best , okay ? brooke : i will . i 'll talk to you soon . [ scene_break ] taylor : what did brooke want ? steffy : she told me how grateful she was ... of the sacrifice i made . ( sighs ) taylor : ( scoffs ) ( chuckles ) if she only knew . steffy : ( chuckles ) oh , she wo n't . taylor : you really think it would be wrong just to open up and talk to somebody about it ? steffy : no ! no . mom , no one can find out what happened between liam and me . no , i will not do that to him . taylor : what about what bill did to liam ? steffy : ( scoffs ) taylor : liam would want to know . steffy : ( chuckles ) not like i could prove it . taylor : oh , bill was behind this whole thing , and we know it . i mean , how else would deacon have even gotten out of prison , and how did he even know that hope was getting married ? bill had to have taken him to italy . and of course , was n't it convenient how all of a sudden hope was distracted from her wedding ? deacon was used to write that note . steffy : no , no , no . well , liam bought it , okay ? he thought that note was from hope . he thought that hope walked away . it 's just so cruel , you know ? ( chuckles ) bill thinks that he 's helping everyone , but he 's manipulating everyone 's feelings , and it 's disgusting . for that brief period of time , liam and i , we were finding our way back to each other . ( sighs ) you know , the kissing and ... and the love for each other ... taylor : tell liam what his father did . steffy : i wo n't . i wo n't do it . that will open up too many questions . no , mom , hope ca n't know how close liam and i came . taylor : ( sighs ) steffy : you promised . mother - daughter confidentiality has to be as strong as doctor - patient . taylor : okay , steffy , you know that i would never betray your confidence , even if ... i believe it is n't the right thing to do . steffy : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] ridge : you 'll be in later ? brooke : after i hear more about the honeymoon . ridge : thank you for calling steffy . i 'm glad you reached out . brooke : we 're all moving on . we 're healing . it feels good . ridge : welcome back , mrs. spencer . hope : thank you . brooke : he loves you very much . he 's the only father you will ever need . hope : ( groans ) uh , yeah , can -- let 's not get into this now . brooke : did deacon come back when ridge and i left ? hope : no . no . brooke : if he tries to contact you ... hope : well , he is not going to . i mean , he left the note saying he would n't . brooke : if he does , slam the door . hope : mom ! brooke : honey , he should n't have even been in italy . hope : ( sighs ) brooke : he was in jail . ridge did some checking and found out that he was released early . hope : ( sighs ) and you know what ? i 'm glad he was , mom . i got to see him on my wedding day . oh , i 'm sorry . you know , i just -- i do n't -- i do n't want to argue about this . i 'm so thankful for ridge , and he is very important to me . but if deacon tries to contact me again , i 'm not just gon na turn my back on him . mom , when i opened that door and i saw him after all those years , i just ... ( sighs ) ( groans ) look , i - i know that you hate him , but he 's my biological father . i always gon na want him in my life . brooke : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : i 'm impressed . steffy : you are ? taylor : you have the power to ruin a relationship between a father and a son , and you could effectively end hope and liam 's marriage , but everybody else 's happiness is more important than your own . steffy : that 's because i love liam . bill accepts hope now . it took until the ceremony , actually seeing them in front of a priest , but he realizes he can not choose a wife for his son . i honestly believe that he 's learned his lesson , and if he did n't , then i would have told liam . taylor : but is it fair to hope ? steffy : w - what do you mean ? hope has liam . she has everything that she wants . taylor : does she ? steffy : ( sighs ) taylor : look , steffy , i am very proud of the way you 're handling this , and i respect that you ... ( sighs ) i respect what you 're trying to do by keeping this quiet . at least it lets me know that i 've done something right to give you some good standards . steffy : ( chuckles ) taylor : but this is a little bit different . liam told you that he loves you . he was about to run away with you and jump on bill 's jet . and if you had left before hope returned , he likely would be married to you right now . steffy : i do n't know about that . taylor : no , you said it was a matter of minutes -- minutes that would have changed everybody 's lives . what if hope knew everything , and even the part that you had to tell liam to go through with getting married ? would she want to even be married to him ? steffy : it does n't matter . they 're married now . okay , refill ? taylor : no . unh - unh . steffy : no . you 're done now . you 're done . taylor : no . no . you 're not -- no . you 're not going to avoid this . we 're not done . steffy : um ... i think we are . taylor : steffy ? steffy : be right back . ( gasps ) liam : oh ! steffy : ( breathing heavily ) liam : whoa ! steffy : dude , what -- liam : whoa . steffy : oh , my god . liam : ( chuckles ) steffy : oh , my god . [ scene_break ] brooke : honey , i 'm sorry . ( sighs ) i never should have brought deacon up . hope : no , it 's okay . i do n't like pretending that he does n't exist . mom , he found me . he came all that way to see me . brooke : i understand that you want him in your life . i do . i -- it 's just , i know how destructive he can be . hope : okay , well , you do n't have to worry , because he left , and , you know , he said he was gon na stay away . brooke : can you just promise me that you 'll tell me if he tries to contact you ? hope : why , so you can order me to stay away from him ? brooke : no . no . i -- you 're an adult , okay ? i would not do that . at least i 'll know when to worry . ( sighs ) hope : okay , i promise . brooke : thank you . hope : you 're welcome . ( sighs ) oh , uh - oh . brooke : uh , what ? hope : oh , liam is not gon na be very happy when he realizes he left this behind . brooke : oh , we were looking at the photos when you were upstairs . hope : yeah . oh , did you , uh , see the photo of the sunset ? brooke : no . hope : oh , my gosh . you have to see it . it is -- is amazing . i have to find this . brooke : ( chuckles ) hope : oh , here we go . here we go . brooke : oh , wait , what 's that ? it looks like a video . hope : oh , i do n't know what that is . ( chuckles ) brooke : oh , my gosh . look at the two of you blinking . hope : i know . wait , wait , wait . i have to find this picture . it is spectacular . brooke : okay . well , do n't go so fast . i want to see everything . hope : okay . ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] steffy : walk much ? liam : what -- what the hell was that , a dance number ? who spins around that quickly ? steffy : uh , if you 'd get your nose out of your phone ... liam : i 'm sorry . i did n't expect to be bumping into you so soon . steffy : yeah , i - i know , right ? i 've been , uh , attracting all sorts of mishaps ... liam : ( chuckles ) steffy : espresso spilling all over me , a broken sandal ... liam : a nosedive into the adriatic . steffy : ( chuckles ) exactly . liam : well , even though my shirt is just ruined , at least i got to see a smile on your face . steffy : yeah , i guess i have n't done that in a while . liam : yeah , my bad . ( chuckles ) steffy : no . oh , no . i did n't , um ... i - i - i do n't want you to feel guilty at all . liam : oh . steffy : anyway , um ... so how was , uh , your honeymoon ? did you enjoy your trip ? liam : yeah , i did . i , um ... yes . italy is beautiful , and -- and it 's really the ideal place to ... ( sighs ) i 'm married . ( chuckles ) steffy : ( chuckles ) liam : i 'm married now ... happily married , even . but the way that we left things before hope walked in , steffy , i want you to know ... steffy : no , you know , do n't -- do n't , liam . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : do n't . the last thing i want is to be haunting your marriage . liam : so you okay ? steffy : ( sighs ) no no , i - i 'm a little ... i 'm a little hurt and a little ... depressed . for that short period of time that we were together , it -- i thought that we were planning our life together . i thought i - i had everything back . liam : and still you told me to go marry the girl . steffy : ( sighs ) liam : ( chuckles ) i 've been thinking a lot about that . you know , i - i mean , i - i pledged my life to you . i told you i loved you , that i was ready to run away with you and forget about hope and the way that she hurt me . and ... and then there she was ... ( sighs ) in her wedding gown . and it was so ... surprising , knowing that she did n't even write that letter , uh , you know ? steffy : it -- it -- it 's done . so why talk about it now ? liam : because i meant what said , and i want you to know that . i do love you . i always will .	the newlyweds stop by brooke and ridge 's before they head to their home . hope ca n't wait to move in officially now that they are married . liam shows them the ipad with the honeymoon pictures . he goes home but hope stays so she can tell ridge and brooke more about their honeymoon . brooke thinks it would be a good idea for her to call steffy and thank her for being as gracious as she was and helping reunite the family . steffy is having coffee with taylor who is moping more than steffy is . steffy says it is time for her to move on . brooke tells her that she knows now that she only has liam 's best interest at heart and she is glad that she did not try to manipulate the outcome . she tells hope that she hopes if deacon ever shows up again , that she will slam the door in his face .
( liam 's flashback ) quinn : let them be happy . go to paris . be with steffy . go work in the spencer offices in new york . leave them alone ! liam : what are you gon na do ? you -- you gon na kill me with a bunch of tiny , little stab wounds ? quinn : [ grunts ] i 'll kill hope , too , before i see her with you . i warned you . live by the sword ... die by the sword . [ scene_break ] brooke : hope . honey , i thought you left . hope : oh , uh , almost . bill : busy morning ? hope : i just like to get out of here a little early . bill : yeah , well , that 's a good idea . get a jump on the day . uh , your mom tells me that hope for the future is the main event while ridge is out of commission . brooke : yes , that 's right . ridge needs to focus on his recovery . hope : yeah , yeah . how 's that going ? brooke : katie 's taking good care of him . hope : it 's still hard for me to think about . it is a miracle that they found him . i mean , ridge could have died . brooke : all because of quinn and the fact that she ca n't face reality . when that woman does n't get what she wants , she goes nuts . [ scene_break ] quinn : [ gasps ] you 're here . wyatt : why are n't these in the catalog ? quinn : i 've been a little preoccupied . wyatt : i ca n't sell things if they 're not in the system , okay ? and without forrester , we need all the sales we can get . quinn : i do n't want you to worry about that , sweetheart . soon enough , hope is going to come to her senses , and she 's gon na take you back . wyatt : why would you say that ? liam said that he saw you at his house . you were n't there , were you ? [ scene_break ] brooke : you going to pick up liam ? bill : no . gave him the day off . he 's got to keep his ankle iced and elevated . brooke : i could be persuaded to play hooky . bill : is that so ? i did n't think that was possible after you brought quinn up . brooke : oh . yeah . well , quinn -- the day that you were with her , ridge and i were getting married . bill : well , it 's a good thing that did n't happen . brooke : mm . yeah . you did n't cheat ... but you did keep it a secret . and quinn used that to her advantage . bill : she tried . it did n't work . brooke : [ sighs ] she could try again . but whether she does or not , it would n't really matter because she is wyatt 's mother , and that means there is no getting her out of our lives . [ scene_break ] wyatt : you told hope that you did n't go over to liam 's house . is that true ? quinn : you 've been talking to hope ? wyatt : mom ! quinn : yes . [ clears throat ] that is , um , what i told her . wyatt : i told you to stay away from them , okay ? quinn : and i would have -- wyatt : but you went there anyway . what did you do to liam ? quinn : nothing . wyatt : he went to the hospital , mom . quinn : yeah , for sprained ankle . you should have seen him hobbling around on his crutches . it was pathetic . wyatt : mm . quinn : you know he blamed me , right ? the spineless wimp trips and falls , and it 's all my fault ? wyatt : was it ? [ scene_break ] liam : aah . [ door opens ] liam : [ sighs ] hey . hope : hi . liam : what are you doing here ? hope : well , i wanted to come check in on you , see how your ankle 's doing . hello . mm . liam : hi . hope : how 's the swelling ? liam : it 's -- it 's down . hope : good , good . are you taking the pain pills that your doctor gave you ? liam : no . i stopped . i , uh -- i want to keep a clear head . hope : you know bill 's not gon na make you come into work . liam : yeah , well , it 's better than being stuck here . hope : well , i do n't have any meetings this morning . i could stay and play nurse . are you okay ? what 's wrong ? liam : uh , quinn came by to see me again last night ... and threatened to kill both of us . [ scene_break ] quinn : you 're starting to sound as paranoid as liam . wyatt : [ sighs ] just -- i just want a straight answer out of you , mom . quinn : okay , fine . you want me to be completely honest ? wyatt : if you can be , yeah . quinn : you know what ? that 's a little harsh . wyatt : mm . quinn : fine . here 's the truth . if i wanted to hurt liam ... he 'd have more than a sprained ankle . wyatt : that is not funny . quinn : look , i just went over there to try and talk some sense into him . that 's all . wyatt : you did what you always do . you overstepped . you interfered . that is why hope chose liam -- because you act this way . no . you 're done . you stay off that property . you stay out of their lives . quinn : all right . wyatt : you wo n't ever go over there again . quinn : no . wyatt : promise me . quinn : it 's done . you know i did this for you , thought , wyatt . you 're the man that hope should be with -- not liam . wyatt . [ sighs ] [ door closes ] quinn : [ exhales deeply ] deacon : wow . i mean , no wonder liam fell all over himself trying to get away from you . your own kid does n't want to be in the same room with you . [ scene_break ] bill : i thought i 'd planned everything perfectly . brooke : you did . bill : well , i did n't exactly plan on ridge showing up . brooke : if you want our marriage to be full of adventure , you have to expect a few surprises at your wedding . ( flashback ) [ middle - eastern music plays ] ( present time ) bill : another few minutes , and we 'd be married . brooke : we 'll get there . bill : well , what are we waiting for ? there 's nothing standing in our way now . let 's finish what we started . [ scene_break ] hope : why ... [ chuckles nervously ] i - i mean , i do n't understand why quinn would do that . liam : 'cause she 's crazy . hope : threatening you is n't gon na get her what she wants . liam : hope , she 's not just threatening me anymore . hope : well , that does n't make sense , either . liam : yeah , 'cause you 're thinking logically , but , trust me , quinn is way beyond that at this point . hope : wyatt says she 's not dangerous . liam : wyatt ? what -- wyatt is n't even speaking to her right now . he has no idea what 's going on in her head . i mean , i know -- i know -- wyatt wants to believe that she would never hurt anyone , but am i willing to take that risk , especially with your life on the line ? i mean , quinn -- quinn is -- who are you calling ? hope : wyatt . i need to see you . wyatt : everything all right ? hope : no . how fast can you get to liam 's ? wyatt : i 'm on my way . hope : okay , he 's -- he 's on his way over . liam : hey , i agree that -- that he should know , but i do n't know if there 's anything he can do about it . hope : he has to do something , liam . this ca n't continue . quinn has to be stopped . liam : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] quinn : do n't make me sorry i let you stay here , deacon . deacon : i 'm just trying to give you some friendly advice . quinn : you know what ? my son and i are going through a very , very difficult time right now , but that is all going to change very soon . deacon : not if you keep going this way . quinn : i am trying to do what is best for my child . deacon : whether he wants it or not . quinn : wyatt has lost his confidence . he does n't think he can compete with liam . deacon : i 'm sorry -- 'cause i - i did n't see you giving him a little pep talk . quinn : he would n't listen . deacon : because he does n't want you involved , quinn . quinn : well , somebody has to fix it , and if he wo n't , i will . deacon : or make it worse . quinn : oh . like you did for hope ? [ sighs ] please . i am sorry , but you are the last person to give me parenting advice . deacon : no , you 're right . i mean , nobody 's , uh , nominating me for father of the year . i think we all get that . and you 're right -- i have made a lot of mistakes with my kids , but you know what ? i 've learned from them , and if you would just get off your high horse , maybe -- just maybe -- you could learn , too . quinn : you know what ? spare me your heartbreaking cautionary tale . you abandoned your children . you sold out your only daughter , and the only person you care about is yourself . i do n't care what happens to me . my son 's happiness , the future he deserves -- that 's all that matters . deacon : then do what he 's asking . butt out of his love life . [ scene_break ] wyatt : right . let me guess . you guys are talking about my mother ? look , i 'm sorry . i just heard . i know she was here last night . hope : she told you that ? wyatt : i had to drag it out of her , but yeah . liam : well , what are you gon na do about it ? wyatt : i told her to stop . liam : that is not gon na be good enough , bro . wyatt : whoa ! you know , i know you 're all banged up and hurting right now , but you need to dial it back , all right ? my mother did n't touch your ankle . liam : my an -- no , she did a lot worse than that . hope : wyatt , do you think that you got through to her ? wyatt : like , did she listen ? liam : like , will she back off ? wyatt : she knows what i want , all right ? liam : i do n't think what you want is even her objective anymore . wyatt : look , i get it . you 're ticked off . she probably came over here and said a bunch of things that you did n't like . liam : no , you do n't understand . your mom 's always been delusional , wyatt , but this was dark . this is n't about getting you and hope back together . this is about getting rid of anyone who makes you unhappy . [ scene_break ] bill : you know it 's gon na happen . it 's just a question of where and when . brooke : tiny , little details . bill : keep it simple . courthouse . tomorrow morning . brooke : no . no . i 'm gon na need some time to plan the wedding . bill : oh , really ? you 're gon na take the reins on this one , are you ? brooke : well , i 'm not sure i 'm gon na be able to top yours . bill : i do n't know about that . there 's a lot of exotic locales in the world . brooke : oh , you know what ? this time , i just want it to be here . i want the entire family to be there . bill : all right , well , ridge only gets an invitation if he can promise to be a good boy . brooke : what about your sons ? are they gon na behave ? bill : what ? will ? that party animal ? you kidding me ? perfect wedding guest . brooke : [ chuckles ] i - i just think it 'd be good , you know , for the family to be there at our wedding , and maybe we 'll all get a glimpse of how it is if we put our differences aside and we move beyond all those negative things and into the future . bill : mm - hmm . brooke : right ? i mean , i think it would be good . it 'd be a new beginning for our family . bill : right . well , it is a pretty tall order . brooke : it might take awhile to get everybody on board , actually , but -- ah , especially hope , right ? bill : you noticed that , did you ? the temperature dropping about 10 degrees when i walked in the room ? brooke : i did . i did . but she was n't there in abu dhabi , and she did n't see how hard you were looking for ridge and how supportive you were being of me . bill : she thinks i betrayed you . brooke : betrayal is a hot button for hope . bill : i did not betray you , brooke . brooke : i know . i know , but that 's exactly what i 'm talking about . this 'll give us a chance to put all that blame and judgment behind us , right ? everybody can just be at the wedding and move past all of that . bill : so , is it a wedding that you 're planning or a group - therapy session ? brooke : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] just give me a little time , okay ? i 'm gon na plan something that nobody is ever going to forget . bill : all right . well , i will keep my tuxedo at the ready , then . brooke : [ chuckles ] [ telephone rings ] bill : [ sighs ] yeah , spencer . hang on . brooke : ridge and katie have gotten past all that , and i think hope will be next . bill : and that 's it , right ? nothing else standing in our way . brooke : that 's right . that 's it . bill : okay . brooke : mm . bill : i love you . brooke : i love you . bill : yeah ? what 's the problem ?

[ door slams ] hope : [ sighs ] liam : [ sighs ] thank you . hope : he means well , he 's -- liam : no , he doesn't . he does n't , and frankly , it 's worrying how much you trust him . hope : [ scoffs ] you do n't get to worry about me anymore . liam : well , tough . i worry . i actually care about what happens to you . do you understand that ? i used to be your husband . i damn well still should be . hope : and we should be a family , but we lost beth . liam : why does that mean that we lose each other ? i never should annulled our marriage . hope : are you really gon na say that to me , after what happened last night ? liam : yeah . it 's not too late . hope : there 's only one thing we can do now . i remember putting on a brave face steffy : think they 'll both be out for the count . ridge : i will get my granddaughter fix some other time . steffy : you know you 're more than welcome to stay . ridge : no , uh ... maybe i have an appointment . maybe i do n't like being the third wheel . steffy : hey , stay as long as you want . i -- i do n't think liam 's gon na be back for a while . ridge : you do n't think ? he has n't texted you or called you ? steffy : no , i do n't expect him to call or text me . he 's with hope , and i 'm sure it 's hard for him to tell her , and he 's gon na want to make sure that she 's all right . ridge : and you 're not concerned about ... steffy : no . no , i -- i mean , in the past , i would have been . but i 'm pretty confident in where this is going . i 'm confident in liam , and ... i 'm actually confident in hope . because we all want the same thing . liam : what are you saying ? hope : i 'm saying , as much as i want a life with you , the thing we have to do now is learn to put these feelings aside , and you need to go back to steffy and be the best father you can be to those girls . liam : [ sighs ] hope , you -- hope : you moved on , liam ! and fast ! so i need to move on , too , because ... [ sighs ] because this is too painful . [ cries ] liam : i do n't want you to be in pain . hope : so then let us go . please let me go . liam : i -- i am trying to do that . but you have to be careful . because you are really vulnerable right now , and thomas will not hesitate to take advantage of that . hope : if anyone is taking advantage , it 's me because i 'm the one that 's monopolizing on all his time with douglas . liam : yeah , because he is manipulating the whole thing ! [ scoffs ] do n't you understand that i want you to be happy even i 'm not the man in your life ? you deserve to be loved ! and , yeah , if -- if the right guy came along , then , sure , i would -- i would support that . i would support you . but not him . not thomas . he is using your feelings against you , he is parading his son in front of you , and you are falling for it ! hope : okay , you 're making him sound like he 's some evil bad guy . liam : because he is an evil bad guy ! hope : liam , come on . liam : do you love him ? hope : what ? what does have to do -- liam : do you ... love him ? hope : no . because he is n't you . because he 'll never be you . because no one will ever be you . but i ca n't have you ! and i ca n't -- i ca n't have beth . but i have douglas . and it feels good to be there for him . it feels necessary . do n't you see , liam , that thomas and douglas , they 're the answer for me . you get to have your family , and i -- [ sighs ] i get to have mine , too . liam : it 's supposed to be us . hope : you do n't think i wish every day for things to be different ? you do n't think i wish and dream that beth were still alive every moment ? because i do . but some dreams are n't meant to come true . we have to go our separate ways in order to make our -- our new lives work . so go . be with steffy . be happy . be loved . and enjoy being a father . liam : i 'm doing what you ask , you know . i 'm trying to be the father that you want me to be . but ... it actually does n't matter where i am in life . it does n't matter what family i 'm with . it does n't matter whether i 'm down the street or across the globe . i will always love you . do you understand that ? always . hope : and i will always love you , too .	hope tells liam that she is fine but he says he is not leaving her like this . she says he slept with steffy last night and is getting on with his life so now she will do the same . thomas sits with steffy and says he is happy for her that things are back the same as they should be with liam . she says whoa , nobody said it was going to be the same just because she spent one night with liam . he is glad as that means he can be with hope without liam being a distraction . ridge drops in and ridge too is happy that it finally happened ; she and liam are really together . liam tells hope that he is not trying to make excuses and he did not think he had that much to drink but he knows he said and did things that he would not have otherwise . hope tells him do not insult her or downplay this . that was him last night and it was as it should be . as difficult as it is they are both where they need to be . he says he misses her and she says she misses him every single day . suddenly thomas bursts in and wants to know if he is interrupting . liam answers a loud yes . thomas keeps at it and infers that liam must have had a bad morning after the night before . liam tells thomas to leave , he is having a private conversation with hope . thomas then turns to hope and asks if that is her wish or just liam 's . she says something did happen last night . liam and steffy were together . thomas feigns surprise and then finally says great , that is as it should be . but what is not great is that it happened and then liam felt the need to rush over and tell hope , just rubbing salt in the wound . he suggests liam just go home and that he spend time with his family . liam tells thomas he and hope need to talk and he is not leaving . thomas finally backs down when hope says they really do need to talk .

