( inhales sharply ) like i must have had fun . ( chuckles ) steffy : yeah . it 's freeing , is n't it , letting the music take you ? liam : yeah . steffy : yeah . well , i 'm glad you enjoyed it , because once hope slips that ball and chain around your neck , freedom wo n't be in your vocabulary . liam : ( groans ) steffy : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) thank you . thank you so much for helping me with this . brooke : of course , honey . but just a word of caution . eric might be fine with this but -- hope : i know . stephanie might be a challenge . brooke : ( sighs ) ridge : you do understand why . hope : yeah , of course . i mean , same as you -- steffy 's her blood . ridge : that does n't make you any less my daughter . hope : oh , i know . i - i know . i really -- i was n't trying to imply anything . oh .

[ scene_break ] bill : no man is gon na tolerate his wife moving in and out of their home every time they have a disagreement . katie : ( chuckles ) this qualifies as more than just a disagreement . she saw liam all over steffy on her wedding day , and she knows that they were gon na run off together . i mean , come on , bill . she must have felt horribly betrayed . bill : well , hope needs to get over it . katie : ( scoffs ) bill : liam married her , not steffy . you 're not defending this erratic behavior , are you ? katie : yeah . i understand where she 's coming from , sure . bill : well , that must be a lonely club you 're in . katie : you ca n't see hope 's point of view at all ? bill : nope . you ca n't keep bailing on someone and expect the center to hold . hope may have gone too far this time , katie , and liam may tell her to stay gone . katie : i do n't think that 's gon na happen . bill : i would n't be too sure .

( sighs ) look , i ... i 'm not sure that i could do something like this for you , hope . i have a real problem with the fact that i - i do n't necessarily feel that you and liam should actually get married , because i think he has a lot of unresolved feelings about steffy . [ scene_break ] steffy : you should come over to forrester for a fitting . liam : fitting for what ? ( groans ) steffy : jumpsuits . liam : jumpsuits ? steffy : mm - hmm . liam : uh , i do n't -- i do n't wear those . steffy : you have n't so far . but once a prisoner is married , you 're gon na want to look fashionable . liam : ha ha , that 's -- steffy : yeah . liam : that 's cute . i walked right into that , did n't i ? steffy : too easy . but true . hope 's gon na want to settle down and hang cutesy little sayings on the wall , like `` home is where the heart is `` ... liam : yeah . steffy : or `` there 's no place like home . `` the next thing you know , she 's gon na be pregnant , and your life is going to be over . liam : dude , you are getting way ahead of yourself . steffy : you 'll see . you 'll see , unless you snap out of it in time . liam : i -- steffy : i 'm serious . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : i mean , like , what is the rush , really ? why do you have to marry hope ? why do you have to marry me or anyone ? you should have seen yourself last night . you were dancing hard - core , and you loved it . liam : i -- yeah , okay . it was fun . but it -- it was one night . it was n't a lifestyle . what am i doing here , anyway ? i got ta get to work . steffy : oh , no , you do n't . liam : oh , jeez . steffy : ( chuckles ) liam : ( sighs ) steffy : i 'm not done with you . we still got another item to check off your bucket list . liam : my bucket list ? steffy : yeah . liam : is n't that for when you know you 're gon na die ? steffy : exactly . liam : ( chuckles ) that 's funny . that -- that 's funny . steffy : true .

( chuckles ) now i am really trying to be supportive . katie : i know you are . bill : but she does n't make it easy . katie : well , it 's all gon na be resolved soon enough . brooke tells me that hope wants a fresh new start with liam , one that 's not tainted by betrayal . bill : what does that mean ? katie : she wants another wedding as soon as possible at stephanie and eric 's . bill : wait , wait . are you kidding me ? katie : ( chuckles ) bill : just -- just shoot me , all right ? just -- just -- just do it . katie : ( laughs ) bill : one right in the forehead . does this girl ever get tired of planning weddings ? katie : aw . i 'll kiss you instead . bill : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] katie : ( chuckles ) hope : you should know that i 'm not inviting steffy , so if that 's a deal breaker ... stephanie : well , thank god . she should never be at any of your weddings , and she should have never gone to italy . hope : no , she should n't have , and that was my doing . brooke : ( sighs ) hope : it was a mistake , i know , one that i will not be making again . ( sighs ) eric , stephanie , i really would be so honored if you 'd let me get married here . stephanie : all right . hope : really ? stephanie : well , i can see how much it means to you to get married here . hope : oh ! brooke : ( sighs ) stephanie : do you have any objections ? speak up now . eric : ( chuckles ) absolutely not . i 'd be delighted . hope : oh , my gosh . eric : good . hope : thank you so much . oh , thank you . thank you . oh , my gosh . ( sighs ) ha ! ridge : see , that was n't so hard , was it ? hope : no . eric : there 's nothing to worry about . stephanie 's a big softie . you know that . stephanie : oh , yeah . believe that at your own peril . hope : thank you . thank you so -- this is just -- this is the best . it is . i 'm -- i 'm gon na call liam right now . thank you . stephanie : ( sighs ) brooke : that was very nice . eric : when are we doing this ? stephanie : what ? oh . hope : ( sighs ) liam : wearing a muumuu , and i think that 's not appropriate club attire .

( ring ) liam : hey . hope : they said yes . liam : uh ... oh ! stephanie agreed ? hope : yes . it -- it took some convincing , but we are getting married at the forrester home . liam : that 's fantastic . i - i know how much that means to you . hope : ( sighs ) maybe this is what we 've be missing all along -- grounding our marriage in family and tradition . liam : yeah . totally . i -- and if you 're happy , i 'm happy . but , uh ... ( inhales sharply ) i mean , while you 're waiting it out , you could be at home with me . hope : it wo n't be long . i promise . liam : okay . no , i get it . i ... yeah , i get it . hope : well , i should go , because we 've got a lot of planning to do . i love you . liam : love you .

( sighs ) hope 's planning another glorious wedding to launch your perfect life . that will be the last we see of liam . liam : ( scoffs ) god . wow . exaggerate much ? steffy : no . i ... ( sighs ) i kidnapped you so you could ... have fun and have a few last crazy experiences , because once you get married , that is never gon na happen again . [ scene_break ] katie : i do n't blame hope for wanting a do - over on her wedding . i mean , powerful forces were at work . first , deacon shows up out of nowhere . i guess when the devil shows up at your door , the day can only go downhill from there . i mean , what do you suppose inspired him , anyway ? all these years , not a word , no attempt to get to know his daughter . and then suddenly , there he is . it could n't have been a coincidence . bill : i could hunt him down and interrogate him for you . katie : that might not be such a bad idea . bill : you know what ? i do n't give a damn about deacon sharpe or where he shows up , because i have better things to think about ... katie : mm . bill : like my beautiful wife blossoming before my eyes . katie : you 've got that look . bill : see how you affect me , hmm ? katie : ( chuckles ) i 've always heard that men get all hands - off when their wife gets pregnant , but not you -- contrary in every way . bill : i have n't heard you complaining . katie : mama likes it . bill : yeah ? well , come to papa . katie : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] eric : you understand , of course , that stephanie 's initial reluctance to have the ceremony here is no -- no slam against you . hope : no , i know . i know . i mean , naturally , she 'd want to side with her granddaughter . brooke : hmm . eric : so , uh , what kind of ceremony are we talking about here ? hope : uh , very , very small , elegant , traditional . eric : well , it 's your day . it 's your night . brooke : yeah . eric : whatever you want . hope : ( giggles ) oh , gosh . what -- what i want is to finally be mrs. liam spencer for real ... ( sighs ) and forever . brooke : a big `` yes `` to that . eric : ( chuckles ) stephanie : ( whispering ) how many more failed attempts do we have to have at weddings before everyone is willing to admit liam and hope are not meant to be a couple ? ridge : way to show support , mother . stephanie : oh , stop it . i love hope . she 's a wonderful girl . otherwise , i would n't have agreed to let them have the ceremony here . but i ca n't support , in good faith , that marriage . i know . i can see that liam is still very conflicted about steffy , so ... why ca n't you see that ? ridge : well , i 'm kind of caught in the middle , in case you have n't noticed . liam may love steffy , but he loves hope as well . now if she 's gon na be his choice , who am i to oppose that ? it 's not like i have a lot of room to be self - righteous . stephanie : ( sighs ) i do n't know how wise this is . everyone 's always rallying to hope 's side . it 's very apparent to me and to a lot of other people that liam and steffy love each other .

( sighs ) i mean , it 's partly why i - i - i do n't want her to come . i - i - it should n't be about tearing people apart . it should be about bringing the family together . but i mean , do you think i 'm wrong to exclude her ? brooke : no ! absolutely not . hope : okay . okay . brooke : not after what she did in italy . i do n't even know why she 'd want to be here anyway , unless she 's a closet masochist . hope : i do n't want to talk about steffy . brooke : ( clears throat ) okay . hope : i just -- i want to focus on the future ...

[ chuckles ] that looks painful . ricardo montemayor . ricardo : wyatt , i can only imagine how surprised you are . i am , too . my heart was never fuller than when i was caretaker of the diamond . it was only out of my reach once when i loaned it to you . you have a shared passion and reverence for the ... quintessence of this gem . i am at her mercy , as you will be , the mother of all diamonds . she 's yours . [ scene_break ] aly : that diamond is a curse . i just do n't see the magic in it . oliver : it 's brought a lot of recognition to forrester . charlie : and wyatt , too . and do n't think he does n't know it . aly : do n't get me wrong . it 's an exquisite diamond . oliver : you just hate that it 's drawn hope and wyatt together . aly : more than anything . pam : whether we like it or not , it looks like hope has moved on . so i guess liam 's got to move on , too . [ scene_break ] ivy : so , of all the bridges in paris to choose from , you have to choose the most romantic one . liam : yeah , i 'm a glutton for punishment , i guess . ivy : you saved my life before , liam . liam : oh , stop . ivy : and your chivalry may have cost you your future . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . liam : do n't you dare apologize to me , ivy . not one bit of this was your fault . ivy : i 'm not gon na forget what you did for me . i wish there was a way to thank you , that 's all . liam : you do n't -- you do n't have to thank me . ivy : well , i -- thanks . liam : [ chuckles ] ivy : [ chuckles ] | liam contemplates what just happened . he laments to ivy that he was there , late , but there yet hope married wyatt . he is not sure how that happened . he does n't understand but he should have been smarter and known . this is all on him . ivy says he has every reason to be upset at hope and wyatt but it is n't his fault . he says he should be hope 's husband , not wyatt . he had the most phenomenal girl right there but lost her .maybe because of the diamond . a mexican police lieutenant knocks on the warehouse door and speaks with deacon . he says he is there to talk to wyatt fuller about the death of ricardo . deacon invites him in and asks a few questions of why a death would be investigated . the lieutenant says ricardo was poisoned by arsenic that is associated with certain gemstones . ricardo was a seasoned gemologist so it 's highly doubtful he accidentally poisoned himself . they think someone else was involved . he admits that neither wyatt nor quinn is known to have been in mexico at the time . but wyatt did receive the diamond so deacon can surely see why they need to cover all bases . he will be back to see wyatt later . deacon thoroughly searches the loft and finally uncovers the laptop and the video ricardo made for wyatt when he left him the diamond . viola , deacon thinks he has something that it would be on quinn 's computer . |
[ birds chirping ] thomas : steffy would never let that happen . ivy : i do n't really think she has a choice , thomas . thomas : ivy , this is beginning to sound a lot like blackmail . ivy : you 've seen the video . you 've seen that it 's not an accident . it was murder . thomas : aly was my cousin , too , all right ? her death was a tragedy . but murder ? that 's going too far . ivy : well , i doubt the police will see it that way . thomas : you would n't go to the cops . ivy : why should i cover for steffy ? hmm ? she took away someone 's life . she took away aly 's life . she took her away from her father , from her friends . she died in vain , and what ? i 'm just supposed to stay quiet ? no . i want something in return . i want to be right there next to maya as the new face of forrester . ridge : so , i have the feeling you did n't hear anything i said . where did you go ? caroline : oh . i 'm so sorry . yes . no . i heard , uh ... [ chuckling ] i heard everything you said . and i agree . i think , uh , adding a second face to forrester is a great idea . and maya did mention that she wanted to focus on her marriage for a little bit , so ... ridge : honeymoon should be long enough for that . caroline : oh . was it for you ? ridge : which time ? ah ! all i remember is my kids wanting me to come home . caroline : oh , that 's sweet . they miss their daddy ? [ door opens ] steffy : hi . where is everyone ? liam : actually , you know what ? i 'm kind of glad we have a minute . um ... as you know , we 've gotten a lot of press coverage about ... aly 's death . guys , i think it 's time we address that as a company . katie : i like it . it 's really respectful . bill : thanks . i 'm glad you do . you see , even i would not exploit the death of a young woman . katie : i know . [ sighs ] so awful . just a horrible , horrible accident . bill : yeah , it is . and i can tell you for a fact that other , more ... nefarious news outlets are going to dig for details . katie : sure , they 've only been given bits and pieces . bill : a forrester is dead . that 's news . steffy being there when it happened -- bigger news . thomas : you know , if you really wanted justice for aly , you would n't be making demands . ivy : you would n't understand , but this is for her . [ door opens ] thomas : wyatt , do you mind ? we 're -- we 're kind of in the middle of something . ivy : no , actually , it 's fine , because he 's seen the video , as well . thomas : [ chuckles ] you know what ? i had a feeling that you were behind this . wyatt : behind what ? let 's be clear here . this is not a witch hunt . this whole situation has been tragic for everyone , and despite her instincts , ivy has kept quiet and has not turned steffy in . so i agree . i think she deserves a little compensation for that . bill : steffy could have been the one in that body bag . katie : well , i knew aly had issues with steffy . i just did n't realize they were that serious . bill : issues ? that girl was dealing with some serious demons . katie : i just think it 's so unfortunate that she did n't get the help that she needed . i mean , therapy or medication -- something could have helped . bill : well , thorne must have taken her to the very best shrinks in paris . katie : [ sighs ] i guess liam says that steffy 's handling things pretty well , all things considered . bill : there 's nothing steffy could have done differently to prevent aly 's death . and the fact is she should feel grateful to be alive . carter : aly 's death is on the cover of every magazine , newspaper -- you name it , they 're running it , including your father . ridge : the man never misses an opportunity , does he ? carter : it 's actually not a bad article . but if anyone commits libel , i 'm filing a lawsuit . ridge : thank you . we got a few things we got to talk about . we got to talk about image and we got to talk about marketing . maya 's done a great job as lead model at forrester and the face of forrester , and the numbers reflect that , so i want to add another face to our new print campaign , and we talked about you being president and a model as well , but i think it 's time for some familiarity . i think it 's time for you to step up . steffy : well , if there 's any time to build on the brand , this is it . i 'd be honored , and i 'm very happy . ridge : all right . settled . ivy : actually , i have another hat i 'd like to throw into the ring . what about me ? ivy : look , i 'm sure steffy would do a great job . i mean , i know you would . but why not think outside the box ? why not give me a shot ? look , i get it . she 's your daughter , and you 're also the president of the company , so it makes sense . ridge : i did n't ask steffy 'cause she 's my daughter . i asked her because she 's the most qualified . caroline : i mean , we already have photo shoots lined up . the campaign is ready to go . ivy : yeah , well , i 'm ready , too . you know , i could start today . ridge : ivy , we need a seasoned spokesmodel , someone on par with maya . nothing against you . liam : listen , nobody is saying that you would n't make a great choice . in fact , i - i think we all know you would be . but -- but the thing is , right now , time is of the essence and we need somebody with a lot of experience . liam : if i may ... look , i - i realize steffy 's got the experience , but i agree . i think you should strongly consider ivy instead . katie : i knew aly had issues with steffy . i just did n't realize how serious they were . bill : no one could have predicted that aly would go off the rails like she did . katie : do you think she just snapped ? or did she have it all planned out ? bill : well , given the fact they found pictures of steffy and maya in her closet with nails between their eyeballs , i would say that indicates years of pent - up aggression . katie : yeah , but trying to run down steffy with her car , i mean , without any provocation -- it 's so extreme . bill : aly wanted revenge for her mother 's death and , i guess , for steffy being ... an evolved , liberated woman . katie : that 's one way of describing steffy . i can think of a few others . bill : you know who i think maybe has a little blood on their hands ? katie : who ? bill : ivy . katie : ivy ? why ? bill : because ivy should have discouraged her from being so protective -- i - i should say obsessive -- about liam and steffy . katie : steffy stole ivy 's boyfriend away from her . i 'm sure , in aly 's mind , she was just being loyal . bill : well , either way , it is a huge loss for the forrester family . and from what i understand , steffy is dealing with it as well as can be expected . but i think that , um , it 's probably a lot more difficult for her than we realize . liam : look , steffy 's got a lot on her plate -- more than any of us can even imagine . she 's back to l.a. she 's got a job as president now , and that just takes up a huge chunk of time and energy . steffy : i can manage . thank you . ridge : ivy , you got your own career . you 're a jewelry designer . you 're not a model , really , right ? ivy : look , i - i know that i do n't have as much time in front of the camera as steffy does , but ... i mean , come on . let 's not forget how i stepped up in that shoot in amsterdam . i mean , that was a huge success . carter : yeah , ivy , you did a phenomenal job , but you have to give hope credit for that , too . liam : but ivy 's got more to offer than just being a designer . she 's beautiful , poised , upscale . this is everything the forrester name embodies . ridge : [ sighs ] jumping into a shoot 's very different than representing a whole line . you know that , right ? liam : plus we 've used steffy before . i mean , experience is one thing , yes , but -- but our clients really want consistency , and they know steffy 's face . carter : and she has a huge fan base . liam : all the more reason to use ivy . she 's fresh , she 's new , and i - i hate to bring this up , but it 's something that we do need to consider in all this -- the confrontation the other night -- that was between aly and steffy . and i do n't know about you guys , but from a p.r . standpoint , i just think it 's -- it 's not wise to put steffy in the spotlight until it all sorts itself out . ridge : it has sorted itself out . aly attacked steffy . she fell , hit her head , and she died . it was a tragic accident . ivy : no , i think wyatt has a point . we do n't know exactly what 's gon na come of this . some of these investigations can take months , and we do n't know what other information could emerge . look , forrester could end up looking bad -- really bad -- unless we do what 's right . steffy : that 's enough . that 's enough . how dare you ? thomas : dad , dad , i have something to say , okay ? i think they may have a point . maybe we should go with ivy . steffy : are you serious , thomas ? thomas : just hear me out . zende : should we leave ? nicole : yeah , we can go if -- carter : you 're fine . ridge : you want ivy representing this line ? thomas : might not be a bad idea keeping her working behind the scenes for the time . liam : what -- why ? what does that accomplish ? thomas : just for the time being , okay , until things blow over . liam : okay , but , i mean , i can understand if steffy had done something wrong or if she was hiding something , but that 's not the case here . caroline : no , no , no , no , no . no one 's saying that . everyone knows that aly 's death was accidental . carter : steffy 's not accused of any crimes . no charges have been filed . thomas : and i 'm not saying she will be . ridge : what are you saying ? thomas : look -- ridge : you 're making her sound like a criminal . thomas : people are talking , okay ? they 're coming up with their own theories about what might have happened that night . liam : what ? where ? on blogs ? on social media ? that 's -- that 's gon na happen no matter what the story is . thomas : we have to be smart and respectful . okay , thorne 's hurting . he 's still processing his daughter 's death . yeah , aly 's followers are devastated . you know , and the media 's still hungry for more gossip . it might not be a bad idea to keep steff away from all the attention . liam : okay , thomas , listen . if -- if we hide steffy , what message do you think that sends ? caroline : he 's right . it may just add fuel to the fire . liam : exactly . people are just gon na get more and more suspicious , and for what ? i mean , nobody 's even broken the law . nobody 's even come close . thomas : i want to keep this as uncomplicated as possible , keep steffy safe from scrutiny . look , you 've already got a full schedule running the company with dad . ivy 's modeled before . like she said , she came through in amsterdam . i think ivy 's our safest bet right now . adding her to the face of forrester is the -- is the best decision for all of us . steffy : wow . wyatt : at least consider it , ridge . i think that 'd be the wise thing to do . ridge : thank you for your input . i 'll think about it . steffy : you ca n't be serious . ridge : meeting adjourned . steffy : i need to talk to you right now . [ door closes ] katie : you know , compared to forrester , it 's pretty calm around here . i mean , no drama , no arguments , no secrets . bill : there are no secrets over there anymore , either . forrester 's an open book ... thanks to the big dog . katie : are you still patting yourself on the back for making maya a household name ? bill : absolutely . i mean , come on . you got to admit . was what i did so bad ? katie : yes ! it was , and i 'm still a little bit mad at you . bill : how can you be mad at this face ? katie : aww , you 're right . you 're very lucky you have such a handsome face . bill : [ chuckles ] hey . you know , i 've been , uh , you know , really good lately . katie : i know . it 's almost eerie . makes me wonder what you 've done . i guess it -- it has been pretty calm around here , knock on wood . bill : yeah . we 're on a roll . i mean , we 're good . kids are good . katie : mm - hmm . [ chuckles ] bill : it 's all good . katie : should i lock the door ? bill : i already did . katie : [ laughs ] ivy : thank you . wyatt : yeah . ivy : [ chuckles ] mm . wyatt : hmm ? ivy : thank you for jumping in back there . wyatt : yeah . you ready to be on a bunch of billboards all over the world ? ivy : well , ridge still has to make his decision first . wyatt : right , but there were a lot of valid points made in there , from thomas , too . and if our instincts are right , if thomas knows what 's good for steffy and the company , he 's gon na convince ridge to choose you . ivy : god , if only everyone knew the real reason why . wyatt : i know , but thomas was looking out for his sister . ivy : and liam sure was quick to jump to steffy 's defense . wyatt : yeah . as if it was n't annoyingly clear before -- those two are officially attached at the hip . ivy : well , at least we know where liam 's loyalties lie , i guess . wyatt : i wonder if that would change if he saw the video , you know ? ivy : thomas has n't told steffy yet . she has no clue about the footage . wyatt : right . ivy : yeah , i bet she 's wondering while he stood up against her in that meeting , too . wyatt : yeah , i 'm sure she 's freaking out right now . i 'm surprised we ca n't hear her screaming from all the way up here . steffy : what the hell was that ? thomas : steff , calm down . steffy : no , thomas , you are supposed to be on my side . i am your sister . why are you promoting ivy ? thomas : i did it for you . steffy : what ? ridge : oh , boy . what a meeting , huh ? caroline : i do n't know how you did n't just completely lose it . ridge : almost did . caroline : i thought that thomas and steffy were getting along . ridge : yeah , i thought they were , too . caroline : well , if there were n't issues before , there 's definitely gon na be some now , 'cause steffy was so upset . ridge : so , thomas is backing wyatt and ivy ? when did that happen ? caroline : i do n't know . but i think ... i think , if i 'm being honest , you did rip up his designs , and then you gave steffy the presidency , and now you 're offering her a modeling contract . i mean , maybe he just feels slighted . ridge : they 've always been competitive . there 's sibling rivalry . it happens all the time . and i just -- him not endorsing steffy ... [ sighs ] i do n't know . it 's just something 's happening that i 'm not aware of . caroline : yeah , but , you know , wyatt does have a point . he does . there is this media frenzy over aly 's death . but , i have to tell you , it does n't take a genius to figure out why he 's pro - ivy . ridge : 'cause they 're hooking up . caroline : right ? it 's kind of obvious . ridge : it 's written all over their foreheads . caroline : all over . ridge : all over them . yeah . caroline : so , who you gon na choose ? is ivy gon na be the new face of forrester ? wyatt : look , why should n't you be representing the company , ivy ? i mean , you 're more than qualified . you 're a forrester . i mean , you deserve the title just as much as steffy . ivy : i mean , it 'd just be such a privilege . wyatt : yeah , and not only that , it would make aly happier , seeing you , you know , succeed . ivy : and knock steffy down a peg or two . wyatt : i know . but there 's no more waiting on the sideline , okay ? ivy : mm - hmm . wyatt : you have way too much to offer here . ivy : so do you . wyatt : oh , i know . i know that . my brother does n't know anything about fashion , and i got way more p.r . experience . ivy : exactly . that 's what i 'm saying . you know this company inside out , back to front . wyatt : yeah . liam does n't know anything . dad made him vp of spencer and vp of forrester . there 's -- there 's got to be something illegal there . ivy : that is just like liam . wyatt : what ? ivy : well , he -- he ca n't make up his mind , so he keeps his two options just there for as long as he possibly can . wyatt : right . right . you know what ? he can have steffy , and he can have the titles . okay ? 'cause we 're not gon na let anyone stop us . not anymore . this is our time to shine now . steffy : you did it for me ? thomas : yes . steffy : oh , thomas , you know how i feel about ivy . all the things that she 's been saying about me . and now you 're backing her ? i 'm thinking about firing her , not making her the face of forrester . thomas : there is a reason i said what i did . steffy : oh , why ? why ? because you -- you think she 's talented ? so is quinn . no , i - i 'm not allowing this to happen . thomas : you may not have a choice . steffy : of course i have a choice . i 'm president of this company . and dad is ceo , and we just put him on the spot in that meeting . but do n't worry , i will talk to him , because he 's -- he 's loyal to me . unlike you are . thomas : i am loyal to you , steff . steffy : oh , clearly . thomas : you and i made a promise , remember ? to look out for each other , to have each other 's backs no matter what ? steffy : yeah , you did a really good job of holding up your end of the bargain . thomas : okay , you listen to me , steff . you have no idea how dangerous this situation really is . steffy : what situation ? thomas : you and aly . what happened that night . steffy : you told me not to tell anyone . thomas : and you ca n't . steffy : okay , i do n't care if ivy is saying bad things about me . if that 's why you 're siding with her , you do n't have to do that . it 's not necessary . thomas : oh , yes , i do . steffy : i was defending myself . oh , my god . if i did n't do anything , aly would have killed me . thomas : i know that , steff . i know . steffy : you know what , no matter what ivy says , it 's her word against mine . thomas : it 's not that simple . steffy : what are you talking about ? what are you talking about ? thomas : i did n't want to tell you this . i was trying to protect you . steffy : protect me from who ? ivy ? thomas : yes . she has a video . steffy : a video of -- of what ? thomas : you and aly on the side of the road that night . she 's implying that ... steffy : implying what ? thomas : that it was murder . | thomas says this is beginning to sound a lot like blackmail . aly 's death was tragic but murder is carrying it too far . ivy says steffy took away a life and she is supposed to be quiet no , she wants something in return .right there next to maya as the new face of fc . with ridge and caroline together , liam and steffy walk in and liam says they are getting a lot of press about aly 's accident and he thinks they need to address that . katie and bill discuss the same thing , the news of aly 's death and how it is big news and needs to be handled in the magazine . thomas tells ivy if she really wanted justice for aly she would not be making these demands . wyatt tells thomas that he too thinks ivy needs some compensation , this is not a witch hunt . ridge tells steffy that he thinks it is time to step up . ivy walks in and says she would like to put her name in the hat . ridge says he picked his daughter and liam chimes in that she has the experience . bill explains to katie that the board had been found in aly 's bedroom with nails between steffy 's eyeballs , just a little aggression there . this is a huge loss for the forrester family but especially on steffy for how it went down . she is handling it as best she can . wyatt repeats that ivy is more than just a jeweler , she is beautiful and can do this . she is fresh and new and they need to consider this since the confrontation was between steffy and aly . |
liam : how are you even hesitating ? you know this is the right thing to do . steffy : i 'm still trying to wrap my head around what bill did . liam : what my dad did is what my dad always does , which is whatever it takes to get his way . he told your brother that the mother of his child is dying when she 's not . that is ... beyond cruel . and we ca n't let him do that . you agree with that . steffy : no . bill : were you or were you not the one who came to me and asked for my help ? caroline : i did n't think that you were gon na go this extreme . bill : what you call extreme i call effective . caroline : i do n't want to be with thomas this way . not because of some horrible lie . i - i flew here from new york because i ca n't do this anymore . it should have been thomas ' decision , and it was n't , so this whole charade is gon na end ! today .

[ cell phone chimes ] eric : it 's quinn . sheila 's there . charlie : okay , let 's go . eric : wait . i 'll go , i 'll go . thank you . charlie : n -- quinn : i just texted eric , and i told him that you 're here . sheila : good . i - i told him i had his watch and that i would drop it off for him . quinn : well , he 's at forrester . you should have dropped it off there with security . sheila : i 'm sorry . i just assumed that he wanted me -- quinn : well , you assumed wrong . and you should n't even be in this house . eric still has a restraining order against you . sheila : [ scoffs ] you gon na call lieutenant baker ? are you really that afraid of me ? quinn : no , no , no . see , i 'm not afraid of you or your intimidation tactics . they may work on other people , but they do n't work on me . so why do n't you leave his watch and get out ? i never want to see you again . sheila : yeah , well , you know , maybe you do n't . but eric might feel differently . quinn : you listen to me , sheila . eric and i are back together , and we 're happier than ever . your pathetic attempt at trying to get back with my husband did n't work . sheila : [ chuckles ] my , my , my . somebody 's still very angry at me for telling her husband the truth about her and his son , something she should have done on her own ! it really makes me question your character . quinn : really ? seriously ? you have the audacity to question my character ? sheila : i not only question it . it 's clearer than ever now that you 're never gon na be good enough for eric . your portrait , it does n't even deserve to be hanging on that wall . quinn : and whose does , sheila ? yours ? liam : i got to ask one more time . is sally really that bad ? steffy : liam , you always root for the underdog . sally is a con artist . liam : you do n't think maybe that 's changed since thomas has been there ? steffy : that 's what makes me so angry . sally used thomas . spectra would have been rubble if it were n't for thomas . it was his talent and his money that kept spectra afloat , and now that he 's gone , his relationship with her is over , and spectra will tank . and that is a good thing for him and his family . so let 's just be patient and see if the plan works . a little boy 's future depends on it . liam : okay . all right . i mean , if you feel -- if you feel that strongly about it , i 'll keep my mouth shut . for now . bill : i 'll have my beautiful building . douglas will have his father . and you 'll have the man that you love . caroline : and when thomas realizes that you 've built your building where spectra sits ? bill : thomas knows i 've been after that property . he wo n't be suspicious . and besides , by then the two of you will be stuck back together like glue , and sally will be out of the picture . everything will be as it should be . now get back to new york , caroline . your life is there . with your son and his father . caroline : and your life is here , doing what you do best -- building monuments to yourself and your empire . [ door closes ] quinn : you think your portrait should be up there , do n't you ? sheila : yours certainly should n't be after what you did with eric 's son . quinn : [ scoffs ] sheila : he deserves so much better than you . quinn : you know what ? i am not gon na stand here and listen to you insult me in my own home . get out . now . leave his watch on the table . i 'll make sure he gets it . you know what else , sheila ? you have done enough damage to eric and his family . do n't ever come back to this house again . bitch . sheila : what did you call me ? quinn : i believe i called you a bitch , bitch . [ grunts ] wh -- aah ! oh ! sheila : do n't you ever , ever call me that ! quinn : come on . come on ! [ vase shatters ] quinn : [ chuckles ] aah ! aah !

