( sighs ) okay , look i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to get you involved with this . i 'm really probably not the most stable guy to be hanging out with right now . aggie : i was n't exactly the poster child for stability before i met you . nick : ( laughs ) match made in heaven . aggie : or the lunatic asylum . nick : ( chuckles ) aggie : look , you have a lot of things going on right now . i - i do n't want to be another headache . nick : aggie ? aggie : what ? nick : you 're off the hook , okay ? aggie : what do you mean i 'm off the hook ? nick : oh , you 're off the hook . you do n't have to- i - i do n't want to bring you into this drama and get you involved in all of this , so no . aggie : that 's not what i was talking about at all . nick : w - well , then what are you getting at with this ? aggie : i 'm just -- okay , this relationship -- friendship between us ... nick : mm - hmm . aggie : you know what it means to me , a woman who has n't been touched in five years , you know , letting somebody into her life , into her heart . i imagine that that could seem a little bit daunting for you . i mean , it would be for me . nick : never occurred to me . aggie : ( chuckles ) you 're a good man , nick . you 've had a lot of disappointment recently , a lot more than you deserve . i do n't ... i do n't want to be another one of your mistakes . nick : well , i have made a lot of mistakes ... but you 're not one of them . [ scene_break ] steffy : well , that 's all i know . i thought you and ed would have come up with some answers . i did n't do anything with that tribute . it was n't me . liam : i know it was n't . steffy : you say that with so much certainty . liam : that 's because i am certain . steffy : h - how do you kn -- you -- you do n't know me . you do n't know if i 'm lying . liam : steffy , can you get past this ? steffy : ( sighs ) yeah , i 'd like to . i would love to put this behind me .

[ scene_break ] bridget : you two are exceptional . jackie : ( chuckles ) and you , my darling girl , are a godsend . bridget : oh , i find that hard to believe . jackie : as unlikely as it seems , what i have with my husband is very close to a perfect marriage except for one thing . he always wanted a child , the one thing that i could n't give him . and you are . bridget : and this works for you ? jackie : i 've got everything now -- the man i love whose dream has come true and a beautiful daughter - in - law . bridget : ( laughs ) i love you , jackie , but i 'm not your daughter - in - law anymore . it breaks my heart , because nick was excited about this baby . i 'm just so sorry that i hurt him . jackie : i had hoped that he could accept this child , that he could be a father . and i hate it , too , that he is hurting , but we ca n't change the situation , and we ca n't change how nick feels . bridget : ( sighs ) jackie : so raising this child , bridget , it 's up to the three of us now . bridget : and you 're okay with this ? owen : look , you 're breaking the rules , and i am okay with it . look , i got a fantastic wife . my -- my baby 's got a beautiful mother . i 'm a lucky guy , very lucky . jackie : how about you ? does it work for you ? bridget : ( chuckles ) i 'm the one that 's alone and pregnant here , but i feel like i 'm surrounded by so much love , concern . not just for me , but for my baby . yes , my husband is gone . it breaks my heart . but it should be so much worse . jackie , after what i 've done to you ... i -- but really , listen to me . you have accepted me as -- as a daughter . and you 've let my child and me be a part of your family , and i ca n't ... i ca n't thank you enough . jackie : oh .

( laughs ) owen : perfect . jackie : and so we 're going to live , family of three , soon to be four ... owen : ( chuckles ) jackie : happily ever ... after . | from the look on their faces , bridget realizes there is something going on between aggie and nick . aggie finally explains by trying to justify they both needed someone to comfort them so it was sort of like when bridget turned to owen . nick says they are all in their own pain . bridget says so much for her coming here for a reconciliation . she wo n't bother him again . aggie tells nick that she is sorry , and asks if there is anything she can do for him . owen and jackie show a dejected bridget the new baby bed that just arrived . she tells them her bad mood is from the fact that nick has moved on with his life with someone new . steffy holds papers and taylor explains that now she has everything to show that she has control of the 25 % of forrester stocks . steffy still can not get over the fact that ridge thinks she is a liar , and she wants to prove she is not . but he also wants her to change his attitude toward brooke and she ca n't accept brooke like that . she wants to regain her father 's trust . it is the only thing that means anything to her . |

[ laughs ] zende : she 's half avant , half forrester , which means she half - crazy . maya : [ laughing ] so true . that 's so true . no , i mean , honestly , the best that rick and i can do is just to raise her to be who she is and to stand up for what 's right . zende : yeah , well , you know what ? i 'm glad you 're all right . maya : mm . i 'm a little hungover , but , uh , you know , i 'll live . zende : are you sure you do n't want me to tell nicole and rick what happened ? maya : no , i do n't want them to worry . i do n't want to worry , either . zende : then i 'll honor that . as far as me worrying ... i 'm gon na do that whether you like it or not , okay ? maya : [ laughs ] okay . zende : get some rest . maya : pillow . zende : everybody all right ? wyatt : yeah . yeah . that was quick . you get any sleep , or ... ? zende : no , i just , uh , got a pillow . hopefully maya is . i 'm still feeling the effects from last night . rick : well , thank you again for taking her out and keeping an eye on her . zende : yeah , no , we had a great time . we should have probably turned it in a little sooner , but , you know . nicole : aww , come here , sweet thing . take a nap . rest your head . katie : so , is , um ... is maya okay ? i mean , she seemed a little shaky . zende : uh , no , she 's , uh -- she 's a tough girl . she 'll be just fine . charlie : eric 's with quinn ? sheila : yes . charlie : what does that mean ? i mean , does that mean he forgives her ? he 's letting her off the hook ? sheila : i would like to assume that it means he 's telling her he wants a divorce , and hopefully , that 's happening right now . quinn : i 've been so worried about you , eric . wondering where you are . how you are . it 's -- it was so hard not to hear from you . but i understand . i mean , i - i hurt you , and -- and you needed some time alone . i spoke to ... i spoke to ridge . he said that he saw you and that sheila 's been hanging around . eric : i do n't want to talk about her . quinn : no , i -- i do n't want to talk about her , either . i just -- i want to talk about us . i betrayed our marriage . i betrayed our vows . i betrayed your faith in me . i ca n't tell you how much i regret that . i would do anything if i could take that back . i also know that i -- i ca n't change the past . all i can be is the wife that you deserve to have from this moment forward . look , i know -- i know that we have a lot of issues to work through . we have worked through so much in the past , and i know -- i know that we can overcome this , and i -- i believe you do , too . i mean , that 's why you came back home . to me . because you want to fight for our marriage as much as i -- as much as i do . eric , please , just say something . eric : how can i stay married to you ? how can i ever trust you again ? you betrayed me with my own son . quinn : i -- i 'm so sorry . eric : i want you and ridge off the property . quinn : ridge already moved out . i -- eric : no , quinn , you 're not listening to me . i want you gone . i want a divorce . quinn : no ! eric : i 've started the proceedings already . quinn : no , eric , wait ! no , no , no ! please ! not a divorce . please , i made a mistake , and i am so sorry , but i will do anything ! i 'll -- i 'll go to counseling . i 'll give you -- i 'll give you your space . as much as you need . please , just sit down and -- and talk to me ! eric : there 's nothing to talk about . it 's over , quinn ! it 's over ! quinn : eric , no ! no ! you can not mean it ! not a divorce ! we can work this out ! please ! eric , i am begging you ! you have to give me another chance ! please ! | quinn paces the floor but it is only ridge that comes through the door . he thought he would catch her at work but she says she is not leaving until eric comes home . they need to communicate if they are to have any chance . sheila catches eric packing and he says it is time that he goes home . he quickly calls quinn and asks if she is home ; good as he plans to come see her . she is ecstatic . ridge tells her to pull herself together and keep her chin up . she wonders if eric is going to forgive her . ridge says he should not be here when eric gets home so he will see her later . bill and brooke take the jet but everyone else but sally and thomas are on a commercial jet and speaking about the night before . nicole tells maya and zende it must have been quite a night as they got in late . katie remembers seeing maya with her hand on zende 's face as she kissed his cheek and hugged him . sheila says wait ; there is something she wants to tell eric before he goes . she tells him that he has always been honest with her so she wants to do the same . there are some betrayals you can not forgive and he will never be able to trust quinn again . he needs to leave her . |
ridge : i 'm so proud of you . steffy : i 'm proud of myself . ridge : you got to understand . the thought of you and spencer just makes me ... ugh . but now you 're gon na focus on you and the baby . that 's perfect . steffy : let 's not forget about the company . ridge : the company ? of course . how could i forget about that ? ridge : your grandmother , she 's smiling down on you . and getting those shares back from bill , i mean ... steffy : liam . hi . liam : wait , he gave you his forrester shares ? that 's a hell of a wedding gift . steffy : certainly would have been , yeah . but that 's not the case . liam : what ? ridge : i 'm gon na let you two talk . come here . i love you . steffy : love you . ridge : i 'm a very proud papa . liam : what is she -- where -- where is he -- what are you -- you -- you didn't ... steffy : no . i didn't . i did n't marry your father , liam . liam : [ laughs ] brooke : i honestly thought steffy had done it . hope : well , thank god she didn't . i mean , i 'm happy for her . even if ... brooke : it would have been easier on you if she had . hope : maybe . [ door opens ] brooke : i just wonder how liam will react . ridge : we 'll find out soon enough . she 's telling him now . thorne : wow . comments are still coming in about her . xander : about who ? thorne : your ex . xander : what ? thorne : yeah . zoe 's got fans . xander : uh , so is this , like , normal , or ... ? thorne : well , people always gossip about the models after the show , but the buzz on zoe 's gone on a lot longer than usual . almost makes me think that we should have ... xander : should what ? thorne : never mind . listen , about those posts she made . so you do n't think she 's dangerous ? xander : no . no . i mean , there 's an intensity about her . no doubt . but , deep down , she 's a good person . thorne : okay . emma : hey . i 'm back . you have n't even made a dent . thorne : oh , i think i 've been distracting him . i 'll leave you to it . xander : yeah . emma : you okay ? xander : yeah . emma : something on your mind ? xander : nothing 's on my mind . except this . emma : i like your mind . but this kind of thinking is n't gon na help us get our work done . [ chuckles ] xander : somebody 's in a good mood . emma : sure . why not ? dream job , dream co - workers . and , best of all , your possessive ex - girlfriend is on her way back to the other side of the pond . life is good . [ knocks on door ] zoe : change your mind ? so you do n't want me to go ... oh , i thought you were someone else . thorne : not sure if you remember me , but i 'm thorne -- zoe : thorne forrester . of course . thorne : thank you . zoe : you wanted me to leave just like the rest of them . at least i 'll remember my moment on the runway . all the applause ... thorne : oh , so you 're actually leaving . zoe : yeah , well , london 's calling . thorne : well , so is forrester . any chance i can convince you to stay ? brooke : steffy 's telling liam ? ridge : yeah , i suppose so . he just got here . hope : well , good . i 'm sure he 'll be relieved . ridge : definitely . the thought of steffy marrying his dad is sickening . to all of us . so he must have the biggest smile on his face right now . liam : you -- [ laughs ] you really did n't ? steffy : see ? no necklace . and the only ring i 'm wearing is the one you gave me . for a brief moment , i thought a life with bill was my best option . our daughter 's best option . but i could n't do it . i 'll never feel the way i ... the way a wife should feel for her husband . liam : [ laughs ] you have no idea how happy this makes me . steffy : i 'm ready to move on , put the pain behind me , and start living my life again . alone . emma : i should n't have mentioned her . xander : who ? emma : you get this foggy look when i talk about zoe . like i 'm losing you to some distant place . i do n't want to do that to you , bring up bad memories . xander : it 's okay . emma : but totally unnecessary . now that she 's out of our lives , there 's no reason to talk about her . she 's on her way back to london , right ? xander : i 'm guessing we 'll never see zoe again . zoe : you want me to stay ? thorne : i do n't know if you 've realized , but you made a big impression on runway . people are still talking about it . it was a gutsy move , putting on that showstopper . the kind of move that gets you noticed . zoe : yeah , and not necessarily in a good way . i mean , ridge basically said , `` thanks for saving the show , but get out of dodge . `` thorne : yeah , let me handle ridge . zoe : and not to mention xander . i mean , i promised him that i 'd ... wait , what exactly are you saying ? thorne : i 'm saying everyone deserves a second chance . look , london 's a great city , but you should explore your options . so take a break from packing and come to forrester with me . brooke : i saw something in steffy today that i have n't seen in a while . she was excited . she was really wanting to come to work . she was all fired up . ridge : yeah , she was . that 's what i want for her . got past that pain she 's been feeling for the last few months . hope : yeah , and i want that , too . for all of us . liam , steffy , and i , we 're gon na have to figure out a way to move forward . brooke : which is why you have to go to them . ridge : what ? hope : what ? brooke : you said they were here , right ? ridge : yeah , but they 're having a conversation . brooke : well , this is about you , too , hope . you need to know what liam 's thinking . this is about your future , about your baby 's future . you 've given steffy plenty of time to talk to him , so just go and fight for your future . liam : `` alone . `` steffy : for the time being , yes . it 's what i need . liam : i -- i still do n't understand why my dad would give you his shares . steffy : he wanted to prove to me his feelings were real . liam : oh , so -- okay , so he still thinks there 's a chance . steffy : no , he -- he gave them to me knowing there 's not . i do n't want bill . i 've always wanted you . liam : i - i 'm sorry , steffy . i 'm not really getting it . i mean , if that 's true , then why do you want to be alone ? i know i hurt you . steffy : we hurt each other . and we need to step back . i need to focus on what 's important . our daughter . my work . liam : okay . steffy : you asked for forgiveness , and i could n't give it . but here 's what i can give you . i know you 're in an impossible situation . i feel for you , liam . i really do . you have a child with me and one on the way with hope . it must be tearing you apart inside , being divided . i understand your situation . and i 'm hoping you 'll understand mine . i have to take myself out of this , liam . i ca n't be in the middle of your indecision . as much as i want to spend the rest of my life with you , as much as i want to keep fighting , i have something new i 'm fighting for . something really important . my needs , my desires , they no longer matter . kelly does . her needs , her desires . and part of her needs are parents who are happy and fulfilled . liam , i know you love me . but you love hope , too . otherwise , it would n't have been so easy for you to just be with her . so if you want to be with hope , do it . be with hope . thorne : hey . xander : oh , hey , thorne . um , i 've got most of this organized now . i just need to ... zoe . uh , what , uh ... ? zoe : i know . i 'm just as confused . thorne : zoe said she was leaving for london . xander : yeah , i 'm pretty sure that 's best . considering ... thorne : considering the comments she made online , yeah . zoe : i did n't mean any harm . xander : i know . i told thorne that . thorne : right , which is why i 'm comfortable offering her a job . xander : what ? zoe : what ? thorne : what do you say , zoe ? would you like to be a forrester model ? liam : i 'm so confused . steffy : do n't be . liam : steffy , i love -- i love that you did n't marry my dad . i love that you didn't . but what you 're saying right now ... steffy : i 'm saying that we both should be living our best lives . mine 's here . at forrester , running this company . being a mom to kelly . and yours ... well , i know you 're always gon na be involved in kelly 's life . but your best life ... maybe it 's with hope and the growing family you have with her . it 's okay . come in , hope . i 'm actually glad you 're here . hope : you are ? steffy : i do n't know what you overheard , but , uh ... liam : steffy , um ... what are you -- what are you doing right now ? steffy : it 's okay . hope , fighting over liam , it 's just caused us unnecessary pain , and i 'm so , so tired of it . i 'm at a stage in my life where i 'm too proud to beg for a man who 's kissing another woman while i 'm at home taking care of our daughter . seeing you two in the dressing room , it hurt . a lot . and i 'm not gon na go through that ever again . which is why this has to be . hope : what has to be ? steffy : i always thought i was better for liam . i really did . i thought opposites attract . but the truth is , he wants you . he 's always wanted you . and i tried to interfere , stop what could n't be stopped . now i 'm paying the price . and that 's okay . i 'll get by . because we have our daughter , and that 's so worth it . and you 'll have your child , too . and your marriage . i 'd like to be the first to congratulate you . you 're gon na have a great life together and a beautiful family . it 's the way it should be . zoe : you 're serious ? thorne : yes . congratulations , zoe . welcome to forrester creations . zoe : thank you ! thank you so much . thorne : you bet . zoe : can you believe this ? ridge : you think that was wise , having hope interrupt them ? brooke : she deserves to have a voice in this . ridge : eventually , maybe . brooke : no , not eventually . now . hope needs to learn how to stand up for herself . there 's another life to consider . ridge : yeah . brooke : ridge , come on . do n't be angry . ridge : i 'm not angry . i just think maybe you should stop meddling . brooke : i 'm not meddling , i 'm just standing up for my daughter , the same thing that you 're doing . does it really matter anyway ? liam 's the one who 's going to make the decision . ridge : maybe not . maybe steffy had enough . maybe it 's her decision . steffy : i know you both think i 'm crazy . hope : no , i just -- what are you doing ? steffy : what needs to be done . and i 'm not just doing it for the two of you , i 'm doing it for myself and for my daughter . for your child , too . what do we want our children to see ? what do we want them to feel ? that they 've loved , that they 're safe , and they have adults they can count on . hope : i agree . liam : there 's no question . we 're all committed to that . steffy : i admire my mom tremendously . she 's always been a hero to me . and brooke ... i have n't been always able to admit this , but ... she 's pretty awesome , too . but they have n't been the best examples for us , hope . watching them fight over my dad , it was n't right . we did n't need to see that . the three of us , we need to find a better way . we need to find friendship , eventually . and give the next generation of forresters , logans , and spencers more than what we had growing up . we need to find peace . this ring is special to liam . it represents his devotion to the woman who 's wearing it . you should have it , hope . liam : uh ... steffy , what are you -- steffy : may i ? liam : um , wait , steffy . steffy : here . please , take this . be his bride . have a life with him . she 's yours . it 's the way it 's supposed to be . it could n't have happened before . otherwise , we would n't have kelly . and your child would n't be on its way . so let 's put the conflict behind us . for kelly . for your child . the three of us . [ laughs ] no , actually , the five of us . it 's time to take care of ourselves . it 's time to heal . | ridge tells steffie that he is so proud of her and she agrees ; she is proud of herself . liam walks in and hears enough to know that she must not have married bill and she comments that she did n't . he seems pleased . hope hears about it too . thorne questions xander about zoe and her posts . xander says she is crazy possessive but she really is a good person . she probably is on her way across the pond by now . wrong thorne knocks on zoe 's door and wonders why she is still here . steffy tells liam that she could not marry bill . being alone was the best option for her and kelly . he says that makes him very happy until she says alone , like totally alone . emma says if zoe has gone home then there is no reason to keep talking about her . he says right , they will never see her again . surprisingly thorne tells zoe that everyone deserves a second chance , so stop her packing and come back with him to forrester . in front of ridge , brooke tells hope that she has given steffy enough time to tell liam so go in there and fight for her own future . liam tells steffy that he knows he hurt her . she says they hurt each other but now she has something more important to fight for - kelly - and part of her happiness will be two parents who are happy and fulfilled . so if he wants to be with hope then go do it . he has one child with her and one on the way with hope and she will not stand in the way of his indecisions . he says he is happy that she did not marry bill but he does not understand this at all . |
ridge : well , we 're just gon na have to table this discussion until you calm down . thorne : yeah , you know you 've gone too far , do n't you ? ridge : i 'm just trying to keep you from making one hell of a mistake . thorne : you mean from forcing the issue . ridge : forcing our father to choose between his sons . you may not think of me as his son , but he sure as hell does . thorne : well , you 're not , ridge . are you ? ridge : biologically , no . but in every way that matters , yes i am . no one 's gon na win here , thorne . thorne : no , ridge , you 're the one who 's not gon na win . and that 's what has your head spinning , because for the first time in your life , you 're going to come out the loser . and i 'm sure you 're just terrified . ridge : do i look terrified ? thorne : well , maybe you 're just not smart enough to figure it out . oh , i 'm sorry . did i stoop to your level ? so unlike me . ridge : i did n't create this situation . your wife did . thorne : you know what ? you leave darla out of it , ridge ! this is not about her any more , or your stupid line ! this is about you and me , and your attitude . i 've had it . i 'm fed up with it ! ridge : well , i think i 've been more than fair . thorne : oh , god . see , that 's exactly what i am talking about ! you 've been so kind , have n't you ? so tolerant , so generous . allowing me this office , huh ? allowing me my success . well , let me tell you one thing . i have earned every damn thing that i 've gotten , ridge , in spite of you . and i am sick of you trying to bring me down . ridge : well , i just wanted to make sure that you did n't bite off more than you can chew , because we all have our limits , do n't we ? thorne : yes , we do . and you are mine . you 've been trying to push me down my entire life . no more , ridge . ridge : you really think dad 's gon na choose you ? you know what , thorne ? i am the future of this company . thorne : we can find another designer , ridge . you tell me where he can find another first - born son ? [ knock on door ] eric : oh good , you 're both here . thorne : not for long . [ knock on door ] sephanie : you came . felicia : of course i came . refusing a direct order is grounds for court- martial , right ? [ stephanie chuckles ] am i the first ? stephanie : the first ? felicia : yeah , to get here . the way you sounded on the phone , i thought there was some kind of family emergency . stephanie : i just wanted to spend some time with my baby girl . is that so strange ? felicia : it 's just you have n't called me that in a long time . stephanie : if i remember correctly , you told me not to . felicia : did i ? well , you should n't have listened to me . stephanie : shall we sit down ? so , how 've you been ? felicia : you know , busy . on the go . stephanie : and ? felicia : and what ? stephanie : well , where have you been ? what have you been doing ? and who have you been doing it with ? felicia : wow . that 's a flashback to my teenage years . stephanie : i 'm just , you know , sort of playing catch - up . i mean , we have n't talked in a long time . felicia : have we ever ? stephanie : now , do n't joke . felicia : who 's joking ? stephanie : oh , all right . now that you 're all grown up , i 'd just like to get to know you better . felicia : why ? stephanie : you 're my daughter . felicia : have been , since as long as i can remember . let me just ask you something . in the past year , how many times have you called me ? stephanie : well , felicia , if you needed me -- felicia : no , no , no , no . i know better than to need you . that 's ridge 's department . stephanie : well , your brother has gone through a major crisis . felicia : yes , and that takes precedence . stephanie : look , you 've been gone . you have absolutely no idea of , you know , the stress that we 've all been through . you could have called . felicia : sure . to hear the details . stephanie : am i supposed to know there 's something wrong with you when you 're halfway around the world ? what do you expect ? felicia : this . this is what i expect from you . stephanie : stop . felicia , if i have n't been as available for you as you might have liked , i 'm sorry . but , look , lot 's of things have happened . things that have absolutely nothing to do with you . and you 've just got to learn not take it so personally . honey , you are not the center of my world . you have to learn to live with that . felicia : live with it ? no , i 'm not going to learn to live with anything . you know what ? you just take your maternal concern and shove it ! thomas : that last wave was awesome . amber : what about me ? not bad for my first time butt - boarding , huh ? thomas : see all the things you can learn from me ? amber : yeah , only problem is , i 'm not gon na be able to sit down for a week . thomas : this was a great idea . amber : yeah . well , figured you could use a pick - me - up after -- thomas : you can say it . after caitlin dumped me . i do n't know what she sees in rick , but -- i 'm sorry . amber : well , rick 's an incredible guy . but so are you . amber : hey . what 'd i tell you about that ? thomas : did anyone ever tell you you think too much ? amber : no . and i have to think about this . thomas : no , you do n't . come on , amber , what 's the big deal ? all we 're doing is messing around a little . amber : yeah , well , a little can lead to a lot . thomas : that 's the idea . amber : little tommy forrester is trying to seduce me ? thomas : and it 's working . am i right ? amber : i refuse to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate me . thomas : oh , i 'll do that for you . amber : in your dreams . thomas : well , you do n't want to get your back burned , do you ? amber : i 'll take my chances . thomas : okay . have it your way . but do n't blame me when you get sun poisoning , and you 're all red and blistery , and you ca n't sleep for days . amber : okay , fine . you win . here . thomas : all right . so , come on and have a seat here and be prepared for an experience -- amber : what 's that ? thomas : nothing . it 's this bracelet i gave to caitlin . she did n't want it anymore . amber : well , maybe she 'll take it back some day . thomas : yeah . amber : ah , you kids . you think you know everything . you think you can predict the future . but you 're wrong . you never know what might come your way , or when you might get a second chance . stephanie : what is going on with you ? felicia : what 's going on with you ? all these questions , what , the sudden interest in my life ? stephanie : i 'm worried about you . felicia : me ? no , you must have me confused with ridge . stephanie : stop changing the subject . you 're in trouble , and you do n't want me to know . felicia : i am fine . stephanie : no , you 're not fine . that 's quite obvious . felicia : you think you can fix me now ? what , you think you have all the answers ? well , you know what ? you do n't . and even if you did -- it 's too late . stephanie : it 's too late ? what are you talking about ? what do you mean ? i 'm your mother . i can help you . just tell me the truth . felicia . felicia , are you doing drugs ? eric : you 've been arguing . i thought i made it clear to both of -- thorne : he barred darla from the building . eric : is that true ? ridge : she 's a security risk . thorne : oh , give me a break . ridge : we 've lost millions of dollars because of what she did . thorne : that was an accident , ridge . ridge : well , i ca n't take the chance of that `` accident `` happening again . thorne : no , what you ca n't take is a woman who does n't think that the world revolves around you . ridge : you see what i have to deal with ? thorne : yeah , well , guess what ? not for long . eric : what do you mean by that ? ridge : thorne has drawn a line in the sand , dad . either he goes , or i go . you choose . felicia : you want to know -- stephanie : i think i already do . felicia : you 're accusing me of -- ? stephanie : this is not an accusation . felicia : the hell it 's not . oh , my god . stephanie : i have reasons to ask you . felicia : what ? what , the track marks on my arms ? the white powder under my nose ? stephanie : the pills in your purse ? felicia : i do n't know what you 're talking about . stephanie : then you would n't mind if i opened it . felicia : oh , god , nick , i -- stephanie : felicia , i can get you the help that you need . felicia : i am not hooked on pills , okay ? i just want you to leave me alone . you know , i do n't understand why you always have to think the worst . stephanie : i wish i did n't have reason to . felicia : you know what i said about picking up the phone and calling me sometime ? do n't . thomas : do you really think people get second chances ? amber : otherwise , how could i get up in the morning ? thomas : you 're living on hope . that seems kind of sad . amber : well , you find ways to keep yourself busy . thomas : is that what i am to you ? something to keep you busy ? amber : well , time does goes by faster when i 'm with you . thomas : and that 's a good thing , right ? amber : god , you 're sweet . thomas : sweet . amber : yeah . what 's wrong with that ? thomas : caitlin thought i was sweet . amber : well , caitlin did n't know what she had . thomas : apparently , neither do you . amber : i do n't have you . thomas : you could if you wanted to . amber : sunblock . you know , why be in such a rush ? thomas : why wait ? amber : ever heard the expression `` innocence is bliss `` ? thomas : oh , no , see that 's `` ignorance is bliss . `` and i do n't want to be either one . so , how about it ? amber : how about what ? thomas : put me out of my misery . have sex with me . eric : you want me to choose between you two ? thorne : you and mother . ridge : oh , there we go . the real motive comes out . mother and i are on the outs , so you strike . thorne : she 's a founder of this company , ridge . she has a say . eric : she 'll say the same thing i do . the two of you are going to sit down and work this thing out . ridge : we 're beyond that . thorne : way beyond that . eric : look , you 're overreacting . both of you . now , sally has our designs . i know , it 's frustrating . ridge : not to him , though . he thinks it 's great . that 's probably why he let darla get on his computer in the first place . thorne : you know what , ridge ? you 've going too far now . ridge : oh , i 've gone too far ? thorne : you 're damn right . when you question my loyalty to this company . ridge : you 're damn right i do , thorne . you act like we 're all in this business just to feed your ego . thorne : oh , my god . he wants to talk egos . ridge : yeah , that 's right , i have one . but you know what ? i earned mine . eric : all right , that 's enough . i 'm tempted to fire you both . ridge : maybe i should n't have said that . thorne : why not , ridge ? you 've been saying it ever since you came back in a hundred different ways . everyone in this building -- hell , everyone in this industry knows what you think . you 've earned your place here , i have n't . you belong here , i do n't . you 're taking us to the future , i 'm holding us back . eric : thorne , you ca n't let that -- thorne : you know what ? do n't tell me to suck it up anymore , okay ? or to put up with it , it 's just ridge . i have been hearing that my whole life , and i 've been doing it my whole life . well , i ca n't take it anymore . you hear me ? not one more day ! you have to let one of us go , and you have till tomorrow . amber : okay , i think it 's time for you to go home . thomas : you said i was sweet . amber : yeah , and i want you to stay that way . thomas : oh , come on , what 's the worst that could happen ? amber : thomas , this is a huge decision . and for you to take it so lightly -- thomas : well , i 've thought about it . i mean , it 's practically all i 've thought about . and i 'm ready . amber : well , i 'm not . thomas : i 'm not a kid , amber . amber : yeah , you 're more adult than some adults i know . thomas : i just need someone to make it official . you know , bring me up to speed . amber : up to speed , huh ? hmm . well , see now , there 's your first mistake . see , you do n't want to go too fast . thomas : i do n't ? amber : hmm - mm . see , you want to time it right with the rhythm of your partner . thomas : like that ? amber : you 're a good student . thomas : you 're a good teacher . amber : i should n't be doing this . thomas : do n't stop now . amber : you know , your first time should be special . thomas : and it would be , with you . teach me . eric : look , there 's no way i 'm going to choose between the two of you . ridge : well , you 're gon na have to , because i ca n't work with this . stephanie : what is going on in here ? i can hear you all the way down the hallway , and so can everyone else . now this has got to stop . thorne : oh , it will . tomorrow . stephanie : what ? eric : they want us to choose between them . stephanie : oh , for heaven 's sake . thorne : it 's the only solution , mother . stephanie : one of you leaves the company ? what does that solve ? ridge : well , if it 's thorne , we can get back to business . stop spending half our time coddling him . thorne : it 's not just business , ridge , which is what you 've never understood . it 's a family operation . it 's for the family . not the other way around . eric : exactly right . which is why i do n't want this dividing our family . thorne : no , we 're already divided . that much is clear . the question is , which one of us is more valuable ? stephanie : you are both valuable . do n't put us in this position . thorne : you know what , mother ? i wish i did n't have to . i really do . but i ca n't take this anymore . and it 's bad for this company , too . the people in this building know what 's going on up here . they sense the tension . they 're confused . they 're taking sides . it 's bad for morale . eric : i 'm well aware of that . thorne : well , we did n't have these problems before he came back . ridge : that 's because there was no one to challenge you . thorne : you know what , ridge ? we were doing just fine while you were gone . matter of fact , we were a hell of a lot better off . ridge : you agree with that , dad ? thorne : you know , dad , we all know how thrilled you are to have him back . but even you have got to see what it is doing to this company , to this family . we 're at each other 's throats here . ridge : that 's not my doing , that 's darla 's . eric : all right , that 's enough ! stop it . thorne : i 'm your first - born son . and you will never have to doubt my allegiance . i will give you everything i 've got , dad , as i always have . ridge : well , therein lies the problem , thorne . because everything you 've got is just not good enough . not to keep this business going . and that 's just a fact . because i 'm the one they ca n't afford to lose . stephanie : we ca n't afford to lose either one of you . now there has to be a way to resolve this . ridge : mother , i 'm sorry to put you in this position . stephanie : well , then do n't . and do n't ask us to make an impossible choice . ridge : i 'll be waiting for your answer . stephanie : thorne -- thorne : no , mother . i 'm not backing down . i have lived in his shadow long enough . eric : and we have to bear some of the responsibility for that . thorne : yes , you do . and that 's why you two have to end it -- tomorrow . stephanie : what are we going to do ? | darla pleads with sally to tell the forresters who gave her the ingenue designs . sally does n't want to but eventually tells that darla gave them to her . darla realizes there was a mistake and explains it . thorne backs her up . ridge is livid and yells at darla . she rushes out and meets thorne at home . she berates herself for being stupid . meanwhile , the ingenue show goes on , despite ridge 's wanting to cancel it . it is a big hit with everyone , except for thomas , who saw rick and caitlin hug and then kiss . rick goes on in thomas ' place when he leaves . |

quinn : wyatt ? who was that on the phone ? wyatt : it was a lieutenant from the mexico city police department . quinn : what did they want ? wyatt : to ask me some questions about ricardo montemayor 's death . quinn : why ? what do they suspect ? wyatt : murder . aly : is the diamond really worth that much to you ? hope : saying yes to the diamond does not mean that i 'm saying no to liam . aly : you did n't say yes to the diamond , hope . you said yes to wyatt . that 's why liam walked out on you . liam : okay . well , obviously , you think i did the right thing . ivy : well , does it really matter what i think ? liam : i - i do n't know . i mean , you were at the press conference . you saw what happened . ivy : yeah . and i know why you 're upset . your fiancée should not be accepting jewelry from her ex - boyfriend . but i do n't know . i ca n't tell you if breaking up with hope was the right way to handle things or not . liam : i did n't break up with her . ivy : did n't you ? carter : the diamond 's big news . oliver : hope and wyatt , too . maya : all over social media . pam : jarrett , line 2 . eric : we 'll get back to him . pam : sorry , jarrett . try later . donna : did anyone know what wyatt was planning ? pam : well , hope obviously did n't . rick : he said he was gon na get the world 's attention . he certainly did that . ridge : how do we keep it ? brooke : what are you doing ? deacon : getting through to you the best way i know how . how am i doing ? ridge : all right , everybody . i called this meeting because we need to harness the momentum that wyatt gave us . eric : marketing , media , sales , everyone . ridge : yeah . rick : ivy ? ridge : sure . rick : hey , it 's rick . we need you in the c.e.o . office . ivy : uh , yeah . i 'll -- i 'll be right there . i , uh -- sorry . i - i have to go . liam : no , go . go . quinn : that sounds serious . wyatt : yeah . the mexican police want to talk to me . quinn : how would you know what happened to ricardo ? wyatt : do n't know . do you ? quinn : me ? wyatt : mm - hmm . quinn : [ chuckles ] oh , honey , come on . why would i know ? i just got out of treatment -- nowhere near mexico city . wyatt : you just got out ? quinn : oh , come on . look ... it makes sense that they want to talk to you . ricardo left you the diamond . they 're probably just gon na assume you were old friends . you know what ? you should n't even be thinking about this , though . do n't let this phone call ruin your incredible day . you know , focus on hope . she accepted the diamond . it 's only a matter of time before she takes you back . wyatt : [ chuckles softly ] all right . well , i 'm off to work . quinn : okay , honey . bye . wyatt : bye . ridge : we need to jump on this now . rick : caroline is in a meeting . eric : let 's get hope in here .

[ cell phone chimes ] brooke : you say you 've changed . we , i have , too . i have different priorities now . and the most important priority is my daughter . deacon : we have that in common . brooke : yes , which is why i think you 're going to want to see this . deacon : it looks like she took my advice . it 's a priceless diamond , brooke . she could n't say no to it . brooke : [ sighs ] liam is going to be extremely upset . wyatt : i told you this would be big . donna : was it for real ? the diamond is really yours ? pam : do you get to keep it ? hope : well , i think it should be put on display . wyatt : well , yeah , it should be displayed , but it should be worn as a necklace . ivy : a 40-plus - carat one - of - a - kind necklace . maya : they say it 's magic . rick : i definitely know it has the power to raise sales , does n't it ? aly : why are they encouraging him ? donna : hope for the future 's already trending off the charts . pam : and that is really saying something , 'cause donna has the most active account in town . oliver : the people want to see that diamond . pam : well , the rodeo drive boutique already has looky - loos . carter : how long would it take to set up a display ? rick : no , we need to do something bigger . eric : thorne thinks we should bring the diamond to paris -- build an exhibit around it there . rick : well , if ivy is willing to do a new setting , we could tie it to her line -- send it to australia . how does that sound , mate ? ivy : y -- overwhelming . [ chuckles ] ridge : this whole thing caught all of us by surprise , and , unfortunately , we do n't have time to catch our balance , but we have to make a decision . eric : it 's not the way i like to do things . carter : it 's risky , rushing ahead . we might miss something important . ridge : if there 's a problem , we 'll deal with it when we get there . wyatt : that 's how i work best . ridge : now , wyatt , you started this little firestorm . what 's your idea ? wyatt : well , that depends on the diamond 's new owner . what do you say , hope ? you up for another adventure ? ivy : i want hope to weigh in on this . rick : it is your line , sis . pam : and it is your diamond . hope : [ chuckles ] uh , well , honestly , my head is still spinning . donna : yeah . if somebody gave me a gift like that , i 'd be passed out on the floor . wyatt : see , that is exactly the feeling that we want this campaign to capture . we want to take their breath away . ridge : so , you do have an idea ? wyatt : i like what thorne suggested . eric : take the diamond to paris ? wyatt : yeah . well , rick did say he wanted to go bigger , so i 'm thinking , `` what 's bigger than one superstar diamond ? `` how 'bout three superstars in one photo shoot ? oliver : celebrities ? wyatt : icons . the diamond , hope , and the eiffel tower , hmm ? i mean , if we can get the jet ready , i can -- i can have everything ready for the photo shoot right away . but every hour that passes , the buzz starts to fade . ridge : we ca n't let that happen . we got to capitalize . wyatt : right . but all we need is one great iconic image and hope for the future will be cemented in people 's minds forever . rick : i like it . ridge : i like it , too . eric : and you can be ready right now ? wyatt : yeah . [ chuckles ] look , just give me a chance , okay ? i promise you wo n't be sorry . okay , look -- i know you 've had issues with me in the past and i 've made mistakes and i have given you plenty of reasons to question my judgment . but there 's one thing that you ca n't deny -- my passion , how much i care about this job , how grateful i am to get another shot . this opportunity is -- is huge for hope for the future , but it 's also a huge opportunity for me to prove myself and to show you that we want the same things . and with the help of the diamond ... i know we can achieve them . brooke : wyatt put hope in a horrible position . deacon : wyatt gave her a hell of a gift . brooke : in front of the whole world and made it impossible for her to say no . deacon : hey , remind me to take some lessons from that kid . look , i did n't come over here to look at videos on your phone . [ cell phone chimes ] deacon : is -- is it hope ? brooke : [ sighs ] no , it 's rick . hope and rick are going to paris with wyatt to do a layout with the diamond . deacon : with wyatt ? brooke : that 's what it says . deacon : [ chuckles ] liam is n't gon na like that , either . brooke : which makes me wonder why she agreed to it . deacon : you know , she 's doing it for the line . she 's like her old man -- keeping her eye on the prize . brooke : i - i do n't understand what she 's thinking . deacon : maybe she 's not . look , i know it does n't sound like her . i know she 's logical and cautious . but , brooke , she 's also your daughter , which means she 's got a heartbeat inside of her that wants what it wants . i know that scares you because you 're afraid she 's gon na do the right thing for the wrong reason or vice versa and that it could get her in trouble , but you know what ? it wo n't lie to her . she can trust it , like you 've always trusted it . brooke : she and liam have been through so much . i do n't want this to derail them . deacon : she 's a logan . he 'd be a fool to let her go . wyatt : uh , you 're not gon na throw that thing at me , are you ? hope : i thought about it . wyatt : [ chuckles ] kind of put you on the spot back there . hope : yeah , you did , did n't you -- a couple times ? wyatt : yeah . and i hate to do it again , but ... you did n't really give rick an answer on paris . hope : [ sighs ] you know , it 's -- i really do n't think that i should be leaving right now . liam 's really upset . wyatt : so ? a little time apart . he 'll calm down . he 'll get over it . unlikely , i know , but stranger things have happened . [ chuckles ] paris is a good idea -- for you and for your line . i would n't have suggested it if it was n't . hope : look , i - i want to go . wyatt : okay . then say yes . hope : [ sighs ] no . not until i talk to liam . aly : they might ask you to go . oliver : no . they 'll use the international crew . aly : well , if it even happens . hope did n't say yes . oliver : but why would she accept the diamond if she 's not gon na use it to promote her line ? aly : good question . oliver : of course , wyatt has his agenda . aly : and he 's not even trying to hide it . oliver : taking the diamond to paris is a really great idea . you know , it could be a really great photo shoot . aly : yeah , but why does he have to go along ? he 's not responsible for the diamond anymore . he gave it to hope . oliver : i still ca n't believe ricardo montemayor just gave it to him . aly : it kind of makes me sad . he had all that money and priceless jewels but no family -- no one close to share it with . everyone says the diamond is magic , but it definitely was n't lucky for liam or señor montemayor . [ cell phone rings ] wyatt : if i do n't answer my phone , it probably means that i 'm busy . quinn : except you 're not , because you answered your phone . wyatt : is everything all right ? quinn : that 's what i called to ask you . how 's hope ? wyatt : well , she 's getting ready for a trip to paris . quinn : paris ? wyatt : with me . quinn : [ gasps ] oh , wyatt ! wyatt : and with rick and the diamond . we 're putting together a photo shoot . actually , i 'm putting together a photo shoot superfast , and i need to get off the phone so i can get to work . quinn : oh . well , is hope helping you ? wyatt : she will be . she 's on her way to liam 's right now to break the bad news . quinn : i thought he walked out on her . wyatt : well , this might shut the door between them permanently . hope : i was n't sure you 'd let me in . liam : why would you say that ? hope : because you just walked out earlier . liam : yeah . i was frustrated . i was n't getting through to you . hope : i - i could say the same thing , but i 'm still willing to talk about it . liam : is that why you 're here ? hope : uh , no -- i mean , not exactly . liam : um ... you 're not wearing the thing . hope : no . no . it 's -- it 's in the safe at forrester . liam : okay . so , it 's still yours . you know -- you know what he 's doing , and i know that you see it because you were ready to give it back to him . and then he ambushes you with this press conference , announcing his gift in front of the whole world , and , suddenly , everything you said to me goes out the window . hope : liam , it was a business decision . you are the only one making it personal . liam : hope , it 's personal to me . hope : okay . okay . so , let 's talk about it . liam : i do n't -- i do n't think that 's a good idea right now . hope : well , i might have to go out of town , and i do n't want to leave things on bad terms . liam : where are you going ? hope : paris . liam : with who ? hope : rick . and wyatt . rick and ridge want me to do some photo shoots there . they think it would be a really good idea . liam : yeah , yeah , but originally , it was wyatt 's idea , was n't it ? hope : i have n't said yes yet . i wanted to talk to you first . liam : but you 've made up your mind already , right ? hope : liam ... this could be a really , really incredible opportunity . showcasing the diamond in europe would fortify hope for the future there , and it could bring in thousands of new clients . and , obviously , profits are important , yes , but you know that 's not why i 'd do this . you know that . the more reporters that show up to our showrooms , the more headlines we get and the more young women are going to be in touch with hope for the future 's message of empowerment and environmental awareness . you -- you get that , right ? i mean , you understand that . this is not about the diamond . this is not because wyatt gave it to me . this is because of what the diamond can do . liam ... liam , i love you . i love you so much . and i want to start our life together , so [ sniffles ] let 's start it in paris . you are the man that i want to be with . what do you say ? come with me . | quinn asks wyatt who was calling . he replies it was the mexican police calling about ricardo 's death . she asks why and he replies they are investigating , possible murder . she says that sounds serious . but she ca n't imagine why they 'd want to talk to wyatt . he asks if she knows anything . she feigns ignorance and scoffs that she just got out of treatment , nowhere near mexico city . but she does not want this to ruin his fabulous day that he will have with hope . she accepted the diamond so its only a matter of time before she takes wyatt back . as the group at fc huddle ridge says they need to work fast to continue this while the diamond is hot . they need hope in here . rick calls her and tells her to call wyatt they need him too . ivy tells liam that she knows he is upset . his fiance should not be accepting jewelry from another guy . he corrects her and said he did not break up with hope which ivy seemed to think . ridge tells rick they need to make some decisions and a statement about the diamond . wyatt comes in and says he gave the diamond to hope so it really is up to her . she says she is going to use the diamond with her line otherwise she never would have accepted it . wyatt tells the group that he told them this would be big . aly hates how they are encouraging wyatt . donna says the news is trending like crazy . pam says rodeo drive already has lookie loos . ridge asks how long would it take to set up a display . eric says they need to do something bigger than that . he says thorne thinks they should bring it to paris . carter says they have to avoid rushing ahead and risk overlooking something . ridge says they will cross that when they have to . ridge tells wyatt he started this firestorm so what is his idea . wyatt says that should be up to the diamond 's owner and asks hope if she is up for another adventure . she seems confused and says her head is still spinning . wyatt says that is what they want to do - take everyone 's breathe away . he likes thorne 's suggestion going to paris . how about three superstars in one photo shoot ? it could be the diamond , hope and the eiffel tower . if they can make the jet ready he can be ready right away . every moment they miss the buzz will start to fade . all they need is one iconic image and hftf will be cemented in people 's minds forever . wyatt promises them they will not be sorry . they all like it . only hope who is saying nothing looks unsure . wyatt says he knows he has done things in the past that made them doubt him , but there is no mistaking his passion . they have given him a second chance and he wants to prove to them that he deserves that . |