[ scene_break ] eric : i do n't trust myself to say -- to say anything about brooke right now . ridge : i know . eric : your mother has taken a kind of grim pleasure in driving home the fact that i , uh , only thought i knew brooke . maybe she 's right . maybe anybody you know , no matter how well , is capable of doing things you do n't expect . ridge : oh , i do n't know . i 'm not exactly what you 'd call full of surprises these days . eric : no ? you 're getting married tomorrow . ridge : true . eric : and when i was married to brooke , you , uh ... no need to get into all that . ridge : you have every right to . eric : i 've always had that . the day will come when you forgive him , ridge ... and you 'll pay a price , a very definite price . but it 's gon na be your turn to pay it . [ scene_break ] hope : i know . you think i 'm in denial , that i 'm not facing reality . katie : i think that you love your mother , and we love her , too . nothing 's gon na change that . but we have to believe her when she says that she accepts what happened . donna : dinner 's ready . is brooke still upstairs ? hope : can i ask you guys something ? donna : yeah . hope : what drugs have you done in your life ? katie : ( chuckles ) um ... hope : okay , okay , okay . i - i know you 're my aunts , and you 're supposed to plead the fifth on that one , but okay , if -- if you 're on lsd or speed , or even if you 've had , you know , too many martinis , does it -- does it completely change you in -- into , like a totally different person ? donna : well , it can definitely lower your inhibitions . hope : okay , fine , fine . it 'll -- you know , it 'll make you do things that you would n't ordinarily do when you 're sober . but , i mean , will it make you do things that you would never , ever , even think twice bout doing in the first place ? well ? brooke : i would say the answer to that is no . hope : then why are you and some of the people closest to you so willing to believe that you were sexual with thomas ? [ scene_break ] stephanie : ( sighs ) dayzee : look , stephanie , i love you , but i ca n't stand here and let you tell him that he 's not man enough because he wants to correct the damage he 's done . stephanie : i 'm sorry that tom found it necessary to drag you into our family business , because it 's really none of your affair . dayzee : okay , well , what you 're doing to him , that is my business . stephanie : oh , is there some committed relationship here that i -- that i 'm unaware of ? dayzee : yes , since i committed myself to helping people who have the guts and the conviction to turn their lives around , which is what i thought you were doing . stephanie : you know , if you do this , you 'll destroy whatever relationship is left with your father . thomas : so what you 're saying is keeping quiet out of fear -- that 's the strong thing to do ? stephanie : you want me to say that we 've done the wrong thing ? fine , what we did was wrong . it changes nothing , tom . two wrongs do n't make a right . ( sighs ) but sometimes there 's no other way . thomas : grandma , what does that have to do with anything ? brooke never took anything from me . stephanie : ( scoffs ) you just stood here a moment ago and said we stole her life . the only stealing that went on is she stole your mother 's marriage . your mother is an intelligent , competent woman . it was a big , hard , knock - down , drag - out fight , but brooke did it . and she stole my husband , and she married your uncle thorne , for cryin ' out loud . thomas : all right , fine . dayzee : look , i 'm sure what you 're feeling is more than justified , but that 's not how thomas feels . stephanie , do not use him to fight your battles . stephanie : my battles ? what the hell do i win here ? for cryin ' out loud , i could be dead in a year . come on . it 's his parents ' happiness . it belongs to them , not to me . an eye for an eye , honey . harsh as it sounds , sometimes it 's the only justice you get in life . ( door opens ) ( door closes ) [ scene_break ] eric : something happens when your own son betrays you . before that , he 's your pride and joy . he 's just a younger , better version of yourself . and you take great glee in every accomplishment -- every accomplishment he makes , as if it was one of yours , and it is on yours , because he is part of you . ridge : and afterward ? eric : afterward , you watch your back ... because he 's just another man who wants what you have . you think he 's you when you were young , but he 's not . he 's not you . he 's the end of you . ridge : ( sighs ) i 'm sorry . eric : i remember . i was a son . there comes a point when the very definition of a father is `` the thing that 's in the way . `` well , my day is done . i have nothing you could possibly want anymore . ridge : just one . be my best man tomorrow . eric : does it matter that i feel very strongly you should n't be doing this at all , and that the chance -- the risk of hurting taylor is unacceptably high ? ridge : i ca n't ask thomas . he is standing up for me , but he ca n't be my best man . eric : all right . i 'll be your last resort . what 's a father for ? [ scene_break ] brooke : i do n't want to argue with anybody . donna : we 're not arguing . just come here and sit down and eat , okay -- you know , we do n't even have to talk . brooke : i just think hope needs to understand . most of my adult life , people have been telling me things , stephanie in particular , that i have no morals , no conscience , no impulse control , and things much worse . i always felt like it was a persecution , and i had to stand up for myself . but there comes a time when you have to look at all of the evidence -- what i did to bridget , what i did to you , now to thomas . ( sighs ) i do n't think those berries changed me into a different person . i think they made me look at the person that i really am . and now it 's just ... too late to change it . i really appreciate what you 're trying to do ...

[ scene_break ] ridge : we told people to come at 10 : 00 , but you know we wo n't start on time . eric : i suppose i have to give a speech . ridge : just a little one . eric : i will tell about how you and i spent our whole lives competing for a woman 's attention -- your mother 's and brooke 's -- and how i was always runner- up ? ridge : no , not that speech . uh ... tell about us building a tree house . eric : we did n't do that . ridge : or how you taught me to drive , and i steered us off into a ditch . eric : your mother taught you to drive . ridge : then just say how proud of me you are , and look at thomas when you do . eric : i 'll think of something . ridge : how about we never talk of this ever again ? eric : took the words right out of my mouth .

( claps ) taylor : who taught me to believe in myself . that was the first important thing she taught me . but secondly , she taught me that life is always good no matter how bad it is , and that if you just trust and believe and persevere , everything can turn around . stephanie : ( chuckles ) well , tomorrow will be the fulfillment of all those dreams that you have so patiently waited for . tomorrow at my house , surrounded by all of the people that love you ... ( sighs ) you 're going to truly understand why it was so important for you to hope against hope for so long , right ? because tomorrow , things will be again as they should have always been . and you 'll have your happily ever after . to see the joy in you , in your eyes , to know how happy you are ... ( sighs ) honey , that makes me happy , because you deserve another chance with ridge . and remember the last time that , um , you and ridge , tried to get married ? taylor : mm - hmm . stephanie : somebody interrupted that ceremony , right ? taylor : oh . steffy : oh , god , how could i forget ? stephanie : brooke came galloping in on a horse . well , she is not going to do that tomorrow . believe me . tomorrow , you and ridge are going to be married for sure . taylor : ( chuckles )	stephanie asks thomas if he 's really going to do this to his mother on the day before she is going to get married . he says yes , with or without stephanie , he is walking out that door and telling his mother the truth . stephanie chastises him that she thought he was man enough to handle this . the girls ' are playing games at the shower . ridge drops by to see his dad , and eric has to ask again why ridge is rushing into this marriage . ridge confesses that he is hurrying because he might be afraid of what he will do . he might forgive brooke . brooke tells hope that she just does n't feel like seeing anyone , so donna and katie bring in groceries . brooke cries that she drove ridge away and he 's getting married tomorrow . she does n't want any company or to face people . hope questions donna and katie of why brooke is so willing to believe that she ate the berries and then did things she would never otherwise do . dayzee speaks out sternly to stephanie that yes this is her business if it concerns thomas . stephanie makes light of it since she is not aware they are in a committed relationship . two wrongs do n't make a right . dayzee points out that stephanie is using thomas to fight her battles against brooke . stephanie comments that as harsh as it sounds , an eye for a eye , sometimes that is all you get in life .

[ scene_break ] ridge : why is it so hard for you to let go of the idea of steffy and liam ? taylor : maybe what it is ... was a mistake . ridge : according to the experts , there 's a 50/50 chance it was . but that 's for liam and hope to discover on their own . meanwhile , steffy has said repeatedly and emphatically that she wants to move on . and as her parents , we need to support that , doc . we need to encourage steffy to go on new directions and let those kids live the lives they 've chosen . taylor : what if those lives were chosen for them ?