katie : we 're still on for tonight , right ? thorne : yeah . your place ? katie : yup . for a very special evening . thorne : oh , you 're sounding very mysterious . what are you up to , katie ? katie : well , i just think that we need , you know , an evening like this . we 're long overdue . just a nice dinner , romantic atmosphere . you know , plenty of time for ... whatever . thorne : so the sitter 's taking will ? katie : no , no . uh ... bill is going to take will . i called him , and it 's about time that he stepped up as a father again . [ knock on door ] oh ! that 's him . i 'll see you later . bye . hey . bill : hey . katie : come on in . thanks for coming . bill : sure . got your text . what 's so important ? katie : um , i got a date . bill : congratulations . what does that have to do with me ? katie : you are gon na take will . bill : i 'm going to take will ? katie : mm - hmm . you were actually supposed to have him for the last three days . [ sighs ] bill , you have n't seen him in so long . you 're his father , and he misses you . you need to reconnect with your son . after spending months obsessing over your daughter - in - law . steffy : let 's get started , okay ? i have a play date with my daughter after this . quinn : how 's amelia doing ? maya : who 's amelia ? brooke : kelly 's nanny . steffy : she 's wonderful . kelly adores her . thorne : sorry . did n't realize there was a meeting going on . i just need to ... steffy : do you know where katie is ? we 're about to get started . thorne : yeah , i just spoke with her . uh , she 's with will . i do n't think she 's gon na make it in today . steffy : why do n't you take her place instead ? thorne : oh , that 's okay . steffy : i insist . thorne : okay . i 'll just sit here . brooke : what 's this all about , steffy ? steffy : i asked you here because i want to start a new initiative at the company . to help empower women . thorne : well , looking around , i think we 've done a -- a pretty good job in that regard . steffy : we have . but this is more . i want forrester creations to set a standard . to provide a leadership role that other companies would like to follow . re - launching hope for the future was a great start . got to give you two props . hope , your line inspired women everywhere . but there 's still so much we need to do . hope : uh , what are you thinking ? steffy : we need to step up our game . and now that the company is solely owned by the family again -- maya : i still do n't know how you did that . bill coveted that 12.5 % . for him to give that up ... steffy : well ... brooke : the point is that we 're all very grateful to steffy . we finally have forrester back . and we 're finally free of bill . bill : do you really want to go there , katie ? i mean , you want me to start weighing in on your personal business ? katie : oh , please . when are you not doing that ? bill : okay . fine . but only when i felt you were screwing up your life . katie : well , i can return the favor , then . because you seem to be doing a pretty good job of screwing up your own life . and liam 's life . steffy 's . their family . their marriage . pretty much burnt everything to the ground . was she worth it ? bill : why are we talking about this ? katie : i 've just been trying to understand how this powerful man , who says he 's always in control , can be held hostage . bill : `` hostage `` ? katie : yeah . to your own obsession . your relationship with liam is never gon na be the same . are you done hurting your family ? are you done hurting liam ? and what about the lies and the manipulations ? you done with that ? bill : well , obviously you do n't think so . katie : i just know that you like to win . and this time , you lost . big . apparently you even lost your shares of forrester creations . bill : i did n't lose them . i gave them to steffy . katie : why ? are you feeling guilty about turning her life upside down ? well , i , for one , am happy that the shares are back in forrester 's hands . and i 'm happy that this whole mess with steffy is over . and you can focus on your little boy , who misses you . you can start fixing that tonight , actually . bill : while you 're on your date ? katie : careful . you might start sounding jealous . thorne : well , now i see why you invited katie to this meeting and not me . so i should probably get going . steffy : oh , no , no , no . no way . sit . i want to bounce some ideas off of you , get your perspective . thorne : that 's why i 'm trying to leave . steffy : a male perspective . maya : steffy , obviously women 's empowerment is important and wonderful , but -- [ sighs ] quinn : well , it 's complicated . especially when the barriers that prevent women 's empowerment go beyond the individual , and they go into institutions and society at large . i remember , when i was running my own company , that i had firsthand experience in the inequalities . in -- in the double standards , and feeling like your voice is n't being heard . steffy : yes . and i know we can inspire to do better for women everywhere . leading by example . we 're very fortunate that forrester is way ahead of a lot of other companies in regards to pay and giving women opportunities . but there 's so much that needs to be done . some of which you 'll see highlighted in the packets that i gave you . we need to keep moving forward . propel our efforts at forrester creations into a wave of advocacy . i know it sounds a little lofty , but you get where i 'm coming from , right ? bill : you know , i really do n't think of you as the kind of woman to kick a man when he 's down , katie . katie : well , i think you brought this all on yourself . bill : i suppose i did . there . is that what you wanted to hear ? katie : hmm . what would i like to hear ? well , i 'd love to hear that you 've learned from this , and that it has changed you in a fundamental way . bill : would you believe me if i told you it had ? katie : honestly ? i do n't know . i do n't know if you 're capable of that kind of change . it makes me sad to say that . and i hope i 'm wrong , for our son 's sake , because i want you to be a good father to him , and be present in his life . to be a good role model , or at least a better role model than what you 've been to liam and wyatt . bill : i asked liam for his forgiveness . katie : and how did that go ? bill : he was n't ready to hear me . but i wanted to look him in the eye and admit that i 'd lost my way . i 'm still struggling to understand how that happened . katie : you ca n't expect me to believe that you do n't understand how this happened . steffy was married to liam and pregnant with his child . how did you think this was gon na turn out ? bill : [ sighs ] i loved her . katie : well , a lot of people have paid the price for what you 've done . your son has paid the price . and he misses you , and he needs you . so do n't you think that you should stop focusing on steffy and start focusing on the boy who needs his father ? maya : i like what i 'm hearing . quinn : me , too . thorne : yeah . i say go for it . you know , just do n't forget about our men 's line or our male clientele . 'cause both of them are important to the company . steffy : absolutely . all of our customers are important . but , of course , most of them are women . and since they are , we need to start reaching out to them as we lead this company into the future . starting today . look around this table at this powerhouse of women . maya . you 've overcome so much adversity with your strength , grace , and dignity . as one of the forrester faces , you 've inspired a generation to live as their true , authentic self . hope . i know we said it before . but you 've made a wonderful contribution with hope for the future . and you 're making great strides both here and for young women everywhere . quinn . prior to being here , you started your jewelry company while raising a child all on your own . then you had wonderful success here by creating a whole new arm for the forrester empire . and then there 's katie , even though she 's not here . she was spencer 's ceo . and now forrester 's head of marketing . she 's revamped our campaigns , making them more global , targeted towards social media . and let 's not forget brooke . between the belief formula , the men 's line , and your modeling success , your talent and tenacity has gotten you where you are today . you are all strong , accomplished women . and i want to put you more front and center . so i 'm gon na have katie draw up a pr plan . more interviews . blogs . podcasts . not that we 're throwing forrester men under the bus . thorne : well , that 's nice to hear . steffy : we want to empower . but we ca n't do that if we 're not inclusive . we all have a voice . this is about balance and equality . we share a lot of the same goals . take daycare , for instance . maya : it 's a big deal for working parents . steffy : exactly . and it 's something that i want to address . forrester was way ahead of its time when we opened its first daycare . but i want to expand it . make it state - of - the - art . offer early - education programs . hope : i mean , that sounds great . steffy : thanks . i want kelly here . seeing her mom hard at work . i want all of us to be positive role models for my child . and your children . all while they thrive , play , and learn . as a new mom , i 'm mindful of that now . the next generation . maya : well , you have my support . quinn : i think we 're all behind you . brooke : when stephanie co - founded this company , she was a pioneer in her own right . she faced a lot of opposition , but she pushed forward anyway , and she led by example . and now you , her namesake , you 're continuing her legacy . and she would be so proud . bill : you never let me get away with anything , do you ? katie : no . never have . never will . especially when it comes to our son . i have pretty much been raising will all by myself . you 've been totally mia . bill : but he 's doing fine , right ? katie : sure . he 's doing fine . yeah , i 'm -- i 'm there when he wakes up in the middle of the night when he has a nightmare , or to take him to school or help him with his homework or shuttle him around to activities . he has a mom . he needs a father . bill : i was at his last soccer game . katie : that was months ago , bill , months ! bill : no , it wasn't . that was just a f -- you 're right . you 're right . i should have been paying more attention . katie : will needs to be your priority . this whole thing with steffy , pursuing her , it has cost you so much . do n't you see that ? it 's cost you your relationship with wyatt , with liam . do n't let it cost you your relationship with will . bill , listen to me . he is growing and changing so much every day , and you are missing it . i -- [ sighs ] i get it . you do n't want to listen to anyone . you do n't want anyone giving you any advice . but if i were still your wife -- bill : if you were still my wife ... katie : do n't even go there . because that is never happening again . bill : [ chuckles ] steffy : thanks , amelia . i 'll be home within the hour . all right . bye - bye . hope : oh . do n't let me hold you up . i just , um ... wanted to tell you how much i respect you for what you 're doing with this initiative . i think it 's -- i think it 's really gon na make an impact . steffy : thanks . and i meant what i said . you 're killing it with hope for the future . so , how are you doing ? you getting any morning sickness ? hope : oh , yes . although they should call it all - day sickness for me . steffy : [ laughs ] yeah . try peppermint tea . it really worked for me . hope : thanks . i will . steffy : hope . i know this is n't easy for either of us . but i 'm really trying . hope : i 'm really trying , too . for all of us . and especially for our little ones . bill : so , what do you want me to do , keep will for a couple hours ? katie : no . all night . bill : all night ? oh , katie , come on . it 's too soon . he 's not -- katie : it 's not too soon . it 's not . bill : [ sighs ] okay . [ chuckles ] all right . fine . i 'll -- i 'll keep him overnight so you can , uh , have your , uh , your date with this new -- new guy of yours . katie : thank you . bill : who is he , anyway ? katie : well -- [ knock on door ] oh ! um ... hang on just a second and you 'll -- you 'll get to meet him . bill : mm - hmm . katie : hey . how are you ? thorne : bill . bill : you got to be kidding me . that is what you 're dating ? katie : yep . this is what i 'm dating . bill : wow . katie : [ laughs ] i 'm gon na run upstairs and grab will . um , you guys play nice while i 'm gone . thorne : okay . bill : [ sighs ] thorne : so , bill ... [ sighs ] by the way , thank you for , uh , handing over the shares to steffy . bill : what are you doing , forrester ? you know that katie is my son 's mother . thorne : yeah , i 'm aware of that . also of the fact that you and katie are divorced , so you do n't really get a say - so in her life anymore . bill : yeah , well , it 's a funny thing about me , but i tend to -- tend to stretch the say - so boundaries . katie is my son 's mother . and whether we are married or not , we 're a family . and we will raise our kid , and i will always look out for both of them . thorne : it 's just that , you see , katie and i have been seeing each other for a while . so , from speaking to her and being here at the house , i know that you 've been absent in will 's life . in a big way . then , of course , there 's the awful way you 've been treating your grown sons . you know , you always seem to hurt the people you say you love and want to look out for . how do you do that ? bill : my family is my business , not yours . and you better hope for your sake you 're not stupid enough to try and fill will or katie 's head with any of this bs . thorne : hey , i would never put you down to your son . okay ? he 's just a kid . but i will always be honest with katie , especially when it comes to you . one thing i know for sure , bill , is that you are not a good example of a father . bill : let me tell you what you do n't know . we come from two different worlds . you grew up with an entitled silver spoon in your mouth . so the last thing you want to do is try and fly in my air space . thorne : i 've lived my life with morals and values , which is a lot like someone else we both know . liam . i think he turned out so good because you were missing in action for most of his life . not that i would ever wish that on will . sons need their fathers . but , you know , maybe in this case , if you 're too self - absorbed to be a real dad , maybe it 's not true . maybe you 'll spare will the curse of being a spencer . and possibly ending up like you . . . . | katie calls thorne to set something up with him to make it a special day . she says she is even getting bill to take will . it is time for him to step it up as a father . bill shows up and is surprised that katie is telling him such especially after obsessing for months after his daughter in - law . she does n't understand how such a powerful man can lose his way and be held hostage . and how he could lose his share of the stocks . he said he did not lose them ; he gave them to steffy . she does n't understand that either unless he felt so guilty for turning her life so upside down . but she is glad this whole mess is over and the shares are back in forrester 's hands and bill can now focus on his son . he says yeah starting tonight while she is on her date . she says careful he might sound like he is jealous . will needs his father . he needs to be a better role model to him than he was with liam or wyatt . bill says he tried to mend fences with liam but he is not ready yet . she says he needs to stop focusing on steffy and on will who needs his father . steffy calls a meeting and says she wants forrester to set the standard that other companies will want to follow with empowering women . she says she give props to hope and thorne for the hftf line but there is more they can do to step up their game . and they are in great shape as far as getting the company back to family only and bill is no longer involved . one by one she goes around the table and praises maya , hope , quinn and brooke calling them strong , accomplished woman . she wants to expand the day care center and bring kelly here and let her see her work and they all get to nurture her . she tells hope she knows this is not easy but she really is trying . |

samantha : yeah . well , the pool 's a little smaller . ridge : well , what were you , 10 , back then ? samantha : oh , i think i was younger than that when i first started coming here . ridge : this pool must 've seemed like an ocean to you . samantha : i was so proud the first time i could swim a whole lap . ridge : without your water wings , too . samantha : felicia had water wings . ridge : oh . samantha : i had a life jacket . ridge : life jacket . oh , `` sailor sam `` i think is what we called you , is n't it . samantha : i will have you know that i was freestyle champion of my high school . ridge : really ?

samantha : i hope you do n't mind . stephanie : well , i might have to think this one over . samantha : i do n't want to be any trouble . stephanie : no , i 'm teasing . i told you , my stepdaughter , bridget , is here . so the more the merrier . i 'd be delighted for you to stay here . samantha : oh , and ridge said he 'd bring the kids over to come swimming . but , oh , i suppose he does that all the time . stephanie : oh . ridge : speaking of kids , how was it with rick and amber ? stephanie : oh , let 's not go there . ridge : that good , huh ? stephanie : well , ends up that macy and deacon took the little boy with them on their honeymoon . and of course amber , because they 're out of the country , is just -- she thinks they 're never gon na come back . and sally 's dancing a victory jig . and i do n't think it could get much worse than it is . amber : rick , if edward has a plan , i wan na know what it is . rick : it 's pretty radical . amber : well , will it work ? rick : it may be the only way to stop deacon from getting custody . amber : what is it ? rick : edward thinks we should get a divorce . amber : a divorce ? that is our lawyer 's foolproof plan ? rick : nothing is foolproof . amber : a divorce ? rick : look , he thinks i have a better chance of adopting eric if i do it alone . amber : okay , a single -- a single guy with no blood ties to eric whatsoever is much better than his married biological father ! it 's ludicrous . rick : edward feels that -- amber : edward could n't feel his ass with both his hands . god , where did ridge find this guy ? you know what , right now , we have deacon beat hands down . rick : no , amber , we do n't . if we do this together , we might not be able to beat deacon at all . amber : this is coming from the guy who thought the restraining order was good idea . rick : deacon 's lawyer knows about your past . they 're going to use it against us . amber : fine . fine , if he wants to play that way , then we 'll dredge up his . rick : no , amber , we can not get into a mud - slinging match . amber : you know what , i do n't want eric to be involved in that , either . but if deacon -- rick : the judge will not give us custody . look , amber , you got too many black marks on your record . drug possession , rehab , resisting arrest , vandalism . assaulting an officer -- amber : you know what , deacon and macy are n't squeaky - clean either ! rick : no , they 're not . but on paper , their history looks cleaner than yours . amber : so -- so what ? our lawyer thinks we ca n't win , so we should just quit ? rick : no , amber , we try harder . which means we have to pull out all the stops . amber : yeah , and pulling our marriage apart ! no , it 's just crazy ! rick : this whole situation is crazy , amber ! and i hate it . but i can not risk losing eric to deacon . amber : you already made up your mind . rick : no . amber : yeah . listen to yourself . `` i `` this and `` i `` that . what happened to `` we , `` huh ? what happened to `` us ? `` rick : i 'm trying to get our son back , amber . amber : and we will . we 'll do it together ! rick : that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . we ca n't ! amber : why not ? rick : because you 're a liability . ridge : you do n't think deacon really stands a chance ? stephanie : forgive us for going on and on about -- ridge : oh , i 'm sorry . you 've listened to your share of our family problems for one day . samantha : no , no , no . just keep talking . i 'll run to the car and fetch my things . ridge : no , no , no , you wo n't . i will get them . stephanie : i 'm gon na go to the guest house and make sure the beds are made . samantha : oh , you do n't have to do that . stephanie : oh , did you wan na sleep without sheets ? relax . why do n't you take a swim ? there 's extra suits in the -- samantha : oh , it 's getting late . stephanie : really , you know what they say ? take a nice swim before you go to bed . it guarantees a good night 's sleep . samantha : well , i have n't had one of those in a while . stephanie : then do n't pass up the opportunity . the moon is up . the water 's warm . samantha : well , it does sound tempting . stephanie : it 's one of the many benefits that you 'll discover having checked into `` casa de forrester . `` samantha : thank you , again . stephanie : i 'm delighted you 're here . nick : round two . cuba libras . oh , light on the rum . brooke : thank you . nick : you understand by now that this place is pretty much just booze and beer -- no froufrou umbrella drinks . brooke : yeah , i like it . nick : really ? 'cause i was watching you from the bar and you had sort of a fat lip goin ' . brooke : it 's not the bar . i 'm having a wonderful time . nick : feeling sorry for forrester , are n't you ? brooke : and then i feel bad when i think about him when i 'm with you . nick : you do n't have to feel bad for me . he 's the one sitting home alone . brooke : this does n't bother you ? nick : no . it should n't bother you , either . let 's face it , brooke , you got a lot of stress in your life -- the situation with deacon and the kids . when you 're with me , it should just be full sail on a calm sea . brooke : it 's not so easy for ridge . nick : well , that 's his problem . if he ca n't handle it , i 'm sure he can get his mommy to help him . brooke : oh , that 's not funny . nick : well , not for him it is n't . brooke : i do n't like putting you in this position -- either one of you . i 'm just not sure what to do . nick : well , i am . you 're gon na have to make up your mind , woman . stephanie : i bet i know who you 're thinking about . and i 'll guarantee you that brooke is n't thinking about you . ridge : i 'm not gon na talk about brooke . stephanie : all right . let 's talk about sam . ridge : i can see those wheels turning in your demented mind right now . stephanie : what ? i -- i ca n't enjoy seeing you happy ? ridge : samantha is an old friend , that 's all . stephanie : yes , i know . and the first person who 's made you laugh -- really laugh -- in months . ridge : i do n't want you making a big deal out of this , all right ? stephanie : i wish it was n't . i wish it was n't such a rarity to see you smile . you know , when she arrived here earlier this evening , and we started talking , and reminiscing about all of you -- and she started remembering how you used to tease all the time and laugh all the time and be happy . and you know , as i sat there and listened to her , it broke my heart . because that is n't you any more . ridge : look , i 've been through a lot lately , all right ? stephanie : yes , i know . losing your wife was a devastating blow . and you could 've gotten through it . ridge : i did get through it . stephanie : no , you did n't . no , and you still have n't . because what you did is you just jumped right into something that was warm and comfortable . and you know what i 'm talking about . it 's this nonsense with brooke . ridge : all right , enough of that , will ya ? just stop ! stephanie : i wish it was . i wish you could just see it for what it is . she 's sucking the very life out of you . ridge : i 'm gon na go home now . stephanie : why ? so you can be there when she calls you when she comes in from her date ? what does this woman bring into your life ? nothing but frustration and disappointment and a lot of old baggage . brooke 's never made you happy . never . and she 's never going to . ridge : mother , why do you keep doing this ? tell me -- stephanie : because i love you ! because you 're my son . because i 've always wanted only the best for you . that 's why i 've pushed you . i do n't want you to ever settle for less than the best . amber : look , rick . i do n't know what edward said to you , but -- rick : i 'm sorry . i do n't want to hurt you . amber : i know . i know , you 're just scared . rick : you bet i am . amber : so am i . so , i vote we ca n't panic . yeah , i know it looks bad . but we 've beaten the odds before . rick : i wo n't roll the dice on eric 's future . amber : look , i 'm just saying that it might not be as bad as it looks . now , edward got you all worked up . but you ca n't actually believe that eric would be better off without me . rick ? you 're not buying into this ? rick : they have a video of macy 's wedding . amber : so ? rick : so you were violent on it , amber . just like you were with that cop . amber : i lost my temper . rick : in front of eric . amber : oh my god . you do . you -- you actually think that this is the answer . amber : you want a divorce ? rick : i wan na get our son back . after that -- amber : it 's not edward , it 's you . you think that i 'm a liability . you do n't want me in our son 's life . rick : no , that 's not it , amber . this is n't personal . amber : well , it is to me . it is to me that you would even consider it . you know when we were with stephanie and eric , you did n't say it -- you did n't have to say it . i could tell . i could tell that you were disappointed about what happened at the chapel . you think that i ruined our chances . rick : this is not a punishment , amber . okay ? it 's not even -- it 's not even a real divorce . it 's a strategy . amber : yeah , because no judge in the world would dare grant custody to me . huh ? no , our child would be much better off being raised by some stranger than to have anything to do with me ! is that what you 're saying ? is that what you 're trying to tell me ? amber : no , i 'm glad you did . i 'm glad to know how you really feel . i just wish you would 've said something sooner . rick : amber , look , you were right . i was just scared . amber : you 're married to me , you have every reason to be . rick : that 's not it . amber : no , but you know what ? i ca n't take all the blame . because your parents , they warned you about me . they told you not to marry me , but you had to go and marry me anyway . you had to bring me into the family , into the business . you gave me the world . and what did i give you ? i gave you a legal nightmare . rick : amber , stop it . just stop it , okay ? amber : oh , oh , i 'm gon na stop it . i 'm gon na stop it right here and right now . i 'm not putting you through this again . rick : look , this is not your fault . macy and deacon -- amber : you know what ? they would n't stand a chance of adopting eric if it was n't for me . rick : look , things look different in court . everything is black and white . they wo n't see how good you are with eric . they wo n't see how much he loves you . amber : i love him too much to see him taken away from the only father he knows . rick : i 'm sorry . amber : i 'm sorry too . i 'm sorry that i did this to you . i 'm sorry i put you in this position at all . you know if i had n't made so many mistakes , then -- rick : amber , listen to me . you are still going to be a part of eric 's life . amber : yeah , but you ca n't adopt him if i 'm a part of yours . and i know how much he means to you . i do . so , you can have your divorce . and you can have your son . and you do n't have to worry . i 'm through causing problems for you . rick : amber . amber . amber , come on . stop ! wait a minute ! there was a time not too long ago that i did n't know about you now that you 're here with me ca n't you see that i ca n't live without you [ brooke laughs ] nick : hey . would you like to dance with me ?

[ scene_break ] brooke : if you 'll think back to the hearing , taylor was extremely reluctant to give that testimony . because she knows what a devoted mother i am . and yes , i had a few bad days , but that 's why i went to her because i knew she would be an excellent sounding board . taylor never intended for our conversation to be a result in my losing custody of hope and r.j . please , tell me what i need to do to prove to you that i can be a competent parent . i want this matter settled once and for all , the right way . i want my children back under my roof . dorothy : brooke , when you called me here this evening , i did n't know what to expect . but after talking to you -- i 'm impressed . brooke : i 'm just speaking from the heart . dorothy : i know that . and i 'm going to get in touch with judge friedman , recommend that the temporary order be vacated , and your children returned to your care and custody . brooke : so hope and r.j. -- they can come back home ? dorothy : i 'm going to request a hearing for tomorrow . brooke : oh , ms . bascomb , thank you . thank you so much ! you will never regret putting your faith in me . i promise you that . dorothy : i know . i know i wo n't . brooke : my children -- they 're coming home , tomorrow ! i 'm so excited . thank you . thank you .

[ door unlocks ] deacon : let me guess -- quinn : whoa ! deacon : you snuck out when the orderly dropped his butterfly net . quinn : [ sighs ] i got the help i needed . what are you doing ? sitting around here like a lump ? deacon : i was just waiting for you . quinn : oh . heard any good news lately ? deacon : you know . quinn : hmm . that my son and your daughter are married ? deacon : mm - hmm . quinn : finally . deacon : uh - huh . and , uh , you 're just getting home , so that means , what -- you were out celebrating until now ? quinn : well , daddy , i did n't know that i had a curfew . when did you hear ? deacon : yesterday . what about you ? quinn : oh , please , i 've always known that wyatt and hope would end up together . deacon : so , what 'd you hear about the ceremony ? anything ? quinn : i do n't know . it was beautiful , i 'm sure -- the happiest day of their lives . deacon : yeah , yours , too , right ? i mean , this is exactly what you wanted . bill : i 'm not gon na make the same mistake liam did . it 's not my nature . hanging back , letting things happen -- that 's not how you get what you want . brooke : forcing the issue does n't always help , either . bill : all he had to do was be there . brooke : you and liam may feel badly about doing things the way that you did , but like you said , there are always consequences . bill : we will get past this . what happened with forrester was regrettable , but he 's home now . he 's back with katie . brooke : but he 's not the same . and i ca n't quite put my finger on it . i guess that 's pretty normal with a head injury -- memory loss , ptsd , lingering effects that we 're not even aware of yet . bill : i do n't see it . and the way forrester 's acting , i do n't think he 's changed a bit . brooke : and when i hear you talk like this , i 'm not sure that you 've changed , either . ivy : how do you think your dad 's gon na react to this ? liam : my dad ? [ chuckles ] my dad never thought hope was right for me -- at least not right enough to be mrs. spencer . it seemed like there was always somebody trying to break us up -- my dad or her dad , steffy . sometimes it worked . hope : liam ! liam : there was always that connection , you know ? it 's like the way i felt at the end of the runway the day i proposed . ivy : oh , that 's a nice memory . liam : someday it will be . quinn : it 's kind of hard to wrap your mind around , is n't it ? deacon : what , that we 're family ? quinn : well , it was n't that long ago that you were trying to pick me up in a bar . deacon : [ laughs ] dodged a bullet there , did n't i ? or more accurately , a blade . yeah , i know what you did to liam , quinn . quinn : and i know you 're the one who told wyatt . deacon : honey , you 're lucky i did , because i saved you from doing something crazy . quinn : mm . it was a bad decision . it was n't the way to handle things . deacon : quinn , you were desperate to get hope away from liam , with `` desperate `` being the operative word . quinn : mm - hmm . now she 's married to my son . deacon : yeah , that 's interesting how that worked out . are n't you kind of curious how that happened ? quinn : nope . it was meant to be . deacon : it 's too bad you did n't get to see it , though . quinn : oh , please . it was their day . my presence there would have just been a distraction . and i know that hope is n't going to embrace me right away . i got a lot of work to do there . deacon : leave her alone . quinn : excuse me ? deacon : what do you think -- that -- that i believe this actually just all happened -- that is was fate that your little plan just seemed to work out , and you had nothing to do with it ? quinn : wow . it must be horrible walking through the world like you do -- thinking everybody 's out to get you , everybody 's got ulterior motives . i guess that 's what happens when you 're a con man . deacon : i 'm not like that anymore . quinn : hmm ? deacon : i 'm not like that anymore . quinn : oh . oh , well , neither am i . no , i 'm turning over a whole new leaf . i am going to be a great mother - in - law -- supportive , encouraging . it 's okay if they do n't take me back at forrester because wyatt is there . his future is set . he 's got a great job , a happy marriage . he has the diamond . deacon : yeah , about the diamond ... i got a little visit yesterday . yeah , a lieutenant from the mexico city police department . he 's investigating the death of ricardo montemayor . ivy : it 's gon na take you awhile to process this . liam : [ laughs ] yeah . think i should keep it to myself until we get home ? ivy : no , liam , i -- no . i did n't mean it like that . i just -- it 's just if talking about this is too hard , then i - i understand , that 's all . liam : wow . hope : hard to believe . liam : you know , sometimes -- hope : i know . liam : you do , do you ? hope : mm - hmm . sometimes , you thought that we would never get to this place . liam : [ chuckles ] hope : but we 're here ... together . and soon , we 'll be husband and wife . [ chuckles ] liam : we came so close so many times . maybe you only get so many chances . bill : our kids are trying to teach us a lesson , brooke . brooke : this really makes sense to you ? bill : yeah . brooke : i have nothing against wyatt . i think he and hope are wonderful together . and it 's obvious that he really does love her . bill : but you would have bet on liam . brooke : [ sighs ] hope did not want quinn as a mother - in - law . bill : well , she married wyatt anyway . brooke : that 's a lot to take on . bill : well , she obviously feels that he 's worth it . you know , wyatt is a little bit like his old man -- not perfect , makes a mistake now and then , has a little bit of baggage , but when he tells her ... ... that it 's not going to be an issue , she can believe him . brooke : quinn will always be an issue . i 'm glad that she 's getting the help that she needs , but i 'm not gon na lie -- i hope that therapy keeps her out of los angeles for a very long time . quinn : the police came here ? deacon : yeah . a guy named paragan . he 's probably still in town . here 's his card . so , he said he wanted to talk to wyatt , but , you know , somehow i just get the sneaking suspicion that he 's eventually gon na want to talk to you . quinn : why ? deacon : well , let 's see . montemayor was poisoned . yeah , some kind of arsenic- rich gem . quinn : mm , yeah , some gems can be very dangerous . you have to be careful how you handle them . deacon : this was n't an accident . quinn , they think he was murdered . quinn : well , ricardo was a really wealthy man . he had a lot of valuable possessions . if -- deacon : they asked about the diamond . quinn : oh , well , see , there you go . that was n't missing . he gave that to wyatt in his will . deacon : oh , and does n't that sound a little bit -- i do n't know -- suspicious to you ? montemayor croaks , and all of a sudden , you - know - who winds up with a rock ? quinn : [ scoffs ] wyatt is innocent . he would n't hurt a fly . deacon : no , he probably would n't , would he ? no , you have to be -- you have to be really crazy to do that , right ? you know , i mean , like a real nut job -- like obsessed . i mean , how badly would you have to want something that you 'd be willing to kill for it ? quinn : you know , deacon , i 'd be a little careful because what you 're saying sounds an awful lot like an accusation . deacon : is that what you do when people get in your way -- when you do n't get what you want ? i mean , that 's what you tried to do to liam , and i 'm not gon na let you do it to hope . quinn : [ scoffs ] what are you talking about ? deacon : when you threatened liam , you threatened hope ! quinn : you are out of your mind . deacon : you are . quinn : mnh - mnh . deacon : you know , quinn ? you 're very beautiful , but you 're also a lunatic , and you 're a murderer . quinn : are you listening to yourself ? murder ? that is ridiculous . why would you think i murdered ricardo ? deacon : because he told me . liam : it 's funny . the last time hope and i got back together , she said it was because she could n't imagine a life without me . ivy : what , you do n't think she meant it ? liam : no , i do . i - i do . i do . i just ... [ sighs ] maybe the reason she could n't imagine life without me is because i never let her . you know , i followed her to hawaii . i followed her down the coast , to paris . wherever hope was ... there liam was . i ca n't -- i ca n't do that . i ca n't do that anymore . i ca n't live my life that way , you know ? sharing her and chasing her and constantly trying to create this -- this ideal future or -- or even rebuild the past . i have to be done . i have to be done . i have to let this go . she is married to my brother , and i have to accept that , and i have to move forward . ivy : yeah , but saying it and actually doing it ... liam : i know . [ chuckles ] i know . ivy : you will , though . liam : someday , i 'm gon na meet somebody . i 'm gon na meet somebody eventually . ivy : there 's -- there 's no rush . liam : yeah , yeah . 'cause that 's not me -- rushing . ivy : well , unless you 're saving somebody 's life . liam : well , i never said i - i could n't rush when i had to . i just ... do n't have to right now . ivy : liam ... look , i - i know that it may not seem like it right now ... but the good guys -- they all -- and you are one -- they always win out in the end . bill : quinn needs more than therapy . she should be locked up for a very long time for what she did to liam -- not in some cushy treatment center . brooke : you still think she 's dangerous ? bill : absolutely . but not to us . i 'm never going to let quinn or anyone else come between us ever again . quinn : ricardo told you i killed him ? deacon : yeah , he did . quinn : so , were you holding séances while i was away ? now you -- you talk to the dead ? deacon : just -- back in a second . quinn : hey , hey , hey . do n't touch that . that 's mine . deacon : thank you for establishing that . ricardo : wyatt , i can only imagine how surprised you are . i am , too . my heart was never fuller than when i was caretaker of the diamond . it was only out of my reach once -- when i loaned it to you . you have a shared passion and reverence for the ... quintessence of this gem . i am at her mercy , as you will be -- the mother of all diamonds . she 's yours . quinn : that 's ricardo 's message to wyatt . he 's talking about the diamond , why he wants wyatt to have the diamond . he does n't say that i murdered him . he does n't mention me at all . deacon : oh , no ? quinn : unh - unh . ricardo : she 's your mother , quinn fuller . i am at her mercy . quinn : [ chuckles ] what is that ? deacon : oh , you did n't think your buddy ricardo was gon na let you get away with it , did you ? quinn : dude , you made that video . deacon : hey , listen . the message was there , okay ? i just uncovered it . quinn : [ laughs ] you could have cut it to make him say whatever you wanted . deacon : you know , i think maybe i 'm gon na let the police decide that . quinn : you sent that to the police ? deacon : no . not yet . but i did send it to myself , and with a click of my finger , i can forward it to anyone i want to . quinn : unless i do what ? stay away from your daughter ? or you 're gon na do what ? you 're gon na -- you 're gon na ruin my reputation ? you 're gon na make me a suspect in this pointless investigation ? deacon : you 're not really getting what 's going on here , okay ? ! this is not a negotiation ! i 'm not bargaining with you ! if you had anything to do with that man 's murder , you 're going to jail . i 'll make sure the cops see that video . i 'll make sure your son sees that video . and brooke and hope and bill -- they 're all gon na know what a crazy psychopath you are ! and that little stunt that you pulled with liam and the sword -- i mean , that was enough reason to get you out of hope 's life forever ! but listen to me -- if you did this , you 're gon na go away for a very long time . quinn : oh , deacon . you 're a little too sharp for your own good . | thanks to rick 's generosity , liam flies home with ivy on the forrester jet . he pulls a little pity party about not getting to hope in time but it really was n't up to her to call him as she made the date and when he did n't show , she thought it was over . and his own dad never thought hope was good enough to be mrs. liam spencer . there was always someone like bill or steffy in the way . he says hope is now married to his brother and he has to move forward . he ca n't keep chasing her to hawaii , down the emerald coast and now paris . someday he will meet somebody . ivy takes his hand and says it might not seem like it now but he is a good guy and the good guys always win out in the end . quinn comes home to find deacon on the laptop listening to the ricardo video again . they cat and mouse with questions and she plays innocent that she knows anything other than wyatt married hope , something she always knew would happen . she missed the ceremony but she bets it was beautiful . she vows to make the best mother - in- law ever , very supportive . deacon tells her of his little visit from the mexican police and they are investigating that it might have been murder . and he thinks they will eventually want to talk to quinn . she calls deacon a con man and he says he has changed . she says so has she and he can not pin anything on her . ricardo gave the diamond to wyatt , simple as that . deacon says she is pretty but she is also a lunatic and he just wonders what a person would do and how far they would go to get exactly what they want . he calls her a murderer . she laughs it off and calls him crazy . |
ridge : are you serious right now ? rick : bringing quinn back to the company is the last thing that we should do , dad . i mean , come on . eric : the jewelry line is suffering . we need to resolve that . pam : but quinn ? eric : quinn 's talent took us to great heights before and will do it again . steffy : granddad , that is n't the issue . she 's using you . ridge : whatever sweet nothings she 's whispering in your ear ca n't be enough . your whole family is opposed to it . rick : it 's so obvious what she 's up to . eric : obvious to everyone but me . steffy : she 's a liar , and she 's a manipulator . that 's who she is . i 've learned from bitter experience . so has liam . you stole both of our lives . and nothing has been the same since . wyatt : ah . we should 've stuck around forrester and seen how right i was . liam : [ chuckles ] what ? about what he had to say to everybody ? wyatt : yeah . i bet he 's over there reassuring everyone right now that my mother is out of his life . liam : wyatt , she never should have been in his life in the first place , especially -- listen . especially after all of steffy 's warnings about staying away from her and her family . wyatt : look , i know my mother created this whole mess in the first place . i mean , approaching steffy 's granddad ? even if it was to get her job back , it was totally off - limits . but to develop this into something more is just -- liam : i know , i know . but here 's the thing -- eric was lonely . right ? i mean , that 's the only thing that would make a man like him vulnerable to a woman like quinn . do n't get me wrong . i get why you need to believe her , because we both know , if she 's lying , what that means for your marriage . thomas : mm . what was that for ? sasha : i do n't know . just ... you being you , i guess . was it okay ? thomas : that you kissed me or the kiss itself ? sasha : yeah , i guess i should n't have been so forward , huh ? thomas : hey , you do n't see me complaining do you ? sasha : no , but -- okay , come on . for a guy like you , that 's got to happen like a dozen times a day ? thomas : [ chuckles ] okay . even i 'm not that irresistible . sasha : yeah , okay . thomas : besides , i 'm a dad . thomas , the former playboy , is now thomas the responsible father . sasha : i bet you miss your little boy , huh ? thomas : yeah . but till i fly to new york or they fly back here ... life for me goes on . sasha : you know , i really do appreciate the way you stood up for me to my father . you 're a really good guy , thomas forrester . i am sorry that you overheard what you did . thomas : now , julius had no right speaking to you that way . sasha : guess i 'm pretty much used to it by now . thomas : has he always treated you like that ? sasha : for most of my life . you know , i thought that once the secret came out that he would finally come around and we could have a shot at a real relationship . but he still looks at me like i 'm some kind of embarrassment . and it 'll probably always be that way . and that 's what hurts the most . wyatt : my marriage is fine , thank you very much . my mother is backing off from eric . liam : yeah , well , for his sake and steffy 's , i sure hope so . wyatt : wow ! what about my sake ? you 're my brother , right ? i mean , we 're supposed to want to -- we 're supposed to want the best for each other . liam : yeah , well , unfortunately , we do n't agree on what that is all the time . wyatt : i know what 's best for you , and it 's a new lady , so that you can just move on from everything . ooh ! what about eva , right ? you guys were spending a lot of time together in monte carlo . liam : i got to tell you , i am shocked -- shocked -- that wyatt fuller is pitching something . wyatt : i just want you to be happy , liam . liam : i was -- with steffy . wyatt : oh , too bad . steffy 's married . liam : yeah , because of your mom . wyatt : oh , my -- come on . seriously ? this again ? liam : yes , this again ! look , quinn manipulated you , she manipulated me , she manipulated steffy , and now eric . and , yeah , sure , she 's gon na tell you that it 's over and she 's backing away , but the minute the heat dies down , she 's gon na sink her claws into him again , and that 's gon na be it for steffy . eric : i 've heard enough . ridge : oh , no , we 're just getting started . steffy : we 're worried about you . how can you not see that this is a huge mistake ? eric : what i see is a very talented woman who can re - energize the jewelry line . ridge : and tear apart this family while she 's at it . eric : oh , for god 's sake , ridge , stop . rick : what do you mean `` for god 's sake `` ? this will never work , dad . come on . eric : not if you 're all so unwilling to try . pam : oh , eric , that 's not what they 're trying to say . ridge : like hell it is n't . you think you can just waltz in here after what you did to steffy ? do you think you can just do that ? steffy : please . quinn can not be part of this company again . you 're asking too much of all of us . do n't do this . thomas : you 've been through a lot . sasha : you do n't know the half . thomas : i 've got good ears , too . you want to talk about it ? sasha : talk about what ? sasha : what it was like , you mean ? having to carry around this secret that no kid should ever have to carry ? thomas : nicole and maya , they had no idea that you were their half - sister ? sasha : nope . my father made it very clear that if i even thought about opening my mouth , i 'd be sorry . thomas : what about your mom ? she just -- she just went along with all of that ? sasha : julius would have walked away if she had n't . he would have refused to take any responsibility for me , whether it was financial or otherwise . of course ... of course , he had to know , though , that all my mother had to do was to go to aunt vivienne . thomas : but she did n't . vivienne did n't find out until all these years later . sasha : yep . and all those years i had to play best friend to her daughter , who 's actually my sister because of a secret i was forced to keep . liam : what did you say that makes you so sure you got through to your mom this time ? wyatt : i laid everything on the line . all that was at stake . liam : including your marriage ? wyatt : okay . why do you always bring it back to my marriage , like it 's just hanging on by a thread or something ? liam : well , that depends on whether quinn truly backed away or not . wyatt : she said she has n't spoken to eric since she 's been back to l.a. , and if i find out differently , i 'm gon na personally buy her a one - way ticket out of town . liam : you told quinn that ? wyatt : yeah . i told her she has to go . and i told her i want her out of l.a. , and i want her out of my life with steffy , period . quinn : if i could just say something -- ridge : no , you ca n't . you 're done here . eric : stop it , ridge . i 'm c.e.o . i 've made a decision . ridge : maybe you should n't . maybe you should n't make decisions if that 's how you 're gon na run the company . eric : so you 're questioning my competence now ? rick : no , no , dad . the only thing we 're questioning is how quinn managed to convince you to get her job back . eric : she did n't have to convince me of anything . she 's a first - class talent . she did it before . she 'll do it again . steffy : it 's not about that . it 's about who she is . ridge : you know her history , do n't you ? you really think this is a good idea ? rick : well , it 's obvious that she 's taking advantage . eric : taking advantage of your old father ? is that it ? pam : oh , come on , eric . that 's not what they 're saying . eric : that 's exactly what he 's saying . pam : no , what they are saying is that quinn fuller is a woman with a questionable grasp on reality . eric : well , it was n't too long ago when people were saying that about you , pam . pam : okay . and you stood up for me . eric : i did stand up for you . i 'm standing up for quinn now . pam : it 's not the same . ridge : and so this is n't about business ? this is about some number that she 's done on you ? steffy : oh , it 's just a way to stick it to me . i ca n't have this . i ca n't have this craziness in my life . quinn : that 's absolutely not true , steffy . ridge : you do n't get to speak in here ! you 've caused steffy enough grief . pam : and she will do the same for you , eric . think about my sister . involving yourself with quinn fuller would totally disrespect her memory . you 're lonely . we get it . you 're ready to move on . that 's okay . but the last person in the world you should turn to is quinn ! ridge : mother would n't want this for you . no one wants this for you . do n't get sucked in by her more than you already are , dad . sasha : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i do n't know why i got into all this . i should n't be dumping all this on you . i guess what you said to my father -- thomas : it 's okay . hey , he was out of line . besides , you know , i like rescuing damsels . sasha : okay , hey , i am no damsel , all right ? and after what i did to zende ... thomas : i know that the two of you were dating and then ... broke up . sasha : yeah , because i screwed up , big - time . thomas : come on . when have any of us not screwed up once , twice , a dozen times ? sasha : mm . oh , have you ever told a guy you were pregnant when you were n't just so you could keep him ? thomas : no . no . sasha : i lied to him . i faked a pregnancy in hopes that he would n't go back to nicole . you know the worst part ? i knew i was wrong , and i hated myself for it , but ... thomas : hey , hey , hey , hey . you felt loved by a man . that 's something that you never got from your father . steffy : 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 . you 've told her to stay away from me and my family , but she does n't listen to you because she does n't care , 'cause she knows you 're gon na let her back in . she 's -- she 's taking advantage of your forgiveness . wyatt : i wanted to believe that she could change , but she ca n't . she ca n't do that , and she never will . liam : this is quinn we 're talking about . you 're really gon na take her at her word after everything she 's pulled ? come on , bro . wyatt : i get that , but , like ... she 's still my mother . liam : i think you would be very wise to buy that one - way plane ticket sooner rather than later . eric : i resent this more than i can say , the four of you presuming to know what stephanie would want to say about this . ridge : there is no presumption involved . eric : i loved your mother . i 'm not gon na live my life , though , wondering if she approves . steffy : family always came first to grandmother . i thought it did for you , too . eric : hiring quinn is a business decision . eric : look , i do n't understand what your objections are here ? what has quinn ever done to you , rick ? rick : well , dad , if you could recall , when i was c.e.o . , i fired her . eric : yes , and you rehired her immediately . rick : which was a mistake . not because of her talent . because of what she has done to our family . hope losing her child . come on , dad . quinn : oh , come on . that was an awful accident . eric : you do n't have to defend yourself . ridge : dad . listen to him . you know ridge and i , we never see eye - to - eye on anything . that should tell you something . steffy : quinn is detrimental to this company . just like she 's detrimental to my marriage . quinn : if i could just prove to you that i am not that woman anymore . i do n't want to cause any more stress to you or your marriage , steffy , but ... there is something genuine and organic that 's happening . steffy : there 's nothing genuine or organic about you . eric : steffy , stop it ! steffy : no , granddad , i 'm done ! i ca n't -- i just -- i ca n't keep thinking about what happened to liam . she kidnapped him . she abused him . you manipulated my life . and you 're just overlooking it . i told her to stay away from my family , and now she 's -- she 's here , targeting you . we need to do something about this . you . you need to stop this . sasha : secrets are bad . and lies are even worse . thomas : zende , nicole , i mean , they 're forgiving you , right ? sasha : for the most part . thomas : what about the rest of the family -- vivienne , maya ? i mean , i thought they 've all kind of accepted you . sasha : aunt viv is trying . but as my father keeps telling me , i am one big constant reminder of his infidelity , something she may never forgive him for . thomas : yeah , but that 's not your fault . none of it is . look , the affair , the lies , the secret , the fallout -- that 's not yours . sasha : i know , but he hates having me around , which he 's made really clear . thomas : something tells me he 's gon na regret that . sasha : you think ? thomas : yeah . i do . and if you ever need a shoulder to cry on , i 've always got one . just do it on this shoulder . this -- this one 's sunburnt , so ... sasha : oh , yeah ? [ chuckles ] wyatt : figured i would 've heard from steffy by now . liam : hmm . maybe eric announced his engagement to your mother and all hell broke loose . wyatt : that is not funny at all . you know that ? liam : hey , if quinn had it her way ... wyatt : but she does n't . not about this . she crossed a line by getting involved with eric . but she 's backed off now . i made sure of it . liam : wyatt , how many times has your mother said one thing to you and done the opposite ? i know you trust her -- you have to -- but i ca n't . and i never will . quinn 's gon na do something . we both know that . she 's gon na lose control again , and when she does , that 's gon na be it for steffy . she 's gon na realize none of this -- none of this is ever gon na change , no matter what you do to try to protect her . and the only way to distance herself from quinn ... is to distance herself from you . ridge : please tell me papers have n't been signed yet . eric : nothing has been formalized , no . rick : great . rescind your offer and tell her it 's not happening . steffy : no , it ca n't happen . quinn is dangerous . she has a serious personality disorder . she needs treatment . eric : maybe what quinn needs is a little support , a little care . steffy : okay , that 's nice of you to think that way , but that does n't work with quinn . it never has . rick : you got to understand , we 're just looking out for your best interests here . ridge : and what 's best for the company . eric : clearly , that 's not me , according to you . pam : no , eric , everyone just wants you to see that it 's all a game to her . dressing in disguises , following you to monte carlo , pretending to have feelings for you . i am sure she would love nothing more than to try to take stephanie 's place in your life and in this company . but that 's exactly -- eric : nobody 's ever gon na take stephanie 's place in my life . i just resent very deeply being treated like a child . steffy : no one 's doing that , grandfather . but coming here and asking quinn to work with us , asking all of us to have a relationship with her ... we ca n't do it . we 're family , and we need to stick together . so whatever feelings you think you have for quinn , you need to let them go . you and quinn , it has to be over . . . | ridge and rick ask eric if he is serious bringing quinn back . his whole family is against it . steffy says quinn stole both her and liam 's life and nothing has been the same since . when eric tries to explain steffy says he is asking too much of them now to welcome quinn back . she is just using him . wyatt and liam discuss it and wyatt thinks eric is there right now explaining why it will be over . liam says he hopes so for the sake of wyatt 's marriage . wyatt says his marriage is just fine and his mother is backing off . and they are brothers and should want the best for each other . liam says they do but they do n't always agree just what that is . wyatt says he just needs to get on with his life and leave wyatt 's alone . thomas meets up again with sasha and she thanks him again for standing up for her with julius and says he is a really good person and a good dad to douglas . thomas says yes once the playboy and now a good dad and that is the way he wants it to be . and julius had no right to speak to her that way . she says he has always been that way and probably always will . he says he has good ears if she would like to talk about it . sasha says her mother even had to go along or julius would have turned his back on her too . liam tells wyatt that his marriage is holding on by a thread so that is why he keeps bringing it up . eric says quinn is a first class talent that has done it in the past and she will do it again . pam speaks up and says but quinn has a questionable unstable past . eric reminds pam that it was n't that long ago that the same could be said about her . pam says that was not the same but eric did stand up for her . he says yes just like he is doing with quinn now . he is still ceo and this is his decision . he loves quinn but this is strictly a business decision . rick says he and ridge never see eye to eye but now they do so that should tell eric something . quinn finally speaks up and says she does not want to cause any more trouble . steffy starts in again on how she kidnapped liam and now eric has the chance to stop all of this and not further it . |