wyatt : steffy , i am so sorry . if i had any idea what my mother was up to , i -- steffy : that 's just it . no one knows what sick , vile thing quinn 's gon na do next . but this ? targeting my grandfather ? playing on his vulnerability ? wyatt : i -- i know . have you even talked to eric yet ? steffy : yeah , he said he 's sorry , but this is all quinn 's doing . honestly , wyatt , i just do n't know how much more i can take . quinn : if i 'm putting you on the spot , i 'm sorry . but i need to know if we can survive this . i know we have all -- all the odds against us . but i love you . and i know we have huge obstacles in front of us -- our families , the people who mean the most to us in this world . but before i get back on a plane and i fly back to l.a. , i need to know if this is -- if this is not possible . and if that 's how you feel ... really how you feel , just say the words . and you never have to see me again . eva : i got your text . i assume it 's about the latest set of press releases ? did you want to add anything before they were distributed ? liam : uh -- [ chuckles ] no , no . i just -- i wanted to apologize . eva : for what ? liam : just for going on and on about my personal life . i got a little -- i got a lot carried away , and i hope i did n't make you feel uncomfortable . eva : not at all . i actually like that you felt you could confide in me . i just wish you were n't going through such a rough time . liam : yeah , well , when it comes to quinn , i think steffy 's got it a whole lot worse than i do . eva : she 's never far from your thoughts , is she ? ridge : you do n't have to do this , you know . thomas : do what ? ridge : check up on me . life goes on . it 's -- it 's just weird . one minute , caroline and you are so in love , and then the next -- ridge : be careful . thomas : thanks . ridge : i never stopped loving caroline . we ended or marriage because it was best for our family ... for the children . thomas : that 's big . ridge : i handled it badly . and you deserve better from me . thomas : so do you ... from me . ridge : so , is this it ? is this where we start trying to understand and forgive each other ? i thought something very different happened that night between you and caroline ... the night that douglas was conceived . and i jumped to conclusions that i should n't have . i 'm sorry . thomas : no , dad , dad , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i was at fault , too . bottom line is that we 're a family . we 're moving forward . that 's what counts . what matters is that douglas is gon na see me as his father . ridge : yeah . thomas : so , you hear anything back from monte carlo ? granddad , he made his big announcement , right ? i heard it went really well . i mean , we both know how those things go . i 'm just hoping there were n't any , uh ... big surprises . eva : any more sightings of quinn ? liam : what ? eva : you mentioned earlier that you saw her . liam : oh . eva : do you think it 's possible that she actually really is here in monte carlo ? liam : i mean , she knows all hell would break loose if that happens , but that 's what quinn lives for , right ? creating chaos . eva : for steffy especially , from what you 've said . liam : oh , my god , yeah . steffy 's told quinn like a million times to stay away from her and her family , but quinn -- [ laughs ] -- quinn does n't listen . she just keeps on insinuating herself , so ... even if she 's not here in monte carlo , i get the feeling that it 's not too long before quinn flips steffy 's world upside down . quinn : if i had just stayed in l.a. , steffy never would have seen me . she would n't be so upset . eric : i 'll never forget how my granddaughter looked at me . quinn : i 'm so sorry . when you sent me that e - mail ... i felt like i had to come here and -- and fight for you , fight for us , because i thought if i wait until you -- until you got back to l.a. , it would 've been too late . was it -- was it risky ? yes . did i make things worse ? obviously . i 've never seen steffy angrier at me . eric : and for good reason , would n't you say ? steffy : what did your mother say ? wyatt : that they 've been having a relationship and that it just happened . steffy : it did not just happen . steffy : i told her to stay away from me and my family so many times , and then just ends up with my grandfather ? wyatt : i know . steffy : that 's not -- that 's not a coincidence . she 's going after him to get back at me for shutting her out , and there 's -- there 's nothing i can do . she 's not gon na stop . there 's nothing my grandfather can do . you need to put a stop to her , for all our sakes . thomas : have you spoken to granddad ? ridge : uh , no , but he 's been on my mind . thomas : still bothers you , huh ? him replacing you as c.e.o . ridge : yeah , it does . it does bother me . thomas : oh , come on . it was his baby , you know ? he was the driving force behind forrester for years . the company thrived under his leadership . ridge : and it was n't thriving under my leadership ? thomas : you took the company to entirely new levels . the poor guy 's got really big shoes to fill now . ridge : yes , he does . no , i think it 's good he 's taken over . he just seemed a little , um ... a little alone these days . thomas : you 're worried about him . ridge : yeah . i worry about him . you know , he 's been a widower for a long time , but i think ... traveling around with his brother is -- it 's not enough . i just do n't want him sitting around , drinking martinis , talking about tennis all day , either . thomas : not that there 's anything wrong with that . ridge : no , nothing wrong with that . i just feel he 's in a vulnerable place , and i do n't want anyone taking advantage of him . thomas : do you think someone 's trying to ? ridge : do n't think so . but i 'm gon na make sure no one does . quinn : steffy is your granddaughter . she 's hurting because of me . eric : she 's not just hurting . she 's -- she 's horrified , quinn . horrified . quinn : i tried to explain to her , but she was so angry , she would n't listen . she would n't even believe that my feelings for you were real . eric : quinn , i believe in the inherent goodness in every person , and i believe that you 've discovered that in yourself . and you raised a wonderful boy , and you 've built a great business , and you 've overcome hardship in your life , and you 've made mistakes along the way , and i know that you sincerely regret them . i do . i see that beauty in you . i love every moment we 've had together . every moment . but i have to put my family first . steffy 's been through so much . quinn : are you saying that -- eric : yes , i 'm ... i 'm sorry . eva : no doubt about it -- you and steffy got a raw deal . liam : but just suck it up and move on , right ? eva : i 'm guessing that 's what everyone 's told you to do . liam : [ laughs ] if by everyone you mean my father and my brother , yeah . oh , trust me -- they would be thrilled if i found somebody here in monte carlo , got caught up in a hot , torrid romance , say with a publicist . eva : ah . easier said than done ? liam : yeah , kind of . what about you ? you , uh , seeing anyone ? eva : well , as you may or may not have noticed , i tend to fall for the unavailable types . liam : [ chuckles ] please tell me my brother is n't on that list . please . eva : wyatt ? liam : yeah . eva : he 's -- i do n't -- he 's not really my type . liam : yes ! eva : but ... a lot of women admire you , liam ... probably no one more than me . just keep that in mind , okay ? liam : i would be very lucky . eva : i get that that does n't change the fact that you 're still in love with steffy . liam : [ sighs ] eva : so you 're really worried about her , huh ? liam : yeah , i -- i 'll always be worried , especially with quinn on the loose , and ... capable of anything . wyatt : i know how frustrating this is for you . steffy : frustrating ? frustrating ? i - i am not -- i 'm not frustrated . wyatt , i am furious . your mom came here against my wishes -- against yours -- pursue my grandfather , so she could just dig her hooks into him even deeper ! wyatt : i 'm not so convinced that that 's how simple this is . steffy : are you defending her ? wyatt : i 'm not defend -- that 's not what i 'm -- oh , my god , steffy . you 're right . okay ? mom had no business going to eric . if she wanted her job back -- steffy : that was just -- that was pretext . she just wanted access to my grandfather , and then after that , it was just full - on seduction ! wyatt : oh , my god . steffy : ugh ! i just keep thinking about it ! my grandfather , he is so sweet . and your mom -- that woman -- she is evil , wyatt . she is pure evil . wyatt : calm down . steffy : and you know what ? liam warned me . he warned me to stay away from her , and i just kept telling him that we had everything under control . but he was right . liam was right . wyatt : let 's not bring my brother 's name into this , because i am well aware of how he feels about my mother , all right ? steffy : just like quinn knows how i feel about her . and yet she chooses to ignore all the warnings . it 's like -- it 's like , i really laid into her this morning , and it just did n't even register with her . it 's like she was too caught up talking about how my grandfather and her found something . it 's like , she says that she 's a changed person , but she 's never gon na change , and you know that ! that was our one condition ! our one condition -- that she was gon na stay out of our lives ! wyatt : i know that ! i know , and i will handle this , okay ? i promise . steffy : you know your mom . she 's manipulative , she 's sick , she is evil , and she is toxic for our marriage . if our marriage means anything to you , can you please -- wyatt : of course it means something to me ! it means everything to me ! you mean everything to me ! i swear to god , i am going to fix this , all right ? steffy : what if she 's not on the plane ? what if -- what if she 's with my grandfather ? wyatt : fine . i will go over there and check , and if she is with eric , she wo n't be for long , 'cause i will personally put her on a plane myself . i will handle this . quinn : i understand . i wo n't bother you again . can you ... just hold me ... for a minute ? so ... so i can feel safe in your arms just -- just one last time ? eric : here . quinn : what are you doing right now ? eric : sitting here , looking out at the mediterranean . quinn : would you please go down to the sea , look into the water ... and think of me ? i 'll always treasure our time together . goodbye , eric . eva : well , i should probably be getting back to work . liam : yeah . eva : i 'm sending you light , liam . i 'm all about love and light . just like you . liam : see ya . steffy : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] steffy : ha . you wo n't believe what happened . thomas : stef , what 's going on ? you sound upset . steffy : quinn 's here . thomas : what ? steffy : yeah , she followed him . she followed granddad to monte carlo . thomas : granddad and quinn ? steffy : i 'm worried about him , thomas . i told that to quinn , i told that to wyatt . i do n't know how much more i can take . ridge : what 's going on ? thomas . thomas : uh ... you 're never gon na believe what steffy just told me . ridge : what ? thomas : you were right about granddad . ridge : was right about what ? thomas : that he was in a vulnerable place . ridge : what happened ? thomas : quinn fuller . she went to monte carlo . apparently -- apparently , they 're involved . ridge : [ sighs ] great . that 's what i was talking about -- someone taking advantage of dad . but quinn ? quinn fuller . really ? i just hope he 's okay . eric : if you 're looking for your mother -- wyatt : please tell me she 's on a plane going home right now . eric : yeah , she is . wyatt : [ sighs ] thank god . eric : how 's steffy ? wyatt : she 's upset . i mean , she 's told my mother time and time again to stay away , and not only does she ignore her , she blatantly goes after you . eric : i would n't characterize what happened between your mother and me exactly like that . i know steffy does , but she 's wrong . wyatt : i have never seen steffy this way . monte carlo was supposed to be an opportunity to put some distance between her and my mother . like , give her a chance to regroup , you know ? instead , she finds my mother kissing you , and ... i 'm -- i 'm really worried about my wife , eric . liam : quinn . i swear , i just saw her on the promenade , but -- but then she was gone . steffy : excusez - moi . excuse me . excuse me . [ both grunt ] quinn : wait ! quinn : i love him ! aah ! steffy : never . liam : hey . hey , what happened ? steffy : you were right . quinn 's here . liam : oh , my god . steffy : you wo n't believe what she 's done . my grandfather -- i saw them kissing . they 're -- they 're having a relationship . liam : what ? steffy : i just -- i told her to stay away from me and my family , and ... i do n't know . i do n't know , liam . i do n't -- liam : i 'm sorry . listen , hey . i 'm sorry . but she 's not gon na change . you know that . right ? see , that 's why you have to get out of this marriage . these -- these people , they -- they infect you . they infect your family . trust me . i know from personal experience , steffy . i 'm not gon na let that happen to you . i am the only one who will protect you from this . you understand ? you have to come back to me . and i 'm not taking no for an answer . | wyatt apologizes to steffy and tries to explain that he had no idea that quinn was there in monte carlo or with her grandfather . steffy unloads on him that is the problem ; no one knows the vile , destructive things she can do when they all tell her over and over to leave them alone and stay away from all the forresters . she 's talked to eric but this is all quinn 's doing . she blames wyatt as well and says she does not know how much more of this she can take . no matter what quinn tells him this thing with eric did not just happen . she orchestrated it to get back at steffy . there is nothing steffy or her grandfather can do . wyatt needs to put a stop to his mother for all their sakes . quinn tells eric that she is sorry but she needs to know they can survive this . she says she knows they have huge obstacles in their way but she loves him and they can work through this . but if that is not how he feels then she needs to know before she gets back on that plane and goes home . he will never have to see her again . she is sorry that steffy is so upset with him . but when she got that e - mail from him she felt she had to come and fight for eric . eva comes back to liam 's room with him and asks if there is anything he wants to add to the press release . he apologizes for going on and on yesterday about his problems with steffy and asks if there is anyone in her life . she says no and denies it would ever be wyatt ; he is not her type . she makes liam smile when she says he could be if he were not hung up on steffy . he thinks he should be so lucky . ridge tells thomas that he does not have to stop over and check up on him . he did end his marriage but not because he does not love caroline but because it was best for their family . he will be okay and life moves on . he says he handled everything badly and thomas deserved better from him than to jump to the wrong conclusions about the night douglas was conceived . thomas says he was at fault too and the bottom - line is they are all a family and must co - exist . douglas will see thomas as his father and they will move forward and that is what counts . they both admit they are worried about eric just playing tennis and drinking martinis all day , so it 's good he is back as ceo . he does not want anybody to take advantage of him and will do all he can to make sure it does n't happen . eric tells quinn that he believes in her inherent goodness and he believes she recently discovered that in herself . he knows she has had hardships in her life and made mistakes along the way and regrets that . he has loved every single moment they have been together but he is sorry he has to put his family first . |

[ chuckles ] [ laughing ] oh , charlie . eric : you had to know this was a real possibility , quinn . that , in spite of my big heart that everybody likes to say i have , what you and ridge did -- quinn : what ridge and i did was foolish . it was reckless . it was utterly selfish . it 's not like we even were in love with each other . we barely even like each other . every time it happened , we did n't even understand why , we just -- we just -- eric : you just gave in to it ! the two of you gave in to it . that 's what you did . it 's what the two of you always do , the consequences be damned . quinn : i would undo this if i could in a second . i just -- i want you to believe in me again , in -- in -- in my love for you the way you used to . eric : i do n't -- i do n't question -- i don't ... i do n't question your love . anybody who 's shared the intimacy we have would never question our love . no . but marriage is more than that , quinn . it 's trust and -- and ... and loyalty and commitment . quinn : i am committed to you ! i 'm committed to you . i 'm committed to -- to repairing this , to fixing what 's broken . eric : what 's broken ? what you broke ! what you and ridge broke ! it 'd be bad enough if it was some other man . but that 's my son . it was my son ! how the hell do you ever fix that ? wyatt : okay , let me get this straight . you 're dumping me ? is that what 's going on ? katie : [ laughs ] no , no . i am not dumping you , because we are not dating . wyatt : this is true . but a date 's not a bad idea . let 's go out tonight -- have dinner , go to a club , maybe do some dancing . katie : see , i have responsibilities . i have a little boy that i have to tuck in at night . and i enjoy that . i can not be out till all hours . wyatt : right . so tuck him in . find a sitter . problem solved . katie : you 're terrible . wyatt : i 'm just trying to show you that whatever obstacles you think are in your way , they do n't have to be . look , we can either leave those kisses in monaco -- and on the plane -- or ... maybe we explore them and just keep having fun . i mean , do n't -- do n't you owe it -- do n't we owe it to ourselves to just , i do n't know ... see what happens ? steffy : sheila 's taken advantage , using this whole situation to worm her way back into granddad 's life . ridge : oh , i agree . i can see it . but the good news is that my father has agreed to talk to quinn . here 's what i do n't get -- how did sheila find out about quinn and me , anyway ? it was n't brooke . it was n't katie or ivy . so who would talk to sheila carter , of all people ? [ sitar music playing ] beatrice : oh , oh . please , sir . this side . i need my space . charlie : oh . so , uh , sheila , you -- you never answered me . are you expecting to become mrs . eric forrester again ? quinn : i know we have a lot to work through . maybe it 's insurmountable . d - do n't we ... owe it to our marriage ... to at least try ? a marriage that we fought so hard for . a marriage that nobody wanted to accept . the odds were stacked against us right from the very beginning , but ... slowly your family started to realize what ... what we already knew -- that the world 's unlikeliest couple were really good for each other . and we can be again if -- if we just ... if we just do n't take the easy way out . eric : divorce is not `` the easy way out . `` these have been sleepless nights for me . the time i 've been gone has been ... agony trying to figure out what to do about this . quinn : i know . i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i - i - i - i did n't mean to imply that this was easy . i - i 'm sorry , it just -- it upsets me so much to know that when you were making such an important decision about our lives that you were with sheila of all people -- eric : oh , sheila -- sheila had nothing to do with this . quinn : okay . okay . all right . okay . please . eric , please , just come home . this is your home . if you do n't want me here , i 'll leave . eric , you are just ... you 're such a good , decent man . your capacity for forgiveness and understanding is more than anyone i 've ever known . which is why i believe , despite your reason for coming here today ... you can find it in -- you can find it in your heart to forgive me one last time . i know it wo n't be easy . i know you have to learn to -- to trust me again . but before i lost my way , i was a loyal , faithful wife to you , devoted to you and this marriage , and i can be again -- i will be again , from this day forward . just -- just -- just do n't divorce me . do n't end what we could have again . i - i believe in the strength of our love . i believe in its power to endure and overcome and ... and i think you do , too . please . please , please , please tell me you do , too . | liam pretends to be shocked when steffy tells him that bill made himself the winner of the fashion show . liam asks why sally flew back by herself with thomas going to new york . steffy says she does not know but whatever keeps them apart is okay with her . quinn begs eric not to divorce her . she knows that he loves her . eric says he could not ever trust her again . she says they can not break up over a few kisses . he opines that it was more than that and that is all he needs to know . so , no , no marriage counselors to tell him what he already knows . ridge tells steffy this is the worst it has ever been . eric told him he no longer is his son . and it will be hard on quinn with sheila sitting there fanning the flames . sheila comes back and finds charlie still there . she threatens him with if he does not want his precious pammy to know that he told her about ridge and quinn then he better not to be telling her to get out of eric 's life . she was his wife once and is a friend now and knows what is best for him . charlie accuses her of wanting to be eric 's wife again . a beatrice knocks on the door and sheila invites her in . she starts looking around for vibes . charlie asks sheila what she is up to , he does not like it . she said she asked him to leave but he can stay over her dead body .. and laughs an evil laugh when she says it could be his body . quinn tells eric this does not have to be over if they could just talk and work this out . she will do anything to make that happen . he is livid . he says it could have been anyone else but it was his own son . he could never trust her again . she can not fix that . katie laments to wyatt that she does not want to keep harping on what she saw the other night but she ca n't quite shake it either . he says just leave it alone , but them on the other hand .... |
eric : how the hell can we be expected to choose one son over the other ? stephanie : this is n't the first time they 've butted heads . they 've always managed to work it out . eric : stephanie , this is not which boy gets the better bike . stephanie : i know that . eric : i mean , my god , thorne is starting fistfights . ridge ca n't even be in the same room as darla . we have to do something before this family falls apart . stephanie : well , there has to be a better solution than asking one of them to leave the company . eric , maybe we should think about having mediation . some kind of counseling . eric : absolutely not . this is a family problem . we 're going to settle this within the family . stephanie : i 'm not so sure that we are capable of working this out . and i do know one thing -- neither ridge nor thorne is prepared to be the one to leave . brooke : well , you look as relaxed as the kids . ridge : they asleep ? brooke : r.j. and hope are . but the twins are still working on their summer project . ridge : do you happen to know where thomas is now ? brooke : no . why ? ridge : i 'm just a little concerned about him lately . brooke : is that all you 're worried about ? ridge : well , now that you mention it , i 'm a bit concerned that you 're so far away over there , when you should be here in my lap . okay , okay . i feel bad for thorne . but i think it 's for the best . really . brooke : you 're talking like it 's a foregone conclusion . ridge : mother and dad are not going to fire me . dad knows that creative talent will make or break a fashion house . i just ca n't work in that atmosphere right now . that 's all there is to it . brooke : eric 's not the only one involved in making that decision . ridge : look , if mother keeps her business hat on , she 'll realize there 's only one choice to be made here . brooke : `` if . `` and that 's a big `` if . `` ridge : what do you mean by that ? you do n't think they 'll choose thorne , do you ? thorne : you know , i used to love puzzles . darla : oh , yeah ? thorne : yeah . my dad got me one of the eiffel tower when i was about 7 . you know , the kind with , like , 1,000 pieces ? they could n't believe how fast i could put it together . i almost finished it . darla : almost ? thorne : yeah . somebody wrecked it . darla : guess that happens when you grow up in a big family , huh ? thorne : yeah , but this -- this had ridge written all over it . he could n't stand it when i got any attention . even if it was a stupid puzzle . weird how some memories just stick with you , huh ? darla : you 'll get your eiffel tower , baby . thorne : not with ridge around , i wo n't . darla : are you certain your parents know that ? thorne : i 've lived with his grandstanding my entire life . and mom and dad have got to know that i 've waited way too long for my turn .

[ brooke sighs ] brooke : i just wish we could erase me from the equation somehow . ridge : hey , i do n't want to hear you talk like that . without you , there is no me . and i 'm as sure of that as i am that i 'm going to be back in my old office by tomorrow . and that 's that . darla : i know i 'm probably the last person in the world that you want to see right now . eric : darla , wait . before you say anything , i want you to know that both stephanie and i believe you , when you say you did n't mean to give sally those designs . darla : thank you . thank you . but i am worried as to where this might lead . you must know how much this position means to thorne at forrester . eric : both thorne and ridge have given a great deal of themselves to this company . darla : yes , true . but i do think it 's different for thorne . for ridge , it 's -- it 's just another accomplishment . but for thorne , it 's -- it 's more like validation , you know ? eric : darla , the decision we make will not be a reflection of how much we love either son . darla : i understand that . i just do n't think that thorne does . stephanie : i know . this is so much more than just a job to him . darla : you have raised such an incredible son . and all he wants to do is prove his devotion to this family and to this company . eric , i know you would be amazed at what he can accomplish , if you please just give him a chance . darla : i really need to get a smaller purse .

( laughs ) nick : well , everybody in this building has a reason to be proud . we all know that . nobody gave us much of a chance when we wanted to launch this line here at jackie m. but then the mysterious madame x showed up . bridget : mm . nick : and then stephanie came aboard , and the rest has been pretty much history . and you know what they say about the people who write history ? they 're the winners . so from here on out , jackie m. 's gon na have a lot to say . stephanie : and a lot of people are gon na be listening and more importantly , buying . bridget : yes . clarke : hear , hear . nick : yes , buying is very important . and you are very important . so as much as you 've brought to jackie m. , you 've brought even more to me . you bring your best every day to everybody . i 'm so happy to be in your life . bridget : ( whispering ) thank you . me , too .

( sighs ) where do we start ? katie : well , marcus had one idea , and it was a great idea . unfortunately , steffy was n't real comfortable in front of the camera . marcus : yeah , i know . it -- it was really tough for her . eric : it was , and we should n't do that to her , and we ca n't depend on a young model who 's uncomfortable with the whole situation to mold a whole new image . ridge : at least , not right now when things are so critical . katie : let 's not get all deflated and hopeless . the numbers were n't what we wanted , but that does n't mean we 're down and out forever . eric : well , it 's not going to be easy competing with jackie m. 's new indulge campaign . katie : i happen to believe that most women do n't dream of being cougars traipsing around the world like some crazed , sex - hungry adolescent . frankly , i find the whole campaign a little cheap .. it 's not forrester , and that 's a good thing . i think most women dream of something more sophisticated . they want to be royalty , right ? brooke : oh , yeah . katie : and like us . did n't we all want to grow up and be princesses ? donna : ( giggles ) yeah . katie : do n't we want to be part of a royal family ? donna : yeah . katie : i think we build on that idea . we use iconic images of royalty to create a story line . we play on forrester 's regal elegance . we use our own back - story . we 're three girls from the valley , and look at the fairy tale we 're living . we use that fantasy . donna : ( laughs ) eric : i love it . katie : good . eric : i think it 's wonderful . i think it 's whimsical , and it 's sophisticated . it 's exactly what we need right now . brooke : i agree . every woman deserves to have a little `` happily ever after . `` donna : ( giggles ) [ scene_break ] whip : i think the important thing is to -- to keep pushing the boundaries , you know ? we want to make sure everybody keeps guessing , `` what are they going to do next ? `` jackie : hmm . whip : now here . i worked on this , uh , this little layout last night . i was up most of the night thinking about it . jackie : oh , mr. jones , you were up most of the night thinking about little old me ?

[ scene_break ] brooke : no , no , no . i tot -- i totally get it . i do empathize , really . i can understand why taylor would have a problem with us working together . ridge : it 's not insecurity . brooke : no , it 's our history . after all , we did fall in love when we created the belief formula . things happen , ridge , when we 're together and pursuing the same goals , having different ideas . okay , tell me it was a bad idea . the royalty campaign -- just say it was a bad idea . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : see ? you ca n't . and it 's really what the company needs right now to turn it around , and i think it would be good for us as well . or we can tiptoe around each other and worry that what we 're saying is n't the right thing or how we 're acting and ... or else we could pursue this campaign , and we could work hard together and really make it something important . does n't that sound better ? ridge : yes , it does . brooke : okay , well , then why are you fighting it ? ridge : i 'm not . i just do n't want to argue with you . i do n't want to argue with taylor . we have too much we want to do . we 're supposed to be on our honeymoon , and now i 'm staying in the guestroom . brooke : ( sighs ) hey , it 's gon na be all right . really , i truly believe that . i mean , i would n't have come back here to forrester if i did n't . i rode all the way across town on my horse , and i would do it all over again , just to hear that one thing . ridge : what one thing ? brooke : i now pronounce you man and ... horse ?

quinn : i live here , and i wanted to wish my baby a bon voyage . wyatt : no , are n't you supposed to be in the clinic ? quinn : i told you . i got it covered . wyatt : yeah , you said you were still in treatment . quinn : yes , as an out - patient . i have a question for you . were there camera crews there when you presented hope with the diamond ?

charlie : sí . pam : whoa . quinn : but she loved it , right ? wyatt : yeah , sure she loved it . quinn : [ chuckles ] well , of course . i mean , it 's one of the most celebrated diamonds in the world . wyatt : [ chuckles ] quinn : i mean , whoever thought that you would be able to keep that promise that you were gon na one day give her that diamond ?

i 'm not hurting your phone . wyatt : no , this is how it all starts , okay ? you get involved , you get obsessed . we 're done with that . do you understand ? quinn : i understand , but ... your life is my life . wyatt : no . it 's not . quinn : well , what do i have if i do n't have you ? liam : this ... power he has over you , i - i still -- i do n't understand it . hope : maybe it 's just that you do n't understand wyatt . liam : no , you -- you seem to have this -- this limitless tolerance for being manipulated by him . you -- you agreed that the diamond was not something you could accept , and then he ambushes you in front of the press , and what do you do ? hope : it was a business decision that i had to make in that moment . it was for forrester . it was for the line . really , it does n't even affect you . liam : how -- how can you stand there and say that to me ? hope : you 're accusing wyatt of using the diamond to come between us , but i 'm right here ! i 'm standing right here in front of you , telling you that that 's not the case ! why is n't that proof enough for you ? liam , i love you . i love you , and i want you with me . please say that you 'll come . charlie : okay , there was a struggle , and then ... wyatt tackled him . pam : but , charlie , wyatt 's not a tackler , otherwise he would have tackled you that first time . charlie : mm - hmm . you have a point , my little chihuahua . but then why did ricardo die so young ? pam : i do n't know . banditos ? charlie : yeah , a bandito named wyatt . wyatt : so , what does your doctor say ? quinn : that i should keep a journal . wyatt : huh . and what 's the purpose of that ? quinn : to bring it in so we can discuss it . wyatt : i know i said some things to you that night that were probably very hurtful . quinn : i know you did n't mean them . wyatt : no , but what i did mean is that i do n't want us to have the same relationship that we had before . quinn : i understand . but you ca n't ask me not to care about you . wyatt : i 'm not asking that . quinn : then why is it so wrong that i think it 's wonderful that you 're going off to paris with the woman you love ? wyatt : nothing . it 's not . it 's not . it 's not wrong . quinn : the most romantic city in the world . wyatt : so they say . quinn : are you gon na marry hope there ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] liam : being in love is one thing , you know . alone in a bedroom , alone in a kitchen , alone anywhere with you , just the two of us . i mean , those have been ... my happiest days . but life goes on beyond these walls , and that 's the challenge . that ... i do n't know if i can keep living that way . hope : do you even know what you 're angry about ? liam : i would have used the word `` unhappy , `` but , uh ... hope : okay , well , you 're unhappy with me . liam : no , that 's -- hope : yes . yes , you are . you 're upset because i did n't do what you wanted me to do . liam : no , that 's -- hope : and i know it 's hard for you to say that , but we have to be clear on that . liam : i - i thought it was pretty clear that i was upset with wyatt , but -- hope : why ? why ? wyatt is wyatt . he made some crazy promise to give me that diamond , and he had the opportunity to actually do it , so he did . it 's really that innocent . that 's -- that 's just the way that he thinks . liam : [ chuckles ] it 's innocent . it 's innocent ? hope : wyatt had the chance to pull a publicity stunt boosting my line , and he took it , and it would have been very poor form for me to say no in front of all those reporters , and you know it . liam : and you honestly do n't think he was counting on exactly that ? hope : look , do i know what wyatt wants ? yeah . of course i do . but there 's nothing that i can do about it . it does not have to change anything for us . liam : i mean -- i mean , of course it changes things . look at us . here we are right now . we 're arguing over the diamond , and wyatt knows that . see , this is -- this is what i 'm saying to you . this is why you have to cancel this trip and give the diamond back before -- before it causes us any more trouble . hope : [ sighs ] rick : hope should be here by now . maya : you want me to call her ? aly : we know where she is . ivy : she 's not likely to forget that there 's a jet waiting for her . maya : what if liam makes her change her mind ? rick : hope 's not gon na back out . maya : you know , you would n't have to cancel the shoot if she does . oliver : gee , i wonder who could go instead . maya : certain people are against me around here . but you know you can count on me if you need me . always . rick : i love my wife . you got to admit it was quite a stroke of genius to have her go home and pack for me , though , right ? ivy : [ laughs ] rick : right ? i mean , come on . wyatt : i need you to listen to me , okay ? quinn : i always do . wyatt : hope and i are not together anymore . you used to know that . quinn : yeah , i was the reason . wyatt : can we not get into that right now , please ? let 's not get into that . quinn : i just thought since you gave her the diamond -- wyatt : i was n't trying to buy her , mom ! quinn : but it 's just such a huge gesture ! wyatt : well , thinking too far ahead always gets me in trouble . quinn : it 's just , who in the history of the world does anything like that ? wyatt : mom , she 's not here with me now , is she ? quinn : no , she 's packing ! wyatt : no , she 's with liam . quinn : are you sure ? i mean , he -- he ca n't be too happy with her . wyatt : that is none of your business . quinn : you should call her . wyatt : for what ? quinn : for a ride to the airport . wyatt : [ sighs ] quinn : and for information . wyatt : i do n't need any information ! why kind of information do i need , huh ? quinn : well , if she 's with liam and she is not answering her phone , that kind of information . hope : you think i 'm being duped ? liam : yes . hope : liam , i am doing this for me . i 'm doing this for the young women who look up to me , who have probably been told maybe to `` stay out of the boardroom while the grownups are talking `` or `` it 's probably better off if you just stay in beauty school , honey . `` look , i ... [ sighs ] i know that i 'm not saving the world over here , but my work is important to me . liam : i know . hope : okay . liam : of course -- of course i know . you are amazing and gorgeous and brainy and kind , and you are a visionary in your own way , and you are so persuasive , and you are such a good salesperson that you can talk yourself into believing anything . but do n't you see a pattern here ? he talks you into doing what he wants you to do , and then he gets you to think that it was your idea . hope : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] you still keep it in the same place . [ sighs ] our wedding rings . you ever wonder if they still fit ? liam : i do n't see why they would n't . do you want to take them ? hope : yes . liam : to ... paris ? hope : yes . so you can put this on my finger while we 're there . finally . ivy : you know what ? i 'm not sure about all this . aly : about what ? ivy : just the wisdom of it all . oliver : a shoot in paris ? ivy : has anyone actually heard from hope ? aly : that could be good or not so good . oliver : i 'm sure she and liam have a lot to discuss . ivy : what do you think the chances are she 'll cancel this trip ? oliver : slim to none , if you ask me . aly : she could be rethinking . maybe that 's what 's taking so long . oliver : when hope commits to something , she stays committed . ivy : and what was her first loyalty ? do we know that ? aly : liam . ivy : well , this diamond 's gon na test that hypothesis , wo n't it ? aly : it 's just wyatt doing what he always does . ivy : is it ? and somehow hope 's the only one who does n't see this pattern ? [ cell phone rings ] liam : oh , please , please , take it . it could be important . hope : hi . wyatt : hi . uh , do you know what time we take off yet ? hope : i 'm still waiting to hear from rick . wyatt : well , uh , i 'm just about ready if you want me to come by and pick you up . hope : oh , i can get myself to the airport . wyatt : oh . okay . uh , are you still ... ? hope : yeah . wyatt : well , i got a feeling that , uh , you know , this is all going down , so we -- we better get shaking . hope : okay . see you soon . wyatt : bye . i should n't have called . quinn : it 's never wrong to let her know you 're thinking about her . wyatt : mom , i was checking up on her , and she knows it . god . liam : what did he want ? hope : travel plans . liam : does he know you 're here ? hope : yeah . i told him i would be . liam : great . wonder how long before he calls back . hope : [ sighs ] he 's not plotting . he did n't ask for anything . liam : he gave you a diamond the size of a golf ball . hope : do you see me wearing it ? do you see it on me anywhere ? liam : this is not the same as giving you jewelry . this is like giving you a house . no , this is like giving you an island . and you really think he expects nothing in return ? hope : yes , that 's what i think . but if i 'm wrong -- if i am -- why does it matter ? who cares ? i 'm committed to you , remember ? liam : yeah , well , he 's kind of already collecting . i mean , here we are having what is possibly the most important conversation of our adult lives , and you interrupt it to take a phone call . hope : you told me to ! liam : that 's not the point . this is really the future you want for us ? because i do n't want that . hope : [ sighs ] god , we just keep going around and around . liam : i know we are . hope : please , liam . please come with me . liam : i have responsibilities , hope . i - i ca n't just drop everything on a dime and go flying to paris . hope : [ sighs ] liam : you 're really going ? hope : so many priests and justices of the peace , and i have never actually gotten to wear this thing . liam : [ chuckles ] hope : but i want to . i really want to . but only if you put it on my finger . two days . two days -- that should be enough time for you to clear your schedule here and meet me in paris . we 'll be done with the shoot . we 'll be done with the press conference . i 'll make sure of it . you remember the last time we were in paris together ? our special spot ? liam : yeah , by the eiffel tower . it 's kind of hard to forget . hope : so meet me there ... day after tomorrow . okay , you ca n't say yes right now . i - i understand that . you have to think about it . but please know that my mind is clear . i 'll even consider giving the diamond back to wyatt . 3 : 00 p.m. , day after tomorrow . meet me there after we wrap . liam : will he be there ? hope : i 'm not his keeper . will you be there ? liam : what if i am ? hope : then it 's the beginning of the rest of our lives . of the life that we 've always wanted . in our special spot . i love you .

[ scene_break ] ridge : guess we never really talked about it before . caroline : [ sniffles ] well , we were just busy having fun , you know , and getting to know each other and ... god , and we were dealing with everything . dealing with rick and everything at work and ... [ sighs ] it kind of felt like ... now would be a good time to start at least talking about it . and i know that it 's so , so overwhelming because , trust me , the idea of being a mother absolutely terrifies me , but ... [ voice breaking ] the idea of not getting to be one really scares me . ridge : i completely understand that . and i think ... you would make a wonderful mother . caroline : thank you for saying that . ridge : well , i mean it . caroline : i think just the accident really put things in perspective for me , you know ? i 'm just so grateful for every day and for every little moment , you know ? but ... before you know it , five years passes by and then -- and then 10 and ... and i think that 's when you start thinking about , like ... the things that you wish you would have done and how much you wish you would have had , and i know , for me ... that 's a family . and i see you with your kids , and i see how important they are to you and -- and how much joy they bring you and ... i really want that . i mean , is that something you would consider ? would you consider having ... would you consider having a child with me ? [ sniffles ] ridge : if i were 20 years younger , i would have a thousand children with you . i just ... i ca n't see myself being a father again . [ scene_break ] zende : the disco ball is an interesting touch , right ? nicole : [ chuckles ] yeah . this reminds me of my high school prom . [ laughs ] they dimmed the lights , put on a cheesy slow jam , and then all of the teachers were scouting , trying to make sure nobody got too freaky . zende : ooh . they did n't have to worry about nicole , though , right ? nicole : oh , no , of course not . i mean , i was an absolute angel . zende : ooh , i bet . i bet you were . nicole : [ chuckles ] we did not have a disco ball , though . my school was kind of low budget . you have one at yours ? zende : i would n't know . nicole : oh , too cool to notice ? zende : no . i did n't go . nicole : you did n't go to prom ? zende : nope . but it 's never too late . may i ? nicole : thought you 'd never ask . singer : from all the games the world is playing i 'm on my knees and when i 'm near you , skies are clear zende : what ? who 's leading here ? me or you ? nicole : me . get used to it . zende : [ laughs ] singer : reason for words because i 'm too far gone i 'd be lost without you and loving you could never feel wrong [ scene_break ] ridge : i do n't want to hurt you . that 's the last thing i 'd ever want . caroline : i know that . ridge : hey , i - i want your life to be fulfilled . i want you to have everything that you ever wanted . if i lose you , that 's ... that 's gon na kill me . caroline : i do n't want to lose you , either . ridge : so what do we do ? caroline : i really want a child . i want to be a mother . [ sniffles ] you know , and i know going into this that there was an age difference and that -- that we had different life experiences , and [ sniffles ] -- and i really do n't want you to think this is an ultimatum , because that 's not what it 's supposed to be . i do n't want you to think that you 've led me on or ... 'cause you 've always been honest . [ sniffles ] and i think that if i 'm being honest with myself , a part of me always knew that you felt this way . but if there is any chance that , even the slightest chance that the door might be open , i just had to know . and i 'm realizing now that it 's -- it 's not . [ sniffles ] and it 's hard for me to hear . but if i have to choose between being a mom and being with you ... ... i 'm gon na always choose you . [ scene_break ] brooke : your father 's grown in the last few years . his helicopter accident , difficulty recovering -- it 's really been very humbling . it 's made an impact on his life . so you might be surprised . he and caroline might end up together for a very long time . thomas : i hope you 're right . i do . caroline 's special . you know , she 's one of the most extraordinary women that i have ever met . she deserves some stability in her life , you know , a guy who will stick around , let her shine and be whoever she wants to be . brooke : ridge respects her . he supports her . he would never keep her from doing something she wanted to do . thomas : that 's the fantasy . the adventure . and then it all starts to turn , and it all ends the same way . it ends in tears . [ scene_break ] caroline : [ sobs ] | caroline tries to do a little sketching at home but is a little down . ridge says he is sorry . he knows there is nothing happy about getting a divorce . she says she knows and both she and rick have moved on in new relationships and are happier now , so she should have expected this . it 's just hard to let go of this vision for what she had planned for her life . he jokes she can look on the bright side he no longer is sleeping with a married woman . brooke confides in thomas that ridge can be pretty intense at times but she is glad he apologized to thomas . ridge pushes those he loves to do their best . thomas just wonders if he has caroline 's best interest at heart . and if being involved with his dad is her smartest move but maybe he is just being too protective . he comments ridge leaves women .he did it to brooke and he did it to his own mother . he does n't want to see caroline get hurt like that . brooke makes mention that perhaps he has feelings too for caroline . thomas laughs that off and says he remembers when she first came to town and they dated for a while but then moved on . brooke says but she is not married now . thomas says that would be going after the woman that his dad is with . that is nasty , he would not do that game . brooke assures him that ridge has grown a lot in the last few years . he has had a few major impacts on his life . thomas hopes so as caroline is special and does not deserve another heartbreak in her life . she deserves a guy who will stick around . brooke says but ridge is supportive and he would never keep her from doing what she wanted . thomas says that is the fantasy and adventure but then it starts to turn and goes away and leaves her in tears . |
liam : come back to me , steffy . quinn 's never gon na stop . she 's never gon na change . and wyatt is guilty in this , too , by the way . how many times have you asked him , begged him to keep her away from you , and how many times has he failed you ? come home to me . wyatt : i do n't know what my mom was thinking . she made it sound like there was something genuine , something mutual going on . and given my mom 's history , i -- eric : it 's the truth . wyatt : [ scoffs ] i do n't think you understand , eric . she made it sound like you two were a couple . eric : is that something you 'd object to ? ridge : tell me exactly what steffy said . thomas : that quinn was in monte carlo . ridge : to be with eric ? thomas : she followed him there . steffy sounded really upset . ridge : i 'm upset ! what did dad get himself into now ? ridge : i ca n't believe this . thomas : granddad and quinn . ridge : what else did steffy tell you ? thomas : we did n't talk for very long . she just said that she could n't handle much more of this . ridge : of course , she ca n't handle it . look at what quinn did to liam . now she 's after my dad ?

[ chuckles ] eric : she 's a good mother , a terrific businesswoman . she started that jewelry business from nothing , had a lot of challenges along the way . she made some bad choices along the way , too . but she 's changed , wyatt . i can see that . wyatt : yeah , but from steffy 's point of view , the fact that she was with you in the first place , it shows us that she has n't . if she was targeting you -- eric : that 's not what happened . that 's not what happened at all . she came to me asking for her job back . we got talking . and we began to enjoy each other . it was mutual , wyatt . nothing malicious about it . just two people connecting , all right ? i told all this to steffy , but she would n't listen . she 's too upset . wyatt : trust me . i am well aware of that . eric : quinn coming here , being with me , i do n't want that to cause trouble between you and steffy . liam : think about where you 'd be right now if it were n't for quinn . this -- this tattoo -- this is not a reminder of your commitment to wyatt . it 's a mark of deceit . quinn may as well have branded you herself . it 's time to make it right , steffy . it 's time to come back to me , to our home , to our life together . i know you want this as much as i do . thomas : maybe quinn and granddad is good thing . ridge : are you nuts ? what 's possibly good about that ? thomas : it might help steffy realize how she really feels about this marriage with wyatt . ridge : steffy knows how she feels . she 's gon na stick with her marriage . thomas : no , no , no , no . that was before quinn started ignoring everything that she said . let 's face it . steffy is with wyatt because she thought that liam completely abandoned her . it 's true . they 're together right now because of what quinn did to liam . ridge : they 're together right now because your sister loves wyatt . thomas : sure . but compared to how she feels about liam ? i just ca n't help but feel that quinn is ruining this for her son . ridge : how ? by being with my dad ? thomas : exactly . quinn is just ignoring everything that steffy told her to do . i think this could be the final straw that pushes her back to liam . quinn : thank you . i 'm never going to forget our night in monte carlo . steffy : excusez - moi . excuse me . excuse me ! excusez - moi ! madame ! madame !