'cause i got a ton of questions for you . scotch , was it ? deacon : yeah , no . i ca n't , wyatt . listen , something 's going on with your mom . i 'm worried about her . brooke : you know what ? we should call hope and liam and see what they 're doing for the fireworks . oh , hope ! i was just about to call you . hope : it 's amazing . you can see the fireworks right outside . bill : where 's liam ? hope : he is at home tucked in bed . it 's been a rough day . sprained ankle and all . it takes a toll . what 's going on here ? brooke : uh , your father stopped by . hope : oh , yeah ? to see me ? brooke : no . to get my support . hope : for what ? brooke : his relationship with you . bill : and who knows what else . hope : [ sighs ] look , i - i know that you guys both have your issues with him . bill : you should , too , hope . brooke : at least a healthy skepticism . hope : look , he asked for my forgiveness , and i decided to give it to him . just like liam forgave you for your part with everything that happened in italy . he 's my dad . and i 'd really like to believe him when he says that he loves me and he wants to be a part of my life , so i 'm -- i 'm giving him that chance . it 'd mean a lot if you could try , too . brooke : [ sighs ] hope : i 'm gon na go to bed , okay ? i 'll see you in the morning . brooke : good night , sweetie . hope : good night . good night , bill . bill : good night . [ fireworks exploding ] brooke : i do n't like it . but i have to trust my daughter . bill : she 's a lot like her mom . stubborn , beautiful . brooke : [ chuckles ] bill : very , very strong . brooke : happy independence day , bill . wyatt : you 're worried about my mother ? deacon : yeah , and i got a feeling you are , too . wyatt : where is she ? deacon : i do n't know , but she , uh , she did n't go alone . wyatt : well , who was she with ? deacon : no , no , no , no . it 's not a who . it 's a what . she 's been -- she 's been working on this thing , and she took it with her . wyatt : what is it ? deacon : it 's exactly like this . wyatt : what ? deacon : this sword around your neck ! she made something just like that , but it was n't a piece of jewelry ! it 's the real deal ! it 's sharp as hell ! deadly ! wyatt : and she took it with her ? ! deacon : she said something about having to keep a promise to someone . wyatt : no , no , no . no , i got to go . deacon : wyatt ! liam : get out ! get out ! quinn : oh , i 'll be leaving shortly . liam : i 'm sick of this ! what do you want , quinn ? ! quinn : have n't i asked you over and over ? i want you gone ! but you have n't listened ! liam : [ sighs ] quinn : and now you 've gone and told hope and wyatt . liam : what ? about your threats ? are you kidding me ? you 're damn right i did ! and i 'm gon na tell the police next ! what do you think of that ? quinn : no , i do n't think so . it 's dependence day , liam . and after tonight , hope and wyatt will be free of you at last . liam : you are insane . quinn : you drove me to it . your control over hope and her family . you 're a coward ! liam : [ scoffs ] quinn : you -- you ca n't compete with wyatt , so you lie and you lie . well , not anymore . does your ankle hurt ? liam : oh ! oh ! quinn : do n't you worry . it 'll all be over soon . liam : [ gasping ] quinn : oh , do you see this , liam ? yeah . this -- this is the spencer sword . liam : wait . quinn : the one that you are not man or worthy enough to wear . liam : wait , wait , wait ! quinn : i warned you , and you did n't listen , so now you get to pay the price . live by the sword ... die by the sword .	wyatt tells liam that his mother would never hurt hope ; she adores her . liam says that is only when she is with wyatt . with him it is a different story . wyatt says his mother was angry . liam brings out the worst in her . hope begs wyatt to do something . he has to get her some help . liam says only wyatt knows what she might be capable of . wyatt ca n't believe they are serious but they say he has to confront his mom to find out for sure where her head is . wyatt keeps saying she may be acting crazy but she is not a killer . he 'll be the judge of that . he will talk to her and she will listen to him . and if it comes to it that he will call the police on her himself . he still thinks they are making way too big a deal with this so he wants to handle it . meantime dial it back a little and stay away from her and do n't flaunt their relationship . he says he is sorry . he never meant to put them in this position . hope says they know it is not his fault . as he is leaving , wyatt says he told her over and over to leave them alone but he will lay down the law and take her to task and she will listen . she will not be a danger to them . brooke tells deacon that he needs to go . deacon says he knows brooke does not trust him , but cut him some slack . he needs to be with his daughter and he owes her that much . brooks asks him not to do this to her again . he says this is n't all about brooke . he gets that she is with spencer now . bill starts down the stairs and sees deacon and asks what is he doing here . deacon smarts is that any way to treat an old war buddy . bill asks brooke if deacon broke in . deacon says he is not here to start anything . he is here about his daughter who is involved with bill 's son . bill tells him to stay out of it . bill gruffly says he is not here for his daughter . he 's working some angle so what is it , money ? deacon says again he is there to support his daughter unless bill has a problem with that . bill says he has a problem with deacon being around anybody that he cares about . brooke says their daughter is happy and secure now and she does not need deacon in her life so stay away from her and from brooke too . bill says deacon heard her so beat it , convict . brooke tells bill that she has seen a little change in deacon , nothing major as he is still a con artist . bill says the change is part of the con . she reminds him that he had a big part in the italy scene too . he says he has regretted that and said it over and over . he regrets getting involved with sharpe . brooke better listen to him as deacon is a cancer and needs to be cut out of their lives for hope 's sake . brooke tells bill that deacon is not in her life , but if her daughter wants a relationship with her father , then she has to trust her .
brooke : we ca n't keep doing this . it 's gone on long enough . it has to stop . [ scene_break ] steffy : okay . katie : looking good . steffy : yeah . oh , could you put more ice in the cooler ? katie : yeah , absolutely . and what about the grill ? steffy : oh , wyatt and liam , they can take care of that later . katie : this is nice . steffy : yeah , it is . katie : getting everyone together for the celebration . i was actually thinking about inviting my sister . are you cool with that ? steffy : yeah , no problem . katie : i - i know you wanted to keep it just family . steffy : no , you -- you can invite whoever you want . as long as her name is n't quinn . [ scene_break ] eric : you just took a chance i 'd be here ? quinn : glad i did ? eric : i am . my family would n't be , though . steffy would be furious if she saw you with me . quinn : but it is independence day . everybody 's at a barbecue , or getting ready to watch the fireworks . your car looked so lonely in the driveway . i was just wondering if you were lonely , too . [ scene_break ] alison : liam , you 're still here ? i 'll tell you when your father 's free . he 's busy . he does n't want to be disturbed . but if you want to speak to him , i can give him a message . liam : i would n't even know what to say . [ scene_break ] bill : no . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : no . i am not letting you go . brooke : you have to . bill : i 've tried . we 've tried . we love each other , brooke . brooke : i should n't have come here . i know better . bill : do n't go . brooke : you belong with katie and will . this is -- this is it , bill . this is the last time this is happening . [ scene_break ] katie : so , it sounds like you need a day off just as much as i do . steffy : yeah . katie : but aside from quinn , things with you and wyatt are -- are good ? i mean , i know it was complicated when liam came back , but ... steffy : yeah . katie : everything 's fine with your marriage ? steffy : i know it 's a cliché , you know , a new wife complaining about her husband 's mom , but quinn is evil . and i know this is difficult for wyatt , but i just do n't want her anywhere near me or my family . [ scene_break ] eric : you do n't have plans for today ? quinn : i would n't say that . you need to be persuaded ? eric : i need to know we understand each other . i like this . i enjoy your company . quinn : i enjoy yours . eric : but that 's as far as this goes . given the history you have with my family , the way they feel about you ... this ca n't go any further . [ scene_break ] katie : you are n't worried that quinn will show up today , are you ? steffy : uh , she better not . i made it very clear . katie : does bill know about this ? steffy : wyatt just needs to be firm , and just make her understand that she 's not welcome here . i mean , quinn thinks that she can make it up to me . katie : but you ca n't forgive her for what she did . steffy : and wyatt knows that . katie : well , as long as she respects your feelings and stays away , your marriage will be fine . steffy : yeah . [ clattering ] wyatt : hey , katie . katie : hi . wyatt : the waves out there are awesome if you want to get into some sets together . steffy : umm ... no , maybe later . wyatt : no ? katie ? katie : uh , no thanks . tempting , but no . i 'm gon na run home for a minute . i will be back later . steffy : all right . thanks so much . katie : all right . bye . wyatt : bye . [ clears throat ] uh , do you need me to do anything ? steffy : uh , not now , but maybe later . i 'm gon na need you on the grill . wyatt : okay . what about the fireworks ? we 're still doing those , right ? steffy : oh , there will be fireworks , especially if your mom shows up . [ scene_break ] quinn : that 's a thoughtful look . eric : hm . quinn : are you still worried we do n't understand each other ? because i think we just proved that we do . eric : [ chuckles ] i think we did . nah , i was just wondering what it is about me that , uh ... quinn : you need a list ? eric : no . no , no . all my life , i 've been , uh , flirting with disaster and , uh , dangerous women . well , my brother 's the one who travels the world and gets into all kinds of scrapes and danger . but i can get in a lot of trouble right here at home . quinn : oh , i feel like trouble follows me wherever i go . eric : i should really stop finding that so attractive . quinn : [ giggles ] well , we all have our foibles , eric . eric : yeah , and i thought i just had a type . quinn : i would be honored to know that i was your type . eric : oh , you are . quinn : [ chuckles ] eric : i appreciate you . quinn : i would n't be here if you did n't . [ scene_break ] brooke : i was surprised to get your call . thought you and bill might have plans for the holiday . katie : yeah , we do . um ... i asked you here , because i - i want you to join us . [ scene_break ] bill : one final kiss . [ door slams ] liam : um , i 'm sorry . am i disturbing you ? bill : what is it , liam ? liam : just wanted a word with the great and powerful oz . [ scoffs ] look at you . standing there at the helm of your empire . head of the family , dispensing advice , handing down your edicts . and we all just -- we all just bow down to you . we do n't question , we do n't argue , because we respect your judgment . but i know a secret , dad . you 're not the leader you pretend to be . you 're not the man we all think you are , are you ? you hypocrite . [ scene_break ] steffy : wyatt , if your mother crashes this party -- wyatt : do n't worry . i 'll turn her away . steffy : what is she up to ? wyatt : [ sighs ] steffy : like , do you -- do you know even where she works , or if she 's still with deacon ? wyatt : who cares as long as she 's not bothering us ? that 's what you wanted , right ? for her to keep her distance . and she is . steffy : have you ever known your mom to give up ? wyatt : maybe this has all taught her a lesson . she 's moving on . steffy : to where ? with whom ? well , i hope you 're right . i hope she is . i 'm glad she 's respecting our wishes . but she better stay away from me and my family . [ scene_break ] quinn : show 's not quite over . you could call for an encore . eric : do n't think i 'm not tempted . quinn : but you have your family to think about . eric : yes . i 'm hoping to see them today . quinn : you never know when you 're gon na have an uninvited guest or last - minute invitation . eric : is that what you 're hoping for ? quinn : from you ? [ laughs ] yeah , that -- that would really be living dangerously . me , at a forrester barbecue . no , i know that 's not an option . eric : [ chuckles ] no . no , i would n't do that to steffy . i ca n't keep doing this . quinn : why are we stopping if we 're not hurting anyone ? eric : you are ... fantastic . you 're fascinating , intelligent , you 're beautiful . but this is not gon na go anywhere . quinn : you need to keep telling yourself that . and you need to believe it . because i do n't want you getting attached to me . [ scene_break ] brooke : join you and bill ? where ? katie : well , wyatt and steffy are having a party at their place , and ... it 's just family , but ... i 'd like it if you could come . [ scene_break ] bill : i do n't know what this is about . if you want to talk , we can talk . but you better cool your jets . liam : here 's what it 's about . i believed in you . your loyalty to your family and your commitment to katie . and i listened to your -- your big long speech about family comes first and marriage vows are sacred . do you remember that ? because it was the same day that i found your `` napping room . `` that 's what you called it . a napping room . you said the earring i found belonged to katie , so do n't worry about it . bill : you lost me . you and wyatt have another argument about steffy ? is that what this is -- liam : steffy ? oh , yeah , you sure told me to stay away from her , did n't you ? bill : and you agreed , and i do n't want to have to keep going over it with you . liam : say it again . say it again . i want to hear the lecture one more time . i want to watch what your eyes do . bill : all right , that 's enough , liam ! i 'm not putting up with the attitude . i do n't like it . liam : you know something ? it 's bad enough for you to be unfaithful . especially after you go on and on about the sanctity of marriage . but your wife 's sister , dad . you and brooke ? bill : i 'm not discussing this subject with you . liam : what the hell were you thinking , dad ? ! bill : i said i 'm not discussing it with you ! liam : katie loves you , and you do this ? you do this to her ? bill : do n't talk about things you do n't understand , liam . and my private life is none of your concern ! brooke and i have an arrangement , okay ? we have an adult arrangement . liam : i am an adult . it 's called an affair . bill : it 's none of your business . liam : it 's none of my business ? i 'm concerned about katie . are n't you ? bill : yes , i am concerned about katie . liam : good ! good . because she 's been going through hell lately , and now i finally know why . and , by the way , she 's not the only one . you 've been telling me to stay away from steffy , to deny my feelings , and i tried . i tried to follow your example . but why the hell should i do that ? nothing you say matters anymore . it 's a lie ! you 're a liar ! [ scene_break ] wyatt : look , you do n't have to worry about mom , okay ? she probably does n't even know that we 're throwing a party . i - i was careful not to mention it to her . steffy : you saw her ? when ? wyatt : earlier today . at her apartment . steffy : [ sighs ] wyatt ... wyatt : what ? i just -- i wanted to make sure she was okay . and -- and -- and i wanted to see her . and -- and she seems like she 's better . steffy : she fooled us before . i 'm not gon na tell you you ca n't see her . she 's your mom . i just do n't want her thinking that she can show up here . she ca n't . the home and the family are off limits . wyatt : she knows that . she 's just hoping that someday that will change . but for now , she 's -- she 's -- she seems like she 's trying to make a fresh start . [ scene_break ] quinn : you ca n't change the past . what happened . all the mistakes i made . [ sighs ] all i can do is move forward and try to make a new life for myself . [ scene_break ] katie : i still struggle sometimes . i can admit that . brooke : we all do . katie : it 's just that my life 's been kind of out of control , and ... it devastated me when i heard you tell bill that you still loved him . brooke : it was never my intention to hurt you . katie : i know . i do know that . and it -- it was wrong of me to accuse you of anything . brooke : do n't apologize . i 'm the one who 's sorry . katie : i do n't want any of that , okay ? i just -- i do n't want to rehash the past . that 's not why i asked you to come over here . i 'm trying to move on . and i 'm trying to make peace with what you and bill shared . i know it meant a lot to you , and it 's not fair of me to ask you to forget about it . brooke : i would if i could . [ scoffs ] katie : i know you would never have done it . and i 'm just gon na keep telling myself that . 'cause i love you . i need you in my life . [ scene_break ] liam : i saw you , dad . you and brooke , just now . bill : what did you see , liam ? i mean , what -- what did you see ? liam : enough to know it 's been going on for a while . you know something , you know the most insidious thing about it is you 've been lying to katie this whole time . making her think she 's the problem , making her think her fears are irrational . she 's been consumed by doubt and paranoia , and you convinced her it 's all in her head . bill : she 's afraid i 'm gon na leave her , liam . i 'm not gon na leave , okay ? it 's not happening . i am committed to my marriage . liam : who -- who -- who are you lying to right now ? me or yourself ? she 's not afraid you 're gon na leave her . she 's afraid you 're gon na betray her . and that 's exactly what you did . bill : my involvement with brooke , which did n't go as far as you think it did , is over . liam : katie 's seeing a psychiatrist . you -- you -- you know that . she 's on meds . you know that . she had a heart transplant . bill : yes , liam , i know it . i know all of it better than anyone . and that 's why you 're not gon na say anything to her . liam : are you kidding ? are you kidding me ? she 's a survivor , dad . she gave birth to your son , and she can sure as hell handle the truth . bill : i am not going to say anything , and neither are you . liam : oh , no , no , no . no , you do n't get to tell me what to do anymore . you do n't get to cheat on your wife and then lecture me about integrity and loyalty . bill : so that 's what this is really about . it 's not your concern for katie . it 's about steffy . liam : yeah . yeah , that sure is part of it . the only reason i stayed away from her is because of what you said . because spencer men respect marriage . well , let me ask you a question . why the hell should i back off of steffy just cause she 's got a tattoo around her finger when you got your own ring , too , dad ? you want me to do the right thing ? you first ! why do n't you show me how strong spencer men should be ? tell your wife the truth . yeah , that 's -- that 's what i thought . i do n't have to listen to any of this . not your stupid rules . not my brother 's sham marriage to the woman i love . you see this ? you do n't live up to this . bill : what are you doing , liam ? liam : i 'm gon na get the girl . [ scene_break ] [ steffy remembers ] liam : this is a reminder of how far i 'll go , how far i 'll always go to get back to you . take this . remember this conversation . remember how much i believe we 'll be together again .	liam sees brooke and bill kissing .though brooke says they can not do this . liam closes the door not knowing what to think . he remembers back to finding the earring on the bed . bill says he will not let brooke go . he tried and it did not work . she says he has to think of will . they will not do this again . steffy tells katie that she can invite anybody to her party unless her name is quinn . she does not want anything to do with her . she made that clear so she will not show up here today . wyatt comes home all dressed for the beach .katie goes home and says she will return . steffy says there will be fireworks especially if his mom shows up . eric tells quinn that the family would be furious if they knew she was here . quinn says she misses all of this celebration for the 4th , the cars in the driveway and all the rest . but she will just be with him today . he says he likes this and he enjoys her company but that is as far as it goes . this can not go any further because of the way his family feels toward her . she says maybe he needs more persuading and kisses him more . they end up in bed . he says all his life he has been skirting with danger . his brother john also but he will get in more trouble right here . back in bill 's office , liam stands in front of bill and says there he is oz . everybody bows down to him , no question . but he is not the man they all think he is . he is a hypocrite .
sheila : i 'd give anything to not be here , to have to tell you this , but i care about you , eric , and the thought of ridge and quinn deceiving such a good , trusting man ... look , i am so sorry , but your son and your wife are having an affair . quinn : i ca n't keep living like this . we 've been lying to your father for months . it 's got to stop . ridge : you 're gon na have to think very clearly about the consequences . quinn : i understand the consequences ! i could lose my husband , you could lose your father ! ridge : and for what ? because sheila carter may know something ? quinn : what if she does ? i ca n't have eric hear it from her first . he needs to hear it from me , from us ! and i do n't even know if we can get him to understand , but he 's not going to understand if he hears it from sheila first ! come on , ridge . we owe your father the truth . [ birds cawing ] thomas : we did it . we got the challenge in monte carlo . it 's amazing . this is -- ahh , this is great ! sally : yes ! spectra fashions in one corner , and in the other ... thomas : what 's with all the independence day decorations ? somebody got really festive . sally : yeah , it 's grams . it 's her favorite holiday . thomas : huh . sally : she always throws a big bash , complete with fireworks . thomas : oh ? sally : mm - hmm . mm ! `` sally girl , i gave all the employees the day off . party 's at my place . you and tommy boy get over here pronto ! we 've got lots to celebrate . `` thomas : mm . sally : grams . thomas : we do have a lot to celebrate . r.j. : [ chuckles ] i 'm serious . you should have been in the calendar shoot . coco : um , no . no ! r.j. : yes ! come on , the camera loves you . [ cell phone chimes ] coco : oh ! it 's grams . uh , oh , she 's just checking to make sure that we 're still going to the cookout . r.j. : [ laughs ] wait . you were serious ? and she actually dresses up like the statue of liberty ? coco : every year since i can remember . yeah . it 's -- it 's insane . r.j. : yeah ... [ laughs ] hey , you okay ? coco : yeah . yeah , i 'm just -- i 'm still thinking about earlier . i ca n't get over what thomas and sally pulled . especially my sister . r.j. : i 'm pretty sure it was thomas ' idea , not sally 's . coco : yeah , but she did n't have to go along with it . i do n't think she realizes how lucky she is . like , your family could have put her in jail . but spectra is alive and well because of thomas . like , he really forgave her for what she did . r.j. : you have , too , right ? i mean , after that spy - camera thing ? coco : yeah . yeah . but i would have hoped that she learned from that experience . r.j. : you do n't think she has ? coco : well , she did n't have to be a part of what thomas did . but she was , and call me naive , but i guess i just would have expected more from my sister . sally : well , that was some kiss . thomas : well , it 's some day . i mean , it 's the birthday of our country and a really big win for spectra . sally : yes , you did get the best of the princess . thomas : that was not my goal . i was just challenging her , but that was a fringe benefit . absolutely . i have to say , though , i 'm really impressed with the way that steffy handled herself . you know , once the cameras were rolling and she was live with jarrett , it was great . she was a little annoyed once everything stopped , but , uh ... i think the ice is thawing between us , and she 's beginning to accept my choice . my choice being you . ridge : the truth ? well , the truth is we kissed a few times . quinn : and sheila could make eric believe otherwise . ridge : sheila does n't know anything ! quinn : what if she knows more than what we think she does ? she could go to eric and she could -- ridge : did she say she was gon na do that ? quinn : the point is , she thinks she 's doing what 's best for him . she obviously still cares about him . she probably even wants him back ! ridge : well , he wants nothing to do with her because she is delusional . quinn : maybe she is . step one in her delusion -- get rid of the current wife . [ sighs ] ridge ... how -- how could we have put ourselves in this position ? sheila : i can only imagine how much this hurts , eric , to believe that a woman that you thought was loyal , is n't , and that your son could do this you again ! my heart is breaking for you . you have always been such a special man to me . eric : so special that you could n't wait to come in here and tell me this . sheila : i knew it would be upsetting -- eric : you come into my house like this ? ! you come into my house and you say these things about my son and my wife ? ! how dare you , sheila ! how dare you . sally : i could be mad at you . thomas : oh , darling , how could you ever be mad at a face like this ? sally : well , i promised that i was gon na turn over a new leaf , but crashing that calendar shoot was very vintage spectra . thomas : okay , that was -- that was me that did that . she 's my sister . i 'm allowed to do things like that . you were just my trusty sidekick . sally : uh , yeah , but i 'm not sure princess steffy saw it that way . thomas : does n't matter which was she saw it . she accepted the challenge . sally : reluctantly . thomas : but she 's a good sport about it . this is exactly what spectra needs right now . this is exactly the pr that we need right now . sally : yes , but now , we need to create a swimwear line for monte carlo . thomas : we will . we will absolutely do that . and when we are there at the summit , we are going to be sitting next to all the international movers and shakers . do you know what that means for us ? sally : yes , that i should not embarrass us or spectra . thomas : babe . you are not going to embarrass anyone . you are going to wow them . and so will that . sally : wait , are we gon na unveil our new logo in monte carlo ? thomas : well , yeah , i mean , it 's work in progress . that 's why nobody else outside of spectra has seen it yet , but it gives us a chance to debut the new brand and where we 're going with our designs and everything that we 're doing . sally : you know , i will say this again . none of this would be possible without you . i am just concerned about one thing . thomas : yeah ? sally : the way coco was looking at me . i could tell that she was not happy with me pulling another fast one on your family . r.j. : steffy accepted the challenge , right ? coco : yeah . r.j. : and it was all in good fun , so what 's the harm ? coco : meaning i should n't worry about sally , and everything will be all right ... r.j. : feel better ? you good ? good . 'cause we got a barbecue to get to . but first , i want you to do me a favor . ridge : we got caught up in something . i 'm not sure what it was , but what matters now ... quinn : what matters is eric ! eric is all that matters . all i think about is what my life would be like without him , without him seeing something in me that no one else did . something that i could n't even see in myself . i was a pariah . my own son lost faith in me . not eric . eric believes in redemption . he believes in second chances . he knew that i could turn my life around even though i did all of those horrible things , and i have never -- i have never experienced that kind of faith from someone before . i 've never experienced that kind of unconditional love ! i ca n't lose eric . i ca n't lose him the way you lost brooke . sheila : you 're hurt ! you 're lashing out . i understand that , but -- eric : not another word , sheila ! not another word . you come back , you 're saying you want to make amends ... you want to work your way back into our family and back -- back into my life . and then you dare to come into my house , saying these hateful things ! sheila : i 've got proof , eric . eric : no , you have nothing ! it 's lies , sheila ! my son and my wife would never betray me like that . i want you to go . i never want to see you again . i never want to hear about you again . i want you out of here . i want you gone . for good ! coco : what kind of favor ? r.j. : it 's the fourth , right ? first as boyfriend and girlfriend . coco : mm - hmm . r.j. : i was thinking maybe we could do something to mark the occasion . coco : okay . what were you thinking ? r.j. : i do n't know , maybe a photo shoot . take some shots of you being in something patriotic . you game ? coco : not on your life . r.j. : [ laughing ] okay . coco : no ! what ? r.j. : i tried . i tried . thomas : babe , do n't worry about your sister . i will tell coco the whole challenge was my idea , okay ? we have to focus on following through with monte carlo . this is spectra 's first test . not to mention our premiere as designers together . we have to impress everybody that 's showing up to this thing . sally : yes , and show the entire fashion world that we are a design duo to be reckoned with . thomas : because we are . or will be , once we 're going toe - to - toe with forrester . sally : say it again . thomas : i do n't know which part i 'm saying again . sally : [ giggles ] how we are going to kick princess steffy 's butt in monte carlo . thomas : we are absolutely going to kick her ass . [ both laugh ] ridge : listen to me . everything 's gon na be fine . quinn : stop ! stop ! sheila is dangerous . she 's unpredictable . we do n't know what she 's going to do . but even if she does n't have anything on us , we 're never gon na be free of this secret . brooke , katie , ivy at some point could decide that eric needs to know the truth and -- ridge : they 're not gon na say anything . quinn : maybe ! but it is going to haunt us for the rest of our lives . we are never gon na know how , where , why , or when it 's ever going to come out ! it 's always gon na be between me and my husband . it 's always gon na be between you and your father ! eric deserves better than that . he deserves better from us . i told you the other day -- i want to be the woman that eric thinks i am . i know that you want to be the son that your father thinks you are . he has to hear this . from us . before anyone else . yeah , it 's possible he could shut both of us out of his life . but knowing your father 's goodness , if there is a man on this planet who 's capable of forgiving us , it 's eric . it 's time we 're honest with him . sheila : eric , please . i 'm just thinking of you . eric : you 're telling me lies about people i love , sheila . sheila : no , i 'm not telling you lies . eric : i want you to get out . sheila : no , you 've got to believe me when i say that your wife is having -- eric : you know nothing about my wife ! sheila : you 're right . you 're right . when i first came to los angeles , i knew nothing about quinn . but i want to believe that she 's everything that you believe she is . i started seeing things , small things . still enough to make me concerned about you , and i 'm not the only one , eric . i talked to some people . they were concerned . they let some things slip . eric : oh , come on , sheila ! come on ! sheila : do n't you remember when brooke and ridge were supposed to be married in australia , and brooke called the wedding off the day before ? i believe that she found out that ridge and quinn were having an affair ! eric : all right , come on ! you 've got to stop this , sheila ! please ! sheila : no ! stop ! i saw it . i saw it today with my own two eyes -- the two of them -- and they looked guilty , eric . they do n't want to betray you , but they -- they have no choice ! they are ! they 're not trying to . eric : my god , look at you . you have n't changed , not one bit . you 're just as evil and deceitful as you ever were . sheila : no . no , it 's ridge and quinn that are being deceitful . god , eric , you are being played by the two people you love the most . eric : my wife and my son love me . they would never do something like this to me . something this sick and twisted could only come from a mind as sick and twisted as yours ! r.j. : so , too revealing ? coco : why do n't you try it on ? you tell me . r.j. : okay , yeah , no , it might be a little snug , but ... coco : r.j. , stop . stop . r.j. : [ laughs ] all right , all right . i still think you 'd look hot in it , though . coco : thanks . r.j. : before we head over to your gram 's , i actually do have a surprise . coco : if it 's another bathing suit , i 'm ... r.j. : no . no , it 's not . i swear , it 's cool . all right ? something totally l.a. you trust me ? coco : always . always . sally : spectra fashions in monaco at spencer summit ? is this my life ? like , when i think about my first fashion preview , in this office with jarrett and what a disaster it was , and now here i am , with thomas forrester of all people , and we are sharing this office together and revamping the company . like , it could not get any better . [ giggles ] thomas : you want to bet ? sally : okay , you 're right . no , it is just the beginning , but we have got to make the most out of monte carlo . thomas : and we are going to ride all that pr out straight to success . sally : this is happening . we 're on our way , and it is all thanks to you . never in my wildest dreams could i ever have imagined anything like this . or anyone like you . sheila : it 's understandable . this is too painful to consider . but ridge is the one you should be angry with , given his history with the women that you love in your life . you were married to brooke -- eric : sheila , stop ! stop ! sheila : no , no , you need to listen to this , it 's for your own good ! eric : look , you ca n't -- you ca n't shake my faith in my son and my wife . you ca n't do it ! sheila : do you think i wanted to come here with this ? i agonized over this until i saw the two of them -- eric : you saw nothing ! my wife is completely devoted to me . sheila : no , you know what ? i see what this is doing to you , and it 's killing me . you deserve the truth , eric ! eric : the truth ? you do n't know anything about the truth . you have no relationship with the truth at all ! you have n't changed a bit ! you 're still the same psychopathic liar that you always were . i want you out of my house right now . come on ! come on ! out of here . go ! go ! quinn : what is she doing here ? eric : she 's leaving . she 's leaving the house right now . ridge : good . dad , we need to talk . quinn : sheila , get out ! sheila : oh , no . i would n't miss this for anything in the world .	sheila speaks strongly to eric . she is sorry she has to tell this to a very loving , trusting man but his wife and his son are having an affair . quinn tells ridge that they owe his father the truth and it will hurt less if it comes from them and not sheila . he says sheila is delusional and she can do no harm . eric is livid . he says how dare sheila come in his house and say such things about his wife and son . coco tells rj that thomas really forgave sally for what she did and now spectra will flourish with him there . thomas tells sally that he thinks the ice is melting with steffy and she is finally accepting his choice . and sally will not embarrass them in monte carlo . they will be meeting all the greeters and shakers , it will be fabulous . sally laments she is only worried about one thing as she can see that coco is still not crazy that she has pulled another stunt on his family . quinn tells ridge that she was a pariah and eric turned all of that around . she sees a new life that she has never experienced before . she can not lose him the way he lost brooke . eric rants at sheila that she dares to come into his house telling these lies . his wife and son would never betray him like that . he wants her to leave . he does not ever want to see her again .
steffy : girls are still asleep . liam : yeah , well , they had a pretty big day at the beach . steffy : well , hopefully they 'll wake up before the fireworks ! liam : phoebe 's not gon na miss her first independence day . steffy : uh , excuse me , kelly did . she slept right through it . hey . where 'd you go ? liam : [ sighs ] i was thinking about when i went to see hope the other day , to apologize for the party and ... steffy : yeah . liam : tell her about ... that . steffy : yeah , i know i was n't easy , but at least you were open and honest . liam : yeah , because if anybody was gon na tell her we made love , it -- it had to be me . thomas : hey . dad and brooke were asking about you down by the pool . hope : is douglas still with them ? thomas : uh , no , he 's -- he 's upstairs getting changed . he 's really excited to see the fireworks with you tonight . hope : should be beautiful . thomas : only if you 're up for it . hope : i do n't want to let douglas down . thomas : it 's okay to be upset about liam and my sister . i mean , they 're back together , and not just as co - parents , but as a couple . hope : you know , i 'm just trying to not to think about that right now . i just want to give douglas the best 4th of july he 's ever had . it 's his first holiday without his mother , and , you know , it might be hard for him . thomas : i 'm so proud of him , how he 's dealt with all of this . i mean , his -- his courage , and ... a lot of that 's because of you . it 's true , hope . you showed him he was n't alone . you got him through those feelings of -- of loss and rejection . hope : well , his mother did n't want to leave him , thomas . caroline died . thomas : well , we know that , but he 's a little boy . i mean , all he feels is -- is ... loss and abandonment . hope : well , he has n't been , not at all . thomas : no , and i 'm trying to reinforce that every single day . i want to make sure that he does n't forget it because he could get set back in his progress so easily . he just needs to know that he 's loved . hope : thomas ... he knows that you adore him . thomas : it 'd be good for him to know that you love him , too . brooke : are you sure ? ridge : yes , i am . brooke : oh ! thomas . i thought you 'd be upstairs with douglas . thomas : uh , yeah , i 'm actually heading up there now . i 'll see you at the cabin later . ridge : son . hope : i , um -- i 'm sorry i did n't come down and join you earlier . ridge : well , sometimes you just , uh , got to take a moment for yourself . brooke : so , what were you and thomas talking about ? hope : liam and steffy , the night of the party . brooke : i hope that liam apologized for his behavior . hope : yeah , he did , actually . he , um , came to see me at the cabin the next morning . brooke : oh ! you did n't tell me that . hope : i just needed some time to process on my own . brooke : process what ? hope : liam told me something . he and steffy made love . they 're back together . liam : hope was , uh ... she was hurt . she was really hurt . steffy : well , you had to be honest . liam : yeah , well , believe me , she was just as honest with me . steffy : and that 's good , right ? you were able to say everything you needed to say . liam : i just -- i do n't want her to be more hurt , you know ? i do n't want her to be more vulnerable . steffy : vulnerable to what ? my brother ? thomas : did you have fun swimming with grandpa and brooke ? douglas : i guess . thomas : well , you seemed like you were having fun . what happened ? what happened to that smile ? douglas : daddy , is mommy still in heaven ? thomas : yes . douglas : will i see her again ? thomas : you mean , is she coming back ? um ... no , douglas . i 'm sorry , she 's gone . but , you know , when she was here , she said something to me . she said that if she ever went up there to heaven , that she 'd be happy if you were happy . okay ? and -- and you 're happy when you 're with hope , are n't you ? douglas : yes . thomas : well , me too , okay ? and that 's -- that 's what gon na happen . you , me , and hope , we 're gon na be together , we 're gon na be a family . but i need your help , okay ? all right . douglas : [ gasps ] thomas : look at that . you try hard , hope : i appreciate liam being honest with me . i guess it was inevitable that he and steffy would make love again . i just did n't think it would be so soon . i mean , this was the man that was fighting so hard for our marriage , the man i thought i 'd spend the rest of my life with , and ... raise our daughter together . but ... he gets to have all that with steffy now . i mean , of course they 'd get back together . you know , they live together . they 're parents , they 're partners , and they love each other , and the love those girls , and ... how could i be angry at that ? yes , it hurts . i ca n't pretend it does n't , but ... i guess i am jealous , on some levels , about the life they 're gon na have together as a family , all the holidays , all the birthdays , the ball games , the recitals ... all of the firsts . but their life is gon na be beautiful . every bit as beautiful as the life that we would have had with beth . but wishing is n't gon na bring that back . beth is gone . no . and the life we wanted was never meant to be . liam : where 's daddy ? where 's daddy ? yes ! steffy : i told you she could n't wait to see the fireworks . liam : i know ! it 's not even dark yet , princess ! [ phoebe babbling ] oh , she 's impatient . steffy : well , maybe our little peacemaker is trying to distract us from talking about uncle thomas . [ grunts ] all right . you 're getting big ! gosh ! liam : i -- i know what your brother means to you , steffy . i do . steffy : yeah , you just -- you do n't trust him . liam : well , he gives me reason not to . i mean , every time i 'm around the guy , he 's pushing the envelope ... steffy : i -- i know , he came on too strong with hope when you were married to her . and if i were in town , i would have told him to knock it off , but i wasn't . i ca n't blame him for wanting hope to be part of douglas ' life . you know , she 's an incredible woman . liam : i -- steffy : you see how she is with phoebe . she 's meant to be a mom . liam : i know ! i know . i agree . hope would be an incredible mother , but that 's not thomas ' only objective . steffy : well , he wants the three of them to be a family . the same thing hope wants for us . liam : it 's not the same thing , though . thomas does n't want hope to be douglas ' mother . what is that ? that 's not even a thing . thomas wants hope for himself , and he 's not gon na let anything stand in his way . steffy : okay , you 're making him sound like he 's obsessed . liam : you said it , not me . steffy : yeah , i 'll admit , my brother is intense , but if he is committed to making a life with hope and douglas , i honestly do n't see anything wrong with that . liam : well , i do . thomas : now , we can come back to this later . we have to finish getting ready . remember ? we 're heading over to hope 's cabin to watch the fireworks . douglas : will there be ice cream ? mommy liked ice cream with fireworks . thomas : yeah , i bet hope does , too . and you want her to be your new mommy , right ? you love her , like we talked about ? douglas : you 're getting married . thomas : well , i have to ask her first , but yes . and then she 'll be your mommy . and we 'll be a family . and that sounds good to you , right ? that 's what you want ? do you want to try saying it ? do you want to try saying , um ... you want hope to be your mommy ? douglas : i want hope -- thomas : oh , no , no , no . look , well , say it like you 're talking to her , okay ? so , like , `` hope , i want you to be my mommy ! `` douglas : hope , i want you to be my mommy ! thomas : that 's right ! exactly . you know what , hope is really sad right now , okay ? so we need to give her something . she needs to know how much we love her and how much we need her . douglas : the ring ! thomas : yeah ! smart boy . that 's exactly right . and , you know what , this ring -- this ring has special powers . it 's magic . if she puts it on her finger , then everything is perfect . douglas : are you gon na give it to her tonight ? thomas : well , i had a -- a different idea . [ vacuum ] ridge : hey . did hope go down to the cabin ? brooke : yeah , a while ago . ridge : okay , i should tell thomas because they 're gon na watch the fireworks together with douglas . brooke : i know . ridge : that little kid 's really excited . and , who knows , maybe that 'll cheer up your daughter a little bit , too . thomas : it 's called a proposal . douglas : when you ask hope to get married ? thomas : yeah , except this one 's gon na be more special because you 're also gon na ask her to be your mommy , too . you want to give it a try ? douglas : `` my daddy wanted me to ask you to marry him . `` thomas : oh , no , uh ... so not like that , okay ? you ca n't -- you ca n't tell her that i told you to do it . douglas : you did . thomas : right , yes . yes , but , see , hope ca n't know that . actually , no one can know that , okay ? because it 's our little secret . it needs to come from you , okay ? because that 's what makes it really special for hope . you want to give it another shot ? say it one more time for me ? douglas : will you marry my daddy ? will you be my new mommy ? thomas : that 's it ! yeah . good job . and we can add a little bit to that later , but , um , that 's a great start . and , look , why do n't we , um ... why do n't we get dressed up ? it 's gon na be a real special occasion , so we want to look really nice . so maybe a collar and comb your hair a little bit . what do you say ? yeah ! there it is ! [ cellphone chimes ] [ fireworks shooting ] liam : uh , hey , steff , the fireworks are starting ! hope : liam ! i 'm pregnant ! liam : oh , my god . can your hair survive damage ? ridge : i know you 're worried about hope . brooke : are n't you ? ridge : she 's not alone . she has us . and she 's strong . like her beautiful mother . brooke : yeah , just -- i wish she did n't need to be so strong . ridge : i do n't think she 's second - guessing her decision to end her marriage . and i think liam is exactly where she wants him to be . with steffy . and steffy and liam putting their family back together ... i know has got to make you happy a little bit , too , for the kids . steffy : wow ! liam : do you see that one ? do you see all the sparkles ? steffy : oh ! [ gasps ] liam : oh , it 's so big and bright ! steffy : you 're so good with her . liam : well , she makes it easy . steffy : i , uh ... i meant to say this earlier , but i -- i was n't sure if i should . today must be bittersweet for you . beth must be on your mind . this was the day hope told you she was pregnant . liam : uh , yeah . yeah , it is . i do n't just remember what happened , i also remember what never happened , you know ? so , yeah , when i think back to how excited hope and i were last year , it 's -- it 's , uh -- [ laughs ] it 's like you said , it 's just -- it 's bittersweet , that 's all . but i got to tell you , being here with the girls , it 's -- it 's nice , it helps . it 's -- it 's comforting . especially phoebe . [ chuckles ] because phoebe 's got to be around the age that beth would have been , i think . and i 'm not -- i 'm not -- i 'm not comparing them , you know , i 'm not projecting , and i know phoebe 's adopted , but ... when i hold her ... when i hold her , the love is the same , you know ? it 's , um ... it 's just as strong , and just -- and i realize this little angel is my daughter now . she really is . [ sighs ] douglas : look at that one ! [ laughter ] thomas : it 's good to see you smiling again . hope : well , i love fireworks . ever since i was a little girl , the 4th of july was special to me . the whole family would get together , get the blankets , lay out on the yard , look up at the night sky . douglas : hope ... i have something important to ask . hope : what is it , douglas ? douglas : you make me and my daddy so happy when my mommy is gone , but when i 'm with you , i do n't feel sad anymore . i do n't want you to be sad , either . i love you , hope . will you be my mommy ? will you marry my daddy ?	liam seems distracted . steffy pulls it out of him that he was thinking of just being at hope 's . he hopes the girls will awake after being on the beach and now with fireworks tonight . thomas tells hope that his dad and brooke are at the pool asking about her . douglas is counting on her coming . thomas says he knows it was a stunner to learn that liam not only was co - parenting with steffy but they are a couple again . but she knew liam was moving in so she should have expected this . hope apologizes to ridge and brooke for not joining them . ridge says it is okay , she just needed some time to herself to reflect . she says she knew liam would be with steffy but she did not expect they would connect again so soon . she can not pretend that it does n't hurt . their life will be beautiful and there will be all those firsts - birthdays , celebrations , holidays and ball games . but she will join them for the rest of the day . she does not want to let douglas down . it will be his best july 4th ever . steffy tells liam that he is making it sound like thomas is obsessed with hope . liam says she said it , not him . she sees nothing wrong with thomas now seeing hope or planning a future for them .
ridge : kira , michelle , take a spin , will ya ? eric : caitlin did these ? rick : down to the last stitch . eric : she has talent . stephanie : yes , but it 's raw . ridge : i disagree with you , mother . if anything , it 's not raw enough . it 's too , too restrained in a way . it 's like she 's been handcuffed by convention and tradition . but still , underneath all this , there 's something going on . it 's like a heartbeat . it 's got this almost animal energy about it . now , if we could release that animal energy -- take off that last tier , go asymmetrical . thorne : you did n't really call us here to critique an intern 's designs . rick : oh , she 's a lot more than an intern . i mean , at least she could be . ridge : rick 's right . thorne : oh , so you want to make her your apprentice ? ridge : no . no . i 'm going to make her a star . caitlin : your dad did n't say anything about why he wanted me here ? thomas : no , but it 's got to be a good thing . [ caitlin sighs ] thomas : caitlin , he would n't haul you in front of the family just to humiliate you . caitlin : i just wish i 'd had a chance to talk to him . thomas : well , sorry he missed your meeting . caitlin : oh , it 's okay . i understood that . he was bringing his new little baby home for the first time . thomas : a baby he did n't even know was his until the night before . thank god they ran that paternity test again . can you imagine ? caitlin : yeah , your little brother would 've gone his whole life without knowing who he really was . makes me sick , the way jackie lied about it . thomas : at least she came clean in the end . caitlin : yeah , but your dad and brooke , they lost so much time together . thomas : they 're making up for it now . caitlin : really ? he 's not holding any of it against her ? thomas : no . not at all . he 's so happy , it 's ridiculous . he 's like a little kid . caitlin : well , i just know how worried you were about him . thomas : not anymore . everything 's the way it should 've been all along . and not just brooke and the baby . dad 's designing again , back at forrester . he 's working with my grandpa . he says he 's home . caitlin : that 's got to feel so good . thomas : it does . the whole family is finally coming together . darla : brooke , he is so beautiful . brooke : thank you . darla : alexandria 's growing up so fast , too . i ca n't believe she was actually this tiny . brooke : i know . i feel the same way about hope . darla : and they 're all going to get to grow up together . brooke : the next generation of forresters . darla : yeah . brooke : i want it to be different for them . darla : different ? different how ? brooke : well , i 'm sure you 've heard by now how it was for our husbands growing up . all the competition , the rivalry . how she played one against the other . darla : she ? brooke : stephanie . darla : hmm . i guess i never really looked at it that way . brooke : well , if you have n't seen it yet , i 'm sure you will . sugar ? darla : yes , please . well , there 's just been a little bit of tension between ridge and thorne at work . brooke : really ? darla : ridge has n't mentioned anything to you ? brooke : no . when he comes home , we just spend most of our time staring at the baby in wonder . or i 'm asleep , right ? darla : exactly . it was like that for us , too . i know . brooke : so , what 's going on at forrester ? darla : i do n't even know if i should 've brought this up , but -- brooke : brothers are going to disagree sometimes . darla : i know . but this is more like what you were talking about , the rivalry . you know , touching on old wounds . brooke : you were right to come to me . darla : you think so ? brooke : definitely . because i meant what i said . i want it to be different for this next generation . and we are the future of this family . we are the ones who are going to decide whether everybody falls back into the same old traps , or we do things differently . darla : exactly . brooke : it 's going to be harder for ridge and thorne , though , because they do n't see the patterns . they grew up in it . it 's very familiar to them . so you and i have to help them . keep them on the right track , set a good example . darla : well , i 'm really happy to hear you say that . 'cause i honestly think that you 're the only one that can help . brooke : so , you want me to talk to ridge about these problems he 's having with thorne at work ? darla : well , i think somebody has to . i tried . brooke : what happened ? darla : ridge made fun of me . brooke : really ? darla : mm - hmm . he thought i was butting in where i did n't belong . brooke : so , how does thorne feel ? darla : thorne feels that he can handle the situation on his own . brooke : i 'm sure neither one would like it if they knew you were coming to me about this . darla : yeah . but , you know , it 's like what you said , that it 's hard to see patterns repeating themselves , you know ? and i know how excited ridge is to be coming back to work at forrester , working with eric again . brooke : yeah , he is . darla : but does he know how much it means to thorne to have this new position ? i mean , to be president of the company their father created . brooke : he 's very happy for thorne . darla : he was , yeah . until thorne got in his way . brooke : got in his way ? darla : the whole time that ridge was gone , eric and thorne -- it 's not like they sat around on their butts . i mean , they worked so hard . brooke : i 'm sure they have . darla : and thorne came up with the strategy that they were putting into action . they were going to make forrester the premiere fashion house that it once was , and give it that prestige that it had before -- brooke : before me . darla : no , brooke . no . this is n't about you . no , this is about thorne 's vision for the company . brooke : stephanie 's vision too , no doubt . darla : well , everyone 's vision . until ridge came back with these ideas -- brooke : ideas that were n't right ? darla : no . no , not right at all . nothing against ridge and his ability as a designer . we all know how talented he is . but this line , um -- it 's just not forrester . brooke : according to whom ? darla : according to the president of the company . brooke : so you want me to explain all of this to ridge . darla : will you ? thomas : you 're nervous . caitlin : i ca n't help it . thomas : it 's not a big deal . caitlin : thomas , it 's a forrester board meeting . thomas : pretty soon , you 'll be like , `` oh , man , not another board meeting . `` caitlin : no , i do n't want to get my hopes up . thomas : too late . caitlin : you know , i 'd be happy just to get my internship back . thomas : okay , generally speaking , they do n't invite interns to board meetings . i mean , i 've never been to one . caitlin : oh , so you think they could actually have a job for me ? thomas : could be . caitlin : oh , my gosh , thomas . just to be here when they 're launching a new line , to see it all happen . i mean , as a dresser , an assistant -- anything . thomas : how 'd you know about the new line ? caitlin : oh , rick told me . thomas : during your meeting ? caitlin : after , when we went to lunch . thomas : oh , he took you to lunch ? caitlin : yeah . well , we were n't finished talking and he was hungry . he told me all about the new line -- and said i was in the right place at the right time . and he also said he 'd talk to your dad for me , and here i am . thomas : oh , because you know that that line 's not a definite go . caitlin : well , rick says what ridge wants , ridge gets . thomas : what else did rick say ? megan : caitlin ? caitlin : are they ready for me ? megan : yeah , they should be soon . so we should go . caitlin : okay . thomas : oh wait -- for luck . stephanie : you ca n't be serious . ridge : oh , i 'm very serious . thorne : you want to take this inexperienced , untested teenager -- ridge : oh , come on , thorne . thorne : -- and let her design her own line ? ridge : we 'd bill her as designer , i 'd be doing most of the work myself . thorne : then why get her involved at all ? ridge : thorne , in publicity alone , she 's worth her weight in gold . we 're reinventing here , and not just forrester , but cinderella . listen , is the modern - day heroine out there kissing frogs and chasing after a prince ? no . she 's making her own destiny ! stephanie : oh ! destiny . thorne : oh , now she 's a model ? ridge : more than a model , thorne . a role model . and even more than that , an inspiration . the embodiment of success . is n't that what we 're all after ? is n't that what we 'd all buy if we could ? especially in that , that age group , huh ? so who better to fill that role than a young , sexy , brilliantly talented -- stephanie : just a moment . i know this young lady . and she 's very pretty , but i would hardly call her sexy . ridge : not yet . that 's all part of the dream . the transformation -- from sweet , fresh - faced girl next door -- thorne : to what , ridge ? tramp ? ridge : to the girl who has the world on a string . taking charge , in control , making her own fantasies come true , thorne . no fairy godmother required . [ knocking on the door ] megan : she 's ready , whenever you are . eric : well , it does sound interesting . thorne : dad , it 's completely contrary to -- eric : thorne , i have n't signed off on anything . i just , uh , i 'd like to hear more . ridge : ah , you 've heard enough . now it 's time to see for yourself . the future of forrester creations . come on in . i think you all know caitlin ramirez , right ? caitlin : hi . darla : brooke ? brooke : i think thorne is right . darla : you do ? brooke : you should let he and ridge handle this on their own . darla : oh , you 're saying you do n't want to get involved , right ? brooke : i can understand your concern . darla : god , it just drives me crazy . i mean , the way people dismiss thorne and his ideas . after he 's been working so hard , it just -- brooke : eric did make him president . darla : and he earned that . brooke : absolutely . thorne is an asset to forrester . i know i could n't have run the company without him . and every business needs a nuts - and - bolts man to execute the vision -- darla : thorne has his own vision . brooke : well , of course he does . but , forrester , after all , is a fashion house , and without designers like eric and ridge -- darla : the company was without ridge for over a year , and it did n't exactly fall apart . brooke : thorne is a smart enough businessman to know that he should work with ridge 's creativity , and not fight it . look , they both have something special to bring to the table . something essential . they need each other . now , if you 're telling thorne something different , then maybe you need a little attitude adjustment . ridge : have a seat . you know everyone ? caitlin : um , yes , i do . it 's so good to see you . eric : thank you for being here . caitlin : you know , i 'm not really sure why i am . rick : we 've been looking at your designs . caitlin : oh . eric : we see a lot of promise . caitlin : thank you . ridge : rick told me you not only designed them , but you handmade these gowns yourself . caitlin : yes . yes i did . thorne : where did you learn how to do that ? caitlin : my nana taught me . thorne : nana . so you have n't had any formal training ? caitlin : no , sir . not yet . that 's why i was so excited to get the internship . stephanie : you did a fine job while you were here . ridge : and i think we can expect to see great things from you in the future . thank you , caitlin . caitlin : thank you so much , mr. forrester . rick : here -- let me show you out . ridge : tell me you do n't see what i see . thorne : what i see , ridge , is a kid . ridge : i 'm talking about the sparkle , thorne . the way she lights up a room . she 's got it . she 's got that star quality . i think we need to cultivate that and capitalize on it . thorne : like it 's that simple . ridge : well , most great ideas are that simple . thorne : you know what , ridge ? maybe in a few years , with some training , and -- ridge : what , she 's gon na be just like everyone else ? no , i think we 've got to move on this now , while she 's still young , fresh , coming - of - age . you know , that is the story we 're trying telling here . thorne : she 's got zero experience ! ridge : so we 'll bring brooke in to give her some pointers . stephanie : brooke ? eric : stephanie , do n't . stephanie : oh , i should 've known . i can see her fingerprints all over this . ridge : can we not get personal , here ? stephanie : i 'll take it personally , if you do n't mind . because it was our name and our company that was dragged into the gutter by brooke 's bedroom line . now , we do n't sell sex anymore . and we certainly do n't sell sex to teenagers . let 's just move on . caitlin : there it is . i was so nervous i almost forgot it . rick : you did great in there . caitlin : great ? i hardly said anything . rick : your designs spoke for themselves . caitlin : they really liked them ? rick : a lot . caitlin : i do n't know . you know , thorne seemed a little bit -- rick : that had nothing to do with you . believe me . caitlin : `` my nana taught me . `` what was i thinking ? rick : it was an honest answer . caitlin : well , it does n't sound very professional . rick : listen , just do n't worry about that . caitlin : i really want to work here , rick . i 'd do anything . i 'd answer phones , make coffee -- rick : i think ridge is gon na find you something more exciting than that . caitlin : because you told him about my designs . what did you say , exactly ? rick : the truth . that we would be crazy to let you slip through our fingers . caitlin : thank you . darla : you think i 'm butting in , too . brooke : i know you love your husband . and you want everybody to see him the way you do . and ridge does appreciate thorne . darla : as long as he stays in his place . brooke : look , darla , they 're going to have to work this out on their own . darla : well , that 'd be great . really . but i just do n't see that happening . all i see here is ridge trying to take over . brooke : well , it may look that way . ridge is a very dynamic person , he 's a born leader . darla : well , so is thorne . he 's just never given the opportunity to show it . he 's been in ridge 's shadow his entire life . and if ridge thinks he 's going to go back to that without a fight , he is wrong . god , brooke , he is dead wrong . ridge : mother , if you 're trying to make this a referendum on brooke -- stephanie : no . we did that last year when we threw her out of the company . since then , eric and thorne have been working night and day to rebuild the brand , have n't they ? we 've laid the groundwork , but we still have a long way to go . and now is not the time to become distracted with some new , untested and untried venture . thorne : which is my point exactly . however creative and inspiring the ideas , the timing 's all wrong . we have this whole campaign mapped out to revamp our image . to restore forrester back to its former glory . now , we 're just getting started . i need your help , ridge . i ca n't afford to have half my design team focused on stretch denim miniskirts . it 's a waste of your time and talent . ridge : and when exactly did i become part of your design team ? thorne : put your ego aside , ridge . and think about what 's best for the company . you 're talking about taking on enormous risk , committing a huge percentage of our resources to a line that 's only going to alienate our customer base . now , we 've all seen the studies , you can only stretch a brand so far before you get hit with a backlash . ridge : studies , huh ? focus groups . statistics . is that the glory of forrester , huh ? fortune follows the bold , you know that , dad . stephanie : that 's true , ridge . but there are some things that are more important . ridge : what , like getting back at brooke and me ? thorne : all right , that 's enough . now you 're making this personal , and it does n't have to be . the fact is , dad and i set our course months ago , and we 're going to stick with it . right , dad ? dad ?	ridge suggests to his family at the forrester board meeting that caitlin and her designs can be the next star that will bring the company a lot of money and recognition . they interview caitlin briefly . thorne is totally against the idea and feels threatened by ridge 's taking over . stephanie is against it when ridge mentions the possibility of bringing in brooke . they await eric 's decision . thomas is not pleased to hear that rick and caitlin went out to lunch . caitlin kisses rick on the cheek to thank him for his help . darla admires brooke 's new baby and asks her to talk to ridge about how he seems to want to push thorne aside in the company . while brooke agrees that they should n't have this rivalry ( and they should make sure their children do n't share it ) , she thinks that darla should let the brothers work it out themselves . the two women argue , defending their men .