[ stammers ] he does n't care about that . it does n't matter to him . bill : he will care . katie : no . bill : he 'll care . it 's his legacy . my business is his legacy . he 'll care . katie : it will never be as important to him as your love and as your attention . never . i mean , you just -- you 've been gone for so much , it just makes me wonder sometimes ... bill : what ? katie : do n't you understand that the best thing , the most valuable thing you can give our son is you ? your love and your attention . a healthy relationship with his father . liam : does this feel like déjà vu to you ? hope : no . liam : [ chuckles ] i mean ... we 're in the cabin , we 're all curled up under blankets . we 're engaged . hope : mm . well , when you proposed before , it was about healing the past and making things right . but now , you know , it 's about the life we want for ourselves and our child . you know , i hope our lives are always full of these surprise . but good ones . [ both chuckle ] liam : you know , i do n't have to wait for our vows . i can make you that promise right now . hope : and i still ca n't believe it . getting married to you and having this -- this life growing inside of me . this child that i -- i 've always wanted . liam : speaking of this child , we need to have a talk . hope : oh -- liam : yeah . hope : oh . okay . liam : hold on . hope : [ giggles ] liam : yes . what 's that ? yeah , buddy . uh - huh . i totally agree . i know . we ca n't wait to meet you , too . . . . | katie has a good date with thorne while bill tries his best to entertain will who is ignoring bill and only interested in his video games . thorne thinks katie is probably thinking about will . she says no he is fine with bill . liam kisses hope and asks if it is okay that he is here . she says they are engaged . he says he means here in this cottage while ridge is just over there in the big house . he says it feels different like a new era for them . she says it is , now they will have children . they begin to get intimate . katie is about to guide thorne to her bedroom when bill calls . he whispers low that will is not interested in his cars or toys anymore and wants to come home . katie says bill is not his babysitter now . he is will 's dad and this will work out if he gives it a little time . bill says no , come and get him now . katie says she will pick him up tomorrow and hangs up , telling thorne it was a minor interruption but will is going to be okay . she apologizes and he says she always has to focus on will , he would expect nothing else . he confesses he is in love with her which shocks her . he does n't want to tell her ; he wants to show her . he kisses her and takes her by the hand but they do not get out of the room when bill is knocking on the door with will in tow , glad to be home . |
hope : how old was she the first time she grasped your finger ? liam : um , little -- really little , like , before the trip to paris . hope : what about the first time she held her rattle ? liam : i was not there for that . > hope : do you think she likes this one ? liam : [ laughing ] oh , my god . she likes it . she likes it -- just not as much as my chin or your hair . [ knock on door ] hope : oh . well , if they knock , we know it 's not mom . liam : [ chuckles ] hope : who is it ? will : baby inspector . liam : uh - oh . hope : ohh . liam : ooh . hope : [ laughs ] will : it 's been reported you have an uninspected baby . hope : oh , no ! not the baby inspector ! katie : ah , surprise ! liam : hey . katie : oh , i 'm -- i 'm not a surprise . i was already here . but they just finished up their father - son trip , so ... da da - da da liam : good lord ! katie : yep , i know . we had to put the roof down to get it in the car . bill : uh , you do n't think it 's gon na give that little sweetheart nightmares , do you ? liam : well , no , but what about me ? bill : well , you two already lived the nightmare . but it 's , uh , nothing but sweet dreams from here on in . right ? brooke : but have you seen her ? what about her mother ? okay . alright . thanks anyway . [ scoffs ] wyatt does n't know where flo is . what should we do ? should we call the police ? ridge : no . they 're not gon na go anywhere without their driver 's license . we will find them , and they will pay for what they 've done . what time is it , anyway ? [ sighs ] zoe 's not late -- not yet . [ door opens ] zoe : you came back ? xander : yeah . yeah . last night . zoe : so , you -- you -- you know what 's happened ? xander : maya told me . zoe : i 've never been so scared , xander . ridge is waiting for me now . xander : you 're not in prison . that 's ... something . zoe : i 've been so lost while you 've been gone . i - i 've never needed you more . xander : yeah . it 's -- it 's sad that you did n't think so when i was trying to prevent everything that 's happening to you now . xander : so , where is thomas now , anyway ? zoe : nobody knows . xander : yeah , 'cause from what i heard , his son tipped liam off ? zoe : something like that . xander : so , you -- you never came clean ? zoe : xander -- xander : you know , do you ever ask yourself why you reserve your loyalty for your father instead of people who 've actually stood by you ? i mean , hope , the forresters , me , we 've all -- you know what ? it does n't -- it does n't matter . i 've honestly thought of a lot of devastating things to say , but ... it just does n't matter anymore , so ... let 's go . what ? you said ridge is waiting for you , right ? [ sighs ] then we 'll face him together . brooke : i think i know why you do n't want to call the police . thomas . because whatever shauna and zoe and xander are guilty of , so is he . so , have you been able to reach him yet ? ridge : when my son is afraid or ashamed ... the last person he wants to see is me . liam : you know , you do n't need to stare , dad . you 've actually seen beth before . bill : she was incognito . she had a different name . will : did she look different ? bill : she looks like a spencer now . i work hard to protect this tookus . bill : alright . will you stop messing around with that thing ? just put it down ! liam : we 're trying to find a place in the room where it does n't swallow all of us whole . you always do this . you buy these gifts that we have to put in a safe or a storage facility . bill : it 's the abc 's of me . will : or it could indicate deep - seated feelings of inadequacy manifesting as an obsession with size . bill : what did you say ? katie : i swear to god he did n't hear that from me . will : a guy in my comic - book group posted it about loki and thor . bill : well , number one , i 'd give both those clowns a beatdown . number two , i do n't have a size obsession . will : what about sky ? bill : what about sky ? sky -- would you monitor what this boy reads from now on , please ? liam : [ chuckles ] honestly , i 'm just grateful he did n't bring her a sword necklace . bill : uh , well , the -- the truth is that i did consider it , only because i thought it would serve as sort of like a , you know , name tag -- `` if lost , return to the nearest spencer . `` hope : yeah , well , beth will never be lost again . liam : yeah . we 've , uh -- we 've missed enough days with her . bill : yeah , you two sure have . so , uh , any word on that , uh , scum - sucking low life buckingham being arrested ? liam : i do n't know . apparently , ridge is coordinating with the london authorities . bill : yeah , that 's what i hear . and buckingham better hope that they find him before my people do . zoe : sorry to keep you waiting . brooke : xander ? ! ridge : i thought you went back to london . xander : yeah , i - i did . but i - i was n't hiding . ridge : so why did you go ? to warn buckingham ? xander : no . zoe : he would n't do that . ridge : i 'm not talking to you -- not now . xander : believe me , i want that man behind bars just as much as you do . maya got ahold of me , and when she told me that everyone knew that hope 's baby was alive , i knew i had to come back to make sure the whole truth was told . ridge : when did you first find out about hope 's baby ? xander : uh , the -- the night that she and liam signed the annulment papers . brooke : so , you could have prevented it ? zoe : he tried . xander : yeah . d - did n't thomas explain this ? ridge : thomas ? brooke : wait . i remember that hope said that you barged in and you demanded to be heard but then you disappeared . xander : yeah . thomas intercepted me . he would n't let me back in the house . he wanted that marriage to end . that was the day he found out , too . flo told him everything . threatened us if we did n't keep quiet . ridge : threatened you how ? xander : i just thought it was a lot of hot air -- you know , until he drove emma to her death off of mulholland drive . ridge : did what ? brooke : what ? xander : zoe and i were careless one night , and she overheard us talking . there was nothing that we could do to stop her from going straight to hope until thomas found a way . ridge : that 's a very serious accusation . xander : look , i can show you proof . it 's -- it 's not 100 % conclusive , but it does n't leave many dots to connect . i - i know how this looks . but i 'm glad the truth is finally coming out . ridge : because of a 5-year - old boy ... who was n't afraid to tell the truth . my joints ... they hurt . will : beth , when you 're old enough , i 'll teach you about investing . katie : said my son , william spencer . will : what are uncles for ? bill : oh ! my pride and joy . liam : hey ! what does that make me ? bill : that makes you my first - born son ... the man who walked into my life and changed everything . liam : i 'll take it . you know , sometimes i wonder what it 's like to be you , to be actually raised by this man . bill : no . not back then , liam . i was n't ready . back then i did n't know what would make me happy , so i just acquired things and people , lived a no - regrets life . i thought i had a clear conscience . but i didn't . anyway , that was then , and -- and this is now , and now all i want to do is spoil my granddaughters . and if i spoil them rotten , that 's on you and their mothers to fix it . liam : how 'bout we take it on a case - by - case basis ? will : ground rules . liam : yes , ground rules , exactly , starting with no ferraris . bill : no ! of course not -- not till they 're driving . liam : n - no , not till they 're like 25 . bill : 25 ? ! 25 ? do n't worry . i 'm gon na work on him . hope : [ laughs ] zoe : it started with this key . my dad had gone back to london , and the hospital called , saying that he left some personal things behind and if they should send them to his local address in care of me . and i never even had his address . he never told me where he was living . so , anyway , when i went to go pick up his things , i found this key , and , you know , i took it to his address , and , of course , the key fit . but the only thing was it looked like someone had still been living there -- flo . ridge : and you 'd never seen her before ? zoe : no . no . i - i was snooping around , and i found a copy of phoebe 's adoption papers with steffy 's name on it . so when i finally got flo to admit to everything , all she knew about the birth mother was her first name , hope , and by then , i knew better than her what my father had done . brooke : so , why did n't you come to us that day ? zoe : my father did n't think that he had any other choice , okay , but to -- i - i 'm not trying to defend him . brooke : oh , yes , you are . ridge : so , there was a debt -- gambling debt . zoe : yeah , from really bad people , and they were making threats against my life . ridge : why did n't you go to the police ? zoe : well , i asked him that , too , and , of course , by then , it was way too late . ridge : it was n't too late to come to us , tell us the truth . zoe : well , i did n't want him to go to jail . ridge : why ? that 's what he deserved . zoe : because he cared about me , finally . xander : you never said that before . zoe : xander , you know how it was . after my mother divorced my father , he was n't part of my life . yeah , a christmas card and some random presents out of the blue , but , suddenly , he was here . and he said he came to l.a. to be near me . xander : he was running , zoe . is n't that obvious now ? they found him in london , and then they traced him here . zoe : he said he was sorry , okay ? he said he was sorry for all the lost years in between , and he said that he loved me , and i - i know that he meant it . ridge : and keeping his secret -- that was , what , your way of loving him back ? brooke : have you talked to flo since this all came unraveled ? zoe : no . no . and whatever else you may think of her [ sighs ] she was taken in by my father , too . look . no . as soon as she found out the enormity of what my father did , she wanted to tell it all . she wanted to tell you . she wanted to tell wyatt . she wanted to tell hope ... so many times . but my father -- he stopped her and ... i stopped her . ridge : well , i do n't care about any of that . right now the question is what to do with you and with you . ( avo ) do you push through migraine ? zoe : we 're gon na be arrested . xander : yeah , well , we expected that , so ... zoe : i mean , at least i am . xander : i 'm not gon na leave you , okay ? [ cellphone rings ] ridge : yeah . this is he . really ? he 's in custody ? well , that is fantastic . thank you . now -- i know . extradition 's gon na be complicated 'cause he 's a u.k. citizen , but i - i - i will . i 'll get our attorneys on it . thank you . thank you . [ cellphone beeps ] well , i do n't think i have to explain that phone call . zoe : no . ridge : [ sighs ] guys , i 'm not a lawyer . i do n't know what they 're gon na charge you with . conspiracy after the fact ... an accomplice to a kidnapping , trafficking ? a lot of money changed hands . but you told me you did n't take any money . is that true ? zoe : yes . xander : yes . yes . ridge : well , then i guess the only thing you did wrong was you lied . you do n't go to prison for that . it 's not a crime against society . it 's just a crime against my family . but i love my family . do n't ever step foot in this building again . you 're terminated . xander : yeah . yeah . um ... we -- we understand [ voice breaking ] and we are truly sorry . we know how many people we 've let down -- the forresters and , uh , the logans , and i 'm sure my family will be ashamed of me . brooke : the avants are our family , too . maya was hope 's sister - in - law , but that did n't matter to you . zoe : xander only kept quiet because of thomas ' threats ... and because i asked him to . ridge : zoe , you got to start taking care of yourself ... 'cause your dad 's gon na do anything he can ... to blame somebody else for what happened . zoe : [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] um , i know how hollow it might sound now , but , um [ sniffles ] i 'm actually really genuinely glad that beth is back with her mother . brooke : even though you tried to prevent it ? zoe : yeah . katie : i think the pink bear wants some kisses ! hope : hi ! katie : i think so . bill : you 've got quite a family . liam : well , you know what they say -- what a difference a day makes . bill : i did n't know what to say when beth was gone , liam . liam : don't . you were -- you were fine . bill : i was n't fine . it hit me hard . but i did n't want to bother you with that . what would be the point ? it would only make things worse for you and hope . you know that i 've always had a - a complicated ... relationship with , uh ... the man upstairs . is he there ? is he not there ? but i decided to err on the side of caution ... so i said a prayer . well , maybe it was n't a prayer . it was a request . i put in a request that ... he watch over you and hope ... hope : [ laughs ] bill : ... and beth . liam : thank you . prayers are -- prayers are great . and so is having a grandfather . [ chuckles , sniffles ] bill : she 's got me . liam : this is nice , you know ? it 's nice to have you here ... covering my blind spots , keeping me in check . i think i - i 've needed that . i - i need ... well , my dad . bill : and you 've got me . liam : mm . [ sighs ] bill : now ... there 's something i need from you . liam : ohh , man . what -- why do you ha -- what ? what ? what ? bill : i have n't held my granddaughter yet , liam . liam : no , you -- no , you have not -- hey . do you -- would you -- would you like to hold your granddaughter ? bill : i think that was the implication , right ? hope : here we go . thought you 'd never ask . bill : hi ! hi ! look at you . you beautiful little beth . [ chuckles ] spencer . you sure gave us a scare . mm . and i bet liam -- i bet he looked a lot like you when he was your age . of course , i never -- i never got to -- got to hold him back then . but if i did ... i would have told him exactly what i 'm about to tell you . life is gon na be so good for you . beth : [ fusses ] bill : your daddy 's gon na see to it . hope : [ chuckles ] bill : where are you wanting to go ? where are you wanting to go ? where you wanting to go ? where you wanting to go ? hmm ? where you wanting to go ? what do you see ? what do you see up there ? oh , it 's the bear . | will comes to the cabin and knocks on the door . since he knocked hope knows it is not her mother . will answers that he is the baby inspector . he comes in and is closely followed by katie and bill who is holding the world 's largest life- sized teddy bear . he has a good reunion with his first born , liam , and hopes will growing up with a father around from the beginning will be better . aside from the others , bill tells liam that he took all of this very hard but he did not want to add to liam 's problems so he said nothing . liam tells him he was fine . and what a difference a day makes . bill admits that he always collected people and things . and his relationship with the man upstairs was always sort of complicated but he did not want to take it for granted so he said a prayer . well maybe not a prayer , but a request that all would be right with beth . liam says prayers are good and his prayer was answered . and grandfathers are important so he is glad bill is here now to keep liam in check as his dad . bill says he has one more thing he needs of liam does he have to ask to hold his granddaughter . liam is grinning from ear to ear and turns to hope with the others and goes and gets beth and brings her to bill who too is now grinning . while beth wiggles and giggles , bill claims it is good to welcome another spencer . liam admits it is and he will always be in beth 's life . brooke and ridge are at the office and she asks if he has called the police about flo . he replies no and she says she thinks it is because of thomas . if what flo , zoe and xander did and they are guilty then thomas is too . he tells her that he has the driver 's license so flo is going nowhere . they want to wait and see if zoe shows up at work today as flo did not . |

amber : please stop ! oscar : chill out . i 'm just teasing , all right . amber : well , i 'm not laughing . oscar : okay . come on , amber . you and thomas ? you got ta admit it 's a little bit funny . come on . amber : why ? why is that so funny if caitlin and rick are the romance of the century ? oscar : okay . what 's going on ? amber : i got evicted . oscar : evicted ? from the beach house ? amber : from the beach house -- from the whole forrester family . oscar : oh , boy . you got busted with thomas , did n't you ? ridge : we 're going to talk about this . thomas : you mean you 're going to talk about it ! brooke : thomas , what were you doing with amber ? thomas : does n't matter what i say . he 's not gon na listen to me . brooke : i 'm listening . ridge : it was the girl in the car , was n't it ? the one i saw you making out with . how long has this been going on , anyway ? what , since you saw rick and caitlin ? amber just sees you vulnerable , and then she pounced ? thomas : pounced ? give me a break . we were just hanging out . ridge : in bed ? brooke : you 're not saying -- ridge : yeah , that 's where i found them . doing god knows what . thomas : we were n't doing anything ! ridge : then why would amber hide under the covers , then ? thomas : because we knew you 'd overreact . ridge : to what ? brooke : thomas . look , we 're not angry with you . we just need to know -- how far has this gone ? oscar : i 'm right , right ? about you and thomas ? amber : ridge caught us together . oscar : caught you ? that does n't sound good . amber : no . we were kissing . oscar : okay . amber : on the bed . oscar : were you dressed ? amber : mostly . oscar : mostly ? amber , what are you doing ? amber : i tried to hide under the covers ! oscar : that was smooth . i bet ridge flipped . amber : yeah , he wanted to kill me . oscar : no offense , but i can understand why he 'd be mad . amber : oh , no , no , no . he was n't just mad . he 's like , convinced that i 'm this evil incarnate . oscar : yeah , well , you hookin ' up with his teenage son ai n't gon na help matters any . amber : oh , do n't you start . oscar : it 's just -- amber : just what ? is it so hard to believe thomas and i are friends ? oscar : actually ? yeah . i 'm just sayin ' -- amber : what , what ? that i 'm an opportunist who likes to prey on little rich boys , hmm ? oscar : amber , i -- amber : oh , no , no , no , no , no . you know what ? you 're right . in fact , i got my sights on little rj next . oscar : hey ! hey ! hey ! listen to me , okay ? i 'm just saying -- seems like you and thomas would n't have anything in common . except the fact that you 're both lonely . amber : right . i 'd rather have you think i 'm a scammer than a loser . oscar : oh , do n't do that . do n't do that . do n't put words in my mouth . amber : thomas , he does n't see me that way . you know ? see this ? oscar : yeah . it 's nice . amber : he gave it to me . and he sent me flowers . and he thinks i 'm amazing . and when i 'm with him -- oscar : you do , too . amber : he makes me feel better about myself . you know , if you think about it , the age difference , it really is n't all that bad . i mean , because in a few years he 's gon na be -- oscar : a few years ? i 've got news for you . if ridge catches you with his son again , you 'll be lucky to live another day . thomas : i told you guys , you 've got nothing to worry about . ridge : yeah , i 'm sure it seems that way to you . brooke : you do n't understand , we 've heard that before . from rick . when amber took advantage of him . thomas : this is not the same thing at all ! amber 's changed . she 's been an awesome friend to me in a way no one else has . ridge : what the hell does that mean ? thomas : it -- ridge : how good of a `` friend `` has she been , anyway ? brooke : we 're listening . are n't we , ridge ? ridge : yes . go ahead . thomas : the night of the ingénue showing , when i saw caitlin and rick kissing . i just wanted to be alone . so i went to the beach house . brooke : you did n't know amber was staying there ? thomas : no , and when i found out , i almost left . but we got to talking and she 'd had a pretty rough night , too . ridge : because she still wanted rick . thomas : okay , maybe we were using each other to feel better at first . but the more we talked , the more i realized how cool she is . ridge : oh , i 'm sure she was pulling out all the stops . thomas : amber 's not like that ! she did n't try to seduce me . though i wish she had . ridge : oh , come on ! that 's her m.o . she reels you in , makes you feel like you 're the one pursuing her . thomas : i am ! ridge : you do n't know what you 're dealing with here ! thomas : i know her better than you do . and thank god that i do ! at least there 's someone in my life who thinks i 'm not just some stupid kid ! ridge : well , she 's not in your life . not anymore ! thomas : you do n't get to decide that ! ridge : thomas ! we 're not through ! thomas ! god ! ridge : i hope he 's telling me the truth . if i find out he had sex with amber moore -- brooke : he knows exactly how you 'd react . that why he would n't admit it , even if they had . ridge : you do n't think they really , uh -- brooke : no . that would be moving too fast , even for amber . especially if all this started the night of the showing . ridge : yeah . when thomas saw rick kissing caitlin is when it started . brooke : yeah . it was tougher on him than we imagined . ridge : and completely preventable . if rick had just kept his damn hands to himself , like i asked him to -- brooke : ridge , please do n't blame rick . ridge : why not ? brooke : because this is going to be just as upsetting to him as it is to us . ridge : we did n't create this , brooke . brooke : well , neither did he . look , he 's falling in love . ridge : love ? oh , please . brooke : he came over here tonight to tell me his feelings , what he was feeling for this girl , caitlin . ridge : thomas did the same thing . brooke : well , caitlin did n't reciprocate those feelings . ridge : she did n't exactly get a chance to , did she ? before mr . rising young executive , you know , puts on the moves . if he 'd just listened to me first off and backed off , we 'd never be going through this right now . instead , he practically delivered thomas to amber 's front door . brooke : speaking of amber 's front door , i do n't think we should be providing her with free room and free board . ridge : believe me , we 're not . i kicked her out . brooke : in front of thomas ? ridge : you 're damn right , in front of thomas . [ brooke sighs ] ridge : what ? brooke : ridge . ridge : what ? brooke : you ca n't do that . if you 're too tough on her , you 're playing right into her hands . that 's what she wants . you remember how hard this was for me . all i wanted to do was to get rick away from amber . ridge : i remember . brooke : instead , i pushed him right into her arms . ridge : i 'm sure she 's counting on that happening all over again the same way . and so far , it sure is . he 's up there furious at me , feeling sorry for that witch . brooke : oh , shh . he can probably hear you . ridge : how am i supposed to protect my son ? tell me that . brooke : just focus on him , not on rick , not on amber , not on caitlin . look , i know this is hard for you , but you hardly let him get a word in . ridge : i just ca n't sit around and listen to him go on and on about how cool amber is . brooke : you have to let him express his feelings . otherwise , he 's going to show you . and that 's what rick did to me . he showed me . he went off and married amber . i believe the best defense against amber is for you to have a good relationship with your son . do n't talk at him . you have to talk with him . and do it before it 's too late . ridge : okay . thank you . amber : you know , maybe thomas can get through to him . oscar : yeah , yeah . maybe . maybe . that is , if ridge ever lets him out of his room again . amber : thomas has been through enough . oscar : you know , if you really care about thomas -- amber : well , of course i do . oscar : okay . well , then there 's only one thing you can do . stay away , like ridge asked you to . amber : that 's not what thomas wants . oscar : okay . here 's the thing . he 's a kid . you 're an adult . it 's up to you to make the responsible decision here . amber : what ? and turn my back on a friend . oscar : no . respect his father 's wishes . amber : it 's not like ridge has shown me any respect . oscar : i do n't care what you think about ridge . i can tell you this -- all he 's doing is trying do what 's best for his son . you know , amber , thomas is very lucky . he 's got the kind of father you never did . you wan na mess that up for him ?

[ scene_break ] ( `` i 'm free `` by josh one featuring eighty playing ) steffy : hey , okay , so the car is coming . where is liam ? ramona : uh , he went with jessie and rex . i think he 's looking for his lampshade . steffy : wait , which -- which way did he go ? ramona : uh , over there . they 've been gone awhile . i do n't know . ( song ) i 'm free to think in my own way steffy : let me just , uh , get through here . excuse ... really ? really ? excuse me . sorry . oh , my god ! liam ! liam ! there you are . i told you not to go anywhere . uh - oh . | steffy is surprised to see liam back at the club . he explains it 's okay . he was to have dinner with hope , but something important came up and she cancelled . he 'll see her tomorrow at the wedding .. meantime he is ready to dance the night away .. and he does , belting down the drinks as well . in fact he makes a toast and announces the bartender will be keeping the drinks flowing since it 's his last night of being free .and the drinks are on liam . yep , soon he 's wearing the proverbial lampshade and never stops gyrating on the dance floor . brooke and ridge share some pillow talk about hope and liam 's wedding tomorrow .. meantime they can then concentrate on their own big olive in the sky wedding . |

[ chuckles ] and the truth is , you ca n't go back to that . you ca n't get that feeling back . but you can move on . you can fight for what you want , and you can have the happy ending if you do n't give up . i 'm living proof of that . katie : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] bill : i love you . we 're landing soon . brooke : [ clears throat ] bill : so , you know how this is gon na go down , right ? we 're gon na go to the house , and katie will be furious . there 'll be no talking to her . you really want to go down that road ? brooke : [ sighs ] bill : all right . we 'll -- we 'll -- we 'll do it . if for no other reason than you and i can move on with our lives together . brooke : bill . bill : i 'm gon na tell katie how i feel about you . brooke : no ! bill : i 'm not gon na lie , brooke . you 're the woman for me . brooke : stop .