[ bell dings ] ladies and gentleman , once again , we do request that you please return to your seats and make sure that your seatbelts are securely fastened . thank you . ridge : so you think this will make steffy leave wyatt ? thomas : i would be surprised if it did n't . ridge : because quinn wants to be with my dad ? it has nothing to do with steffy or wyatt . thomas : sure it does . quinn is blatantly ignoring everything that steffy is telling her to do . ridge : it has nothing to do with that ! this is about money , about job security , about the forrester bank account . nothing to do with steffy . this is about quinn and quinn alone . thomas : you 're probably right . but this is all going to backfire . because if there is anything that would make steffy give up on her marriage with wyatt and go back to liam , this would be it . quinn : i am so done with quinn and her lunatic behavior . i know she 's your mother , wyatt , but if she goes anywhere near my family or forrester ever again ... look at what she 's done ! to you , me , liam ! and now she targets my grandfather ? it 's all quinn 's doing . i do n't know how much more i can take , wyatt . liam : steffy , do n't you want a life without quinn ? steffy : [ crying ] of course . liam : without her craziness ? you think this is working ? steffy : i -- liam : crying all the time , living like this ? steffy : no . wyatt 's gon na demand that -- that she stays away . liam : that 's -- steffy , that is what he demands every time , and every time it does n't work . look what she did with your grandfather . steffy : no , but that 's -- that 's over . that 's over . liam : how ? steffy : i 'll make sure of it . liam : how is that -- how are you gon na make sure of that ? nobody -- steffy : i do n't know . i do n't know ! he 'll tell her to move away , whatever it takes . i do n't know . liam : listen to me . here 's what it takes . you get out . you leave him and you get out and you move on because every minute that you stay in this marriage , you make yourself vulnerable to -- steffy , if anything happened to you ... i ca n't -- i ca n't -- i ca n't do that . i ca n't let it . okay ? i need to be the one protecting you the way he has n't . i need to love you the way he has n't . you have honored this ridiculous marriage long enough . come back to me . come back to me . come back to me . | liam pleads with steffy to come home with him . quinn will always be there to harm her and he blames wyatt too with as many times as she has asked him to keep his mother away . this is it , monte carlo , right now the place that she needs to come back to him . he wants her to think where she would be right now if not for quinn and that tattoo on her finger . he begs again for her to come home with him and he knows she feels that way too . ridge tells thomas that yes he is upset . what has his dad got himself into now ? they were not paying attention enough to eric but he does not want to call ; he needs to see his dad in person . thomas says steffy does not know how much more she can take and he does not think it is just about quinn but her marriage as well . eric tells wyatt that he knows he was not expecting this but he really enjoys his mother , but it is over now for steffy 's sake . he sees the good in quinn and he knows wyatt does too . she is a good mother and a good business woman but his family must always come first . she did not target eric . it was mutual , nothing malicious . he told that to steffy but she did not listen . thomas and ridge differ on what steffy feels . ridge tells thomas this is all about quinn and her job security and money , nothing to do with his dad . |
thomas : hope ! i mean it ! open the damn door ! liam : do n't listen to him . do n't ever listen to him again . thomas knew . hope : about phoebe ? liam : not about phoebe . about beth . our daughter never died , hope . she 's alive . ridge : you want me to stay with phoebe and douglas while you take kelly to the doctor ? steffy : oh , thanks , but tiffany 's on her way . she 's been a big help when amelia 's not available . ridge : are you okay ? steffy : yeah , yeah . it 's -- it 's just a lot . all of a sudden , you hear phoebe is beth . but flo will talk to liam , she 'll straighten everything out . she 'll put it to rest . and i 'll never have to hear it again . flo : please say something , wyatt . anything ! scream at me , call me names . just do n't -- just do n't look at me like that . do n't -- do n't look at me like you do n't even know me . wyatt : but -- but i do n't ! that 's the thing . the flo that i know is honest and honorable . like , she -- she would n't be a part of a kidnapping and then lie about it for months ! to hope and liam ? to steffy ? to me ? flo , to me . flo : i am so sorry . i know that 's not enough . wyatt : `` sorry `` is not nearly enough . i do n't even know what to do with this . we believed that beth was dead , that steffy adopted a baby that you supposedly gave birth to , phoebe , but then -- but then it 's all a lie . flo : you 'll never know how much i hated keeping this secret , wyatt . wyatt : but you did ! every single day , you went merrily about your life . but then you were lying to -- to all of us ! how could you let this happen ? like , zoe -- zoe 's dad stole my brother 's baby and then sold it ! what happened ? what happened to make you the kind of person that could do that ? [ phoebe crying ] ridge : liam 's always been so level - headed . why is buying into this douglas fantasy ? steffy : liam was shattered when he lost beth . he 's been suffering in silence ever since . of course he 's desperate to believe that she 's still alive . ridge : to think that phoebe 's beth , that 's a little out there . steffy : liam will be fine . flo will tell him about the mix - up at the hospital , or whatever happened . yes , you 're my little girl . my beautiful , precious baby . [ giggles ] ridge : oh ! steffy : we came into each other 's lives for a reason . i 'm your mommy . yeah ! i 'm your mommy , phoebe . we belong together . and that 's never gon na change . thomas : hope ! open the door ! there 's got to be a key . hope : beth 's alive ? liam : yes . she 's been with us the whole time . hope : as phoebe . liam : yes , and thom -- and thomas knew . he knew , and he kept it from you . hope : no ... liam : yes ! yes ! he took advantage of your broken heart , but , here 's the thing , hope , your heart does n't have to be broken anymore because we got our miracle ! she 's alive ! our daughter is alive ! i mean , why do you think you and i have felt this magical connection to phoebe this whole time ? because she 's ours , hope ! hope : liam . liam . liam : just come with me . come with me to see our daughter . you take one look at her , and , trust me ... you 'll know . wyatt : how , flo ? i do n't understand . how -- how could you do this ? flo : anything i say to you right now is just gon na sound like an excuse . wyatt : well , try . flo : when zoe 's dad said that he needed my help , i did n't know what i was getting myself into . wyatt : pretending to be the birth mom of a child you did n't actually have is a pretty specific request . flo : i did n't know that 's what he wanted me to do at first . he just told me to trust him , and , stupidly , i did . wyatt : oh , my god , flo ... flo : wyatt , you got to believe me . i got too deep , too fast in all of this , and i did n't see a way out . and then i met hope , and it was like torture watching her just in agony every single day over this baby that she -- wyatt : but why did n't you stop it ? flo : i tried ! wyatt : you had the power . three words -- beth is alive ! flo : i tried to tell her so many times ! wyatt : yeah , well , you did n't try hard enough , obviously . flo : because every single time i tried , somebody got in my way . reese , zoe , thomas ... wyatt : [ sighs ] flo : they kept telling me that -- that even though it 's horrible , it all worked out , that beth was in a loving home with liam and steffy and that hope could be a mother to douglas . they told me that if i said a word about any of it that i would ruin everything . wyatt : you 'd be ruining it by telling two grieving parents that their child is n't really dead ? flo : i know . reese and zoe and i , we -- we would have gone to prison . wyatt : [ sighs ] flo : i would have lost everything , wyatt . i would have lost you . and i know that sounds horrible and selfish . but you wanted me to explain and try to make you understand , that 's what i 'm trying to do . wyatt : well , keep trying . flo : when thomas found out , he did n't want anyone getting in the way of being with hope , so ... he started threatening us . and he said that if we said a word about any of it to anyone that -- that he would destroy us . and then he started personally threatening my life , many times , and i did n't know what to do . i was so scared . please , wyatt , you -- you have to try to find a way to forgive me . please . i did n't -- i did n't mean for any of this to happen . we -- we ca n't end like this ! i know that you 're disappointed , i know that you 're mad , and you have every -- you have every right to be . but it 's me . i 'm -- i am still the same person that you fell in love with . wyatt : okay , but -- flo : i am ! i am , and -- when i got on that flight to l.a. , i had no idea this is what i was getting involved with . wyatt : but that 's -- that 's the thing . how many chances did you have ? how many months did you let this travesty go on ? like , if you could n't tell hope and liam , fine . but you could have told me . like , you should have told me . flo , if you loved me that much , you should have told me the truth . flo : i know . ridge : this has thrown you for a loop , has n't it ? steffy : mm , yeah . liam thinks things in the most logical ways , but ... he believes phoebe 's beth . ridge : look at me . liam is wrong . and , yeah , the idea of the doctor not knowing flo , that 's -- that 's a little strange , but there 's an explanation for it . it does n't mean that beth is alive . i 'm not blaming liam . he 's -- he 's going through a lot . he 's trying to figure this out . losing a kid is awful . you try to work through things , and those -- those ways are n't always logical . steffy : my brain agrees with you , but ... my stomach 's in knots . ridge : i get that . beth is gone . your daughter phoebe , she 's asleep right over there . hope : thomas ! thomas : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? get away from my wife ! hope : thomas ! liam : you lying son of a bitch . hope : thomas ! thomas ! look at me ! look at me ! what liam is saying , is it true ? liam : go ahead , thomas . now 's your chance . tell the truth , for once in your life . thomas : i am warning you , back off ! liam : do you see this , hope ? he 's not denying it . he is using your grief to manipulate you because that 's what a sick bastard like this thinks love is . thomas : do n't listen to him , okay ? he 's just trying to turn you against me with these ridiculous accusations . you are the lying son of a bitch ! liam : tell that to your son . hope : liam ! liam ! thomas : no ! no , come on . hope : no , thomas ! what is wrong with you ? thomas : this way ! this way ! hope : let me go ! liam ! thomas : go ! hope : liam ! wyatt : i -- i do n't know . i ca n't wrap my head around how you could do something like this . hope is your cousin . liam is my brother . they 're family . there are so many people that are affected by this ! flo : i messed up . i should have told hope and liam the minute i found out that their baby was alive . wyatt : i 'm -- i saw a future with you . the one that we used to dream about in high school . do you remember that ? only better . like , we would one day have a family , and -- flo : we can still have that . we can . i -- maybe not now . maybe not soon , but ... i hope that i can find a way to prove that you can trust me again . wyatt : but how -- how do we even do that ? you know what i mean ? all these months , like -- you 've been smiling in our faces while withholding this -- this , like , the most vital information imaginable . i just -- i did n't know that this -- this is the person that you could be . flo : i could n't believe it , either , but ... this secret , it just became bigger and bigger , and it took on a life of its own , and it felt like there was absolutely no way out . god , i have -- i have hated how i have felt these last few months . just like trapped and helpless . but , you know what ... i am glad . i am glad that it 's finally out . because it 's like i can finally breathe again . wyatt : [ sighs ] god , you know what ... i mean , this -- this woman that 's standing in front of me ... this is n't the person that i trusted . it 's not the woman that i loved . ridge : honey . i wish you were n't going through this . but it is temporary . steffy : mm . ridge : liam has to face the facts . he and hope , they lost their beautiful daughter on a stormy night in catalina . beth is gone . phoebe is alive and well and sleeping in your nursery , and you are the only mother she 'll ever know . hope : let me go ! stop ! thomas : i ca n't ! i wo n't lose you , okay ? i 've been through too -- we just have to go , okay ? and then you 'll see how much i love you . hope : this -- this is n't love , thomas . thomas : i had to get you away from liam . hope : but what he said -- thomas : it 's a lie . it 's a lie . he 's trying to sabotage us , and i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na let that happen . hope : no , but to say that beth is alive , he -- thomas : it 's outrageous . it 's outrageous ! okay ? it 's a lie ! he 's trying to screw up your head ! all right ? he 's messing with you , and i wo n't allow that . hope : you hit him ! thomas : he deserved it . you 're my wife ! he ca n't lock you in a room and then fill your head with lies ! hope : who are you ? no ! thomas : i 'm your husband . i 'm your husband , okay ? i 'm your husband , and you have to believe me , okay ? you ca n't believe liam . you can't . you ca n't , okay ? he 's just trying to make me look bad . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to scare you , okay ? i 'm sorry , i just -- i love you so much . hope : thomas ... you say you love me ... thomas : i love , i do . more than you know . hope : okay , then -- then you need to tell me the truth about beth . i promise -- i promise i wo n't get mad at you . i promise , i wo n't leave you . thomas : forget about beth and forget about liam ! wyatt : i 'm just -- i 'm -- i 'm questioning everything right now . your character , my judgment . i mean , i -- i could never be with someone so callous . and then , there i was ... with you , i was in it with you . i was all - in with you . flo : please do n't blame yourself , wyatt . this is me . i should have told you the truth . i should n't have let everyone talk me out of it . i should -- i should have just gone back to vegas like i originally planned . wyatt : why did n't you ? flo : because of you ! because i ran into you . the only man i ever loved ! and you helped me find my father and the logans and ... walking away from all of it just seemed unthinkable . it was so hard , wyatt . i wanted to tell hope so many times . but i knew if i did that i would -- i would lose everything . i -- wyatt : no ! no , do n't you see ? if you had said something , you would have been a hero . you would have been a hero to all of us . flo : my mom told me to just -- just live in the moment . and you and i , we -- we had been apart for so long , i could n't -- i could n't stand the thought of losing you again . but i did . did n't i ? i did . i knew i would . it does n't matter . i 'm probably gon na go to jail anyway . i mean , why would -- why would hope and liam forgive me ? they 're -- they 're gon na hate me . everyone is gon na hate me . but i brought this all on myself . i always knew that there would be consequences . but the only important thing right now is hope , liam , and beth . putting their family back together again , and now that the truth is out , hope can finally be a mother to her child . [ phoebe babbling ] steffy : shh , shh , shh , shh . yeah . mommy . [ sighs ] mommy 's here , phoebe . mommy 's here . mommy 's right here . liam : [ groans ] hope : liam ! thomas , do n't ! thomas , stop it ! stop !

[ grunting ] liam : tell her . tell her you 've been lying to her . tell her how you 've been keeping her daughter from her ! tell her ! hope : oh , my god . liam : [ grunts ] [ groaning ] no ! hope : liam ! liam : [ groans ] [ panting ] hope : it 's true . beth is alive . liam : yes . hope : [ sobbing ] but how can that be ? i held her , she was dead in my arms ! liam : that was n't our beth , hope . our beth is alive . we -- we know her ! we have from the beginning . hope : she 's alive ? liam : she 's phoebe . she 's phoebe . steffy 's had her this whole time . i mean , it 's not steffy 's fault . none of this is on her . she did n't know , but -- we 're gon na have our family back . hope : [ cries ] oh , my god ! liam : whoa , whoa . hey , hey ! whoa , whoa , whoa ! hope : oh , my god , our beth is alive ! liam : yes , she 's alive . she 's alive and well . hope : [ laughs ] she 's alive ! oh ! [ laughs ] liam : she 's alive . hope : [ laughing ] | liam tells hope do not answer the door , and then he blurts out their daughter did not die . hope can not comprehend that . but liam rants on and on that beth did not die . she is alive and now they both know why they were so drawn to phoebe and have this bond . this is their daughter . and thomas knew and kept it from her . she wo n't believe that . he says thomas took advantage of her grief but beth is alive and they have their miracle . he asks her to come with him . just take one look at phoebe and she will know that is their beth . ridge offers to watch phoebe while steffy takes kelly to her doctor visit . she holds phoebe and says this is her precious little girl and they will ask flo and get her to explain the discrepancy . this can not be beth . he admits it is a little strange that the doctor would not identify flo . he 's not blaming liam as it is tough losing a child but they will all figure this out . she says her brain agrees but her stomach is in knots . he hugs her and says beth is gone but her little phoebe is right over there . thomas keeps beating on the door with liam still explaining to hope , until thomas finally breaks in the door . he and liam have a stare off . finally thomas comes charging toward liam and pushes him and tells him to back off . hope is his wife now . hope jumps in between to keep them apart . she asks thomas if liam is telling her the truth about beth being alive and him knowing it . thomas calls liam a lying son of a bitch . liam says tell that to his son . thomas knocks liam in the jaw and he falls to the floor . then he grabs hope and runs out the door . flo tells wyatt that she got in too fast and could not get out . she says she wishes she could do it all over again . she tried to tell some that beth was alive but zoe or xander always came in between . then thomas found out and he threatened her that he would destroy her life . she did not know what to do . she begs him for a way to forgive her . she keeps saying she is still the same person he fell in love with . wyatt reminds her this is his family ; liam is his brother so this affects almost everyone around him . she still cries that she hopes he can forgive her and know how sorry she is . she is glad he found out as now she can breathe again . he says she is not the woman he loved and he sees no way they can stay together and have that baby that she wants now . flo tells wyatt that she knows it is not enough but she is so sorry she kept the secret and let everyone think beth had died . he ca n't imagine what kind of person would do that . thomas knocks liam down and grabs hope and rushes her to the roof . she is begging him to let her go . he says no , she has to forget beth and liam . he is her husband now and if she gets back with liam he will only get her in a room and tell her more lies . wyatt tells flo that he is questioning everything right now , her integrity and his judgment . she tells him again that she wanted to tell but she knew she would lose him . he says no , she would have been a hero to everyone . she says it does not matter now . she probably will go to jail . she always knew there would be consequences . all that matters now is hope and beth . |
( doorbell ) stephanie . stephanie : hello , macy . macy : yeah , i was just right in the middle of something . stephanie : wedding plans , perhaps ? macy : i guess you heard . stephanie : yes . amber and rick told me . macy , you 're really going to marry deacon ?

stephanie : you have every right -- every right to be angry with thorne , but does it really make sense to compound his mistake by making one of your own ? macy the only mistake i made was trusting your son again . stephanie : no , i think the mistake you 'll make is if you -- if you marry deacon of the i mean , why do you want to be involved with a man that 's brought nothing but heartache and trouble to every single woman he 's ever been involved with ? macy : i think i could say the same thing about thorne . stephanie : no , macy . the difference is thorne is n't malicious . he made a mistake , a terrible mistake , but he made it because he thought he had lost you . macy : and now he has . look , i 'm sorry , stephanie , i know you mean well but what thorne did , sleeping with my best friend and then asking me to adopt the baby -- stephanie : ca n't you find it in your heart to forgive him ? is n't that one of the tenants of aa , forgiveness ? macy : yes , it is . and hopefully one day i 'll be able to forgive him , but let 's not confuse that with forgetting . stephanie : this is something you never forget . i understand that . but talk to him , macy . just one conversation . no expectations , no pressure . thorne : okay , robert , i want the photos displayed all over the room and the flowers everywhere . robert : the florist just arrived . thorne : agree , great . robert : will there be anything else ?

the things i did , the people that i hurt in the past , c.j . , it 's nothing to be proud of , all right ? but that does n't mean that people ca n't change . c.j . : i see . and you 're looking for macy to help you could that ? deacon : ca n't you see , she already has ? c.j . : great , great . that is so great . because that is exactly what macy needs right now , another loser looking for a woman to help himself grow up . macy has been there and done that . she ca n't save you from yourself , man . she 's got her own issues to deal with . deacon : i was kind of hoping i could help her out with those . c.j . : oh , really , like you helped her diffuse the situation between her and brooke ? you 've got rick and brooke fighting her for their kids , man . deacon : they 're the ones that turned this into a fight . c.j . : they put a restraining order on her , deacon . deacon : i ca n't help they overreacted . c.j . : they would n't have if you were n't involved in the situation . do n't you get it ?

i 'm not going to change my mind . stephanie : or are you afraid that he might be able to change your mind ? macy : i 'm marrying deacon . stephanie : well , fine . if your resolve is that strong , then what harm will it do ? -- what harm will it do ? macy : i 'm not going to be backed into corner , stephanie . i love deacon , and as much as i 'm touched by your concern , i really do n't appreciate being told how to conduct my personal life . stephanie : macy , you know how thorne feels about you . macy : well , he has a funny way of showing it . you know , we do n't have the greatest history . stephanie : but that 's behind you . macy : yes and it 's getting further and further behind me all the time . i 'm moving forward , stephanie . i 'm not going to pick through the ruins of my relationship with thorne and try to some advantage something positive out of all this disappointment . i deserve better . stephanie : i know you do . you do , absolutely . but you 're not going to find that kind of happy nest with deacon . that man is n't worth the dirt you walk on .

[ sighs ] i could n't leave things the way it ended . wyatt : the way that liam left it . he 's the one who walked out on you . hope : he was hurt . wyatt : because you did n't kowtow to him like he expected . you did what was best for the line . hope : but i did not do what was best for my relationship with my fiancé . aly : why are you hesitating ? you want to be with hope . liam : [ chuckling ] i know . i know . it 's just not that simple . i mean , i - i asked her to give the diamond back . she said she understood , she was ready to do it , and then wyatt just pulls out this press - conference stunt . aly : hope was on the spot . what choice did she really have but to accept it ? liam : she could have told him to go to hell . aly : that 's not our hope . liam : yeah , well , a guy can dream . ivy : so , what now ? aly : i 'll tell you what now . you call hope , tell her you 're catching the next flight to paris . that will wipe the smug smile off of wyatt 's face . ivy : no , because this is n't really about wyatt anymore , is it ? it 's about whether going to hope will actually change anything or not . aly : how can it not change things ? especially if hope gives that diamond back to wyatt after the photo shoot . that would be huge , right ? the thing that caused all this wo n't be an issue anymore , and -- liam : um ... ivy : what ? liam : [ chuckles ] i have this box in my house that i keep hope and my wedding bands in . well , last night , hope took hers . that 's why she wants me to meet her by the eiffel tower in our spot . aly : she wants you to put it on her finger in paris . liam , you have to go ! hope wants you there . you want to be there . do n't disappoint her or yourself . this could work out better than you ever hoped . wyatt : on second thought , you know , we should n't have this conversation right now . we 're going to paris . we 're gon na take paris by storm . hope : wyatt -- wyatt : no , seriously , hope , whatever number my brother did on you yesterday , i do n't want to hear it . hope : you know it was n't like that . wyatt : i know how he operates , how he gets all passive aggressive with you . hope : are you going to listen to me at all ? wyatt : are you gon na listen to me ? hope , i love you so damn much . hope : i know . wyatt : i have -- i have proven myself to you over and over again . all the times that i have been there for you when liam was n't , just like he did when he walked out on you yesterday . hope : okay , but you understand why he did that , right ? wyatt : no . i do n't know . i mean , where the hell does my brother get off telling you that he wants me and the diamond out of your life forever ? hope : you know that i would never let that happen . but you -- i ca n't pretend that liam does n't have a reason to be upset . he does . he absolutely does . wyatt : fine . let him have the feelings that he wants to have . but by me giving you this diamond , hope , i ... [ sighs ] i make a promise to you , and i keep it . my word means something to you . can you say the same thing about liam ? after all the times that he 's went back and forth between you and steffy ... hope : oh , steffy . yeah , steffy 's not an issue . wyatt : i do n't care . what he did at the press conference yesterday -- that was an issue . hope for the future is your line , not his . this diamond is yours , not his . and it 's gon na work its magic in paris and all over the world . i know you 're as amped about this whole thing as i am . hope : [ chuckles ] i am . i want this photo shoot to be amazing . of course i do . wyatt : right . the most beautiful woman ever with the most beautiful diamond ever . how could it not be ? okay ? and whatever this is ... we ca n't let this interfere in everything that 's gon na happen in paris . we have the photo shoot and the press conference and all of that . and that is the only thing that we have to focus on right now . well , it 's not the only thing i have to focus on right now . [ chuckles ] no . but once we conquer paris , maybe my paranoid bro might just think that me giving you this diamond is not such a bad idea after all . hope : [ chuckles ] wyatt , if i thought there was the slightest chance of that happening , then ... oh , wyatt , i have to give the diamond back . wyatt : hope , come on . wyatt : no . no . you know what ? let 's not have this conversation right now . when we get back to l.a. , i 'll sit down with my brother , and we 'll -- we 'll hash it all out . hope : well , uh , you might have that opportunity sooner than you think , because ... he 's on his way here . i asked him to meet me after the photo shoot . and i 'm hoping that when i leave paris , i will be wearing liam 's ring . oliver : great . look right in the camera . yeah , okay . bring your hair back so we can see the necklace . that 's great , that 's great . okay , one more . all right . that 's it . good , okay . thank you . oliver : thank you . oliver : you want to grab a cup ? aly : a - a cup ? what do you mean ? oliver : go get a coffee somewhere . aly : you do n't like the coffee here ? oliver : [ chuckles ] i do . i just ... you know , meant go out . aly : oh . um ... oh , i - i - i ca n't . i - i have a goldfish . oliver : you 're not good with compliments . aly : i 'm just not ... oliver : used to them ? [ cheers and applause ] aly : the carnation . who do you think he 's gon na give it to ? [ cheers and applause ] [ knock on door ] oliver : aly , hey . i was just on my way up to see you . aly : [ sighs ] oliver : it looks like someone could use a hug . aly : [ chuckles ] wyatt : i - i do n't get this . yesterday , you said that you were keeping the diamond . hope : yes . wyatt : but that 's what sent liam away . hope : well , because he thought -- wyatt : that i was hitting on you . i know . hope : no , no , no , no . wyatt : wait , no ? hope : i mean , yes , yes . that 's how he felt , but ... [ sighs ] okay , what you do n't know is that when i got to that press conference , i was on my way to return the diamond to you . wyatt : what ? hope : i - i had been talking to liam , and it was obvious how he felt about me keeping it , so i agreed to give it back , and then i walked in , and i did n't know you had called all those reporters . and -- and you were up on the stage making that big announcement about how the hope for the future diamond was back at forrester , and then you were presenting it to me . and i could n't say no , and i 'm sorry . you know what ? it just kind of took on a life of its own . wyatt : so , that 's why you went along . hope : i mean , i did n't just go along with it . i - i knew what it could do for the line , and i knew how excited you were about making that happen . wyatt : for you . hope , i was excited to make that happen for you . hope : i know , i know . but you know i ca n't accept a diamond from another man , especially this diamond and especially this man -- liam 's brother . oh , god . i 'm so sorry . i - i never should have let this go as far as it did . wyatt : with the diamond , you mean , or with asking liam to meet you in paris ? hope : [ sighs ] ivy : you know , paris is the most beautiful city in the world . and i would be on my way there right now if my work papers had come through . liam : you 're really disappointed , huh ? ivy : yeah . [ chuckles ] liam : uh . ivy : you know , photo shoots -- they 're a dime a dozen , but this particular one -- it 's just the fashion world is gon na go crazy , and not to mention a few gemologists . liam : you -- i 've noticed you really love what you do . ivy : [ chuckles ] you know , ever since i can remember , it 's just -- it 's always been about the bling , you know ? just admiring it , conceptualizing it , designing it . i just ... liam : yeah . well , forrester 's lucky to have you . ivy : oh . well , just like hope is very lucky to have you . liam : [ chuckles ] ivy : no , really . you 're -- you 're one of a kind , you know ? you 're strong and honorable to a fault . liam : this is -- this is how you see me ? ivy : yeah . yeah , you 're a -- you 're a gentlemen in every way . liam : thank you . thank you . i wish my brother saw it that way . god , it 's so obvious what he 's doing , is n't it ? [ sighs ] wyatt : so , how did you two leave things ? hope : leave what ? wyatt : well , you said that you were hoping that liam would show up . it does n't sound like he gave you a definitive answer . hope : [ sighs ] well , he needed time to think . wyatt : [ chuckles ] if i really wanted a future with you , i would be on a plane to paris in a shot . what , is this his way of teaching you a lesson ? hope : no , no . liam is n't like that . our relationship is n't like that . wyatt : mm . so , you 're saying that there is a possibility that he might not show . well , what will you do then ? hope : i ... no , i - i do n't believe that that 's gon na happen . wyatt : but what if it does ? what if he lets you down yet again ? that 's all i needed to know . [ beeps ] rick : this is rick , your pilot , speaking . might want to think about buckling up . we 're gon na be on the ground soon . hope : [ chuckles ] wyatt : hey , pilot . who 's flying the plane ? rick : it 's on autoland . wyatt : there 's no such thing as autoland . rick : really ? [ both chuckle ] hope : god . wyatt : look , this diamond has done so many great things for us in the past . and i 'm betting that it will again . no . you know what ? i 'm counting on it . oliver : sorry i got delayed . the shoot ran longer than i thought . aly : that 's okay . pam and donna are handling the calls now . oliver : it 's really that crazy ? aly : yeah . a photo shoot by the eiffel tower is huge . add hope and a legendary , priceless diamond to the mix , and -- oliver : and it 's one lucky photographer that gets to capture it all . aly : yeah , i still think my uncle ridge is being unfair not letting you go . oliver : no , no . it 's okay . you know , it just makes me want to prove myself even more so that when the next shoot comes along , i 'll be the guy he thinks about . and who needs paris , right ? l.a. 's got a lot going for it . aly : endless sunshine . oliver : i was thinking about a sweet , cute damsel who thinks that i am her knight in shining armor . aly : well , she sounds a little nerdy . [ chuckles ] oliver : i like nerdy . and i like her ... a lot . aly : well , she likes you ... a lot . oliver : how do you know ? aly : just do . ivy : what happens if you do n't go ? liam : i -- [ chuckles ] i do n't even know if i can . ivy : why ? because wyatt is manipulating hope and you think she 's letting him ? liam : well , i think wyatt is using the diamond , yeah . ivy : and hope is just too naive to see it . liam : hope says i wo n't lose her unless i push her away . ivy : that 's what she thinks you 're doing ? [ sighs ] look , do n't get me wrong . i really -- i respect hope , but ... i mean , to accept that diamond for any reason when she knew it was going to upset you this much -- i 'd never do something like that . of course , hope and i have been brought up in very different families . liam : [ chuckles ] ivy : extremely different mothers . i do n't know . maybe she 's more like brooke than she realizes . look , all that said , i can see that you love her . do n't let this stop you two from having a future together . go to paris , liam . go and meet hope in your special place and prove to wyatt that -- that you 're not gon na let him or a diamond ruin things for you and hope . hope : oh , god ! paris ! wyatt : oh , i know . it never gets old , right ? hope : nope . wyatt : oh , and rick made it to international , and he 's prepping everyone . hope : okay , good . wyatt : [ chuckles ] look , i know what you 're thinking . hope : yep . wyatt : yeah . hope : liam is going to meet me here . he 'll show up . wyatt : are we back to that again ? hope : what ? wyatt : waiting , wondering if he 'll show up , if he wo n't show up , is he upset , is he not upset ? this is crazy . this is the kind of relationship you have with this person . when are you gon na stop letting him do this to you ? hope : when are you gon na stop ? wyatt : i 'm just saying -- hope : stop . no . seriously . we 're here for a really wonderful shoot . and , yes , when we 're done with it , liam is going to meet me at our special spot by the eiffel tower . he 'll show up . [ sighs ] he 'll be here . | on the jet , rick tells wyatt that he knows this is a terrible time for thorne and taylor to go on vacation , but felicia has done pr before and she knows how important this shoot is . she will do fine , just trust him . she will deliver the goods . aly and ivy are handling all the overflow of phone calls when liam drops by . he says he knows hope is not there . she is on a plane going to paris with wyatt and the diamond . both girls sympathize with liam that wyatt made the move on his girl . they think it is time for him to make a move of his own . maybe he needs to go to paris and give mr. fuller a taste of his own medicine . he admits hope came to see him yesterday and she did invite him to come to paris and be there after the photo shoot . aly says that is the most romantic city in the world and should count for something . he needs to call hope and tell her that he is coming and that should wipe that smug smile off of wyatt 's face . liam admits also that he has this box at his house with the rings in them and hope took hers . that is why she wants him to meet her in their special spot in paris . aly says he has to go , do not disappoint hope or himself . this could work out better than he could ever imagine . wyatt sits by hope on the plane and she says there is something she needs to tell him . he knows it is something about liam and how he took the news . hope says she could not leave it like it was when liam walked out on the pc . wyatt says she did not kowtow to him but did what was best for the line . she says yes but she did not do what was best for the relationship with her fiance . she takes her ring out of her purse and looks at it . wyatt shifts gears and says they are heading to paris and now is not the time to talk about liam and his passive - aggressive behavior or what he did yesterday . he says that he loves her so damned much and he 's proven himself by always being there for her , unlike liam who was not yesterday . she believes liam has a reason to be upset but she knows that wyatt knows she would never kick him or the diamond out of her life . he says his word to her means something and she can not say that about liam . so let him have his feelings . this diamond is hers , not his and it is her line , not his . wyatt says the diamond is going to work it 's magic again for them . and with the most beautiful woman ever with the most beautiful diamond ever , it ca n't miss . he takes her ring and places it on the table besides them . he says they need to focus on the photo shoot , not that . she tells him that she will gladly wear it for the photo shoot . but she is sorry then she will have to give it back , she has to . wyatt says they are not having this conversation . when he gets back to l.a. he may have to have a little talk with his paranoid brother . she says he might get a chance before that . liam is on his way here . she invited him and she hopes when she leaves paris she will be wearing his ring . disappointment sets in on wyatt 's face . she explains that actually she was on her way to returning the diamond just before the press conference . then she walked in and saw all the reporters and wyatt called her on stage and presented it to her and she could not say no at that very moment . she says she is so sorry but she can not accept a diamond , not one like this from another man .and especially if that man is liam 's brother . she knows she should not have let this go as far as it did . wyatt asks how they left things . she said she hoped liam would show up but does n't sound like he gave her a definitive answer . she admits he needs time to think . wyatt scoffs that if he wanted a future with her he 'd be on that plane in a shot . maybe he is trying to teach her a lesson . she says no , their relationship is not like that . he wants to know what will happen if liam does not show . she does n't believe that will happen . wyatt says this diamond has brought so many together in the past and he is counting on that again . |

hope : mom . you wo n't believe what just happened . brooke : what ? [ gasps ] sweetheart , is that ... ? hope : it is . brooke : you and liam are engaged ? [ gasps ] oh , honey ! i knew it ! i knew his feelings for you did n't change . and the minute he found out you were pregnant with his child , they got even stronger . i -- i ca n't believe this . what did he do ? what did he say when he put this ring on you ? hope : he didn't . brooke : what ? hope : liam did n't put this ring on my finger , mom . steffy did . liam : that was , uh , quite a gesture . steffy : it was time . liam : steffy , you took your ring off and you gave it to hope . steffy : hope 's the woman you should be with , liam . liam : but if you felt that way , you should have said that . instead , you told hope she would be marrying me . that 's -- that 's something i should be doing . not you . zoe : this is completely mental . hiring me as a forrester model . this is just too amazing . xander : well , you should be excited , zoe . it 's a great gig . zoe : it 's beyond great . thorne , i ca n't thank you enough . thorne : just keep stepping up the way you did at the fashion show . you 're gon na be a great addition around here . i 'll get your paperwork started with hr . zoe : this is n't what either one of us expected , but i really hope you can be happy for me , xander . thorne : perfect . emma : did you just hire zoe ? thorne : yes . i was just on my way to hr . how did you know ? emma : you ca n't do that . thorne : i already did . emma : she sent those posts , crashed the fashion show . thorne : well , actually , she saved the show because she jumped in . emma : she was n't supposed to be there . thorne : yes , that is true , but it 's a good thing that she was . people are still talking about her . you have a problem with that . emma : zoe is xander 's ex - girlfriend . zoe : i do n't want you to be mad about this , xander . i did n't lie to you . harry and i were going back to london . i was packing when thorne stopped by to talk to me . i mean , i did n't even know he was going to offer me a job . xander : i get why he did . you crushed it on the runway . zoe : beginner 's luck . xander : thorne thinks you have potential . zoe : and i need to see if he 's right . this is an incredible opportunity for me , xander . i ca n't leave los angeles now . brooke : you and liam are engaged , but he did n't propose ? hope : steffy took off her ring and put it on my finger . she said that liam and i should be married . brooke : is that what liam wants ? hope : honestly , we were both too stunned to say anything . brooke : so steffy proposed to you for liam ? liam : steffy , when this whole thing started , i told you -- i told you i needed time to think . steffy : take all the time you need , but i made up my mind . liam : okay , but calling off the engagement is one thing . giving your ring to hope is ... not that . steffy : it was n't a ploy . i really believe you and hope will be happy together . liam : okay , but that decision , that one , needed to be mine . steffy : you made that decision in that dressing room with hope . and when i caught you together , i made mine . thorne : i get it , your relationship with xander makes this complicated for you . emma : it ca n't happen , thorne . zoe ca n't work here . thorne : emma , it 's -- it 's just business . we all have our jobs to do . i hired zoe . you 're gon na have to put your personal feelings aside . zoe : i 'd really like your support , xander . xander : i know . zoe : well , no pressure . i already took the job . i 'm not giving up no matter what you say . but it would be a lot more fun if we do n't have to avoid each other in the halls . xander : it wo n't be like that . i 'm just a little worried about how emma 's gon na react . zoe : the teeny - bopper ? why do you care what she thinks ? xander : because she 's a sweet , talented person who means something to me . zoe : uh - huh . xander : i 'd like it if we could all get along . zoe : ah . i can see us now . the three musketeers . okay . maybe not . but i 'm chuffed about this job , xander . i 'm not doing anything to mess it up . this is my chance -- not to just be a model , but to stay here , in los angeles , with you . hope : steffy said she wants all of us to get along , that the war between us is over . brooke : and it has been a war . hope : yeah , it certainly felt that way at times . endless conflict , defending my relationship against constant attacks ... it was exhausting . and , you know , steffy felt the same way , too . so she called a truce . besides , you know , we 're gon na be raising our children together , and they 'll be half - siblings , so , you know , they deserve a life full of peace and harmony , and i want that for them . gosh , i want that for all of us . brooke : of course you do , sweetheart . hope : i just -- i ca n't believe it finally happened , without arguments , without fighting . it just all magically fell into place . [ sighs ] gosh , it just -- it could n't get better than this . brooke : i disagree . do n't get me wrong , this is positive , and steffy 's change in behavior , that 's very encouraging , but when it comes down to it , it 's liam 's decision to make , not steffy 's . steffy : somebody had to say `` enough . `` liam : yes , i get that , but that 's not what you said . you went way beyond that . steffy : one of us had to be the adult , liam , cut through all the emotion and the history and just make the call . liam : that 's -- that 's what i 'm saying . that call was n't yours to make . steffy : i 'm kelly 's mother , and it 's my job to give her a secure , stable life . i ca n't wait around , waiting for you to decide which family you want to live with . i do n't doubt your commitment to us , your loyalty to kelly . i know i made mistakes . big mistakes . but i 've shed enough tears . i 've wrung my hands , i have paced the floor my entire pregnancy , and i 'm done , liam . i 'm over it . and maybe i just -- maybe i just needed to hit rock bottom . accepting bill 's proposal , it woke me up . and it made me realize i 'm stronger than that . go be with hope , liam . it does n't have to be this complicated . you want her , go be with her . she 's carrying your child . and i know you already love that kid , just like you love ours . liam : i do . steffy : and i know you love hope , too . liam : i do , but ... for her sake , what that means and where i go from here needed to be my decision . steffy : you can make whatever decision you want , just know that i 'm not an option . i made a mistake -- a huge mistake -- and i tried to apologize . i tried to make it right . but women today , we do n't wait around to be chosen . hope 's not gon na wait around , either . she wants a life with you , and i ... i want something else . i control this company . i control my life . my destiny will be the one i give to myself and my daughter . thorne : steffy wants to re - ignite the lingerie line . zoe : [ sighs ] these are brilliant . thorne : yeah , there was a time that this was forrester 's hottest collection . steffy wants to put the line back in the spotlight . zoe : is this what i 'll be modeling ? thorne : yeah . how do you feel about that ? zoe : i feel like it 's a perfect fit . thorne : great . i 'll get ready for a run - through with the other models . i 'll get it set up . zoe : [ gasps ] are n't you sneaky . emma : i heard the news . zoe : amazing , is n't it ? emma : you expect me to congratulate you ? zoe : that would the polite thing to do . emma : what do you want , zoe ? what 's your objective here ? zoe : i 'd like to get changed , if you do n't mind . emma : you were stalking xander . you made threats to the hope for the future website , and then somehow ended up modeling the showstopper for the collection , and -- boom ! you have a new career at forrester creations . zoe : quite a stroke of luck . emma : not for xander . he left england to get away from you . he came to forrester to have a fresh start . you do n't deserve to work here . you need to go to thorne and tell him that you do n't want the job . liam : you know , you wo n't be raising kelly alone . steffy : of course not . you 'll be a big part of her life . i know it was n't long ago when i thought we had to be living under the same roof to be the best parents for kelly . the dream of having a life with you , liam ... it 's over . i 've accepted that . liam : i 'm so sorry . i never meant to make it feel like a competition . steffy : [ chuckles ] but it did . it did . i 'm not perfect . i have my flaws . but i loved you completely . you hemmed and hawed and you asked for more time . you had every right to . but i need to take control of my life . and maybe i 'll find a guy one day who 's ready to commit himself to me . but i 'm not gon na put my life on hold waiting for him . i 'm definitely not gon na be like brooke , defined by the man she 's seeing in the moment . i do n't need a relationship to make me whole or secure . i can do that myself . and for our little girl . liam : you know how much i love her , right ? i do n't ever want you to doubt that . steffy : i don't . i know you love me . and i will always love you , liam . but it 's time for me to get on with my life . and , hey , you 've done a great job with hope for the future , and i know she probably wants to have you on board , which is completely fine with me . i 'd like you to still work here . [ sighs ] we 're adults . we can work together . we can co - parent kelly . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have to get back to work . liam : steffy . i know what i had . but you 're right . this was not just my decision to make , and ... it was selfish of me to make you wait . i 'm sorry . no apologies , i know . i get it , we 're past that now . but each of us has the right to choose what we want out of life , and i respect your decision . just ... i guess i just was n't ready to feel what i 'm feeling right now . [ knocks on door ] xander : hey . thorne : hey . xander : zoe is gon na do a great job for you , thorne . she 's really excited . i 'm just , you know , worried about how emma 's gon na react when she finds out . thorne : well , she already knows . xander : what ? thorne : emma confronted me earlier . yeah , she 's , uh , a little concerned . emma : you should respect xander 's feelings and leave . zoe : what do you know about xander 's feelings ? emma : i know he does n't want you here . zoe : [ scoffs ] emma . little emma . listen . this is a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity for me . emma : having xander back in your life ? zoe : to be a forrester model , being on the cutting edge of international style , representing one of the greatest fashion houses in the world . emma : and to be with xander again . zoe : you 're the one that ca n't stop talking about him . emma : there 's something you should know . xander and i have kissed . we 're dating . zoe : [ scoffs ] had a snog , have you ? well , there 's something that you need to know , my little teeny - bopper friend . xander and i were n't just dating . we had a very intense , very mature relationship . the three of us were inseparable . emma : three of you ? zoe : xander , me , and our dear old cat , harry . he 's like a son to me . i flew him all the way here from london . after xander left , harry was all i had . until today . now i have this tremendous opportunity here , at forrester . i plan to make the most of it . emma : is getting xander back part of your plan ? i 'm only going to tell you this one more time . you need to leave . zoe : [ scoffs ] or what ? what are you going to do about it ? hope : hey . pam said you were still in here . liam : yeah . i was about to come find you . hope : [ chuckles ] did , uh , you and steffy get a chance to talk ? liam : oh , yeah . hope : mm . i still can not believe what she did . liam : oh , you mean playing matchmaker for us ? hope : yeah , that was totally unexpected . but , you know , i -- i also am really impressed with the way she stood for herself , coming from that place of strength and self - respect . i admire that . liam : me , too . hope : well , that 's not surprising . steffy 's just always been confident , tough , ambitious . [ chuckles ] i mean , yeah , she might have gotten a little lost that night with your father , but it seems like she 's getting her way back on track . liam : i agree , but , um ... the thing with the ring ... you know , sometimes steffy goes a little far . hope : she was making a point , liam . we have been totally locked into this cycle for far too long , and she does n't want it to continue with our children , so , you know , steffy took herself out of the equation . liam : right . she did more than that , though . hope : i 'm carrying your child , liam , and i have always wanted a family with you , and we have loved each other for years . and it was n't too long ago that we were standing at that altar , ready to pledge our lives to each other , and now ... i 'm wearing your ring again . although , i wish it had been you that had put it on my finger . liam : well , yeah . yeah . hope : but ... what steffy said was n't wrong . you know ? we do belong together , liam , and we -- we make each other happy . we deserve to have this chance . but i need to know if it 's what you want . i need to hear it from you . is this what you want ? | hope surprises her mother that she will not believe what just happened . she holds out her ring finger and brooke is elated but confused when told liam did not put that ring on her finger , but steffy did . liam tells steffy that was quite a gesture . she says it was time . he laments that she told hope she could marry liam but that is something he should be doing . that decision was his . zoe can not thank thorne and xander enough . emma overhears and is not happy . she questions thorne about it and says he can not do that . he says zoe was not supposed to be at the show but she saved the entire show and she should not have a problem with that . emma says she is xander 's ex- girlfriend so that will be a problem . thorne says this is only business so she will have to put her personal feelings aside . zoe tells xander this is a perfect opportunity for her so she can not leave l.a now . hope can not believe this happened with no arguments or fighting . everything has fallen in place . brooke says she understands but it is still liam 's decision to make , not steffy 's . liam tells steffy that still was not her call . she says she is kelly 's mother and she needs to give her a healthy , stable life . she 's had enough tears and she is over it and done . guess she just needed to hit rock bottom and realize she is stronger than that , so it does not have to be this complicated so he can go be with hope . she knows she made a huge mistake and she tried to apologize and fix it . hope wants him whether he proposed now or not and she will not wait forever . women today make their own decisions so he better accept that . |
liam : she 's alive . hope : [ crying , laughing ] our little girl ? our beth is alive ? liam : douglas was right . everything -- everything he said was true . hope : but how is that possible ? i know what you said , but -- liam : i know . i know . i know . i 'm gon na explain everything , i promise . but right now ... you need to go see her . hope : [ sobs ] yes . liam : yes . hope : [ laughing ] yes , yes , yes ! thank you !