( stammers ) he could n't -- he never mentioned anything like this . katie : well , obviously , he did n't want anyone to know . i mean , i 'm sure they did n't know that this was recording . it does n't look like it was on purpose . brooke : yeah , but what are they doing ? i mean , why did n't he ever say anything ? katie : ( chuckles ) that 's a good question . it 's a pretty big secret . brooke : not anymore . i 'm going to find out what happened between steffy and liam the day he married my daughter .	brooke sits and continues to look at the i - pad , only to find one honeymoon picture that seems out of place . it is of liam and steffy . steffy sits in her office transfixed in space thinking of that last moment with liam . hope walks in bearing a gift she brought from italy . it 's a beautiful long , blue scarf . hope laughs that steffy has a ton of class and she wants to be just like her when she grows up . they end up discussing the wedding and deacon showing up the note which steffy already knows about and liam thinking it was for him . bill drops by liam 's beach house . he even knocks and liam comments on that . bill calls him his # 1 son which means that katie is going to have a boy . liam congratulates him with a hug . bill shows him an ultrasound pix but warns liam not to try to make him a grandfather yet , plenty of time for that . right now he just wants to concentrate on katie , hope for the best but prepare for the worst . liam says this kid will be lucky and bill will be a great father starting off from scratch . he ca n't wait to meet his little brother . bill sings hope 's praises and that he is now proud to call her his daughter - in - law .

[ chuckles ] what an idiot . hope : [ chuckles ] you said it , not me . wyatt : i 'm serious . look , i mean , i do n't know you that well , but i do know a good person when i meet one . i mean , obviously , you 're gorgeous and brilliant ... hope : [ chuckles ] wyatt : ... and ... you like to take pictures of naked guys in the woods , so ... hope : [ laughing ] oh , come on . [ laughs ] wyatt : but there 's something else ... something extraordinary about you . ca n't quite put my finger on it -- not yet . but i will . just give me some time . hope : wow . i 've never been described as being mysterious . i kind of like it . [ chuckles ] wyatt : i like you . hope : [ sighs ]	wyatt asks hope to please stick around . that other guy did n't show up but they can have some fun . he puts his arm around her as the fireworks go off . she does n't want the night to end and says she thinks there should be fireworks every night . thomas tells oliver that teresa has been eyeing her all night so if he does n't hit on her , he will . caroline eyeballs disapprovingly as rick nuzzles with maya . she tells rafael that she should be in rick 's arms . she does n't know how this could have happened , but she lost rick somewhere along the way . she knows how great they are together and she has to get him back . as soon as the fireworks are over , rafael has to get rick to see his video . liam finally shows up and takes one look at wyatt with his arm still around hope and asks hope who he is . wyatt tells him his name and says he 's here because liam stood hope up . it gets a little contentious . she says the party is practically over and she told him not to come . hope even gets in a few words over the fact that they had plans and he chose this time to call steffy instead .. and points out that she left him . it 's time he accepted that . rafael shows the crowd the fantasy sequences and clearly it is hot and steamy and makes rick uncomfortable . carter says he does n't seem to remember it being that much when they shot it . maya realizes rick is upset and she also says she is an actress and that 's her job . it did n't seem that big a deal at the time . he says that he wo n't lie . he did n't expect her work to be like this . he has to see carter every day and he does n't think he can get this out of his mind . she said she thought he would be happy for her because it was n't her kissing carter , it was her character . rick says he needs a drink .

[ scene_break ] liam : you know , i can see on your face how much this is torturing you . keeping this huge secret and lying all the time and sneaking around and making lame excuses to katie , it 's -- it 's eating away at you . brooke : i hate that i betrayed my sister . liam : okay , so come clean . tell katie the truth .