[ door closes ] bill : where 's will ? katie : uh , he 's sleeping . bill : you want to give me my blocking ? katie : you 're blocking ? bill : for your cameras . i 'm sure you want a good shot of me reacting to your performance , so is -- is this a good spot right here ? go on . tell me how despicable i am for going to monte carlo to see your sister . i am curious , though , how you 're going to justify judging me after what you 've done . hidden cameras , spying on us , manipulating us into being here at the same time so you could test us . well , every man has his limits , katie , and you pushed me to mine . you pushed me to brooke . brooke : bill , just let her talk . katie : fair enough . how about no more yelling , no more judging ? [ sighs ] i will own my part in this . i will take responsibility . and i will apologize . and i will ask for your forgiveness . and i will give you mine . i will give you mine . i was reminded today that sometimes you have to fight for what you want in this life , and the fight is never easy . [ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] i just want so -- so desperately to ... to go back and -- and do things differently . i just ... i just want to go back ... to when you were mine and -- and only mine . but there 's -- there 's no point in wishing for things that you ca n't have . you have to just deal with what 's here and what 's now . i hate that you went to monte carlo , but i also hate that you felt like you had to . i want you to come home . i want to start over . i want you to look at me the way you used to . i love you , bill . i want you back . | bill tells brooke they could still turn around and go back to monte carlo or even aspen or they could buy an island and really be alone . she laughs but says please do n't . they have to go home and talk to katie . bill states that they will go back to let katie vent , but he is n't changing his mind . brooke makes him promise that he will at least hear her out . the doorbell rings and katie thinks bill is back . it 's hope . she says she knows katie must be sick of her , but she is worried about katie and did not want her to be alone . katie gives her a hug and thanks her for her support . katie says she feels so helpless . she just wants to go back to the time when bill was just hers . at spencer publications , wyatt looks around and is very impressed . he asks the receptionist to see liam spencer and then has to explain that he has no appointment , he 's his brother . she welcomes him and sends him on his way to liam 's office where another assistant stops wyatt and tries to keep him from going in . liam is on a break and doing yoga waiting for his lunch when wyatt surprises him . he tells liam and the secretary that he 's going to need a badge as they are going to be seeing a lot more of him around here . wyatt says he came to apologize again . he feels like there is still some animosity between them . well duh , wyatt did kiss his fiancee , but he apologized for that so no need to do it again . wyatt says he knows but it is still tense and he wants them to be brothers and hang out together without it feeling weird if liam is okay with that . liam concedes that he has to be since bill ordered that wyatt stay in the house , so apology accepted . the secretary brings the lunch in and liam digs in . he offers wyatt a taste although he knows wyatt is a meat and potatoes man like bill but even bill is not afraid of a little steamed broccoli and kimchi . wyatt frowns but takes a teeny bite . when liam prods , wyatt makes a face and says it 's the best he 's ever had . liam asks if he 'd like a doggie bag if he were to split it up . wyatt assures him that he is stuffed so he 'll pass . he says he is glad liam is onboard since they are brothers . and he should not be telling liam how to treat hope anyway . he knows he is off to a bad start and this whole brotherly thing is going to take getting used to . brooke calls katie and says they are on the way home and coming by her place first . they need to talk . bill says they will do this only to be sure that he and brooke can move on with their lives together . he is going to tell katie how he feels about brooke . brooke does n't want him to do that , but bill says he is not going to lie . brooke is the only woman for him . brooke says she wants to be with bill too , but he needs to think of will . he assures her that the boy will want for nothing . he did think of him , but what a child really needs is a good example of parents who love and trust one another . he and katie do not have that anymore . they both can raise him but not as a couple . bill says his future is with brooke . |
steffy : granddad , please just listen to us . quinn is dangerous . she 's not good for you or the company . ridge : and hiring her would be a huge mistake , dad . rick : i 've got to agree with ridge on this one . she 's just gon na cause more problems . pam : listen to them , eric . you do n't want to do something that you might regret . steffy : might ? we all know what quinn is capable of . think about what she did to liam . eric : all right , all right . i 've heard enough . i know where you all stand on this issue . look , you 're my family . i hate to do anything to upset any of you , especially you , steffy . wyatt : it 's over with eric . my mom promised me that she was backing off . what ? it 's like you 're hoping that she 'll mess and do something stupid . liam : it 's not that . i just have no faith in the woman . wyatt , it is naive to think that quinn has changed , that she 's not gon na affect steffy 's life anymore . wyatt : okay , well , you let me worry about steffy , okay ? you go worry about your charities and saving the world . liam : i am very committed to my foundation , but i 'm even more committed to looking out for steffy . wyatt : huh . sasha : you know , i 've heard all the rumors about you , thomas forrester . thomas : [ clears throat ] you should n't believe any of them . sasha : really ? thomas : no . sasha : hmm , because word on the street is that underneath that handsome , eligible bachelor façade you got going on , you 're a pretty thoughtful guy . thomas : oh ! in that case , yes , you should believe everything you hear , absolutely . sasha : oh , that 's a different tune . thomas : yeah , yeah . sasha : but seriously , the way you defended me to my father earlier -- it 's just really nice to know that somebody 's got my back . thomas : like i said , any time you need me , i 'm there . sasha : god , it 's such a big change -- you know , coming out to l.a. and working for forrester creations . thomas : hmm . sasha : i do n't take any of it for granted at all . in fact , like , i practically have to pinch myself every day to make sure this is still real . like , is this my life ? look at me ! thomas : well , you 're doing an amazing job . sasha : thank you . thomas : you even make workout clothes look amazing . sasha : [ chuckles ] well , that 's good to know , because i practically live in this stuff . thomas : oh . sasha : yeah , it 's um -- it 's super comfy , a little sexy . dress it up , dress it down . put a little `` sasha `` on it . thomas : oh , i like it . a lot . sasha : thanks . yeah , and it really works with this super - laid - back l.a. lifestyle . thomas : how so ? sasha : it 's actually a big step up for me . well , not too long ago , this girl was rocking a burger uniform . thomas : really ? sasha : yeah , it was grease - stained shirts , name tags , hair nets , the whole shebang . thomas : i bet you still looked beautiful . sasha : no , no , no , no , no . not even beyoncé could pull that outfit off . it was awful . thomas : [ laughs ] ahh . activewear , though . you know , maybe that 's something that forrester should look into . i mean , you certainly look gorgeous in it . sasha : well , coming from a designer like you , that 's quite a compliment . wyatt : still no word from steffy . liam : well , she 's still in that meeting with eric . i 'm sure you 'll hear from her soon . unless quinn has steffy locked in a closet somewhere , which is a distinct possibility . wyatt : oh , come on . will you just stop already ? give it a rest , liam ! liam : hey , let me simplify this for you . if you love steffy , then you recognize quinn has to be completely absent from her life , and that is not possible if she 's married to you . steffy : good . i 'm glad you finally realized hiring quinn is a terrible idea . rick : and , dad , we did n't mean to come down on you so hard . we were just worried we were n't getting through to you . ridge : so we 're all in agreement . it 's settled . steffy : it 's time for you to leave , quinn . my grandfather 's made himself clear . pam : so , i 'll walk her out ? ridge : i 'm gon na have charlie make sure she stays off the property . pam : come on , quinn . eric : all right , hang on . i want to finish here . you 're all so important to me , but a man reaches a point in his life when he feels he 's earned the right to make a decision and stand by it . steffy : granddad , what are -- eric : steffy . i 'm sorry to upset you . i really am . but you 've made decisions that i do n't agree with . and i 've supported you . i 've supported you and your wisdom and your knowledge of what you want to do . i 'm asking you to do the same for me now . i enjoy quinn . i enjoy her companionship and i respect her artistic skills and i know that she wants to make big changes in her life . i want to be the person to help her do that . thomas : so , l.a. is your new home . you 're all settled in . you know some cool places to go , you know some cool people -- me . and you 're finally a california girl . how 's it feel ? sasha : it feels like a california girl with a midwestern heart . thomas : ah , best combination . sasha : you know , as much as i 'm loving it , i ca n't imagine ever growing up here , you know ? being a part of such a prestigious family . that must have been a trip , being one of the privileged forresters . thomas : yeah , it was n't always so privileged . sasha : why not ? thomas : do n't get me wrong , you know , i got just about everything that i needed , and i 've had opportunities that i 'm incredibly grateful for . but it 's not healthy to think that you can get everything that you want because you ca n't . sasha : what -- thomas : no matter how hard you try , no matter how hard you push for something , some things are just -- they 're out of your hands . sasha : what could you possibly want that you do n't have ? thomas : my son . i wish he was here . i wish -- i was caroline had n't gone to new york . but i ca n't make her stay . this is what she needed , and i have to respect that . sasha : you really care about her , huh ? thomas : she 's the mother of my child . i -- i told her how i felt . but she was committed to my dad . sasha : uh , well , not anymore . i mean , they 're getting a divorce now . thomas : yeah . and now she 's thousands of miles away . sasha : so , what does that mean for you ? thomas : means i keep moving forward . i have to live my life . wyatt : so , as long as my mother continues to breathe , my marriage is doomed . liam : that -- [ sighs ] that 's not what i 'm saying . wyatt : yes , it is . you said there was no hope for steffy and me . liam : okay , fine . yes , it is . steffy should n't have to deal with this constant threat to her and her family . wyatt : i agree ! that 's why -- there 's only so much i can do , liam ! liam : exactly , wyatt ! that 's my whole point ! you have no control over your mother , and as long as steffy 's with you -- wyatt : just stop ! oh , you 're being so ridiculous right now and totally out of line . and i 'm not gon na stand here and let you `` predict `` the end of my marriage . ridge : dad . you ca n't change her . she 's been like this all her life . eric : do you know how insulting it is for all of you to speak to me like this ? rick : hey , we 're not trying to disrespect you . but you need to understand how concerned and disappointed we are . pam : and afraid for you . afraid for all of us . eric : quinn , i want to say something to you in front of my family . steffy 's right . nothing is more important to me than family . and i 'm going against their better judgment , in a way , here , and maybe even mine , for that matter . and if i 'm wrong ... [ sighs ] if you go back to your old ways , if you begin to scheme or manipulate at all , your employment here at forrester will be over . and our relationship will be over , too . quinn : i understand . eric : this is how we begin . quinn : you have my word . ridge : what ? you 're buying this ? you 're smarter than that , dad ! steffy : she 's on her best behavior . she 's never gon na change . she 's not capable of it . rick : come on , dad . do n't you understand ? it 's just a matter of time -- eric : all right , i 've heard enough . i 've heard enough . i need a moment with my family . quinn : okay . ridge : well , all right . you 've officially lost it . i 'm not gon na let this happen . eric : god , you 're all so concerned about this old man . i 'm the father here . i 'm the grandfather here . i raised you boys , not the other way around . i founded this company 50 years ago . there was nothing here ! and stephanie and i began . we built it into a world - class fashion house . now , i appreciate everything that you have contributed to this company , but i 'm the c.e.o . of this company and i 'm the patriarch of this family , and you will respect me . all of you ! sasha : no , i do n't buy it . i got to be honest . i always imagined that somebody like you grew up with the perfect family and the perfect childhood . no worries , no struggles , just fabulous . thomas : just birds chirping out of my window and a rainbow flowing right on through . sasha : exactly . that 's exactly what i thought . thomas : ah . not the case . sasha : well , i mean , at least you still had your father around . that 's something . thomas : we were never the type to have family dinners on sunday . never went on long road trips together , ever . i swore that i would never do that to my son . i -- i did n't want that for him . but as time goes on , i ca n't help but feel like that 's the case . i love him . i just -- i want him to know that i will always be there for him and his mother . i -- but until then , i have to keep living my life . sasha : yes , you do . and with a little fun . thomas : [ laughs ] `` fun . `` that 's a word i have n't taken part in in a long time . sasha : hmm . well , i guess i 'm just gon na have to change that . wyatt : i 'm not letting you get in my head . liam : i 'm not trying to . wyatt : you know , you wo n't admit it , but you 're just -- you 're hoping that i 'm gon na fail , like i 'll do something to just mess it all up . but you know what ? do n't waste your time because steffy and i are good . liam : [ scoffs ] okay . wyatt : you know , i told my mother to go away , to create a life somewhere else , and she will . she is no longer gon na be a problem for steffy and me . pam : d - do n't touch anything . quinn : [ sighs ] i see not much has changed since my hiatus . pam : you were fired , quinn . quinn : well , i 'm back now . [ chuckles ] i ca n't believe it -- working at forrester again . pam : do n't get ahead of yourself . i 'm sure eric 's family is talking some sense into him right now . quinn : i know how you feel about me , pam . and i know what eric means to you . he 's your brother - in - law . and you feel protective over him . but there 's no reason to protect him . not from me . he 's a wonderful man , and i genuinely care about him . eric : i see that you 're all disappointed . i know what i 'm doing . ridge : no , you do n't know what you 're doing . you 're not thinking straight . that woman is n't gon na be part of our company . she 's not gon na be a part of your life . eric : you think that talking down to me like this , berating me is gon na get you somewhere , ridge ? steffy : we are saying these things because we care about you . rick : we 're trying to protect you . eric : i have feelings for quinn . i can handle this . steffy : you have no idea what you 're getting yourself into ! rick : really , dad . eric : now , you two , please , give me some time with ridge alone , please , will you ? steffy : maybe let 's just -- eric : i asked you to go . i want you to go now . please . rick : that 's fine . i 'm tired of talking about it . ridge : did you hear them ? that was your family pleading with you . eric : it was my family . you want to talk about family , ridge ? okay . i 'm all about family . i 've tried to support you and your kids for years . i even let you displace your brother and maya out of the big house , and i encouraged you and caroline to move in there with that baby of yours . your son . that you lied about , you claimed was yours . you lied to thomas about it . you lied to everybody . you lied to me about that . there have been some changes . there have been things that you 've done that i 've disapproved of . now i 'm doing something that you do n't like . ridge : what are you saying ? eric : i want you out of the house . i want you to pack your things . get out now . ridge : you want me to move out of the house ? eric : you 're old enough to run my life , you 're old enough to find a house of your own . i want my house back . ridge : fair enough . but , tell me -- quinn is not moving in . that 's -- because that 's absurd . eric : you ca n't tell me what do with my life . that 's my house . i want to live in it . ridge : what am i gon na do with you ? you 're not making sense . what , did you lose your mind ? eric : lose my mind ? what am i , some kind of geriatric case to you ? am i a project for you ? ridge : i do n't know who you are anymore . my father would n't do this . not to the family . and not to me . eric : get out . you 're dismissed . ridge : you 're not getting away with this . wyatt : hey . you got my text . are you okay ? steffy : i -- i am so furious right now . wyatt : steffy , what happened ? what did eric say ? steffy : he asked -- he asked me , he asked rick , he asked my father to go into his office ... wyatt : yeah . steffy : ... and we reiterated how much we did n't want quinn in his life , that we wanted it to be over . wyatt : well , he already did that -- he ended things . it 's over between them . steffy : it 's not over . wyatt : no , eric broke things off in monte carlo . he told me himself . steffy : no . quinn was in my grandfather 's office . wyatt : what ? steffy : my grandfather hired her back at forrester creations . quinn : is the coast clear ? eric : yeah , come in . i 'm sorry you had to hear all that . quinn : well ... you 're at odds with your family . it must be taking its toll . eric : i stand by my decision . quinn : yes , but they are worried about you . and i do n't blame them . eric : i do n't want their concern . i want their respect . i demand it . quinn : and you deserve it . [ chuckles ] i -- i ca n't believe this is all happening . it 's so exciting and unexpected . you know , we are going to get the acceptance and the happiness of your family and my son . eric : i already have happiness . i 'm in charge again . i 'm happy and i 'm strong . i have n't felt like this in years . come to the house tonight . quinn : but ridge is gon na be there . eric : no , no . it 's all right . do n't worry about the kids . it 'll just be you and me . we 'll have dinner . we 'll get a little drunk . we 'll celebrate your return to forrester . what do you say ? and maybe a surprise . quinn : a surprise ? eric : yes . quinn : uh , what is it ? i 'm just -- i 'm not used to surprises . at least none that are any good . eric : well , hopefully , you 'll think that this is a good surprise . quinn : [ chuckles ] i ca n't believe this is happening to me . eric : we 'll make this a night you 'll never forget . how does that sound ? quinn : it sounds so good . steffy : your mother is targeting my grandfather . she needs to be stopped . | pam tells eric to listen to his family . they are all against quinn with him or her coming back to fc . sasha flirts with thomas and says the word on the street is that he is a pretty thoughtful guy and she is grateful that he has her back . she is not taking her life for granted at all . it was n't long ago that she wore a burger uniform . he says she is doing an amazing job . she even makes workout clothes look great ; perhaps something fc should look into . she continues to praise him and his prestigious background . he says yes he is grateful but it is n't all that it is cracked up to be . they end up talking about caroline and how much he misses her . she is getting divorced but thousands of miles away . liam and wyatt continue to argue with liam saying quinn can never stay away from steffy as long as she is married to wyatt . wyatt tells him to quit . he is not going to stand here and listen to liam condemn the end of his marriage . eric tells them that they are all important in his life but there is an age when a man has to decide for himself and he has earned that right to do what he wants to do . he enjoys quinn and he admires her artistic skills , and he wants to help her more . but he tells quinn that his family is right he 's heard enough and he wants quinn to know that if she goes back to her manipulations and schemes then she will be terminated and their relationship will be over . he excuses quinn when the others begin to mouth off again . he tells his family that he raised them , not the other way around . he is the ceo of this company now and they will respect him and his decisions . sasha tells thomas that she can not imagine anything but a perfect life for him . he says no , there were no road trips and no fancy sunday dinners and he wants that for his son . she says he needs fun in his life and she will just have to change that . wyatt tells liam not to waste his time ; he and steffy are good . quinn is no longer a problem for her . pam tells quinn to keep her paws off the lemon bars . she was fired and she bets eric is having to listen again to his family to get rid of her . |
eric : she has a concussion . quinn : yeah ! eric : because of you . quinn : no , i 'm not taking all the blame for this . sheila : i -- you know , i do n't want to cause any trouble . i just -- i just want to go back to my hotel room . eric : the doctor says she ca n't be left alone . quinn : yeah , but she wo n't be alone ! send her to a hospital ! if you 're really that bad off , is n't that where you should be ?

bill : you know my niece . if she , uh , sets her mind to something , she usually gets it . brooke : takes after her uncle . bill : [ chuckles ] brooke : there 's a prime example right there . liam : why ?

sally : i can do the next line myself . spectra has momentum , thomas or no thomas . please , just me one more chance . liam : an additional $ 5 million ? bill : in an offshore account , tax - free . should have seen cj 's ears perk up . the guys should never play poker . brooke : [ giggles ] wow . you and that building . the lengths you 'll go to get it built . liam : oh , you have no idea . sheila : look , i do n't -- i do n't need to go to a hospital , but when someone has suffered a concussion , it 's best to make -- quinn : to hire a nurse , right ? round - the - clock care . that 's exactly what we 'll do . far , far away from here . sheila : eric , i do n't -- i do n't want you to go through the expense . if it 's -- if it 's a problem , me being here , than i just -- i want to leave , okay ? i want to leave . eric : it 's not . quinn : eric ! have you forgotten what this woman has done to you and your family ? eric : of course not ! the things i went through with her , you have no idea . i will always remember . quinn : then why ? eric : because it 's the right thing to do . look , when i needed someone , sheila was there recently . she was there , and now i just want to -- i just want to pay her back . quinn : what ? eric ! eric : she stays here until she recovers . sheila : thank you . thank you very much . liam : no building is worth the lie you 're telling . you know that . bill : a little white lie so we can all get what we want -- me , caroline . everyone benefits . liam : not sally . cj : if thomas is still on board , then why did he leave at such a critical time ? sally : he has obligations . cj : yes . he 's a father . i get that . but you can still be a dad and put pencil to paper . sally : eventually . when he 's ready , he will come back , but we need to make sure we at least have a place for him to come back to . i can do this , cj . i can build off what we started in monaco . cj : yes , but this place is my future , too . you keep forgetting that . why risk it ? why ? when there 's a chance to ... sally : to what ? sell out ? that is not how aunt sally raised you . please , cj . come on , spectra is on the verge of something really big . cj : sally , you have been saying that for months . sally : the only bad review we had was manipulated by bill . we have had one success after another ever since . this is not the time to jump off of the spectra train . no ! this is the time to sit back and just let it ride out ! do n't take that offer from bill . not when your very talented , very motivated cousin is offering you something way better . monthly rent checks for the rest of your life . it is a no - brainer , cj . you know what you have to do . quinn : agh ! [ grunts ] [ grunting ] [ grunts ] [ thud , glass shatters ] sheila : thank you . eric : you okay ? sheila : mm - hmm . eric : all right . there 's fresh towels in here , in the bathroom . sheila : great . eric : and , uh , help yourself to anything in the kitchen that you want . sheila : thank you . thank you . eric : i should show you how to use the intercom here . sheila : eric . i remember how to use the intercom . eric : yes . of course you do . i 'm gon na check in on quinn , see how she 's doing . call if you need anything . sheila : eric , wait . i really appreciate what you 're doing . eric : it 's no problem . sheila : no , it is a problem , for quinn . she -- she hates me . she think i 'm faking this concussion . she practically demanded that you kick me out . eric : i think she 's a little threatened by you , sheila . but you 're not a threat , are you ? certainly not to our marriage . sheila : i ca n't imagine anyone taking me in after all that i 've done . eric : you were helpful to me . i -- i can do the same for you . sheila : it 's not that you brought me into your home , eric . it 's that you believed me . it 's helping me believe in myself . eric : good night , sheila . sheila : good night . shirley : cj barely looked at me as he walked out . is that a bad sign ? sally : i think he just has a lot to think about . saul : did you get through to him at all ? sally : i tried , but he 's seriously concerned about thomas not being here anymore . darlita : oh , my gosh . do we all have crushes on that man ? saul : that 's not -- that 's not really why cj 's concerned . [ sighs ] shirley : wait just one second . would having thomas here sway cj ? sally : i think so . shirley : well , then , what are you waiting for ? get lover boy on the phone and tell him to make a beeline back here to the best coast ! sally : i ca n't . darlita : it 's easy , sal . i 'll teach you . all you have to do is press 1 before you dial . sally : pressuring him is not the answer right now , okay ? he will come back whenever he 's able to , but until then , we have to do this on our own . liam : well , i told steffy . bill : of course you did . and ? liam : and she talked me into keeping quiet for now . bill : i told you she 'd see the wisdom of this .

hope : [ chuckles ] i mean , there 's a gift receipt if you need to exchange it . steffy : why would i do that ? it 's adorable . hope : i thought so , too . but , you know , there is such a thing as parents that think there is too much plush . steffy : uh , not this parent . you know , you did n't have to drive all the way out here . i 'm gon na be at the office at some point today . hope : actually , i wanted to run something by you . steffy : i 'm guessing it 's not about work . hope : it 's , um ... about us . so , blended families , i mean , unconventional families , are usually the result of unforeseen circumstances . so , our children are gon na have three parents to love and protect them , and we will do our best to make it feel like one family instead of two . and i just thought , you know , maybe we could start setting that example not only for our children , but for everyone else to see . you know , starting now . steffy : what is that ? hope : it 's an invitation . and i - i understand if it 's too much to ask , but i would be happy and honored to have you at our wedding . and i know liam would , too . wyatt : you ca n't be serious . liam : of course i 'm serious . wyatt : if hope sees me at the altar , she 'll run . or worse , she 'll sic her mother on me . liam : oh , come on . come on . hope has not said one word against you . wyatt : was i lured here under false pretenses ? like ... liam : what ? wyatt : am i -- am i being punked right now ? i thought you said you were cooking me breakfast . liam : i did cook you breakfast.-i got vegetable hash on the stove right now . wyatt : i thought you said you were cooking me breakfast . liam : okay . all right . listen . listen . if you say no , if you turn me down , if you 're not my best man , you know who i have to ask ? wyatt : who ? liam : dad . brooke : the problem is liam . ridge : i could n't agree more . brooke : no , that he 's a vegetarian , i mean . you have to think of the bride and groom 's tastes , but you also have to be mindful of the guests . so ... ridge : so just order roast beef . everybody likes that . and then you tell liam that it 's roast soybean beef or something . brooke : ha , ha . joke all you want . but someday you might have to plan a wedding . ridge : i have planned a wedding . i just ca n't help thinking that it 's ...

liam : yes ! i do n't eat bacon ! how many times -- wyatt : no , i 'm saying the wedding . liam : yeah , of course . of course i am . wyatt : because you seem half - hearted . like half your heart 's being left behind with steffy . liam : hey , you know what , maybe this time , as best man , you should just , like , hand me the ring . wyatt : oh , my god . like ... okay , fine . let 's just say , if you could marry both women , would you ? liam : uh , there 's no fantasy of mine which involves a harem . wyatt : okay . let 's say you did n't have to marry either one of them , right , but you could have a home with steffy and kelly , and then you could also have a home here with hope and the baby . and you spend a week there , a week or two here . would you ? liam : [ scoffs ] the world we live in does n't work that way , man . wyatt : i 'm just asking . for fun , okay ? if you could , would you ? liam : okay . you know what people do n't seem to understand , including you , apparently ... wyatt : what ? liam : ... is it 's not just about who i want to be with . it 's about who i want to be . steffy : sorry . when she 's hungry , she wo n't wait . hope : [ chuckles ] sometimes i 'll wonder if i 'll know what to do , when to do it . steffy : oh , i was so scared . but you 'll get it . kelly lets me know when she 's happy and when she 's not . hope : a girl who knows what she wants , just like her mom . steffy : i do n't know about that . i 've made some pretty bad choices about what would make me happy . hope : well , i suppose we all have at some point . steffy : mm , no . not you . you 've always had one vision for your future . and now it 's coming true . hope : well , you had a lot to do with it . steffy : well , it was n't intentional . but i suppose i have . hope : look , that 's what i ca n't stand . i mean , we all agreed on this together , one united front . and if -- if this comes out wrong , i 'm sorry . but if there is someone there at that wedding who 's thinking that i somehow won and you lost , i mean , that 's -- that 's unacceptable . steffy : but you did . hope : i hope you do n't mean that . i mean , steffy , this was your choice . steffy : yeah , but you know why i had to make that choice . hope : and that 's why i think it 's important for you to be there . at our wedding . so that everyone can see that this is the path that we have chosen for ourselves . this is not about winning or losing . this is about us and our family coming together . steffy : all right . you 're right . i 'll be there . hope : thank you . but i 'm gon na need some moral support . you mind if i bring someone ? hope : sure . are you -- do you mean ... ? steffy : oh , no . kelly -- i do n't really want her around crowds just yet . but , um , my mom 's in town . hope : of course . thank you -- steffy : tank you . hope : [ giggles ] ... for accepting to come to the wedding . and i -- i know it 's not gon na be easy , but , you know , we 'll -- we 'll get through it . we are family . wyatt : yeah , it 's true . you 're a different person with hope than you are with steffy . like , she bosses you around more . liam : what ? steffy does n't -- steffy does n't boss me around . wyatt : okay . she 's ... decisive . if that 's how you want to put it , fine . and hope 's a little more like , `` well , whatever you want , sweetheart . `` liam : you 're making it sound like hope defers to me . she just -- she just wants to know what i 'm thinking . wyatt : and that 's a good thing , though , right ? liam : well , it requires me to know what i 'm thinking , which i do n't , ever . why ? do you ? wyatt : you 're the man . you got to at least fake it . liam : oh , you know who has that philosophy ? dad . wyatt : ugh . liam : he could have put zero thought into something whatsoever , and yet he just -- he declares it like it was sent down from the heavens . you -- you -- you take after him that way . wyatt : no , i do n't ! how ? liam : would you consider yourself a thoughtful person ? wyatt : am i full of thoughts ? yes . i am full of profound , original things at all times . i do n't have as much quiet time as you do while you 're changing your tofu water . liam : why is it that when someone wants to insult me , all they can think to say is `` tofu `` ? wyatt : because it 's fun . and here is another one of my semi - profound thoughts -- steffy does n't boss you around , but she is the one who decided that you should marry hope . not you . [ microwave beeping ] and my bacon 's done . liam : i 'm not touching your bacon ! wyatt : you should try it ! [ door opens ] brooke : oh [ sighs ] honey . hope : hey . brooke : what do you think of when i say `` shrimp skewers `` ? hope : uh ... ugh . i do n't know . brooke : you and liam really are a perfect pair . hope : why ? did it come up with the caterers ? brooke : okay , wait . so yes to shrimp , but only as brochettes , right ? hope : i mean , will anyone really know the difference ? brooke : what are you doing home ? hope : mom , i still live here . and i am trying to plan a wedding . brooke : honey , the wedding 's already planned , and i 'm trying to figure out the shrimp . hope : well , i am sure the shrimp will work itself out . but in the meantime , um , can we add two names to the guest list ? brooke : [ sighs ] yeah . i think so . let me see . okay . what 's the first name ? hope : steffy . brooke : you ca n't be serious . hope : why not ? brooke : is n't it obvious ? hope : i mean , not to me . and it 's my wedding . so could you add her name to the list ? taylor : so , when she wakes up , can i hold her ? steffy : of course . you know i 'm counting on you to devote your future to babysitting , right ? taylor : oh , i do n't know about that . i 'm not so sure that 's me . then again , i 'm not sure who `` me `` is these days , so ... uh , is that what you need ? are you going somewhere ? steffy : oh , no . but , um ... i have a different favor to ask . hope was here earlier . taylor : seriously ? she took your ring and the father of your baby . what more does she want ? steffy : no , no , mom , okay ? it was my decision , and i know you do n't agree with it , but you really need to accept it . taylor : well , acceptance does n't happen overnight . steffy : [ sighs ] taylor : so , uh , what caused hope to darken your door ? steffy : hope has an idea . it 's a little idealistic , but it 's beautiful , too . she wants to start right away , trying to embody the extended family we know our children deserve . taylor : okay . so , what form does she think this `` kumbaya `` moment should take ? steffy : she invited me to her wedding . i 'm going . taylor : [ scoffs ] like hell you are ! liam : listen , steffy took a step back , she re - evaluated her life . and i got to tell you , i admire the decisions she 's been making , putting herself and -- and kelly first . wyatt : for sure . i - i agree with you . i just -- i do n't know . i ca n't stop thinking about how the last time you tried to get married to hope went down . like it was all predicated on -- on dad 's lies . and he manipulated us . if he had n't have done that , like , your life would have been with steffy and kelly . and you would n't be getting married to hope , and there would n't be a baby on the way . i know this is n't the best best - man pep talk , i 'm just -- i 'm trying to be real with you . liam : i 'm not denying it . it 's complicated . but ... i really do want to marry hope . wyatt : i know that . and i 'm not trying to dissuade you from doing that . i do n't know . i ca n't stop thinking about how different your life would have been if it were n't for dad . and how different steffy and kelly 's life would have been , too . taylor : steffy , hope wants to park you in the front row and use you as a prop to show everybody how magnanimous she is . and , what , you 're just supposed to sit there and watch as she steals your husband , just as brooke did to me over and over again ? steffy : okay , it 's not pleasant . but hope 's right in principle . taylor : oh , please . she is nothing but brooke 's clone , decked out in virtue instead of lingerie . steffy : mom , stop . this is n't easy for hope . i 'm the one who screwed up . she did nothing wrong . taylor : no . she wanted revenge for whatever imaginary injury she thought you did to her in the past . and she set her sights on your little girl 's father . steffy : liam proposed to her . hope 's not imagining anything . taylor : you know , none of this would have even happened if it had n't been for bill spencer . steffy : nobody 's innocent . not me . not bill . and certainly not you . taylor : okay , no . honey , i know . i 've already apologized in every way i know how . steffy : [ sighs ] there 's something more i need from you . i 'm going to the wedding , mom , and no one 's gon na know what to say to me . i do n't -- i do n't want to be there alone . i 'd like for you to come with me . i 've already cleared it with hope . taylor : i 'm sorry . i just ca n't even believe liam would be willing to let this happen . did hope say that he wants you there ? what ... ? steffy : i do n't know . no . i do n't know . taylor : oh . of course not . this is coming from brooke . brooke : honey , this is your wedding day . finally . your now and forever . and we do n't want to take any chances . hope : steffy is not going to cause a disturbance . i mean , not any more . brooke : that 's what everybody said about her mother , the famous psychiatrist . hope : well , speaking of taylor -- brooke : just call steffy back and say that you are asking too much . i ca n't imagine she 'd want to come , anyway . hope : no , she agrees . if we intend to be a family , then it 's time we come together and start acting like one . brooke : okay , well , then , you can do that at thanksgiving . but not on your wedding day . not when you and liam are finally gon na become husband and wife . there is no time for critics and for surprises and rivals . hope : mom . [ brooke sighs ] i invited her . and she accepted . so can you please help me make her feel welcome ? brooke : [ sighs ] okay . um ... all right . look , if we 're gon na add those people to the list , then i -- i need to call the caterers right away . so . who 's the second person ? hope : her mother . brooke : what ? hope : steffy asked if she could bring her mother , and i said yes . brooke : no . that is a recipe for disaster , and we 've had way too many of those . hope : mom , it 's the decent thing to do . it 's the right thing to do . and , you know , it 's done . brooke : hope , it can be undone . we 'll just tell them that there 's not enough food , or we ca n't fit them on the guest list . i do n't know . come up with whatever excuse that works for you . but you know what , i am not going to have those two people at your wedding and ruin your special day . steffy may behave . but her mother , she will cause a scene . steffy : mom ? you had my support when you needed it . now i 'm asking for yours . taylor : sweetheart , you are asking me to cooperate in humiliating you . steffy : no . no , i 've made my own decisions . i 've made my own mistakes . i own it all , and nobody can shame me . including you . i want you to come with me to the wedding . but not if you 're gon na interfere . promise me you won't . i mean it , mom . promise me you wo n't cause any trouble at hope and liam 's wedding . . . . his wife and their unborn baby . | hope goes to see steffy who is home for a while . she brings her a baby gift of a stuffed rabbit . but the main reason is she wanted to give her an invitation to her wedding . they are going to be a blended family and she would like it to start now . she knows it is unconventional but they will have children that will have three parents instead of two and she thinks they can show their children they are one family and not two . they can set an example to their children they are comfortable with this and others will see it as well that they are fine . steffy is pretty silent and hope says perhaps she is surprised but she would be happy and honored if steffy would come and she knows liam would too . she knows there has been jealousy and resentment in the past between them but she would like to put that aside and build on this . steffy says she would too but she did not know they had already set a date and it might just be too soon . hope tells her that it was her choice . steffy says yes but she knows the reason . hope says all the more reason she needs to be there and let everyone see this is the choice she made . this is not about winning or losing but their families coming together . finally steffy says okay , she will come , but she will need moral support . she does not mean a date , she wants her mother there also . hope thanks her and says she knows this will not be easy but they are family and will all get through it . brooke is working on the wedding plans and teasing ridge that he has to be on his best behavior . liam asks wyatt to be his best man after asking him over for breakfast .although he does not do bacon . he has vegetable hash on the stove . wyatt does not try to talk him out of marrying but just to be sure now is the right time after the last delay . liam grumbles that if he turns him down then he has to ask his dad ! wyatt does not want that so finally agrees that of course he will be his best man and be there to protect him . |
donna : oh , i just ca n't take my eyes off her ! katie : mm ! donna : she 's the logan girls club newest and most adorable member . katie : [ laughs ] yes ! brooke : do you hear that , beth , how your aunts shamelessly are fawning all over you ? donna : speaking of which , i think we have to make a run to the toy store one day very soon and get sweet little beth anything her heart desires , right ? katie : and we 'll just charge it to grandpa bill , of course . donna : mm - hmm . katie : [ giggles ] yes ! we will ! donna : oh , yeah ! she said , `` yeah , yeah ! `` hope : remember the last time we welcomed a logan woman into our family ? uncle storm 's daughter ? yeah , you remember how excited we were that flo was one of us ? i still ca n't believe what she did to me . to my daughter . it 's okay , sweetheart . flo : mom , this is crazy -- sneaking in like this ? shauna : you said that you wanted to face hope . flo : yeah , but not by breaking and entering ! shauna : oh , honey , do n't be silly . the door was unlocked , and you heard the gardener . hope and beth went up to the main house , so they should n't be long . in the meantime , i really want you to practice what you 're gon na say to hope on me . flo : i do n't know what i 'm gon na say to hope , mom . i mean , there are n't words to convey how sorry i feel . shauna : you have to try ! hope is a good person , and maybe she will just -- flo : she 's gon na what , be able to look at me and tell me not to go to hell ? really ? shauna : baby , hope would never do that . flo : well , she should because i 've been in , for these last few months , anyway , my own personal hell . i would n't blame hope and her family if they just erased me from their lives forever . donna : oh , i think a little baby 's getting very hungry because she 's -- i 'm not sure . [ laughter ] hope : you know , i do think -- i 'm so sorry , but it might be time for her to go back to the cabin . katie : aww . hope : yeah , she has had a very big day , have n't you , sweetie ? donna : oh ! katie : bye - bye ! hope : so say good night to your aunties ! katie : bye - bye ! [ laughter ] hope : yes , and ... say goodbye to your beautiful grandma . brooke : goodbye , sweetie . goodbye , sweetie . hope : bye . brooke : [ giggles ] hope : all right , see you later . brooke : [ sighs ] donna : oh , i know you guys tease me sometimes about being overly emotional , but ... [ cries ] seeing hope and beth like that , mother and daughter reunited , it 's just -- who would have thought that just a few days ago , we would have had this kind of a joy ? katie : i know , i keep on tearing up , too , and you 're not helping things . donna : i 'm sorry ! katie : [ laughs ] brooke : hope has been through a hard time , but that 's all behind her now . and nothing or nobody is going to ruin the joy that she and beth are experiencing at this moment . donna : [ giggles ] katie : [ laughs ] shauna : honey , i know you 're on pins and needles , but you got to stop assuming the worst . flo : mom , what i did is unforgivable . and i lied about it for months ! the fact that hope has n't even had me arrested yet is just -- shauna : honey , i do n't think she 's gon na go that far . hope is not vindictive . just talk to her . tell her how much you 've been suffering , too . flo : oh , my god , mom . you ca n't possibly compare what i 've been through to what she 's been through ! shauna : well , of course not ! but i know how tortured you 've been wanting to tell her the truth . just explain to her . hope : a - b - cs shauna : that 's them . i 'm gon na slip out the back . good luck , baby . [ beth coos ] hope : [ laughs ] all right . welcome home , baby girl ! what was that ? oh , you want to hear your favorite story ? the one about the handsome princess and their precious baby girl ? [ beth coos ] yeah ! i like that one , too . [ giggles ] especially the happily - ever - after part . because when they happen , they 're the best . like the one we 're living right now . [ beth coos ] yeah , you , me , and your daddy . [ sighs ] i can never thank god enough for bringing you back to us . flo : hope . hope : [ gasps ] donna : i was thinking , maybe we should have a party for beth and hope and liam . you know , a big family celebration for them . katie : i 'm sure they would love that , but maybe we should wait . i mean , as happy as we all are , we still have steffy to think about . brooke : yeah , that 's true . i mean , steffy did lose a daughter , so i think we need to give her a little time . donna : god , i could just strangle zoe 's father . i mean , if he and flo had n't done this in the first place , none of this would have happened . shauna : my daughter never meant to hurt anyone . brooke : [ scoffs ] what are you doing here ? donna : look , if -- if you 've come to unburden yourself to the rest of the family , katie and i already know the whole ugly story . shauna : i will say it again , i am very , very sorry . katie : [ scoffs ] wow . donna : [ scoffs ] shauna : at least hope 's been reunited with her little girl . brooke : you and flo would have kept your sick secret if it were n't for douglas and liam . you would have done everything to protect yourselves . shauna : i did n't want my daughter to go to jail . katie : that 's how you 're justifying these disgusting lies and deception ? shauna : i 'm not trying to justify anything , but you have to understand -- brooke : i 'll tell you what i understand . my daughter suffered something that nobody should ever have to suffer , and you and flo -- you stood by silently . you could have said three little words -- `` beth is alive . `` but you did n't because you did n't want to get in trouble . katie : where 's flo ? donna : we thought being a logan meant something to her . but obviously it did n't because she betrayed hope and this entire family in the worst possible way . brooke : where is she ? shauna : down at the cabin with hope and beth . brooke : [ scoffs ] hope : how did you get in here ? flo : the door was unlocked , and the gardener said that you were up at the main house . hope : no . no . you know what , you should go . okay ? i do not want to do this in front of my daughter . flo : she looks so happy . i wanted to see this for so long , your -- your daughter , finally in her mother 's arms , and now she is . you probably do n't believe that , but it -- but it 's true . seeing you holding her , knowing that she 's here with her real family , it -- it makes me so happy . i am so sorry for the part that i played in this . because of what i did , you were -- you were robbed of months with your little girl . but now you have her , and now -- now you can finally start to make all those memories that -- that you missed . hope : you know what , i 'm gon na put beth down . okay ? you stay here . flo : hope ? hope : yeah . flo : my name is flo . flo fulton . there 's something that i need to tell you . hope : we were pregnant at the same time . flo : there is something that you do n't know about me . there is something -- there 's something that i need to tell you . hope : you said i was robbed . and i was . you stole my little girl from me . you stole those first few moments that a mother should have with her child , and i -- actually , no . no , you were n't there on catalina that night , so you did n't start this disgusting deception , but you perpetuated it by not coming to me the moment that you found out the truth , and as far as i 'm concerned , that makes you part of the cruelty to begin with . how could you ? how could you do that to me ? how could you do that to beth , your own flesh and blood ? how could you , flo ? how could do something so heartless ? katie : you can not be serious . donna : flo is with hope right now ? brooke : hope is spending every moment with her daughter , making up for lost time . if flo 's gon na go down there and intrude on that -- katie : i think that flo has taken enough from hope and beth . shauna : you do n't think flo realizes that ? donna : [ scoffs ] brooke : we do n't know what she realizes . we thought we knew her . we thought we could see our brother in her , his goodness and his decency , but obviously she is nothing like him ! shauna : my daughter is a sweet , loving girl that got caught up into something that she could n't get herself out of . katie : oh , for the love -- are you kidding me ? no one was holding a gun to her head ! shauna : no , not literally.| but the pressure she was under from reese , and then thomas ... brooke : oh , stop . stop ! we 're not gon na do this with you . obviously you will do or say anything to protect your daughter , but i 'm telling you , shauna ... if she 's down there and she does anything to upset hope ... shauna : she won't . she just wants to see hope with beth and then try to explain -- katie : explain what ? ! that she pretended to care about hope and empathize over her loss ? all the while , she knew that steffy was raising hope 's daughter ? shauna : i told you , it was n't like that . katie : it was exactly like that . and , from what i understand , you did nothing -- nothing ! flo just got in deeper and deeper because she did n't want to deal with the ramifications of her part in this disgusting secret ! well , the secret has been exposed , and so have you and your daughter . brooke : i think we should go down there . flo 's done enough damage already , and hope should n't have to deal with this , at all . donna : no , she shouldn't . but , then again , maybe it 'll be cathartic for her , to be able to look her cousin straight in the eye and tell her what it feels like to be so horribly betrayed by somebody you love ... somebody you thought loved you . somebody who 's part of the family ... ... who does n't deserve to be . hope -- hope : don't . not a word . when i first met you at bikini , and you were bartending , and you overheard me talking to my aunt katie about that horrific night on catalina ... and after she left , you came up to me and you introduced yourself and told me how sorry you were for my loss . and , at the time , i did n't know what to think of it . this stranger inserting herself into my tragedy . but then , you know , zoe came up and told me that you were phoebe 's birth mother . and then it all made sense . you had lost your daughter , too , and that shared tragedy was an instant connection . it was a bond that we shared that got stronger and stronger , and then you found out you were a logan . and we became even closer . so now ... when i look back and i see the countless times when you could have told me the truth , when you could have turned my despair into joy , and you didn't ... no , instead you just kept insisting that i should try for another baby with liam , that things would get better , that i should keep carrying on . but do n't you understand ? i could n't even begin to think about another child because i wanted my beth ! i wanted my child ! i wanted my baby , the one that i gave birth to ! the one that i now know was stolen from me . and you ... said ... nothing . my own cousin ! someone that i thought ... actually cared about me . but i was wrong . i have never been more wrong about anything in my entire life . at pier 1 , the color is calm eucalyptus . shauna : maybe this is n't my place to say this , but if i were you , i would definitely be more concerned about thomas than flo . brooke : thomas is none of your concern . shauna : i realize that , but -- katie : no one wants to hear it , okay ? you have zero credibility when it comes to this family . shauna : fine . but , you know what , i want to remind you , flo did n't plan this with reese . he used her . donna : still , she should have exposed him the minute she found out . shauna : he would n't allow her ! he pressured her to stay quiet . and so did thomas . and he actually threatened my daughter . katie : and where were you in all of this ? donna : yeah . why did n't you step in , do something ? shauna : i did do something . unfortunately , it was the wrong something . and , yes , i gave my daughter bad advice to stay quiet , and obviously i am regretting that now . brooke : well , it does n't really matter . flo can plead her case all she wants , but my daughter is not going to forgive her for what she did . hope : my whole world was turned upside - down . i ended my marriage . steffy was raising beth . my daughter was being called by a different name . flo : i know . i would really like it if you could just let me try to explain . hope : i do n't want to hear your explanations . i do n't want to hear another one of your apologies . flo : just hear me out , and then i 'll leave . you never have to see me again if you do n't want to , i promise . i know that anything i say , it 's just gon na sound like an excuse , i know that . but i swear , hope ... if i had really known what reese had going on , i never would have gotten involved . but i didn't . i did n't know . and he was a friend . and he said he needed a favor , and i said yes . i had no idea that he was capable of doing something so horrible . yes . i posed as the birth mother , and i signed fake adoption papers . but i did n't know what was really going on until all of it had gone too far . and then when i learned the truth and i met you ... god , i wanted to tell you the truth so many times . but i didn't . and then i learned that i was a logan . and i was a part of this amazing family , and i -- i found love again with wyatt , and it was -- it was like everything was perfect . i was living in this dream . but none of it mattered . none of it mattered because all i could think about every single day was this secret . i deserve to go to prison for what i did . and i -- i hate myself for hurting you , hope . i hate myself for hurting every single person involved . i just want you to know that -- despite all the terrible things that i have done , i will always cherish being a logan woman . i really do love you . i always will . no matter what happens to me . and i know that this is a lot to ask , and it 's -- it 's crazy for me to even be here right now , but ... is there any way that you can try to forgive me ? i mean , i will spend the rest of my days trying to make it up to you if i can . please , hope . is there any way you can find it in your heart to forgive me ? please . | the logan sisters fawn over baby beth . donna suggests they will have to go to the toy store soon and let her pick out anything she wants . katie adds and charge it to grandpa bill . hope happens to mention the last time they welcomed a logan into the family it was flo and she still can not believe she did that to her . shauna slips into the cabin followed by flo who does not want to go . shauna tells her she needed to explain to hope what happened and she will accept it because she is family . the gardener said hope was at the main house and the door was unlocked so they are not doing anything wrong . hope returns home soon and shauna hears her coming and sneaks out the back door but flo runs to the bedroom . hope is holding and listening to beth coo when flo walks out startles hope . flo tells her she got in because the door was unlocked . hope says she does not want to do this in front of beth so flo should leave . meanwhile shauna walks in on the logan ladies . katie assures her they know the whole bloody mess so do not even try to redeem what she and flo have done by knowing the truth and not reporting it . too late , but shauna says she is so sorry . and flo is at the cabin now to talk to hope . when flo does not leave , hope tells her she is going to put beth down , flo stay here . then she rails into her how she did this to her own flesh and blood , how could she ? she had months and months to tell hope and show her where her baby was . katie tells shauna that she has taken enough from hope and flo has no right to be there to dump more on her . katie says this disgusting secret has been exposed and there is nothing flo can say now to explain her part in it despite her wanting to blame it on reese and thomas . brooke adds and if flo does one thing to upset hope they will pay for it . shauna says she wo n't . she only wants to see hope with beth and try to explain . katie says there is no way she can . |