[ sighs ] hope : [ exhales shakily ] [ crying , chuckles ] she 's all ours . liam : yeah . hope : [ sobs ] liam : yeah , she is . let 's go . ridge : liam does n't know what he 's talking about . yes , th - there 's a problem with the paperwork . but flo told us she gave birth to phoebe . brooke : flo told us that . but not her mom . remember when we met shauna ? my daughter kept praising flo about bringing this beautiful little girl into our lives , and shauna was shocked . she did n't know anything about the adoption . she did n't know anything about phoebe . well , do n't you think that 's a little strange ? i mean , now that i know shauna and flo even better , i think that 's even more strange . ridge : how ? brooke : because they 're so close , ridge . shauna would do anything for her daughter . she did n't even know about the pregnancy . ridge : right . you just said she did n't want her to know about the pregnancy , so ... this is not a conspiracy . brooke : well , maybe there is . now that we know there 's an issue with the birth certificate . ridge : there is not an issue . it was some kind of a clerical error . it happens all the time . brooke : all right . what else did liam say ? ridge : no . this is not about what he said . this is -- we -- we 're here to help steffy , to support her , not make it worse . brooke : you said he talked to the doctor in las vegas . ridge : and the doctor said she did n't know anything . brooke : well , apparently liam thinks there 's more to it . ridge : be - because he 's going through something . something 's going on with him . brooke : like what ? ridge : i -- brooke : what is it , ridge ? ridge : i do n't -- i do n't know . i just know he -- this is not like him . he would n't do that . he would n't say things that could hurt steffy and hope . brooke : okay , well , just tell me . ridge : [ sighs ] i - i -- it 's -- i -- i 'm ... brooke : come on . just tell me . i can see that it 's bothering you . tell me . ridge : liam thinks that beth is still alive . brooke : [ scoffs ] shauna : you are not going to prison for this . flo : no , mom . i have to pay for what i 've done . shauna : no , the doctor does . he did this . flo : and i went along with it . i did n't stop him . [ sighs ] i was about to tell wyatt everything when liam burst in . the way they looked at me , mom . i knew that this day was gon na come , but there is nothing that could have prepared me for that conversation with wyatt , and how devastated he was with me . flo : it 's over . wyatt . forrester . this family . it 's all gone . [ inhales sharply ] i ca n't even imagine how hope is gon na react . shauna : she 'll be thrilled about her baby . flo : but she 's also gon na hate me for keeping them apart for so long . her whole family will . and they should . hope : [ gasping ] wait . wait , wait . [ sobbing ] liam : oh ! hope ... oh , i know . i get it . i get it . big moment , right ? hope : mm - hmm . liam : okay . breathe . breathe . it 's all good . [ smooches ] it 's all good . do you want me to bring her to you ? hope : heh ... liam : yeah ? hope : [ crying ] yeah . liam : yeah . okay . that 's good . hope : okay . liam : [ exhaling deeply ] hope : [ laughing , crying ] brooke : [ sighs ] okay , so , liam thinks beth is alive ? ridge : yeah . i 'm concerned about him . and i do n't know what happened . maybe it 's because he moved in with steffy and the girls , or maybe because thomas married hope , but something is wrong . brooke : i do n't know . that 's just a really weird thing for him to say . so , how did steffy react ? was she upset by that ? ridge : she 's concerned . and , yes , upset . [ sighs ] but there 's other weird stuff that was said . um ... liam thinks that phoebe is beth . brooke : what ? ridge : this whole time , we were concerned about hope grieving . we forgot all about liam . brooke : oh , my god . [ sighs ] ridge : i think this all started when thomas and hope dropped their little boy off at the house . they just wanted to spend the night together , you know ? brooke : so you think that 's what set him off ? ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : he had a little mini - breakdown ? ridge : i think what set him off was a comment that douglas made . brooke : what comment ? ridge : that phoebe is beth . that 's where liam got the idea . brooke : why would douglas say something like that ? ridge : he just misunderstood something his father said . brooke : he heard it from thomas ? ridge : yes , he heard it from thomas . and i - i 've been trying to call him , but he 's not answering his phone . because he 's on his honeymoon . and i know how you feel about their relationship , but we -- we just got to accept it . so does liam . they 're together now . there is no liam and hope , and there is no beth . brooke : [ scoffs ] i need to get to the bottom of this . ridge : liam does n't have any answers . brooke : well , flo might . ridge : y - you think she 's involved in this ? brooke : [ sighs ] i do n't know , ridge . i just want answers . do n't you ? flo : wyatt could n't understand why i did n't come forward months ago . shauna : it 's easy to pass judgment when you 're not the one who could be arrested , honey . flo : no , mom . i let people suffer . i - i stood by and watched hope and liam 's life fall apart . of course wyatt could n't understand . i mean , how could he ? no one could . i wanted to tell her so many times , but i allowed everyone to talk me out of it . shauna : you can blame me . please . tell the logans that i begged you to keep quiet , 'cause i did . i was so scared for you , i could n't even think straight . flo : no , mom . i 'm -- i am responsible for my own actions . i ca n't keep thinking about myself anymore . the only thing that matters right now is that hope is reunited with her baby . hope : i want to see her . i want to hold those little fingers and hear her voice and ... [ giggles ] i just -- i want to hold her forever and never let her go . liam : she did n't make it . hope : [ moaning ] no ! liam : i 'm so sorry . hope : no ! dr. buckingham ! i need to see my baby ! hope : [ laughing ] [ sniffles ] you know , the night you were born , i never got to hold you . we 're gon na erase that night . we 're gon na start over . [ beth babbles ] mommy 's here . [ chuckling ] yeah . beth : a - ma , mama ! mama , mama , mama ! hope : [ crying ] mommy 's here . shauna : i 'm not letting anyone put you behind bars . that 's not gon na happen . [ sighs ] all right . we 've got to get out of here . just get in your car and start driving . flo : i 'm not gon na run from this . i need to face everyone . especially hope . shauna : honey , that 's very noble of you , but [ scoffs ] now is not the time . flo : mom -- shauna : let 's go . flo : i love you . i know you love me , and i know you mean well . but i can not take your advice about this anymore . i should have had the courage to come forward months ago . shauna : honey -- [ door opens ] brooke : pam said that she was in the building . oh ! flo . there you are . we need to talk to you . ridge : hey . we 've got some questions . brooke : [ sighs ] did liam contact you about phoebe 's birth certificate ? flo : he did . ridge : well , he 's concerned , and he has some very interesting scenarios . brooke : he said that he talked to the doctor , and the doctor does n't know you . and then he called the hospital , and the hospital has no record that you were there . flo : he told me that , too . brooke : well , did he also tell you what he thinks ? about beth ? that beth is alive ? that that little girl that steffy is raising is not phoebe . it 's beth . shauna : look , if you think my daughter did something wrong , please , just say it . flo : mom -- brooke : flo . [ sighs ] my daughter brought you into this family , into this company . and you gave us so much . you gave steffy so much . that precious little girl . or did you ? are we wrong ? or is liam wrong ? what is it ? what 's going on here , flo ? we need to know . is that little girl ... that little girl , did you give birth to her ? flo : no . i 'm not her mother . brooke : what ? w - well , if you 're not her mother , then who is ? who is it , flo ? tell me , damn it ! i want to know . is it hope ? is that little girl my granddaughter ? flo : yes . yes . brooke : [ gasps ] flo : phoebe is really beth . she 's been here this whole time with steffy . phoebe is hope 's baby . [ beth cooing ] hope : [ chuckles ] liam : this is our little girl . she 's healthy and perfect . hope : your mommy missed you . my little angel . you were in my heart every day . but today we 're reunited . yeah . get to erase all of that pain . and begin anew . [ sobs ] with your mommy . and your daddy . [ sighs ] and we 're never , ever gon na let you go . liam : never again . . . . . . . | hope and liam hold onto each other and rejoice in the knowledge that their daughter , beth , is alive and they both have known her all along . liam promises he will tell her everything as much as he knows . they drop by the cliff house and proclaim she is all theirs . brooke questions ridge of why he looks worried . quickly he tells her liam is trying to find answers and he is starting with the birth certificate and finds flo never gave birth at the vegas hospital . maybe something is wrong with the paperwork , but he prepares her that liam thinks beth is still alive and among them . shauna drops in on flo at work while she is rumbling through her desk . shauna wants to know what is wrong . flo admits she could not wait . wyatt figured it out for himself . he knows all now . she does not think he will want her in his life now . shauna assures her she is not going to prison for this . flo says she knew there would be consequences but nothing prepared her for the conversation with wyatt . it is over . and now hope 's whole family will be angry at her as well they should . hope ca n't quit crying with tears of happiness and shaking off disbelief . brooke is shocked that liam thinks beth is alive . and he also thinks phoebe is beth so of course this upsets steffy . it was a comment douglas made while spending the night at steffy 's he said phoebe was beth . |
donna : i 'm fired ? ridge : oh , come on , brooke . brooke : no , ridge . this is not debatable . not after the tawdry sex show my sister put on in front of the press and most of our loyal buyers . donna : tawdry sex show ? brooke : i do n't know what got into you out there . this could cost us our entire line . that is unless i find a way to salvage things . if any of it 's salvageable at this point . dr. kibe : i 'll make sure that your patients are covered for as long as you need . taylor : oh , thank you so much , dr . kibe . i really do appreciate that . i do . oh , phoebe , you remember dr . kibe ? dr. kibe : hi , phoebe . nice to see you again . phoebe : you , too . dr. kibe : you take good care of your mom . we 're really going to miss her around here . phoebe : mom , oh , my god ! you quit your job ? you 're gon na turn yourself in -- hector : what ? no , you ca n't . i wo n't let you . taylor : hector , i 'm not quitting my job . i 'm just taking a leave of absence . phoebe : why ? taylor : i 'm really not in the position to be giving advice to people when i ca n't even handle on my own life . my life is an entire mess . besides , the police are still investigating . hector : i just talked to my contact at the police station . so far , there are no solid leads . the apbs have n't panned out , forensics has come up empty . it looks as if this case is n't going to get solved , taylor . as long as you do n't say anything . taylor : well , i should have been honest in the first place . hector : phoebe and i lied to protect you , taylor . if you confess -- taylor : i know . both of you will pay the price . you do n't have to keep repeating yourself , hector . hector : well , maybe i do . the more time you spend with throne and his little girl . stephanie : oh , my sweet baby girl . you are so beautiful , and that dress is exquisite . i think grandpa -- i think he should put you into modeling right now . alexandria : oh , grandma . [ stephanie laughs ] stephanie : we could use a little innocence on the runway after today . thorne : the preview did n't go so well ? stephanie : well , let 's just say the supermodel did a rather provocative show . interestingly enough , brooke did n't like it at all . thorne : she thought it was too risqué ? stephanie : i think she was jealous . thorne : jealous that ridge is working with donna ? stephanie : jealous that she has been so easily replaced . thorne : are you saying that there 's something going on between ridge and her ? stephanie : no , i guess i 'm saying this is classic brooke . but then you know all about that , do n't you ? she dumps one man for another . then when she 's finished with ' t want anybody else to have him either . i think she 's jealous . ridge : oh , come on , brooke . you saw the reaction . envy . brooke : not everybody . several of the buyers walked out . ridge : we were just trying something different , that 's all . brooke : i 'm not talking about your designs , ridge . they 're spectacular , as always . but what you did out there could n't have been further from what this line is all about . donna : okay , hold it . i admit i 'm not some seasoned pro like you . but you 're acting like i demeaned myself -- and brooke 's bedroom . and i do n't see it like that at all . brooke : because you 're too inexperienced to realize it . donna : fine . i 'm inexperienced . but i also know what i felt from practically everyone in that showroom . there was an electricity . excitement . which means we were a hit , even though it was me on that runway , and not you . but that 's a real problem here , is n't it ? in your heart , you wish you were still the face of brooke 's bedroom . for all the obvious reasons -- and some y refuse to admit . especially to yourself . taylor : i 'll come get you in a minute . hector : why did you tell phoebe to wait outside ? taylor : because what i had to say , i really do n't want her to hear . look , hector , we have to set something straight here . all right ? i really do appreciate everything you 've been doing for me . i know that 's what you have been trying to do , is the best thing . but it really is starting to feel like you 're taking over my life . and i 'm not going to let you do that . hector : even if it means saving you from yourself ? taylor , you 're barely functioning . you 're saying and doing things -- we have to stay strong , sweetheart . and committed . and in order to do that , i think we have to leave l.a . i think we have to get as far away from throne and his little girl as possible . i can help you forget . taylor : no -- no , that 's really not the way i want do that , hector . thorne is taking me to aa , and i 'm getting better -- and i do n't think running away from my problems are the answer . hector : i should be taking you to aa . i love you . i would do anything for you . taylor : what , like steamrolling me into covering this whole thing up ? like pressuring me to keep quiet , when i was already in shock ? i was practically not even rational when i was trying to make decisions about this whole thing ? hector , really , come on , think about it . i mean , what 's happening right now is almost worse than what happened . i ca n't do it . i ca n't let you make choices for me . i ca n't let you take control of my life . it is n't healthy . it is n't healthy for you or me , or our friendship . donna : i should have known you 'd behave this way . i mean , you 're married to nick when you 're still in love with ridge . plus , you 're stuck over at marone , when you want to be here where all the action is . and if that were n't enough , your kid sister is stepping into your role on the runway . getting kudos from press and buyers . when you 're used to being center stage . no wonder it 's driving you crazy . brooke : it 's not driving me crazy . i 'm just trying to protect you and brooke 's bedroom from becoming the laughing stock of the world . ridge : that 's not what 's happening here , brooke . donna is as committed to this line 's success as i am . donna : which is why i did everything that ridge told me to do . brooke : so now you 're blaming ridge for this disgusting display ? ridge : no . this `` disgusting display , `` as you put it , was all my idea . i told donna what to do . and she was very committed to it . and for the record , no one could 've done it better . not even you . brooke : if that 's meant to hurt me , ridge -- ridge : hurt you , brooke ? oh , come on , for god 's sakes . you know how i feel about you . you know how i feel about brooke 's bedroom . nothing would make me happier than for you to come back here and work with me . donna : but you ca n't . can you , sis ? and we both know why . the secret to a great relationship ... stephanie : hello ? i would like to talk with you , if you could spare me a few moments . taylor : actually , i 've got nothing but time . stephanie : oh , light case load ? taylor : well , it 's more like no case load . because i 'm taking a leave of absence . stephanie : that might not be such a bad idea , taylor . funny , you know , i was just with throne . he did n't say anything about this . taylor : it just happened . so what brings you here ? stephanie : i just wanted to say thank you . thank you for being so kind to throne and the baby . darla would really be grateful . i know i am . look , with -- having decided to take this leave of absence , maybe you could find it convenient to spend a little more time with alexandria . you know , you 're such a person of great character and integrity , honesty . she could n't have a better role model -- taylor : stephanie , please . you know , this is not what i want to hear right now . stephanie : from me . because of everything that 's happened between us . i 'm not happy about that , any more than i am about admitting that i 'm wrong . which i so rarely am , of course . i should have stood by you when ridge left . i 'm sorry . it 's just that he had the heart attack , and i -- i was so afraid he was going to die . that 's no excuse for my thoughtlessness and insensitivity to you . i 'm sorry . i really am . well , you know , brooke 's made her decision . she married nick and she 's certainly not going to give that stock back without a fight . of course , that makes me the biggest fool of all . brooke : i have no idea what you 're talking about . but if you think after what happened out there today , that makes me want to come back to work with you -- ridge : brooke , what exactly did she do that you found so objectionable ? i had to get their attention . you ca n't expect me to sell a new spokesmodel doing the same thing that you did . that would n't work . because you are incomparable , brooke . and fortunately for me , and the line , i saw something in donna . i saw a spark that made going in a different direction the way to go . so , that 's what i did . i ran with it . and i 'm glad i did , because it 's gon na do big things for brooke 's bedroom now . donna : which is what we all want . so what 's the problem ? brooke : the problem is -- i asked you what the bedroom line meant to you , and you made me believe that you understood it was all about sophisticated sensuality . but what you did out there on the catwalk -- that flew totally in the face of that . ridge : okay , what we have here is a big , fat misunderstanding . you have your own concept of the way you think this line should be marketed . i have a different one . and that 's not really surprising , considering you do all your work from marone , and you 're prevented from even being around me these days . brooke : nick has his reasons , ridge . ridge : yeah , well , you guys are married now . so why do n't you just tell him to get over it ? especially considering i 'm working my butt off trying to get on with my life here . brooke , we both know this is no way to run a business . we need each other . i need you to make all this happen . come on , we know what we can accomplish when we work side by side . that 's where all the energy -- that 's where all the creativity and the spark has always come from here . brooke , please . say you 'll come back . you know you want to . [ cell phone rings ] brooke : hello ? nick -- no , no , everything 's fine . i 'll be there shortly . ridge : call him back . tell him the plans have changed . brooke : i have to go . taylor : we all have regrets , stephanie . stephanie : yes , we do . and i let you down in the worst ways possible . i know it came at a very steep cost to you . taylor : thorne told you everything ? stephanie : about going to the aa meeting ? yes , i think it 's a good idea . taylor , i love you . i want our friendship back . and i know it ca n't happen overnight , but if you could just -- if you could find it in your heart to forgive me . i lost one daughter - in - law already , i ca n't lose you , too . taylor : i did n't want that either . stephanie : you know , you 're so important to all of us . i know throne would n't be doing as well as he is , if it were n't for you . taylor : no . stephanie : no , it 's true . you 've been a real comfort to him and to that sweet baby girl . and i -- i know you do n't like being called a saint , but in this case , i think maybe -- taylor : oh , i 'm far from it . trust me on that one . i do n't have any answers . i really do n't . i -- the only thing i can do is -- stephanie : just keep doing what you 're doing . you know , and being a friend there . for him . being friends with me again , maybe letting me back in your life . you think you could find it in your heart to forgive me ? taylor : the real question is , can i forgive myself ? god ! stephanie : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sounding so selfish . i know you 're going through a lot . sweetheart , if i can help you , i promise you i 'll do that . i promise i will . look , taylor -- please , i do n't want anything to ever come between us again . please ? please ? donna : sorry , ridge . i know how much you wish you and my sister could still work together . ridge : brooke and i make a great team . even when we disagree , like today . donna : she respects your talents . ridge : i respect hers . i just question why is she letting a jerk like nick control her life ? donna : she 's given up a lot for his lordship . ridge : yeah , all in the name of love , huh ? donna : you do n't believe she knows her own heart ? ridge : i believe that she believes she does . donna : which leaves you where ? ridge : right here with you . which is a pretty darn nice place to be . donna : even after what happened today at the fashion show ? ridge : oh , because of it . you were a hit , donna logan . just like i knew you would be . donna : well , you made me feel so comfortable out there . like it 's -- it 's where i belong . ridge : it is where you belong . donna : well , brooke did n't think so . ridge : she 'll have to get over it . donna : so , this really is n't the end of the road for me ? ridge : are you kidding ? this is just the beginning . donna : i hope so . ridge : are you doubting me ? donna : no . ridge : are you doubting me ? donna : no . never . ridge : good . that 's what i like . unabashed adulation . donna : i knew it was a mistake telling you what i did . about measuring all my relationships by you . is there any wonder why i 've never met the right man ? i mean , they all pale in comparison . ridge : well , i do have my faults . i know that 's hard to believe . donna : i 'm just saying , you 're every bit as wonderful as -- as i remember you . more so . i 'm really happy that you 're in my life . my sister might take you for granted , but i never will . brooke : oh , my god . what have i done ? | taylor arranges to take a leave of absence from work . it 's not fair to try to help others when she can not even manage her own life . phoebe is shocked and hector is livid . he wo n't let her do this or confess to the police . he tries to guilt her into it , especially keeping her away from thorne and his little girl . she demands that he ca n't his force his friendship ' into something more or run her life . brooke reams donna out for her tawdry behavior on the runway and that it could ruin the entire line with the company . donna sees the real reason though brooke is jealous , wishing she was still the face of brooke 's bedroom and still working closely with ridge . ridge says he is glad they did what they did ; it 's going to do big things for forrester . he tries to blame their misunderstanding on her working from marone and not being there side by side at forrester . he begs her to come back . reluctantly she leaves , but sister , donna , is there to comfort him . he flatters by giving her glowing praise for being a natural . she reciprocates by saying she is glad he is in her life ; all other men pale by comparison . she kisses him . |

[ scene_break ] nick : you ready to walk your girl down the aisle ? julius : as ready as i 'm ever gon na be . and , you know , if you did the ceremony quickly , we could still have time to play nine holes before it got dark . nick : i think we better hold off on that . we do n't want to miss the reception , and , anyway , i ca n't have maya coming after me for you missing the father- daughter dance . julius : oh , yeah . ca n't have that . nicole : maya 's good to go . nick : okay ! i 'll get people in their seats . vivienne : whew ! nicole : everything okay ? julius : you know , i expected one day to walk you down an aisle , but this -- this is -- this is something to adjust to . nicole : just be happy for her . it 's as simple as that . then you 'll see that it does n't take much adjusting at all . vivienne : she 's got a point . julius : you know , i hear this a lot -- `` be happy , be happy `` -- like there 's a switch that i can just flip on and off . vivienne : oh , you can get through this . julius : i want to get through this . i really , really do . i mean , look at this place ... this family . it should be easy for us to be happy for our child ... for all the good that 's coming into maya 's life and maybe even ours . you know what ? maybe that 's what i should focus on , and that way , maybe i can accept her . vivienne : but ? julius : but i do n't think it 's going to last . you know these rich hollywood types . marriage does n't mean the same thing to them that it means to us . does n't rick already have two ex - wives ? how long before the novelty wears off ? vivienne : stop ! julius : no , no , no . listen to me . rich , good - looking , handsome , can have any woman he wants ... and he 's gon na marry into a freak show ... a woman made by surgery ? it 's not gon na be long before he wants the real thing again . vivienne : shut your mouth . julius : listen , vivienne , i know that i am not supposed to say all of this . i 'm supposed to keep it all locked up inside of me . i told maya last night i wanted to be inside her life . and i will do the same thing today . i will bite my tongue . i will march what used to be our son down an aisle , and i will hand him over to a man like it 's normal . i will sit through this joke of a ceremony , and i will smile . i will say the right things , i will do ... all the right things to protect maya 's day . but i will be acting , because i 'm trying to make myself believe and accept her , to accept this , and this is wrong . it 's sick . it 's not natural . i do n't accept it , and i ca n't accept it , and i wo n't accept it ! what she did and who she is -- it just ... is n't ... right . | the forrester house is all abuzz with festivities . even bridget comes home and surprises them . maya can not believe this is really happening , she is getting married . rick introduces vivienne and julius to bridget . she in turn hugs zende . she says he sure has grown up since she has seen him . katie and bill walk in , but rick balks at that . he tells bill no , he is not invited or welcome here . katie asks him to let him stay , bill has something to say . bill says he is not here to bash maya . he is really here to apologize to her and would like to stay for the wedding . rick listens and says that will be up to maya . she initially says no but bill steps forward and says they are going to be part of an extended family so they need to put their feelings aside and accept each other . he made a business decision and went in for the kill without giving maya consideration how it would affect her . that was his mistake . he hopes she will be man enough to forgive him . she says it was cruel and unnecessary but she can not change other people 's minds , so yes she will accept his apology . he can then see first hand how happy they are and how he can never scare her again . rick tells her that he is so proud of her . maya reminds nick about when they first met and she was just starting on this journey and now she is a bride . |

emma : no ! maya would rather have zoe here because of my uncle . i 'm talking about zoe . xander : look , i was just as surprised as you were when thorne asked her to stay on . i thought she was going back to london . emma : well , maybe she needs you to remind her of what she was going to do . xander : obviously , you 're not happy about this . emma : i thought you would be more unhappy . but you do n't mind a gorgeous model here who ca n't get over you . steffy : as director and spokesperson of the lingerie line , i will also be modeling . danny : [ chuckles ] steffy : i really want to energize the line . i do n't know if you guys are like me , but i am so tired of overly airbrushed bodies . i want to live in a world where we are comfortable in our own skin . we have flaws . but we accept our flaws . we own it . so , are you ready to create that world with me ?

the woman 's not stable . xander : okay . what has she actually done ? she made some posts that were n't nice , painted a mural , and put on a dress that was n't hers . emma : she 's not letting go of you , xander . xander : but what can she do ? we do n't share a flat anymore , and i 'm not the only thing she has in her life . look , she 's starting out on what could be a really good career for her . i 'm not comfortable with taking that away . emma : i want you to live your life and do the things you like with people that appreciate you . but what about me ?

[ sighs ] fine . you 've made your point about the dry food . luckily for you , i stopped on my way home and got the caviar of cat food . [ can opener whirring ] [ whirring stops ] harry ? ridge : you scare me sometimes . steffy : another life goal met . [ chuckles ] ridge : no , i mean the cold sweat that was running down my back when i thought you were marrying that idiot spencer . it scares me that you 're fearless , and i 'm proud of it , but ... there life that should scare you . steffy : not modeling lingerie . ridge : no , that scares me . i 'm gon na look down when you do that . steffy : can you not -- dad . not being alone . ridge : no . steffy : no . no . i 'm a strong , independent woman . i can take care of myself . i do n't want to be with someone where i 'm constantly wondering if i 'm good enough . ridge : you gave him back his ring ? steffy : no . no . i told liam to marry hope . and i put my ring on hope 's finger myself . [ sighs ] liam : hope , we have to be honest with ourselves here . love comes with accountability , and i ca n't -- i ca n't make amends if you do n't admit to yourself that i 've hurt you . hope : you did n't mean to . liam : i 'm the one who caused the pain . it does n't magically go away because i did n't mean to . hope : liam ... i love you . you can beat yourself up all you like , but you can do so without my assistance . look , i - i want to have a life with you and our child , so , please , just tell me if that 's what you want . liam : yeah . yes . it 's what i want . of course it 's what i want . i ca n't picture the future without picturing you . you 've been my friend . you 've been my lover . you 're always on my side . how could i not want a love like that every day for the rest of my life ? hope : then that 's where i 'll be . thorne : so , is emma doing better with the fact that i hired zoe ? xander : i think she 'll be fine once the shock wears off . i think she was a little intimidated . you know , my ex just shows up out of nowhere , starts causing trouble with all those posts . but -- well , you know -- they were n't as threatening as everyone thought they were . thorne : yeah . once i realized that myself , i thought it was just bad business not to hire her and capitalize on the buzz from the fashion show . xander : i get emma 's concerns . i do . but ... i want good things for zoe . [ chuckles ] look , she and i but i guess , for a while , i forgot why we ever were . but distance helps , 'cause , you know , now all i want is to see her succeed . things always have n't been the best for zoe . she deserves some success and happiness . it should be a good thing for her . zoe : harry ? my little prince . where are you ? oh , please do n't tell me that you slipped out this morning when i was just ... [ sighs ] there you are . what are you doing underneath all of these ? [ sighs ] wake up , little man . harry . ridge : so , what did liam say ? steffy : oh , a lot . ridge : it 's a secret ? steffy : no . he has such a good conscience , and he does n't like letting people down . that 's basically been our entire year . ridge : but what did he say ? steffy : i know he loves me , and i know i made a big mistake , but i just -- i - i ca n't be with someone who ca n't make up their mind . it 's exhausting . ridge : but did he say he 's ready to give you up ? steffy : it does n't matter what he said . i said there 's no choice . i told him he should be with hope . they belong together . and i wish them the best . i truly do . but we need to be adults about this . we 're all gon na have a family together . ridge : wow . you are what wonder woman wants to be when she grows up . steffy : [ chuckles ] i 'm just trying to make it work . truth is i 'm always gon na love liam . but i 'm not gon na let a man define me . liam : sometimes , hope logan ... i think i do n't deserve you . hope : hmm . well , you do n't get to decide that . liam : what , you in charge now ? hope : yeah . well , maybe . liam : [ chuckles ] yeah , that 's probably a good thing . been a little overwhelmed of late . hope : well ... you know , you tend to expect too much of yourself . liam : we have that in common . hope : so then we 'll just have to pull each other back down to earth . liam : mm , yeah . like , make our expectations a little more realistic . hope : hmm . both : no . hope : [ chuckles ] no , i do n't want you to stop dreaming . the world needs dreamers , especially now . you 're someone who can look past what is to what can be . and promise me that you 're gon na teach our child to dream just like you . what ? liam : i think i forgot that love can be ... easy . hope : yes . it can be easy . so ... just follow my lead . liam : i 'll follow you wherever you go . . . . | steffy is enthusiastic as she tells the models that she is so tired of the over airbrushed photos and she hopes they will all work with her in more natural . it 's time as women they own it . ridge is so proud of his little girl . hope tells liam that she really does not want to pressure him but needs to know how he feels . xander tries to answer emma 's questions who is clearly jealous . he says he did not leave london just because of zoe but he needed to get away . he never thought she would follow . the models strut their wares in the lingerie line and zoe does wow them . xander asks thorne how did zoe 's first modeling go . thorne says she was a standout but he thought xander was not interested or involved any more . he says he ' s not but he wants her to do well . she does n't have much and he 's glad she is on a high . she deserves some happiness . zoe goes home and can not find harry , her cat , but when she does he does not seem to be breathing . |
hope : our baby . this is our baby . i ca n't believe it . liam : this is her . this is our beth . hope : oh , my gosh , she 's so beautiful . liam : yeah . hope : all those times i held her before ... liam : she was yours . you just did n't know it . hope : i feel like i 'm meeting her for the first time . liam : well , in a way , you 're -- you 're being with her for the first time as her mother . [ baby cries ] hope : [ laughs ] liam : [ laughs ] yeah . exactly ! hope : this is really her . this is really -- this is our beth . this is -- this is the baby we thought we lost , and she -- and she 's here in my arms right now . liam : it 's hard to believe , is n't it ? hope : [ laughs ] oh , my gosh . our daughter . [ squeals ] but , liam ... how ? i mean , how -- how did this happen ? i need to know . i need you to tell me everything . brooke : beth is alive ? my daughter 's baby is alive ? flo : yes . brooke : you told everybody that you 're phoebe birth mother ! flo : i lied . brooke : because phoebe does n't exist ! shauna : wait a minute . brooke : oh , stop it , shauna ! it 's too late ! there 's no protecting her anymore . ridge : what are you saying , flo ? look at me . ridge : steffy 's raising ... phoebe is beth ? flo : i am so sorry . ridge : how could you do this ? how could you do this to a family ? flo : i did n't know the baby was beth until it was too late . brooke : i ca n't believe this . i ca n't believe that beth is alive . my granddaughter 's alive , ridge . hope is gon na -- ridge : i 'm asking you how you did this . explain it to me . flo : it was all dr . buckingham . ridge : zoe 's father ? zoe : uh , sorry , i 'll -- i 'll just come back later . & brooke : uh , no . no , we need to speak to you . ridge : yeah , we 're just talking about your dad . brooke : we just found out the truth about beth . zoe : i do n't -- i ... i do n't know what you 're talking about , i -- ridge : you knew about this all along , did n't you ? brooke : how was your father involved ? i want the truth , and i want it now . no more messing with my daughter 's life . liam : she 's ours , hope . this is not a dream . this is our little girl . hope : i know , and i 'm so thankful , but -- but i still do n't understand . liam : i 'm gon na tell you everything , i promise . but maybe , right now , we just -- we just wait . we just enjoy this , let it sink in . hope : but ... no , i -- i need to know . because i -- i do n't understand how it happened . i was in the hospital . i held her , she was n't breathing . the doctor told me that she did n't make it . he told me that there was nothing else that he could do . liam : dr. buckingham lied . he 's responsible for all of this . this was me six years ago ... brooke : it 's sick , what your father did . ridge : used it for gambling debt ? zoe : i told you , my life was in danger . brooke : there is no excuse . and there 's no excuse for the two of you keeping that secret . how long have you known ? flo : i did n't know who the birth mother was . all he told me is that her name was hope . and i did n't even know who hope and beth were until after the adoption . i know that i should have come forward and told her the truth when i found out everything , and i tried to . i tried to many times . shauna : she -- she did . brooke : but protecting yourself was more important than giving hope 's baby back ! what about you , zoe ? what about you , shauna ? was n't anybody going to tell my daughter the truth ? flo : i am so sorry , brooke . i wanted to tell her , and so did she . we both did . i - it 's just that things started to get out of hand . flo : but it 's over now . hope is finally gon na know the truth , and she 's gon na have her baby back . ridge : how is it over ? what 's steffy ? it 's gon na break her heart . brooke : taylor was involved in this adoption . did she really know what was going on ? flo : no , no , no , no . she -- she did n't know any of this . she believed that i was the birth mother . brooke : yeah , but how could she not know ? that baby came out of nowhere . flo : she trusted reese . just like i did . he 's a well - respected doctor . no one would have thought he 'd do something like this . zoe : he and taylor knew each other through some medical connections , and she mentioned that steffy was looking to adopt a sister for kelly . brooke : [ scoffs ] so he sold my granddaughter . ridge : that 's why taylor had a bag of cash . so your daddy can protect you and throw our daughters under the bus . brooke : one thing just does n't add up . they were in the clinic , and reese gave liam and hope a dead baby . my daughter was holding that baby in her arms . so whose baby was that ? what did your father do ? how did he convince them that their baby was dead ? hope : i ca n't believe i get to do this . last time i held her , i thought i was saying goodbye , i -- i was never gon na see her again . liam : well , that 's because dr . buckingham told both of us she was gone . and we had no reason not to believe him . how would we know ? hope : i need you to tell me , liam . i need you to tell me what he did . liam : it 's a long , awful story , honestly , but ... flo told me everything . hope : flo . liam : i knew something was wrong when i overheard flo and thomas arguing . after your wedding , they were talking about a secret that you could n't find out about , and so i went to wyatt and i asked him to talk to flo , see if he could , like , open her up a little bit , and she slipped up . she said that she never had a baby . so i called the hospital named on the birth certificate . the doctor had never even heard of flo fulton . she was never a patient at any time . hope : so she was in on this . liam : yes , she was in on it , but it was dr . buckingham who put it all in motion . he knew flo from vegas , and he needed someone to pose as the mother of a newborn baby . hope : i do n't understand . i held a child that night in the clinic . liam : you passed out during labor . that 's when dr . buckingham did it . that 's when he ... made the switch . tremfya ® helps adults with moderate brooke : dr. buckingham put a dead baby in my daughters arms and told her that it was beth ? flo : yes . brooke : do you know how traumatizing that was ? she thought it was the last time she was ever going to hold her child . zoe : i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . i am mortified by what my father did . and so is he . he hated himself for it . ridge : the only thing your dad was concerned about was making sure that everyone believed that beth was gone . brooke : and what about you , flo ? i ca n't believe that you actually did this just as a favor . shauna : just be honest , honey . there 's no turning back . flo : reese gave me a little bit of the money that taylor gave him . ridge : what ? flo : but it felt like blood money , and i did n't want it . i literally threw it back at him . i know that does n't matter . i 'm not trying to make excuses or anything . brooke : oh , my god ! you two must be disgusted with yourselves . ridge : you let steffy raise hope and liam 's baby , and you 're gon na pay for that , i promise you that . brooke : my daughter has been there for you . she loves you . she accepted you into our family . you -- you 're her cousin ! and , you , you 're her friend ! her heart broke into a million pieces that night . and her marriage split apart . and there were times i was so worried about her , i was n't sure she was gon na make it because of her grief . and you two just sat back and let it happen ? you shamefully and willfully participated in this vicious crime against my daughter . hope : dr. buckingham stole our baby ? liam : i know , it 's hard to even imagine . hope : why -- why would he even do that ? liam : [ sighs ] money . he owed money to these guys in vegas , and they were threatening to hurt zoe , and so he thought taking beth , he could pay down his debt . hope : but , wait , how -- how did she end up here with steffy ? liam : [ sighs ] because it turns out that taylor knew dr . buckingham beforehand , and -- and i guess she was talking to him about how steffy wants to adopt , and ... that 's when he got flo to pass off beth as her own , so that he could collect his `` finder 's fee `` from taylor . hope : so he tricked them , too . liam : yeah , but -- steffy and taylor had no idea that phoebe was beth . hope : but , liam , that night in the clinic , i -- i remember that moment so clearly . i held her , she was wrapped in a blanket . she was already gone . liam : well , that 's the sickest part about this whole thing , is that -- that night , there was another woman who came into the clinic before you did , and ... she lost her baby . it was stillborn . hope : so dr . buckingham switched the babies ? liam : he looked you in the eye and he handed you that baby and he -- and he told you it was beth . hope : he kept our beautiful , healthy baby away from us , all for money ? so who else knows about this besides dr . buckingham and flo ? is there anyone ? liam : zoe knew . she -- she found out after the fact . i 'm assuming that she did n't say anything because she wanted to keep her father out of prison . hope : okay , so zoe knew . liam : and xander . and emma . she heard them arguing the night that she died . she was on her way to tell you the truth when -- when her car went off the cliff . hope : oh , my god ... liam : there 's something else you should know , too . thomas was there . he was chasing her in his car . and , apparently , thomas has known since around the time we annulled our marriage . hope : he knew for that long , and he did n't say anything to me ? liam : because he knew if he did , you 'd leave him . hope : we exchanged vows . he promised to cherish me and to honor me , and he knew that beth was alive ? liam : do you see ? do you see what a sick bastard he is ? this is why i was going after him the way that i was . hope : i 'm sorry he hit you . are you okay ? liam : i 'm fine , i just -- i just wanted to get to you in time to tell you the truth . hope : i 'm so grateful that you did , liam . you saved me . you saved us . we have a daughter . we have our beth . [ giggles ] ridge : yes , buckingham . dr. reese buckingham . find him and arrest him . yes , he 's in london . thank you . zoe : please have mercy on my father . i am begging you . brooke : the same way he showed mercy for my daughter and her innocent baby ? zoe : he was desperate , okay ? he had to pay those guys off , or they would have killed me ! ridge : he kidnapped a baby , an innocent little child , and you helped him do it ! shauna : i 'm thinking we should call a lawyer . flo : no , mom , i 'm not thinking about that right now . ridge : well , you should be ! shauna : wait ! please . flo has been racked with guilt , and she has wanted to tell hope for months , but i begged her not to . i could n't watch her go to jail , and i still can't . i mean , she 's my baby . if you 're gon na lock anybody up , please , please let it be me . brooke : do n't worry , shauna . you 're all gon na suffer the consequences for what you 've done . but , right now , all i can think about is my granddaughter and the fact that she 's alive . we have to tell hope . hope : liam , you 've figured all this out . you put it all together . you gave her back her parents . liam : i do n't deserve all the credit . a certain someone gave me a clue . hope : douglas . liam : he was right all along . hope : gosh , i remember when he tried to tell me that beth was alive , but ... i thought he was confused . i did n't realize he was telling me the truth . [ baby cries ] yeah , he was telling the truth this entire time . i mean , he went against his father for us , for beth ... liam : yeah . he was really brave . and i owe him a thank - you . hope : wow , this is so surreal . i mean , my mind , i just -- liam : i know , i know . i 'm right there with you . it 's crazy . [ baby cries ] hope : yeah . but , wait , this is all starting to make sense . you remember when flo found out that she was a logan , and her mother shauna came to town , and she did n't even know that she was pregnant ? liam : oh , yeah , as close as they are . like , mother and daughter living in the same city together , there is no way that she would n't have known flo was pregnant . hope : i was wondering the same thing , too , but flo had some excuse , so i just let her go . i let it go . liam : well , and do you remember when we ran into her at wyatt 's house ? i mean , because that was the first time that i met flo , and wyatt had no idea that she was phoebe 's birth mom . i mean , you 'd think that would come up in conversation , right ? hope : yes , i -- i had completely forgotten about that . liam : but then , on the other hand , you and i both assumed that flo just wanted to put the adoption behind her and move on with her life , and we just -- we had no reason to be suspicious at that point . hope : i 'm just remembering all the times that she came to me and was so upset and so sad about losing our daughter , about our annulment . she even insisted that we try to have another child together . liam : she felt guilty . hope : i even walked in on her and zoe talking about beth . they saw how devastated i was and they said nothing ! they let me suffer ! [ baby cries ] hope : no , no , no , no , no , no . it 's okay . it 's okay . hey . we 're not gon na think about that now , okay ? liam : [ chuckles ] hope : no . no , we will deal with them later . [ chuckles , sniffles ] liam : we both will . hope : now i just want to focus on our little miracle . i want to focus on our beth . this whole time , she was right under our noses , and we knew . remember at the wedding when she crawled up to me and she called me `` mama ? `` liam : she knew . hope : liam , i ended our marriage because i thought ... i thought she was gone . [ baby cries ] hope : you 're all right , baby . liam : and it did n't help that thomas was manipulating you . hope : none of this should have ever happened . none of this should have ever happened . but look at us now . [ baby cries ] i have never been grateful to anyone more than i am to you . look at us , the three of us . all of our dreams . it 's all our dreams . they 're still ours . we can still rebuild . i love you so much , liam . liam : i love you , too .