[ katie and caroline laugh ] caroline . my beautiful , talented niece . the daughter i never had . you came , you conquered , you , uh -- you started your own branch of the spencer family . i wish you would have done it with someone else , but you chose ridge . come on , give me a break , all right ? i try my best to be good with this on a daily basis . caroline : yeah , you -- you do good . bill : okay , well , i 'll take that . you threw me a bone . that 's all right . wyatt . i could n't be more proud of you . i admire you , son . you 're smart , you 're ambitious . the new social - media campaign is a perfect example of that . you have good instincts . good intuition . and that 's why you married this spectacular woman right here . steffy , you are a brilliant addition to this family , and i 'm glad my son had the good sense to marry you . thomas . i do n't know , uh , exactly what the hell you are to me , but ... thomas : fair enough . bill : ... so far , i do n't mind having you around . thomas : thank you for that . bill : you 're all pretty -- pretty incredible people . but i would n't fully be able to appreciate it , to realize any of this if it was n't for katie . you taught me what i did n't know about the importance of family by becoming my wife , giving me our son , showing me the power of a child to bond two people together . we 've had our struggles . or challenges as a -- as a couple , like -- like most people . but the fact remains that we are family in the deepest , most permanent sense of the word . [ scene_break ] brooke : i feel horrible about all of this . liam : well , katie deserves to know that you and my dad are involved again . what the hell happened , brooke ? it was supposed to be over a long time ago . brooke : yes . it was . that breakup was real . liam : okay , well , something changed . brooke : it 's all my fault . katie and bill were fine . and then i had to open up my mouth and tell him that i love him . and then all of a sudden it was like a runaway train . so if you want to blame somebody , blame me . do n't blame your father . liam : yeah , no , he could have turned you down . brooke : no . we tried , liam . once we both acknowledged our feelings , those feelings were impossible to ignore . liam : so you acted on them . brooke : yes . no . liam : ca n't be both . brooke : we were close . but we were n't intimate . not like that , anyway . liam : oh . well , that 's something , i guess . brooke : i just never should have said anything . because katie overheard , and -- liam : wait . wait a second . katie heard you ? brooke : yes . that 's when she spun out of control , and she started acting erratically , and started drinking . and then she blamed bill and me for flirting right in front of her , which we were not doing , and then the next thing you know she 's inviting us over to dinner so we can all bond . i mean , it was really very strange . not that i 'm justifying anything . liam : wow . well ... i - i did n't know anything was going on between you and my dad . but i have been spending a lot of time with katie lately , and i 've had , like , a front - row seat to -- to what she 's going through , and i can tell you , she thinks she 's losing her mind . i mean , 'cause she sees something , right ? you know , she -- she knows in her gut that it 's there . but you -- you guys keep telling her she 's wrong . so you got to think , from katie 's point of view , either -- either , what , she 's crazy , or the two people she trusts most in the world are lying to her . again . i mean , arguably that 's -- that 's even worse . so you got to stop . you got to stop putting her through this mental torture . 'cause , for one , y - you 're better than this . and two , it 's not fair , brooke . tell your sister the truth .

ridge : sheila needs to go . sheila : no . no , is n't that why you 're here ? the two of you standing with that guilt all over your faces ? ridge : dad ! make her leave , please ! sheila : no , i 'm not going anywhere . not until you tell eric the truth . coco : so , this surprise of yours -- does it involve food ? r.j. : you hungry ? coco : yeah , i 'm starving , and grams will probably be out of pigs in a blanket by the time we get to her party 'cause she never makes enough . r.j. : okay , okay , uh , think fast -- sushi or tacos ? coco : tacos . tacos . r.j. : all right , all right . tacos it is . i actually know a great place in the valley my mom used to go to in high school . coco : where is -- wait , where 's your car ? r.j. : i did n't want to park in my usual spot because it would kind of ruin the surprise . coco : okay , why would seeing your car ruin a taco stand in the valley ? r.j. : because the destination is n't the surprise . it 's the journey . okay , come on . hop in . bill : so , what part of `` i 'm taking the afternoon off `` did you not understand ? now earn your paycheck , son . kids today . brooke : you can go to the office . i know you 're tempted . bill : oh , i 've got all the temptation i need right here . eric : come on , sheila . you 're leaving right now . quinn : what is she even doing here ? eric : look , it 's just a bunch of stupid accusations . it 's nothing ! it 's nothing ! sheila : tell him ! ridge : whatever you think you heard , sheila , whatever you heard from somebody else ... eric : look , if it was n't so laughable , it would be awful . she says that the two of you are lying to me , something 's going on . quinn : what is that supposed to mean ? sheila : exactly what it sounds like . go on . tell eric that i 'm wrong . i dare you . coco : this is yours ? r.j. : it 's my dad 's . he collects classic convertibles . coco : so you pretty much have access to a convertible any time you want ? r.j. : [ laughs ] does this make me seem like out - of - touch rich kid ? coco : no ! no ! this makes you the coolest boyfriend ever . r.j. : okay . i 'll take it . coco : so cool . r.j. : okay . coco : okay . start ' er up . let 's do it . r.j. : all right . let 's do it . [ engine starts ] rj : sounds good , right ? [ laughs ] coco : phenomenal . bill : oh ! the water 's great . you should have joined me . r.j . still coming over for dinner ? brooke : i think so . although , he is spending the day with coco and they said that they are going to her grandmother 's party later , so i have a feeling that r.j. might call and cancel . bill : or he 's going to show up two hours late wondering what went wrong . brooke : what does that mean ? bill : that means the poor kid grew up with ridge as an example . so if r.j. is anything like his father , he may be getting slapped as we speak . brooke : oh . i 'm gon na slap you , mister . bill : promise ? sheila : you said you had something to say , so say it . ridge : it 's a private conversation . you can get out . sheila : no , i 'm here as eric 's friend . i think he 's gon na need the support after he hears ... eric : oh , come on , sheila . you 're out of your mind . they 're not gon na come in here and say , `` we 're having an affair ! `` they 're not gon na do that . ridge : an affair with quinn ? no . i would never do that to you , dad . quinn : no , you mean too much to me . you mean too much to both of us . i -- sleeping with your son , i 'd never let myself ... eric : `` never let yourself ? `` you 'd never even consider it . the whole idea is outrageous . ridge : but there is something we want to talk to you about . after sheila leaves . eric : no , you know , i think whatever this is , we need to talk about it now . early morning the brand new day perfect time to get away i love taking the open road and looking for all of the places we will go wherever the stars can shine in your eyes wherever the sun - light makes you smile wherever you go it 's beautiful wherever you go it 's beautiful bill : you know , i could give r.j . some tips if this thing with coco 's getting serious . brooke : oh , boy . are we back on the topic of his father being a bad example ? bill : well , come on ! you know as well as i do that forrester sabotages every relationship he 's in . he royally screwed up with you , thank god . you never did tell me what that was about . you do n't have to protect him , brooke . brooke : [ sighs ] it 's not about protecting him . it 's just some things never need to be thought about ever again . eric : this thing that sheila 's been saying -- you -- you deny it , right ? ridge : an affair with quinn ? yes , i absolutely deny that . quinn : we want to make it very clear . there was never any affair . i value our relationship too much . eric : but ... ? ridge : can she leave , please ? eric : no , just -- just tell me what it is , ridge . just tell me what it is ! ridge : it was nothing . we kept talking about it ... eric : no , no , no , no . spit it out . spit it out . ridge : i hated her ! eric : yes . ridge : and i would have done anything just to get her out of your life for good . eric : yeah , but then you got to know her . and you saw how much i mean to her , and then ... ridge : yeah , i saw all that . and i saw that we had more things in common than i thought . [ exhales sharply ] this all started when you sent us to san francisco . eric : how -- how -- how `` it `` started ? what ? how what started ? ridge : the symposium was a big success , and we wanted to celebrate . so we went to the hotel room , had some tequila ... eric : wait , wait , wait . so you went to the hotel room and you had -- you celebrated with tequila and you were in the hotel room ... oh , my god . look at you . what is this ? ridge : this is on me , dad . quinn had no part of this . eric : quinn had no part of what ? ridge : i kissed her . i -- i kissed your wife . i do n't know , maybe to show her that i could . and that 's it . sheila : that 's what we 're supposed to believe , that it all stopped right there , two of you drunk in a hotel room ? ridge : no one was drunk ! and yes , it stopped there . quinn : we wanted to tell you the truth , but we knew it would hurt you , and it 's not like my feelings for you had changed at all . eric : so it was just a kiss ? just a simple kiss ? ridge : yeah , sure , that 's basically it , sure . quinn : he needs to know everything . please . there were more moments . eric : more moments ? quinn : inappropriate glances , a few more kisses . it was all meaningless . ridge : it was an adrenaline rush because we hated each other so much . and then when we did n't , it was because she was off - limits , because we both have this self - destructive streak in us . quinn : yeah , it was self - destructive . it was -- it was falling back on old patterns , doing what 's wrong . i mean , risking the one thing i care about most in this world -- you . eric : and you did . quinn : i know , that 's why we 're telling you now because i can not lose you over a few innocent kisses . they were moments that ended before they ever began . eric : moments ? moments that decent people never would have allowed to happen . quinn : right . eric : moments that end marriages . coco : we 're stopping ? r.j. : well , you 've been posting a lot of selfies . thought you might want one with the view . coco : [ laughs ] smart man . let 's do it . come on . r.j. : yeah . all right ! sun 's up , let 's get down i feel the rhythm and i hear the sound of you and me r.j. : okay , wait . okay , stay right there . coco : what ?

coco : i like the `` or . `` r.j. : i like `` or , `` too . bill : you know i always get what i want , right ? brooke : eventually . bill : so , if i want to know what ridge did , i 'm going to find out . brooke : what if i told you it 's not important ? bill : i 'd say you were a terrible liar . brooke : i 've told you before to leave it alone . bill : what about if i guess ? how about then ? brooke : [ scoffs ] you are impossible . bill : i know . quinn : no , you do n't mean that . these kisses are n't enough to end a relationship . eric : they already have . sheila says that 's the reason you and brooke broke up . quinn : it was the day of steffy 's wedding . after the reception , i -- i went for a walk on the beach , remember ? i ran into ridge . sheila : brooke caught you , did n't she ? ridge : she saw us , yes . quinn : we were both talking about how happy we were that we had never crossed the line with each other . that i had you , and that he had brooke , and we were even laughing about the fact that we had ever looked twice at each other , and then we ... we kissed . it was -- it was a kiss to say goodbye . but we did n't know that brooke was watching us . eric : that 's when brooke came to my room . oh , god ... brooke , are you okay ? brooke : no , eric . i 'm not okay . not at all . something horrible -- horrible is going on , and you need to know about it . eric : she wanted to tell me . but you two would n't let her . you convinced her to keep quiet about this . ridge : we did n't convince her of anything . she knew that this meant nothing . eric : she left you ! ridge : she did because she realized that i was n't right for her anymore . eric : no . ridge : but quinn is right for you . i know that . we all know that . brooke knows it . that 's why she did n't say anything to you . she did n't want you to throw away your marriage to her because of me and because of something meaningless . quinn : eric . i made a mistake . i made many mistakes . but i -- i believe in us . i believe in our marriage . please tell me you do , too . ridge : this is my fault , dad . you want to hate somebody ? go ahead and you hate me . i 'll grab my stuff and move out , leave the two of you alone . but do n't punish quinn . do n't throw away what you have with her because of a stupid mistake . bill : did you text r.j. about coco joining us ? i was serious about that . brooke : [ scoffs ] i do n't want to embarrass him . on a date , getting a text from his mom . bill : well , maybe you think i 'm the one who will embarrass him if he invites her . brooke : well , you do have a way about you , a kind of directness that 's endearing to those of us who love you . but ... bill : stop . [ chuckles ] brooke : thank you for spending the afternoon with me . bill : thank you for tolerating it . coco : seriously ? r.j. : yeah . go for it . coco : okay . do n't mind if i do . [ laughs ] r.j. : all right . come on , come on hide and seek and find me come on , come on fast forward , rewind me come on , come on before i 'm gone , gone , gone gone , gone , gone go on , go on take a picture of me go on , go on upload it online me come on , come on try to catch me if you can catch me if you can [ car horn honks ] r.j. : coco ! [ crash ! ] [ car horn blaring ] eric : i 'm just slightly confused . you tell me that these , uh , these kisses were meaningless . quinn : they were . eric : and yet , here you are , both of you standing here absolutely mortified . obviously there was more to it . ridge : there was n't . eric : no , the two of you are absolutely insisting that it was n't an affair ... quinn : i 'm telling you , it was n't an affair . eric : is there a better word for it ? ! sheila told me that you were lying to me and that i needed to know the truth , that i deserved to know the truth . i tried to kick her out of the house ! i wanted her out of here ! this has been going on , and neither of you had the courage to come and tell me ? i had to find out from her ? quinn : you did deserve the truth , and we had already decided to tell you ! eric : and i went to anybody who would listen -- anybody who would listen to me . i 'd tell them how wonderful you were and how much you loved me ! and how loyal you were to me . quinn : i am loyal ! eric : except for when you 're kissing my son ! quinn : you 're upset . you should be furious . kissing him , flirting with him , i - it was ... it was wrong , i let it get out of control , but -- but i never stopped loving you . i do n't know what i would do without you . sheila : you mean the house that he provides for you , right ? your job ... quinn : no ! i do n't care about that ! that has never been important to me ! you know that ! it 's always been you ! you 're the one i have always wanted . because of you , i like who i am now . please do n't take that away from me . eric : i 'm supposed to understand that i mean so much to you that you could n't resist him ? quinn : i do n't understand . how can i expect you to understand ? i do n't know why this happened ! all i know is that i -- i love you . i know that this is over . it will never , ever happen again . it 's over . please , eric . please . tell me we can move on from this . just please tell me you 'll forgive me .	eric tries to put sheila out of the house but she wo n't budge . with a smug look on her face she tells ridge and quinn to fess up and tell the truth . she can see the guilt all over their faces . eric says it is ridiculous but sheila has said they are having an affair and that is crazy . quinn says that is ridiculous . they would never do that to eric . again he tries to get sheila out the door . she wo n't so eric tells them to just spill it out what they came to talk to him about . he insists when ridge wants to wait until sheila leaves . ridge starts slowly by saying that eric knows he hated quinn and wanted her out of eric 's life . he planned this . he kissed her and that was it . sheila wo n't let him stop there . she even mentions the hotel room and quinn takes over and says yes there were a few innocent kisses in san francisco when tequila was involved but that is all that happened and they wanted to tell him but knew he would be hurt . ridge admits it was all his fault , this dark streak in him - quinn had nothing to do with it . eric is appalled .
douglas : will you marry my daddy , hope ? i love you so much . will you be my mommy ? can we be a family ? brooke : thank you for coming . liam : yeah . no problem . well , ridge is visiting with steffy and the girls , so it seemed like good timing to stop by . brooke : yeah . well , i 'm glad he went over there . i wanted to talk to you alone . liam : is everything okay ? brooke : i 'm just really worried about hope . especially her involvement with thomas . xander : thomas has to be responsible for emma 's death . zoe : we have no way of knowing that . xander : he 's the reason that she crashed that car . i know it . zoe : xander , please . okay , you have to calm down . we said that we would n't talk about this tonight . just one night where we do n't think about it . just let us have one night . xander : i 'm sorry , but i ca n't stop thinking about what we 've done . it 's just been one lie after another . emma is gone , and thomas -- he 's just -- he 's just continuing his life , like nothing 's happened . and do n't tell me that he was n't involved , zoe , because pam overheard them arguing that night . thomas said that it was because emma wanted to dance in the next fashion show , but we all know that that 's a lie . zoe : what , and you just expected him to tell the truth about being alive , to admit that emma just found out we 've all been keeping this secret from hope ? xander : no , of course not . because he 's a liar . and , zoe , i 'm telling you ... thomas forrester ... is a murder . xander : all these lies , it 's -- it 's killing me ! and i know that it 's got to be killing you , too . this is n't who we are . zoe : xander , it 's -- xander : it 's not too late for us to do the right thing . all we have to do is come forward . zoe : no , we ca n't ! we can not . xander : look ! we could strike a deal with the police or with the d.a . or ... whatever . i mean ... if we tell the truth , they may have sympathy for us . i mean , hope and liam might even be grateful . zoe : grateful ? xander : yes , grateful , zoe . they 'll be reunited with their daughter . zoe : they will never forgive us . xander : well , maybe we do n't deserve their forgiveness ! we screwed up . you , flo , and me , we -- we got too caught up in what your father did , and if that 's not bad enough , there 's a very , very real chance that thomas killed emma . and now he 's got control over all of us . brooke : [ sighs ] god , this is all just such a mess . hope and thomas , and you and steffy ... i know what happened the night of the party at the beach . hope told me that you and steffy slept together . it broke her heart , liam . liam : i -- i know . i know . it was n't anything either of us planned . brooke : hope certainly was n't expecting that , and i know that she told you to go over there and live with steffy and the girls , but i do n't think that 's what she was talking about . i mean , she is devastated . and now this is going to just push her closer to thomas . hope : douglas ... thomas : it 's called a proposal . douglas : when you ask hope to get married ? thomas : yeah , except this one 's gon na be more special because you 're also gon na ask her to be your mommy , too . you want to give it a try ? douglas : will you marry my daddy ? will you be my new mommy ? hope : douglas , that is -- that 's so sweet of you . thomas , did you have any idea about this , that he was gon na propose , that he was gon na ask me to be his mommy ? ( mom ) is that for me ? zoe : we can not say a word . xander : zoe , we have to tell the police what your father did . zoe : no ! xander , it is not an option . we will be thrown in prison . i -- there will be no more nights in each other 's arms or lying in bed on the weekends . it 'll be over . and i know -- i know that 's not what you want . xander : yeah , but what about emma ? i mean , if thomas is the reason that she 's dead ... i ca n't let him get away with that . zoe : look , it was horrible , what happened to her . i feel terrible . but it was an accident . she lost control of her car . thomas was n't responsible . xander : oh , come on , zoe . i know you do n't honestly believe that . zoe : the police said she was texting and driving . okay ? if they thought there was foul play , then -- xander : they still might open an investigation ! as they should . emma did n't deserve to die . she was a good person with a whole life ahead of her . i need to know if thomas was there that night . zoe : how ? xander : the answers might be in his car . zoe : his car ? xander -- xander : just -- just think about the timing for a second , zoe . emma was on her way to tell hope , and then , all of a sudden , she just accidentally runs off the road ? come on . if i can prove that thomas killed her , he 'll be exposed . we can come clean about beth , and hope and liam will finally know that their daughter is alive . zoe : where are you going ? xander : to get the truth . brooke : i 'm sorry , i -- i did n't ask you to come here so i could attack you . liam : no , i get it . i -- i totally understand why you 're disappointed . brooke : well , it 's just the ink was barely dry on the annulment with hope before you moved on with steffy . i heard that you were drinking . liam : yeah , but ... i knew what i was doing . brooke : [ sighs ] part of me knew that was inevitable , and you and steffy had such a connection for so long . i was just hoping things would work out between you and my daughter . liam : you and me both . brooke : well , now i do n't think it 's possible . and i am worried about her well - being . liam : well , yeah . like , hope is really vulnerable right now , and -- and part of that 's on me , but part of it 's thomas just circling . brooke : i know , i -- i do n't want to say this to ridge because it 's his son , but there 's something off about thomas . he 's way too intense . liam : yeah ! exactly . well , i do n't trust him at all , and there 's no doubt in my mind that he 's just using douglas to trap hope into a relationship . liam : i , liam spencer , ask you , hope logan , to be my wife . and make me the happiest , luckiest guy in the world . to spend every day with me and our family . for the rest of your life . [ door opens ] thomas : sorry about that . it was getting kind of late , and i had to get douglas to bed , but not before a couple of bedtime stories . that kid can really charm his way into staying up late . he told me to tell you `` good night . `` he had a great time . and so did i . how cute was that , him pulling out the ring like that ? did -- i hope that did n't just put you on the spot . hope : [ scoffs ] did you really not know that douglas was going to do this ? thomas : [ scoffs ] xander : hey , charlie ! charlie : xander ! hey . hey , uh -- doughnut ? xander : huh ? model . you know ... charlie : oh , sure . sure , sure . uh , what , are you working overtime ? what 's going on ? xander : yeah . yeah . um , i was actually wondering if you could help me with something . charlie : you , uh , need me to model some swimwear , perhaps ? xander : [ laughs ] yeah . charlie : yeah ? xander : yeah , no . no , no . charlie : no ? no . okay , yeah . xander : but , uh , it 's actually a security question . charlie : oh , well , then i 'm your man . what can i , uh -- what can i do you for ? xander : yeah , um , i got something stolen from my car the other day . charlie : what ? i never -- i never saw a report on that . xander : uh , yeah , that 's -- that 's 'cause i only just noticed that it was missing , which is why you did n't get the report . charlie : right , right . xander : these cameras are on all the time , right ? charlie : 24/7 , 365 . unless it 's leap year . then it 's 366 . xander : great , um , i was -- i was hoping that i could look for some clues . how does this system work ? charlie : oh , well , uh , sit on down here . xander : sure . thanks , man . charlie : and i shall show you . okay , we have top - of - the - line equipment here that shows every square inch of the complex . okay , here 's shipping department , here 's rooftop , here 's the parking lot . xander : oh , okay , so that 's , um , ridge 's spot , right ? charlie : yep . xander : so then that makes that one , uh , thomas ' . charlie : correct - o - mundo , my friend . xander : hey , um ... where did -- where did emma used to park ? charlie : emma . yeah . xander : yeah . charlie : rest her soul . um , emma used to park over here , bless her heart .