[ scene_break ] ridge : steffy , you and i need to talk , but not in front of a man with his own agenda of getting your shares of forrester . bill : i 'm prepared to pay steffy very handsomely for those shares . ridge : there are things more important than money , spencer . bill : hmm . like loyalty to daddy ? the same daddy who shoves you aside for a wife who is never far from her next scandal ? steffy : bill , i know you 're salivating over my 25 % . i also know you 'll do whatever i need to clear my name , even speak to my father , and i will always be grateful for that . but my dad is my dad . dad , there are things that i need to talk to you about , so i 'm going with you now . but if that means going back for more of the same and nothing will change , then this will have been a waste of time for both of us .

[ birds chirping ] steffy : a video ? ivy has a video ? thomas : taken from her car at the scene of the accident . steffy : and you 're certain of this ? thomas : i 've seen it . steffy : so , it shows that i 'm defending myself . thomas : that 's not what it shows . steffy : okay . w - what 's on it ? thomas : you ... hitting aly with the tire iron . steffy : what ? ! thomas : to ivy ... that looks like murder . ivy : do you think they noticed ? wyatt : noticed what ? ivy : well , in the meeting today -- us , you and me ? wyatt : what , did they notice there 's a little `` something `` going on ? ivy : yes , a little something . wyatt : does that bother you if they notice that ? ivy : no ! no , not at all , not in the slightest . i actually think it 's a really good decoy . wyatt : oh , is that what it is , a decoy ? i 'm a decoy now . that 's great . ivy : well , that and a whole lot of other things . wyatt : [ sighs ] they think that my siding with you is personal , and it is . but it 's more than that . you deserve this . ivy : the new face of forrester ? wyatt : why not ? you are talented . you are smart . you 're beautiful . and you are a forrester . ivy : you know what ? we have been overlooked . wyatt : yeah . ivy : it 's got to stop . wyatt : mm - hmm . ivy : and this footage ? it 's our insurance policy . ridge : how about something like this ? caroline : ooh ! ooh , where did that come from ? ridge : the mind of a genius . caroline : oh , is there one of those in here ? [ knock on door ] ridge : two of them , apparently . what 's up ? charlotte : pam has us passing around this card . kristina : it 's for josie down in the cutting room . she had a baby . ridge : oh , cool . caroline : yeah . she brought the baby in earlier , and she 's so cute . ridge : mmm . charlotte : we saw you holding her . caroline : oh , my gosh , those cheeks . and those eyes , they were just looking up at me . i did n't want to let her go . kristina : thank you . caroline : mm - hmm . kristina : she 's gon na love this ! ridge : so , let 's finish this . caroline : yes , we should . so , the question is , who 's going to be wearing it ? are you really considering ivy as the new face of forrester ? caroline : i do understand where wyatt 's coming from . ridge : no , i do , too . he found himself a new girlfriend , and now he wants to be her cheerleader . five minutes ago , it was all about steffy . that 's what he was telling me . so , i do n't know what it is . he 's just bitter about how things worked out ? caroline : no , i think it 's more than that . he did -- he did bring up some valid points , mainly about the confrontation between steffy and aly . ridge : confrontation ? aly tried to kill steffy , and she 's lucky to be alive . caroline : i know that . i do . but unfortunately people are going to talk , and they 're gon na ask questions . so , it may not be a bad idea for steffy to lay low and fly under the radar for a little bit and just let ivy step up . ivy : thomas knows i have the video . he 's going to convince ridge to choose me . wyatt : it 's a bold move . ivy : look . i know it sounds cold , like i 'm using aly 's death to advance my career . wyatt : no , but you 're not . you 're not doing that , right ? aly 's gone . she was your best friend . you 're just -- you 're trying to get what you deserve , you know , and she would want that for you . i want that for you . you 've earned this , ivy . ivy : yeah . hey , um , i 've got to get going . wyatt : where are you going ? ivy : uh ... i 'm gon na go see aly . wyatt : wh -- steffy : [ exhales ] i ca n't believe this . why ? how ? so , her best friend is on the side of the road , going crazy . and so , she just decides to record it ? ! thomas : i do n't have the answers , steff . i only know what she showed me . steffy : i was trying to get through to aly . thomas : that part was n't on the video . steffy : of course . of course . oh , my god . so , she 's blackmailing us . she 's threatening to go to the police ? thomas : yes . steffy : so much for ms . sweet and innocent . i 'm not going to let her threaten me . i was fighting for my life . thomas : that 's not what it looks like . steffy : i was defending myself ! i 'm not going to let her get away with this ! thomas : steff , this is dangerous . i know you 're innocent . but this video looks bad -- very bad . steffy : the video -- who else has seen it ? thomas : i know wyatt has . steffy : of course he has ! that 's why he was shooting me all those incriminating looks . thomas : he and ivy are in this together . steffy : they 're trying to force me out . i 've got to do something about this . thomas : wait , wait , wait , wait . what are you doing ? steffy : i 'm putting a stop to the madness . ridge : [ sighs ] caroline : what , what ? ridge : it does n't add up , all this business with ivy . caroline : i do n't know . it 's kind of obvious to me . she 's with wyatt now , so ... ridge : no , i get that , but there has to be more to it than that . caroline : yeah ? they both resent liam and steffy for getting back together and their positions here at forrester , so ... ridge : so , what is it , payback ? caroline : could be . ridge : [ sighs ] ivy seemed pretty confident , did n't she ? and then wyatt , he 's not backing down . in my day , when the c.e.o . said something , that was it . caroline : ivy was really upset when liam left her for steffy , and then wyatt had all that back and forth with hope and liam . and then they got passed over in the takeover , so ... ridge : so , that 's it ? they want to stick it to him ? okay , that 's fine . you know what bothers me is that thomas is not more loyal to his sister . i do n't get it . ivy : no , but that 's just it . steffy is lying . here . look . [ birds chirping ] wyatt : wow , you get a text from the president . you think you 're moving up in the world . steffy : i know about ivy 's video , wyatt . wyatt : oh , so , this is not a job promotion ? steffy : this is n't funny , okay ? wyatt : does n't have to be so serious , either . steffy : oh . you mean if i go along with your little plan ? wyatt : no , no . no plan . that was just a helpful suggestion . steffy : okay . just to keep me away from the nosy reporters ? wyatt : and to give ivy a shot at strutting her stuff , 'cause it would be good for her . look , steffy -- steffy : no , no , you look , wyatt . you look . aly is gone . it was a terrible tragedy , and we are all traumatized by it . but she put this on herself . she attacked me , okay ? wyatt : wha -- steffy : no , she attacked me . wyatt : she attacked you ? steffy : she attacked me . she tried to hit me with her car . and then swung a tire iron at me , and then she picked up a rock , and she was gon na smash it on top of me . my god , that is what happened . i was defending myself . what was i supposed to do ? and then there 's ivy , using my cousin to get ahead so she can be the model . where 's your loyalty , hmm ? wyatt : [ scoffs ] steffy : you 're employed by forrester . i thought we were friends . wyatt : yeah , i thought we were , too . steffy : [ exhales ] wow . that 's what this is about . wyatt : hmm . steffy : i chose liam over you , so you 're using ivy to lash out ? wyatt : what ? no . that is not what -- steffy : because the last i heard , blackmail is illegal . you 're supporting the wrong person . i need you to delete the video . caroline : so , who 's it gon na be , steffy or ivy ? ridge : i ca n't believe i 'm in this position . caroline : i know . charlotte : lunch has arrived . ridge : hey , i did n't order lunch . did you ? caroline : no , i did n't . uh ... it smells really good . what is it ? kristina : hot dogs ! ridge : well , i did n't order hot dogs , so ... charlotte : sorry . caroline : no , no , no , no . you can -- you can just leave a bag . it 's fine . somebody will eat it . it 's like being at the ballpark . ridge : thanks , ladies . nothing against hot dogs , but we got more important things we got to figure out . caroline : yes , i know . so , who 's it going to be ? steffy or ivy ? steffy : get rid of it , wyatt . wyatt : you want me to erase the video ? steffy : i realize you and ivy are a couple now . wyatt : oh , my god . steffy : do you have any idea what she 's doing ? she 's blackmailing me . she 's blackmailing my family . she 's trying to force me into making her the new face of forrester . wyatt : oh , my -- she just -- she needs a break , steffy . she just lost her best friend . steffy : i 'm not talking about her needing a break ! oh , my god . she 's making me look like i 'm responsible for aly 's death . i know she 's upset . wyatt : what , and you do n't think she has a right to be ? she just lost her man because of you . lost her best friend -- i 'm sorry -- because of you . her work 's getting trashed . so , hell , yeah , she 's upset . and so am i . steffy : so are you . wyatt : you do n't see it , do you ? there 's no surprise there . you remember the whole `` summer of fun `` that you were supposed to have , that we were supposed to have ? you remember that ? if you want to throw it in with liam , fine . whatever . but this is the same guy who is now v.p . of forrester creations who has never held a position here , has no experience here , and i 'm stuck doing what ? selling jewelry ? great . that 's fair . thanks . steffy : i 'm not going to defend my relationship with liam to you . wyatt : great . steffy : and i 'm not going to try to convince you how important you are to this company . wyatt : [ scoffs ] steffy : you should already know that . but i do expect your allegiance . we 're a team . and you 're starting to waver . what i need from you is to get the video . please . get it in her phone , her computer . just make sure everything is cleared . do you know if she sent it to anyone else ? wyatt : i do n't know . steffy : well , find out . i want it gone . i 'm innocent , wyatt . she attacked me , and i defended myself . do n't think for one moment that i have not been beating myself up about it . it was a terrible accident , and i am devastated by this . but you honestly believe that i would kill aly ? murder ? that 's ridiculous . [ sighs ] you do the right thing . focus on yourself . focus on your future , your position here at forrester . get the video ... and erase it , please . and make sure there are no other copies . wyatt : all right . steffy : i mean it , wyatt . this is a very dangerous game you and ivy are playing . wyatt : i said all right . i 'll get rid of it . steffy : [ sighs ] ridge : i worry about her . caroline : steffy ? ridge : yeah . she said she 's fine , but how could she be ? caroline : i honestly do n't know . she was attacked by her cousin , and then she watched her die . i mean , god , that would take me forever to recover from . ridge : she 's suffering . that 's for sure . caroline : i know . she seems so preoccupied , and , i mean , you ask her about it , she just says she does n't want to talk about it . ridge : that 's steffy .

wyatt : i ca n't believe this . are -- are you sure ? you 're positive ? steffy : i was in the office when my grandfather brought quinn in . wyatt : eric offered her a job ? steffy : mm - hmm . wyatt : she did n't accept ? steffy : oh , she accepted , all right . wyatt : she would n't do that . steffy : she did . wyatt : well , why -- why is eric offering her a job ? ! steffy : because he 's not thinking straight . because he 's being taken advantage of by your mom . wyatt : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] quinn : look at you . eric : look at you . come in . quinn : [ chuckles softly ] eric : may i ? here . quinn : wow . eric , it 's beautiful . but ridge -- if he sees me here ... eric : ridge wo n't be a problem tonight . tonight 's just you and me . katie : hey . ridge : hey , katie . do you mind ? katie : sure . ridge : thanks for coming . katie : uh ... everything okay ? you sounded a little stressed out . ridge : yeah . a little tense . katie : i 'm assuming this is about bill 's 12.5 % ? ridge : have you talked to him about the settlement , or ... ? katie : yeah , briefly . ridge : 'cause i need that stock now more than ever . [ owl hooting ] steffy : i respect my grandfather , but he thinks that we 're treating him like a child . but this is n't about my grandfather . this is about quinn and how we all need to be protected from her ! and that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . wyatt : well , she completely ignored me . i demanded that she stop . steffy : she does n't respond to stopping . she does n't respond to demands . her language is threats , and i 'm gon na start speaking it if she does n't stay away from my grandfather . quinn : i thought you preferred a martini before dinner . eric : normally , yes . but this seems like a champagne sort of evening . quinn : hmm . eric : to two of the things you 've brought to my life in a very short time -- a beautiful woman and a wonderful evening ... one i think we 'll never forget . katie : bill 's not gon na give anything up without a fight . ridge : well , i know , and i know it was n't gon na be easy , but we can do this . you 'll sue him . brooke and i will be there . you get the 12.5 % sell it to me . win - win . katie : right . listen , i 've talked to bill . he pretty much knows you 're behind this , so he 's not gon na go for it . ridge : yeah . that 's not a shocker . but once we start negotiating , he 'd want to give up 12.5 % of forrester instead of a piece of spencer publications . katie : spencer publications is not on the table . ridge : it will be on the table ... if he does n't want to give up the 12.5 % . katie : [ sighs ] did something else happen since i spoke to you last ? this seems especially important . ridge : my dad is important . he 's not in charge anymore . quinn is . katie : i just ca n't believe that eric hired quinn back . ridge : yeah , he sure did . he brought her to a meeting like some kind of trophy . he 's not himself anymore . bringing quinn back here after everything she 's done ? no one wants her here -- no one . katie : not her own son . ridge : especially her own son -- and steffy . he just hired the one person that can single - handedly destroy her marriage . wyatt : how -- how could she do this ? steffy : she 's treating you the way she treats me -- with total disregard . wyatt : well , i - i could n't have been more blunt with her . i said , `` stay away from steffy , eric , forrester , everything . `` she knows the repercussions that 'll happen . steffy : i do n't think she does . i do n't think she gets it . it 's like everything we say -- it means nothing to her . wyatt : well , i ca n't accept that . i know her all too well . trust me -- rejection from me is her worst fear . steffy : maybe she believes it 's never gon na happen . wyatt : i warned her , steffy ! steffy : well , warning her has no impact . i 'm sorry , wyatt , but you do n't have any power over her . none of us do . wyatt : okay . steffy : so , unfortunately , for my grandfather , for my entire family , there 's going to be a price to pay .

[ sighs ] you 've changed me , eric . and i am going to earn your respect . eric : you wo n't have to work very hard to do that . quinn : oh , yes , i will . i heard what you said in the office . i was mortified that you even had to say that , but you did , 'cause your family only knows me as the woman i used to be . eric : that 's not the woman you are anymore . change takes time , though , you know ? quinn : i do n't expect you to wait for me . eric : i 'm not gon na wait for you . i 'm gon na be there with you . we 're gon na do this together -- you and me . but it would make it a little easier if i could spend a little more time with you , if you were around a little more , if you know what i mean . quinn : mnh - mnh . eric : here 's to surprises . quinn : mmm . eric : yeah ? quinn : oh , wait . there 's something in my glass . eric : no , do n't -- do n't -- do n't -- do n't swallow that . quinn : what in the world ? eric : i believe that fits the front door . i do n't want to be too forward , but i 'm wondering if you 're interested in shacking up with me , my fair lady . quinn : are you kidding me ? you believe in me that much ?

bill : cj . what an idiot . who leaves an easy 5 mill on the table to save something that 's already dead ? liam : someone with compassion , maybe ? bill : someone who 's a moron . liam : i 'm just saying . cj and sally are family . i mean , you of all people should understand protecting family . bill : that clown is passing up the offer of a lifetime . cj will find that i wo n't be so generous again . with thomas out of the picture , spectra 's showing will bomb . sally 's days are numbered . coco : are you sure you do n't want me to leave ? i can see you 're busy . sally : we do n't spend enough time together as it is . as long as you do n't mind me working while we catch up . coco : no , i - i totally get it . you 're under the gun with this next collection . sally : yeah , the one that i thought i was gon na be doing with thomas . coco : how 's it going ? like , the line , i mean . sally : uh , well , we will see . i 'm still putting it all together . thankfully , though , i still have this building to work in after convincing cj again not to sell the building to bill spencer . coco : well , i mean , good for cj . like , this place is his legacy , too . sally : yeah , that bought me more time . i can keep this battleship afloat if i can pull this off .

[ chuckles ] i am so sorry . i just ... i was in the middle of the most incredible dream . it was our wedding day , and it was so incredibly romantic . i guess i just got a little confused . eric : i 'll have to check with the doctor and make sure you 're not sleeping too much . i tried to follow his instructions , but it -- it 's been kind of hard to wake you up . sheila : you 're always so caring and compassionate . eric : sheila , you 're here because we have to keep an eye on you while you recover . and once you have , then we 'll see to it that you get back to the hotel or an apartment . whatever you need so that you can get on with your new life . sheila : i 'll have to leave ? bill : so , you here to lecture me , too , about how i handled your brother ? steffy : you know , i 'm actually okay with thomas thinking caroline is dying . bill : wow ! nice to finally be appreciated . steffy : well , it puts space between thomas and sally , and it buys caroline time to put her family back together . i 'm for anything that accomplishes that . bill : and if it gets your redheaded rival out of the picture , so much the better . steffy : let 's talk about your ulterior motive . you want your skyscraper built , and you wo n't stop until it 's looming above us . bill : i do n't apologize for it . steffy : i do n't expect you to . i respect the way you embrace your ruthlessness , the way you 're willing to bulldoze through any obstacle . but that could backfire , especially if liam 's involved . bill : you have insight for me ? steffy : liam 's agreed to go along with the whole `` caroline 's dying `` secret . but if you push him into trash - talking sally and he feels that she does n't deserve it , he 'll tell her the truth , the whole `` caroline 's dying `` secret that was engineered by you . liam : well , i totally get why you 'd be suspicious of me . i would like to try to put your mind at ease if i -- if i can . sally : okay . liam : okay . so , uh , my dad loves me . in a lot of ways , i 'm a huge disappointment to him . sally : what is there not to be proud of ? you 're smart , successful , well - liked . liam : oh , thank you . yeah , i - i also do n't eat meat . and , uh , i wear my bleeding heart on my sleeve , and i always try to make the world a better place , and i have a conscience . sally : [ sighs ] you 're a horrible person . liam : it 's bad , yeah , especially in bill spencer 's eyes . listen , i ... i rarely approve of my father 's tactics , and i rarely participate in them . and -- and i 'm not gon na say trust me , 'cause i know you 've heard that before , and i believe that has to be earned . but i - i do ask that you try to judge me on my own merits , not my father 's . eric : the doctor said that you needed to be monitored for 24 hours . but that 's all it can be . sheila , i have to honor my wife , too . sheila : i understand . i 've -- i 've inconvenienced you long enough . eric : no , no , no . i do n't mean you have to leave now . sheila : no , i 'm gon na be okay . so ... ooh . eric : i think it 's a little too soon . sheila : well , there 's only one way to find out . right ? there . see ? eric : no , sheila , sheila . here , here . all right . let 's get up . let 's get up . all right , stand up . you okay ? sheila : [ chuckles ] eric : [ chuckles ] all right . sheila : i 'm embarrassed . eric : come on . let 's get you back into bed . good lord . here . here . all right , it 's like i said , it 's a little too much , a little too soon . sheila : yeah , but i was -- i was feeling okay . i just -- i got -- i got dizzy . eric : yeah . sheila : vertigo or something . eric : okay . i 'm gon na get you some new water , and i 'll get linda to fix you some food . sheila : thank you . i think that might help . eric : i think it will , too . you relax . be back in a minute . [ door closes ] [ birds chirping ] [ footsteps approach ] eric : here . linda will bring up some food shortly . sheila : thank you . you 're -- you 're being so kind to me . eric : yes , well , i feel bad that , uh , that this happened to you in my home , at my wife 's hand . sheila : you do have a lively one there . [ chuckles ] eric : look , both of you -- both of you should have exercised a little more self - control last night . this fight never should have gotten out of hand the way it did . now , dr. andrews , the doctor who saw you last night , is not available today , so i took the liberty of calling a doctor we both know , someone to give us more advice about this and a second opinion and to keep this unfortunate incident away from medical records and from the press . sheila : who is this person ? james . james : hello , sheila . it 's been awhile . eric : james was kind enough to come right over . james : eric told me you suffered a concussion . i 'm gon na take a look and assess your condition , and then i 'll render my opinion and see whether you 're fit enough to go back on your feet and back into your life . steffy : i 'm gon na go out on a limb and guess things are pretty tense between you and liam . bill : he told you about our , uh , disagreement ? steffy : sounds like it got pretty heated . bill : if liam wants to be a preacher , he can go out and find himself a congregation . in the meantime , he 's got to understand loyalty and not try to right my wrongs . i told him , and i 'm giving you fair warning , as well . if he says anything to thomas or sally about caroline not being at death 's door , i will kick his ass out of the company and out of my life . liam : so , uh , going back to the swimwear challenge , how did it feel to face off with forrester and end in a tie ? sally : exciting . validating . but even with thomas ' influence , spectra will never be forrester . but we are a force to be reckoned with , and people are noticing , like you . liam : yeah . monaco must have been a welcome morale booster . sally : it was , with thomas believing in me enough to throw in . he made me a better designer . and i saw that on the runway . honestly , i - i really truly thought we should have won that challenge , but your father never would have allowed it . and i do n't mean to whine or anything , but bill should seriously pick on someone his own size . it 's like david and goliath . big , bad bill spencer against dinky little spectra fashions ? like , how -- how is that even a battle ? liam : it 's not . sally : thank you . thank you for that . bill owns and operates a major brand with enormous influence in the fashion industry , and i 'm just trying to stay afloat . i had a partner , and now i do n't . thomas is clear across the country . that -- [ sighs ] that sounded like i 'm blaming him or i 'm resentful , and i 'm not . i 'm not . i - i get -- i get why he 's with caroline and douglas right now , with ... everything . all i 'm trying to say is that it all falls on me to design everything , to keep the doors open , to finance everything , all while watching my back to make sure your father does not knife me . liam : yeah . [ cell phone beeps ] liam : um ... so that sounds like a lot of pressure . [ chuckles ] sally : look , i do n't mind a challenge . i will do whatever it takes to prove that i deserve a spot at the table if -- huge `` if `` -- i am playing on a level field . and i think you know whether i am or not . liam : oh , me ? sally : your father sabotaged my first preview and just tried to buy the building from cj again . is he still up to something ? i need to know , liam . the truth . | bill welcomes steffy into his office . he says she just missed liam who is on his way to spectra now . she laments that she married him because he was such a good guy so she does not like they have different views on spectra . liam comes in as sally is talking to coco and telling her again how terrible she feels for getting her in trouble at forrester . he is not sure he should interrupt but sally says to come on in . she asks if he is writing this piece of his to trash her and get her out of l.a. eric looks in on sheila in bed . he tells her they had a room a long time ago but now she is here because she may be suffering from a concussion . she says she is confused as she was having the most pleasant dream of when they were married . eric says he has been looking in on her to make sure she does n't sleep too long . she will be staying here until she is better then he will send her back to her hotel or an apartment , whatever she wants . she starts to get up and he says she does not have to leave now . it is too soon but he can not watch her 24/7 as he has a wife to attend to as well . she becomes dizzy and falls over in his arms and he puts her back in bed saying again it is a little too soon . he says he will get her some water and be back in a minute . |
bridget : hey , you -- amber ? what 's going on ? did you sleep here last night ? amber : the bel air hotel was full . bridget : you and my brother have a fight ? amber : just my life falling apart . nothing for you to worry about . bridget : i heard about macy and deacon , their honeymoon in cabo . amber : with my son . bridget : amber , i understand why you 're concerned , but , sweetie , little eric 's coming home soon . amber : even if they do bring him back , he 's not gon na be coming home to me . bridget : what are you talking about ? amber : ask your brother . bridget : amber , i 'm asking you . come on . talk to me . what 's going on ? amber : rick wants a divorce . bridget : a div -- that 's crazy . amber : well , what 's crazy is me thinking i could ever be a part of this family . bridget : you 're serious ? amber : rick ca n't take any chances , bridget . not with me . not -- not when our son 's future 's on the line . bridget : what 's does eric have to do with this ? amber : rick is filing for adoption without me . rick : stephanie , just in time . stephanie : oh , just in time to hear the divorce announcement ? brooke : divorce ? what are you talking about ? rick : i see you 've spoken to amber . stephanie : well , where did you expect her to go ? she slept at my house last night . brooke : would somebody please tell me what 's going on here ? stephanie : he 's asked his wife for a divorce . brooke : that 's ludicrous . they love each other . rick : of course we do . brooke : well , then tell me what stephanie 's babbling about . edward : if you 'd like me to explain , rick -- rick : no . stephanie 's right . i asked amber for a divorce . brooke : honey , why ? rick : for eeric . you know what macy and deacon are trying to do . they are trying to steal our son . brooke : you 're filing for adoption . edward : against the child 's natural father . you have to realize , the odds are not in rick 's favor . rick : and with amber as my wife , they 're even worse . edward : amber does have a very checkered past . stephanie : well , the natural father is no saint . and brooke can certainly testify to that . rick : okay , look -- bottom line -- i need to end my marriage to save my family . stephanie : are you listening to what you 're saying ? rick : yes , i am . and i just wish amber would understand . stephanie : understand that you want to throw her out of your life ? rick : it 's not a real divorce , stephanie . stephanie : that 's the only kind i know . why , she 's absolutely devastated . rick : that is the last thing that i wanted . this is a legal strategy . nothing more . stephanie : well , it 's a pretty stupid legal strategy . she feels completely betrayed . how would you expect her to feel otherwise ? ridge : starting to see what all the fuss is about , huh ? nick : escapes me . ridge : what does massimo want ? massimo : to firm up my wedding plans . nick : so when 's the big day ? massimo : well , i 'm gon na leave that up to your mother . the rest is up to me . ridge : then what can we do for you ? massimo : well , there is one thing -- a topic that pertains to both of you . ridge : gee , let me guess . massimo : mm - hmm . brooke logan . i do n't want her within a zip code of my wedding . rick : i do n't want to hurt amber . i 'm just trying to do what 's best for our son . stephanie : by alienating his mother ? rick : i love amber , but -- dammit , she did this to herself ! stephanie : so she has to deal with these consequences alone ? you do n't mean that . rick : if you would have seen her at that wedding , stephanie -- stephanie : what is this ? her punishment ? rick : this is n't a punishment . this may be our last chance to save our family . stephanie : by breaking it apart , rick ? edward : i understand your concerns , mrs. forrester . stephanie : i do n't think you do . otherwise , you would never have suggested this ill - conceived strategy . you do n't realize it , but amber is a wonderful mother . edward : i do n't doubt it . but unfortunately , testimonials alone are not going to help us in court . stephanie : because of her checkered past ? edward : the only thing the judge is going to see are amber 's errors in judgment , her possession of drugs , assaulting an officer , her stint in rehab . brooke : oh , please , spare us the details . edward : now pit this against deacon sharpe , the child 's biological father and sole legal guardian , and rick does n't have a chance . stephanie : and i guess amber does n't either . bridget : rick is filing for adoption on his own ? amber : our lawyer thinks he has a better chance of winning without me . bridget : this is insane . amber : i 've made a lot of mistakes , bridget . bridget : and deacon has n't ? amber : this is not about deacon anymore . bridget : no , you know what ? you 're damn right this is n't about deacon . my brother is acting like a complete moron . amber : he 's just trying to protect our son . bridget : by separating him from his mother ? amber : i 'm -- i 'm not eric 's mother , not really . bridget : amber , you know what ? to that child you are . and that 's all that matters . look , you and rick are just -- you guys are really stressed out right now . you 're dealing with this whole macy / deacon situation -- amber : and that gives him the right to end our marriage ? bridget : of course not . amber : you know , i love him , bridget . i love him , and i thought he loved me , too . bridget : amber , he loves you . you know he does . amber : just not enough not enough to stand by me . you know , if the tables were turned , if he was the one in trouble , i would do whatever i could to make sure that everyone knew what a great father he was . and why wo n't he do that for me ? bridget : he 's scared . amber : no . no , bridget . rick does n't get scared . okay ? he takes action , and he gets results . if he wants a divorce -- i 'm not gon na stop him . ridge : what do you mean , no logan ? massimo : no arguments , ridge . ridge : who 's arguing , massimo ? nick : i 'm laying two to one she not only places , she shows . ridge : not on your arm , payne . nick : yours either , pal . ridge : what do you say we just let the lady decide that ? massimo : what do you say we let the groom decide , hmm ? no brooke . that 's final . nick : mom may have something to say about that . [ knock at door ] samantha : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . ridge ? ridge : sam ? what are you doing here ? samantha : i 'm reporting to work . it looks like i 've come to the right place . edward : once rick gets custody , if he and amber wish to resume their relationship -- rick : wait -- wait a minute . `` resume `` ? my god , i will always love amber . and she will always be my wife . no legal document is gon na change that . stephanie : wait a minute . you 're assuming that she 's going to take you back after this fiasco . brooke : stephanie , do n't make a bad situation even worse . stephanie : well , i feel that somebody has to defend her . and i do n't -- i do n't -- i just do n't get the logic of this thing . edward : simply put , amber is a liability . stephanie : she 's a liability ? she 's a wonderful mother . and as a couple , she and rick have given this child a stable home , a loving family . but you 're saying that you should present him to the court as a single parent ? edward : in this instance , yes . petitioning to adopt a child from the natural father is extremely difficult . stephanie : well , what makes you think that this strategy 's going to work ? edward : for all the compelling points that you 've just made and more -- the stable home life , the opportunities afforded young eric , the way that you 've all embraced this child . brooke : we love him , and he is and always will be a part of this family . edward : what better way to show the court that little eric is truly a forrester than by giving him a portion of the family business ? stephanie : you gave him a piece of the company ? brooke : what 's it to you , stephanie ? stephanie : well , you did n't run it by the board . brooke : i 'm ceo of forrester creations . i can do whatever i want with my 51 % . if i choose to give 2 % of that to my grandson , that is what i will do , and there 's nothing you can do about it . stephanie : no , there is n't . edward : all right , rick . we have to talk about a few things here . bridget : amber , my brother is being completely insensitive , but i 'm sure by now he 's come to his senses . amber : he asked me for a divorce , bridget ! bridget : he 's panicking . amber : great , great . every time there 's a crisis , what 's he gon na do ? kick me to the curb ? bridget : okay . just give him a chance to get his head back on straight here . amber : you know , we always said that marriage was about sticking together . good times , bad -- we 're in for the long run . bridget : you still are . did you guys sign anything ? no , right ? sweetie , it 's gon na be okay . all right ? it 's gon na be all right . amber : thanks . bridget : i 'm really sorry you 're going through such a hard time . but , honestly , i believe that everything 's gon na work out in the end . amber : that 's because they have to . because we 're a family . i mean , you know , nothing -- nothing can break us apart . especially not each other . ridge : reporting for work ? samantha : oh , i 'm sorry . i slipped . massimo : no , no , no , no . no problem . we do n't keep any secrets here . nick : not anymore . samantha : well , ridge , you remember that big job i told you about ? ridge : the remodel ? samantha : mm - hmm . ridge : wait -- you 're working for marone here ? samantha : yeah , it 's a small world , is n't it ? massimo : miss kelly is decorating the house i bought for jackie . nick : do n't tell me , taj mahal on a hill ?

samantha : you mean how he was n't really your -- ridge : yeah . well , now your new boss here is . samantha : mr. marone ? massimo : please . call me massimo . nick : stick around long enough , you 'll be calling him dad like the rest of us . ridge : the lively character next to you , regrettably , is my half - brother . wild , huh ?

nick : she 's much better looking . samantha : mm - hmm . nick : now tell me , you said that you and forrester were -- were friends as kids , right ? samantha : oh , well , we go way back . nick : oh . well that explains it . samantha : explains what ?

nick : well , the thing is , he 'll probably need a little encouragement . ridge : sorry about the interruption , sam . where were we ? samantha : well , you were just about to ask me to be your date to massimo 's wedding . and , yes , ridge , i 'd love to go . rick : you wo n't even hear what i have to say ?