amber : rick and i talked to our lawyer . there 's nothing we can do to stop the wedding . brooke : then we 'll have to find a solution on our own . amber : i tried . okay ? i even thought about running away . brooke : with little eric ? amber , that is the worst idea that you could come up with . amber : is it ? is it , though ? i mean , this is eric 's home , and if macy and deacon take him from us -- no , brooke , i can feel it . i can feel it inside me . if that wedding goes through , i 'm never gon na see my son again . brooke : do n't lose hope just yet . amber : where you going ?

that 's not the whole story by a long shot . rick : what are you talking about ? amber : your mom left a little while ago . she did n't say where she was going , but i think she went to talk to macy . sally : you know , macy , sometimes i think clarke garrison has more screws loose than a model - t ford . macy : it 's all right , mom . i 'm fine . sally : well , of course you 're fine . how could you not be ? you 're about to marry a man who adores you , who has this wonderful little boy who thinks you 're `` cuckoo . `` macy : and to top it all off , i have the greatest mother in the world . sally : oh , well , yes , i guess i am pretty wonderful at that . macy : seriously , mom . i just ca n't thank you enough for all your support . and not just for the wedding . for everything you 've done for me these past few months . sally : you 're a fighter , my darling . you 're just like me . all you have to do is stay strong . and i know you 're gon na wind up on top . macy : yeah , well , it did n't seem that way for a while . sally : i know how hard it 's been , honey . and i know how much you 've been tested . but that 's all over now . i think you can finally say `` adios `` and `` bye- bye `` to thorne forrester and brooke logan . macy : amen . sally : double `` amen `` to that , huh ?

brooke : oh , god , you 're still obsessed with thorne ? i thought you were moving on with your life , with deacon . macy : i am . and once i do , you and thorne will be out of my life for good . brooke : maybe thorne . but as long as you 're tied to little eric , you 'll never get rid of me . macy : maybe . maybe not . brooke : is that a threat ? macy : i do n't know , brooke . do you feel threatened ? how does it feel to watch me hold the cards for a change ? brooke : oh . so that 's why you 're getting married . macy : i love deacon . and he loves me . brooke : really ? macy : i do n't have to convince you of this . brooke : no . you just have to convince yourself . my god , macy , you 're so desperate to have a child that you 'll take advantage of an innocent little boy . and for what ? to get revenge against me ? macy : oh , yeah , right . this is always all about you . brooke : do n't tell me you 're not enjoying yourself . macy : having the upper hand ? yeah , it feels good , brooke . because i played second fiddle to you for too long . but not anymore . i 'm marrying somebody who loves me for me , and is not secretly lusting after you , and you just ca n't stand it . brooke : oh , you really believe that , do n't you ? this is your shining hour . your golden triumph over me . think again , macy . one look , one word , and deacon is mine all over again . his parents will love you . sally : now where is that videographer anyway ? gladys : hey , sally . where do i set up ? sally : gladys ? you ? what happened to the video guy you were supposed to hire to shoot this wedding ? gladys : he had to wrap up a skin flick , and he asked me to step in . sally : really ? well , i 'm about to ask you to step out . gladys : and lose this magic moment for posterity ? sally : all right . tell me honestly , do you know how to use this equipment ? gladys : oh , but of course . quiet on the sets . sally : oh , please . please be merciful . let this be the only disaster that happens here today . deacon : great . clarke : there . hey , you 're looking sharp . deacon : that 's very funny . good pun . clarke : promise me , deacon . macy will always come first . deacon : you know something , clarke , i 'm going to let you in on a little secret . i do n't think i 've ever been this excited about a woman in my life . clarke : how about brooke ? deacon : what about her ? clarke : well , she 's got a knack for causing trouble , especially for macy . deacon : yeah , well , um , let me put your mind at ease . i think the last place in the world that brooke wants to be is anywhere near me and macy . so , what do you say ?

brooke : why do you think he did that , macy ? macy : because he 's sick of living with your lies . brooke : because he 's sick of living without me . macy : oh , right . and so he thought if he told ridge , that ridge would be disgusted and then he 'd have you all to himself . brooke : desperate men do desperate things . macy : and all you have to do is bat your eyelashes and you 'll steal deacon 's heart all over again ? brooke : we both know it . macy : i know you 'd try . i do n't put anything past you . brooke : if i were you , i 'd walk out of this church and walk out of little eric 's life for good . macy : not a chance . brooke : you brought this on yourself , macy . macy : oh , really ? brooke : for setting your sights on rick 's son . macy : oh , for the last time , it 's deacon 's son . brooke : i did n't come here to argue that , okay ? macy : no , you came here to stop the wedding . brooke : i would do anything to protect my family . so you should think long and hard before you walk down that aisle today . macy : i already have . brooke : really ? well , then think about this . do you really want to marry another man who is still in love with me ? macy : your ego is amazing . brooke : this is not about ego . this is about protecting little eric from you . macy : so you threaten to steal yet another one of my husbands ? brooke : it 's not a threat , macy . it 's a fact . i could take him away from you just like that . macy : oh , god , you are sick . do you know that ? brooke : not as sick as you -- marrying a man for his child . macy : i love that little boy . i mean , my god , who would n't ? but you and your family are so paranoid , you think that i 'm just out to steal him . brooke : you are out to steal him . that is why i will not allow this wedding to happen . i am warning you , macy . you thought i hurt you before , but it 's nothing compared to what i could do to you . so walk away . or else i 'll make sure that your heart is broken all over again . | amber lays beside little eric and tells him she loves him , will always be there for him , and will protect him . brooke walks in . they go downstairs where talk about macy & deacon 's wedding . they 're afraid they 'll take the kids . brooke leaves . rick comes home and tells her they ca n't stop the wedding or deacon taking the boy to mexico . amber informs him of her talk with brooke . rick calls around and they ca n't locate her . amber figures she went to take care of the situation they were talking about . macy tells sally & clarke c.j is not coming to the wedding . sally 's upset but clarke & macy agree that it 's o.k . since she 's supposed to be happy today , and if he 's not supportive then he should n't be there . macy and her parents are so admired by the wedding flowers , etc . clarke asks deacon about being his best man . deacon accepts . he loves the tux . later they leave towards the altar . macy 's not dressed yet 'cause she 's interrupted by brooke . they fight a while . brooke tries to stop macy from making the biggest mistake of her life . she thinks she 's marrying deacon to seek revenge on her plus to have a family ( esp . a child ) . she does n't believe they love each other , and she can get deacon back easily if she wants since deacon still loves her . macy says everything is all about brooke ( she thinks ) but it 's not . macy claims to love little eric & deacon . brooke still thinks she 'll stop the wedding . lastly , brooke says if she marries him , etc . that she 'll regret it ! ! ! |

stephanie : thank you . andy : well , i still do n't get what i have to do with any of this . stephanie : oh , she 's available . andy : and what makes you think that i 'm still available ? stephanie : i did n't see a wedding ring . so , i thought you might just be -- look , you 're a really handsome man . she 's crazy for handsome men . believe me , i think you might be just what the doctor ordered . need i say more ? [ scene_break ] nick : hey , mom , he is quite a looker , huh ? taylor : she is certainly that . nick : honey , pictures do n't lie . as you can see right here , he is definitely a `` he `` , the way he 's showing his `` yo ho ho . `` right , bridget ? bridget : actually , the way that fetus is positioned ; we ca n't really tell what the gender is . you know , baby marone -- is being private about his or her private parts . so , maybe by the time of the next ultrasound , he or she wo n't be so shy about it . bridget : carl , what are you doing ? carl : geez , i did n't realize , i thought the room was empty . bridget : oh , no it 's -- it 's not -- i 'm here with a patient . carl : i 'll just put these supplies over here and vamoose . bridget : oh -- carl : oops . bridget : yeah , i 'll -- carl : i 'll clean this up right away . bridget : um , well , listen , i guess our visit is over unless there are any other questions . nick : you know , i do have a question , actually . was n't there some sort of test you do for beautiful pregnant women over 35 -- was n't there a procedure or a test -- taylor : i think he 's practically memorized the entire pregnancy manual . bridget : uh , yeah , it sounds like it . i think you 're referring to the amnio . nick : that 's it . the amnio . you know , i might be wrong about that . because it 's a donor egg and it 's from a younger woman , i guess we really do n't have to run that test . is that correct ? bridget : carl -- that 's actually not completely true . we could run the test just in case there are any complications or abnormalities that arise later . so , you know , carl , i think we should give mrs. marone some privacy . carl : sure , doc , it 's just that since they 're both here , do n't you think we should -- bridget : now , carl . thanks . nick : that was weird . [ scene_break ] thorne : we 'll see if this is the year . that 's it . [ phone vibrating ] donna : let me guess . stephanie . what has she done ? brooke : nothing . but i 'm sure she would have tried if ridge had n't been there . donna : so , you got to see the kids ? she did n't -- she did n't stand over you with a stopwatch ? brooke : no , actually it was wonderful except when it came time to say good- bye . donna : this is all stephanie 's fault . i promise you she is going to regret do -- sis , i got to go . i love you . thorne : champagne for the beautiful lady . donna : thank you . thorne : you know , i wanted our trip to vegas to be special . and it has been . but then , i 'm kind of sensing that you do n't want to be here together . i 'm wrong ? [ scene_break ] andy : so , tell me , are you in the match making business ? stephanie : no , although some people might think i am at this particular moment . it 's just that -- my ex - daughter - in - law is going through a difficult time . her marriage is over , she 's lost custody of the kids . she needs someone to bring some warmth into her life . andy : okay , but why me ? stephanie : fate . you 're at the right place at the right time . and you seem like a decent fellow . as i 've said before , you 're very attractive and i would be willing to bet that she still has your name and your phone number on that cocktail napkin . [ scene_break ] donna : i should have thought about this before we -- before -- it just -- now that we 're here , i 'm just realizing -- thorne : realizing what ? donna : this is all it 's ever going to be . sneaking around so your family does n't find out . i know a fling is enough for some women . but i already told you , i 'm not like that . and i know your mother thinks i am a tramp , but -- thorne : you know what ? stop , please , okay ? my mother 's wrong . do n't worry about my mother . donna : do n't worry ? i 'm a logan , you 're a forrester . it 's not like we can ever spend our lives together . thorne : my mother does not run my life . donna : that woman pulls the strings of everyone in your family . and you cross her , and you will pay the price -- just like my sister has . stephanie has taken away her children . and she 'll take you away from me , too . and i ca n't go through that kind of heartache . [ scene_break ] bridget : carl , what in god 's name were you thinking ? what were you about to say to them ? carl : well , what were you thinking , not pushing an amnio , when we both know there 's a chance that the embryo implanted in to taylor came from your mother , and not from some 22-year - old donor ? bridget : no -- i do not believe that there was a mix - up , carl . carl : but if you could have just tested the dna , compared it with your mother somehow -- bridget : but taylor 's dna is also in the amniotic fluid , so that test would have proved nothing . carl : i 'm just saying -- bridget : i know what you 're just saying , but i really need you to stop . taylor 's baby came from the donor , not from my mother . do you hear me ? please do not bring this up again . [ scene_break ] nick : i really was n't planning on working tonight , but when we got home , taylor got a call from a patient , went into the office , so -- brooke : so instead of sitting at home twiddling your thumbs , you decide you would check up on me . nick : first of all , i do n't `` twiddle . `` and secondly , i 'm not checking up on you . you 're an employee who 's been distraught . brooke : you 're checking up on me . nick : i did want to know how your visit with the kids went , if you want to talk about it . brooke : that 's all i want to talk about . it 's all i think about , spending time with hope and r.j. making every second count that i spend with them . just seems so empty here -- my life without the kids [ scene_break ] andy : okay , let 's just say i do look her up . do n't you think she might be kind of freaked out ? i mean , some guy she met two weeks ago in a bar , tracks her down , calls her up -- stephanie : well , you 'd have to go about it just the right way . um , you could send her flowers , buy her a gift -- andy : something romantic . stephanie : or you come at it from the point of view that you want to apologize in person for spilling the drink . yes ? andy : that 's it . stephanie : okay . nothing ventured , nothing gained . andy , it was delightful talking to you . andy : it was a pleasure to meet you . stephanie : have a nice evening . thanks pete . andy : pete , who is that lady ? pete : that was stephanie forrester . she 's head of forrester originals , the fashion company . pop , pop ! quiz , quiz !

katie : who are you lying to , steffy or me ? because we both seem to think that you 're breaking it off with the other . bill : you should n't have gone to see her . what if something happened to you ? katie : answer my question . are you leaving me ? [ scene_break ] steffy : dad . ridge : so this is the new place . steffy : um , yeah . uh , i just moved in . i 'm sorry i have n't told you . ridge : you have n't told me about quite a lot , so it seems .

[ scene_break ] ridge : steffy , i know you 've had an infatuation with bill , but to call it love ? steffy : it is , dad . ridge : it 's out of nowhere . it just does n't make sense . steffy : dad , i wanted bill when i got back from paris . ridge : again , infatuation . how did this turn into love ? steffy : well , when we rescued thomas . ridge : what ? steffy : yeah , he kissed me , and he told me he loved me . ridge : back then ? steffy : mm - hmm . yeah , dad , this is n't some reaction because you left mom . we have real feelings for each other . ridge : steffy , bill 's married to katie . that is what 's real . steffy : being married to mom did n't stop you from being with your destiny . look , i do n't even want to talk to you about marriage , okay ? i want bill . he wants me . and we love each other , and you 're just gon na have to learn to accept it .

( sighs ) he never should have let this get so carried away . he should have pushed steffy away the minute she looked sideways at him . taylor : excuse me . it takes two people to cheat , brooke . it 's not just steffy . brooke : please . if this were anybody else , you would be calling her a home wrecker ... taylor : what ? brooke : or something worse . i know from experience . look at what steffy did . taylor : she fell in love . brooke : she pursued a married man , got him to fall for her , and she had no respect for his wife . taylor : right , the same way you respected me as ridge 's wife . brooke : look , this has nothing to do with us . this is about your daughter hurting my sister . bill is going to stay with katie , and steffy will be hurt , so you need to be there . you need to help her through this , and you need to get her to realize she ca n't hang onto this crazy fantasy of hers . taylor : ( sighs ) brooke : it 's not healthy , taylor . do n't let steffy cling to something that is not going to happen . [ scene_break ] bill : i 'm not leading anybody on . i 'm trying to be honest with both of you . katie : but this is n't an open marriage , bill . bill : i know . and looking at you right now , it 's obvious where i need to be . katie : how are you looking at me ? as a hospital patient ? someone to pity until her heart gives out ? bill : i 'm looking at the woman i married . i see you as i did that day -- beautiful . i see you as the woman i committed my life to . i did n't write any vows , if you remember . i just spoke from the heart -- me , dollar bill spencer , maybe for the first time in my life . katie : ( sighs ) bill : you asked me why i married you . bill : no woman in the world could have inspired me to think that i even had a heart , let alone speak from it . katie : until steffy came along . you let her in . you let her become a factor in our marriage . i - i should have been more vocal about her presence in your life . bill : you were plenty vocal , katie . hell , you walked out on me . katie : and i am not going to apologize for that any longer . ( sighs ) yes , i walked out , and i had a damn good reason . i think any woman , any sane woman , would need a little breathing room after finding out that her husband was planning to kill someone . so you have abandonment issues . my dad left , too . you find a way to get over it . you do n't go crazy every time someone walks out the door . you know what ? i have an idea , bill . here 's an idea . how about therapy ? ( laughs ) i know . i 'm sorry . i forgot bill spencer does n't do therapy . bill : k - katie , please calm down . you -- katie : i want to make something very clear . if you decide to come back , it will be me that makes the decision as to whether i want you back . and if i do , things will change in this marriage . i will not be so tolerant . you 're an attractive man and i get that girls like steffy will throw themselves at you , but you will not touch them . you will not kiss them . you will be a stronger man than that . because i want a man of integrity , and if that 's not you , then i do n't want you . if that 's not you , then you should leave right now . i 'm serious . go to steffy , the other woman you love . [ scene_break ] taylor : you know , brooke , i - i really do n't need you to tell me how to counsel my daughter i have talked to her already . she is an adult , all right ? and she has her own feelings . brooke : so you just stand by and let her wreak havoc on somebody else 's marriage ? taylor : no , that is not what i 'm doing . i told her to end things with bill . i told bill that he ca n't come to my house anymore . all right ? but it only pushed her away . she went and got her own place . really and truly , you should have a lot of sympathy for her , brooke . she 's in a lose - lose situation . she 's either going to get her heart broken , or she 's going to be under constant attack by you and your entire family . brooke : deservedly so . she is out of control , and it 's your responsibility to get her to stop . taylor : no , it 's my responsibility as her mother to be someone that she trusts and that she feels safe with . and i 'm not going to tell my daughter that she should just turn off her emotions and not feel anything , and i 'm certainly not going to make her feel like she 's not worthy of bill 's love . and you know what ? sometimes marriages fail . so maybe you need to prepare yourself , brooke , that your sister 's in one of those kind of marriages . [ scene_break ] ridge : brooke seems to think that bill is staying with katie . steffy : that 's her sister . of course , she 's gon na say that . ridge : apparently , bill has made promises to her , too . steffy : okay , well , he 's made promises to me . ridge : well , then someone 's lying here , sweetheart and , frankly , i do n't like your odds . listen , his wife just had a heart attack . you think he 's gon na leave her now ? would you even want to be with a man who did that ? steffy : uh , obviously , it 's gon na take time but i trust bill . and i want to let him do this on his own . he 's gon na be there for katie right now . but eventually , he 's gon na leave her and be with me . [ scene_break ] katie : do n't look at me like that , like you 're surprised . bill : well , i am . katie : you did n't marry me because you wanted some wallflower . oh , i once was . katie logan , looking out her bedroom window watching the world go by . well , i 'm not a watcher anymore . i have a voice , and i will be heard . bill : i 'd like to think i had something to do with that . katie : you did . we 've transformed each other . you gained a heart , and i gained a backbone . i think that makes us a good pair . do you really want to throw all that away ? steffy is younger than me . that 's true . and she 's sexy . i 'll give her that . but so what ? so are all of the other women you 've ever dated -- hundreds of versions of steffy . bill : ( sighs ) katie : i mean you really want to go back to that , throw away your marriage and walk down that road again ? would n't you get bored after a few weeks ? of course , you would . end it with her . bill : and hope you 'll forgive me ? katie : no . and beg me to forgive you . bill : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] ridge : the confidence in your voice , sweetheart , really scares me . i just do n't want you to get hurt . steffy : i wo n't be . ridge : have you even talked to bill yet ? since katie 's heart attack to know where his mind is ? steffy : actually , he was just here . we talked about it . and katie showed up . ridge : what ? steffy : well , she came after bill left . she snuck out of the hospital , to tell me stay away from her husband . ridge : for god 's sake , sweetheart . steffy : no , no . actually , it 's a good thing , because it 's going to make her face reality . he 's going to stay with her long enough till this crisis is over . i 'm the woman he wants to be with . you 'll see , its okay . ridge : oh , i 'm sorry , honey . i do n't trust bill . i never have . i do n't think he 's being very honest with you and he 's going to let you down . [ scene_break ] bill : beg your forgiveness ? katie : if i take you back . it 's going to be different . bill : meaning ? katie : i will call you out if you 're acting like a fool . and you will listen to me . i 'm not going to stand by and watch this kind of nonsense happen ever again . if i tell you something you do n't like hearing . you will take it like the man you are . i 'm not going to share you with another woman , bill . not sex , not an inappropriate look , not a suggestive touch , never . because i 'm the best thing that 's ever happened to you , bill spencer . if you ca n't see that , than you can open up the door and walk out . if you want to be with steffy , leave . and do n't come back . i 'm making this really easy for you . i do n't need any speeches , i do n't need any apologizes , goodbyes . all you have to do is leave . bill : i want you , katie spencer . everything you said is right . everything . i love you . and i need you . and i 'm not leaving you . take me back . | last three minutes missing due to president obama 's special report statement . |

[ seagulls calling ] liam : quinn 's never gon na stop . she 's never gon na change . and wyatt is guilty in this , too , by the way . how many times have you asked him , begged him to keep her away from you , and how many times has he failed you ? i am the only one who will protect you from this . steffy : [ sighs ] wyatt : my mom 's gone . she called me from the airport , said she 's taking a flight back to l.a . i am so sorry . i wish she 'd never come . i ... i - i hate -- i hate that she 's making you feel this way . caroline : quinn and eric ? ! thomas : i could n't believe it , either . of all people , after everything that she 's done to steffy . caroline : and liam ! ugh ! so they 've just been seeing each other in secret ? thomas : granddad 's been lonely , but -- but w - w - what was he thinking ? seriously ? quinn must have manipulated . she -- she had to have manipulated him into thinking that she 's not absolutely insane . caroline : so quinn just flew to monte carlo after steffy warned her to stay away from the family ? thomas : steffy 's really upset about all of this . i - i can only imagine what it 's gon na do to her marriage . vivienne : well , i 'd say that was a big success . rick : [ chuckles ] vivienne : you did a good job , lizzy girl . sasha : she could not have looked cuter in that little christening gown . vivienne : oh , it 's the same one maya and nicole wore when they got baptized . maya : i ca n't believe you kept it all these years . julius : well , we knew we would have a grandbaby at some point . rick : thanks to auntie nicole . vivienne : yeah . maya : we are forever grateful . nicole : best decision i 've ever made . and you are the second best decision i 've ever made . maya : well , listen , this one has had a long day . i think we need to put her down for a nap . rick : oh , i 'll take care of it . maya : okay . rick : come here , sweet baby . maya : aww . rick : aww . say goodbye ! bye - bye ! vivienne : bye - bye ! nicole : bye ! vivienne : happy nappy ! maya : so ... things seem good between zende and you . nicole : you noticed ? maya : did you ... nicole : a few nights ago . maya : [ gasps ] really ? nicole : yes . maya : oh , i am so happy for you two .

what ? caroline , what -- caroline : i 'm gon na go to my moms ' house in the hamptons for a little while and -- and just [ sighs ] -- just get away from it all . and i 'm taking douglas . wyatt : i spoke to eric , too . he says that it 's over with my mom . steffy : they never should have been involved in the first place . wyatt : i know . steffy : quinn completely took advantage of my grandfather . wyatt : i know ! that 's why when we get back to l.a. , i 'm gon na make sure that she stays away , that she wo n't go near you or him or -- or anyone with the last name forrester ! i promised you ! steffy : wyatt , we 've already had this conversation so many times . wyatt : i know that ! but this is the last straw , all right ? what she did by coming here , i 'm done ! steffy : [ sighs ] she 's your mom , wyatt . she 's always gon na be around . she 's -- she 's always gon na be in your life . i just do n't know if that 's something i can handle anymore . sasha : hey . zende : hey . sasha : [ chuckles ] are we cool ? i mean , it 's -- it 's not weird , is it ? zende : look , whatever happened between us is in the past . i do n't see a reason why we ca n't be friends . sasha : good . so , it , um , seems like you and nicole are doing pretty well . zende : great , actually . could n't be better . sasha : well , i 'm really excited for you guys . you seem even more committed , as if that was humanly possible . zende : nicole and i are closer than we 've ever been . maya : so ... nicole : so ... maya : so , i want to know everything that happened with you and zende . nicole : i am not giving you the details , maya ! maya : oh , come on , nicole . i 'm married . nicole : oh , my -- maya : no , i 'm kidding , i 'm kidding . i do n't want those details . i just want to know that it was a positive experience . nicole : it was . it was such a beautiful night . zende went above and beyond . dinner , candles , music . it could n't have been more romantic . maya : you know i never wanted this pregnancy to get in the way of anything . and ... then it did . and , uh , old sasha swooped in . nicole : you know , i 'm not worried about sasha . i know how zende feels about me and what we have . no one can take that away . thomas : you 're -- you 're taking douglas ? caroline : we fly out today . thomas : today ? ! caroline ! caroline : i would have told you sooner . it 's just that i literally just decided . i - i kind of thought it was the perfect time . and , you know , i 'm gon na go and let my moms get to know douglas , let -- let them spend time with their grandson . thomas : are -- are you coming back ? caroline : yes . we 're only gon na be gone for a little bit . thomas : how long ? caroline : i 'm not sure . it 's not like we 're moving or anything . thomas : new york . that 's -- that 's just so far away . i -- to not -- to not be able to see you , caroline , to not be able to see my son every day ... caroline : i know that it 's gon na be hard , but you can come and visit as often as you want . it 's an open door . and i do n't want you to think that i 'm trying to take your son away from you . thomas : that 's exactly what it feels like . caroline : well , it feels really sudden for me , too . thomas : then do n't go . do n't go . caroline : i need to . i need to go and clear my head , and i - i really do n't feel like i can do that in l.a. ridge and i are getting divorced , and pretty soon the whole world is gon na know that douglas is your son , and that is just -- that 's a lot for me all at once . thomas : trust me . i get it . i do . i understand this . i 'm -- i 'm still desperately trying to figure all of this out right now . but that would be so much easier to do if you were here with my son . caroline : i promise we 'll be back . thomas : [ sighs ] i 'm holding you to that . and when you get back ... we 're -- we 're gon na figure all of this out . caroline : you 've been so caring and understanding and honest about your feelings for me . i just think you 're an amazing guy , thomas . and any girl would be so lucky to have you . wyatt : look , steffy , just forget about her . i 'm not subjecting you to her anymore . steffy : you 've said that before , wyatt . wyatt : i know , but it 's like you said ! she 's my mother ! it 's not that simple ! steffy : stop ! you -- you get to decide who 's worthy enough to be in your life or not , and quinn 's not ! she does n't deserve your loyalty ! she 's taking advantage of your forgiveness ! and she 's manipulated everyone that i care about ! [ scoffs ] i 'm done . i - i ca n't -- i ca n't do this anymore . wyatt : wait , what exactly are you saying to me ? caroline : i hope you 're not upset with me . and i realize that it is asking a lot for you to be okay with . thomas : if we 're being honest ? i 'm disappointed . i 'm not thrilled that you 're leaving like this . but i get it . i know that you need this . and i 'm not gon na make you feel bad about that . but i swear , if -- if you are there for too long , i will get on a jet and i will fly you right back here , all right ? caroline : [ chuckles ] you really are an exceptional guy . you know that ? and i do n't take it for granted at all how lucky i am that you are the father of my child or how fortunate douglas is that you 're his dad . thomas : what are you -- what are you trying to say ? caroline : i guess i 'm saying that i 'm open to whatever the future holds . but i just have to heal myself first . and i do n't know how long that 's gon na take . but ... i do n't expect you to wait for me . [ seagulls calling ] wyatt : you ca n't let her get to you like this . you ca n't let her affect our marriage ! steffy : quinn is a criminal ! quinn is evil ! wyatt : [ scoffs ] steffy : and i have always known that ! i guess i just did n't fully realize what i was getting myself into when i signed up to be her daughter - in - law ! i thought maybe i could keep her at arm 's length . i thought maybe you were able to contain her and that she would respect our wishes ! but she 's not capable of cooperating . she 's -- she 's unstable . and if she goes anywhere near -- anywhere near my grand -- wyatt : i hear you , steff . i heard you . steffy : good . 'cause whether we get a restraining order or we get her arrested , whatever -- whatever steps we have to take , we are doing it . she 's not good for you . she -- she does n't -- she does n't have your best interests at heart . i do ! i do ! we just need her out of our lives ! wyatt : okay . steffy : okay . wyatt : yeah . steffy : well , i need -- i need to hear how . i - i need to know that you 're gon na take care of this . wyatt : [ sighs ] steffy : i need to know that you 're going to protect us . wyatt : i will ! i will protect us ! i will always protect you !

[ laughter ] please , do n't forget to thank brooke when she gets home . it was so lovely of her to set this whole thing up . rick : i will . sasha : it 's really special for me to be here with all you guys , finally getting to enjoy some time with my family . thank you so much for inviting me . rick : we 're glad you could make it , sasha . zende : thank you all for letting me crash this , uh , family party . nicole : you 're not crashing . you 're family . maya : well , i 'm glad that all of you could make it . thank you for being here for this important milestone in lizzy 's life . thanks for your support . and not just of lizzy , but of rick , too . vivienne : this is a good man . and a good man is hard to find , sweetheart . julius : i could n't agree more . rick : how about we go to the living room , get comfortable ? vivienne : okay . sasha : oh , i 'll grab dessert . vivienne : good . want something sweet . julius : sasha . we need to talk . sasha : is there a problem , dad ? julius : i think you need to back off a little . do n't push it . sasha : what are you talking about ? i was invited . julius : yeah , in part out of obligation . let 's just put it like this . i do n't think all has been forgiven just yet . sasha : what happened to `` we 're the avants . we 're a family . we stick together `` ? oh , but you would have said anything in that family meeting if it got aunt viv to forgive you . julius : everything i said in that family meeting i meant . and the avants do stick together . sasha : right . except for me . i 'm not an avant . i 'm just your daughter by blood . julius : let us not forget that you almost cost me my marriage when you decided to liberate yourself . sasha : will you ever stop resenting me ? you made a mistake with my mother ! you did something you regret ! but i am not a mistake ! julius : you are a mistake . sasha : a father does n't say that to his child . julius : oh , now that i 'm telling the truth , you want me to lie . you ca n't have it both ways , baby . no , see , our secret is out . there 's no more hiding . it 's time for you to go home . because , see , what you do n't see is the look in vivienne 's eyes every time she looks at you . now , she tries to hide it , but it 's obvious to me . every time she looks at you , she sees all those years of that terrible secret . sasha : that secret that i told because you made me ? ! dad , i am finally a part of a family moment -- my niece 's baptism -- and you are ruining it for me ! julius : no ! i am reminding you that you are not an avant or a forrester ! sasha : i am a model at forrester creations . julius : my daughter maya is married to a forrester . and hopefully my daughter nicole will be married to a forrester . there is no forrester in your future . so , enjoy your bon - bons . finish your champagne . and then say goodbye . thomas : [ sighs ] you 're all packed up ? caroline : [ sighs ] yeah . it felt weird packing up all of my stuff and all of douglas ' baby things . leaving this house ... thought it 'd be home forever . thomas : it 'll be good for you . as hard as this is for , uh , me right now , i can see how much you need it . caroline : thank you for being so supportive and for not preventing me from taking douglas . i -- thomas : he 's -- he 's a little baby . he needs his mom just as much as you need him . caroline : we 'll be back soon . thomas : taking your word for it . caroline : we will . and i 'm gon na send you all of the photos of douglas , and you guys can video chat as much as you want . it 'll be like we never even left . thomas : good . our son 's growing up fast . [ sighs ] i ca n't -- i ca n't miss that . i need to be around for that . caroline : and you will be . i will make sure of it . i promise . thomas : okay . go -- go do what you got to do , but , caroline ... come home . wyatt : you are everything to me , steffy . we are married . we are partners . and if this is what you need , then -- then this is what you 'll get , whatever it takes , all right ? steffy : i - i hate this . i hate putting you in this position . wyatt : you 're not doing this . you did n't create this . my mother did ! this is her fault ! i - i 've asked her to stay away . like , this one thing -- i beg her to do one thing for me , which is do n't interfere , stay away from steffy and her family . simple ! and then what does she do ? she shows up here in monaco . steffy : she 's put you through so much your entire life . she 's put all of us through so much . but we need to put a stop to it . she 's dangerous . she 's too much of a liability . wyatt : i know . i 've just -- i 've given her so many chances , you know ? i - i just ... i wanted to believe that she could change . but she ca n't . she ca n't do that , and she never will . i - i got to let her go . steffy : will you really be able to do that ? wyatt : [ sighs ] i 'm your husband . it is my job to protect you , to keep you safe . and right now , you 're not safe with her around . so you know what ? she 's got to go . she is out of our lives . you 're my wife , steffy . i ca n't -- i ca n't live without you . you 're the only thing that matters to me . . it 's not for him . he 's even looking like he 's frustrated and do n't want to be here . why ? it is not right . | steffy thinks back over what liam just said that quinn is never going to change and she needs to come back to him . wyatt returns and says his mom is gone and going back to l.a . he knows he has promised steffy before but this is the last straw . he will see quinn when they get back and make sure she knows to stay away . steffy says good as she is done and can not do this anymore . wyatt wants to know just exactly she is saying . she says she needs to hear the words . they have to get a restraining order or have quinn arrested . she does not deserve wyatt in her life . steffy has his best interest , not quinn . he says okay he will take care of it this time . thomas fills caroline in on eric and quinn and how upset steffy is over this . thomas tells her he will handle all the press so douglas 's paternity will be okay . she says she thinks it is the perfect time for her to go see her moms . he says he will miss seeing his son every day . she says he has an open door and can come see them any time . he asks her not to go but she says she has to . pretty soon the whole world will know thomas is his son and that is more than she can handle right now . she laments what an exceptional guy he is and she feels so lucky that he is douglas 's father . she will be open to any future she has with thomas although she does not know how long that may take . |
quinn : you 're really giving me another chance ? i can stay ? eric : we will stay -- you ... me ... her . we 're all where we belong . katie : that was a really big mistake . you ca n't just walk in here and -- and start kissing me . it 's -- it 's ridiculous . wyatt : you did n't like it ? katie : i did n't say that . wyatt : okay . so , then , what 's the problem ? katie : well , for starters , anyone could walk in here . wyatt : we 'd give them something to talk about . katie : and you would n't care ? wyatt : absolutely not . and that was very clever of you , by the way , earlier , when you set me up with charlotte . katie : it was clever , was n't it ? she 's such a lovely , young , young , young woman . wyatt : oh , my god . she 's cute , yes . she laughs at my jokes . that gets her extra points . katie : see ? wyatt : but the thing is ... i am not standing here in front of charlotte , now , am i ? katie : this is all very , um ... tempting and -- wyatt : and ? katie : and ridiculously wrong on so many levels . wyatt : [ chuckles ] katie : you should really -- you should just go . wyatt : no . katie : you ca n't -- you ca n't say no ! wyatt : i j -- i just did . katie : you have lost your mind . wyatt : [ chuckles ] i know . quinn : who are you ? this amazing man ... with this huge heart ... and its capacity for forgiveness . eric : i believe in you , quinn . quinn : that 's so much more than i deserve . but i am never going to let you down . [ telephone rings ] hmm . ugh ! eric : hello ? pam : eric ? i - i - i was calling for quinn . you 're home ? eric : i 'm home . pam : are you okay ? eric : i 'm better than i 've been for a while . i 'm home with my wife . we 're giving our marriage a second chance . and before you start going on about this , i do n't want to hear a word of it . pam : look , i 'd rather have you back with her than with that whack job sheila . charlie : you 've got to be kidding me ! you ca n't really be doing this ! sheila : clearly , i am . beatrice : i ... i think we 've accomplished enough for a first sitting . sheila : wow . that is wonderful , beatrice . beatrice : oh , you 're a good subject . same time tomorrow ? sheila : that sounds great . thank you . that went well . charlie : so , what are you gon na do , sheila ? you gon na march over to eric 's with your self - commissioned portrait and slap it up on the wall ? sheila : a girl 's got to be ready , charlie . charlie : you are so deluding yourself if you think that is ever gon na grace a forrester wall . sheila : why not ? stephanie had a portrait ! quinn has a portrait ! i was eric 's wife ! i want one , too ! you know , i really do n't care if it ever hangs on the walls of the forrester house it 's the principle of it ! charlie : okay ! all right . sheila : [ sighs ] but ... i really feel confident that it will . if there 's one thing that i 've learned , it 's what 's yours will come to you . wyatt : i 'm not trying to minimize your concerns here , okay ? there 's no real reason why we should n't , you know , explore this . katie : oh , i can think of a few real reasons . wyatt : okay . well , do n't , because i 'll just shoot it down , because this is what it boils down to , okay ? you and i are adults , both single , and we 're free to do what we want with whom . katie : it 's not really about wanting . i mean , you 're -- you 're awesome , right ? you 're charming and you 're sexy , and you make me laugh , but -- wyatt : but ? katie : but there are some real issues that we can not just ignore . there 's quinn and bill and our age difference . i mean , that does n't bother you > wyatt : this coming from the same woman who tried to hook me up with charlotte ? katie : okay , fine . that was -- that was silly . i should n't have done that . wyatt : let me just ask you something , okay ? when we 're close like this ... do you still think about why we 're wrong for each other ? katie : no . wyatt : are you thinking about anything at all ? katie : no . wyatt : no ? katie : no . charlie : i ca n't believe that you think you have a chance of being mrs . eric forrester again . sheila : you underestimate me . charlie : yeah , well , you underestimate quinn . that woman is no joke . she is evil and possessive , and nothing -- nothing -- is beneath her . and , unfortunately for you , eric thinks that she hung the moon , which should have been dazzlingly obvious to you when he went home to her ! sheila : why do you assume a reconciliation is happening ? charlie : why else would eric go back into a house with a woman that betrayed him with his own son ? sheila : to say he wants a divorce . charlie : [ scoffs ] you really think that 's happening ? sheila : eric had time to think about what ridge and quinn did , time to see me for the woman that i truly am now . i would n't be surprised if he 's kicking her out of his life as we speak . quinn : i never realized how big this house was until you were n't here . it always feels so cozy when it 's just the two of us . eric : i was gone . i - i - i 'm sorry . but i needed to find my way ... back again . quinn : i 'm just so glad that you did . eric : i was empty without you . quinn : how did i get so lucky ? eric : 'cause we 're connected . deeply connected . from the very first day ... you touched something in me that i did n't even know was there . quinn : i feel the exact same way . ohh . my husband is back ! he 's ba -- i can breathe again ! eric : [ laughs ] quinn : i can breathe again . eric : ah , my quinn this way -- my quinn in motion . do n't stop . do n't stop . come on . do me a favor , will you ? here . here . okay . [ mid - tempo music playing ] right there . stop . do n't move . wait for me . wait . okay . quinn : [ chuckles softly ] katie : okay . whoa , whoa , whoa . okay . i need to -- i need to slow this down . wyatt : [ sighs ] okay . [ sighs ] i can do that . katie : i mean it 's -- it 's not that i don't ... want to . it 's just ... we 're friends , right ? we 're ... friends with benefits ? wyatt : i mean , is that -- is that what we are ? katie : yeah . i mean , what would you call it ? wyatt : i 'm attracted to you . you 're attracted to me . we do n't have to put a label on it . katie : oh , see , that 's a problem . that 's a problem , because i like to label things . i like to compartmentalize them so i can analyze them and get all the information so i can make a clear , responsible choice . what ? wyatt : [ laughing ] what ? ! you -- your -- your brain is , like , so active right now . you just -- it must be a real challenge to just shut that thing off ! i mean , how do you -- how do you get katie to stop thinking and just feel ? katie : and then what ? wyatt : who knows ? katie : you do n't care ? wyatt : about a future i ca n't control ? no . katie : so , this is just fun ? wyatt : yeah . katie : you know what i think , wyatt ? wyatt : what ? katie : i think it 's about time we had some fun . wyatt : [ chuckles ] i think so , too . charlie : so , did , uh , eric say he was divorcing quinn ? sheila : no . charlie : did he say he was kicking her out of his life ? sheila : no , but ... why would he go back to her ? charlie : well ... once again , you 're underestimating quinn . nothing sticks to her for very long . sheila : well , maybe i should go over there . charlie : you 'd look like a stalker and , you know , creepy and weird . [ cellphone rings ] oh , god . it 's pam . she can not know that i am here , okay ? hi , honey . how are you ? pam : charlie , where are you ? charlie : out and about . you need me back at the office ? pam : you are not gon na believe what just happened ? charlie : well , then , i guess you better tell me . pam : eric and quinn are back together . charlie : back together ? you sure about that ? pam : he 's back home . i heard it from eric himself . how long are you gon na be ? charlie : uh ... i 'll -- i 'll be back there soon . love you . [ cellphone beeps ] sheila : he took her back ? charlie : yeah . look , i know that you 'd hoped for something ... different . sheila : [ voice breaking ] eric forgave her ? how could he ? how could he do that ? eric : i hated that i could n't touch you -- your face ... your mouth ... your hands . quinn : my hands ? my hands ? really ? my hands ? eric : yes , your hands . everything about you . when i came home , i looked out on , um -- out on the patio , and i saw where you were almost shot and ... you were almost killed . the thought of you ... not being here is just unbearable to me . that 's when i realized i was right to come home . quinn : i 'm never gon na give you a reason to leave . never again . wyatt : do you have any idea how great you are ? katie : oh . you do n't have to say that . wyatt : katie ... look at me . if i do n't mean it , it does n't go past these lips , okay ? you 're gorgeous . katie : [ chuckles ] wyatt : i find you sexy . you 're smart and you 're funny . and you 're a little overanalytical and you like to label things . god knows what your fridge looks like . katie : i 'm telling you , the labeler is an amazing device . wyatt : oh , my god ! okay ! katie : that 's all i 'm saying . wyatt : i just think it balances out my impulsiveness ... and vice versa . and i also think that 's why we make such a good team . charlie : you all right ? sheila : [ sniffles ] yeah . just a momentary lapse . charlie : look , i know you 're disappointed that eric went back with quinn , but , honestly -- and this is gon na be tough to hear -- it 's really none of your business . sheila : eric is my business . charlie : he 's married to quinn . he chose her . sheila : so , are you saying that i should -- i should just give up and ... hand him over politely ? charlie : eric is n't yours to give , sheila . sheila : yeah , well , he was ... long before quinn ever came into the picture , and he will be again . she is shady . there is so much hidden there , and i 'm gon na find it and i am gon na take her down . and this -- this portrait -- it will hang on eric 's wall . if you tell anyone anything about my plan ... you 're gon na hang , too . eric : i have missed that . quinn : what ? eric : that beautiful smile . quinn : [ chuckles softly ] the one that did n't exist before you started loving me . i was ... such a dark soul when we first met . but ... [ sighs ] ... you embraced me . you embraced all of me , even my flaws , and your faith -- it filled me up with light and love , and -- and i do n't know . now i [ chuckles ] feel like i can -- i can ... burst from happiness . eric : my heart 's pretty full right now , too . quinn : we found each other twice . how blessed we are . i just never want to feel as hollow as i did when you left , especially knowing that i brought that on myself . from this day forward , i want to celebrate what we are together . i want to dedicate myself to you , to our marriage ... to the woman that i see reflected back in your eyes . eric : i do n't expect you to be flawless or perfect . i just -- i just want you committed . quinn : sometimes you almost have to lose something in order to ... to appreciate it . i appreciate you . and to call the greatest man in the world my husband ... i love you . and i am 100 % committed to you . never doubt that . | quinn can not believe it eric is giving her another chance . he says yes , they are where they all belong . she remarks this is more than she deserves and she will never let him down again . pam calls the house and is surprised to find eric answering the phone . he says he does not want to hear one negative word but he has come home to stay and quinn is too . he tells quinn from the very first day he met her she touched something in him that he did not know was there . she sighs that she can breathe again . he wants her to do him a favor and he starts playing the piano and she dances around . then he tells her to stop right there and do n't move . he moves into her arms and gives her a big hug . katie laments to wyatt that he ca n't just come in here at work and start kissing on her . he wants to know if she did not like it . she says she did not say that . he has lost his mind as anyone could walk in . he retorts that will give them something to talk about and he is not worried about that . by time they move to the couch , katie tells wyatt that she needs to slow this down . it is not that she does not want to but they are friends .friends with benefits or whatever he wants to call it . she says she likes to label things so she can deal with it . he laughs and says she needs to shut that brain off right now and just be . she says okay they will just have fun . |
deacon : no , it 's cool . i 'm -- i guess i 'm leaving , right ? massimo : do n't go . this wo n't take long . come in . jackie : when you said that you wanted to see me , i was hoping that it meant that we could just -- massimo : after all these weeks of pleading for my forgiveness , that it finally it had paid off . with me , anyway . well , even you must realize that your relationship with dominick may never recover . jackie : please do n't say that . massimo : he continues to shut you out . jackie : he 's hurting . that 's all . i have to believe that in time , he will -- massimo : mm - hmm . all will be forgiven . jackie : i am his mother , massimo . i love him and i would do anything to make things right with my son again and my husband . please . massimo , i 'm begging you . do n't do this , i ca n't take it anymore . i mean -- i do n't sleep , i hardly eat . i miss you so much . i miss our life together , darling . can you please just see it in your heart to give me another chance , to make up for all the pain that i have caused you . massimo , i 'm begging you . let me come home , darling . let me be your wife again . i 'm begging you . please . massimo : take your hand off me . jackie : what ? massimo : take your hand off me . i thought i married a woman of integrity . but you lied to me over and over and over . you made a mockery of our vows . and now you stand here , begging for a second chance ? all the time talking about our family as if it means something to you ? jackie : it does . massimo : you turned your back on this family months ago . you do n't deserve to be a marone . and you never will be -- jackie : no ! massimo : -- again . divorce papers . jackie : massimo , no -- massimo : sign and return them to my attorney ! jackie : no ! massimo : you -- i can not trust you . i have n't been able to trust you for months . and when trust goes out of a marriage , there is nothing left ! take the papers ! jackie : no ! deacon : massimo ! what the hell are you doing ! massimo : excuse me . jackie : deacon , do n't . please do n't . deacon : you feel like a big man now ? massimo : this is no longer any of your concern . deacon : the hell it is n't . [ scene_break ] ridge : this is so crazy . we 're talking about the future of forrester creations here . you 're gon na entrust it to these two ? thorne : ridge , there 's no reason to jump all over -- ridge : just shut up , thorne ! eric : all right . i 've heard enough . i 've heard enough ! i did n't start this company years ago to have it end up like this . forrester creations is a family business . that 's always been its true strength . but now my two sons tell me it 's too hard , it 's too difficult -- it 's impossible to work together as family . well , if that 's the case , then i do n't want to be here , either . if anybody 's leaving , it 's me . i 'm retiring . this is my last design here . i 'm done . ridge : dad , you ca n't possibly be serious . eric : you can have this office . thorne , you keep yours . you can run this business together or you can sell the place . but the one thing i wo n't do is stand here and watch this . these halls out here , i walk up and down those halls every day , and you know what i see ? i see my children . i see their faces . i see my two sons and i see my daughters , all of them working here . each one of you making your own mark on this company . i treasure those memories . they fill my heart . and i wo n't have those memories tainted by this . so i 'm calling it quits . especially if staying means i have to choose one son over the other . because to choose you over thorne -- or to choose you over ridge is unthinkable . amber : you 're too much . thomas : so that means you like the flowers . amber : are you kidding ? they 're incredible . i do n't know how to thank you . thomas : i can think of a way . deacon : how you doing ? sorry , that was a stupid question . jackie , i know you were hoping that massimo would take you back . but after the way the guy spoke to you in there , the hell that he 's put you through , jackie , you do n't need that kind of abuse . jackie : abuse ? deacon : you ca n't even see that that 's what it is , can you ? jackie : whatever it is , i deserve it . deacon : no ! nobody deserves to be treated like they 're nothing , no matter what they 've done . jackie , i know how you feel .