[ door closes ] xander : okay . what really happened that night ? liam : that 's the thing about thomas . he 's crazy manipulative . he 's just using hope 's heartbreak over beth to reel her in . brooke : i know ! that 's what i 'm afraid of . i did n't want to believe it , but -- liam : hey , buddy ! brooke : hey , douglas ! what are you doing up ? douglas : getting a snack . brooke : oh ! all right . well , where 's your dad ? douglas : he 's with hope . brooke : oh , i thought you were all together . douglas : we were . we were watching the fireworks . then i gave hope her present . liam : a present , huh ? wow , that 's -- that 's really nice of you . what kind of present was it ? douglas : a ring . brooke : you gave hope a ring ? douglas : a special ring . liam : what -- cool . that 's cool . what kind of ring ? douglas : a big diamond . daddy said it was an engagement ring . brooke : an engagement ring ? are you sure ? douglas : uh - huh . liam : and -- and you gave it to her . douglas : yeah , my daddy wants to marry hope so she could be my mommy . liam : oh ! hope : did you know douglas was going to give me the ring ? thomas : no , i 'm just as shocked as you are . i had no idea he was gon na do that . hope : mm . really ? thomas : really . it was all up to him . he did it himself . hope : okay , see , that does n't really make sense because he 's young . how would he even know what a proposal is ? how would he know where to find the ring ? thomas : he 's seen it in my room before , and he knows how special it is to me . hope : i just do n't understand how he could have pulled it off all by himself . thomas : well , i think the answer 's pretty obvious . he loves you . he has asked you to be his mommy before , and -- he knows that it 'll make him happy . hope : he 's just a kid , thomas . thomas : he 's a very smart little kid . and he knows something else . he knows -- [ chuckles ] he knows how much i love you . and he knows i want you to be my wife . listen moms , hot pockets are xander : [ sighs ] come on , come on . okay . there 's them in reception , so after that time in the parking lot ... okay , there she is . now where 's thomas ? brooke : [ sighs ] douglas is asleep . liam : what the hell was that ? brooke : i know ! liam : an engagement ring ? are you kidding ? brooke : [ scoffs ] i know ! i mean , this is crazy ! i ca n't believe it ! liam : [ sighs ] i mean , we -- we know that thomas put him up to it . we know thomas is one who told douglas to do it . brooke : he is using douglas , and that 's not fair . that 's too much pressure on that little kid . he just lost his mother . liam : i know , but that is hope 's weakness . i mean , thomas is capitalizing on the fact that we lost beth and douglas lost his mother , and he 's using that to reel her in . it just -- it shows you how twisted he is . brooke : oh , my god . that is so conniving . liam : well , he 's obsessed with her . he 'll do whatever it takes to have her , including using his son . but , do n't worry , i 'm not gon na let this happen . i 'm gon na go down to the cabin right now , and i 'm gon na put a stop to it . thomas : look , liam and steffy made love . they 're on their path . they 're raising kelly and phoebe together , and -- and you wanted that . hope : yes . this is what i wanted , but ... that does n't mean i still do n't care about liam . thomas : you have been tormented for months . you still are . look , i know you may not be ready to accept this , but i know that you love douglas . i told you before . you saved my little guy 's life . let us save yours . we can be a family . a family , hope . look , i know you think you lost your chance at being a mother , at having a family when beth was taken from you . but , i mean , i could give you something . i can give you douglas . look , i would do anything -- anything for you . [ car tires screeching ] [ crash ! ] look , we 're -- this is about doing what 's best for the children . give me a chance . hope , i -- i vow ... to cherish and protect you . forever . you can trust me , hope . xander : [ scoffs ] he went after her . i knew it ! he killed emma . thomas forrester ... is a murderer . thomas : your maternal instincts have led you here . you have a chance to be a mother to douglas . he 's your child now . you can be a mother , hope . a mother . we will make you the happiest woman in the world . take this ring . be my wife . say yes , hope . say yes .	douglas holds out the ring for hope and says he loves her so much . he asks if she will be his mommy and they be a family . xander tells zoe that thomas has to be responsible for emma 's death . she just wants to spend one night without thinking and talking about this . he says he is sorry . he can not spend another night either with thomas leading his life as if nothing happened to emma . thomas forrester is a murderer . all these lies are killing him . all they have to do is come forward . they could strike a deal with the police so they wo n't be involved . everyone will be grateful . liam talks to brooke and she says she knows what happened at the beach . hope told her that he slept with steffy . now this is just going to push her closer to thomas and she is worried . hope tells douglas that is so sweet of him asking her to be his mommy . she looks at thomas and asks if he had any idea what douglas was going to do . zoe tells xander they still can not say a word . no more nights like this in bed . he will be thrown in prison . he mentions emma and she says that was an accident . emma was distracted and ran off the road . xander starts to leave and says not if he can find proof that thomas was involved . hope remembers when liam got on his knee and asked her to marry him . thomas takes douglas home and comes back to the cabin . he scoffs when hope asks again if he had any idea douglas was going to do this .
stephanie : eric , your son is waiting for your decision . thorne : it 's okay , dad . we need more time . we 'll get back to you . ridge : i do n't think so . you 've already made up your mind , have n't you ? brooke : oh , that sounds great . no , it 's perfect . just perfect . thank you . thomas : what 's perfect ? brooke : the wedding invitations . they 're finished . and they 'll be here tomorrow . thomas : this time , please promise me that you and dad will not dress in halloween costumes . brooke : actually , we 're thinking about doing a scottish theme . thomas : scottish ? brooke : yeah . some of my family are scottish , so we thought it would be nice . which reminds me -- if you have time this afternoon , i need you to get you measured for a kilt . thomas : what ? you 're lucky i like you . brooke : yeah . well , you did n't always . thomas : i 'm too stubborn for my own good . brooke : you get that from your father . thomas : i wised up eventually . i really like having you as a mom . brooke : really ? thomas : yeah . brooke : thank you . that 's sweet . it 's amazing , is n't it , how things turned out ? thomas : i know . i was just talking to caitlin about that . brooke : there 's that name again . thomas : yeah . you know the story , the way that family came together . brooke : yeah . you two seem to have a lot in common . thomas : more and more every day . rick : this will only take a second . i know exactly where it is . caitlin : okay . rick : i think i left it in here on the desk . caitlin : unreal . rick : the house ? caitlin : uh , more like a castle . rick : yeah . big and empty . maybe i should do what they do with old castles and rent them out for parties and weddings . caitlin : you live here alone ? rick : it 's my mom 's house and she just moved in with ridge , so i imagine she 'll sell it . caitlin : no . no , she ca n't do this . this is way too beautiful . rick : yeah . but , you know , it 's kind of going to waste . there 's nobody to appreciate it . i 'm hardly ever here . caitlin : if i had a house like this , i would never leave . rick : you say that . but you 've never lived alone . it does n't matter what your home looks like if there 's nobody to come home to . anyways , i 'm sure this file is in here , so thorne : this is a huge decision . now , we need to take the time to properly consider everything . ridge : we do n't have the time , thorne . if we 're going to make this happen , we 've got to jump on it now , because the season 's coming and going . thorne : you are talking about committing millions and millions of dollars . changing the entire direction of this company . you ca n't do that on impulse . stephanie : certainly not . ridge : so how do we make decisions now , huh ? crunching numbers ? calling in focus groups ? thorne : yes . for a start , we do . ridge : they 're not going to tell you what i already know inside . eric : which is ? ridge : which is , this line is a winner . it 's going to take forrester to places we 've never been before . stephanie : i shudder to think where . thorne : what is wrong with where we are now ? we are back on track . and we are producing the gowns that made us great . ridge : we can do both . thorne : it will spread us too thin . and it will confuse our customers . ridge : confuse them ? what are you , nuts ? you do n't give our customers enough credit . and you sure as hell do n't give dad and i enough credit . stephanie : oh , stop it , ridge . you 're criticizing thorne because he 's trying to take a level - headed approach to business , and you 're just off and running . ridge : oh , i 'm just `` off and running ? `` stephanie : yes , like you usually do . acting without thinking . this company is still paying for a lot of your mistakes . ridge : oh , here we go again -- bashing brooke . stephanie : no . this has nothing to do with brooke . this is business . you want the company to commit millions and millions of dollars based on your gut . well , i have serious questions about your judgment . eric : i do n't . thorne : dad -- eric : listen to your brother , thorne . he 's an artist . and when an artist has this kind of belief , this kind of enthusiasm , you listen . you embrace his ideas . you run with them . thorne : what about everything we talked about ? restoring our image , restoring our brand ? eric : i have faith in your brother 's talent . he wo n't let us down . the youth line is a go . thomas : it 'll be awesome having caitlin back at forrester . brooke : i know your dad has some big plans for her . thomas : yeah , she was just going in to meet with him when i left . brooke : oh . why you did n't stay to see what happened ? thomas : well , i promised i 'd baby - sit here this afternoon , remember ? thomas : as long as i get to see caitlin at forrester every day , i 'm a happy man . rick : it 's in here somewhere , i know it is . well , at least , i think it is . caitlin : my first project when i 'm back interning is to get you organized . rick : interning ? oh , is that what you think ? caitlin , ridge did n't call you into that meeting so you could end up as someone 's gofer . caitlin : do you know what ridge has in mind for me ? rick : i might . caitlin : well , then tell me . rick : oh , no . you know what ? i think we should wait because it 's not official yet . caitlin : come on , rick , you ca n't do this to me . rick : i just -- i do n't want you to get your hopes up . caitlin : i wo n't , i wo n't . i swear . rick : ridge is pitching a youth line . caitlin : i know , you told me . rick : he wants to base it around your designs and use you as the spokes model . caitlin : okay , come on , tell me . what is it really ? rick : no . i just told you . he wants to center the entire campaign around you . so help me , god . caitlin : but i -- i 'm only -- can he do that ? rick : it never pays to bet against ridge . but just in case , cross your fingers . eric : before the end of the day today . yes . and i want all the department heads there . do me another favor -- track down caitlin ramirez for me , would you please ? all right , thanks . i hope you 'll be at the meeting . stephanie : that depends . eric : on what ? stephanie : on whether or not you listen to my opinions , or if we have a repeat of what just happened . eric : i made a timely decision . stephanie : did you ? would it really hurt to wait two or three days , or even a week , in order for thorne to make his case ? eric : i think maybe it would have , yes . stephanie : well , then you should have talked to him in private , and told him where you were heading . you did n't need to blindside him . eric : look , if he thought that being president meant that i was going to agree with -- stephanie : he thought that he had your respect . and he deserves it . as far as the line is concerned , i think he 's right . but this was the first chance , was n't it ? the first chance for him after all of these years of living in ridge 's shadow to prove to you that he 's a leader . you did n't back him up . what does that say ? eric : and what does it say that you did ? stephanie : that he needed my support . i gave it to him . eric : he 's needed it all his life . but you waited until today to side with him . the day after ridge threw you out . that 's what this is about , is n't it ? you 're punishing ridge . [ knock on the door ] thorne : i 'm busy . eric : that 's what this sudden allegiance to thorne is all about , is n't it ? you 're sticking it to ridge for getting back together with brooke . stephanie : that you could you even suggest that -- eric : i know you very well . stephanie : i agree with thorne about this line . eric : conveniently . stephanie : that you actually think that i would side with one of my sons over the other , just to twist the knife -- eric : if you were hurt badly enough , i believe you would . stephanie : well , i have no need to punish ridge . living with brooke will be punishment enough . eric : that 's good . because it 's not your job to fix his life . stephanie : i 'm trying to talk to you about your son , thorne . eric : you 're using thorne , whether you realize it or not . stephanie : are we through ? eric : are you going to listen to me ? stephanie : no , eric . eric : be careful , stephanie . you could end up losing them both . thorne : get out of here , ridge . ridge : we got ta talk about this . thorne : why ? i know where you stand . you know where i stand . ridge : we 'd be a lot more productive if we could reach some kind of consensus . thorne : you mean if i shut up and just stay the hell out of your way . ridge : is that what you think i want ? thorne : well , is n't it ridge ? it sure was a hell of a lot easier for you when i was downstairs following orders . ridge : thorne , where are you getting all this ? thorne : what does it matter ? ridge : i 've just never heard you talk like this , that 's all . at least , not until -- thorne : until what ? darla ? ridge : thorne , we had a business disagreement . that 's all it was . it happens all the time . maybe when you get a little more experience as president , then you 'll understand that . thorne : oh , words of wisdom from the great ridge forrester , huh ? ridge : i was trying to help . thorne : just always trying to teach your little brother , are n't you ridge ? ridge : something wrong with that ? thorne : you know what , you 've got a houseful of kids of your own . go help them . and what about your newborn , huh ? and brooke ? you guys fought like hell to stay together . so why are you here ? why are n't you with them , ridge ? you really need to be here with us stroking your ego ? ridge : is this what it 's going to be like every time dad backs one of my ideas ? thorne : if you continue to overstep , you 're damn right it is gon na be , ridge . ridge : overstep ? thorne : yes , you 're not running this company with dad any more , ridge . you walked out of this office . do you remember ? ridge : i do n't want to be the president , thorne . thorne : then why in hell are you acting like one ? waltzing back in here like you never left , ridge . like nothing 's changed . expecting us to just stand aside and applaud ? you know what , ridge ? do us all a favor , go back to marone where you belong . ridge : well , that 's not going to happen . thorne : no , of course not . because they would n't bow down and do your will . ridge : i 've got a lot to offer , thorne . dad sees that . thorne : oh , sure dad sees that . that 's all he ever sees . and that 's all he 's ever seen , ridge . you ! brooke : i still ca n't believe it . little thomas , all grown up with a girlfriend . thomas : no . brooke : no ? thomas : well , i mean , we actually -- technically have n't said that she 's my girlfriend . brooke : well , i do n't think it 's something you technically say . i think it just sort of happens . thomas : so , then how do you know ? brooke : well , let 's see . have you kissed her yet ? you have . thomas : girlfriend . [ laughter ] caitlin : you 're really not kidding . rick : i 'm not kidding . caitlin : me , a forrester designer ? rick : well , you 'd have a lot of help . you 'd be working very closely with ridge . caitlin : and you ? rick : and me . caitlin : i ca n't . rick : what do you mean , you ca n't ? caitlin : it 's crazy . i do n't know what ridge is thinking . rick : he 's thinking that you are incredibly talented . caitlin : but i do n't have any experience -- rick : look , we have the experience , okay ? we 'll look out for you . caitlin : and modeling ? i mean , rick , i do n't have the first clue on what to do . rick : as beautiful as you are ? you know , i 'm sure you 'll pick it up right away . and if there 's anything you need to learn , we 'll teach you . caitlin : if it even happens , which it probably wo n't . this is way too good to be true .

dante : it 's a tasteful ad . i think it will be well - received . bridget : it will probably make forrester a lot of money , too . but nick does n't care about that . and the truth is , i would n't either . i know how i felt when i walked in and i saw felicia posing nude for you . and you 're an artist , you know ? you work with models . you sculpt nudes . on one level i knew that , but i still had a very emotional reaction . i just do n't see how nick is gon na be able to see this as anything other than a betrayal . stephanie : you know , brooke would have gone through with the wedding ceremony no matter what we said . ridge : why ? because she 's in love with nick ? stephanie : no , because she can not admit that i 'm right , and that you 're right . he does n't understand her . but at least now , she has a choice . you know , he 's a very controlling person . you were never like that with her . she had a very unique relationship with you because of that . and i think that 's what she wants , and as a result of today , i think that she is going to understand she could never have the same kind of relationship with him that she had with you . nick : so forrester saw you naked . brooke : it was work . and i was only partially undressed . besides , it 's not like ridge has n't seen me naked before . nick : not when you were engaged to me , he hasn't . but i guess that 's not really the case , is it ? brooke : nick -- nick : brooke , this is a pattern , do n't you see it ? that 's why the guy has n't given up on you . brooke : he has . nick : you say that you 're committed to me , but then you go and do things like this . brooke : i did n't authorize this ad campaign . i took a photograph ! that 's all ! nick : yeah , that 's all . you really do n't get it , do you ?

can you love me ? can you accept me for the person that i am ? ridge forrester 's ex - wife ? the ceo of forrester creations ? the woman in that ad -- flawed , complicated ? because that 's who i am , nick . and i 'm not going to change . i am proud of who i am . and i want you to be proud of me , too . can you do that ?

'cause that way , when we said our vows , it was -- brooke : yeah , it means a lot to pledge your life to somebody , to honor them and love them , respect them . i think when a man stands across the altar from his wife , he needs to know in his heart that she 's the one . you made me like you . you made me want you as a son - in - law . and now i just do n't know . liam : you do n't know ? what -- brooke : i do n't know if you really love hope . liam : what ? ! brooke : should this marriage even have happened ? liam : ( sighs )	brooke holds the i - pad as she and katie open the video showing steffy in liam 's room just before he was married . clearly from what they are saying it seems to be they think hope wrote the note and left liam again . they see liam embrace steffy and knows that is not good . they hear bill call and tells liam and steffy to leave based on the information liam gives him . taylor drops in on steffy and discuss that maybe she should have stayed at dayzee 's with liam . it was so obvious from both of their faces how they feel about one another . taylor does n't know how she stays so strong with him being another woman 's husband . steffy admits that it is hard , but she is so glad that liam told her how he feels . hope tells liam that being here tonight means the world to her . all that deceit of being called a hypocrite has just been washed away .

[ scene_break ] nicole : i do n't want to go home . i want this to be home . vivienne : oh , are there parties here every day of the week ? maya : it was a holiday , mom . vivienne : be that as it may , i know what goes on on college campuses , nicole , like ucla . nicole : i 'm not there anymore . vivienne : oh . i ca n't say i 'm surprised . nicole : it just ... did n't work out . vivienne : do you ever finish anything ? maya : she can go back . vivienne : what happened to your high - school - graduation money you were saving ? nicole : it 's not cheap out here . maya : she 's fine . i have money . nicole : and i have a job . it does n't pay much , but that 's okay since i have a place to live . vivienne : yes , with your father and me . nicole : i am old enough to be on my own now . vivienne : you call this `` on your own ? `` nicole : if maya will let me stay , then i 'm staying .

[ scene_break ] vivienne : would you give the same answer if your father was standing right here ? you know very well you would n't . what has she ever done for you that would make you want to be here instead of at home with your parents who love you ? nicole : maya loves me . and when i do n't always do the right thing , she forgives me . vivienne : i know your father may be hard on you , but it 's a hard world out there . maya : yes , it is . but nicole is doing well here . nicole : i am . vivienne : you never showed any interest in your sister before . maya : you know that 's not true . i took her out for her birthday , and when i brought her home , i begged you to let me keep coming to see her and you . vivienne : i could n't have that in our home , your father 's house . maya : `` that ? `` is that how you talk about me ? i 'm a `` that `` to you ? vivienne : no . no , no , no , no . you were my precious child , my precious child that i prayed to all the angels in heaven to help me save . but the will and the selfishness in you were too strong and i failed . nicole : she is not a failure , mom . she 's my big sister .

quinn : it 's an exact replica of the -- i know you 're angry -- wyatt : angry ? why would i be angry ? because of the years of humiliation with living with a maniac who would do or say anything at any given moment ? the years of terror that i had just hoping that you would n't wake up in the morning and the terror that i had that you would . i just wanted to run away and the guilt that i had for even having that thought , because god knows i 'm the one who kept you from being put away . do you see him ? he is my brother , for god sakes . i have never had a brother . i have always been alone with you . i had nobody to run my behavior by , nobody to challenge that twisted world view that you had . he 's the one that made me want to be a better person . he is the one who made me realize that if i want things in life , i have to be the person that deserves to get them . and you know what ? all i ever wanted was the best for hope . but guess what . it was n't me . and , no , after tonight , i -- i 'm even -- i 'm glad that she broke up with me . because i would n't want her living in this -- in this crazy world that you create . liam : ask her what she plans to do to hope . quinn : i would 've never hurt that girl . liam : that is not what you said ! wyatt : how many other things would you never have done -- have you already done , mom ?

'cause he does n't care . i mean , he -- he -- he does tonight , but tomorrow , all the little lost kittens and puppy dogs will be the most important thing in the world . i 'd never have to see him again . our paths will never cross . will that be good enough for you ? wyatt : i ca n't do this anymore . i 'm done . quinn : done with me being your mother ? is that what you 're saying ? i 'm the one person in the world you can never be done with . or was n't devoting my life to you enough ? sacrificing any life of my own -- was n't that enough for you ? is this it ? wyatt : hey ! quinn : is this what 's gon na satisfy both of you ? is this it ? ! wyatt : aah ! aah ! it 's over . can you hear me for the first time in your life ? life as we know it , as mother and son , is over . you do n't have a son ! i do n't have a mother . and i ca n't save you . you raised me to believe that i could for so long , but it was just -- it drives me crazy . and being your keeper makes me as crazy as you are . and i 'm done . do you hear me ? quinn : i 'm sorry . wyatt : i do n't care what you are . quinn : oh . [ door closes ] wyatt : i got to -- liam : wyatt , no . wyatt : i got to go after her . we have to call the police . you wanted me to call the police and i -- liam : wyatt , wyatt . let her go . wyatt : i ... liam : let her go . hope : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry about all the times i said i was embarrassed by you , by ... who you dated , what you were wearing or were n't wearing . brooke : children are sensitive . parents , not always . i mean , look at your brother . he would turn beet red every time i picked him up from school . it was horrible . hope : look at wyatt . you know , look at everything he 's had to put up with , and he never complains . he will defend quinn , no matter what . brooke : that 's different . hope : how ? brooke : he knows . he knows that she is broken in some fundamental way , and she needs protecting . hope : i do think that he 's better off without her , but ... how do you turn your back on your mother ? you know that i would be devastated if anything ever came between us , right ? and i promise -- i promise -- i will try really hard to find a way to be nicer to bill because i know how much it means to you , and ... i mean , he 's gon na be my father - in - law . what choice do i have ? brooke : thank you , honey . and what about wyatt ? he 's going to be your brother- in - law . hope : yeah . brooke : so is that going to be a problem ? hope : i guess it just depends on him . i 'm really hoping that he and liam can find a way to get along . [ breathes deeply ] wyatt : you hurt ? liam : you know , i think between us , i 'm the one who got off easy ? wyatt : what a night . liam : where ... where do you think she 'll go ? wyatt : she does n't know how to hide . and why should she ? she thinks that everyone else is wrong and that she 's right . that 's how we ended up living in the warehouse . it 's a stroke of genius on my part . zoned commercial so that we 'd have no neighbors . liam : i ... i get it . i get it now , everything you 've had to deal with . wyatt : i am so sorry for all this . liam : listen ... you saved my life . wyatt : i know . i mean , maybe -- maybe i always knew this day was coming , you know ? i just wanted to be a hero for her . and just ... i always knew it was doomed . i just did n't want to be alone . liam : you are not alone , brother . i owe you my life . from this point forward , there is no such thing as `` alone . ``	liam is quivering on the floor with quinn holding the sword to his neck . she rants that she told him over and over but he would not listen . he begs her not to do this as everyone will know and she will lose wyatt . she says he is just a random bag of blood that no one will miss . wyatt and hope are not weaklings like him and they will get on with their lives . he breaks away temporarily but she grabs him and he lands on the floor prone again with her bending over him with the sword this time right at his chest . she draws it back with both hands and is about to plunge it just as wyatt barges in and calls her name and for her to stop . she tells wyatt to leave ; just meet her back home . he yells again for her to back off and he comes and pulls her off of liam . he helps liam to the couch . he tells his mom that she swore to him if this ever happened again that she would come to him first . her excuse was he does n't understand what liam said to her . she says she is the only one who is thinking clearly . wyatt makes an attempt to get to the telephone to call the police but quinn knocks it away . he says he came there to keep her from destroying herself ; that is what he always does . she says she would have gone away and then he would have the life he wanted . he 's outraged that she would think that he would step over his dead brother 's corpse and claim his spoils . he does n't need hope that badly . does she think he is that desperate and pathetic . she rages that no , it 's liam who is the pathetic one . wyatt should have what he has . wyatt says she is lucky . he could have had her thrown in jail but he asked liam not to . and he listened . he asks if she is going to kill him too .because after tonight this is going to be the end of the road for one of them . he 's the one that has kept her from being put away all these years . he points to liam and says that is his brother . he 's never had a brother . he never had anyone but her to run his behavior by , nobody to challenge that twisted world that she had . liam is the one who made him want to be a better person ; if he wanted something he had to deserve it . and all he wanted was the best for hope but guess what , it was n't him . now he 's glad hope did n't pick him . he would not want her to live in this crazy quinn world that she created . he tells her to keep her secrets as he already knows too much as it is . the only person she hurt tonight was his and her life . she calms down and even puts her arms around wyatt and says things will be fine . this is n't the end of the world . it is n't the end of anything . life is not over . she says liam is not hurt ; he 's just angry . and she knows she has been terrible to him but she thinks he understands . she points out that she is a very passionate person ; a strong person and sometimes feelings are so powerful they can not control them . wyatt steels himself and says she should go to prison for this . she 's shocked that wyatt would say such a thing . liam is angry tonight but he does n't really care . tomorrow all the little lost kittens and puppies will be the most important thing . she says she never has to see liam again ; never cross his path if that will be good enough for wyatt . he says he can not do this anymore . he is done . stunned , she says she is his mother . she is the one person he can never be done with . she has devoted her life to him and made sacrifices . that should be enough . she grabs the sword but wyatt takes it away and stabs it into the couch . he tells her it is over . if she can hear anything he says tonight let it be known that life as they knew it as mother and son is over ! he 's been her keeper for so long that it is making him as crazy as she is and he is done . he does not care who she is . she looks so forlorn , then runs out . wyatt starts to go after her or call the police or something . but liam convinces him to just let her go .