[ chuckles ] okay . charlotte ! you just drop off hot dogs any old place ? those were supposed to be for jake and his crew . and now we 're short . charlotte : i know . i 'm so sorry . it 's just -- ms. spencer told me to leave them and -- pam : i know , and obviously you got to do what she asked you to do , but that does n't solve jake 's lunch problem , does it ? so , i guess you 're gon na have to head on back and get another order . oh , charlotte , um , would you get an extra chili dog for me ? with jalapeños ! [ scene_break ] ridge : so you want to talk to steffy ? lt . baker : i sure do . there 's a lot of unanswered questions about that night . [ sniffs ] goodness , what is , uh ... [ sniffs ] something smells good . caroline : um , yeah , the -- the interns just dropped off some food . are you hungry ? lt . baker : [ chuckles ] well , i - i would n't want to take your lunch . caroline : no , no , please . i mean , they 're just some hot dogs we did n't even order . lt . baker : oh , you do n't say . ridge : help yourself . lt . baker : excellent . ridge : now , you said you had some questions ? lt . baker : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . those -- those interns , what are their names ? ridge : what -- what do , um ... lt . baker : i thought i knew the best hot dog joints in town , but my gosh , this is -- ridge : no , i meant you have questions about aly 's death . what do you need from steffy ? [ scene_break ] thomas : i hope you 're right . i hope this is over now . steffy : once this video is erased , i 'll have no reason to worry about ivy . thomas : she could still go to the police even without the video . just her word against yours . steffy : police already know what happened . they know i 'm a victim . i do n't think ivy running to the police crying murder is gon na make a big difference . look , even if i end up telling the police more about -- about certain things , it does n't change the truth . thomas : yeah , yeah , not -- not the entire truth . but you left out details . now , what 's that considered ? obstruction of justice ? steffy : [ sighs ] thomas : you know , it just makes me wonder , steff , maybe you should have told the police back when you remembered . [ scene_break ] ivy : let me take my phone back . wyatt : let 's just -- let us -- let 's just talk about this for a second . ivy : have you been playing me ? wyatt : what ? no ! ivy : i thought i could trust you , wyatt . i thought we were getting closer to each other . wyatt : you can , and we are ! it 's just that -- ivy : you went behind my back and took my phone . why would you do that ? we need this video . why would you even think of deleting it ? wyatt : because i spoke with steffy . ivy : [ scoffs ] of course you did . and she got to you , did n't she ? you want to know how i know she got to you ? because you 're a spencer male and you ca n't resist . [ scene_break ] lt . baker : i just need to have a little chit - chat with your daughter , that 's all , find out a little bit more about what happened that night that alexandria died . ridge : well , i 'm not sure what else you could possibly need . the officers that were there , they asked all the questions . lt . baker : but maybe they did n't ask all the right questions . ridge : so , what 's the right question ? lt . baker : was there any animosity between the two cousins , for example ? ridge : animosity ? i do n't know if that 's the right word . i think , um , they had issues , but aly had issues with a lot of people . she was a troubled kid , difficult . lt . baker : difficult in what way ? ridge : well , ever since her mom died , um , she had mental issues . she 'd go off on people . lt . baker : like the night she died , going after steffy ? ridge : yeah , that was one of those times . lt . baker : well , times like that , things could get out of hand . it might be tempting to push , get physical . i wonder what steffy has to say about that . [ scene_break ] thomas : i 'm worried the truth will come out and it 'll look like you 've lied . steffy : but i did n't . not intentionally . i - i do n't even know what i could have said differently . my head was spinning . i was in a daze . everything was going so fast . the one minute , i 'm changing the tire . and the next , a car is barreling down at me . and suddenly i 'm answering questions from the police while our cousin is lying dead on the ground . i was in shock . i do n't even know how i answered those questions . thomas : steff , steff , i agree with you -- steffy : then why are you doing this ? why are you stressing me out ? it was self - defense , okay ? aly attacked me . i ca n't change what i said that night . digging it up now wo n't do any good . wyatt will get the video , and he 'll delete it . and then ivy can heal . and she can finally move on . [ scene_break ] ivy : so , what did she do ? she wink at you and then you all of a sudden start blabbing about the video ? wyatt : no , she already knew about it . she 's the one who brought it up to me . ivy : okay , so then thomas must have told her . wyatt : i do n't know . probably . ivy : so instead of coming to me about it , she went to you . do you want to know why she did that , wyatt ? because you 're so easy to manipulate . wyatt : wow . a lot of stuff that she said made sense . just hear me out on this . steffy could be charged with murder . ivy : appropriately so . wyatt : not necessarily ! ivy : wyatt , she lied to the police ! aly was defenseless ! she did n't just fall over . steffy hit her . wyatt : steffy said that aly was trying to attack her with a rock . ivy : what ? ! there was n't a rock ! wyatt : maybe it 's on the video ! i do n't know ! but steffy said that aly was trying to attack her and she had to defend herself ! ivy : okay , well , she 's lying . wyatt : i do n't know about that . ivy : play the video again . wyatt : [ sighs ] ivy : seriously , wyatt , play it . there 's no rock ! wyatt : well , maybe it 's not the angle or something ! i do n't know ! we ca n't see her hand ! ivy : oh , my god ! how convenient . how convenient for steffy . when is everyone gon na realize that that girl is a very good liar ? it 's what she does . she lied to the police that night . i mean , she even lied to you . she led you on to believe that you were gon na have a chance with her . she 's lying about aly , and she 's lying about this rock . wyatt : but what if it is n't ? what if this video sends her to jail because she was just trying to defend herself ? look , there are other ways to handle this without all the bad publicity . forrester 's been good to me . this could jeopardize my job . ivy : um , hi . i 'm a forrester , too . just because i did n't grow up in beverly hills does n't mean -- wyatt : you know what i mean . they 've been good to you , too , ivy . ivy : wyatt , i 'm not trying to jeopardize my family name , not trying to shine a spotlight on some scandal , and i 'm not trying to ruin our jobs . aly is dead . i know that she was a really hard person to get along with , but she was a good person . she just got caught up in all of this . i ca n't let her death mean nothing . wyatt : so , what do you want ? ivy : i do n't know . i do n't know yet . all i know is that steffy is at the bottom of all this . rock or not , she is responsible . wyatt , that video stays on my phone . one day i 'm gon na figure out how to use it properly . i have to , for aly 's sake . [ scene_break ] steffy : careful , pam . if my dad 's in there with caroline , you never know what you might overhear . pam : [ scoffs ] they 're not alone , steffy . i would n't have my ear to the door if they were in alone there canoodling . this is much more exciting . lieutenant baker 's in there , so it 's got to be something juicy , right ? now , normally i would n't have pegged caroline as a convict type , but she 's been alone a lot , you know , 'cause of her leg and everything at home , and she 's , like , really into social media , so i thought maybe -- thomas : i doubt that 's it . steffy : well , only way to find out . pam : okay . give me a full report . steffy : hi . are -- are we interrupting ? lt . baker : well , hello , steffy . we were just talking about you . thomas , good to see you . thomas : likewise . steffy : me ? why ? lt . baker : well , first of all , let me give you my condolences . a terrible loss for you and your family . steffy : thank you . so , this is about aly . lt . baker : imagine my surprise when this case came across my desk . another forrester death along pch . darla 's daughter , no less . does your problems with alexandria stem from what happened with your mothers ? thomas : whoa , whoa , whoa , who said they had problems ? lt . baker : your father did . he said most people had difficulty with alexandria . mental issues , ridge said . steffy : yeah , she did have mental issues . um ... she was crazy . lt . baker : sounds a bit harsh . steffy : [ sighs ] we 're talking about a girl who tried to reenact her mother 's death . put a nail in my tire , waited for me to pull over so she could run me over with her car . lt . baker : is anybody gon na eat this last hot dog ? ridge : help yourself . lt . baker : well , even as such , being a little crazy does n't justify killing someone . [ scene_break ] ivy : do you understand why i ca n't give up this leverage ? wyatt : i understand why you want revenge , but -- ivy : no , see , do n't make it sound like that ! wyatt : what ? ivy : like it 's wrong ! aly being dead is what 's wrong ! steffy getting away with it is what 's wrong ! wyatt : i -- ivy : she gets everything . she does . she takes whatever she wants and then people just turn a blind eye . i ca n't do that . aly 's dead , and i do n't want to let that go . wyatt : i agree with you to a certain extent . but if she goes to jail because we ca n't see a rock in this video -- ivy : do you want to know why i do n't understand this rock story ? wyatt : why ? ivy : do you want to know why i do n't believe it ? because she should have just told the police that at the scene of the accident . why did n't she just tell them exactly what happened ? wyatt : i do n't know ! fear , maybe ? maybe she was too freaked out to say the right thing ? any number of reasons ! but we have to be careful not to turn this into a witch hunt . ivy : you know , i really thought you were on my side . wyatt : i am ! ivy : well , it does n't feel like it ! wyatt : what are you talking about ? ! ivy : because you just -- you go and talk to steffy and now suddenly you 're following her story ! wyatt : oh , my god ! ivy : wyatt , i feel so alone here in la ! it is hard enough being this far away from my family and my friends . but to have fallen for liam and then have him leave me , my cousin die -- my best friend die -- both of these things because of steffy . and now you 're gon na stand here in front of me and start sounding like you 're on her side . it 's too much for me . wyatt : i 'm -- i 'm not . i 'm not -- i 'm not on her side , okay ? and you 're not alone . i have found something in you that i do n't want to mess up . i 'm sorry . ivy : wait , wait , wait , wait . hey . [ both chuckle ] ivy : i told you when ... when i was ready to give myself to you , i ... i 'd give you everything . wyatt : right . ivy : i 'm ready . whoa . [ both laugh ] wyatt : wow . um , i was n't -- i was n't expecting that . ivy : yeah , i know . wyatt : i mean , it was great . i 'm glad we did it . it was ... [ whistles ] ivy : hey , um ... look , i just -- i just have to let you know that i 'm not usually like this . like , i do n't just do this on a whim . wyatt : i - i know . yeah . ivy : and i just -- i have to let you know -- and i hope that this does n't scare you off , but i want you to know that when i give myself to a man , i - i give myself entirely . wyatt : okay , that does n't scare me off one bit . ivy : okay . but i just have to say ... wyatt : okay . ivy : when i 'm with a man , i 'm really -- i 'm with him , you know , and -- and i want to be desired for that , and i want to be appreciated for that . and in return , i want him to give me all of himself . wyatt : well , you found him . ivy : have i ? wyatt : yeah . ivy : 'cause i need to know that you 're on my side just as much as i 'm on yours . wyatt : i need that , too . ivy : good . because i want to be in this bed with you . wyatt : [ chuckles ] ivy : and i want to lie here in your arms with you . wyatt : yeah . ivy : but i can only really do that if i trust you . so , there are certain things , like , for example ... wyatt : mm - hmm . ivy : ... my phone . that footage is important to me and to aly and her legacy . so i need to know that you would n't delete that without my knowledge . 'cause if i know that and i can trust you with that , well , then we 're gon na be just fine . wyatt : yeah . [ scene_break ] ridge : what are you talking about ? aly 's death was an accident . no one killed anybody . steffy : she killed herself . if she had n't tried running me over with a car ... lt . baker : along the same stretch of road that your mother ran over hers . thomas : okay , you keep bringing that up , but mom was proven innocent . lt . baker : of a crime , maybe . but darla was still dead . and now after all these years , their daughters confront each other on damn near the same stretch of road . ridge : well , that ought to prove that there was something going on -- there was something going on with aly the way she 's going after steffy . lt . baker : it does appear she did have mental issues . i 'll need to speak to thorne about that , of course , get the names of the doctors that she 's been seeing . i do believe she was targeting you , steffy . the nail in your tire does support that theory . steffy : so does driving towards me at full speed . so does attacking me , raging . lt . baker : when she fell . steffy : yeah , when she fell . yeah . lt . baker : i do n't know . it just feels like something else is going on here . steffy : it 's pretty straightforward . lt . baker : yeah , we 'll see . maybe . anyway , an investigation has to be done , paperwork properly filed , questions asked . any time there 's a death in my little corner of los angeles county , it 's my job to find out exactly what happened . especially if that death could be a murder . | ivy tells wyatt again that he can not delete that video . it is her only proof of what steffy did . he still thinks it is dangerous for her to hold and keep . thomas asks steffy is she is sure that wyatt will delete it . she says yes , he seems a man of his word . and this horrible nightmare will be behind her . he hopes she is right . he just wishes she would have told the police everything the first time and not left details out as that is obstruction of justice . ridge asks lt . baker if this now is being called a case as he thought it was an accident . baker assures him he wants to do things right and right now he needs to ask steffy some questions . pam intercepts a delivery of hotdogs that were supposed to be for jake and crew . they end up in ridge 's office and he offers baker one when he mentions that something smells good . he wants the interns name as he thought he knew the best hotdog places in town . he tells ridge that other officers questioned steffy that night but he wants to follow up . ridge explains that aly had mental issues and was a troubled kid . |
wyatt : mom , open up ! we need to talk now ! mom ! open the door ! it 's important ! are you in there ? quinn : you 're sure about this ? you want me to live here with you ? eric : what is this ? what is this in your hand ? quinn : [ chuckles ] it 's official . [ chuckles ] we 're shacking up ! eric : [ chuckles ] yeah . steffy : this is a nightmare that just keeps getting worse . we have to do something about quinn . she ca n't come back to forrester ! she -- she ca n't have all this access to granddad ! [ sighs ] god , this scares me to death . ridge : i 'm afraid for him , too . steffy : [ sighs ] liam : yes . exactly . exactly . and you know something ? that 's what this foundation is all about . okay , yeah . no , lunch it is . that 's great . that -- of course i can introduce you to steffy . all right , th - thank you again . thank you so much . yes . [ knock on door ] liam : hey . thomas : hey . liam : thomas . thomas : i know you were n't expecting me . liam : uh , yeah . should i have been ? thomas : no . no , not at all . i just heard of some major changes brewing at forrester i thought you should know . eric rehired quinn . liam : are you kidding me ? what is eric thinking ? thomas : apparently he does n't mind having her around . and -- and i just heard that from rick and pam , who were in the meeting . liam : i guess i should be surprised . but i knew quinn would n't stop . she never does . this is really bad , thomas . quinn being back at forrester puts her way too close to steffy . steffy : ever since quinn latched on , grandfather 's just been making horrible decisions . i mean , asking you to move out ? ridge : he did n't ask me . he demanded that . steffy : [ sighs ] you know what this means ? quinn 's gon na go over to the house whenever she wants . how -- how can granddad let this happen knowing everything that woman has done ? ridge : quinn 's influence over dad is pretty obvious . he 's not thinking clearly . steffy : oh , my god . do you think granddad will ask quinn to move in ? quinn : i used to go out sometimes , you know , just to -- just to get away and go to a bar and order a few drinks , and i 'd listen in on the conversation . i would listen to these women talk about being in love and how their man treated them like a queen . [ chuckles ] and i would think , `` stupid women . how dumb and needy are you ? first of all , relationships do n't last , right ? and second of all , be your own queen . `` [ sighs ] but i get it now . being here with you , this magical night that you 've made for me ... [ sighs ] it does n't matter if it lasts . the moment feels so good . you just -- just take it . gratefully . [ chuckles ] eric : i love how happy you are right now . quinn : [ chuckles ] so many changes . so fast . i mean , going back to work at forrester , moving in here with you ... [ sighs ] my heart is -- is so full . but i am not one of those giddy girls . quinn 's triumphant return did not go over so well with your family . eric : you noticed . quinn : hmm . they 're not going to react well when they find out you 've asked me to move in here with you . eric : do n't worry . i 'll handle my family . [ knock on door ] quinn : another surprise ? eric : surprise for me . i 'm not expecting anyone . wyatt : eric . look , i 'm sorry to just drop by like this . i 'm looking f -- oh , my god . you are here . liam : steffy asked her over and over and over stay away . very simple . stay away . and what does quinn do ? she throws a hail mary . she seduces eric and convinces him to reinstate her at forrester -- against steffy 's wishes , by the way . that 's great . thomas : it 's -- it 's weird , you know . after everything that quinn did to try and get wyatt and steffy back together , right , it 's -- it 's like she 's deliberately trying to sabotage their marriage . you would think she 'd -- she 'd lay low and show steffy that she can take direction and -- and prove herself , get back into the company . liam : yeah . yeah , well , the irony is that might have actually worked . thomas : yeah . well , i - i just wanted to let you know myself . you know , i - i know you 're a good guy and that you 'd do anything for my sister , which is ultimately why i think she should spend the rest of her life with you . steffy : there 's no way grandfather would ask quinn to move in , right ? ridge : i do n't know . i was hoping he asked me to move out so he could have some privacy . steffy : oh , my gosh . ridge : now with this woman back at the company -- steffy : who knows ? who knows what grandfather 's thinking ! but i know quinn , and quinn would love to live in that house . ridge : yeah . and the way dad 's been acting lately , anything is possible . steffy : oh , no . i 'm not gon na let this happen . i 'm not gon na let that woman live in our family home . that was my grandmother 's home . wyatt needs to do something . we ca n't have this woman in our lives ! wyatt : you know , i - i - i got to apologize for my mother . she does n't exactly have impulse control , which i 'm used to . uh , she should n't be here , nor should she accept your very , very generous offer of reinstating her at forrester . quinn : wyatt , i have n't done anything crazy . wyatt : yeah . you 're here , are n't you ? eric : your mother 's here because i asked her to be . wyatt : seriously , mom ? you know how steffy feels about this whole situation . eric : so do i , wyatt . i love my granddaughter , and i hate that i 'm upsetting her at all . but she does not dictate to my life , and anybody who thinks they can is being insulting and , uh , disrespectful . wyatt : okay . maybe one of you could tell me exactly where this all stands , because last i heard , whatever 's been going on between you two is over . now you 're back at forrester . i find you here . it 's all just a little confusing for all of us . eric : allow me to clarify . i 've done that with my family . i owe you that , too . your mother and i have discovered something really , really wonderful in each other . she brings happiness and joy to my life , something i did n't even know i was missing . and there 's no part of me that wants to give up the happiness that we have together . as for reinstating her , she 's an asset to the company . having her on staff is , uh , just good business . and having her around is a great bonus . you should know . you should be the first to know . she and i have just made a decision about the next step in our relationship . wyatt : oh . so there 's a next step ? quinn : eric asked me to move in . eric : and she graciously accepted . wyatt : you 're moving in here ? eric : now , you can like this or not . but nobody gets to tell the two of us how to live our lives . i 'm hoping that you and steffy and everybody else in the family will learn to accept it . wyatt : hmm . eric : i 'll give you some time alone with your son . quinn : thank you . wyatt : wow . quinn : honey , i know this is a lot to process . for me , too . wyatt : it does n't matter what you say . it does n't matter how you feel . you can not move in here . liam : well , i appreciate the support . thank you . thomas : i care about my sister . i want what 's best for her . liam : and you think that 's me ? wow , that 's -- [ chuckles ] that 's different . usually all i 'm used to hearing is `` respect the marriage . `` thomas : and i do . for what it 's worth [ sighs ] ... steffy does what she says and she says what she means , and -- and she thought that you had abandoned her , that -- that you 'd completely left her , you did n't like her anymore . so she had to let you go . she -- [ sighs ] she let somebody else in . and she takes this thing seriously with wyatt . she loves him . she -- she would n't have gotten married to him if she did n't . but i think that you 're the real love of my sister 's life . ridge : what if wyatt ca n't affect the situation ? he already tried . and quinn and dad , they 're closer than ever . what if he ca n't get that woman out of your life ? what does that do to your marriage ? steffy : i honestly do n't know . ridge : what does liam say about all this ? steffy : it does n't matter . i 'm married to his brother . ridge : and you still think that was the right choice ? steffy : i meant my vows . i would n't say them if i did n't mean them . ridge : and liam was out of your life . steffy : i just ca n't have his mom , this -- this psycho , in my life ! i do n't want her near my family . i do n't want her near forrester . ridge : makes you wish you could be with liam instead ? wyatt : no . quinn : honey -- wyatt : tell him not -- quinn : i know this is a shock . wyatt : this is my marriage we are talking about here , okay ? steffy has been more than clear with you since the beginning of my marriage that she does not want you around . and then you come up with this brilliant idea to move into her family home with eric ? seriously ? like , you -- you have something wrong with you ! quinn : why ? because i want to grab a little happiness ? wyatt : oh , come on ! quinn : do n't i deserve that finally ? ! look , look , this -- this was a surprise to me , too ! i - i - i did n't expect to -- to click with eric like this ! i mean , it happened so fast , i could barely keep up ! wyatt : that is a whole nother issue . quinn : what is ? wyatt : this looks exactly the way that steffy perceives it . you know that ? quinn : no . wyatt : she came to you , she shut things down , and then you get all , `` i 'm gon na show her , `` and then you blatantly go after her grandfather ! quinn : no ! come on ! i do n't -- i do n't live my life to get a reaction out of steffy ! things happened between me and eric like -- like any other couple . wyatt : this is my wife , mom . quinn : i - i know . nobody knows that better than me ! wyatt : you scare her . she does n't want you around her or her family . why ca n't you just respect that ? quinn : i have tried ! i swear to you , i have tried . do you have any idea what it 's been like for me ? this -- this solitary existence ? wyatt : [ sighs ] quinn : come on ! when it was just you and me and you -- you lived -- you lived in my home , it was us against the world ! but you grew up ! you became a man , and you followed your own path and your own life . and you know what ? yes ! i got lonely ! that 's how deacon got in ! my typical man , the disposable man . but eric 's nothing like that . he 's somebody that i can settle in with . he -- he -- he 's kind and he 's -- he 's -- he 's wonderful to me . he treats me like -- like -- he treats me with respect , like i 'm important ! wyatt : any other time , i 'd be overjoyed for you . if it were just someone that is n't steffy 's grandfather . quinn : look , if we could just calm down and work together , i 'm telling you steffy and the rest of her family will -- will -- will accept me and eric , you know , in time ! wyatt : no , they wo n't ! they wo n't ! they 're not going to accept that ! and you cramming yourself down everybody 's throats will destroy my marriage , and that is not okay with me . do you understand ? this -- this thing with eric , it wo n't last . your relationships with men , they do n't last , except for the one that you have with me . and right about now , you are this close from blowing that one , too . thomas : i adore my sister . i want her to be happy . liam : but you do n't feel she is with wyatt ? thomas : i think people can talk themselves into anything . not -- not that their marriage did n't have potential , but steffy was adamant . this is not a package deal , and quinn forced her way in . that 's -- that 's a dealbreaker . liam : yeah , well , it should be . quinn is dangerous , and obviously she 's not going away . thomas : maybe that 's a good thing . not -- not the dangerous part . but quinn 's relentless presence . if quinn 's involvement in my grandfather 's life is what forces steffy back to you , i can live with that . ridge : you 're in a safe room . besides , you 're not telling me anything i do n't already know . steffy : okay . i love liam . and i never stopped . even when i envisioned my future , i saw liam . and when i moved to paris and he was with hope , i - i still did n't think it was -- that it was done for us , that we were gon na find our way back to each other . we would have this family that we dreamed of . [ scoffs ] oh , my god . liam and i would be married right now if it was n't for quinn . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] quinn : please do n't talk that way . like you could walk out of here and write me off ? i ca n't lose you , wyatt . wyatt : just bringing a much - needed dose of reality to this whole thing . quinn : i ca n't lose you , wyatt . you have been my life since the day you were born . wyatt : so then this should make it a whole lot easier for you . the son who has been right by your side his whole life , supporting you , defending you , cleaning up after you or some fleeting romance that you just found . quinn : no . eric and i found something . we found something real . i - i - i do n't want to lose him , either . wyatt : you -- you swore to me that you were gon na respect steffy 's wishes and stay away from her and the forresters . like , does it even -- does it even matter to you that you 're hurting me right now ? ! quinn : that 's the last thing that i would ever want to do to you . wyatt : yeah , well , you are putting your own selfish needs over my marriage ! that 's what you 're doing ! quinn : for the first time ! for the very first time in my entire life ! how many times have you told me , `` mom , get a life . stop interfering in my own `` ? well , this is me doing just that , making a life with a man who -- who treats me with respect ! for the very first time in my life ! do you have any idea what kind of a gift that is ? to -- to be accepted by a man for exactly the way i come ? i do n't want to lose the best thing ever , now that i finally have something else to live for besides you ! wyatt : i swore to steffy that i could get you to back off . i asked you to leave l.a . quinn : [ sighs ] wyatt : and now you 're moving in here ? like , do you have -- you have any idea how that 's gon na go over with steffy when she finds out , with my wife ? that could be the end of my marriage ! i mean , do you want to be the reason why we 're torn apart ? ! quinn : of course not ! wyatt : so then stop this insanity , mom ! stop it ! do n't accept the job offer , and for god 's sake , do not move in here ! quinn : you do n't know what you 're asking of me . wyatt : no , i know exactly what i 'm asking , and i am asking it anyway . that should tell you how important this is to me . you have to end this once and for all . you and eric , it has to be over . | quinn wants to be sure that eric gave her the key and really wants her to live here shacking up . she says this night has been magical for her and she now sees why some women want to be treated like a queen . she never got that before being a needy girl but she does now . he tells her not to worry he will worry about his family and how they will react to this . there is a knock at the door and it is wyatt . he is shocked when he sees his mother there . steffy tells ridge that this scares her to death . quinn can not be coming back to work here and her latching onto eric . now she will show up at the house anytime she wants or worse yet maybe eric will invite her to move in . thomas looks in on liam and tells him there are some major changes at fc that he thought he should know . eric has re - hired quinn . liam says he is not surprised as quinn never stops . now this puts her way too close to steffy . now she is throwing a hail mary . thomas says yes you would think she got steffy and wyatt together and she would lay low now but it seems she is deliberately sabotaging everything . steffy opines that was her grandmother 's home . she will not let quinn live there . eric tells wyatt that his mother is here because he asked her to . eric says he loves his granddaughter and he hates that he is disappointing her but she can not dictate his life . that is disrespectful and demeaning . quinn has brought many good things to his life and he does not want to give that up . now they have made another step in their life . wyatt is twice shocked when quinn says she is moving in . eric says wyatt can like it or not but that is the way it is going to be . he leaves wyatt alone with his mother to talk . wyatt tells her it does not matter how she feels ; she can not move in here . they have all asked her to stay away from the forrester 's and now this . something is wrong with her . quinn argues that things happened between her and eric like any other couple . it had nothing to do with steffy . she said with them growing up together it was them against the world . but wyatt became a man with his own life and she got lonely . eric treats her like a woman and she does not want to give that up . he says fine but anybody but steffy 's grandfather . the family will not accept her and it will destroy his own marriage and she is that close to blowing their relationship too . |
bill : all part of the plan to take her down , along with spectra . and i 'm hopeful this will be a learning experience for liam . steffy : liam 's not on board with the plan . bill : he better get on board . he knows what the consequences will be if he messes with it . steffy : i 'm just saying , he knows that you 're lying about caroline dying . i wonder if it was the best idea to put him on this assignment with sally . sally : it 's a simple question , liam . is your father up to something ? does he have a plan to sabotage me and spectra fashions again ? i need to know . sheila : eric , this is rather unorthodox . eric : because james used to be your husband ? james : well , that was a long time ago , sheila . sheila : well , not -- not only that , he 's -- he 's a psychiatrist . james : well , i have a background in neuro . from what eric has told me , you suffered a serious head trauma . partial loss of memory , vertigo , and you 've been diagnosed with a concussion . well , i 'm here to help you . i want to get you back on your feet and back into your life . is n't that what you want ? sheila : [ scoffs ] of -- of course it is . eric : well , then , there you go . i 'll give you two some privacy . steffy : you offered c.j . $ 5 million on the side ? bill : if he agreed to sell me the building . steffy : but he would n't . bill : yeah , what the hell 's wrong with those people ? it 's like they 've made an art form out of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory . steffy : they think they can make something of the company . bill : not without thomas , they ca n't . steffy : thomas is ensconced in new york with caroline and douglas . bill : happily ever after , i hope . steffy : i hope so , too . but if liam tells sally that caroline is n't dying ... bill : he damn well better not . sally : why am i even asking ? of course your dad is up to something . that is why you 're here -- to help him bury me . liam : i do n't follow my father 's marching orders . but i am here to write an article about you . and so far , the only information available to me is that you pilfered forrester , crashed my wedding , and but for thomas , you 'd be in jail . so ... sally : not my finest moments . liam : yeah . are there a few of those ? because , if so ... [ cell phone beeps ] liam : ... i 'd like to hear them . sally : i have done a lot of growing because of thomas . i need him here . desperately . but i am not gon na pressure him to come back . your cousin is dying , and that trumps everything , even the survival of spectra . so i 'm gon na have to succeed on my own . i just really hope i have a chance with someone like your dad against me . liam : well , i ca n't speak to his ambitions . but i promise you , i will write an honest article . eric : to what do i owe this pleasure ? brooke : i brought these by for quinn . eric : oh , good . i 'll see that she gets them . she 's holed up in the study working on some new designs . brooke : is everything okay ? not that it 's any of my business . eric : well , we have a house guest . i 've allowed sheila to stay in the guest room . james : well , that 's healing fine . i think we can leave the bandage off . your pupils are no longer dilated . sheila : okay , but my heart keeps racing , james . james : well , your pulse is normal , as is your blood pressure . sheila : i 'm having problems focusing . james : really , sheila ? are you being honest with me ? because diagnostically , your vitals are fine . i 'd say you 're ready to be moved from this house . [ suspenseful music playing ] steffy : i get that you want liam to write a review on sally and spectra fashions . but he already has so much on his conscience . bill : liam -- steffy : he 's keeping a secret from thomas and her ! bill : he has to learn there 's a time and a place to be a boy scout ! this is about loyalty . having his priorities in order . now , someday , my boys are going to inherit all this . but neither one of them can handle it alone . each one lacks something the other one compensates for . they complement each other . now , liam has to grow a pair . and this assignment trashing sally is an opportunity for him to do just that . steffy : so you hope . liam : cool . looks like there 's more to you than flash , grit , and inflated confidence . sally : thank you ? liam : i 'm kidding . i 'm talking about your sensitivity . which does poke through now and again . sally : you 're talking about what i said about caroline and thomas earlier ? [ sighs ] look , liam ... i know what it 's like to suffer . i was raised by two parents with addiction problems . i was taken in by my grams , and i pretty much raised coco on my own . so , yes . i know what it feels like to struggle . to fight to survive . obviously nowhere even close to what caroline is going through right now ... but i have had to do a lot of things on my own . liam : yeah , you do n't -- [ chuckles ] you do n't appear to have a problem with that . sally : as long as it 's a level playing field . this is my aunt sally 's building . there 's a lot of history here . and she wants me to carry it on , and i will . as long as i am given a fair shot . is that too much to ask ? liam : no . it 's not . brooke : i guess it was only a matter of time before sheila and quinn went at it , but a full on fight ? eric : it got completely out of hand . there 's no excuse for that kind of violence . brooke : [ sighs ] and now you have her staying here in the house . eric : the doctor insisted that she be observed for the next 24 hours , so ... my conscience would n't let me just kick her to the curb , so ... brooke : okay . so now what ? eric : i reached out to a familiar face to reassess her . brooke : who ? eric : james warwick . sheila : i ca n't possibly leave . i 'm still disoriented , groggy . i - i nearly fell to the floor right before you got here . james : yes , i know that . sheila : well , then , all the more reason to be compassionate here . i -- i was married to you . we share a daughter . you know , i - i still talk to mary ? i talked to her the whole time ... while i was inside . james : while you were in prison , you mean . sheila : the point is we 're still family , and family looks out for one another . james : eric asked me to evaluate you . it 's apparent you 're well enough to leave this house . but it 's also apparent that you do n't want to . now , what i suggest is you gather your things together , and i 'll go and talk to eric . sheila : not so fast , dr. warwick . that is , if you still want to be a doctor . bill : i have a meeting with the zoning commission about sky . steffy : you 're getting ahead of yourself . bill : i do n't think so . steffy : you 're not gon na wait for liam and see how his interview went with sally ? bill : liam better do exactly as i told him to . he knows what the consequences will be if he does n't . steffy : do you mind if i wait , then ? bill : no . but if you touch sky , be careful with her . sally : these still need work . i - i realize that . liam : no , these are not bad . sally : but they need to be better . thanks to monte carlo , the whole entire world is watching . everything is riding on this , liam . it 's ... all or nothing . liam : so ... so , what ? so -- so thomas ca n't give you any input at all ? sally : [ sighs ] he 's tending to his son 's dying mother . he ca n't focus on anything else . i am just under so much pressure with this showing . i 'm good , liam , i am . i believe in myself . but ... without thomas ... [ sighs ] i just feel so empty . like i 've lost a part of myself . [ sighs ] and i know -- i know it 's only temporary . i do . and then -- but that makes me feel even worse , because i 'm sitting here waiting for caroline to die so that he can come back to me . that is so ugly . why am i in this position ? why ? liam : i will give you a fair reading . i promise you that . sally : that is all i ask . [ scoffs ] sorry i got ... so emotional . that is -- that is not like me . liam : maybe it is . sally : no . no , i 'm tough . i learned that from my aunt sally . nothing 's gon na destroy me . except maybe your father . eric : i reached out to james . he happened to be in l.a . brooke : that was a lucky coincidence . eric : or good timing . but i ca n't help but feel bad for sheila . she comes to l.a. , she gets accused of shooting at quinn , she gets thrown in jail , and now she 's suffered a concussion at quinn 's hands . brooke : i hear a `` but `` coming . eric : well , she 's sheila , is n't she ? i do n't think i 'll ever completely trust her . brooke : i do understand . eric : i trust james , though , and he knows sheila really well . brooke : so you 're hoping he 'll give you an accurate report on her condition . eric : mm - hmm . and that she 's fully recovered , and she can leave . move on with her life . sheila : you do n't want to force my hand , james . james : force you to do what , exactly ? never mind . i am not taking the bait . sheila : no , you know what ? there is so much more going on here than you realize . eric is married to a horrible person . she 's -- she 's dishonest . she 's deceptive . she 's going to destroy him . james : i think i know something about that . sheila : [ sighs ] she 's worse than i was . james : i 'm not here at eric 's wife 's behest . i 'm here because eric asked me to give an accurate diagnosis . sheila : and that 's what you 're going to do . you 're gon na tell him i 'm not ready to leave . james : in my opinion , you are . sheila : then change your opinion . james : you want me to lie to eric ? sheila : i told you , our daughter , mary and i , we -- we still talk . james : i know that . sheila : not of everything she 's told me . about you . why are n't you practicing ? it 's like you 've fallen off of the face of the earth . you 're writing prescriptions to yourself . james : you do n't know that 's true . sheila : oh , we both know that it is . you 're addicted to painkillers . and if the medical board knew , you 'd lose your license forever . we do n't want that to happen , now , do we ? liam : this is wrong , steffy . this is really , really wrong . m - my dad already lied to your brother , and now he 's about to ruin -- ruin -- multiple lives , all ... for this . for this ... monument to his ego . steffy : well , tell that to douglas . because there 's a family at stake . a little boy needs his dad . liam : thomas is gon na be in douglas ' life no matter where he 's living . and let 's be honest -- he 's in love with sally , not caroline . steffy : are you sure about that ? liam : yeah , i am . i 've seen them together . so have you . steffy : have you seen thomas and caroline together ? liam : obviously not lately . steffy : well , i have . when you were with sally , caroline sent me a photo . they look happy . they need this time and space , and that 's exactly what your father is giving them . so please do n't fall for sally 's act . and do n't forget all the things that she 's done to me , my family , and the company . you ca n't feel sorry for her . i 'm not taking pleasure in this . but she 's getting what she deserves . sally : [ sighs ] i am almost finished with it , saul . i will be down soon . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] james : i had a slight problem with pain medication . but i 'm in recovery . and i 'm doing well . sheila : that 's wonderful to hear . james : do n't do this to me . sheila : i do n't want to do it , james . but why should i help you if you do n't help me ? james : you want me to lie to eric . sheila : i 'm asking you to help me protect eric . he 's with a woman who has already caused him great pain . james : this is blackmail . sheila : and what you have done is criminal . i 'll go to the medical board . i 'll tell the whole world how you abused your privileges as a doctor . james : i 've stopped . sheila : too late to save your license . your practice . you were writing yourself prescriptions to support your drug habit . you do n't have to do this , james . just tell eric i 'm not well enough to leave the house . james : what are you gon na get out of this , sheila ? sheila : i already told you . i 'm -- i 'm protecting eric . james : you do n't ever want to leave here , do you ? [ knock on door ] sheila : you do as i say , or your career 's history . eric : may i come in ? sheila : yes . please . c - come on in . eric : how are you feeling ? sheila : oh ... uh ... a little woozy , i guess . eric : james , what 's the , uh , diagnosis ? is she ready to leave ? can she be on her own ? james : dr. andrews was right . she 's suffered a concussion . and with the continuing symptoms , there may be bruising on the brain . cerebral contusions . she needs more time to heal . eric : well , sh - should she be in a hospital ? james : well , i would recommend imagining , just for confirmation , but ... well , the problem is , if we go to a hospital , i would have to report the incident . and i would have to tell them that she got injured at the hands of mrs. forrester . i ca n't guarantee that the police will not get involved . when you reached out to me , you said you wanted to keep this quiet . i mean , if you no longer feel this well , then , uh , i will call an ambulance right away . sheila : eric , i - i do n't want you to have to go through that . eric : what 's the alternative ? james : i think she should stay here . i think she ... needs time to heal . eric : i do n't want this to get out . i - i ... my family 's been through enough already . sheila : then -- then what are you saying , eric ? are you saying that it 's okay for me to stay ? eric : yes , until you 're recovered . sheila : [ exhales sharply ] thank you . eric : i want this to stay between us . james : yes , you have my word . of course . i will go and pick up the things that i need . and , uh , i 'll come back . eric : all right . i 'll show you out . | steffy tells bill that she is surprised that he has confided in her about his plan for spectra . bill laments that her husband better get in on the plan too and not sabotage it or he will be out of the business and perhaps family too . liam tells sally that he does not follow his father 's marching orders . he wants to hear more of her side of the story . she says she needs thomas here but she is not going to call him back . she just hopes she has a legitimate chance now against his dad . liam can not assure her that but says he will write an honest article . brooke stops by and eric tells her that quinn is holed up designing and they now have a houseguest as sheila is in the guest room . james examines sheila and asks if she is being truthful as it looks like all her vitals are fine and it is time for her to be moved from this house . sally tells liam that she has had to do a lot of things on her own . she was raised in a troublesome household and then raised by her grams and she pretty much raised coco . this is nothing like what caroline is going through but she has had her share of tough breaks . brooke shows her dismay that sheila is there . eric says he could not bring himself to throw her out and it will only be a short time . james tells sheila that it is apparent that she is able to leave this house but also apparent that she does not want to . he says again there is no reason she can not leave so he will go tell eric . sheila says not so quick , doctor , that is if he still wants to be a doctor . bill tells steffy that he has an appointment . she can stay but just watch out for his sky . sally shows liam her designs which he says are real good . she says without thomas she feels so empty and under a lot of pressure . she feels like she is just sitting here waiting for caroline to die so thomas can come back to her and that is so ugly . liam sides with her and says he will give her a fair piece . she says great as she is listening to her inner voice and her aunt sally and nothing will stop her unless it is his father . |