[ cellphone rings ] thomas : hey . steffy : how 's my cute nephew ? thomas : he 's asleep at the moment . steffy : he happy to have his daddy around ? thomas : it 's definitely where i need to be . steffy : how long are you staying ? thomas : i 'm not sure . it could be a while . steffy : well , like you said , it 's where you should be . with douglas and caroline . thomas : yeah . she needs me . justin : i do n't know , this is a big one , bill . you 're telling thomas that caroline is dying , and then you 're convincing your niece to play along . bill : trust me , she is not thrilled with the idea . justin : yeah , i 'll bet . bill : but then -- hallelujah ! there is a miracle cure ! but not until thomas is head over heels back in love with my niece . justin : man , you are something else , telling thomas that your niece is dying . bill : come on , justin ! we 're all dying ! we 're all on the way out ! so we might as well go out happy , right ? well , for caroline and me , that means thomas staying in new york , which is where he belonged in the first place . justin : oh , god . [ chuckles ] liam : i 'm just -- [ laughs ] i 'm trying to understand why thomas feels the need to relocate 3,000 miles away . sally : because that 's where douglas and caroline are ? i 'm surprised you do n't want him to . liam : i do n't have a dog in that fight . sally : okay , well , what about your cousin ? liam : what about her ? sally : your family must be devastated . liam : what , about caroline ? they do n't care ! she 's totally independent . and if she decides she wants a family with thomas , believe me , she 'll make it happen . sally : that is not what i 'm talking about . thomas and caroline are finished . i 'm talking about caroline 's condition . liam : her condition ? sally : yeah , she 's dying of an auto - immune disorder . should n't that take precedence over everything ? liam : what did you just say ? sally : you must know , right ? you 're a part of the family . caroline 's dying . bill : what a plan , huh ? put in place by the master himself . god , i 'm good . liam : you just said caroline is dying ? sally : you did n't know ? liam : oh , my god . my cousin is dying . | ridge calls a meeting with everyone attending . he tells them good news his dad and quinn are back together , as in re - united . they do not know all the details but that is enough for now . rj says but it could happen again . ridge says no , it wo n't . sally tells her crew that thomas is in new york with his son .and yes caroline is his mother and is there too . sally states that she does not feel threatened . and with bill not announcing who the winner at the summit was she is going to take that as that spectra won . grams says they still have questions like why did thomas have to go to new york when they need his designs . sally says she has some designs . grams said this old battleship could still go under . liam shows up and asks if this is a bad time for an interview , but he was looking for thomas . sally tells him sorry but he is stuck with her . liam asks sally how she feels about her first national show . she says they could have been named the winner but .thomas calls her at that moment . he says it is rough and he knows douglas is going to miss his mom but they are staying strong for her . he tells sally he does not know when he will return . he can not even think of that now . she will have to take the lead . he believes in her and she has the chops to do this . bill praises his skyscraper and thinks to himself that sally better be ready to fall and his beautiful skyscraper ready to grace the sky . bill tells justin do not think of his skyscraper as an `` it `` . she is a thing of beauty and all spectra has to do is take a nosedive and his skyscraper will become a reality . things do not happen by accident . justin should know that . bill confides in justin that caroline is dying so that is why thomas is away and sally will be working alone at spectra . bill gloats that thomas is in new york where he should be in the first place . justin is stunned and even more so when bill tells him all the information is not accurate at all , otherwise thomas would be here designing the latest collection . so that means spectra does n't have a prayer . |

[ stammers ] can you just listen to me ? you -- you can be kind of a mother to her . you c -- you could keep her here without uprooting her from her family . brooke : oh , my god , steffy ! you ca n't be serious ! ridge : all she 's saying is that this has been a blow for all of us . and ... the baby is happy , healthy , and -- and thriving here . hope : i am extremely grateful for everything that you have done , steffy . but it is time for beth to go home . none of us expected this , and yet here we are . and i have been given the impossible -- a second chance with my child , that i was told was dead , after months of grief and sadness , and you think i 'm walking out of her without her ? no . she is exactly right where she belongs . where she should have been since the day she was born . i am so thankful for the care you have given her all this time . but , steffy , my daughter is finally in my arms again . and i am not letting her go . i 'm taking my daughter . and you dare try to stop me . | steffy looks at beth and says no . that is phoebe . ridge argues with brooke and says they will deal with thomas later . right now he needs to concentrate and see steffy . eric praises sally 's sketches and says they are much faster they he expected . she says she should break relationships sooner . he says she does not have to pretend it does not hurt . and he is sorry that she and wyatt did not work it out . but there are worse things to get involved in than work . she says she has more going on than just wallowing and maybe she can get into online dating . he says she has many wonderful qualities . she says she just wished it had been wyatt . ridge launches into flo and says she took a baby and sold it . she is messing with people 's lives . and now it is not fair to steffy . he takes their purses and gets their driver 's licenses . liam tells a stunned steffy they can have all the genetic tests she wants done but the guilty parties have already confessed . beth was here the whole time with her and kelly and she is thriving . hope says she had given up on miracles but she is glad beth found her way back to her . almost crying , steffy keeps saying that is phoebe . she has been raising her and hope is not taking her anywhere . liam tries to calm things but steffy is crying by now and keeps calling beth phoebe and it is not fair for hope to try and erase her . hope says she is trying to be fair and she would never try to erase beth from her life . but steffy has to know that hope has been separated from beth far too long . steffy keeps saying she is not beth ; this is phoebe . she engages liam to try and explain to hope that she is not taking this baby home . he stammers around with his words but tells her they thought they had lost beth and was told she was dead . but now they have found her but they will not take her completely away from steffy . they will work something out . ridge and brooke come barging in and he runs to steffy and asks if she is ok . she rails that no , she is not . |
eric : you came back to us with a huge amount of energy and enthusiasm . after the year you 've had -- brooke : it was a difficult time for all of us . stephanie : not for everyone . while you and ridge were off sorting out your personal problems , thorne came into his own . eric : thorne , you 've spent your whole life learning this business . putting in the hours , paying your dues . that 's why we made you president . stephanie : because he earned it . eric : yes . along with the respect and the admiration of everybody in this building . we have two excellent leaders in this room . you both bring something different to the table -- different styles , different assets . if they were taken together , they would give this company an incredible edge in this business . ridge : but it would n't , dad . because we ca n't work together . thorne : and there ca n't be two leaders . you have to make a choice , dad . eric : i know . i have . eric : family unity is more to me than anything else . business comes second . thorne : so now this is a personal decision . eric : how could it not be , thorne ?

felicia : how about i 'm leaving ? nick : you 're just not used to it , are you ? felicia : used to what ? strange men meddling in my life ? nick : having somebody look out for you . felicia : i look out for myself . nick : how is that going for you ? felicia : better than you think . nick : 'cause you 're so tough , right ? felicia : no , i 'm not tough . i 'm strong . i 've had to be . and i would think that you would respect that . nick : i do respect that . felicia : oh , really ?

felicia : you 're not going to let it go , are you ? nick : no . the truth is , you do n't want me to . rick : amber , what are you doing here ? amber : big bear ? rick : you were eavesdropping . amber : what if i was ridge , huh ? i know he does n't want you seeing caitlin . rick : i 'm not discussing caitlin with you . amber : fine . then what about us ? rick : us ? amber : i still miss you , rick . i do . and i thought -- rick : we ca n't go back , amber . rick : look i 'm not trying to hurt you . amber : big bear was our place . rick : and we have lots of good memories there . amber : yeah . yeah , we do . we have great memories there . you ca n't forget that . i know i messed things up . i did really , really bad . but i can do better . i can . if you just -- just give me one more try . come on . i know i can make you happy . rick : i am happy , amber -- with caitlin . eric : look , thorne , why do n't you sit down for a moment ? thorne : no . stephanie : honey , i know this is a shock . if you would just give your father a chance to explain -- darla : stephanie , he understands what 's happening . all of his years of hard work have just gone up in smoke . eric : that 's not true . thorne 's done an incredible job for this company . ridge : i agree with dad on that . darla : ca n't you see that he does n't want to hear it ? eric : and i wish i did n't have to say it . but , thorne , you 're the one who forced me into making this choice . darla : so you 're punishing him for standing up for himself ? eric : i 'm trying to hold my family together . darla : oh , really ? by rejecting the son that stood by you when ridge ran off to become a marone . stephanie : darla , this has n't got anything to do with rejection or punishment . darla : no , stephanie , it 's a slap in the face . eric : thorne , it 's not the end of the world . thorne : nothing 's changed . all of these years and nothing 's changed . amber : what are you saying ?

rick : our marriage ended a long time ago . amber : yeah , because i let you down , but that 's not going to happen again . rick : because we 're not gon na happen . look , amber , i do n't mean to be cruel , but you 're just not getting it . amber : okay , then explain it to me , rick . explain it to me . um , just tell me how much this girl means to you -- this stranger . you know ? maybe -- maybe it 's not her . maybe it 's me . is that it ? is that it ? i 'm not good for you , huh ? look at me in the eye and you tell me . you say to me that i am not good enough for you . come on , say it ! rick : all right ! you 're not good enough . is that what you want to hear ? felicia : you think i want this ? someone pushing me around , interfering in my life ? you know , that 's why i left home . nick : well , you 're still here , are n't you ? must be a reason . the drugs can take the pain away for awhile , but it always comes back . felicia : yeah , it does . nick : i 'm a sea captain . i 've seen a lot of stuff . a lot of men , especially on the docks , they lost their family , their future , just like that . you all right ? you all right ? felicia : yeah , i just -- i need to get some air . nick : hey , doc , nick payne . how you been ? yeah . i 'm good . thanks . it 's been awhile . i know . listen , doc , i need a favor from you . a friend of mine 's gotten into something . pills . a lot of 'em . i was wondering , if i describe the pills to you , the markings , could you tell me what they are ? stephanie : well , what do you mean nothing 's changed ? of course , it has , honey . you 've changed . you 're a man now . and you do n't need to compete with your brother . eric : or to try to gain our respect . thorne : because i ca n't . stephanie : because you already have it . eric : thorne , you ca n't think of the years that you 've spent down here in this office is a waste . think of all the disasters you 've averted down here . this is the scene of your greatest successes . down here , in the trenches . thorne : 'cause i 'm the grunt . and ridge is the star . brooke : that 's not what he 's saying . thorne : it made sense when you were running the company , because you were in love with him . but when you took over , i thought i 'd finally get a break . eric : look , i know this does n't seem fair . thorne : you 're trying to keep the family together . eric : yes . yes , i am . and i know i can count on you to put the needs of the family before your own ego . thorne : yes , because that 's what i do . that 's what i do . i 'm the good son , the peacemaker , mr. forgive and mr . forget . eric : thorne , those are wonderful qualities for a man . thorne : yes , that 's what you 've told me my entire life . and i lived by it , all of it . i did n't complain . i was patient . and i worked hard , and i stayed loyal . because i honestly believed that it would pay off , and that i would get the respect and the position that i earned ! the day you made me president , god , i was so proud . i was so proud . and not just of myself , but of you , too , and this company and the way that you ran it . because you said that family matters the most . family ! he 's not even your son ! i am ! me ! you chose him over me ! your own flesh and blood ! and now you have the audacity to want to pat me on the back with a few compliments ? well , no way ! you hear me ? ! because i am through forgiving ! and i will never forget ! i gave you every single thing that i had , and you turned your backs on me . you and you . you let me down . | eric tells the forresters that he has chosen ridge to be the one in charge . thorne and darla are shocked . they all try to convince thorne to stay and go back to his old job , but he blows up and yells at them that he wo n't be mr. forgive and forget any more . he is very upset and says they let him down . felicia visits nick on his boat to yell at him about going to stephanie . he is unrepentant and tells her that she needs someone to look after her . she does n't think she does and tells him how strong she is . he tells her that she 's beautiful and says he knows that the pills help the pain . he calls a doctor friend to ask what kind of pills they are . amber comes to visit rick at work , but he 's making romantic plans with caitlin . she first gives rick a hard time and then begs him to take her back . thomas walks in and watches them . rick does n't want to hurt amber but she forces him to tell her that she 's not good enough for him and he 's with caitlin now . |

'cause you think you want to support her and you think i 'm obviously not ? taylor , it killed me to have to ask our daughter to leave the company . steffy , i love you with all my heart . steffy : dad , i love you , too , with all mine . ridge : look , sweetheart , as much as i wish this was different , what you did is going to affect hope and brooke 's life . that tribute is going to affect everybody . stephanie : oh , please , this is so absurd . ridge , your wife acts like an oversexed teenager , and somehow it becomes your daughter 's fault ? this is ridiculous . ridge : so giving steffy part of the company 's gon na make everything okay ? is it gon na ease hope 's pain ? is it gon na heal her relationship with oliver , much less her relationship with her own mother ? no . all it seems to be doing is rewarding behavior that should n't be rewarded . taylor : oh , my gosh . ridge : i 'm serious . taylor , i really think you should reconsider your decision here . [ scene_break ] stephen : honey , i - i agree with you . brooke definitely deserves ownership in forrester creations . katie : well , it 's true that she 's been abused by members of that family as much as you have , but selling your shares to her is n't gon na change that . stephen : especially with stephanie on the warpath now after that tribute . katie : i mean , she 's never going to have any peace . and -- and having your shares of the company , it 's not gon na do her any good . she would n't be able to overrule stephanie or taylor . i mean , she would always be outnumbered . stephen : as you would be . so why put yourself through that , the humiliation at the board meetings and stephanie 's constant vitriol . i do n't want you or brooke to go through that . donna : i know . i know . and i love you , dad , i do , both of you , for looking out for me , but i ca n't help thinking about brooke . just ... ( sighs ) just let me call her , okay ? ( sighs ) brooke : hi , this is brooke . please leave a message . ( beep ) donna : sis , hi . um , look , i know you 're going through a lot right now . i do . but , uh , i really need to talk to you right away . could you call me as soon as you get this , okay ? bill : look , donna , do n't get me wrong . i understand why you would want to go over this with brooke . but she is dealing with a tremendous amount right now because of steffy . katie : oh , do n't even get me started with steffy . i mean , what she 's done to hope and brooke -- she 's completely ruined their relationship . stephen : and that 's the way it 's always been , honey . the forresters go after the logans . the logan family fights back . but that 's what you would be doing if you sell your shares to bill . you 'd be fighting back . and i know it 's just a small fraction of the company , honey , but -- katie : it would put stephanie and everyone else on notice that my husband and the logans are united . bill : as never before . stephen : have you seen what bill is offering ? did you even look at the amount ? look at it . donna : ( sighs ) donna : oh , my god . ( gasps ) that -- that 's a lot of millions for just -- bill : you could do anything you want , donna . you can buy a beautiful home , pamper yourself , your family . donna : ( gasps ) stephen : you deserve it , sweetheart . and if your mother was here right now , she would say the same thing . i know it . donna : ( sighs ) katie : so would brooke . donna : ( sighs ) ( sighs ) ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] bill : i do n't see the transfer . you sure it went through ? all right , well , stay on top of it . stephen : problems ? bill : no , no . everything 's fine . justin 's on top of it . listen , stephen , um , none of this would have happened if you had n't convinced donna to sell to me . katie : that 's my husband 's way of saying thank you . and you , my love , have your foot back in forrester creations . bill : eric and company ai n't gon na like that one bit . katie : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : you want me to rethink my decision ? ridge : listen , after the `` ho logan `` debacle , i really thought pulling steffy as head of p.r . of the campaign would have been enough of a lesson . obviously , it was n't , or she would n't have tried to sabotage brooke 's tribute . so i felt like i had no choice . eric : oh , here it is , what we 've been waiting for . ridge : forrester creations ' articles of incorporation . eric : plus a list of the current shareholders . ridge : ( groans ) eric : wha -- oh , my god . bill spencer ? steffy : what ? stephanie : what about him ? eric : oh , god . steffy : he is now listed as a shareholder , not donna ? stephanie : what ? brooke : what ? ridge : that son of a ... we all sensed he was pushing donna to get dad 's shares so he could get his slimy hands on 'em once they were hers . eric : that 's exactly what he 's done . taylor : brooke , did you know about this ? brooke : no . i - i - i ca n't believe this . i ca n't believe my own sister sold her shares to bill before even talking to me . stephanie : right . and i bet your father and kate had a hand in it , too . brooke : ( sighs ) eric : he swore he 'd get a foot in this company again , and now he has . steffy : after everything i went through to pry forrester creations out of bill spencer 's hands . but he 's gon na need a lot more than 12.5 % to have any kind of control . and we wo n't give him any more shares . donna may have been vulnerable to bill spencer , but we wo n't be . [ scene_break ] bill : take a look at this . katie : hmm ? bill : do you see what i see ? katie : steffy 's a shareholder in forrester creations , too ? bill : taylor is n't listed as a shareholder , but steffy is . so taylor must have transferred her shares to her daughter . katie : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : ( sighs ) steffy : dad , how can i help ? i - i can talk to bill . ridge : i appreciate that , sweetheart , but there 's something you need to understand . bill getting donna 's shares does n't change my decision , any more than your mother giving you her shares does . you still ca n't come back here until you change your attitude about brooke . steffy : or be banned from the company for the rest of my life ? ( chuckles ) ridge : that 's the last thing i want . steffy : so you 're siding with brooke and that little brat of hers anyways , like -- like always , dad ? ridge : sweetheart , i wish it had n't come to this . steffy : ( scoffs ) ridge : but the way you just spoke about hope , that reinforces my decision that you can not come back until we can all get along . and you know what ? i hope to god that happens soon . i really do . steffy : yeah . ( door slams ) [ scene_break ] bill : well , let me know if you come up with anything else . all right . thanks . katie : so what 'd you find out ? bill : apparently taylor transferred her shares to steffy within the last few days . katie : hmm . bill : that 's all my source could tell me for now . but the bottom line is things are being shaken up over at forrester . and where there is unrest -- katie : there 's an opportunity to exploit things . bill : somebody 's been paying attention . katie : i always pay attention . and to think i used to believe that high - stakes business was just a colossal snooze . bill : and now ? katie : now i think it 's a total turn - on , especially when my handsome , sexy husband 's wheels are turning to see how he can turn his 12.5 % into something more lucrative . bill : mm . gets you hot , does it ? katie : you have no idea . bill : the hell i do n't . katie : ( chuckles ) ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : if i ever doubted the hold brooke has on you , i do n't anymore . brooke : taylor , please . taylor : you really let steffy down today . you let me down . once again , brooke comes first . i guess she always will ... to the detriment of your own children . ( sighs ) brooke : i 'm so sorry that you 're in this position and that i 'm the reason . ridge : i meant what i said . if steffy continues with this attitude of hers , forrester creations is gon na be off - limits to her . and as far as mother 's concerned , if she ever lays a finger on you again , this company will be off- limits for her , too . brooke : ( sighs ) you 've stood by me , and you 've protected me , and you 've shown your love for me beyond anything i can imagine . you are my reason for living . i love you . i love you so much . | ridge tells his mother that she needs to apologize to brooke for slapping her yesterday . stephanie says she is lucky that she did n't shoot her . at the sky lounge steffy thanks her mom again for giving her the forrester shares . donna is welcomed back home from the spa by stephen , bill and katie . katie appreciates her selling back her shares of fc to bill . donna is concerned about brooke 's position in all of this , but she signs the papers . a meeting at fc is interrupted when taylor walks in and declares that there is one more person who should be there steffy as taylor has transferred her shares to her . ridge is not pleased . he thinks it is rewarding behavior that should n't be rewarded and he 'd like taylor to reconsider her decision . |

( sighs ) brooke : what happened ? he made you promises ? katie : listen , i know that you will forever think of me as your naive little sister , but , no , bill did not make m any promises . in fact , quite the opposite . i told him , if he wanted to be with steffy , then he should go . he should just leave . brooke : you stood up to bill . katie : he is a complicated man , but i understand him -- his strengths and his weaknesses . he needs a woman he can count on , not someone who 's going to tell him lies just to make him feel better . he needs someone like him and determined as he is , his equal , and that is why he married me , because i challenge him . and i told him if he was gon na be happier with steffy , then he should go . he did n't because i have something that steffy will never have -- i have honesty and integrity and loyalty , and those are things that i can not live without . i think we 're gon na learn from this experience . i think it 's gon na make us closer than ever before . because we love each other . he 's ending it with steffy . and we 're gon na go on with our lives like none of it ever happened . [ scene_break ] steffy : so is that why you came here ? to end our relationship ? bill : i made promises to you i could n't keep . i was wrong to do that . steffy : bill , we love each other . it 's not wrong . it 's beautiful . bill : steffy , i am in no position to share a life with you . steffy : look , i understand you feel guilty and responsible , but you can -- bill : it 's not just guilt , and it is not responsibility . i am committed to katie . she 's my wife . i love her . steffy : but that does n't -- bill : and before katie , i did n't know how to love . steffy : but that does n't mean you ca n't love somebody even more . bill : steffy , you have to accept this . steffy : no . no , i ca n't , because i know what we mean to each other . bill : we have a history of being drawn to each other , and then steffy , then -- then we hurt each other . steffy : that is n't true ! bill : it is true ! it is true ! it is true ! you used my affection to win back forrester . i know i made promises to you that i ca n't keep . i am hurting you and that is the last thing i want to do . but i love my wife . i -- steffy : do n't you dare say something like that to me ! no , you said you love me . and now what ? you 're leaving me ? you promised you would never abandon me , and that 's what you 're doing . it 's for a logan . i ca n't believe it -- that you would do this to me . i do n't know you . you are not the bill spencer that i love . bill : the bill spencer ... steffy : ( sniffles ) ( sighs ) bill : that i would hope you would love is a man who could not walk out on his wife who just had a heart attack ! steffy : so what are you thinking ? i 'm gon na wait until she dies ? because i wo n't . bill : no . i do n't want you to do that . i would n't ask you to do that . i want you to go and live your life . i want you ... i want you to be happy . steffy : but will you , dollar bill ? huh ? when you wake in the middle of the night longing for my body , the touch of my mouth and my lips , huh ? bill : i love you , steffy . but it ca n't happen for us . steffy : now or never . bill : it ca n't . steffy : no . i believed in you . i believed in us . ( scoffs ) oh , my god , it was meaningless . you lied . you -- you said you were committed to me . you used me ? bill : i did n't use you . steffy : ( voice breaking ) how could i be so wrong ? i was just a fool . i was just a fool . bill : you 're not a fool . i 'm so sorry . steffy : ( normal voice ) no , bill , please . just go back to katie , if that 's what you want . i 'm through with you . steffy : what are you waiting for ? go .

( yelling indistinctly ) ( sobs hysterically ) ( breathing deeply ) ( door opens ) hope : your door was unlocked . you should be more careful . steffy : get out . hope : he left , did n't he ? he 's staying true to my aunt katie and their marriage . sorry , steffy , but you and bill are over . | steffy is stunned and does not believe that bill is breaking up with her and going back to his wife . he just could n't do that to himself or to her . he says he is a man of his commitment and he has responsibilities to katie . brooke is shocked that bill is not home with katie , but katie tells him that he has gone to break it off with steffy . he knows that if he ever does this again , he will lose katie . steffy reminds bill that katie 's heart attack was caused by stress so this could have happened at any time . he should not feel guilty . she hugs him and says she knows they will be together eventually as that is what he wants . fate brought them together when they each needed the other the most . she feels katie must have said something to brainwash him , but he says no he does love katie and he 's not going to leave her . steffy must accept that . |

[ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) liam , i 'm glad i saw what i did . liam : why ? i mean , to go through all that pain -- hope : no , liam , it is so clear to me how you feel about steffy . i know that you were married . i - i - i 'm not in denial . but to see it -- i really helps me understand , and now i - i really get how capable you are of believing the worst in me , turning to steffy , and then lying to my face about it . ( sighs ) if you had just been honest with me in italy , i would have been really upset . yeah , i - i would n't have liked it , but i think i would have eventually gotten that it was a misunderstanding . liam , if we are going to do this , there can be no lies . even if you think it 's going to hurt my feelings , i need the truth , or we are not going to work . liam : okay . it was wrong of me to do it . it was ... ( sighs ) more wrong of me to keep it from you . but i said vows to you that i meant , and we are married . so why wo n't you let me draw up the papers ? hope : oh , liam , stop asking me to validate that day . liam : well , oh -- hope : liam , i loved that ceremony , and i - i loved your vows . but it was n't ... real . liam : it was to me . you give me time , and i 'll prove to you that it was . hope : ( sighs ) honestly , liam , i do n't trust you right now . liam : okay , i get it . i get it honesty is everything . but ...

( sighs ) we need a new beginning . liam ... if you want us ... ( sighs ) let me plan another wedding . ( sighs ) i 'm not talking about some big grand gesture . i do n't want anything like that . i do n't want to fly halfway across the world . i just want a ceremony that feels ... truthful , something small where we can gather the family . maybe have it at eric and stephanie 's . i do n't know . i - i do n't . but i do know that i need this . i need a day that i can look back on with joy . liam : listen , i want our marriage to start off right , hope , and if that -- if it means forgetting about italy , then -- hope : here 's what i needed -- a promise of honesty , understanding why i need to erase that day , and to trust that you mean to commit your life to me and only me forever . and you gave me that . liam , i understand your need for me to come home , and i will . i will . but i mean , this gives us a chance to have a more meaningful ceremony with family -- you know , the kind that i always imagined myself having . it wo n't take long to plan .