[ sally chuckles ] sally : well , i am sure that this place is much cheerier . and so are you . macy : you noticed , huh ? sally : kind of hard not to notice , when i compare how you are now as to how you were a month ago . macy : i do n't even want to think about that . i 'm just looking forward now . sally : to what ? macy : well , to spending the day with deacon and his son . sally : and after that ? macy : one day at a time . one wonderful day at a time . sally : uh - huh . i get it . macy : what ? sally : well , it 's just kind of hard to take in . i mean , this miraculous change in you . and it is even more miraculous to consider that it is all thanks to mr. deacon sharpe . macy : yeah , well , deacon 's changed a lot , too . see this chip ? he 's been sober for 60 days now . sally : good for him . that 's a real accomplishment . macy : and it 's only just the beginning . he 's turning his -- his whole life around . sally : with your help . macy : yeah , well , we 're helping each other . sally : you know , i believe you are . i will admit i had my doubts at the beginning . i was very concerned about you spending so much time with deacon and his children , and because of his connection with brooke . how 's that going ? macy : well , rick and amber are being very accommodating -- at least amber has convinced rick to let deacon have this little visit with his son . sally : and brooke ? macy : she 's determined to keep deacon from hope . sally : but he 's not going to stand for that ? macy : no , we are not gon na stand for it . sally : tell me something , macy . does brooke know that you 're involved in this ? macy : no . and she 's not gon na find out , either . deacon : not yet . not yet . okay , now you can look . what do you think ? [ laughter ] pretty cool , huh ? macy : oh , how are you ? are n't you gon na say hi ? deacon : say hi . jackie : brooke walked out on you ? what did she say ? nick : not much . she just left . she could n't handle it . jackie : why not ? nick : because i was an escape to the complications in her life , and that 's not the case anymore . jackie : complications ? i mean , no relationship is without complications . nick : i 'm getting that . jackie : nicky , you 've got to talk to her . nick : i tried . jackie : try again . nick : she 's made up her mind . jackie : do n't do that . nick : what ? jackie : pretend that it does n't matter . because it does . rick : ridge and nick are both massimo 's sons ? brooke : yes . rick : they 're half brothers . brooke : you see how this changes everything ? rick : no , honestly , i do n't . brooke : rick , i ca n't get involved with either one of them . rick : well , do you care about both of them ? brooke : well , that 's not the point . i thought i had something different with nick . something simple and untainted . rick : you like him . brooke : it 's more than that . it 's just that every time i get involved with somebody that 's connected to ridge -- i ca n't . i just -- i wo n't do that anymore . rick : well , then -- what are you gon na do ? brooke : i walked out on him . rick : what ? brooke : after he told me . rick : oh , mom . brooke : honey , i just could n't take it . i just -- i just , i want things to be different . you know , i wanted to be different . rick : you are . brooke : i do n't want to make the same mistakes that i 've made in the past . rick : look , mom , the only mistake that you have ever made is picking the wrong guy . nick is a good guy . brooke : yes , he is . rick : and he 's good for you . brooke : well , i thought so , until all of this happened . rick : mom , will you listen to yourself ? why do you think you feel so strongly about this ? because you care about him -- more than even you realize . would you really want to take this chance ? brooke : nick and i have shared a lot . i 'm not denying that . rick : exactly . you came to him when his mother was in the hospital . i can only imagine how torn up he was , but he let you in . and you were there for him . seems to me like you guys have something special . and yet , you walked out on him . brooke : he probably thinks i want nothing to do with him . rick : but that 's not true . look , mom , every relationship is complicated . brooke : not like this . rick : do you really want to let him go ? brooke : i told nick that he could count on me . rick : it 's okay to be scared . brooke : so you think i should talk to him ? rick : what do you think ? brooke : i think i owe him that much . jackie : you are not the easiest man in the world to get to know , nicky , but you opened up to brooke . nick : ha ! a lot of good that did me . jackie : yes , it did . i could see the change in you . nick : well , yeah , i 've changed . i 'm a marone ! i have a father , i have a brother , and i get to lose the girl because of it . jackie : yeah , well , if you lose her , you know , you 're gon na have no one to blame but yourself . nick : you do n't pick your parents , mother . jackie : fight for this , nicky . who cares if ridge is your half brother ? nick : she does ! her whole life has revolved around this guy , and i wanted to break that cycle . jackie : what , and now you ca n't ? i mean -- nick : i do n't know how to explain it , mother . it 's just complicated . the whole situation , it 's screwed up . it 's a mess . jackie : then work harder . you share something very special with her . nick : it just does n't seem to have the same meaning if i 'm connected to forrester . jackie : nicky , i believe that brooke was falling for you . and if that 's the case , she is not gon na turn her back on you . nick : well , she did . i do n't want to talk about it . it 's over . i 'll call you later . jackie : ni -- nicky , nicky . nicky . amber : oh , hey . there you are . rick : hey . how did everything go with deacon ? amber : just fine . you know , deacon , he picked up eric , just like we planned . rick : and ? amber : and he was sober . and eric was happy to see him . rick : what are they gon na do today ? amber : i do n't know . sounds like they were just gon na hang out at deacon 's house . rick : wait , his house ? i thought he lived in a motel . amber : no , he got a new place . rick : when ? amber : a couple days ago . you know , he 's getting some money in now because april 's on the road , and he scored some new clients . rick : well , you at least got his address , right ? amber : yes . and his cell number . amber : i know . i know , babe . i 'm nervous about it , too . but if this works out , it might be the best thing for everybody .

( sighs ) it -- it 's just that i 'm wondering whether or not you should really be taking on all these preparations . katie : ( sighs ) i keep telling everyone , i feel better and better every day . jackie : well , your physical condition is only actually part of my concern . katie : ( sighs ) i would think that you would be thrilled that your son has decided to spend his life with someone as wonderful as bridget . jackie : i adore bridget . but that 's not the point . katie : yes . that 's the only point -- making sure that this day is everything that nick and bridget want it to be . that 's all that matters . at least , that 's all that matters to me . jackie : is it truly all that matters to you ? katie : yes . i -- why else would i be going through all this effort ? jackie : that 's a good question , and you 're an intelligent woman . have it you thought about it ? katie : i do n't have to think about it . i already know the answer . i 'm doing this because i want to . after everything that those two have done for me , the least i can do is make sure that this is the most special day of their lives . and it 's going to be because i wo n't allow it to be anything else .

( laughs ) taylor : i was n't gon na put it exactly that way , but now that you have . rick : well , does it -- does it bother you that i ca n't get enough of you ? [ scene_break ] brooke : katie 's planning your wedding ? bridget : i mean , she insisted , down to every last detail . brooke : i see . bridget : i know this would normally be your job . i - i just did n't know exactly what to do . she 's been so emotional . i felt like i could n't say no . i -- brooke : no , no , that 's all right . this must be very important for her . bridget : i think she just feels indebted to nick and me . brooke : well , honey , she would n't be around if it were n't for the both of you , especially you . bridget : i actually think it 's really sweet . brooke : it 's actually kind of heartbreaking . bridget : well , i know . ( sighs heavily ) i tried to talk to her about this . brooke : you did ? bridget : yeah . when i told her that i was engaged , i was enthusiastic , but cautious 'cause i know it must be difficult for her . brooke : so you really believe that her feelings for nick run deep ? bridget : well , yeah . i - i think they run very deep . brooke : how do you feel about that ? you comfortable with that ? bridget : well , i would n't be if she had given me any indication that it was painful for her . but , mom , it 's been just the opposite . she 's kind of one of the main reasons that nick and i are getting married . she keeps pushing us together . brooke : ( sighs ) honey ... ( sighs ) are n't you the least bit ... ( laughs ) i do n't know , jealous or insecure ? i mean , think about it . you 're living with a woman who has these deep feelings for a man that you 're gon na spend the rest of your life with . bridget : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] katie : look , my feelings for nick are not a secret . donna : then how can you plan this wedding ? i mean , where does that leave you ? katie : i suppose i 'll have to find another place to live after the honeymoon . i 'm sure they 're gon na want their privacy . donna : that 's not what i was talking about , and you know it . katie : donna , i am over this conversation . i am so done talking about my feelings for nick . what we shared -- it 's over . it was never gon na go anywhere anyway . i do n't know why everyone ca n't accept that , because i certainly have . donna : look , i understand your goodness , katie , but i am gon na tell you something , just like i did when you would n't accept storm 's heart . katie : ( sighs ) donna : you have to fight for what you want in this world , especially when it comes to something like this . do n't play the martyr . i mean , nick and bridget have been married before , and it did n't work then . maybe it will now . maybe it wo n't . but you two have something special . be honest , katie . you want him for yourself . i say you be the bride . katie : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : hmm . does it bother me that you adore me so much ? let me think about this . hold on . well , i guess on the spoiling part , um , i 'm -- i 'm just a tad bit undeserving , but , no , it does n't bother me , not at all . rick : good . taylor : i 'm good . rick : and you 're -- ( laughs ) you 're not undeserving , by the way . taylor : you know , i just ca n't help but think sometimes your life could be a lot simpler . rick : simpler ? how do you mean ? taylor : well , i have a few more years of -- of baggage on me . rick : ( groans ) taylor : and , uh , your mother is n't exactly thrilled . rick : what ? so , what , i 'm supposed to choose someone that 's aligned with her preferences ? taylor : no , no , of course not . rick : okay , listen to me . what i share with you i can not share with anybody else . everything i 've ever wanted in a woman is right here in front of me . i love you . [ scene_break ] bridget : guess it 's difficult to understand why i do n't feel insecure around katie , but i do n't . brooke : are you sure , honey ? because if i were in your position , i 'm not sure if i could say the same thing . bridget : i - i -- maybe it 's because of the history that nick and i have , but i - i 'm really confident , mom . i just see it more as a necessary part of the evolution that got us to where we are today . and i feel so connected to that man , and i know he does to me . katie 's feelings for nick , um ... brooke : are what ? bridget : special . i know that they 're very special , and i know nick cares about her . but the way he cares about me is so different . the love that we share is more of a lifetime commitment kind of love . and so i just do n't feel insecure about it . there 's no room for insecurity there . and i do n't think there ever will be , mom . brooke : oh , honey . ( laughs ) i just want to see you happy . that 's all i 've ever wanted . bridget : mom , i think your dream has come true . brooke : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] katie : you may not understand this , donna , but sometimes there are greater things in life than just satisfying your own desires . donna : no , i get it . i get it . there are different kinds of love , katie , but -- katie : yeah , like my love for bridget and my love for nick and -- and -- and the way i love them as a couple . and -- and there 's a young child involved here . bridget thinks of jack as -- as her own . donna : you are thinking too much . what about you ? what about your feelings ? you ca n't be a spectator . life is not a spectator sport , katie . you have to be a participant . and if you really love bridget like you say you do , is she getting what she wants -- a man who 's -- who 's truly committed ? katie : yes . yes , she is because i 've talked to nick about this . we 're on the same page . we speak the same language . he says you have to chart your own course in life . and he has decided to chart his course with bridget . donna : and where are you gon na chart yours ? katie : i do n't know . i have n't figured that out yet . donna : no , i - i think we already know . katie : look , do i care about nick ? yes , of course i do . do i love him enough to want to see him with someone who makes him truly happy , who 's truly right for him ? donna : how can you say that bridget is -- is right for him ? katie : donna , let 's just for a minute pretend that i do what you 're suggesting , that i tell nick that i love him and that i want him and -- and i go after him . what then ? we 're not even sure that he would choose me . i 'm not sure of that . you ca n't be . and then what have i done ? i have destroyed this beautiful friendship that i have with bridget , someone i love and respect . i do n't want to live with regret . i do n't want to live with that kind of guilt . you do n't know how much nick truly loves her . i think they 're soul mates . what he and i shared was just -- it was just a moment in time . it was just a moment -- when we thought that i might not have too many more moments . and now i have to live my life as it was meant to be . donna : but you 're not giving him a choice . you 've made up your mind , and -- and that 's it . katie : that 's because there is no choice . we 're not going down that path . donna : you 're afraid of being hurt . katie : no . no , you 're wrong . i 'm not afraid of being hurt . i have been hurt . i have literally had my heart ripped from my chest . that 's not what this is about . this is about ... ( sighs ) i 'm afraid of hurting other people . i 'm afraid of becoming someone i do n't like . and that 's what would happen if i threw everything away and if i threw everything that was right and decent away and went after nick . and any happiness that i would gain from that would be tainted forever . katie : this is right . it 's not just right for bridget . it 's not just right for nick . it 's right for me , too . so i 'm gon na be happy . i 'm gon na be happy for my two friends . i 'm gon na be happy that they have found each other . now i 've listened to what you 've had to say , and i hope you 've listened to me because i do n't want to talk about this ever again . do n't bring this up to me ever again .	bridget calls the entire family together and tells them she is engaged and going to marry nick . both donna and brooke are worried about katie and her feelings for nick , but brooke says she is strong and she can handle this . however , she does confide her doubts in bridget and reminds her that she and katie are both living under the same roof . donna speaks with katie who is making all the wedding preparations . donna thinks it is a bad idea for katie to be maid of honor considering she is in love with nick . it 's one thing to be a martyr , but she should fight for her own self . nick and bridget have been married before , so it might not work out this time either . eric wants to give a big kick - off party tomorrow and design bridget 's wedding dress .
ridge : leaving forrester ? brooke , it does n't make any sense . brooke : ( sighs ) please , ridge . it 's what i have to do . do n't fight me on this . ridge : i have to fight you on this , because there 's something else going on here . brooke : can you just leave it alone ? i 'm doing what has to be done . ridge : and what has to be done , brooke ? i really want to know . brooke : ( sighs ) all right . all right , fine . i will tell you .

[ scene_break ] jackie : i 'll say it again . owen is committed to me and to our marriage . nick : well , why would n't he be committed to you ? why would n't he love you ? thanks to you , he 's rich , he 's famous , he 's respected , he has a career , a credit rating , and nobody can take any of those things from him . but he 's also committed to this kid , and that commitment is gon na grow just like his feelings for bridget are gon na grow . mother , come on , he 's a simple guy . he wants what he wants , and he finds out who has it , and he falls in love with them in order to get it . and bridget 's gon na need someone , too , which is why i told her to go for it . jackie : you what ? nick : mother , i realize that ... owen was `` it `` for you , you know , the man you were meant to be with , your last stop . but it 's his first stop . you took this kid , and you wiped his nose , and you knocked the little boy earwax out of his ears , and you dusted the sand off his surfer - dude butt , and you taught him how to live , how to talk , how to dress and how to love like a grown - up . but let 's get real here , mother . life 's just beginning for him , and the life he wants is connected to bridget and this baby and this ideal family that he has always dreamed of , and you better start facing that fact . jackie : okay . i can take you lashing out at me , because i know that you are in such pain . but i 'm not gon na have you diminish what owen and i share , not in any way . our love is real . our life together is real . and you may never accept it , but it does n't make it any less true . oh , and excuse me , as for your advice to bridget to go for it with my husband , well , the least said about that , the better . nick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] bridget : you want to know how i really feel ? owen : yeah , about telling people that i 'm really the baby 's father , you know , 'cause i assume you -- you have n't told anybody anything yet . bridget : oh . right . yeah , only my mother . i do n't have the nerve to tell my dad or the rest of the family yet . owen : 'cause you do n't think that they 'll understand ? bridget : i think that i am the last person anyone ever thought this would happen to . but -- owen : you 're dealing with it , all right ? you 're dealing with it the way that a strong woman like you would do . bridget : i do n't really feel so strong right now . i 've lost my husband . i lost our home , and my thoughts are ... you know , when a - a woman has a baby growing inside of her , everything she always thought she needed just become secondary . and the most important thing ...

stephanie : everyone 's waiting . shall we ... continue with the ceremony ? ridge : and pretend none of this happened ? like you did n't just tell me that this all a lie ? stephanie : well , the fact that ... they did n't have sex , i mean , that has no bearings on your feelings for taylor . let me get the reverend . ridge : do n't push me ! let me have a chance to think here .

( giggles ) eric : okay . donna : okay ? eric : all right . donna : good . [ scene_break ] brooke : everybody , could i say a few words please ? i just want to say that ever since bridget was little , she was always a person that you could count on . she was always loving and honest , loyal , compassionate . but perhaps her greatest gift of all is her ability to forgive . you are truly my beloved daughter , and you are such a remarkable person . it just fills my heart to know that you two have a second chance together . ( sighs ) and i wish you a lifetime of happiness . god bless you both . bridget : mom . brooke : ( laughs ) bridget : ( laughs ) brooke : baby , i love you . bridget : i love you . brooke : i love you , too . bridget : thank you . thank you all , actually , for coming , and i guess it 's my turn to say something . um , well , i 'm pretty sure everyone knows that this is n't the first time around for nick and me , although it feels like the first time because i was just younger then and did n't know that much about life . what i knew was that i loved you . i adored you , and that 's the part that has n't changed . what has changed , though , is that , um , i 'm a little older , hopefully , a little wiser , and i 've learned that , um , that true love , true , true love does n't limit us . it only opens up our heart and allows the people that we love to come inside and -- and live with us . that 's what i - i want to give you and your darling son . i - i want you to know that my heart is always gon na be open to both of you . you 've made me the happiest , happiest , happiest -- mm -- woman in the world . my god , i 'm so lucky ! i feel so loved with all of you here . nick : well , that 's a tough act to follow . thank you . thank you , both , very much . um , well , i guess a lot of you know our history , so i guess i 'll talk about our future . and i predict an amazing voyage , and i will do my best to make sure that it 's smooth sailing . because i , sailor that i am , have the most amazing compass in the world , and that 's this beautiful woman standing right in front of me . ( sighs ) i love you so much . and everybody 's got to say it today , so now i get a chance to say it . i am a very lucky man . thank you . woman : whoo ! katie : all right , i want to say something . nick : ( groans ) katie : i 'm -- i 'm maid of honor , so i have to say something . um ... ( laughs ) when -- when bridget asked me to be maid of honor , i was thrilled , because , uh , this has given me the opportunity to give something back to you , and you have given me so much . you brought me into your home when i really was n't willing to accept help from anyone . and you -- oh , i do n't know , brought me back from the brink of death ... ( laughs ) literally . and , um , i think , most importantly , um , you and nick gave me the will to live , and that 's the most remarkable gift i 've ever received . and now it 's time for the two of you to devote yourselves to each other . and i ca n't think of two people who deserve a lifetime of happiness more than you two do . so , everyone , please join me in wishing the best future for mr. and mrs. nick marone . beth : here , here . woman : here , here ! beth : ( laughs )	with the entire group around , donna gives a family speech at the forrester pool on the occasion of nick and bridget 's engagement . katie looks uncomfortable . donna announces this is another special day as it is marcus ' birthday , the first one they have shared . felicia finds stephanie in bed in the middle of the afternoon and questions why . stephanie quips if she wants to have the vapors that she thinks it 's within her rights . she still has n't made that big adjustment without eric yet . and she does n't cook or have much of an appetite , she does take - out . she loves felicia for caring , but just needs some solitude . eric greets beth while stephen casts them the evil eye . marcus states it will be cool having beth and stephen as his grandparents . pam is lurking in the shadows . also owen surmises so this is how the rich and famous live in their natural habitat .

[ scene_break ] jackie : ( scoffs ) please , do n't look so grim . bridget : would you please listen to me ? what happened that night -- i was out of my mind . jackie : i know . nicky is wrong . i - i just wanted you both to be aware of how he 's feeling . i mean , telling me that my marriage is a joke ? well , it 's just his way of coping . owen : yeah , and he was finally starting to just accept me . jackie : well , maybe he will again . well , he could . ( sighs ) he 's just so hurt at the moment . but deep down , he knows how much i love you . owen : look , no , my love for you is what he 's questioning . jackie : ( laughs ) well , then just let him question it . because once the baby 's born , he 'll see . he 'll see how you can love the baby as a father and me as a husband . he 'll see how committed we are . [ scene_break ] oliver : i 'm almost afraid to ask what you 've decided . hope : ( sighs ) i have given this a lot of thought . i know you think that this is the best thing for me , even though i have a little trouble seeing it that way . oliver : hope , please try and understand -- hope : no , no . please let me finish . ( sighs ) you 've made it very clear that you think this is what i should do .

( chuckles ) but i get why he thinks it . i mean , it was my immediate reaction , too . bridget is beautiful . and she 's young . and she 's giving you a child . and , my god , what woman would n't be intimidated ? owen : yeah , but you are not just any woman . jackie : and i 'm secure enough not to be bothered by such nonsense . and you ... you 're too passionate a man to give up what we have and enter into a loveless marriage , and you 're far too smart to think that it would last . nicky 's just being foolish , that 's all . i actually did laugh when he said you were going to leave me for her . i mean , no offense to bridget , but it 's ridiculous . owen : mm . [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) you know -- you know , i always pictured myself going away to college . but then ... then you came into my life , and with everything that was happening at forrester , i just ... i do n't know . i guess i just allowed myself to think that it did n't matter . oliver : but it does . and all the new exciting experiences you 'll have -- it 'll be fun . hope : thanks to you . you made me see .