liam : not much . she does n't like talking about it . ivy : [ scoffs ] that 's 'cause there 's a reason for that . liam : yeah , ivy . it was traumatic . her cousin tried to kill her . ivy : except aly 's the one who died , liam ! steffy 's still here . she 's still walking around . she 's still alive . liam : that does not make steffy the bad guy . what happened to aly was super- tragic , and we all wish there was something we could have done about it . ivy : [ chuckles ] yeah ? well , steffy did something , all right . liam : steffy was just changing her tire . aly tried to run her over . ivy : no , no , that is not what i saw . liam : that 's because you were n't there yet , ivy ! ivy : no , because by the time i got there , they were fighting ! liam : yeah , of course they were fighting ! aly attacked steffy , and they were struggling when aly fell and hit her head on a rock ! ivy : is that what happened ? liam : what kind of question is that ? ivy : because it seems to be the only question that matters . liam : do n't -- do n't do that . ivy : tell me you have n't felt it . when you and steffy are alone , you 're sitting with her , tell me you do n't feel her distraction or her -- her anxiety . liam : okay , ivy , whatever this is , this has to stop . i get that you 're angry . you 're angry with steffy and me because of what happened between us . i hurt you , and i 'm so sorry about that . but i really loved you , and i do think we can still -- ivy : no , do n't say -- do n't say that to me ! you ca n't say that anymore ! you chose steffy ! and now you have her , and that means you have her and all of her secrets . do you really want to know what happened to aly that night ? you go and speak to your girlfriend ! thomas : [ sighs ] caroline : hey , stop . what are you doing ? it 's good . thomas : it 's not good enough for my dad . caroline : you know what ? you just -- you need a little bit of a twist . you need to -- you need to kind of see it and say , `` okay , i 've been there , and so i 'm just gon na take it a little bit further . `` can ... thomas : yeah . caroline : so , what if you did something kind of like this and this ? you know ? hello ? thomas : [ clears throat ] caroline : wow . okay . i totally lost you on that one , did n't i ? thomas : no , no . uh ... caroline : what ? is it just too out there for you , or what ? thomas : it -- it 's not that . caroline : it 's steffy . you told your dad that she 's fine , but you 're concerned . i mean , she means a lot to you , and you just -- you want to be there for her . thomas : yes , i do . wyatt : so you decided to play hooky , huh ? ivy : hmm . no , actually . wyatt : lunch meeting ? huh ? ivy : i , uh , i went to the office , and i saw liam . wyatt : wow , okay . so what happened with that ? ivy : he thinks we can still be friends . if he says all the right things , he apologizes correctly , that voilà . wyatt : okay , he made you upset . ivy : it 's insulting . steffy comes back into town . i mean , i should n't actually be upset because it was inevitable , apparently . wyatt : he really riled you up today , did n't he ? ivy : because steffy 's the one who broke up a committed relationship , yet i 'm the one who 's being hurtful and vicious . wyatt : wait , he said that to you ? okay , but you did n't accuse her ... ivy : liam thinks she 's the victim in all this . wyatt : so he has n't seen the video ? ivy : no . he has n't . and steffy has n't said anything , either . wyatt : and you did n't , either ? okay , well , you must have said something if he got all defensive about it . ivy : wyatt , i just want him to realize that his incredible , edgy steffy is capable of doing some pretty bad things . wyatt : ivy , we talked about this . you got to let steffy deal with this in her own way . ivy : well , maybe she needs a little more motivating . wyatt : what 'd you do ? ivy : i just -- all i said was that `` if you really want to know what happened to aly that night , you should go and talk to steffy . `` steffy : i 've been looking for you . i did n't think you 'd be here . liam : hey . yeah . um , i just had some reports to drop off for wyatt . steffy : oh , i just saw him . he 's -- he 's at home at the beach house . liam : you left the meeting , that 's where you went ? steffy : i needed him to take care of something for me . liam : something for work ? steffy : his new girlfriend . liam : ah . ivy . steffy : yeah . somebody 's got to remind her that i 'm her boss and she needs to show a little respect . i 'd ask you to do it , but she 's not feeling very warm and fuzzy towards you . liam : yeah . tell me about it . she was just here , and she let me have it . steffy : god . this needs to stop . she needs to get over this . liam : by `` this , `` you mean us ? steffy : yeah , that 's why -- that 's why she 's mad . liam : well , i 'll tell you something . mad does n't even begin to cover it , 'cause you should have heard what she said -- about you , specifically . steffy : like what ? liam : just , you know , that she 's too innocent and i clearly am interested in somebody more dangerous and aggressive and ... bad . like you . steffy : [ scoffs ] she 's so immature . she 's jealous . liam : well , see , that 's what i thought , too , but then , um ... then she brought up aly and the night she died . steffy : she wo n't stop talking about it . that 's why i saw wyatt . liam : just get her to rein it in or ... steffy : to help her deal with it . it 's not good that she keeps rehashing this . we all know what happened . aly lost it , and she attacked me . and sadly she 's -- she 's gone . liam : because she fell and she happened to hit her head on a rock . ivy thinks something else happened , though . steffy : what did -- what did she say ? liam : i mean , she did n't , like , come out and say anything , but i get the sense that she blames you . she thinks you 're responsible for aly 's death . and , of course , i told her that 's not true . i mean , i 'm right , right ? you 're not responsible for aly 's death , are you ? | ivy thanks wyatt for bringing her coffee the next morning . he says it is almost as sexy with her putting his clothes on as in taking them off . he does not mind them being late for work ; they can tell all they had a breakfast meeting . she tells him how lucky he is that he did not delete that video . he says it is still there because she asked him not to . at the meeting steffy is clearly distracted when they ask her about lt . baker questioning her . she says it is no story ; she has taken care of it .. everything is under control . liam is surprised this is the first he is hearing about it . she jokes that he was more interested in the hotdog they gave him at lunch than about aly , so nothing to worry about . they did n't even get started when steffy said there was something she needed to take care of and needed to go ; it would not take long . ridge tells the others that for some reason steffy is on baker 's radar and he wants to know why . steffy shows up at wyatt 's and says he knows why she is there . she demands to know if he deleted the video . he admits that no he did n't . ivy is hurting . she was the closest to aly as anyone . steffy says ivy is blackmailing her , also wyatt . he is lashing out at steffy because she chose liam over him . they both feel like they got a raw deal but this is not a game she is playing . she realizes this video could get her in real trouble with ivy going behind her back and spreading these rumors . she is innocent . aly attacked her and she defended herself . the video is dangerous and does not show what really happened . |
samantha : you 're running eric 's company . brooke : he 's the creative side , i handle the business . samantha : well , i can see why stephanie might have a problem with that , but i still do n't see what it has to do with me . brooke : she 's using you to get back at me . that is why she brought you here . samantha : i 'm here on business . i 'm an interior decorator . brooke : oh , let me guess . stephanie hired you to redo ridge 's house . samantha : no . this is supposed to be a secret . i am here renovating a house for mr. marone and his fiancée . brooke : massimo ? he 's in on this , too ? well , of course . they could n't beat me separately . they thought they 'd have better luck doing it together . samantha : i 'm sorry . either i missed something , or you 're the most paranoid person i 've ever met . ridge : logan . hey . i 'm glad you 're here . i see you 've met samantha . eric : too expensive . it wo n't generate profits . thorne : dad ? eric : if she sent you down here to calm me down , you just forget about it . thorne : who ? eric : brooke . thorne : what 's going on ? eric : oh , she vetoed the collection . thorne : what ? eric : thorne , i worked -- i worked months on creating the most innovative designs that i 've ever produced in my whole career , and they 're not even gon na see it to the pattern room because i 'm just another employee around here . thorne : dad , you founded this company . it 's your name on the door . eric : yeah , yeah , it is , is n't it ? well , there 's the irony . your mother and i created this -- this business so that we would n't have to take orders from anybody , so that we could control the product , from the drawing board to the -- to the runway . thorne : does she know about this ? eric : what , you mother ? yeah , yeah , i told her . thorne : what did she say ? eric : she says just to forget about it . it 'll be all -- it 'll be over soon . thorne : what does she mean ? eric : i suppose she means to finish the collection and move on to the next thing . thorne : that sounds like good advice . eric : pretty good advice . it 's about all i can do . brooke controls this company , and even your mother knows there 's nothing to be done about that . macy : why do n't you come in ? deacon : oh , come on , for god 's sake , we 're gon na have to listen to this crap ? ! come on , macy , she 's playing us ! stephanie : no i 'm not . deacon : you 're gon na tell me that you came all the way down here to talk about brooke ? ! that 's bs . you want to talk about little d . stephanie : yes , it does involve him . deacon : see ? macy : wait , wait , wait -- what about brooke ? stephanie : it involves the boy , both of you , and brooke . deacon : no , no , you mean getting even with brooke , do n't you ? no , thanks . stephanie : macy , will you at least listen to me ? deacon : no , no , we 're not gon na listen . look , i understand that you 're angry , but i am little d -- eric 's guardian , and there 's nothing you or anyone else can do about it . stephanie : that 's correct , but you could do something for me . macy : if this is about contesting deacon 's guardianship , you really should contact our attorney . stephanie : i 'm not going to do that . i do n't want to do that . deacon : well , now , why exactly is that ? i mean , a couple days ago , you were dead - set against it . stephanie : well , the situation 's changed . deacon : oh , what , amber and little ricky do something to get on your bad side ? stephanie : no . brooke stole the company , and you have the ability to help me get it back . deacon : me ? stephanie : you 're the boy 's legal guardian . you vote his shares in forrester creations . deacon : are you actually telling me that i have forrester stock ? stephanie : no . it 's the boy 's stock . but you 're his guardian . and until he 's 21 , the guardian votes the stock . deacon : and you want me to vote to throw brooke out of office ? stephanie : i 'm hoping , deacon , that you will help me return the ownership of this company to the rightful owner . deacon : you are absolutely -- i do n't even know where to start . you come down and bust up my honeymoon for a business deal ? stephanie : well , yes , i did . macy , i do n't have a lot of time . we 've got to do this before brooke becomes aware that anything 's going on . deacon : no , forget it . you 've never given a damn about me . i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na do anything to help you . brooke : your friend thinks i 'm paranoid . ridge : well , i guess i should ask what you were talking about then . samantha : oh , apparently , your mother and your biological father are out to get her . ridge : actually , they are . brooke : they are trying to set you two up . ridge : what ? me and sam ? brooke : yes . nick : no . no , that was me , actually . brooke : you ? samantha : now the gang is all here . brooke : you two know each other ? nick : yeah , we met . samantha : nick asked me to escort ridge to massimo 's wedding . brooke : you 're going to take her to the wedding ? samantha : oh , no , i turned him down . i outgrew those kind of games in high school . brooke : stephanie 's the one playing games here , not me . so why do n't you go back to new york or london or wherever it is that you came from ? samantha : and leave you to take care of the marone brothers ? brooke : my personal life is none of your business . samantha : that 's true . that 's true . but i am curious about one thing . there 's a wedding coming up . and which of massimo 's sons will you be going with ? ridge : i 'm kind of curious about that myself . deacon : okay , well , you know what ? hey , thanks for stopping by , stephanie . great seeing you . stephanie : deacon , deacon , please think this through . deacon : you and your entire family labor under the assumption that we want to get even with brooke the same as you do . we do n't . no . we got married because we love each other , and we love little d. and i 'm not about to use that little boy to screw brooke over , and i 'm sure as hell not gon na let you do it ! macy : look , deacon , i do n't think that 's what stephanie 's suggesting . stephanie : your wife is right . this is about my husband . deacon : oh . oh , wait a second . now it 's about her husband . every time she opens her mouth , it 's something different , macy . stephanie : listen to me -- you 're the boy 's guardian , and you control his voting shares . deacon : well , how the hell is it gon na look if i use that power to -- to stick it to brooke ? or more importantly , how is it gon na look to rick and amber if they choose to sue me , all right ? ! i 'm gon na come off looking like some greedy , selfish bastard , which is probably exactly what you want , because then that way , what , you get the company back , and they get the kid . how stupid do you think i am ? ! stephanie : i give you my word of honor , this is not a ploy . deacon : oh , oh , wait , now we 've got her word of honor . kind of like the way thorne gave macy his word of honor or the way that rick and amber told me that i 'd have a chance with my kid . you know , if i had a dollar for every time you forresters have broken your promise to me , we would have flown down here in our own damn jet ! stephanie : you have no reason to trust me , i understand that . deacon : that 's the first smart thing you 've said ! stephanie : but i have no reason to trust you , do i , deacon ? ! and that 's what my lawyer said ! deacon : you know , maybe you should have listened to him . would have saved you a flight down here . stephanie : you do n't get it . i did n't have to bring this to your attention . i did n't have to give you this information , but here i am . macy : deacon , stephanie is taking a big risk coming down here . stephanie : do n't you understand ? i have given you the power to make significant changes in forrester creations . deacon : all you want is some little puppet that 's gon na vote like you want him to . stephanie : you do n't get this . this is an enormous risk that i 've taken . i would take any risk , though , if i could do this for my husband . you have absolutely no idea how much this would mean to him . this is what this is about . it 's about my husband ! you have no idea the humiliation and the frustration that that man has suffered all of these years . just today , she rejected his collection ! macy : the whole collection ? stephanie : yes . macy : and did she give him a reason ? stephanie : she does n't have to give him a reason . brooke controls 49 % of the voting stock . my family controls 49 % of the voting stock . macy : and deacon controls the other 2 % ? stephanie : and if he will vote in my favor -- deacon : which i already told you ai n't gon na happen . stephanie : if you will vote in my favor , name your price . deacon : i do n't want anything ! do n't you get it ? ! for once in my life , i have everything i want ! macy : yes , deacon , you do . and so do i. honey -- we are so lucky . do n't you think we can afford to be a little generous ? thorne : did you and mother discuss anything else ? eric : no , thorne . i was n't in the mood . thorne : dad , i hope you did n't take this out on her . eric : no , i did n't . i know exactly where to direct these feelings . i just -- do n't think it would do any good . thorne : look , you let me talk to brooke , and you give mother a call , okay ? eric : no , no , i do n't want to call your mother about this . stop pushing this , all right ? she and i have nothing left to say to one another . thorne : dad , mother knows that you 're upset , okay ? and she 's worried about you . eric : no , thorne , no , i 'm not gon na call her , and i do n't want you to call her either , all right ? you know how she feels about brooke . let 's not throw any more fuel on that fire . thorne : you know what ? brooke is a big girl . she can take care of herself . nick : well , you heard the man 's question . let 's have it . door number one or two ? samantha : you 're just gon na let her take her pick ? nick : the biggest problem is gon na be sneaking you into the wedding . brooke : sneaking me in ? nick : massimo had you banned . brooke : what did i tell you ? nick : oh , do n't worry . my mother will have something to say about that . ridge : so will i . [ samantha laughs ] samantha : thank you . you know , i think you guys just solved a big problem for me . i was trying to figure out how to configure the guest bedrooms upstairs , and i think i got it . this one 'll be ridge 's , this one 's for nick , and the one in between with the connecting doors and the fire escape , it 's all yours . deacon : macy , please tell me that you 're not actually buying this . macy : deacon , you 've been trying to prove to everybody how much you 've changed , right ? you 're not selfish , you 're not greedy . you 're just a good man who 's tried to overcome a lot of tough breaks . well , eric forrester has had a lot of tough breaks , too . no , you were n't around , but i remember what it did to eric when brooke took over his company . deacon : you know , stephanie practically begged you not to marry me . macy : because she loves me , and she was trying to protect me . stephanie : i do love her , deacon . deacon : and you despise me . stephanie : i despise what you did to bridget . i 'm not happy about this custody thing with rick and amber . but you 've got a chance here to show your wife you are the man she thinks you are . you 've got an opportunity to just put this all aside and maybe for the first time in your life do something because it 's the right thing to do . macy : deacon , eric was just like you -- a man trying to build his own business . now , how would you feel if somebody came in and tried to tell you how to run a business that you built with your own sweat and blood ? deacon : how would i feel ? i know exactly how it feels , and excuse me , but you 've got a little selective amnesia going on . are we not talking about the same guy that took a car and tried -- no , not tried -- ran me over ? ! stephanie : all right , deacon . i have no argument for that . i -- deacon , if you do this , i 'll be forever grateful . i do n't know what else to say . deacon : brooke would be furious , not to mention rick and amber . macy : i thought we were through letting brooke push us around . deacon : you actually want me to do this ? macy : yes . deacon : why ? macy : well , if my mother were in this situation , i would hope somebody would come along and do the same thing to help her . deacon : it 's not the same . marone owns spectra . macy : no , but he 's not telling her what to do . she is still in charge . and i think that eric should be , too . we 'll do it , stephanie . just -- just tell us what papers we need to sign . stephanie : well , i do n't have any papers . what i have to do is call a board meeting tomorrow in los angeles . i was hoping the three of you would come back with me . macy : we 'll be there . deacon : stephanie , i need to speak to my wife alone . stephanie : of course you do , deacon . i have the corporate jet . i 'll be at the airport . we 'll wait for you . deacon : yeah , well , i would n't fire up the engines just yet . deacon : macy , what are you doing ? you want me to vote against brooke ? macy : i want you to vote for eric . what 's wrong with that ? deacon : this marriage is supposed to be a new start for both of us , right ? a new family , new priorities . macy : is n't doing the right thing a priority ? deacon : i do n't know how to get this through to you -- i want as little to do with the forresters as possible , and so should you . macy : yes , but you have to vote , deacon , one way or the other , and the fact is , brooke stole their company . deacon : the fact is also that she took your husband . macy : this does not have anything to do with thorne and me . deacon : come on , are you gon na tell me that this has nothing to do with revenge ? you would n't have even let stephanie in this room if she was n't offering you brooke 's head in a platter . macy : no , no , this is not about revenge , deacon . deacon : no , no , i know , i know , this is about justice . macy : and not just for me . deacon : it 's about thanking the forresters for all the nice things that they 've ever done for you , right ? what they 've done to me , your mother , how they 've kept us down -- we do n't owe these people anything . macy : so now you want to make them suffer ? deacon : no . macy : well , that 's what they 're doing , deacon , every day , every day that they have to walk into that office and take orders from brooke . deacon : listen , i worked there , okay ? i know how tense it is . macy : right . it 's a family business , deacon . and stephanie and eric deserve to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment , just like you do about your business , just like i do about my music . but they ca n't . deacon : maybe it 's time they leave and find a new business . macy : oh , come on , it 's their name on the door . deacon : macy , why do you care so much about this ? please , do not let stephanie put you in the middle of this . macy : deacon , it 's one vote . and then eric gets back his company and we can move on with our lives . deacon : any way you slice it , it 's gon na look like we 're trying to settle old scores . i do n't want to do that . macy : i do n't either . deacon : okay , then why are we talking about this ? please , i 'm begging you . let 's just stay out of this . eric : she 's wrong , thorne . she 's wrong about everything . these designs are good . thorne : brooke actually said those designs were no good ? eric : no , no , she said they were too expensive to produce and that they would n't sell in this economy . what she does n't know is that it 's not always about money . it 's about enhancing our reputation . thorne : you know what , dad ? let 's produce them anyway , prove brooke wrong . and then maybe next time , she 'll listen to you . eric : yeah . bottom line is , it 's her call . thorne : but you know it 's a mistake . eric : we 'll divide the company . we ca n't do that again . it already happened once with ridge . i 'm not gon na do that to the employees . thorne : dad , this is not about the employees . this is about you -- eric : i had a vision for this company ! i knew exactly where we were going and exactly how we were gon na get there , and now i can -- all i can do is make suggestions . it 's just -- this is killing me . [ eric sighs ] [ phone rings ] stephanie : hello ? brooke : i know what you 're doing , stephanie . stephanie : brooke ? brooke : did you hear me ? i 'm on to you . stephanie : well , i -- i do n't know what you 're talking about , brooke . brooke : your latest attempt at matchmaking . it was n't enough to strand nick and me on an island , you had to ship somebody in for ridge . stephanie : what ? brooke : you know what i 'm talking about . do n't play innocent with me . your dear little family friend . stephanie : oh , samantha . brooke : your plan 's not going to work . it 's going to fail as miserably as all of the others . face it , stephanie , you ca n't touch me . jonathan : you 're back . stephanie : yes . jonathan : deacon 's not with you ? stephanie : no . jonathan : you could n't get through to him ? stephanie : well , i do n't know . i mean , macy understood . she got it right away . but he 's suspicious . jonathan : can you blame him ? stephanie : no , not really . you were right . there was a great deal of animosity . it 's just -- if we could just get past that . jonathan : you had to give it a try . stephanie : well , i did . i really did , because -- this is what eric wants . he wants to be back in charge at forrester . jonathan : stephanie -- stephanie : i know , i know you told me not to give up . jonathan : stephanie -- little eric : stephanie ! stephanie : you came . macy : we decided to cut our honeymoon short . we 're going to attend your board meeting , stephanie . it 's time brooke logan finally got what 's coming to her . | brooke tells samantha stephanie is using her . samantha explains she is in town renovating massimo & jackie 's house and that brooke is the most paranoid person she ever met . ridge walks in . thorne walks in while eric is changing his designs , eric vents to him about brooke . thorne wants eric to talk to stephanie . eric tells thorne they have nothing left to say . |
( knock on door ) ( knock ) steffy : donna , you up yet ? marcus : steffy . steffy : marcus . thank god . ( sighs ) marcus : hey . steffy : i left you a bunch of messages . when you did n't get back to me , i thought ... marcus : i know . i just got a lot goin ' on right now . steffy : i know . you said that last night , you ca n't get into it , but i want -- marcus : no , and -- and i - i still ca n't . steffy : marcus , i have a bad feeling about this . what is it ? i need to know . marcus : look , baby , maybe i 'm wrong about this whole situation , okay ? and i end up lookin ' like a chump , but it 's owen , what he might have done . i 'll know more later once i hear back from bridget . steffy : this is starting to sound dangerous . marcus , i do n't -- i do n't want to lose you on this . marcus : look , i just -- i just got ta know where this leads , okay , so i can protect my mom . steffy : ( sighs ) marcus : you do understand that , do n't you ? steffy : just be careful , marcus , whatever it is . [ scene_break ] thorne : i have to say i 'm a little surprised you want to meet here . ridge : i was hopin ' we could all speak to donna together . felicia : donna ? why ? ridge : ( sighs ) concession we need to make . felicia : uh , what kind of concession ? ridge : one i 'm hopin ' we can all get behind for the good of the company . look , after giving this a lot of thought , i want to apologize to donna . thorne : apologize ? apologize for what , ridge ? felicia : ( sighs ) ridge : i was wrong to try and force a transfer of ownership while dad 's in the shape he 's in . thorne : ( sighs ) ridge : i started a war that none of us can win , and only this company stands to be the big loser . i want us all to come back to work here , no matter who 's in charge . thorne : ( sighs ) felicia : and you 're actually gon na say all that to donna ? ridge : look , i have never been a big fan of a lot of her decisions so far , but i think this is what dad would want -- all of us workin ' here together , supporting the company that he built . felicia : that 's a really big attitude shift . thorne : no , it 's more like a 180 . felicia : yeah , i know . where 's it comin ' from , ridge ? ridge : after everything that happened , it made me realize a lot of things . i pushed donna too hard . i just thank god she pushed back when i had her sign that paper - taking dad off the ventilator . if it was n't for donna and owen , dad might not be alive today . [ scene_break ] marcus : okay , so how much longer do we have until we find out that owen tried to kill eric ? bridget : well , we should know within the hour . i have a friend of mine that works in the lab putting a rush on the tox screen . marcus : okay , cool . okay , look , i 'm at mom 's , okay ? so the minute you hear anything ... bridget : yeah , yeah , yeah . i 'll -- i 'll get ahold of you as soon as possible .

( scoffs ) wait , hey . hey , wait , wait . wait a minute . wait a minute . hope , hey , come on . do n't do that . do n't walk out on me . hope , come -- ( scoffs ) come on . brooke : hope , hey . honey , are you all right ? rick : hope ? liam : hope ? hope ? katie : oh , my god . bill : what are you doing ? where are your clothes ? liam : where did she -- where did she go ? where did -- bill : what is with your hair ? katie : are you okay ? liam : where -- where is she ? bill : is that a real tattoo ? liam : um , i -- hope ! hey ! hope ! ridge : liam , liam , liam . liam : yeah ? yeah ? ridge : she 's upstairs . i think she needs a minute . liam : she 's upstairs . ( breathing heavily ) hope ! hey , hope ! hey ! hope . hey . ( breathing heavily ) hope , come -- hey , just come on -- just come on down . just come down . i 'm not leaving until we 're married . ( breathing heavily ) | staring at liam 's dyed hair with a red streak through it and a gigantic tattoo on his neck , hope is aghast and has to ask if he was with steffy when this happened . he gulps but needs to tell the truth they promised each other and finally says yes . it was n't deliberate . hope had turned him down .he knows now with good cause .but he did n't think he had to sit home and mope around his house the night before his wedding . the more he admits , the deeper the hole he is digging . hope tells him to look in the mirror , steffy ruined him . people are always telling hope that she is too young , but she states that it is really liam who is not ready to get married . brooke suspects something is amiss and goes to check on hope and finds the lovebirds arguing in the guest house . she goes back and tells the group including bill . taylor drops in on steffy who admits what has been happening the last two days . she just wanted liam to have fun . he does n't laugh with hope the way he laughs with her . too bad he does n't realize that . |
katie : so , you have nothing to say for yourself ? brooke : [ sighs ] everything i say seems to be wrong . katie : you were the one person that i thought i would always be able to count on . god , i knew nothing . but taylor did . i should have listened to her from the very beginning . she tried to warn me . she said that you would steal bill away from me if i was n't careful , and is n't that exactly what happened ? brooke : no , katie , it is n't . and you 're still refusing to acknowledge your role in all of this . katie : oh , god , how many ways do i need to take responsibility ? i will take responsibility for my actions . you want me to take responsibility for yours . you chose to betray me in the worst possible way . and i guess my paranoia and my insecurities were well - founded , since my husband and my sister ca n't keep their hands off each other . brooke : you really have selective memory . you just want to feel sorry for yourself -- poor , maligned katie . and you want everybody else to feel the same . i am sick and tired of listening to you be the victim . katie : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] liam : we 're here . hope : yes , we are . liam : right on the doorstep of that life together we 've always wanted . hope : hmm . wyatt : so , how does barbecue sound for dinner , huh ? liam : um ... yeah . you know , i got some food i can cook . wyatt : no , no . let me . you guys should just ... sit and celebrate . i 'll just go down and get some ribs and chicken and -- and , uh ... veggie burgers , huh ? liam : uh [ chuckles ] yeah , um ... just get whatever . let me get you some cash . wyatt : no , no , no . i 'm okay . dad gave me a credit card the first day i moved in . liam : ah . wyatt : said he did the same for you . liam : uh , yes . that 's true . wyatt : you were too afraid to charge anything on it , though . [ laughs ] hope : uh , liam and bill kind of got off to a rocky start . wyatt : well , he did n't buy me a mansion on the beach , yet , so i 'm still guessing that he likes you better , huh ? [ laughter ] [ scene_break ] liam : you know , honestly , i would love it if my dad bought him his own mansion . wyatt : hey , before i go , [ chuckles ] uh , do you want me to move my stuff into another room so hope can have mine ? liam : uh , no , hope 's room is my room . you do n't need to do that . wyatt : oh . oh , i thought everybody needed their own space . [ clears throat ] hope : thank you , wyatt . that 's very , uh , considerate . um , but i think -- i think i 'm good . i 'm done having my own space . the closer i am to liam , the happier i 'll be . wyatt : that 's a very beautiful thing to say . you know , one day i hope that someone will feel that way about me , huh ? [ scene_break ] katie : oh , thank god . thank god we can finally drop the sisterly pretense that you 're on my side . brooke : i was on your side , of your marriage , and i still am . but do you know how unreasonable you 've been ? how erratic ? one week , you kicked bill out of his home , out of his office , and the next week you 're inviting him back in . katie : i 'm sorry . did i break some kind of code of etiquette for wives who get dumped for their sisters ? brooke : he walked out on you because of what you did , katie , not me . setting up spy cameras around the house . katie : oh , god . brooke : really ? everything is a test to you . you take off your ring . you tell him you want a divorce over and over again . oh , and guess what . you really did n't mean what you said . well , i ca n't take it anymore . i am not going to play that game with you , and i am not going to listen to this abuse to bill . katie : ha ! brooke : yes , that 's right . i called it abuse , because that 's exactly what it is . [ scene_break ] [ cork pops ] wyatt : ahh ! hope : mmm , i thought we were barbecuing . wyatt : why bother when you can get the stuff already barbecued ? malibu is awesome , by the way . hope : okay . uh , well , i will get some plates and some silverware . liam : uh , napkins , too . hope : mm - hmm . liam : um ... champagne glasses . wyatt : right . you did n't -- you did n't think i was planning for us to drink it out of the bottle , right ? liam : dude , you are a different kind of guy . i do n't know what you were planning . wyatt : i 'm just trying to keep you on your toes , bro . liam : [ laughs ] yeah . wyatt : but ... let me tell you what i 'm not sure of ... is my place here . you know , i - i do n't know what dishes to use and which are for special occasions . i - i do n't know if you 'll think it 's obnoxious if i go into the kitchen or any other room in the house and start grabbing things . liam : wyatt , you 're my brother , dude . wyatt : i was your brother a year ago . i 've been your brother all my life . we just have n't been wearing the same clothes and eating off the same plate . i mean , sure , it 's changed , but how much ? liam : uh ... yeah , i mean , i guess the -- i mean , the rule is it 's your house . wyatt : well , i -- it is and it is n't . you 've been living here all by yourself . and it 's your furniture , your stuff on the walls , everything 's the way that you want it , and now that , you know , hope 's moving in -- and i 'm happy for you both . i really am . it 's -- it 's just if this is supposed to be my home , too , then why was n't i asked first ? i do n't have a problem with it . i - i -- it 's just -- liam : no . you 're right . that 's ... damn . you 're right . that 's a good point . i mean , i bet you feel like a guest , not family yet . wyatt : yeah . liam : i 'll tell you what . you want to know the rules ? here 's the rules . anything that 's mine is yours . those are the rules . anything . wyatt : okay . liam : oh , man . not hope . [ chuckles ] except for hope . wyatt : [ laughs ] i knew there was a catch . liam : yeah . wyatt : all right . okay . [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] katie : i 'm abusing bill ? well , i - i guess i should apologize for that . brooke : i stopped expecting you to take responsibility for your life many years ago . katie : i do n't even know what that means . brooke : you would always blame yourself for things that you were n't really involved in or had no control over , like stormie 's death . you would cry , you would wring your hands , and you would squeeze pity out of anybody who listened . katie : [ chuckles dryly ] brooke : but then when it 's something that you created , something disastrous , like kicking your husband out of your house , you claim complete innocence . katie : that is ... an amazingly convenient world view for you to have . is that what you told yourself with eric and ridge and deacon ? that if they had wives , then those women were responsible for their own happiness , and if they got hurt , well , it was their own damn fault . brooke : no . you never really knew me , katie . and you want to know why ? katie : why do n't you tell me ? brooke : because you never really cared . you did n't care about me , about what i was feeling , what i was going through , what i might have needed at the time . all you cared about was yourself and how you could be taken care of and what you could do and what you could get . you treated all of us like that , even donna . and you know what ? we put up with it -- we did -- because you were the youngest and we were there to take care of you . and it was cute , and it was sometimes precious . but you know what ? it is not precious anymore . you need to stop blaming people for things that you can fix . or else it 's just a big waste of time . katie : well , i certainly do n't want my life to pass me by . [ sniffles ] so , since i need to get wise to myself , why do n't you educate me ? i want my marriage back . so , what do you think i should do , big sis ? what would you do ? [ scene_break ] brooke : i - i ca n't really tell you what to do . katie : is n't that what you 've been doing since bill walked out the door ? i mean , you say that i can make things right . so , please , please help me see it . brooke : i 'm not sure i 'm the right person to ask . i 'm a little too close to the situation , do n't you think ? and i did n't really escape unscathed . i lost a child . katie : yeah . my husband 's child . do you want sympathy from me ? brooke : nobody 's gon na make me feel ashamed for loving somebody . katie : see , that 's the problem . you come in here and you criticize me and you say i should rebuild my marriage . and in the same breath , you say you 're in love with bill . brooke : okay , that did n't really come out the way i intended . katie : you 're so hypocritical , saying that i should fix my marriage when you have no intention of letting that happen . brooke : that 's not true ! katie : it is true ! i know you ca n't help it . i - i actually see you a lot better than you think i do . how many times have you been in love , brooke ? how many weddings have you had ? just one for me on both counts . how many times have you followed your heart to your destiny ? is that what you think bill is now ? your new destiny ? or did you just want him because he was mine ? because for the first time in my life , i had something that you did n't . for the first time , someone chose me . you say that -- that you want to help me fix my marriage . but do n't tell me that you do n't like the attention . because bill is really , really good at sweeping a woman off her feet . i ought to know . but the next time he tells you that he loves you ... just remember ... he loved me first . as much as he 'd like to pretend , those feelings do n't just go away . and -- and if there 's this little voice in your head whispering , `` can i trust this ? `` , do n't be alarmed . get used to that voice . make friends with it . you 'll be hearing it a lot . because that 's what it 's like to love bill spencer . so , go ahead . use all your tricks and your talents and everything you do to make other women 's men fall at your feet . but do n't forget ... he 'll never be completely yours . [ scene_break ] wyatt : who wants another glass of champagne , huh ? hope : oh , none for me . thank you . liam : about ready ? hope : uh - huh . wyatt : [ chuckles ] you guys going out ? liam : uh , no . uh , turning in . wyatt : it 's a little early for bedtime , is n't it ? hope : well , it 's ... liam : we 're ... wyatt : ah . right . [ chuckles ] well , welcome home . and , uh , have a good night . hope : good night . liam : good night , bro . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] brooke : [ sighs ] [ gasps ] [ exhales sharply ] bill ! what are you doing here ? bill : coming home -- to you . we 're starting our life together , brooke .