just so you do n't need to be concerned , eric ended things between us . ridge : my question is why was there ever anything that needed to be ended in the first place . quinn : okay . i went to eric to see if he would rehire me . i showed him some pieces that i had designed . i was willing to steer clear of forrester and work under an alias . but , you know , the conversation just ... it never got that far , you know ? and ... things started to happen , not overnight . questions arose . and then the answer always turned out to be ... yes . look , i was not looking for love . i was just looking for an income . ridge : and you thought that lonely old man would just give you that income without you having to earn it . quinn : [ chuckles ] you 're gon na believe whatever you want . ridge : well , here 's what i believe . i believe that steffy 's gon na end her marriage with your son just to get rid of you . bill : please , brooke , take a look at my offer and give katie your honest opinion . brooke : [ sighs ] just grow up . both of you . really , how many years have you done this ? how many years have you given me lectures about love , loyalty , and commitment , and here you are , ready to throw it all away ? think of all the time and the love that you put into your relationship . deal with your anger . think about what 's best for your son . katie : that 's a lovely sentiment , but after everything that 's happened , it 's really not possible . bill : so the best thing we can do for our son , katie , is create a road map for the future that we can count on . katie : no , i suspect that 's the best thing you can do for you . bill : oh , all right . tell me what you think is missing , and i will take it back to justin . katie : [ laughs ] i would n't trust justin with my parking change . i will have my attorney draw something up . we will come up with a reasonable custody agreement , because we both agree that 's important . i will take everything you 're offering except the $ 50 million . bill : well , i think it 's very , uh , admirable that you want to earn your own way -- katie : oh , i know what i 've earned . and i 'm gon na get it . bill : spencer publications is off the table . not one share . i certainly remember your threat to go after my company if i left you for brooke . but that 's not what 's happening here , is it ? ask brooke . katie : the days of you making me feel like i 'm delusional are over . but i do n't want anything to do with spencer publications . although , do n't delude yourself -- a judge would award me a sizeable chunk . and the publishing business is a bit cloudy . but i 'm not worried . you 'll innovate , and everything will be fine . and my son will be fine . no . what i want is your 12.5 . bill : 12.5 ? katie : percent . of forrester creations . quinn : wyatt knows something about managing difficult women , and i will trust the health of his marriage to him . ridge : nothing steffy asked you was difficult . quinn : steffy asked me not to go near her , and i have n't . ridge : not just her . her family . we 're very protective of dad . quinn : okay , so ... i 'll repeat myself . eric and i are over . but believe it or not , i was really good for him . i was . what -- what was he -- what was he to you ? all of you ? a - a mascot ? a portrait of `` our founder `` who conveniently walks and talks ? you could n't push him out of his company fast enough . out of his home . and , what , you 're protective of your father . how ? by taking his job ? by coasting on the work that he did before you were even big enough to -- to tie your own shoes ? he needs somebody supporting him . something or someone to live for . at least i encouraged him . ridge : it was you , was n't it ? you put that idea in his head , that he 's gon na be c.e.o . again . quinn : [ scoffs ] you bet i did . ridge : now , why would you do that ? quinn : you think i 'm a gold digger , ridge ? i think you 're the gold digger . the power and position that are eric 's by right mean everything to you . the fact that he 's a lonely old man who has no appeal but money is the story you keep on telling yourself because he 's not dying fast enough for you to push him aside . that man deserves your respect . you are his right hand . that is a place of privilege . ridge : that 's my dad . he 's easily led by women like you . obviously . my mom was always there to protect him . she was his shield and his sword . now , here 's the good news . i inherited my mother 's strength and her meanness . i 'm gon na pick up where she left off . [ door closes ] quinn : [ sighs ] oh ! [ chair slams ] [ cell phone chimes ] | ridge tells katie they will take bill to court to get his fc shares . brooke says katie wants to avoid going to court but ridge says that is only because she thinks she can not win . but with them testifying they will . katie says again she does not want a big ugly trial . 12 1/2 % of fc is not worth it . but she notices brooke seems interested so she asks ridge to tell her more about this plan of his . she realizes that ridge would like the stock and he would have the majority and could oust eric as ceo . he says he has to protect this company and katie will be set for life . he leaves and says he has to go see somebody . katie tells brooke that she appreciates her talking to bill and letting will come home . now she needs to know if brooke will support her in court . bill walks in at this inopportune moment and katie says brooke knows all about this and that she is between a rock and a hard place . and she knows that he thinks he will have a better chance with brooke if katie signs the papers and is out of the picture . deacon knocks on quinn 's door . she says he is persistent if nothing else , a quality she would adore if it was someone she wanted to see . she does not shut the door on him and states she is not as rude as she used to be . he guesses her little trip to monte carlo did not go the way she wanted it to . she says the wrong person saw her leaving . he tells her that is her strong suit , never giving up and going a little too far . clearly that is what happened this time . |
liam : you just said caroline , like my cousin -- my cousin caroline ... is dying . sally : i thought you knew . liam : nope ! nope . in fact , i do n't even know how that 's possible because i just saw her -- i just saw her and she was fine . sally : [ sighs ] i ca n't believe i ... liam : how did you -- wait . wait . wait . how did you find this out ? did you hear it from thomas ? thomas told you this ? sally : yes . that is why he 's in new york . he wants to spend as much time as he can with caroline and doug -- liam : before she dies . sally : [ sighs ] liam : oh , my god . justin : you told thomas caroline was dying . bill : stubborn fool did n't give me a choice ! i asked him to step up and be there for his family . i was n't getting through , so ... justin : so you lied . bill : i motivated thomas to do the right thing . he stays in new york , caroline 's family is reunited ... and this beautiful baby becomes a reality . wyatt : [ clears throat ] steffy : you seem like you 're in a good mood . wyatt : [ chuckles ] what gave it away ? steffy : uh , you were humming down the hall . wyatt : [ chuckles ] steffy : your mom has n't come in , if that 's why you 're here . wyatt : uh , yeah , she probably wo n't for a few more days . uh , so , how 's your family taking the news ? steffy : now that my granddad and quinn are back together ? not as giddy as you are . wyatt : i 'm happy for her . i do n't -- i would n't call it giddy . steffy : well , uh , something put a smile on your face . is there a new woman in your life ? katie : i guess it 's not really for me to say . brooke : you do n't have an opinion ? katie : they -- you know , eric and quinn survived a crisis , they 're staying together . i -- i do n't understand it , but attraction is a funny thing . it does n't always make sense . brooke : well , i think it 's more than just attraction . i think that eric really does love quinn , and the family supports their reunion . katie : well , at least it 's better than seeing him with sheila . brooke : so , what about wyatt ? how does he feel ? i 'm sure that he 's pretty happy . katie : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm sure he is . brooke : you two have n't talked about it ? you were working so closely at the spencer summit . i started thinking of you two as a team . brooke : you and wyatt really did an amazing job on the fashion challenge . katie : thank you . it was -- it was fun . brooke : yeah . it was good to see you getting out there and enjoying yourselves . and wyatt was so pumped . it was cute . i have n't seen him like that since he was with steffy . has n't been an easy year for either one of you . katie : nope . pretty sad and lonely . brooke : yeah , no , that 's not what i meant . katie : i -- i know . it 's -- it 's okay . i know what you meant . brooke : i just want to see you happy . you deserve it . and so does wyatt . wyatt : okay , my ex - wife is currently asking me about my love life . steffy : okay , okay , no more questions . wyatt : i have one , though . what 's going on with thomas ? is he going back to new york to be with caroline ? steffy : he 's , uh , visiting his son , where he should be . wyatt : he 's definitely got to be there for douglas , but what about spectra ? i mean , they were just getting off the ground , not to mention sally . they seemed to be all hot and heavy , were n't they ? justin : thomas and sally are more than business partners . bill : not for long . justin : and you really think he 's getting back with caroline ? bill : thomas is a do - gooder . he has to rescue people . just like he rescued sally . he 's not gon na turn his back on the mother of his child . justin : not if he thinks she 's dying . bill : spectra does n't exist without thomas ! if he 's out of the picture , they 're out of business . justin : this all rests on your lie . bill : yeah . liam : so , my cousin is dying , and i 'm only now finding out about it . sally : she does n't want anyone else to know . thomas only told me so i 'd understand why he went back to new york . look , i never would have blurted it out . i just -- i assumed ... you 're family . liam : [ sighs ] oh , i ca n't believe this . sally : i 'm so sorry , liam . for you , and for your family . brooke : do you want me to forward this e - mail to wyatt ? katie : i can go over it with him . brooke : you have n't wrapped things up yet ? katie : no , not quite . brooke : i know i keep saying this , but you two really do make an incredible team . katie : does that surprise you ? brooke : you 're both very different . katie : yeah , i -- i suppose we are , in some ways , but we have at least one thing in common -- we tend to look for happiness in all the wrong places . brooke : i think with everything going on in the world today , wherever you can find happiness , it ca n't be wrong . katie : hmm . brooke : everybody needs to have some joy in their life , and when you find it , you 've got to just run with it . katie : you know , i 've been thinking of doing just that . bill : only thomas and sally think caroline is dying . i do n't want this getting out , and neither does caroline . justin : i ca n't believe she 's going along with this . bill : well , it took a lot of convincing , and she 's not gon na put up with it for long . but before you know it , there 's gon na be a miraculous recovery , and she and douglas and thomas can live happily ever after . justin : what about sally ? bill : what about her ? she stole from the forresters . she lured thomas away from his family . not to mention the fact that she 's a blight on the fashion industry . i 'm not gon na let somebody like that stand in the way of my legacy . or one of my greatest professional achievements . [ door opens ] sally : steffy . steffy : hope this is n't a bad time . sally : no . steffy : it 's , uh , kind of quiet around here . sally : well , we 're still coming down from monaco . steffy : should n't you be gearing up ? the summit gave you a lot of momentum . sally : yeah , and we want to use that , but , you know , we can take a little time to enjoy our success . steffy : mm . you surprised a lot of people in monaco . you put on a decent show . sally : thank you , princess . steffy : i just think it could be your last . liam : hey . wyatt : hey . liam : uh , glad i texted you . i -- i thought you 'd be at spencer . wyatt : no , yeah , i 'm -- i 'm here . what 's up ? liam : uh ... nothing . just -- i 'm -- i do n't know -- touching base . i feel like -- i feel like with everything that 's going on lately , i 'm really out of touch . wyatt : do n't let dad hear you say that . he 'll make us do another one of those guys ' nights . liam : [ laughing ] yeah . hey , speaking of father - son bonding , did you -- you happen to talk to thomas at all about going to new york ? wyatt : while we were in monaco ? liam : yeah , like -- like that he wants to stay there with douglas and caroline ? did you -- wyatt : uh , apparently , but no , we did n't -- we did n't talk about it . why ? liam : i do n't know , man . i do n't know . i 'm just -- i was interviewing sally earlier , and stuff came up , and i ... i do n't know . wyatt : like what ? liam : like that it 's not a visit . that he -- he wants to stay there indefinitely . wyatt : really ? liam : yeah , okay , so you have n't heard about this ? you do n't know anything about what i 'm saying ? wyatt : nope . no , i -- liam : well , have you talked to caroline ? wyatt : why ? should i have ? wyatt : look , if -- if thomas and caroline want to get back together , i do n't know , i think that 's great . liam : yeah . yeah , that 's good news . wyatt : yeah . it 's a little unexpected ... liam : right . wyatt : and probably not good for spectra . liam : yeah , i was , uh , thinking about that . thomas and sally were really tight , and caroline comes to town , and suddenly thomas is on leave in new york . how does that happen ? wyatt : i do n't know . i 'm not the one to ask , dude . you know ? i barely saw caroline this trip . every time she came by the office , i was in a meeting . dad probably saw her more than i did . liam : dad did ? wyatt : you know he 's gon na be happy to hear about this . katie : oh ! hi . hi , liam . liam : hey . katie : sorry , uh , pam said you were in here . wyatt : oh , uh , you need me ? katie : yeah . liam : i 'm gon na take off . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go . wyatt : wait , you 're taking off ? you just got here . liam : no , i just -- i have , uh ... i got to see someone . sally : so you did n't come here to congratulate me , then . steffy : i did , but i just wanted to give you a heads up . thomas could be in new york for a very long time , and i do n't want you deluding yourself . thomas got caught up in the romance of saving you and saving the company . but he did n't just go to new york for douglas . he went for caroline , too . sally : yeah . i know . steffy : they 're very connected . sally : well , she 's the mother of his child . thomas cares about her . steffy : so then you realize what that means . sally : maybe more than you do . steffy : i doubt that . sally : look , i know you want thomas back with caroline . you encouraged her to come here with douglas . steffy : and that does n't upset you ? sally : no , because i know right now that spending time with douglas and caroline is exactly where thomas needs to be . wyatt : okay , that is off . everything at spencer is under control , and we wo n't be interrupted . but you know what ? just to be safe , i should maybe lock the door . katie : no , no , no . i do n't think that 's necessary . wyatt : i 'm very sorry to hear that . katie : so , what was up with liam ? he rushed out of here . wyatt : no idea . he seemed distracted , like , not himself . katie : yeah . i noticed that . wyatt : yeah . must be going around . i , uh ... i ran into steffy earlier . katie : oh . wyatt : and , uh , she said that she thought i was happy . katie : and that 's unusual for you ? wyatt : well , i did n't think so , but she apparently noticed a difference , and then recognized the look on my face and asked if there was a new woman in my life . katie : huh . interesting . wyatt : mm - hmm . katie : yeah , uh , brooke and i kind of had the same conversation . wyatt : oh . what 'd you tell her ? katie : what did you tell steffy ? wyatt : [ laughs ] i did n't tell her that i ca n't stop thinking about the woman who just works right across the hall . katie : okay , good . that 's great . that 's good you did n't say that . wyatt : yeah , it was probably a good idea . what about you ? katie : i did n't say anything . not a word . wyatt : not a hint ? katie : no . mnh - mnh . wyatt : huh . katie : [ giggles ] wyatt : what about that smile you got going on ? you did n't think that was gon na give anything away ? katie : no , actually , i -- i smile quite a lot . wyatt : mm . katie : i think that she , um , she 's happy that i 'm happy , even though she does n't know the reason . wyatt : right . and let 's not tell her . i do n't mind keeping this our little secret . katie : right . wyatt : yeah . katie : our little secret . bill : just a matter of time , sky , and you 'll be the most beautiful tower on the l.a. skyline . liam : i thought you 'd given up on that thing . bill : never . she 's getting built right where i want her . liam : yeah ? is that so ? bill : all right , what is it , liam ? you come barging in here without knocking . something wrong ? liam : i do n't know , dad . you tell me . katie : what are you doing ? wyatt : i am kissing you . katie : yeah . why ? wyatt : because you like it when i do . katie : mm . wyatt : come on ! i am attracted to you , and you 're attracted to me , and i think you 're amazing . katie : yeah , well , this city is full of amazing women . wyatt : right . and they 're out there , and you 're in here . and for some reason , i am still trying to convince you to just shut this brain off , let go , and have some fun . and be in this moment right here , right now , with me . and just so you know ... i 'm going to kiss you again . steffy : so you do n't have a problem with my brother being in new york ? sally : thomas is doing what 's right for his family . steffy : douglas and caroline need him . i 'm just really surprised you 're okay with it . sally : i wish this trip was n't necessary and the situation was different for our upcoming showing and for a lot of reasons . but i understand why thomas needs to be there for caroline and their son . bill : got something to say , say it , liam . liam : okay . all right . um ... it 's about caroline . you know thomas is in new york with her , right ? bill : it 's about time he stepped up for his family . liam : yeah . about time . bill : damn right . he 's got a son to raise . he ca n't be wasting time with sally spectra , blowing his money on bad investments . liam : yeah , and with thomas gone , it 's only a matter of time before spectra 's gone , too . right ? bill : spectra should have been gone a long time ago . and thomas should be in new york where he belongs . liam : yeah , i get that . douglas is at an age where he needs his father . i commend thomas being there for him . bill : okay , then , what 's the problem ? you come in here like you have an ax to grind , but we agree . liam : well , dad , uh , i heard something pretty shocking today . something that actually concerns me . in fact , it concerns our entire family , and i -- i almost did n't believe it , considering where i heard it from . so i 'm -- i 'm at spectra , right ? and i 'm interviewing sally , of all people , about the summit , and she tells me something about caroline , something that she assumes i know because i am her family . you want to know what -- sally said that caroline is dying . oh , so you knew . bill : she should n't have said anything . liam : why did n't you say anything ? to me ! to wyatt ! you know i saw wyatt today , right ? bill : you did n't tell him . liam : no . no , i didn't . because sally said it 's a secret . bill : and it 's going to stay that way . because caroline wants it to be confidential . she came to me for my help . liam : because she 's sick ? bill : yes . liam : okay . with what ? bill : with a rare auto - immune disease . she 's being cared for by the best doctors in new york . liam : your doctors ? bill : i 'm giving caroline all the support i can . liam : oh , well , then , i suppose you gave thomas a good talking to , as well , about his responsibilities . bill : yes , i did . i told him he has to be there for his family . liam : and yet , that leaves spectra without their lead designer . do you know -- thomas actually called sally when i was in their office today , and he said that he would be gone for months and that she would have to run the company herself . bill : yes , liam . because that 's where his focus needs to be , on his family . liam : and yet , here you are , talking to your skyscraper . hmm ... it 's weird , you know ? all this could really work out to your advantage . thomas is in new york , caroline gets her family back , spectra 's vulnerable , they could fail . all you have to do is swoop in and take advantage ... bill : you 're forgetting one thing , liam . liam : yes ! that 's right ! i am forgetting one thing . all this cool stuff is happening because your niece is dying . mm . is she , dad ? is caroline dying ? | liam says he just saw caroline and she is just fine so he can not believe she is dying . sally says she thought since he was family that he knew . bill tells justin that he did n't have a choice . thomas would not step up and stay with his son so he stepped up the game to re - unite him and caroline . he will stay in new york and sally will be forced to close spectra without him . thomas is a do - gooder and he will not turn his back now on his son . steffy mentions quinn to wyatt and asks if that is what is putting a smile on his face or does he have a new woman . brooke questions katie about quinn or if she has discussed it with wyatt as they seem to be a new team . she says she wants her to be happy as they both deserve it . katie says yes they both seemed to have been looking for love in all the wrong places in the past . justin laments to bill that he can not believe that caroline is going along with this lie . bill says sally stole thomas away from caroline not to mention getting thomas away from forrester and he will not let her get away with his legacy . |
liam : are you sure you 're okay with this ? i mean , i really want you to be honest with me . steffy : i gave hope our engagement ring , did n't i ? liam : yeah , i know . i just ... i do n't know , i want to make sure that you 're okay and that you 're ready to move on with your life . without me . hope : i mean , it must be difficult for steffy . ridge : difficult ? she 's saying goodbye to the love of her life , the father of her child . i hope liam can talk her out of it . brooke : what 's going on ? hope : uh , ridge seems to think that it 's not over between steffy and liam . brooke : well , steffy has made her intentions very clear . so has liam . hope and liam are engaged to be married , and we need to accept that . xander : she what ? thorne : emma asked that zoe be fired . xander : i mean , when did this happen ? maya : when you were with zoe consoling her about the cat . thorne : yeah , emma 's not too excited about her being here . maya : well , they 're both part of the forrester team now , so they better figure out a way to work it out . zoe : first you ask me to turn down the job offer . modeling for forrester creations -- literally the greatest gig of my life . and then when i did n't do what you wanted , you went out of your way to send me packing . i mean , are you denying that you asked thorne and hope to fire me ? emma : no , that 's exactly what i did . xander : that 's pretty bold . i mean , emma 's just an intern like me , but she 's asking you guys to fire people now ? thorne : no , just your ex . maya : look , it 's clear that zoe and you have a lot of history , but you 've also been spending time with emma . thorne : yeah , i think there 's a little jealousy there . maya : i 'm going to give you some advice , as your cousin . i think it 's going to be in your best interest to sit down with both of them and figure out a way to get along . emma : can you blame me after everything that you 've done ? i do n't think you 've earned your place here at forrester creations . zoe : [ scoffs ] no , emma , that 's not what this is about . this is about your feelings for xander . brooke : steffy gave her ring to hope for a reason . ridge : she did n't think it through . brooke : she said she wanted to focus on motherhood and her career . and i think she finally realized that she betrayed liam 's trust . irreparably . ridge : sleeping with bill was a mistake , and then turning to him when she found this one and liam backstage , that was a mistake , too . she has n't been herself lately . she 's still not herself . she 's giving up on liam when she still cares about him . liam : i 'm just [ chuckles ] i 'm trying to make sure you 're not just being heroic , you know , that this is really what you want , that you really are okay with me ... moving on with hope . steffy : liam , it 's the best decision for everyone . for me , for kelly ... for your child with hope . i do n't want there to be any more struggling -- struggling to deny feelings , struggling to forgive . i want to find peace . and i want to cherish the moments that we had , to look back at our relationship and realize it was meant to be for as long as it lasted . we have a beautiful child to show for it . but it 's time for me to focus on my future . it 's time for me to move on , liam . zoe : i do n't care what you say , emma . this is all about xander . emma : oh , really ? do you want me to list every crazy thing you 've done since you 've been in l.a. ? zoe : i apologized . i mean , i thought we all moved on . you 're telling me you have n't ? thorne , hope , maya -- everyone is fine with me working here except for you , and i do n't think it 's because you 're worried about the company . i think you 're threatened by me . emma : [ scoffs ] give me a break , zoe . i 'm not jealous of you ! zoe : i never said you were jealous , but i know that you and xander are friends , and him and i have a history together . i mean , we were together for a long time . i can understand if that bothers you . xander . we were just talking about you . turns out , emma tried to get me fired . xander : yeah . i heard . is that true ? emma : yes . i did . i 'm just looking out for forrester and for you . ridge : when is it gon na end , really ? brooke : [ scoffs ] ridge : both our daughters in love with the same guy . brooke : it 's already over , ridge . steffy very wisely and very graciously threw in the towel . and coming from somebody who fought for you most of her life , it 's really exhausting , i have to tell you . ridge : i 'm sure it is , but you ended up with me , so it was worth it , right ? brooke : yeah . i finally ended up with you . and hope finally ended up with liam . ridge : yeah , maybe . so , what , steffy just gives up ? brooke : somebody had to move on . ridge : should have been hope . brooke : bite your tongue . i 'm very happy for my daughter . and i 'm excited for yours , too . there 's wonderful things in store for steffy and your granddaughter . ridge : i think they 're gon na be just fine , but , uh , i 'm not sure she 's ready to walk away from him . brooke : time will tell . ridge : i guess so . brooke : look , as much as i adored your mom at the end , i -- i do n't want to be like her , ridge . i don't . so maybe we should just back off a little bit and let the kids work this out on their own and stop interfering . ridge : well , that 's gon na be good for hope , right ? because steffy 's , as you said , thrown in the towel . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge , hope and liam are engaged . they 're going to be married . they 're having a child . it 's going to be a blended family , and everybody 's gon na get along just fine . ridge : and that is a sweet story . it 's a fairy tale . you know as well as i do this is gon na end in heartbreak . brooke : i hope you 're wrong . but i do appreciate your concern . and i want you to know that i do n't only want my daughter to be happy . i want your daughter to be happy , too . steffy : please believe me . i 'm lucky . i have so many good things in my life . kelly being my greatest gift of all . you gave me that . we gave her to each other . and she 'll always connect us . and that will be enough . so now it 's time to focus on me and my job . kelly 's first smile . liam : got a lot to look forward to . steffy : i 'm so grateful . i mean , i know there are gon na be challenges ahead . nothing i ca n't handle . but , yeah , it 's -- it 's gon na be hard . but , hey , you have a baby with hope . so just be with her . love her . she 's more suited for you anyway . although , i thought we were pretty good together , too . [ chuckles ] okay , you better go before i change my mind . liam : [ laughs ] okay . hope : oh , uh , i 'll come back . steffy : no , stay . i have something i want to tell you . it affects all of our futures . zoe : emma feels threatened by me being here , and she wo n't admit it . emma : do i need to remind you that xander left london and came all the way to l.a. to get away from you ? xander : look , neither of you are wrong . zoe : she almost cost me my job . xander : nobody 's getting fired . i think emma was just looking out for me . zoe : xander , are you really taking her side ? xander : no , i 'm not taking anyone 's side . i 'm hoping there wo n't be any sides , you know , not if we talk through it . look , you have to admit , you did some pretty sketchy stuff when you first got to l.a. and i do n't blame you for being worried , emma , but , well , zoe 's been given the opportunity of lifetime . she 's a hard worker and got what it takes . she deserves this chance . just like you deserve your shot , too , okay ? you 're both super talented , and you 're working on the same project , you know , building the same brand . you each have something unique to contribute , which is gon na help the line and make the line better , and by doing so , you 're making each other better . look , not many people get to do what we 're doing , so let 's try and enjoy this . you know ? make a positive experience . i 'm not expecting you to be best friends , but ... i 'm hoping you can find some common ground . brooke : i respect steffy for a lot of reasons , and securing bill 's shares in forrester -- that was extremely impressive . ridge : yep , after all these years , the company 's family - owned again . brooke : yeah . she 's proven herself to be a savvy businesswoman and a leader . and then reinventing the bedroom line , coming up with sleepwear for women and for men ... [ gasps ] oh ! that reminds me . i have a little gift for you . ridge : for me ? brooke : open it . ridge : very funny . brooke : no , i 'm seriously , actually . i 'm worn a lot of teddies for you through the years , so you could do a little something for me . put 'em on . ridge : you want me to wear these ? brooke : yes , i do . it would be nice to see you in a little silky boxer now and then . go on . the bathroom 's right there . ridge : [ laughs ] brooke : come on . do it . ridge : [ sighs ] hope : what did you want to tell me ? steffy : i 'm just reminding liam what my plans are . i 'm concentrating on our daughter , building the company , building a life for myself , the way i want it to be . i see you 're still wearing the ring . good . i 'm glad . i know there will be times when this is difficult , but we need to keep focusing on kelly and your precious little baby . they are what 's most important . they share the same father . i really want them to be close . there will be rough patches . but the magic of our children will take over . you two will be married , and you 'll have a family . and as i was already telling liam , he 's gon na have a big part in kelly 's life . we 're gon na be the best co - parents . liam : yeah . steffy : but i 'm making a new life for myself now . hope : steffy , you know , i want you to be okay . steffy : i will be . we can do this . if anyone can do it , it 's the three of us . well , no , the five of us . our kids included . hope : you really think we can make this happen ? steffy : what choice do we have ? we ca n't let our issues take over . the children are what 's most important . liam : well , steffy , you never cease to amaze . i 'm happy that you 're going after what you want . i 'm happy that you 're -- that you 're doing what you think is right . i mean , you 've always been an adventurer , a free spirit . you 've always done things your way , i know that . and kelly is lucky to have you . forrester 's lucky to have you . i just -- i hope that this time of , you know , growth and self - reflection is everything you want it to be , and i hope you find what you 're looking for 'cause you deserve it . hope : and i know the children , their well - being is what matters , but , steffy ... you know , what about you ? what about your happiness ? steffy : i 'm gon na be fine . brooke : ridge ! i 'm waiting . i want to see your new gift ! ridge : yeah , no , i 'm not coming out there . brooke : [ scoffs ] come on . do n't be shy . i 've seen you in much less . ridge : well , this looks ridiculous . brooke : well , i 'll be the judge of that . get your little butt out here . it 's lonely in this bed all by myself . oh ... ridge : huh ? brooke : yeah . it 's really sexy . really . ridge : yeah , it is . [ exhales sharply ] okay . brooke : what ? wait , that 's it ? that 's all you got ? ridge : oh , no , i got plenty more . i just do n't know if you can handle it . brooke : oh , yeah ? ridge : mm - hmm . brooke : [ giggles ] i can handle anything ... ridge : uh - oh . okay . brooke : ... that you got . [ both chuckle ] brooke : [ giggles ] [ laughs ] hope : [ sighs ] it took a lot of guts for steffy to finally let you go , to move on in her life without you . i mean , i know she still has feelings for you . it ca n't be easy . liam : yeah , well , we 've been through a lot . and we 'll always love and respect each other . so ... i 'm kind of -- i 'm kind of still trying to process it all , but ... but , you know , she really does want this -- to go her own way and let you and me be together . hope : [ sighs ] i mean , she 's been so magnanimous , i mean ... putting this ring on my finger and urging up to be together for our child ... but , um , as you can imagine , i 'd prefer not to wear steffy 's engagement ring , so ... liam : she 's taking it off . hope : yeah , i just -- it just does n't feel right . so i 'm gon na give it back to you , and can you explain to her ? liam : yeah , okay . yeah . um ... but what about us ? hope : hmm , funny you should ask . i , um ... i went home and got this . liam : [ chuckles ] hope : you remember this ? when i gave it back to you and you insisted that i hold onto it because you knew how much i always loved this ring . liam : yeah . hope : you know , i wanted to wear it forever . but you need to put this on my finger because you want to , liam . you know , i -- i want a life with you , i want to raise our children together , but if you do n't , it 's your choice , liam . not mine , not steffy 's . it 's yours , so ... if that 's really what you want , if that 's what you 're ready for , you know , to fully commit to me and make a life with me ... show me . liam : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . can i -- can i borrow this for a second ? hope : yes . okay . i guess . liam : so if i remember how this goes ... hope : [ giggles ] 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 . could you do that ? will you marry me ? hope : yes . yes , i think i can do that . liam : whew ! okay ! give me that hand . hope : [ gasps ] | xander ca n't believe that emma asked thorne to fire zoe . zoe accuses emma and emma admits that is exactly what she did . and after what she has done then she should not be surprised . zoe says no this is not about business , this is personal because of her feelings for xander . xander comes in and asks emma if all of this is true . she says yes , she was only looking out for forester and for him . he appreciates that but says that was not necessary . zoe did some pretty crazy things in the past but she is super talented and deserves this job just as emma got hers . he does not want to take sides , they should all be able to work together . they all have a special talent and it will help the line which will be good for forrester . not many people get to do what they do so just enjoy this experience . emma does n't seem to be too convinced when he says he does not expect them to be best friends but he does think they can find some common ground . ridge tries to persuade hope that liam is not through with steffy yet . steffy tells liam one more time that it is time for her to move on . it will be best for her and for kelly .. and besides liam is expecting a baby with hope . it is time now for her to focus on her job and her child . she knows there will be challenges ahead but she can handle it . so just go with hope and love her . he 'd better go before she changes her mind . brooke catches ridge talking to hope about steffy not through with liam yet no matter what she says . brooke tells him she wants her daughter to be happy but she also wants his daughter to be happy too . but steffy made her decision and liam and hope will be married and have their child . he should just back up some . brooke springs a pair of sexy boxers for ridge . she says she has modeled teddies for him so many times over the years so now is his turn , go change . when he returns he acts shy . he makes it a quick glance and she teases is that all he has . he says he is not sure she can handle it . she pounces on him to show him she can . |

macy : yes , damn it ! when people take vows before god , yes ! brooke : you did n't do it in good faith ! macy : you 're not the judge of that ! brooke : oh , yes , i am , macy . where your marriage is concerned , i 'm the judge , the jury and the executioner . amber : it did n't work , whatever your mom said . little eric : there 's daddy ! deacon : hey , you , come here . oh , there 's my boy ! gim me a kiss . oh , you look so handsome . hey , does this thing smell good ? rick : well , i -- i do n't see mom anywhere . maybe she 's still talking to macy . macy : you may want to believe that deacon is still in love with you -- brooke : do n't you ? macy : no . given the fact that he ca n't even mention your name without -- brooke : bitterness ? resentment ? there 's a lot of unresolved issues there . macy : i know what you 're trying to do . brooke : i 'm trying to stop you from making a terrible mistake . you do n't know what you 're doing , macy . you 're marrying for all the wrong reasons . so is deacon ! macy : you do n't know the first thing about -- brooke : i do ! i know exactly what deacon 's feeling . he 's hurt . he 's angry . but it would n't take too long to turn that around . macy : oh , you 're sick ! you 're sick . you 're just demented ! brooke : you think i 'm enjoying this ? i 'm not . but i love my daughter , and i love little eric , and i 'm not gon na let you attack them ! macy : i 'm not attacking them , i 'm fighting for him . he deserves to know his father . brooke : talk about rationalization . you know exactly what 's happening in the custody battle . look , i do n't hate you , macy . and i 'm not even interested in hurting you , unless , of course , you give me no choice . so call off the wedding . sally : what are you doing here ?

because that is what she wants . that 's what she wants -- she wants to take my place . and that 's why she 's marrying you -- deacon : all right , that 's enough . amber : come on , why do n't you just wait a couple of months ? you barely even know her -- deacon : i 'm not -- i 'm not gon na do this with you ! i 'm not doing this right now . it is my wedding day . i am not gon na do this . just go . go . ridge : i do n't give a damn . he 's got a contract , we 're holding him to it . now , what were you saying ?

nick : no . no , no . she 'll see it when she 's ready to see it , forrester . ridge : and `` it `` would be what ? nick : well , that turning to you in a crisis generally leads to more crisis . ridge : mmm , you do n't know deacon sharpe . nick : no , i do n't . ridge : the way he 's ripped through this family . nick : look , forrester , i 'll be the first one to admit i 'm an outsider . but sometimes that 's what it takes to get a fresh perspective on things . ridge : oh , so you think brooke should turn to you in a crisis , then ? nick : oh , god , no . she does just fine on her own . i would n't want to take her on , would you ? amber : did you talk to macy ? brooke : yes . amber : she would n't listen to you ? brooke : oh , she heard me . amber : so , she 's going to call off the wedding , huh ?

what did she say to you , macy ? tell me . what did she say ? tell me or i 'll go out there and drag it out of her myself -- macy : she said he still loves her . sally : oh , god ! she said deacon still loves her ? macy : and that if she wanted him back , she could have him . sally : oh , please , i do n't want to hear this . i do n't want to hear another word . this is insane . how dare that woman do this ? how dare she come in here and upset you like that just as you 're about to get married ? macy , darling , brooke has already taken so much away from you . do n't let her poison this . this is your day . this is your chance for happiness . macy : is it ? or am i just setting myself up again ? sally : oh , darling -- do n't do this , macy . do n't do this to yourself . you know brooke . you know what she 's capable of . that woman is capable of saying anything or doing anything to spoil your happiness . and to keep those children away from you . macy : but he did cheat on his first wife . sally : oh , darling , that was a long time ago . and that was n't a real marriage anyway . now , what are you worried about ? about deacon repeating history and cheating on you with his mother - in - law ? darling , it 's not going to happen . the man is simply not my type . okay ? all right ? macy : you are -- you 're a nut . sally : i know , darling . and so are you . you are an absolute nut , if you let brooke manipulate you , and spoil this wonderful day for you . macy : he loves me . sally : of course he does . of course he does . now , i think it 's time we got you dressed , hmm ? macy : okay . sally : let 's go . oh , macy , this gown is so gorgeous . but -- oh , wait a minute . look at all these buttons . i do n't know how we 're gon na get this on you . we 're gon na be here all night ! oh , no , what has clarke done . ridge : i do n't see brooke as a damsel in distress , if that 's what you 're accusing me of . nick : no accusations here , forrester . i 'm just trying to point out a pattern . ridge : oh , so , i 'm the one responsible for all the drama , is that it ? nick : i 'm sure your intentions are good . ridge : i 'm not so sure about yours , though . you 'd love it , would n't you , if i 'd turn my back on her next time she needs help ? that 'd work out just peachy- keen for you , would n't it ? nick : it 's not how it 'd work for me . it 's how it 'd work for brooke . let 's face it , deacon sharpe has a right to be this child 's father . if you had n't butted in , they probably could 've worked something out by now , and brooke would n't be sitting at that wedding , watching her son and her daughter - in - law lose their child . something to think about .

[ scene_break ] liam : dad , what this is gon na do to steffy -- you know , she -- she had her heart set on you guys -- bill : yeah , i know what she had her heart set on , liam . i 've already seen her . she 's deeply hurt , and i regret it . liam : must have been rough . bill : oh , you could say it was rough . in fact , uh , that would be an understatement . i never wanted to hurt steffy . it 's the last thing i wanted to do but katie -- katie is my wife , and i have treated her really unfairly . why are you so worried about steffy ? liam : uh , i do n't know . a - are n't you ? bill : yeah , i am , but i ca n't be with two women , and i made a commitment to katie . you know , i , uh , i got ta hand it to you . you warned me not to get too close to steffy , that it would lead to trouble , and , uh , you were right . liam : ( sighs ) bill : but i have reaffirmed my commitment to katie , and i love her , and i 'm sticking to that , end of story . bill : i want you to do me a favor . the last thing steffy wants is to see me . take this to her . [ scene_break ] ridge : i understand why you want to lash out . steffy : i know . i know you say revenge is n't the answer , and that 's not how you and mom raised me . and maybe you 're right . you warned me to stay away from bill , and i did n't listen . and please , please do n't say `` i told you so , `` because i just -- i ca n't hear that right now , because i just feel so stupid . i feel like this little girl who ... ( sighs ) god , i do n't know . ( sighs ) ridge : you 'll always be my little girl . steffy : dad , i love you so much . ridge : i love you , too . and i will do anything to protect you . steffy : ( sniffles ) [ scene_break ] brooke : sweetheart , i told you , i thought it would be best if you stayed away from steffy . hope : ( sighs ) i know . i know . i know . but i - i have to work with her . i mean , we all do . i just thought it could n't hurt to try and convince her to not use everything that 's happened , you know , as a reason to continue the forrester- logan war . brooke : steffy did n't think so ? hope : no , if you 're a logan , you 're he enemy . she 's never gon na give up this fight against our family , especially when she 's hurting like this . [ scene_break ] bill : ( sighs ) ( door opens ) bill : forrester . what took you so long ? i 'm good , right ? ridge : i was just with my daughter . do you even care how much pain she 's in right now ? bill : of course , i care . i 'm not gon na waste my breath explaining that to you , 'cause you do n't care what i have to say . ridge : you used her , spencer . you knew she had feelings for you . bill : well , if it means anything to you , it was n't a one - way street . i fell in love with your daughter . ridge : you are married . you should have stayed away from her . bill : you 'll get no argument from me . ridge : you lured her in , made her think there might possibly be a future for the two of you . bill : ( sighs ) i did n't lure her in . and i meant every word i said at the time . ridge : well , then , you 're even more arrogant than i thought . bill : okay . i 'm arrogant . feel free to throw out a few more derogatory adjectives if it makes you feel better . look , i made a horrendous mistake . i hurt katie , i hurt steffy , and they 're two amazing women , and i never meant to do that . but you know what ? you , of all people , should understand , should n't you ? you know what it 's like to be in love with two women at the same time . ridge : the situations are not the same . bill : of course not . ridge : steffy is a very impressionable young woman . bill : ( sighs ) ridge : you , of all people , should know that when a married man becomes involved with another woman , especially a much younger woman , lives are gon na be ripped apart . bill : ( sighs ) ridge : katie almost died , and steffy -- bill : all right , enough ! i do n't need any life lectures from you . i 've acknowledged my mistake and the pain that it caused , but i have news for you . steffy 's being torn apart -- you 're the cause of that . ( groans ) it must run in the family . ( sighs ) nothing like the taste of your own blood to get the adrenaline flowing . you 're protecting your daughter , so i 'm gon na give you a pass . but it expires in about the next ten seconds , which is just enough time for you to get the hell out of my face . ridge : you stay away from steffy . you 've done enough damage . i will never let you hurt her again . | liam realizes bill has more on his mind that choosing the cover of a magazine . he asks if he wants to talk about it . then he proceeds to give bill advise even if he does n't want to hear it . bill shuts him up by saying steffy is not wrong ; he is going back to katie . hope tells steffy that she is not gloating . she just hopes this is a wake - up call for her . she does n't know if this is for love or vengeance , but for everyone 's sake , she needs to stay away from bill . steffy is aghast that hope is advising her to stay away from bill considering her own mother has meddled for years in her own parent 's marriage . this time she is not backing down from the logan 's . hope can go tell this to liam and he can pass it on to his dad . she orders hope out . brooke tells ridge that she is worried about her sister because katie is hurt about bill 's involvement with his daughter . ridge wants to change the subject since that is now in the past . bill took advantage of his daughter and is still trying to do it by making promises to both women . he 's afraid of what steffy might do when bill ultimately lets her down . he stops by to see steffy who is less than pleased to see him standing there . she confesses that ridge was right ; bill went back to katie so everyone thinks she got what she richly deserves for going after a married man . he gives her a big hug . |

liam : katie wants your 12.5 % of forrester ? bill : and she was standing right beside brooke when she said it . liam : what does that mean ? bill : i do n't know what it means . i tried to get brooke to weigh in on the settlement . she would n't do it . then katie turned it down . and it was a hell of an offer -- lot of perks and 50 million bucks . she wants the stock instead . liam : why ? bill : that 's what i 'm trying to figure out . but i 'm very confident the dressmaker 's behind it . liam : well , ridge has always wanted your shares . listen , i 'm sure you 'll figure it out . i - i got to tell you what happened in monte carlo . eric has a new woman in his life . eric : monte carlo was a big success . announcing my return as c.e.o . at the summit generated a lot of positive press . very good idea , steffy . thanks for that . i was very inspired , talking about forrester there and about the next few years ahead , or however long my tenure lasts . we have a great team in place here -- rick , international . steffy 's president . we 'll miss caroline , back east with her two moms , but ridge and thomas have design well in hand . i 'm very confident in our future . the only area where we have diminishing returns is , uh , the jewelry line . quinn : it 's good to see you , sweetheart . i guess the trip back from monte carlo went well . wyatt : actually , mom , it was pretty awkward . no , thanks . my wife is n't exactly thrilled with me right now because of you . quinn : [ sighs ] i know , honey , and i am so sorry . wyatt : just -- just tell me that it 's over between you and eric . quinn : we never wanted to cause any problems for you and steffy . wyatt : i know . i talked to eric before i left monte carlo . he said that he ended things with you . now i need to hear it from you right about now . you and eric ca n't happen . i do n't care how good together you are or how you feel about each other . it has to be over . bill : well , it 's about time . liam : no , it 's a problem , dad . eric 's ... girlfriend showed up in monaco . bill : mixing a little business with pleasure ?

ridge : we have more important things to talk about . eric : yes , we do . ridge , i want to commend you on how you handled releasing the information of douglas ' paternity . the exclusive sit - down with thomas and you is exactly the right thing to do . it deflected any speculation , and it shielded caroline from the spotlight . well done . ridge : thank you , dad . well , caroline does n't like being the focus . that 's why she 's in new york with douglas . eric : maybe she needs to stay there awhile -- keep her head down . ridge : yeah . you heard the interview . our marriage is over , and , uh ... she 's just gon na stay there and decompress with her moms . eric : there 's no way to salvage , then ? ridge : no . we 're doing what 's right for douglas . we talked about it . we decided together this is what 's best for the family . eric : that 's a shame . i understand , though . douglas is a child . you have to do what 's best for him . thomas : caroline and her moms are taking great care of douglas . pam : spoiling him rotten . ridge : well , since we 're talking about personal lives , is there anything you want to share about yours , dad ? pam and rick -- they probably want to hear about your trip . you want to fill them in ? liam : i mean , h - how many times was she warned to stay away from steffy and her family and she did n't listen ? bill : you ca n't put that on your brother . liam : why not ? ! he told her not to worry . he promised steffy he 'd make sure quinn would n't be a problem for them . bill : this is about quinn , liam ! she 's the problem , not your brother ! liam : but you do n't think wyatt recognizes what this is doing to steffy ? she ca n't handle this . she should n't have to . bill : you got to let them deal with it . liam : oh , do n't -- do n't do that . no more mandates , okay ? you do n't get to tell me to respect wyatt and steffy 's marriage and you get to have your little affair with brooke . i 'm not listening to that . bill : i will mandate what i want to mandate , and do n't project your anger of wyatt on me . liam : fine , dad ! fine ! i 'm just worried about steffy . that 's all this is . you know how dangerous quinn can be . and now she 's trying to infiltrate steffy 's whole family ? it 's too much ! we have to get steffy away from wyatt in order to get her away from wyatt 's mother . quinn : you want me to leave los angeles ? wyatt : this could cost me my marriage . is that what you want ? quinn : no ! wyatt : so then just do this for me . i wish that it did n't have to be this way , but there are limits . pursuing eric , going after him , like , following us to monte carlo -- are you serious ? ! you made a bad situation literally impossible . quinn : look , it only looks that way right now , but i 'm -- wyatt : mom , steffy will never forgive you . and if i do n't do something about it right now to -- to -- to fix it , she 'll never forgive me , either . quinn : i never wanted to hurt you . wyatt : [ sighs ] quinn : you know i care more about your happiness than i do my own . honey , maybe we could all be happy , right ? i mean , all of us -- you and steffy , me and -- wyatt : do n't e -- do n't ... even say you and eric . eric : this is a business meeting . i was n't gon na discuss my personal life . but since ridge clearly wants to get into it , i will . pam , can you stop taking notes here , please ? thomas and ridge and steffy know about this , but you two do n't . there 's a new woman in my life . it 's a mature , adult relationship . pam : eric , i knew there was something different about you -- extra little spring in your step . eric : we 've been very good for each other . rick : that 's great , dad . i 'm happy for you . eric : i 've been seeing quinn fuller . rick : quinn ? ! pam : what ? ! eric : it 's not a full - blown love affair . steffy : oh , and that can never happen . that ca n't . eric : it caused a lot of anxiety , and so , for the sake of our families , she and i decided to stop seeing each other . steffy : it stopped because quinn 's plan failed . eric : there was no plan . steffy : she targeted you . eric : she 's not targeting me ! i did not want to get into this . i know who she is . i know what she 's done . and i know that she 's changed . steffy : okay , this is n't about me . this could undermine the company and our family . it 's already affecting my marriage . she 's a manipulator . she came here in disguise . she followed you to monte carlo . are you honestly gon na tell me that she 's not targeting you ? ridge : i got to ask you , dad -- was this just in monte carlo or here , too ? eric : that is none of your business , ridge . pam : i still ca n't believe she was vladimir smirnoff ! rick : what -- what happened in monte carlo ?

what -- what 's her angle in all of this ? eric : oh , of course she has to have an angle ! a woman like that would n't possibly be interested in me without having some kind of an angle . is that right ? pam : quinn is a whackadoo ! ridge : she has an agenda . how do you not see that , dad ? she wants to get into steffy 's life and back into this company ! eric : all right . all right , everybody . all right . i 've heard your apprehensions . now , this is a business meeting . let 's get back to it . i 'll handle quinn . ridge : oh , no . we 're not gon na allow that . eric : you 're not gon na allow that ? steffy : no . you have to stay far away from her . eric : look , i realize -- i realize this has a very deep impact on your marriage . but this is my life . ridge : it is your life , but it 's more than that . you 're lonely , and you 're vulnerable . eric : i 'm not a child . i 'm not a child here ! i 'm the c.e.o . of this company ! and i will not have my private life pulled apart or judged in this office ! this meeting 's adjourned . quinn : look , maybe if we all just sit down together -- wyatt : i need you to start packing . quinn : wyatt . wyatt : right now . you know what ? i 'll help you . i will even buy you a ticket if you have to . i 'll do whatever you want , because you know what ? i just -- i ca n't -- i ca n't take it anymore . i ca n't talk about this anymore . quinn : look ... i understand why you 're worried and how painful and frustrating this is , but what your wife is expecting of me is not -- wyatt : have you contacted him ? is that why you 're fighting me on this right now ? quinn : no . wyatt : have you talked to eric since you got back from monte carlo ? quinn : no . i have n't spoken to him . rick : you guys , we got to get control of this . steffy : wyatt is doing his part . he 's not gon na allow his mom to worm her way into our family . thomas : granddad said he stopped seeing her . rick : okay . wait , wait , wait . what if quinn 's got other plans ? ridge : she might . we have to be prepared for that . i 'm working on a little something in case it evolves . rick : well , if you 've got some ideas , brother , why do n't you spit it out ? ridge : i 'm not ready for that yet . steffy : then what do we do ? it 's obvious he does n't feel the same way as we do . thomas : he would n't keep seeing her . rick : dad was pretty upset when he left . he felt we were condescending to him . steffy : we 're protecting him . we might need a private investigator -- track his cell phone . thomas : seriously ? you want to have him followed ? steffy : i want to know where he went . i 'm gon na check with pam . steffy : hey . can you check with charlie and see if my grandfather 's in the building ? pam : yeah , i ... do n't think he is . you do n't think he went to see quinn , do you ? liam : you have to come back to me . and i 'm not taking no for an answer . steffy : liam . liam : hi . everything going on with quinn , i just ... wanted to know you 're okay . quinn : [ sighs ] you said it was over , eric . why are you sending me this ? quinn : hi . [ knock on door ] quinn : eric . what are you doing here ? rick : you guys knew about this ? ! thomas : steffy called me from monte carlo . ridge : she saw quinn and dad together . rick : but what if she had n't ? is that the reason ? is that -- because dad got caught -- is that why he broke it off ? how long was this gon na be a secret , guys ? ! thomas : it 's out ! quinn 's out of the picture . that 's it . rick : but do n't you think dad 's being a little bit naive ? ridge : he 's always been naive about women . rick : well , have n't we all ? he 's had time to outgrow that , ridge . ridge : well , maybe he has n't . rick : well , he listened to us . he was n't happy about it . but i think we got through to him . ridge : it 's quinn fuller . anything is possible . thomas : i completely agree . rick : we ca n't let her get anywhere near dad or the company . he 's a compassionate guy . he gives people second chances . i mean , look how many chances he 's given you , ridge . ridge : and you , rick . rick : quinn is a manipulator . she 's looking for a weak spot in his armor . we ca n't ever let her get that close to dad ever again . eric : may i come in ? quinn : yes , of course . eric : quinn , i did n't mean for my coming over here to upset you . quinn : seeing you does n't upset me , eric . eric : what is it , then ? quinn : oh , my son was over here -- scolded me like i was a child . eric : i had a bit of that myself -- ridge , rick , my grandkids . even pam chimed in . quinn : i 'm sorry . eric : as if i could n't take care of myself , live my own life , make my own decisions . i took charge over there . i 'm in -- i 'm in charge of my company again , and that 's because of you . i told them that . quinn : it 's good to see you , eric . i 've missed you . [ sighs ] you know , you -- you -- you broke things off with me in monte carlo , and then you sent me that picture , and now you 're here . look , i 'm confused . i want to respect your wishes , but ... what does this mean ? liam : i 'm worried about you , steffy . steffy : wyatt is dealing with quinn . liam : yeah , and he 's said that before how many times ? it does n't make a difference . steffy : he knows how i feel about her . liam : she 's his mom , steffy . steffy : and i 'm his wife . liam : yeah , but that does n't change what she does or what she 's capable of . in fact , your relationship with wyatt makes her more dangerous to you . steffy : no , my grandfather 's the one who needs to be protected . liam : no , you need to be protected . if she can sink her claws into him , just think -- steffy : no , she wo n't . she wo n't . my family 's gon na make sure that does n't happen . [ sighs ] liam : what do you think i 'm doing right now ? i 'm trying to help you . steffy : i know . i know . i -- i know you 're trying to help me . liam : i mean , i can see the toll this is taking on you , and it does n't have to be this way . steffy : it wo n't be like this forever . liam : yeah . okay . all right . you can keep telling yourself that -- `` things are gon na get better `` -- but quinn is quinn . you ca n't have her in your life . it 's just too much . it 's too much stress . your family should n't have to deal with this . you deserve better . quinn : just tell me . do n't string me along . it 's the one thing i ca n't take . is it over ? eric : it 's just beginning . liam : it does n't have to be this way . | liam questions bill why katie was not all that responsive to the $ 50 m but did want his 12 ½ % of fc . liam tells bill he wants to tell him who the new woman in eric 's life is quinn . bill spits out his coffee . liam says she showed up uninvited . bill laments to liam not to take out his frustrations about his brother on him , it is quinn 's fault . liam says bill does not get to give out mandates when he has been carrying on with brooke . wyatt drops in on quinn and says all he wants to hear is that it is over between her and eric . he needs to hear that from her . he does not care how they feel about each other , it has to be over . he tells her she has to leave l.a. do whatever she wants , go wherever she wants but it has to be far away from him and steffy and the forrester 's . eric calls a meeting and it comes up that caroline is away with her moms and will stay there until she decompresses . ridge hints there might be something eric wants to tell them about his personal life . eric says he did not want to get into this now , but he has a full blown relationship with quinn fuller . he says he knows who she is and what she has done in the past but she has changed . steffy speaks up first and says she followed him to monte carlo and is clearly targeting him . and this is beginning to affect her marriage to wyatt . ridge asks if this just happened in m.c . or did it start here in l.a. eric tells him that is none of his business . she did make him realize he wanted to run fc again . they all want to know what her angle is . she is a whack ado and has an agenda . he tells them they need to get back to the meeting and he will worry about quinn . it is his life and he is not a child . he bellows that he is the ceo and he will not let his life be judged in this office , meeting adjourned . |
bill : i have feelings , liam , and i do n't appreciate your implication . liam : dad , the two things -- the two things that you 've wanted so dearly are coming to pass -- thomas and caroline back together and spectra on the verge of folding , which paves the way for you to make this smoked - glass monstrosity . bill : monstrosity ? let me tell you something , you and your bank - teller tie . you would n't know good taste if it fell over and hit you on the head ! that is a fine piece of architecture ! liam : you know autoimmune disease is not a real diagnosis , right ? bill : that 's what the man said . liam : the man ? oh , so it 's a man . it 's a male doctor . well , why do n't we call him ? why do n't we call him right now and get the specifics ? dad , is caroline really dying ? bill : i would never take advantage of something so tragic . liam : okay . then is she ? bill : no . liam : [ sighs ] steffy : so you think thomas will be designing long - distance ? sally : i think douglas and his mother will be keeping your brother pretty busy . steffy : wow . you 're taking this really well . is there something you 're not saying ? katie : should n't you be working ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] all work and no play makes wyatt a dull boy . katie : oh , so is that what this is ? wyatt : mm - hmm . katie : playtime ? wyatt : what ? this is fun . katie : [ chuckles ] wyatt : friends with benefits . although i 'm still waiting for things to get a little more -- how do you say ? -- beneficial . katie : hmm . well , you could be waiting a long time . wyatt : hmm . well , christmas could come early this year . katie : why do i get the feeling that you were one of those kids that wanted to open his presents as early as humanly possible ? wyatt : are n't all kids like that ? katie : i do n't know . i kind of enjoyed the anticipation . wyatt : how did i know that ? how did i know that ? i mean , there are some things worth waiting for , but i guess patience is n't one of my virtues . quinn : what is this about patience ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] mom ! hey . i 'm so happy for you ! i heard eric came home . quinn : yeah . well , he told me you came by . wyatt : you were asleep . i just , you know ... quinn : i had a lot of sleepless nights to make up for . wyatt : yeah . i kind of figured you guys just wanted some alone time . i did n't want to bother you . but hey , you -- you have n't called me in two whole days almost . i 'm proud of you . quinn : i do n't think i deserve that . wyatt : whatever you broke , you fixed . that 's a first , 'cause you do n't fix anything , except with a blowtorch . quinn : i do n't think i deserve that , either . but it 's just , you know , old dog , new tricks , i guess . katie : well , it 's a good trick to possess . congratulations . quinn : thank you , katie . so what is all this about patience ? wyatt : oh , i was just telling katie you have to go after what you want in life and make your own luck . i like results , and patience is overrated . quinn : oh , i completely agree . wyatt : huh . sally : i trust thomas knows what 's best for him . steffy : even if it 's not you ? sally : i did n't try and change his mind . steffy : you know , spectra 's shelf life wo n't last long without my brother , especially with an upcoming showing . sally : i know you think i 'm a no - talent hack , but your brother doesn't . liam : so , what ? you got caroline to sell thomas on this crock ? bill : of course not . i told him myself . liam : great . bill : you see , sometimes just a little white lie makes everything work out for everyone . liam : how does this work out for thomas ? or sally ? or literally anyone but you ? bill : he has a son , and with that comes responsibilities ! liam : that he has every intention to live up to ! bill : now ! because of me ! otherwise what ? it would have been 20 years ? you think it 's a healthy environment for that little boy to grow up in a house full of women ? liam : you -- you have three sons ! how many of their mothers are you living with ? ! bill : will you just stop already ? i mean , nobody 's unhappy but you ! so how about this time , you leave the sword in the stone , arthur , and let it be ? katie : what about this ? wyatt : eye on fashion would never run that . katie : why ? they would have run something like this when i was working at spencer . wyatt : really ? katie : yeah . wyatt : really ? that -- quinn : i - i assume you 're here to help katie pick images for the fall campaign . wyatt : no . i 'm just here to be an annoyance . katie , uh , took over my old job , so she kind of has to be nice to me . katie : no , i don't . wyatt : yes , you do . quinn : really ?

's . sally : maybe he 'll get tired of waiting . steffy : it 's bill spencer we 're talking about . he never gets tired . look , um , i have some pull at the institute . maybe i could write you a letter of recommendation . sally : gee ! thanks ! so if i agree to bankruptcy , you 're gon na write nice things about me in a letter ? steffy : the offer is genuine , okay ? i just do n't want you to go back to your old spectra ways . bill : [ sighs ] liam : [ dialing ] bill : what are you doing ? liam : i 'll give you three guesses .