( sighs ) you 've already made the commitment . marcus : ( sighs ) look , i do want to marry dayzee , okay ? i just want to hold off on the actual wedding part . that 's all . i mean , what 's wrong with that , tom ? thomas : you know dayzee and i , we used to have a thing , right ? marcus : yes , thomas , i do , 'cause you like to throw that in my face , do n't you ? and you 're seriously committed to caroline now . thomas : true . i am . but dayzee is one of the most amazing women i have ever met . marcus : i know , tom , okay ? i feel you . thomas : then what are you waiting for , man ? this is nuts . if i were you , i would put that ring on her finger as fast as i could . marcus : ( sighs ) thomas : look , marcus , dayzee is incredible . think about all she 's accomplished , and not to mention , she is really hot . marcus : thomas . thomas : i 'm just saying , okay ? dayzee loves you . and you feel the same way . so just do it , man . do n't wait . marcus : man ... ( sighs ) this family sure does have a way of telling people when to marry and who , i 'll tell you that . thomas : ( sighs ) ( cell phone vibrates ) marcus : oh . hey , look , man , i 'm late for a meeting , all right , so i 'm gon na catch you later . thomas : all right , man . marcus : yeah , see ya . ( sighs ) dayzee : so , um , you think i 'm hot , huh ? thomas : that ca n't come as any surprise . [ scene_break ] katie : you always seem to be in the right place at the right time when it comes to liam . thi -- this little window opens up , and you just dive right through it . steffy : look , katie , i 'm being real here . i wo n't interfere in hope and liam 's marriage . katie : you have vowed time and time again to never give up on him . steffy : oh , come on . he 's married to her . they made a commitment . i do n't want to hurt hope . and that is why we should keep this quiet . just let it go , okay , katie ? tell brooke to let it go . it 's best for everyone . [ scene_break ] brooke : you were making out with steffy on your wedding day . you ca n't start your marriage with such huge secret . liam : ( sighs ) oh , damn it . i wish you did n't find out . how the -- how the hell did that happen ? brooke : you left something at my house . it had all the italian photos on it . and i was looking at it . and there was a video , an accidental video , of you and steffy . liam : what ? brooke : apparently , it had recorded everything that was going on between the two of you in the hotel room . liam : ohh . man , it must have turned on when i threw it across the room . ( sighs ) brooke : well , the battery ran out , so i do n't know if you and steffy made love . liam : we did n't . we did not . who else knows about this ? brooke : katie . she was there when was watching it . liam : oh , good . great . brooke : i can not keep a secret from hope . liam : brooke , you have to understand , i thought hope left me . brooke : just tell me this . when hope came to tell you everything about what happened , where was steffy ? liam : she was in the bathroom . she heard everything . brooke : and what about when hope left ? liam : what -- what do you mean ? we were shocked . brooke : you must still really care for her . i mean , first you tore up the annulment papers , and then you turned to her on your wedding day . liam : ( sighs ) brooke : i have to wonder . liam : brooke , do you seriously doubt my love for hope ? do -- do you not get that she is the most important person in my life ? brooke : all i know is that openness and transparency is the most important thing in a marriage . liam : ( sighs ) brooke : lies and secrecy -- it 's poison . liam , you have to tell hope what happened . she is strong . she will understand . there is no other way . you can not begin your marriage with a lie . liam : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] dayzee : i , um , forgot this . thomas : look , i 'm sorry ... marcus is taking his time getting to the altar . it 's -- it 's a guy thing . dayzee : yeah . did you really mean everything that you said ? i could n't help overhearing . ( chuckles ) thomas : ( chuckles ) yes . dayzee the time we spent together , it was -- it was great , some of the best moments i 've ever had . dayzee : yeah , it was . you introduced me to a whole new lifestyle , that 's for sure . i do n't know . it was all so overwhelming at that time . i just was n't ready to be serious . thomas : yeah , i remember . you just needed some time to settle into your new life . dayzee : you know , i did n't want to let go of the old one . thomas : you 're still the same generous , compassionate person . dayzee : ( chuckles ) thomas : come on . every day off work , volunteering at the shelter . look , i see you at dayzee 's , making sure anyone who comes in hungry gets fed , just listening to people telling their stories , always giving them a smile or helping them find a place to sleep at night . you 're awesome , dayzee . you 're strong , kind , and a knockout . dayzee : ( laughs ) thomas : ( laughs ) dayzee : you 're not so bad yourself . thomas : thank you . dayzee : you 're welcome . and thank you for all the sweet stuff you said , thomas , really . thomas : i mean it . dayzee : i know . you 're a really terrific guy . thomas : come here . dayzee : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] hope : hey where 's my mom ? liam : she left . hope : probably for the best . she was on a mission , huh ? liam : yeah . hope : i 'm sorry . i did n't know she would be so hard on you . do n't let it get to you , though . come here . liam : ( chuckles ) no , she 's just a mom worried about her daughter . that 's all . hope : i know she is but she does n't need to be . but you know what ? we do n't have to talk about that right now , okay ? this is our first night in our home as husband and wife . let 's enjoy it . liam : we sure went through a lot to get here , did n't we ? hope : mm - hmm . and it was all so worth it . hope : hey , you remember what i said in italy about not wanting to look back ? you know , that -- that everything that happened before we said our vows should be forgotten ? i meant that . totally . the past is the past . i just want to focus on -- on right now . life is so good , and i have everything that i 've ever wanted , and i am so happy with you . mmm . even more than i ever could have imagined . [ scene_break ] steffy : ( sighs ) oh , great . i can guess why you 're here . katie just left . i know what you saw . brooke : i was just with hope and liam . steffy : please do n't tell me you said anything to hope . brooke : why are you so concerned , if you were alone in liam 's hotel room the morning he got married ? steffy : he thought that she left him . brooke : look , i know about the misunderstanding with the letter . that is no excuse . steffy : no , it 's not . brooke : and i told liam i was very disappointed that he believed hope would give up on him so quickly . and i ca n't believe you think the same . steffy : well , she 's done it before , brooke . brooke : i thought you were progressing . steffy : ( sighs ) brooke : i thought you were accepting hope and liam 's marriage , that 's why you went to italy , to support them . but i guess i 'm wrong . i assumed you 'd given up your rivalry with hope . and i was hoping that was the case . i did n't want you to experience what i experienced with your mother all of those years . but when i saw liam dressed for the wedding and you in his hotel room kissing passionately -- steffy : we did n't make love . brooke : still . steffy : it was a mistake , brooke . brooke : it was a huge mistake , one that could cost my daughter her happiness . steffy : not if she does n't find out . brooke : she 's going to find out . i was gon na tell her , and then liam stopped me . steffy : hope does n't need to know about this . brooke : yes , she does . i will now allow her marriage to be based on a lie . steffy : if you insist on telling hope , she might not be able to handle it . brooke : i 'm not telling her . liam is . steffy : he is ? brooke : i told him to do it . steffy : well , i think that 's a bad decision . brooke : well , that 's none of your business anymore , is it ? this is between hope and liam . he 's going to tell her . she 's going to understand , and she will forgive him . stay away from him . he is married to my daughter now . move on with your life .	hope questions brooke and liam . what were they arguing about , it looks so intense . she wishes someone would say something ; it is freaking her out . she tells liam this is her home now too ; she does not want to start things out this way . brooke speaks up and says of course she is right ; she has every right to know . brooke goes back over some old stuff like about the letter that liam thought was from hope when it really was deacon . hope says they are past that now so brooke does n't have to worry about their feelings . when alone , liam tells brooke that hope is so happy . he does not want her to make him tell hope any more and ruin that happiness . stephanie gives marcus the third degree of why he is dragging his cold feet and not marrying dayzee . he assures her that he loves her more than ever , but he just thinks there is reason to wait and not rush things . dayzee wants to know if that means to wait for a year or even two . he promises he will not change his mind but thinks they should just slow down and take their time . thomas chimes in on the conversation and says he too does n't understand why the wait . stephanie grabs the wedding books and says they are going to continue as she thinks the wedding will happen sooner rather than later . katie grills steffy about the video . steffy says it was left on by mistake ; they had no idea . katie and brooke can not say anything to anyone , it would crush hope . katie tells steffy that it 's uncanny . there always seems to be a window of opportunity when it comes to liam and she just opens it and dives through .
bill : katie , forgive me . do n't ask me to be without my family . i ca n't do it . i made a mistake . look , granted , it was a big mistake , and you have every right to be upset . but i was upset , too , when you took your ring off and stormed out . katie : forcing you to sleep with my sister , because there was no other option . [ chuckles ] i 'm sorry , but i think there 's something fundamentally wrong with our relationship . bill : and i 'll do whatever it takes to prove that is n't true . katie : i do n't know how much longer i have on this earth , whether it 's one year or 50 , but i do n't want to waste a single second being your doormat . i 'm sorry . i ca n't do this anymore . [ scene_break ] brooke : thank you , both . i - i know it 's hard to understand , but i really appreciate your forgiveness . i think i 've lost katie . i 'm not sure she 'll ... i just -- if you had given up on me , too , i do n't know -- rick : never , mom . never . hope : we may not understand why you do ... certain things , but we 'll be here to support you , just like you 've always done for us . logans stick together . [ scene_break ] liam : [ sighs ] thank you . carter : you 're welcome . i 've been meaning to get in touch with you , liam . liam : yeah . carter : i was really sorry to hear about your loss . liam : thank you . carter : i 've officiated quite a few ceremonies now , and one or two , i could tell were n't lasting past the honeymoon , but ... you and steffy , man -- it really surprises me . liam : me , too . something just does n't add up . [ scene_break ] liam : i mean , it was so sudden , carter . i 'm telling you , it was like a switch went off . carter : you know , a miscarriage can mess with a woman . liam : no , i understand that . i do . but this ... was so much deeper . i mean , she wanted to try again , like , right away , and then , all of a sudden , she 's packing her bags , she 's moving to paris . i do n't -- i do n't get it . and i think there 's something more going on . [ scene_break ] hope : you 've always been there for us . it goes both ways . brooke : i appreciate it . hope : well , i ca n't stay mad at you . i mean , who am i gon na turn to when i 'm in a crisis ? brooke : yeah , i 'm usually the one responsible ... hope : [ laughs ] brooke : ... trying to push you and liam together . i 'm gon na stay out of it . hope : oh , thank you . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] rick : hey . who was that guy i saw you talking to at the fourth of july party ? you know , the , uh -- the not - liam guy ? hope : ah . [ chuckles ] my mystery man ? brooke : the naked guy ? rick : what ? who ? hope : [ chuckling ] oh , rick . you have so much to catch up on . [ scene_break ] bill : you do n't want this , katie . katie : i do n't have a choice . bill : and will ? katie : i do n't want to keep you from your son . you 'll have scheduled visitation . bill : katie , we owe it to our son to do everything we can to work through this . katie : my son is going to know that your behavior is not okay . you ca n't treat your wife like this . you did what you wanted to do . you wanted brooke , so you took her . you did n't have any respect for me . you did n't have any respect for our marriage . and you 're right , bill . actions do have consequences . and our son is gon na see that . and someday , when he marries , he 'll know what to do differently , and he will be a better man than you . bill : teaching him to run is not the answer . showing him that couples work through these kinds of -- katie : teach him whatever you want every other weekend . that will be your time with him . i want a divorce . [ scene_break ] liam : i mean , you should have seen it , carter . all she kept saying was , `` you should be with hope . `` carter : do you want that ? liam : i ... carter : okay , okay . so , steffy 's gone , right ? telling you to be with hope . now , that 's something you want , but you 're stopping yourself . liam : yeah , it 's crazy , is n't it ? i just -- i need more answers , you know ? maybe if -- maybe if i can understand why she 's walking away from this marriage , then i 'll be able to walk away from it , too . [ scene_break ] rick : so , this wyatt guy wakes you up with a kiss , you drop your phone in the woods , and now he 's suddenly snuggling up with you and watching fireworks on the fourth of july ? hope : um , well , not exactly . brooke : i do n't understand . what happened with liam ? hope : i want a life with liam . i do , but ... i mean , not if he 's going to be constantly thinking about steffy , wondering what went wrong and why . i mean , i think i deserve better than that . and i - i 'm not gon na settle for what liam currently has to offer . rick : good for you . brooke : i 'm proud of you . i just hope he 'll come through and prove to you that he can be what you need . hope : i hope so , too . but he has things that he needs to work through , and i 'm not waiting indefinitely . i have options . [ scene_break ] bill : you expect me to just accept this ? katie : i do n't want this , bill . i 've never wanted this . i thought that i would be the one person in my family that would make marriage work . that 's why i waited so long -- because i had to be sure that i could trust a man . because i saw what it did to my mother when my father left . and i swore -- i swore that i would never turn out like her . i would find a man who was worthy of me or not get married at all . bill : so , instead , you 've turned into your father -- running , afraid to commit . katie : you know , your logic is amazing . you cheat on me with my sister , and somehow it 's my fault . [ scoffs ] i have always been committed to you , bill . bill : then why did you push me into her arms ? katie : your actions are your actions . you 're responsible for them , not me . bill : and you are responsible for yours , katie . i did sleep with brooke . i made that choice ... because of the extraordinary circumstances that you , katie -- that you created . katie : i was sick ! bill : and i understood that . i forgave you . i took care of our son while you could n't with brooke by my side . i did n't succumb to your plan -- your plan . i stayed true to you . katie : until you just could n't resist . bill : you walked out on me , yet again . i mean , do you honestly believe that i would have slept with brooke if you had n't done that ? you want to walk out of our marriage because of your own insecurities about yourself and about our marriage , then fine . then you do that . but do n't make this about me , like i am some horrible guy running around on his wife , because it never would have happened . i would n't have been with brooke if you had n't have said that you were done with me . katie : well , i am now , so ... bill : katie , stop it . you do n't have to do this . katie : how long did it take , huh ? how long ? w - was i even out of the house before you had her clothes off ? do you have any idea what that does to me ? bill : i put up with a lot in our marriage -- the countless times you walked out on me , abandoning our son . and when you asked for forgiveness , i gave it to you . and now it 's my turn , and i 'm asking , and what do i get from you ? nothing . what i get from you is `` i want a divorce . `` katie : i do n't think i 'm the only one around here with selective amnesia . i 've put up with an awful lot , too , bill . i 've forgiven an awful lot . but not this . not this . [ sniffles ] not my sister . not -- not a pregnancy , a baby . i ... it 's too much . it 's too much . i ca n't . bill : but you want to . i can tell . katie : [ sniffles ] bill : you do n't want a divorce . you wo n't give up on us . [ scene_break ] brooke : heading to the office ? rick : yeah . i 've got some things to take care of . are you okay ? brooke : no . but i will be , thanks to both of you . rick : maybe you should go running in the woods . i hear there 's naked guys handing out kisses , making troubles go away . hope : ha ha ha . oh , i totally forgot to tell you guys . wyatt has the same sword necklace that liam has . i guess i attract a certain kind of guy . rick : weird . brooke : [ chuckles ] hope : i mean , it 's not a spencer sword , obviously , but , i do n't know , i guess maybe bill 's a trendsetter ? rick : forget it . the guy sounds like a loser . bye . brooke : bye , honey . thanks , again . that is kind of weird . i mean , bill is so proud of his necklace . he 'd be shocked to find out that there 's a knock - off out there . [ cell phone rings ] brooke : hello ? bill : meet me at my office . i need to see you . brooke : i 'll be right there . i 've got to go , honey . hope : okay . brooke : i 'm glad to see that you 're standing up for yourself . and even though i want you to be with liam , what 's most important is that you do what 's right for you . hope : thank you . brooke : i 'm sorry . hope : no , mom . it 's -- it 's okay , really . i forgive you . brooke : okay . hope : okay . love you . brooke : love you , sweetie . oh . liam : hi . um ... may i ... ? hope : yeah , you can come in . it 's fine . brooke : [ chuckles ] [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] katie : thank you , eila . um ... uh , you got it done really fast . eila : well , you said , `` move fast . `` katie : yes . eila : look it over . let me know if i missed anything . it 's just as we discussed -- you 'll keep the house , have custody of your son . he may fight you on visitation only every other weekend . the monthly child support is more than fair . i have to imagine his lawyer will advise him of that . ( flashback ) bill : and when you asked for forgiveness , i gave it to you . ( present time ) eila : a guy like bill spencer ? i would n't be surprised if he has a few bank accounts you 're unaware of . katie : it 's , uh -- it 's not about the money . eila : i know . just want to make sure you 're getting what you 're entitled to . ( flashback ) bill : you do n't want a divorce . you wo n't give up on us . ( present time ) eila : does everything look in order ? just need your signature . katie ? [ scene_break ] brooke : hi . bill : thanks for coming . brooke : tell me you have good news . bill : katie wants a divorce . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : i 've got to convince her this is n't the end of our marriage . she 's talking custody and visitation -- all the things i swore that i ... it 's not happening . i 'm a husband , i 'm a father , and i wo n't lose that . i ca n't . brooke : i know . [ scene_break ] liam : [ sighs ] so ... the other night ended a little weird . hope : did it ? liam : [ chuckles ] i want to be a man you deserve . hope : i 'm not stopping you . liam : i know . i was communicating with steffy when i could have been with you . i get why that 's not okay with you , and i do n't blame you for wanting more . but i do n't know what 's going on with my marriage right now , and until i get answers to my questions , i ca n't move on . hope : i hope you do n't think that i 'm just being selfish . liam : no . are you kidding ? you 're standing up for yourself . how can i not respect that ? hope : okay . liam , i want this to work . i want us to start over , but i - i know that we ca n't just go back to the beginning . [ sighs ] you 're still wearing your ring . i know you 're legally tied to her . liam : hey . i love you , you know ? i hope you feel that . hope : liam , i want to be able to put my arms around you and lie in your bed and be your wife . i 'm ready . but you 're not . so , what do we do ? [ scene_break ] katie : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] bill : i know katie 's hurting . but i wo n't let her give up on us . and i know you wo n't either , brooke . you 've always been there for me . [ intercom buzzes ] bill : yeah ? [ sighs ] send her in . attorney . eila : bill spencer ? bill : i was when i woke up this morning . eila : nice to meet you . my name 's eila -- bill : yeah , whatever . you 're the attorney representing my wife . how much am i paying you per hour ? eila : you can afford it . i just came from seeing katie . she 's made a decision . bill : katie 's done it . she 's filed for divorce .	bill tells katie that he does n't want to move out . do n't ask him to do that to his family . he made a mistake ; a very big mistake and she has every right to be upset . but , he was upset too when she took her rings off and stormed off . she adds and it forced him to sleep with her sister as there was no other option . she scoffs that there is something fundamentally wrong with their relationship . she tells bill that she does n't know if she has five years or fifty years on this planet , but she does know that she does n't want to waste a single second being his doormat . she 's sorry but she ca n't do this anymore . and she 's going to see that her son knows that it is not okay to act like his dad . he will be a better man than his dad . he wo n't treat his wife like that . there are consequences to bill 's actions . he wanted brooke so he took her . he had no respect then for katie or their marriage . she wants a divorce . and he will have scheduled visitations with their son . she will not have a marriage like her mother and father . she waited for a long time and thought she was the one logan who could have a happy marriage or not get married at all . he ca n't understand why she pushed him into brooke 's arms . he says he forgave her for that because she was sick . but he stayed true to her but she walked out on him yet again when she took off her rings . she is acting like her dad now by running away and not wanting to commit . she laughs again that it is amazing his logic . he cheats on her with her sister and yet it is katie 's fault . he says do not make this about him , some horrible guy running around on his wife . he tells her that he has put up with an awful lot in this marriage too . so if she wants to admit to her own insecurities that failed in this marriage , fine , but do not blame him . he never would have slept with brooke if katie had not said she was done with him ( but you could have waited maybe another five minutes ) . he reminds her that she asked him countless times to forgive her and he gladly gave it to her , but now it is his turn and what does he get in return nothing ! katie says she too has put up with an awful lot and forgiven him , but not this . a baby and a pregnancy , that is too much . even with her crying he says she does not want this divorce and he does n't believe she will give up on them .
nicole : i think back to when i first came here , and my attitude towards you was just uncalled for . i get embarrassed about it . maya : why ? nicole : well , i was so selfish about everything . i had this piece of information on you that i could use , so i did , like all of the pain that you want through was some type of bargaining chip . and i 'm really sorry about that . maya : i appreciate that , but i do n't blame you . you did n't know . nicole : i did n't think . i was so caught up in my own stuff , how abandoned i felt , but i never stopped to consider what it took for you to claim your true identity -- without any support , going against our parents , leaving everything you knew . maya : i could n't wait to get out of that home , the constant disapproval . nicole : [ chuckles ] i 'm not going back either . i do n't care what mom says . maya : i think she got that loud and clear . [ scene_break ] waitress : what can i get for you ? vivienne : some green tea for now . waitress : okay . vivienne : oh . [ chuckles ] i thought i 'd be waiting longer . julius : i willed that plane through the sky . vivienne : [ laughs ] julius : this nonsense stops today . nicole will not spend one more night under maya 's influence . [ scene_break ] ivy : you know , i have to admit -- it 's a little unnerving the amount of time that liam and steffy can legitimately spend alone together behind closed doors . katie : i understand why that would concern you . ivy : thanks . katie : [ sighs ] i just want you to be realistic about the situation . i mean , when steffy lasers in on something that she wants , she does n't give up . trust me . look at the situation when liam was with hope . i mean , she certainly did n't let up then . ivy : why is he so vulnerable to her ? katie : because she pushes people 's buttons , and she 's been pushing liam 's buttons for a very long time . i just want you to be careful . she has a way of pulling you into the mud , and you either choose to fight like that or you choose to move on . and if you choose to move on , then wyatt 's not a bad place to land . [ scene_break ] steffy : did you come here with something work related ? because we 're kind of busy . wyatt : i can see that . liam : there it is . there 's that tone . something on your mind , buddy ? wyatt : i was reminding you of what an exceptional woman ivy is , and it 's kind of concerning to me that i even need to remind you . so , i ask you again -- are you or are you not stringing ivy along ? liam : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] nicole : dad must have been furious when mom came home without me . maya : i do n't even want to think about it . my very existence offends him . that 's why he does n't want you here -- my evil influence . nicole : it just blows me away how they can judge without knowing . i mean , neither mom or dad have reached out to you to try and see who you really are . i just do n't understand how she could touch you with so much love and then walk away like that . maya : people fear what they do n't know . but at least she did touch me . i mean , maybe it 's her way of inching toward accepting me . [ scene_break ] vivienne : i love maya , but i do n't know how to be around her , how to wrap my brain around what she expects me to understand . julius : [ scoffs ] how could you ? it 's unnatural . i do n't want the one child we have left to be around that . she 's an innocent . i wo n't have her corrupted . vivienne : well , nicole does n't seem that different since she 's been around maya . julius : she defied you . does that sound like our baby girl ? we 're getting nicole out of here today . [ scene_break ] katie : wyatt 's a good guy . ivy : he is , and he comes across all sarcastic and cocky , but ... there 's a warmth to him . you know , it 's like -- it 's empathy . it 's like he understands exactly how i 'm feeling without me really having to say it . katie : that 's a pretty rare quality , i mean , especially in a man . that 's attractive . ivy : yeah , he 's been a really good friend , actually . you know , hope was crazy to let him go . katie : hmm . ivy : although , she let go of liam , as well . let 's just hope steffy follows suit . katie : yeah , let 's . but she tends to be a bit ... tenacious . ivy : i mean , liam and i do n't share what he shares with steffy , obviously , but i 'm important , too . katie : [ sighs ] ivy : i do n't want to be replaced so easily .