[ door opens ] bill : alison , i told you i did n't want to be disturbed . what -- did your cousin call you ? caroline : what ? bill : no . then you 'd still be in new york . why are n't you ? caroline : there 's a crisis . bill : you did n't tell thomas that you 're not -- caroline : i told thomas that i was taking the train to d.c. for a foundation meeting . bill : oh . well , good . is he bonding with douglas ? caroline : yes . bill : and with you ? caroline : that 's the crisis . he told me that he wants to spend as much time with me as he can before ... the end . bill : that 's great ! caroline : no ! what about my death , the one that 's not happening ? bill : we 'll cross that bridge when we come to it , just like everybody else who 's alive ! caroline : no . i 'm not gon na go along with this . i care too much about thomas to go along with this absurd lie ! bill : what 's so absurd about it ? medical science does n't have a cure for everyone . caroline : i am not dying ! bill : yes , you are ! just at a slower pace than thomas thinks . we 're all dying , caroline . caroline : this is no good . i 'm not gon na go along with this , even if it means losing thomas . i - i won't . i won't . i ... i won't . [ door opens ] steffy : you look like i feel . liam : why ? is there someone you 'd like to choke the life out of ? steffy : maybe , yeah . what happened ? liam : well , it 's about thomas moving to new york to be with caroline and douglas . steffy : yeah , is n't that a good thing ? liam : is it ? thomas giving up his career and his life and his reputation that he worked for in l.a. ? is it a good thing ? steffy : well , some sacrifices have to be made . liam : yeah , not this one . this was just a guilt trip , plain and simple , based on a lie told by my dad . steffy : what ? bill and thomas ? what do they have to do with each other ? liam : caroline is what they have to do with each other . she 's a spencer , and that 's all the justification my dad needs in order to completely hijack her future . he -- he told thomas that caroline is dying of some made - up autoimmune disease . that 's why thomas left l.a. and spectra and sally . steffy : whoa , thomas would n't fall for that . liam : why not ? my dad is basically california 's most accomplished liar . steffy : caroline would not go through with that . liam : caroline is the easiest person for my dad to bully . steffy : okay , let 's just think about this for a second . you know , there was a time when all thomas wanted was caroline and douglas to be in l.a . liam : i know , i know . but it 's not about what thomas wants or does n't want . it 's my dad . he -- my dad is obsessed with that valuable downtown lot that the spectra building is on . and what better way to get them to shut their doors for good than get rid of their lead designer ? steffy : thomas should n't have even been working there in the first place . liam : you know what we have to do , right ? steffy : okay , okay , okay . just give me -- give me a chance to think this through . liam : w -- really ? steffy . you -- you know it 's wrong . thomas deserves to know the truth . | bill tells liam that he does not like his implication . liam says all he knows is that two things are happening caroline and thomas getting back together and spectra on the eve of folding and bill getting back his monstrosity of a skyscraper . again bill does not like the words but finally has to admit that caroline is not dying when liam proposes to call and ask her about it . quinn comes to the office and runs into wyatt and katie in one of their moments gloating about not having much patience . he was one of those who wanted to open his christmas presents before christmas . he is glad quinn is back in the office since he has not heard from her in two days . they continue that patience is overrated . he thinks you have to go after something if you want it . bill tells liam that sometimes a little white lie can mend everything . now thomas has come around thanks to him and everyone is happy except liam . so leave the sword in the stone and let it be . quinn says wyatt seems awfully chipper and she wonders why he is here . perhaps he is just killing time but he might be pestering katie and keeping her from work . steffy tells sally that thomas is not coming back any time soon so she does not know how sally is going to keep her doors open . she is a hack but even that takes talent . maybe she could even write her a letter of recommendation and she can even go back to designing school and not go back to her old spectra ways . |

stephanie : well , i would n't even have to be concerned about supporting amber if -- brooke : if i just stopped breathing , right ? everybody would be so much happier . you know , that 's really not fair , stephanie . stephanie : oh , let 's talk about fair . is it fair for amber to be sitting in the church watching her life fall apart ? she 's been a wonderful mother -- something that you 've never been . she could lose her child . so let 's just discuss the real thing about being `` fair . `` gladys : `` deacon and macy get hitched , `` take two . macy : sorry for the interruption . minister : that 's quite all right . as i was saying , we 're here today to celebrate the union of macy alexander and deacon sharpe in holy matrimony . but there 'll be a third partner in this marriage . eric will be a valued and cherished member of this new family . now , this is normally the part of the ceremony where i feel compelled to remind the new bride and groom that there will be obstacles , that being married is n't necessarily about living happily ever after , but more growing and changing together . but in talking to macy and deacon these past few days , and getting to know them a little bit better , i 've come to discover that they 're already aware of that . these are two incredibly brave souls who have wrestled with great pain and sadness , who are learning to love each other and themselves , as god intended . that 's a lifelong process -- never - ending . but the good news is that the -- the rewards are never - ending , as well . together , you 'll find your happiness , and your joy , and your healing . and you 'll pass these gifts on to your children , and they to theirs , and on and on . and thereby , your love will make this world a better place . amber : not my world . and not eric 's world . rick : shh . minister : so now , if you will , join hands . have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourselves to each other in marriage ? both : we have . minister : and will you love and honor one another as husband and wife , throughout all your days ? both : we will . minister : macy and deacon have declared their intention to enter into holy matrimony . if there 's anyone who can show just cause why they should n't be married according to god 's holy word , let them speak now or forever hold their peace . amber : um , i -- i object . brooke : you must really miss taylor right now . stephanie : what ? brooke : well , she 's the one you would always go to and blame everything under the sun on me . and she would smile and laugh and say , `` oh , stephanie . `` but she 's not here anymore . and nobody else wants to hear it . are n't you tired of listening to yourself ? you know what your problem is , stephanie ? you are all alone in this world . you have no life . stephanie : believe me , you really do n't need to remind me that taylor is gone . i see how unhappy ridge and the children are without her . brooke : so you 'd rather have them be unhappy than be with me ? stephanie : you 'll never take her place . you will never be the person that she was . brooke : fortunately , for ridge and the children , that 's not your decision to make . stephanie : he 's not gon na marry you , brooke . brooke : oh , yes , he will . if that 's what i want , that 's what he 'll do . so you better think about that next time you decide to hurl one of your famous insults at me . stephanie , i 'm the only person standing between you and the only family you 've got left . and it 's all your fault . it 's because of your irrational hatred . and nobody wants to be around you . everybody 's so sick of dealing with that . you know what , just get out ! i mean it . get out of my house ! i ca n't take it anymore either -- just like everybody else in your life ! deacon : amber , for god 's sake , what are you doing ? amber : i -- i , uh -- i object . um , i mean -- i mean , i object ! i -- sally : amber , be quiet or leave . amber : no . little eric : mommy , what 's wrong ? amber : oh , it 's okay , honey . mommy just wants to talk to deacon and macy for a minute . sally : clarke , would you ? clarke : yeah , okay . eric ? come on , buddy , i think it 's time to take a little break , okay ? so , let 's give your dad these rings . deacon : i 'll keep these for you , okay ? clarke : okay . and come on . let 's go outside and hang out . macy : you 've got to stop this right now . deacon : amber , you just scared the hell out of the kid . amber : yeah , well , imagine how scared he 's gon na be when he loses us , huh ? his parents ! macy : what are you talking about ? we 've told you over and over -- deacon : i told her before the ceremony . what are you doing -- amber : oh , right . right , right , the ceremony . yeah , you got this guy going on and on about eric and his `` new family `` ! well , you know what , he has a family who loves him ! macy : we all love little eric -- amber : yeah , a little too much ! look , it 's not my problem that you ca n't have children ! okay ? why do n't you just go out adopt some little child in need or something ? just leave us alone ! rick : hey , honey , just -- please -- amber : no ! no , somebody had to say it ! sally : amber , you are gon na have to be quiet , or we 're gon na have to call the police . deacon : everybody just calm down , right now ! this is your idea of cooperating with us ? this is how you work things out ? amber , you knew this day was important to me . amber : yeah , so important that you 'd just sacrifice your son . deacon : what the hell are you talking about ? amber : what , she wants a baby , you want her . you give her eric and presto , everybody is happy ! everybody except eric ! you gave him to me ! you gave him to me because he loves me . and i love him , more than anything in this world ! you can not change your mind now ! no , he is my baby ! deacon : no , he 's not .

brooke : maybe we should go down and take a swim . ridge : maybe later . brooke : ridge , we both feel bad about thorne . ridge : he was the one that wanted mother and dad to choose . brooke : but you ca n't feel bad because they chose you . ridge : no , i do n't . i do n't . i just wish it had n't come down this way . brooke : it was bound to happen , given the way he was acting . it 's probably better he 's not at forrester right now . ridge : he 's going to be hard to replace . what he said about the production staff -- it 's true . nobody knows them the way he does . brooke : he 'll be missed . ridge : his antics wo n't . mother and dad definitely made the right choice . stephanie : eric , we 've made a terrible mistake . eric : who could ever have anticipated that he would react that way ? well , we 're just gon na have to give some time to calm down , and then we 'll talk to him . sally : oh , no , you wo n't . eric : how did you get in here , sally ? sally : i told megan that i had a message for you from thorne . she seemed to think you 'd be anxious to get it . stephanie : well , of course we are . sally : sorry i have to tell you this , highness , but i do n't think thorne has much of anything to say to you . stephanie : so you talked to him ? sally : no . i listened . which is more than you people did . stephanie : sally , is he all right ? sally : oh , now you care about him ? stephanie : well , of course we do . sally : oh , really ? well , where was all that concern when you were kicking him out on his ear ? eric : we did n't kick him out , sally . sally : yes , you did , eric . you gave him the bum 's rush and you gave his job to ridge . stephanie : oh , sally -- this was a really difficult decision . eric : darling , we do not owe her any explanations . sally , this is a family problem . sally : thorne is part of my family , too , you know . eric : look , we 're not interested in your opinion . sally : i do n't care . you 're going to get it anyway . so you might as well shut up and listen . when a son of yours grows up to be exactly the man you taught him to be , you ought to reward him for that . what you should not do is punish him by handing the reins to the family business over to his troublemaking , illegitimate brother . thorne : i 'm sorry . i ca n't believe i left you at the office . darla : i 'm glad you did . it gave me a chance to talk to with your parents . thorne : well , i 'm not going back there . darla : thorne , they felt awful . thorne : not enough to get rid of ridge . i made the right decision . darla : i know how disappointed you must be , honey . thorne : i was at first . then i realized i never stood a chance . darla : that made you feel better ? thorne : i 'm free . darla : well , your job at forrester was n't exactly a burden , you know . it was an honor . thorne : yeah , an honor my parents thought i did n't deserve . i 've spent my whole life trying to earn my family 's respect . and what did it get me ? darla : if ridge had n't come back -- thorne : then i never would 've realized the truth , darla . all the values that my parents taught me , all that garbage about family unity and honor , putting the family first -- that means nothing to me . darla : those values are what made you the man that i love . you are the most honest , incredible , decent , beautiful human being , thorne forrester . and your parents , that may not mean a lot to them . but it means the world to me , and your daughter . amber : you did n't leave . thomas : did you really want me to ? do n't answer that . amber : thomas , those things i said -- thomas : no , do n't worry about it . amber : yeah , but you 've been so nice to me . i should n't have -- thomas : i understand why you did . amber : maybe i was wrong . maybe you 're too mature for me . thomas : i 've definitely learned a lot these last few weeks . amber : i wish i could tell you it gets better when you get older . thomas : well , you know what they say . if at first you do n't succeed eric : sally , ridge is my son just as much as thorne is . i raised them both . sally : yeah , but you did n't raise them in exactly the same way , did you , eric ? ridge was always your pet . he was your star . you gave him all of your enthusiasm . all of your admiration . what did thorne get ? huh ? he got a lot of speeches about family loyalty and hard work . stephanie : well , they 're very different people . sally : they 're the people you made them . eric : honorable , dedicated , talented men . sally : well , where 's the honor in humiliating one of them ? eric : sally , we understand the situation , all right ? we 're dealing with it . sally : how ? by sitting around , scratching your heads , wondering what happened ? if it was me , i 'd be over at thorne 's place right now pounding on the door , begging him to come back . stephanie : sally , do you think he would ? sally : i do n't know . i really get the impression that he does n't want to have anything to do with you people ever again . thorne : i want to be the kind of man that you and alexandria are proud of . darla : we are so proud of you . thorne : even after what happened today ? darla : your parents made a mistake . what they did to you , thorne , was horrible . and i know they 're going to regret it . thorne : you bet they are . my father was just trying to patronize me , talking about how much they need me and that i 'm the lynchpin of their success . he 's going to see -- they are all gon na see -- how true that really was . darla : i thought you said you 're not going back . thorne : oh , i 'm not . not even if they offered me ceo . darla : so what are you gon na do ? thorne : i 'm going to do what they 'd least expect . because , you see , i am tired of being the nice guy . because nice guys finish last . well , that 's not me anymore . i 'm going to make my own success on my own terms . darla : that 's right . you are not going to let this setback defeat you . thorne : no , honey , this is not a setback . this is a wake - up call and it 's one that i 've needed for a long time . i 've never felt more energized . like this huge weight has just come off of my shoulders . there 's nothing holding me back . there is no limit to what i can do . darla : there is nothing you ca n't do . i believe in you . thorne : you know , it might take some time . it may take a lot of time . darla : we 'll get through it . thorne : no . we 're gon na do better than that , honey . we 're gon na come out on top . and i guarantee you , my family will never underestimate me again . brooke : i feel bad for thorne , but i feel even worse for your parents . ridge : i just wonder how i 'd feel if thomas and the girls were going at it like that . brooke : do you think we should talk to them ? the press is going to make this look like a coup . ridge : i do n't want him to be blindsided at work tomorrow . brooke : you should call him . ridge : he 's not here ? brooke : no , the girls said they have n't seen him since this afternoon . ridge : he should have left us a message . we need to know where he is .

the one who brought you home ? put her on the phone . thomas : no way . ridge : thomas , i 'm not kidding . you get your butt back in this house now . amber : your dad wants you to come home ? thomas : yep . but he 's just gon na have to wait 'cause i have got other plans . thorne : sally . sally : hello , thorne . you all right ? thorne : i 'm fine . sally : where 's darla ? thorne : she 's taking a walk on the beach . sally : there 's no emergency ? listen , i will have you know that i was really enjoying reading the riot act to your parents like they 've never had it read to them before -- thorne : you 're going to love this even more . i 've got a proposition for you . brooke : thomas hung up on you ? ridge : yeah , he sure did . that car has gps on it . the company should be able to track it . hello . this is ridge forrester . account number 4599 . no , i 'm not reporting a stolen car . my son has taken the car . it 's the gs400 . malibu ? no , i do n't need directions . i know exactly where it is . thank you very much . they 're out at the beach house . and i can pretty much guess what they 're doing , too . brooke : you do n't think -- ridge : i got to put a stop to this right now . thomas : now , where were we ? amber : thomas . i appreciate what you 're trying to do . i really do . thomas : is it working ? amber : i 'm touched . i mean , you 're a sweet kid . thomas : oh , please , do n't start that again . amber : oh , i know you do n't want to hear it . but it 's gon na keep coming up . we ca n't ignore it . thomas : sure we can . amber : thomas , you think this is what you want . but it 's not . not really . getting mixed up with me is just going to lead you to nothing trouble . thomas : not if nobody knows about it . amber : your dad 's gon na want to know where you were tonight . thomas : now let me worry about that . amber , i know you 're scared . and i do n't blame you . my family has n't been great to you the last couple of years . but do n't tell me we ca n't do this because you 're too old or i 'm too young . in case you have n't noticed , i 've had to grow up pretty fast since my mom died . amber : i know . ca n't imagine she 'd be too happy about this . thomas : she liked you . a lot . she was an excellent judge of character . amber : yeah . she was awesome . there 's so much of her in you . but if she saw this , she 'd probably diagnose me as some kind of pervert . thomas : you 're so wrong . she was a world - famous psychiatrist . i mean , she spent most of her career analyzing how people relate , and writing articles about it . and you know what she came up with ? zip . there 's no formula . sometimes people connect because they 've got everything in common and sometimes opposites attract . it 's different for everybody . some of the greatest lovers of all time had the whole world against them . amber : thomas , we 're not lovers . thomas : not yet . sally : you said `` proposition . `` you mean you want to make me some kind of offer ? thorne : actually i want to take you up on yours . something you said earlier . that i could be part of your family . did you mean that personally or professionally ? sally : both . thorne : so if there were an opening at spectra -- sally : whoa ! you asking me for a job ? thorne : well , i 'm not going back to forrester . sally : yeah , well , i understand that . but to come to work for the competition , that would drive your family crazy . thorne : especially if we were more successful than they were . sally : which , of course , we might very well be . given my flair for publicity and your years of success in business and expertise . thorne : i can give you more than that , sally . a lot more . eric : thorne is so hurt and so furious . how are we ever going to get him back ? especially with sally over there egging him on . and darla , too . stephanie : they 're just a piece of the problem . i do n't know . god . maybe if we 'd focused on him right from the beginning , we would n't be in this mess . i do n't know . sally : think for a minute , thorne . you are a seasoned executive with years of experience in the rag trade . you let it be know that you 're going to throw your hat in the ring , and you could start a bidding war . any fashion house in the world would be interested . thorne : i do n't want to work for just any fashion house , sally . i want to work for yours . sally : why ? thorne : do i have to spell it out ? sally : what do you have in mind ? thorne : success . beyond your wildest dreams . sally : okay . and what happens if your parents come around and beg your forgiveness ? thorne : oh , i 'm sure they will . sally : will you be able to keep your eye on the prize then ? thorne : prize ? sally , you know better . pirates hunt for treasure . sally : indeed they do , my fine buckaneer . indeed they do . so , why not , hmm ? let us weigh anchor and load the guns . the good ship spectra is about to set sail . welcome aboard , matey . thomas : go on , admit it . you 're impressed . amber : maybe a little . thomas : i know a lot more than you give me credit for . amber : not enough to stay away from me . thomas : and why would i do that ? amber : hmm , let 's think about this one . i have no job , no money , no prospects . and the way rick feels about me , i will be out of this house before we know it . thomas : no . this is my mom 's house . you can stay as long as you want . amber : i 'm so sorry , taylor . i 'm trying to convince him . he just wo n't give up . thomas : you 're right . i wo n't . no matter what you say , i 'm gon na be right here . amber : bugging the heck out of me ? thomas : who you kidding ? you love it . c 'm on , admit it . amber : i like having you around . thomas : and ? amber : and i like giving you a hard time . thomas : and ? amber : i like knowing somebody believes in me . thomas : well , then , you should put this on . so you never forget . looks great . amber : thank you . ridge : thomas forrester . i know you 're in here . you 've never been in so much trouble in your life . amber : shh , shh , shh . did you hear something ? ridge : thomas ! get out of the bed . both of you . get out of the bed ! thomas : dad , what are you doing ? ridge : it 's time to go home . whoever you are , get out of the bed ! | thorne and sally decide to partner up to work together . later , darla comes home to find an energized thorne . ridge and brooke discuss how hurt thorne is and ridge seems to feel some regret . however , the discussion turns to thomas who is n't there . thomas and amber get really close on the bed at the beach house , but ridge tracks down thomas via his car ( damn gps ! ) and interrupts . amber hides under the covers . stephanie and eric wonder if thorne will ever speak to them again . |

[ cell phone chimes ] steffy : it 's my grandfather . he says he wants to see me , rick , and my father in his office right away . wyatt : did he say why ? steffy : no . just that he has something to tell us . sasha : i am not leaving l.a. and i 'm not leaving my career just to help you make up with aunt vivienne . julius : career ? sasha . models are a dime a dozen in this town . the only reason the forresters are giving you work is because you 're maya and nicole 's sister . sasha : no . i got this job on my own . just like you 're gon na have to fix things on your own . julius : i did n't say you had to stop modeling , but there are agencies in chicago . good ones . and i 'm sure that maya and rick would give you a glowing recommendation . sasha : oh , why ? 'cause they want me gone , too ? julius : there are agents in new york , in paris . go . get yourself some experience . then maybe you can come back . sasha : oh , after everything 's solid with you and aunt viv and nicole and zende are probably married ? julius : what you do n't understand is because it 's not a secret anymore does n't mean it is n't an issue . it is . as long as you are here in l.a. , no one can move on . you need to go , sasha . listen , viv is trying to get past this , but how can she when you show up at our granddaughter 's christening ? sasha : i -- julius : it only reminds her of all of the holidays , you sitting right there at her table . i mean , the biggest lie that i ever told is sitting right there in front of her . you being here is a constant reminder of the biggest mistake that i ever -- thomas : all right , you need to stop . can you not see what you 're doing right now ? how on earth can you talk to your daughter that way ? you 're her father . boy , you do n't act like it . you ca n't keep blaming your problems on her . she was a little girl . she was your little girl . she obeyed you and she kept her daddy 's secret . julius : if you 'll forgive me , i 'm talking to sasha about things that affect my family . thomas : uh , she is your family . julius : clearly , you do n't understand . this is a very complicated situation . thomas : no , sir . it 's not . you made a mistake . you need to fix that . sasha is your daughter . you need to treat her with that respect . julius : oh , i get it . i see . you 're the chivalrous gentleman . you want to protect her . i understand that . listen , tom . i can assure you about is in the best interests for everyone , including her . thomas : i think it 's in your best interests you leave right now . wyatt : you do n't have to stay , liam . liam : are you kidding me ? i want to know what 's going on . what 's eric got to say to everybody ? wyatt : [ scoffs ] it 's probably just business . liam : mm , kind of seemed like a summons to me . wyatt : it was a little weird . eric texts steffy . pam 's right outside . she could have wrangled everybody up in seconds . liam : well , right . maybe pam does n't even know there 's a meeting . see , now i got you curious , do n't i ? or maybe a little worried ? are you worried ? wyatt : why would i be worried ? liam : because maybe your mother is lying to you . wyatt : my guess is that eric is over there reassuring steffy and the whole family that it is over between him and my mother . liam : okay , fine . i hope you 're right . i really do . i hope you 're right . wyatt : good . liam : for all our sakes . but i 'm gon na stick around in case you 're not . wyatt : [ scoffs ] eric : pam , everybody here ? pam : oh , yeah . they 're all waiting for you inside . eric . i just want to say something to you . i know that you 've been feeling kind of lonely . believe me , if anyone understands those feelings , i do . but ... quinn ? steffy : granddad , where have you been ? ridge : i 've been texting you . rick : why have n't you answered your phone ? steffy : did you see quinn ? eric : have a seat . i want to get started . ridge : okay .

brooke : the cabin 's ready . i had everything pulled out of storage . ridge : great . hope and liam will appreciate that . brooke : not as much as i appreciate what steffy did for them . ridge : [ sighs heavily ] brooke : you know , it was a huge sacrifice for her . and it definitely took a lot of strength to let them walk out that door with their child . ridge : i should have stayed with steffy . brooke : ridge , she did n't want you to . ridge : she thought beth was her daughter . there was no reason for her to doubt flo 's story . brooke : nobody could have imagined . but beth is alive . and i am very , very excited about that , being her grandmother . ridge : [ exhales softly ] brooke : she 's gon na come home . i know this is really difficult for you . and i do feel for what steffy is going through . but i 'm also happy for hope and liam . i really wish i could see their faces when they walk in the door with their -- their little girl . hope : i ca n't believe you 're here . heh . yeah . this is where we live . this is where you 're gon na be nurtured and loved . this is home . with your mommy and daddy . ridge : are you gon na go down there ? brooke : no . this is their time . hope and liam need to be alone with their little girl . hope : then we are back in the living room . see ? liam : so , did your mom really do all this ? like , bring in the rocking chair and the crib and -- and set up the nursery ? hope : [ chuckles ] yes . someone 's grandma is very excited . and if i let her , she would try to put you to be herself . but that is my job now , and i am not giving that up to anybody . except maybe you . liam : ah , we 'll do it together . hope : [ sighs happily ] i still have to tell myself that this is real . liam : it 'll take some adjusting . but , hey , at least we already know she 's comfortable with you . [ beth coos ] hope : [ giggles ] i 'll never forget the night i told your daddy that i was pregnant with you . liam : it 's like the whole city was celebrating . hope : liam ... i 'm pregnant . liam : oh , my god . hope : for the next nine months , we planned every detail of your arrival . we were so excited when we found out you were a girl . and then the unthinkable happened . we thought we lost you . hope : mommy loves you . hope : you never left my thoughts . hope : mommy ill always love you . hope : especially when i was holding you in my arms . our connection , it did n't make sense to me then . it never crossed my mind that you could be mine . liam : we 're gon na have our family back . hope : until your daddy figured it out , and came running to tell me the most amazing news . hope : [ sobbing ] oh , my god ! liam : she 's alive . she 's alive . hope : it 's been an unbelievable journey . but now all that pain is behind us . and i have this little miracle in my arms . liam : yeah . there 's a bunch of whole almonds in every bar brooke : nothing from thomas ? ridge : nothing . brooke : where is he ? what is thinking ? ridge : [ sighs ] thomas , it 's your father . again . i 'm gon na keep calling you till you call me back . you ca n't just disappear . i will meet you anywhere you want , any time you want , but you have a responsibility . you have to pay for what you did . [ sighs ] brooke : what are we gon na tell douglas ? ridge : i do n't know . brooke : we 'll look after him . ridge : that poor kid has been through so much . he needs some stability . i thought that 's what hope was gon na give him . that -- that 's why i encouraged that relationship in the first place . [ knock on door ] camille , hey . come on in . camille : hey . it 's good to see you again , ridge . ridge : good to see you . camille : hi , brooke . brooke : hi , camille . camille : hi . ridge : sorry about the change of plan . camille : ethan and douglas had a good time . douglas : we made brownies ! brooke : wow ! you 're gon na have to teach me the recipe . camille : well , you guys have a good night . brooke : thank you . you , too . camille : yeah , of course . ridge : thank you . camille : all right . bye ! brooke : bye . douglas : is my dad here ? ridge : uh , no . not right now . douglas : he 's angry with me . ridge : well , do n't worry about that . i 'm gon na talk to him , and we 'll sort everything out . douglas : i told a secret he said not to . brooke : we know . douglas : are you mad at me , too ? brooke : no . not at all . douglas : i told hope . she did n't believe me . brooke : well , she does now . douglas : she knows beth is alive ? brooke : yes . hope knows beth is alive . thanks to you . [ beth babbles ] hope : i ca n't stop looking at her . liam : [ chuckles ] i know the feeling . hope : heh . i just -- i want to freeze time and just live in this moment as long as we can . liam : hey , you know , turn off the phones and lock the doors . hope : yes . liam : i bet everybody would understand . hope : but i also want to share the joy . you know , with my mom , with my aunts , with douglas . just , i need to tell him how grateful i am . liam : yeah , i know . but ... there will be plenty of time for that . and everything else . hope : you 're worried about steffy and kelly ? liam : uh , yeah . i -- well , yeah . i am . but that 's not -- i was actually thinking about ... thomas . hope : [ sighs ] liam : and i know i -- i should n't be bringing him up right now , so i 'm sorry -- hope : no , no , no , no . liam , i 'm -- i am sorry . liam : the guy basically tried to kidnap you . i was n't gon na let that happen . hope : he was frantic . douglas must have said something to him on the phone . i just thought he was calling to say hi and check in , but then all of a sudden it was , `` get dressed , `` you know , `` we have to go . `` [ sighs ] liam : `` get dressed , `` huh ? hope : no , i -- changed . liam : yeah . hope : he -- he bought me lingerie . liam : no , i get it . i mean , it was your honeymoon , so ... hope : no . i mean , it was supposed to be , but , liam ... we didn't . i know what he wanted , but -- liam : okay . [ laughs ] hope : i could n't -- [ chuckles ] i couldn't . e - even with his wedding ring on my finger , i -- i still loved you . liam : mmph . [ both chuckle ] knowing now what he 's capable of , all the lies ... just ... ugh ! ugh ! i ended our marriage because i thought it was what was best for the children . but , liam -- [ sighs ] i never stopped loving you . humira patients , you inspire us . douglas : everybody knows ? brooke : it 's not a secret anymore . because of you . douglas : i had to tell . daddy said not to . he was mean . ridge : i 'm sorry he got upset with you . douglas : mommy said do n't lie . lying hurts people . brooke : well , that 's true . ridge : your mom was an amazing woman . strong and kind , just like you . but i do n't think your dad wanted to hurt hope . douglas : he knew she was sad . he said we should help . brooke : oh , douglas . you did help . hope is so happy , and so is liam . and they are down in the cabin right now with beth . douglas : beth is home ? brooke : yes . with her mommy and daddy , where she belongs . and that is all because of you . and nobody is going to forget what you did . hope : ohhh ! you know , all this time , i still felt like a mother . now , thanks to douglas , we know why . liam : out of the mouths of babes . hmm . hope : yeah , but where does that leave him ? you know , his father has run off . his mother is dead . douglas is a victim in all this , too . [ knock on door ] you do n't think thomas ... ? liam : would he knock ? stay here . [ suspenseful music plays ] douglas ! [ chuckles ] hey ! douglas : i hope it 's okay . hope : yeah , come on in . douglas : brooke said you would n't mind . hope : not at all . take a seat . [ giggles ] i am so , so happy to see you . and look ! look . look at what you did . you brought us our baby back . douglas : brooke said you were happy . why are you crying ? hope : because my heart is so full . [ beth babbles ] yeah . liam : i 'll take you . hope : oh , yeah . liam : yeah . ohh . hope : douglas , i want to apologize for not believing you when you told me . i should have known that you would never lie . you told me that beth was alive . and you were right . [ sobs ] you 're the only person who cared enough to tell me . and i know how hard that must have been , to go against your dad . douglas : he said i was wrong . but i heard him say phoebe was beth . why did he lie ? you 're so nice . you wanted to take care of me . hope : and i still do . okay ? you have nothing to worry about . i will always look after you . and so will liam . all that bad stuff , it 's behind us now , okay ? and our family is together . finally . because of you , douglas . because of you . come here ! ridge : what do you mean , you ca n't find him ? dr. buckingham . he works for the national health . how hard can that be ? he 's the one that stole the baby , remember ? thank you . okay . brooke : no sign of reese ? ridge : not yet . but they will . they 'll find him . i owe you an apology . brooke : ridge , you were supporting your son . ridge : but i should n't have done that . brooke : you thought he was stepping up . ridge : but he 's not . he 's the same . he -- he uses people , manipulates people . and you tried to tell me . but i did n't listen . brooke : hey , it did n't work . he did n't succeed , and neither did dr . buckingham . all of the secrets came out . and beth is alive . and she 's here . and hope is reunited with her daughter . and that is something to celebrate . douglas : hey , beth . hope : you know we 're all together now because of you ? because you are one of the bravest and most honest little boys i have ever met . and beth is so lucky to have you looking out for her . because you know the difference between right and wrong . douglas : it 's not hard . just be nice , do n't lie , or keep secrets . liam : that 's good advice . hope : mm - hmm . douglas : my dad did n't think so . [ beth babbling ] liam : is that , uh -- is that what you -- you told him when you called the hotel ? douglas : he said no one would believe me about beth . i told him you did . you were going to make hope believe it , too . hope : [ sighs ] you know , that phone call ... [ beth fussing ] yeah , i got it . that phone call was really important , douglas . [ knock on door ] brooke : douglas ? it 's bedtime , i think . oh , honey ! look at you ! and my precious granddaughter ... in your home . hello , my sweet little angel . [ gasps ] oh ! liam : hey , thank you so much for the groceries , and for setting everything up . brooke : oh , of course . i just wanted beth to be comfortable . hope : we were just telling douglas how thankful we are for everything he did . brooke : yes , we are so proud of you . hope : mm - hmm . you told the truth . i love you so much , douglas . douglas : i love you , too , hope . brooke : i 'm so happy for all of you . douglas : good night , beth . i 'm glad you 're home .

[ chuckles ] hope : [ sighs ] thomas wanted douglas to lie . liam : his own kid . there 's not really a line for that guy , is there ? hope : you know , it 's difficult thinking about everything we 've lost . all the time . not being able to hold her in the hospital or feed her for the first time . her first word , her learning to crawl . but you know , there is so much more i have to be excited about . i 'm her mother . and i am going to kiss every little skinned knee . [ liam chuckles ] i 'm gon na read you stories . i 'm gon na sing you to sleep . liam : speaking of which , i think , uh , someone 's had a little too much excitement for one day . hope : all right . let 's ... liam : here . help you get up . hope : i got her . liam : yeah . come here . beth : dada , dada . liam : yes , that 's right . that 's who i am . hope : [ chuckles ] liam : [ laughs ] here you go . hope : oh ! hi , angel . hi , my little girl . i dreamed of rocking you to sleep for a very long time . actually , you 're right . let 's see . i carried this picture around with me for months . hmm . it was all i had of you . i could n't let go of the memory . now here you are in my arms . in our home . and you 're gon na be a part of our lives . and our future . [ beth whines ] hope : [ chuckles ] oh ! | brooke tells ridge that she had things taken out of storage and the cabin will be ready for hope and liam to bring beth home . ridge says he feels like he should have stayed with steffy . brooke says she does not think she wanted him to . she will have kelly . she tells him she is sorry for what steffy is going through now but she ca n't help but be happy for hope . she wo n't go down to the cabin ; this is their time . hope , holding beth , goes into the cabin with liam . she says she has a million things to do and she is going to do all of them with nobody else well besides him . he says they will do it together . brooke asks ridge if he has heard from thomas . he says no but he will leave another message . the friend 's mother drops douglas back to brooke . he asks if his dad is there . brooke tells him no , but they are trying to find him . douglas says he is mad at him for telling a secret . he hopes brooke is not mad at him too . she says no , not at all ; in fact she thanks him as now hope knows beth is alive . and it was all due to him telling . hope tells liam that she 's up to sharing with her mother , her aunts and those who cared so much . he says there will be time for that soon . she asks if he is thinking of steffy and kelly now . he says some but he really was thinking about thomas and what he might do now . he basically tried to kidnap hope and he could not allow that . hope says she wants liam to know that even with a wedding ring on .. she could not do it . liam is relieved . |
samantha : better get going . ridge : what -- do you have an appointment ? samantha : oh , no , i -- but your mom is out and -- and i know you 're probably anxious to get home . ridge : yeah , to an empty house . yeah , yeah . no , thank you . samantha : well , where are the kids ? ridge : play dates , sleepovers , you know . probably the last before school starts . samantha : ah , summer . i spent most of mine right here . ridge : yeah , lots of memories in this old house . samantha : is that your wife ? ridge : yeah . samantha : your mom told me it 's been really hard on you . ridge : oh , well that 's great that she would get into all that right off the bat . samantha : yeah , and she also told me about her and eric . i -- i just always figured they 'd be together forever . ridge : yeah , did n't we all ? has n't really been smooth sailing around here . for anyone in the family . rick : amber confronted macy during the ceremony . amber : well , the minister said , `` speak now or forever hold your peace . `` rick : and then , when we tried to take eric with us , their attorney stopped us . eric : well , what does that mean ? when you tried to `` take eric with you ? `` amber : you know what , we ca n't let them take him to mexico . because they 're not going to give him back . rick : we do n't know that . amber : she threatened us , rick . stephanie : how , honey ? rick : look , we can not stop deacon from exercising his parental rights . if we interfere -- amber : if we interfere , they 'll take him away from us . which is what they wan na do anyway . but we ca n't let that happen . we got ta fight this . and no one will come between me and my son ever again . [ cheers ] sally : arriba ! arriba and congratulations , you two ! macy : what is this ? clarke : well , we could n't let you go to mexico for your honeymoon without a little fiesta . macy : well , that 's nice , but we just came by to get our things . sally : well , your things are all set . your luggage is all packed . we are ready to rock and roll . everything is perfect , darling . you do n't have to worry about a thing . deacon : this is so nice of you guys , i ca n't believe this . you know what ? we are just getting started and it 's gon na get better from here on out , is n't it ? but , you know , something 's missing . i think -- i do n't know . i think maybe somebody needs a hat . what do you think ? huh ? clarke : a little sombrero ! deacon : ah - hah ! there we go . [ with mexican accent ] he said , `` badges -- we do n't need no stinking badges ! `` clarke : you know what ? i think i need to get these boys a virgin margarita . deacon : that 's a great idea . sally : excellent idea . and maybe a little snack ? or i could make up a little chihuahua bag for the airplane , huh ? deacon : all right , pard ' , let 's belly - up to the bar , here . clarke : here we go . deacon : look at this . is n't this great ? clarke : some limes here -- sally : clarke told me what happened after the ceremony . are you all right ? macy : everything 's fine . sally : i do n't think everything 's fine , darling . after that woman attacked you during your wedding ceremony , i think amber must be losing her mind . macy : well , she 's gon na lose a lot more than that if she does n't control herself . stephanie : this situation 's gotten completely out of hand . amber : i had it under control . i did . everything would 've been fine if brooke had n't slapped macy with that restraining order . 'cause that 's when deacon proposed -- eric : amber , you 're not going to accomplish anything with a lot of finger- pointing here . rick : dad 's right . we need to figure out what to do . amber : we need to make sure eric does n't get on that plane . stephanie : now , amber , look . just settle down . they 're going to come back here to the united states . for goodness sakes , macy 's family is here . deacon works , he has a job . amber : yeah , but they have our son ! rick : amber has a point . the longer they have our son , the less our chances are in court . eric : who said anything about court ? rick : we 're filing for adoption . if deacon contests , we could be in for a very long fight . and -- if eric is living with them -- amber : i ca n't lose him . i -- i just ca n't . stephanie : eric , what do you think we can do ? eric : what flight are they on ? rick : they would n't tell us anything . we have to go through their lawyer if we want to get in touch with them . eric : sally would know . amber : you 've got -- you got ta stop them . eric : we 'll do everything we can , hon . rick : look , honey , it 's been a long day . you should go lie down . dad and stephanie are on board now , okay ? amber : yeah . rick : everything 's gon na be fine . ridge : did my mother tell you why she and dad split up ? samantha : no , but i got the feeling it was n't her idea . ridge : no . she thought she could make it work . but i think dad just felt too betrayed . as it turns out -- i 'm not really eric 's son . samantha : i 'm sorry , what ? ridge : yeah , it was a big shock for all of us . samantha : you mean you did n't know ? ridge : i did n't know , nobody knew . not even mother . samantha : how could she not know ? ridge : well , she 'd broken up with the guy . she was dating eric . when she found out she was pregnant she just assumed that i was his . samantha : all these years ? ridge : that i think dad could 've dealt with . but mother happened to keep that little tidbit of information from him for about a year . yeah . she did n't want to destroy our relationship . samantha : did it ? ridge : no . he 's the man that raised me . taught me everything i know . about business , life , being a husband . and a father . samantha : your mom told me that this has been really hard on you , and i just could n't imagine . ridge : you do n't know the half of it . clarke : all right ! sally : adios , muchachos ! clarke : adios , amigos . sally : viva , viva , viva ! little eric : good - bye ! sally : have a wonderful life ! clarke : have a good time ! sally : bye ! we love you . clarke : you okay , sally ? sally : yes , yes . i 'm just a little teared up . they 're tears of happiness for macy . i 'm just so glad that she was able to find so much joy in all of this turmoil . clarke : well , she could 've used a little bit less turmoil at the wedding , that 's for sure . sally : yes . but i do n't think even amber would dare to pull a stunt like that again . clarke : well , you know amber and rick , they tried to take little eric home with them after the ceremony ? sally : i know , i know . but deacon 's lawyer was able to put a stop to it . clarke : they 're gon na try something like that again . sally : well , i do n't think they will . besides , if they do , it does n't matter . because we 're the ones who are in charge now . clarke : we ? sally : yes , `` we . `` as in spectra fashions . you remember spectra , the underdogs . perpetual number two to forrester number one . for years it 's been like that , but it 's all changing now . this is the beginning of a whole new life for macy and a whole new era for spectra . and boy , oh boy , bucky , has it been a long time coming . clarke : but sally ? sally : yeah ? yeah ? clarke : we 've got company . edward : tell me you did n't try to take eric without deacon 's permission . rick : you talked to deacon 's lawyer ? edward : look , i understand that you and amber are getting desperate , but we can not afford any more slip - ups . we 've got to go into court with an airtight argument . deacon may be eric 's biological father , but you can provide him with a strong , decent family in a safe , loving home . rick : why do we have to sell ourselves ? deacon is a recovering alcoholic . so is macy . her vendetta against my mother was -- was good enough for a restraining order . so what the hell is the problem now ? edward : amber . i hate to say this , rick , but i do n't think custody is an option with her in the picture . not after the scene she caused at the church today . if you want to adopt eric , i 'm afraid you 're going to have to do it alone . rick : what do you mean `` alone `` ? wait -- you 're not suggesting -- edward : the best thing you can do for your son is get a divorce . samantha : you lost your father , your wife , your wedding fell through , and your fiancée is dating another man . ridge : not exactly the reunion you were expecting , huh ? samantha : i was n't expecting anything . i just dropped by to say hello . ridge : and i bombard you with everything at once . samantha : what are old friends for ? ridge : you disappointed ? samantha : in you ? ridge : well , you used to have this bizarre notion that i was perfect . samantha : well , i was a starry - eyed child . ridge : aw , you worshiped me . samantha : well , we 've all grown up a lot since then . ridge : yeah . samantha : ridge forrester , family man . ridge : stranger than fiction , huh ? samantha : no . no , i do n't know why it should surprise me . that 's why everybody loved coming here . just being around your family , you felt connected to something . i guess it 's because you were all so connected to each other . ridge : yeah . we lost a bit of that . samantha : oh , i do n't know . your mom just ran off to help your dad with a family emergency . ridge : oh , that 's because we 're good in a crisis . that 's probably why we have so many of them . thank you . samantha : for what ? ridge : just listening . samantha : well , we had a lot of catching up to do . ridge : i did n't get a chance to ask about you . samantha : another time . ridge : where are you staying ? samantha : the hotel ! and i -- oh , i totally forgot . i was supposed to register by 6 : 00 . they 've probably gave away my reservation . ridge : why do n't you just stay here ? i mean , the house you 're working on is just around the corner here , so -- samantha : yes , but -- ridge : you could use one of the guest houses . samantha : no . no , i would n't want to intrude . ridge : oh , come on . mother would love to have the company . it 'd be like old times . you can just hang out by the pool . i can bring the kids over . maybe we can play a little touch football . i might even let you play quarterback if you 're lucky . hmm ? samantha : i 'd like that . ridge : good . i 'll have helen make all the arrangements . she 'll take care of everything . samantha : thank you . ridge : i 'm gon na go find helen . samantha : okay . ridge : okay . nice having you back , sam . samantha : nice to be back . stephanie : sally , is macy here ? i 'd like to speak with her , please . sally : you 're too late . she 's on her way to mexico . eric : which airline ? clarke : you know , something about you forresters . you 're just not very good losers . stephanie : this is n't some sort of competition , clarke . sally : tell that to the judge . eric : so rick was right . deacon 's going after custody of little eric . sally : so what if he is ? what are you gon na do about it ? stephanie : well , look , we did n't come over here to get into an argument with you . sally : i know that . i know why you came over here . you came over here to stop macy and deacon from taking my grandson with them on their honeymoon . eric : your grandson ? sally : yes , my grandson . now look , i 'm trying to be as sensitive as possible about this , because i know how important your family tree is to you forrester 's . but it 's a little unfortunate at this particular time , because it seems to be exfoliating . i mean , first there was ridge , and now with little eric . stephanie : what is your belabored point ? sally : my point is , that as of this moment , that little boy is legally my grandson . rick : a -- a divorce ? you 've got ta be kidding . edward : amber is a liability , rick . rick : she 's my wife ! edward : there 's a tape . rick : what tape ? edward : of the wedding . amber 's meltdown . they 're going to use it . rick : for what ? edward : the tape reinforces a pattern of violent behavior . rick : what -- violent behavior ? edward : yes . amber was arrested last year for vandalism and resisting arrest . rick : those charges were dropped . edward : she punched a police officer , rick . that 's on the books . along with a misdemeanor charge for drug possession , there 's a stint in rehab -- rick : she 's past all that . edward : unfortunately , amber 's past is going to follow her right into court . and deacon 's attorney is going to make the most of it . rick : there 's got ta be something we can do . edward : if you want to win , you 're going to have to separate yourself from that . rick : you mean separate myself from amber . edward : believe me , rick , i would n't even be suggesting this if there was any other option . amber : hey . what 's going on ? rick : um , edward and i were just talking about the adoption . edward : i 'll i 'll let you two discuss it . rick : okay . thanks , edward . amber : so , discuss what ? rick : well , he has an idea . amber : what is it ? rick : edward thinks we should -- amber : he thinks we should what ? deacon : oh , man . it was a hell of a day . macy : the first day of the rest of our lives . deacon : any regrets ? macy : none . eric : sally , rick and amber raised that boy as their own son . sally : but he is n't theirs . and as of this moment , his real father is my son- in - law . stephanie : oh , you think you know deacon , but you do n't . sally : i know him well enough . i know that he loves my daughter , which is a lot more than your son did . stephanie : this has n't anything to do with thorne . sally : that 's how you live with yourself , is n't it ?