[ chuckles ] hmm . you remember that night with the fireworks ? liam : i remember everything . hope : [ laughs ] okay , well , i know that we ca n't always be as happy as we are tonight or as happy as we were that night . liam : [ chuckles ] hope : but ... we should remember that we always can be again as long as we 're together . liam : i love you . hope : i love you .

[ sighs ] i do n't know if i can live with this . bill : you 've lived without love for too long . it 's not natural . least of all for you . love flows out of you . it 's like breathing . i love you . you 're worried about being disgraced . let me tell you something . if i spent my life worrying about what people thought of me , i never would have accomplished what i have . kiss me . or tell me to leave and do n't mean it . those are your two choices as far as i can tell . brooke : [ breathing heavily ] | brooke says everything she says seems to be wrong . brooke says katie is still refusing to take responsibility for her actions . katie says no , she will accept her own but she is refusing to take blame for brooke 's actions . taylor tried to warn her that brooke would steal bill away if she did n't watch out . brooke betrayed her in the worst possible way . and she guesses her paranoia and insecurities were right on track since her own sister and husband ca n't keep their hands off of each other . brooke offers that katie just wants to feel sorry for herself .poor maligned katie and she wants everyone else to feel the same . well , brooke says she is sick and tired of listening to katie be the victim . wyatt pops in on the lovebirds and asks how does bar - b - que sound for dinner . trying to sound okay with it , liam unfolds from hope and says he has food he can cook . wyatt insists . he will just run down to the market and get some ribs , chicken and some veggie burgers , and liam and hope can just sit and enjoy . liam gives in and says okay , he 'll get him some cash . wyatt says no need ; bill gave him a credit card the day he moved in . but he did n't buy him a mansion on the beach so that probably means he still likes liam better . liam wants to smile or laugh but ca n't . before he leaves , wyatt asks if they want him to move his things out so hope can have his room . liam says no , his room is hope 's room now . wyatt acts surprised and says he just thought everybody would want their own space . hope chimes in and says thank you but she will be all right not having her own space .. the closer to liam she is the happier she will be . wyatt says that is very beautiful and someday he hopes someone will feel that way about him . again liam is not sure how to take that . katie tells brooke that thank god they can finally drop the sisterly pretense that she was on her side . brooke says she was on her side and still is but katie has been so unreasonable and erratic . one week she is kicking bill out of his office and home and the next she is inviting him back in . bill walked out because of what katie did , not her . everything is a test for katie . she takes off her rings and says she wants a divorce , over and over again . and guess what , she did n't even mean it . brooke says she is not going to play that little game with her anymore . and she will not stand here and listen to this abuse to bill . katie scoffs . brooke says she is calling it abuse because that is exactly what it is . wyatt returns with a catered affair . he says why bother when malibu has it all prepared . he tells liam though that he 's still not quite sure where his place is here . he does n't know which dishes to use or what might be for special occasions . he does n't know which rooms he can go into and he does n't want to be obnoxious and start grabbing things . liam says they are brothers so it 's also his house . wyatt says not really . liam 's been living here a while and it 's his furniture and stuff on the walls . and now hope is moving in and he 's really happy for them , but if it 's his home too then why was n't he asked . liam ponders and says wyatt is right . it makes him feel like a guest and not family . liam says okay , here 's the rules . anything he has is wyatt 's . anything .. well except hope . she stifles a giggle . wyatt quips he knew there was a catch . |
deacon : are you sure you got that out of ridge 's office and not the preschool down the street ? i mean , it looks like a bunch of scribble . quinn : i snuck them out of ridge 's office myself . deacon : what the hell is this even supposed to be ? it looks like a -- looks like a guy in a space suit or something . quinn : it 's junk . apparently , ridge forrester has lost his ability to draw . katie : what was quinn even doing there ? is n't she supposed to be in some kind of treatment facility ? ridge : well , apparently , she got released 'cause she 's cured now . katie : well , she should n't be involved . look what happened last time . ridge : it 's not keeping brooke away from bill , is it ? katie : you do n't know that . ridge : struggling , katie . i ca n't draw , i ca n't create , and all because of spencer . bill : obviously , i made a very bad call ordering ridge 's fall from the helicopter . i reacted impulsively . but he did break up our wedding , sucker- punch me in the face , and drag you away . i had to do something . brooke : you went too far , bill . bill : yes . i went too far . but time has passed , ridge is fine . he 's back to his life 's passion -- making dresses . and now i want to focus on our future . will you do that with me ? aly : hope does n't know you were at your special spot near the eiffel tower . liam , she thinks you did n't come . liam : i -- i know , aly . i was late . aly : yeah , because ivy fell into the seine , and you jumped in and saved her . liam : ivy ! aly : you have to tell hope . liam , she needs to know you were there . liam : hope is married to wyatt , guys . it 's too late , okay ? it 's too late . aly : no . no , it 's not . it 's never too late , not for you and hope . ivy : it could n't hurt to explain to her that you were on you way . tell her it was my fault you did n't get there on time . aly : how did that happen , anyway ? thousands of people cross that bridge every day . i 've never heard of anyone falling in ? ivy : it was crowded , and ... i was up there , i was trying to take a photo , and then i was bumped , and i fell over . aly : that is so weird . you have to explain it to hope . when she finds out , it is going to change everything . bill : my son and your daughter are married . our families are connected -- for life . now , if we can have peace and respect flowing through the generations , come on . what a life it 'll be . brooke : right . it 'll be a while before there 's peace between liam and wyatt . bill : oh , now , they 're gon na be fine . hope will see to that . you know , she 's become an exceptional young lady , and i have -- i have come to really admire her . i 'll never do anything to hurt hope or anyone else you care about ever again . brooke : including ridge . bill : oh , i 'm gon na be his new best friend . ridge : that slimeball spencer -- he 's the reason i lost my identity . katie : it 's temporary . ridge : is it ? it 's been like this for weeks . there 's no improvement . katie : i think you should tell someone about this -- your dad or brooke . they would want to help you . ridge : no . no , i do n't want anyone to know about that . we 'll keep that between us . quinn : ridge is keeping a huge secret . the question is , why ? why ca n't he draw ? deacon : look , maybe it 's like writer 's block or something . you know , eventually , he 'll get it back . quinn : yeah , but how long has this been going on ? deacon : who cares ? quinn : i care . there 's a story here , deacon -- a big one . and you and i are gon na find out what it is . liam : you know , i was ... planning on marrying hope in paris . i had my ring , i was all set to meet her . even after ivy fell into the seine , i thought -- i thought i still had a chance . i 'm running through the streets of paris , i 'm soaking wet , i 'm headed to the eiffel tower as fast as i possibly can , and i ... i get there , and i look around , and i look , and i look ... and hope 's gone . so , yeah . so i was too late . aly : why did n't hope wait for you ? she should 've had faith you 'd be there . ivy : you were n't that late , liam . liam : well , i was late enough . i was late enough for her to run f with wyatt . brooke : you do n't have to be ridge 's best friend . i just want you to respect him . bill : he 's gon na be will 's stepfather someday . and i 'm gon na be r.j. 's . the spencers and the forresters -- one big happy family . brooke : yeah . that 's what i 've wanted all along . bill : i 'm ready to move on -- be the man you need , what this family needs . i 'm gon na be good to your sons , to your daughters . i 'll make nice with your sister . we can go on a double date with ridge and katie . brooke : my , my . some lofty goals you have . bill : well , let me tell you something -- in a month 's time , i 'm gon na be playing 18 holes with ridge , we 're gon na have a cocktail . maybe i 'll even ask him to join my poker game . brooke : assuming he forgives you . bill : how long can grumpy hold on to a grudge ? look , he got me back pretty good -- hijacks my helicopter , gets me to acknowledge what i did . he 's got katie , he 's got his kids , he 's got his work . life is pretty damn good . brooke : all 's well that ends well . bill : you said it , not me . brooke : i just wish i could say the same about quinn . bill : eh , do n't worry about her . she knows better than to mess with us again . brooke : the one downside to hope marrying wyatt -- she has a black widow for a mother - in - law . deacon : okay , i see the wheels turning . what do you got up your sleeve ? quinn : i am trying to figure that out . deacon : what is the big deal if ridge ca n't design ? who cares ? i mean , it 's not great for his career , but , i mean , the guy ca n't need money . my god , he 's got to be loaded . quinn : okay , deacon , try -- okay ? -- just try and follow me here . it 's not just that ridge ca n't draw . what caused it ? why does n't he want anyone to know ? deacon : just because nobody told you does not mean it 's this big secret . quinn : you did n't see his face earlier . he was panicked . he did n't want anyone to see these . deacon : he was probably embarrassed . i mean , look at this crap ! i 'd be embarrassed , too . quinn : no , it 's more than that . i can feel it . deacon : okay , all right . you know what ? what 's -- what 's the plan here ? and none of your crazy shenanigans , either . quinn : nobody 's saying anything about crazy shenanigans .

[ chuckles ] i 'm surprised to see you here . taylor : well , frankly , i 'm surprised to be here . you and hope were supposed to be over , especially after you had a child with my daughter . i 've never worried about steffy when she was with you . because i knew you would take care of her . i knew you would take care of each other because ... you two love each other . you always have . and love like that ... it just does n't disappear . and that 's why i 'm here . i want to make one last plea on behalf of steffy . hope : well , i appreciate you all so much .

[ scene_break ] carter : you begged me to keep it quiet . what changed ? maya : i 've just been feeling guilty that i have to be truthful and tell rick . and then just now in the showroom , i hear him talking to caroline about honesty and loyalty , and he said that those are the qualities that he most admires in me , carter . i feel like a hypocrite . carter : maya , you are honest and loyal . maya : not if i 'm keeping a big , huge secret from rick . it 's not fair . i - i have to tell him tonight after the show . carter : maya , are you sure ? maya : yes . i have to . rick hates secrets . i hope he understands , but ... i do n't know if he will .

james : yes . brooke : and she really does have a concussion ? or do you think maybe she 's just ... faking ? james : what , you do n't believe that she 's injured ? brooke : well , if it was anybody else but her , maybe i would believe it , but you and i both know what she 's capable of . i need to know the truth , james . james : this is a serious , complicated situation . in a case like this , we have to be extremely cautious . katie : [ panting ] wyatt : [ grunts ] katie : [ giggles ] mm . wyatt : well , well , well . katie : mm . well , well , well . wyatt : [ sighs ] i got a question for you . katie : mm - hmm . wyatt : do you ... do you always wear that sexy getup under your clothes ? katie : well , i guess you 're just gon na have to investigate more often . wyatt : oh , i -- yeah . i guess so , yeah . you know , for once , i 'm actually -- i 'm all right with your planning ahead . katie : i bet you are . wyatt : yeah , i am . katie : this is kind of a big step for me . wyatt : okay . yeah . i mean , it is for me , too . katie : i gave my heart away before , and i pretty much got it stomped on . wyatt : right . katie : and i used to think that i could trust my feelings , but now i 'm not so sure . wyatt : if there 's one thing you can be sure of , all right , it 's my feelings . all right ? i 've been through the same things you have , i 've asked all the same questions you 're asking . wondering and worried about everything you 're wondering and worried about . but not with us . after everything we 've been through , just being in this moment ... it 's good . i have no doubt in my mind that this is our time now . liam : do you want to go over there ? check on eric ? steffy : i just want to be able to enjoy this alone time with my husband . liam : can i say something ? steffy : [ sighs ] liam : i know how much family means to you . sometimes they frustrate you and they make decisions you do n't understand and they push you to your limit , but when you say that you would do anything for them ... i know you mean that because that 's -- that 's kind of what you do . you fight for the things you believe in and the people you love , and ... i 'm just saying , i 'm -- i 'm very grateful to be on that list . james : how are you feeling , sheila ? sheila : i just -- i do n't feel good . my head hurts more . james : brooke , would you turn down the lights as you leave , please ? brooke : i 'd like to stay while you examine her . sheila : [ thinking ] say no , james . get her out of here . james : her pulse is strong . she 's not in distress . follow this pen with your eyes , please . i 'm gon na shine the light in your eyes . brooke : is that normal ? james : yes , well , her pupils are equal , but they 're reacting slowly . brooke : i just need to know if she can be moved . i do n't think it 's appropriate that she 's here , and i think you would agree . james : the fall did n't make anything worse . it seems her condition is improving . sheila : no ! no ! i 'm not getting better . what are you doing ? brooke : so she 's recovering ? james : slowly . sheila : i swear , if you ruin this for me , you will regret it . james : well , as for moving her , i wouldn't . of course , if you want me to get an ambulance , i 'll take her to the hospital , but , uh ... eric did n't want that in case there was some potential publicity . i think she should rest here for a few days , and if things go well , then i wo n't have to come back . brooke : what are you doing ? are n't you gon na check her some more or ask some kind of questions , or ... ? james : no , i just -- i think we 've taxed her enough . brooke : james , what is going on here ? i need to know if she is hurt . or is she up to her same old tricks , the manipulations , to try to get back in eric 's good graces , to stay here longer ? are you helping her ? are you protecting her for some reason ? is that what 's going on ? you have to tell me ! sheila : do n't do it , james . brooke : answer me , james ! i want the truth ! | brooke drops in on eric and they have differing opinions . she thinks sheila should not be there to recover . if she has a concussion she should be in the hospital . eric says she just needs to rest a few days and he is not forgetting her past but he is willing to take that risk . brooke is suspicious and wants to see sheila for herself . eric says okay but he was just up there . sheila is up and talking on phone to beatrice about how busy she has been and she missed some sittings for her portrait but she will get paid and all will be well . she tells beatrice that she has another call coming in and it turns out to be james who says he can not do what sheila wants him to . she says he damn well better keep lying or she will expose him . sheila hears eric and brooke coming up the stairs and jumps back in the bed pretending to be asleep . eric knocks then goes on in and sheila does not budge even when both call her name . brooke tells her to open her eyes . sheila tells herself she will pretend to be asleep and they will go away . but brooke talks louder and tells sheila that she knows she hurt herself and must rest but it can not be here . and she is not leaving until she talks to her . two doctors have examined her and said she is in no danger so she can not stay here . pretending to be groggy sheila asks brooke what she wants . brooke says to get her up and moving ; she can not stay here . brooke tells eric to go take care of quinn and she will handle sheila . she tells sheila again to get moving as she will not let her put eric in this position . however when sheila follows brooke 's orders she feigns a fall on rubbery legs so eric makes her get back in bed . he says james is at the front gate with some medication so he will let him in . |
ridge : emma barber 's death was an accident , detective . det . sanchez : well , as i explained , that 's why we 're taking another look at the case . ridge : why is that , because some former employee made a baseless accusation against my son ? det . sanchez : it 's hardly baseless . mr. avant gave my office pertinent information . now , if you have information that contradicts his story and clears thomas then -- ridge : he does n't need to be cleared ! he 's not involved this ! det . sanchez : okay , i 'd like to hear that from thomas . but you said he 's not here , right ? brooke : no . and he 's not answering his phone . det . sanchez : is that unusual ? mr. forrester ? sir ? would you say that your son 's behavior is unusual ? thomas : i will not lose you , hope . you 're my wife . you belong with me . hope : i want my marriage to thomas annulled right away . liam : i mean , can you do that , even ? can you just file the paperwork , or does thomas have to be involved somehow ? justin : he has to be involved . he wo n't be able to challenge the annulment . look , this is a clear case of fraud and misrepresentation . hope : thomas wo n't take that well . but i 'm not going to let him control my life ever again . justin : well . i will get the annulment paperwork started right away . hope : thank you . liam : yeah , thank you . thomas has caused hope enough pain already . justin : well , i am sorry for what you have been through , but i am really happy for what lies ahead . hope : me , too . justin : i am glad i could help put this behind you so you can focus being a mommy to your beautiful little girl . hope : thank you so much . justin : you 're welcome , you 're welcome . liam : all right . thanks for stopping by . all right , man . justin : certainly . all right . liam : hey , uh ... do you think we should have asked justin about a restraining order ? hope : if thomas wanted to confront us , he would have done it already . he disappeared because he 's ashamed , and he should be . liam : yeah , but he does n't know about the annulment yet . like , we do n't know what he 's gon na do when he finds out you 're done with him . det . sanchez : i understand that thomas has a history of ... instability . ridge : what does that have to do with anything ? brooke : he has n't responded to any of us . we do n't know where he is or what he 's doing . ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : ridge , if the detective thinks this is relevant -- ridge : it 's not ! brooke : i 'm worried about my daughter . det . sanchez : so you have concerns about thomas . brooke : well , yeah . i -- i do have some concerns , actually . i think that thomas can be ... a little obsessive . and given the fact that he did know about beth , and then there 's emma 's death ... ridge : he has shown some very poor judgment , but no one is accusing him of murder . brooke : what if xander is right ? i know you do n't want to consider this , but what if thomas is responsible for emma 's death ? thomas : come on , hope . did you , uh , get a call ? thomas : no . oh , i -- i thought i heard you . thomas : all these texts are from my dad . nothing from hope . nothing . not -- not one word . and , you know what , it 's liam and it 's brooke . they 're trying to turn her against me . i let that happen ... [ chuckles ] i just -- i need to see her , you know , and -- and i just need to help her understand . so why do n't you do that ? give her a call . she 's got to be worried about you , right ? how about i give you some privacy ? thomas : no , i -- i ... i ca n't do this over the phone . i have to see her in person . liam : i 'm so sorry you 're dealing with this right now . hope : i just want to get it over with . liam : [ chuckles ] trust me . as far as i 'm concerned , you ca n't get the bastard out of your life soon enough . hope : i should have never married him . liam : yeah , well , you thought you were doing what was best for douglas . and , besides , you did n't know what thomas was capable of . hope : no , i mean , you and mom tried to warn me . liam : yeah , we kind of did . hope : [ chuckles ] liam : listen . i hate what thomas did to you , i mean , using his son to manipulate you like that , but -- but even given his whole history , what all of us knew about it , nobody expected him to do something this twisted . i mean , to keep beth a secret and let you suffer , just for , what , so he could have you for himself ? that is sick . hope : i never want to see him again . liam : [ sighs ] well , you definitely ca n't be alone with him again , that 's for sure . hope : no , liam , i mean it . i want him out of my life for good . liam : okay , yes , let justin handle the annulment , but you have to know he 's gon na try to see you again , okay ? he 's not gon na give up without a fight . hope : yeah , well , he does n't really have a choice , does he ? liam : okay , this -- this is a perfect example . a rational person would understand that , but thomas is not a rational person . look -- look at what he 's done to us just so that he could hold onto you . i 'm not trying to scare you , but the minute he finds out that you 're annulling the marriage , that could send him over the edge . thomas : i just -- i -- i have to see hope . i have to re - establish that connection face - to - face . because then once she sees me , she 'll see that i 'm still the man that she married . i do n't know , man . maybe not like this . you 're still kind of worked up . thomas : i just need to explain everything , all right ? i just need to explain it and show her all the great things that we were doing together , with the line and -- and the family that we were gon na have together . i was giving her a family with douglas and me , right and did liam ever do anything like that ? no , no , no , no . he always has to hurt her , right ? he has to poison everything . that 's what he 's doing . that 's what happening right now , okay ? he 's -- he 's confusing her . this is his fault . okay , but -- but you 're gon na fix it , yeah ? when you calm down ? thomas : yeah , she has to listen to me . right . she 's got to , man . she 's your wife , right ? thomas : that 's right . we made a commitment . yeah , so what are you stressing about ? come on , you 're usually `` mr . in control . `` just breathe . it 's all gon na work out . you got to believe that . do n't let this get to you . [ inhales sharply ] thomas : hope is still my wife . that has n't changed . that is never going to change . det . sanchez : you think thomas could be dangerous . brooke : ridge and i are both concerned about our children , detective sanchez . but if you have evidence that maybe thomas is responsible -- ridge : well , he doesn't . det . sanchez : he 's a person of interest . ridge : based on what ? some office rumor ? something that he did years ago ? you finished the investigation . emma died because she was texting and driving . it 's awful ! but everything is speculation ! det . sanchez : yeah , well , thomas was seen arguing with emma the night she died . ridge : people argue all the time ! that does n't mean they 're gon na kill each other ! det . sanchez : well , previous investigators had no idea about the situation with hope and her baby . ridge : because it was a private family matter . brooke : and we do n't want the press involved . we think that hope and liam need time alone with their child . det . sanchez : and how does thomas feel about that ? ridge : we have n't talked to him ! det . sanchez : well , i 'd like to , as soon as possible . look , mr . forrester , i know you 're just trying to protect your son . your wife says you 're concerned , i know she 's concerned . so why do n't you give me a call when he reappears ? look , if thomas has done nothing wrong , then he has nothing to worry about . you have a good day . [ door opens , closes ] ridge : he 's fishing . brooke : where is thomas ? why ca n't we reach him ? why has n't he called us back ? i mean , this is strange . it 's really strange behavior . what about all the lies ? we really need to find him . i need to know that he 's not a threat to my daughter . ok everyone ! brooke : thomas should have called to check on douglas . the fact that he has n't , it 's -- it 's really strange . it 's the whole reason he came back from new york . he wanted to give douglas a secure life . and that was his justification for going after hope . ridge : stop . do n't -- you got to stop saying that . he did n't go after hope . he proposed to her , she accepted , and they got married . brooke : and he lied about beth so that she would stay with him . ridge : he made a mistake . he screwed up . i 'm not denying that ! and he 's paying the price for it now . but being deceitful and being selfish is very different from being dangerous , which is what you told the police . emma died in an accident . and hope is n't scared of thomas . they were gon na have a life together ! brooke : and how is thomas going to react when he realizes that life is over ? he 's been obsessed with hope for months . he lied about beth because he did n't want hope to leave him . so what about that ? i -- i know that these are ugly questions , ridge . ridge : brooke . you know my son . you know thomas . brooke : yes , i do know thomas . his lies and his manipulations . he tricked hope into marriage . she 's not gon na be with him now , ridge . and what is going to happen when he finds out hope does n't want to be with him ? what 's he going to do ? i 'm worried . i am worried for my daughter 's safety . thomas : we got married for life . [ chuckles ] to be a family . that 's not something you walk away from . and if you really love somebody , you -- you fight for it . [ cars passing , horn honking ] you do whatever it takes to hold the family together . liam : every time you come out of her room , you 're smiling . hope : well , it is just like i imagined , only it 's real . our daughter is sleeping peacefully in her nursery . she is safe in her home . liam : yeah . well , thankfully , she was always safe . we just did n't know she was ours . hope : [ sighs ] you know , i think back on when i would visit steffy 's and i would hold her , and that bond , how she would ease my pain . that all makes sense now , but everything else ... what thomas did ... liam : well , thankfully , that 's being taken care of , and all you have to do is be with beth . hope : trust me , nothing is going to take away from the joy that i feel right now , but , at the same time , i can not forget what thomas did , the fact that he married me and he knew that beth was alive . he kept my daughter from me . i mean -- [ scoffs ] how could anyone be so cruel ? liam : well , it was n't just you . i mean , he deceived other people , too . his own family did n't even realize what he was up to , and that -- that 's my whole point . that 's why i 'm saying we have to be smart about this . if he could -- if he could lie to you about something as epic as beth ... there is no telling what else he 's capable of . hope : well , he wo n't do anything else to me . liam : wait . what are you -- who are you gon na call ? hope : thomas . liam : what ? why ? hope : i 'm going to tell him about the annulment . liam : what are you -- let justin do that ! hope : liam , i want this finished . i do not want this hanging over our heads . liam : hope , nobody even knows where he is . ridge has been trying to call him . he 's not picking up . hope : thomas wo n't ignore me . brooke : i know you want to find thomas as much as i do . ridge : because i 'm concerned about him , not because i think he killed emma or he 's trying to hurt your daughter . brooke : [ sighs ] well , try him again . ridge : he does n't answer his phone . brooke : if you keep on trying , maybe he will . i know that you can get through to him . [ dialing ] [ cellphone ringing ] [ ringing continues ] thomas : everything i 've done , every decision i 've made has been for you . for you and our family . and this new life we 're building . i promise to do whatever necessary to protect and defend that family . we were happy . once i explain ... we will be again . hope : i want thomas to know it 's over . liam : i do , too , but you should n't be having anything to do with that psycho . hope , if you call him , it could set him off . hope : i am not afraid of him . thomas is a coward . and he may have tried to manipulate me and control me , but no more . i am making the decisions now . [ cellphone ringing ] thomas : hope , i -- i knew you 'd call . i -- i missed you . hope : thomas -- thomas : look , i know that your mom and -- and liam are probably filling your head with garbage about me , but you -- you have to know , i never meant to hurt you . hope : thomas , you lied to me about the most painful experience of my life , and you could have taken that pain away . you knew beth was alive , and you kept me from my daughter ! thomas : because i knew that she was safe , right , and she was happy , and so were you . hope : stop . this is n't why i called . i do n't want to hear why you did it . thomas : look , if you would just let me explain -- hope : thomas ! you betrayed me . you told me that the only way i could be a mother was to help you raise your son . you encouraged me to end my marriage to liam , to have him go back to steffy , all the while , you knew phoebe was beth ! thomas : yes , so he could be with both of his daughters . hope : and , what , you were just gon na lie to me for the rest of our lives ? thomas : hope -- hope : i contacted a lawyer . i 'm having our marriage annulled . thomas : what ? n - no . you -- you -- you can't . hope : and once the papers are ready , i want to you sign them .

stephanie : i ca n't tell you what this means to me . you know , to have a chance to get control of forrester again . you understand exactly what we have to do . macy : we 're ready , right , deacon ? deacon : for god 's sake , we 've done through the drill twice . stephanie : deacon , if you 're not comfortable with this , tell me right now . deacon : look , i said i would do it , i 'll do it . stephanie : yeah , but i 've got to be sure . you do n't always deliver . deacon : i guess you knew that going into it , though , did n't you ?

stephanie : she does n't have a clue . macy : good . brooke : i 'm sorry to drag the two of you over here . it 's bad enough that my time is being wasted by some pointless board meeting . rick : well , that 's the price you pay for holding stock at forrester . bridget : why did stephanie call a meeting ? brooke : to make a mountain out of a molehill . i had a run - in with your father about his new line . it was way too extravagant . i told him no . bridget : oh , so he was disappointed ? brooke : more than disappointed . rick : well , mom , you watch the bottom line . he should understand that . brooke : but he does n't understand . and now stephanie 's trying to get everybody riled up about it . bridget : so you 'll explain your side . end of story . brooke : i just wish i did n't have to . i have more important things to do with my day than indulge stephanie . ridge : . you know , brooke 's going to be totally blindsided by all this . thorne : ridge , it 's not like this is the first time we 've tried to get our company back . ridge : except now i wan na marry brooke . it 's a bit of a conflict of interest , is n't it ? thorne : she 'll get over it . ridge : oh , like macy got over you and darla ? thorne : she would have , if deacon had n't entered the picture , yes . ridge : oh , okay , now it 's all deacon 's fault . thorne : no , but it did n't help , ridge . what about nick payne ? ridge : what about him ? thorne : well , he 's gon na use this . ridge : look , i 'll handle payne . it 's how brooke 's gon na take all this that concerns me . brooke has actually done a hell of a lot for this company over the years . thorne : yes , she has , ridge . and there 's still plenty of opportunity for her here . ridge : yeah , well , i 'm not so sure brooke 's gon na see it that way . thorne : ridge , do n't tell me that you 're thinking of not voting brooke out . ridge : one thing mother was right about -- we 're not gon na have a chance like this again . and dad does deserve the company back . stephanie : sophisticated , intelligent , very impressive . eric : i 'm not sure brooke agrees . stephanie : who says i 'm talking about the drawings ? eric : so you 're here for the meeting . stephanie : looks like we 're all set to go . eric : yes , it was all set up like this when i got here this morning . not that i know what this meeting is about , which pretty much explains my role in the company these days . stephanie : big mistake . who better than you knows how to run a fashion business ? and i 'm not just talking about design and marketing and production . you 've done it all . but talent always gets its due . eric : so my day will come ? is that what you 're saying ? any idea when ? stephanie : well , that 's for me to know and you to wonder about . eric : you 're up to something . stephanie : i called the board meeting . eric : about what ? stephanie : about a matter that 's long overdue . that 's all i 'm going to tell you . i 've made mistakes . but i have always believed in you and your talent . and everything that we 've built together . the family , the business . eric : things have n't turned out exactly as we planned , have they ? on either count . stephanie : no , they have n't . but that does n't mean it 's over . eric : stephanie , do n't . do n't hope for something i ca n't give you . stephanie : this is about you and what you deserve . you 've worked too hard for too long , and nobody knows that better than i do , eric . eric : so to hell with what anybody else thinks , right ? stephanie : you 're going to have it all , i promise . you and i are not going to go down in the book of life as failures . our greatest triumph is yet to come . sally : so it seems that that devilishly handsome man is finally going to be in charge of his own affairs again . good . deacon : wait a second . am i missing something here ? i thought you hated this guy . sally : no , no , i 've never hated him . i 've always liked him . of course , we 've had our problems , you know , about business . we 've had some knock - down drag - out battles that were n't very pretty . but all in all , i do like him . and i really admire eric forrester for his willingness to stand up and fight for what 's his . macy : like someone else i know . sally : well , it 's going to be very good to have him back where he belongs . listen , there 's nothing like some real , honest , tough competition to keep the creative juices flowing . macy : everybody wins . deacon : yeah . yeah , everybody but brooke . sally : oh , well , that 's another story . that comeuppance has been a long time coming . macy , you know what i think ? i think you ought to look at that woman 's face when queen stephanie delivers the final blow . it 'll be worth seeing . and you 're certainly entitled to a little personal satisfaction after all the bad things brooke has done to you . macy : i know . i know . but i think i 'm going to enjoy watching eric 's face a lot more , knowing what that company means to him . just like i enjoy watching you with little d . sally : well , it 's true . that company is eric 's baby . and brooke stole it from him , just as she stole deacon 's daughter . [ deacon remembering ] deacon : you 're really showing . my child . brooke : i thought i told you not to come up here . deacon : i had to . brooke : now , look , i know you 're concerned about me and this company , but -- deacon , it 's just too hard to see you . deacon : brooke , this is hard for me , too . i mean , i think i can handle it , but then i get next to you and something comes over me . brooke : no , do n't . macy : deacon ? deacon : what ? brooke -- brooke did n't steal hope . macy : well , she talked you into it . deacon : it just -- it seemed like it was the right thing to do at the time . macy : because you wanted what 's best for hope . deacon : yeah , but things are different now . and macy , i 'm different . hope should have a right to know her father . macy : honey , i agree with you 100 % . deacon : well , do n't you get it ? if i go up against brooke , that 's never gon na happen . brooke : fine . i promise you , i wo n't let stephanie provoke me . bridget : mm - hmm , she wo n't if you do n't let her . brooke : be the bigger person ? i 'm afraid that 's you , sweetheart , not me . bridget : mom , okay , if you feel like you 're about to lose it , you look at me . brooke : thank you . i 'll do that . ridge : need a minute ? bridget : the meeting 's about to start . i 'm gon na go round up the troops . brooke : so stephanie summoned you here from marone to waste your time , too ? ridge : well , i am a shareholder . brooke : this is n't about business , ridge . this is about us . you do know that ? ridge : what gave you that idea , logan ? brooke : when did stephanie ever do anything that did n't have to do with us ? she got me stranded on an island with nick and now she 's shipped in your dear old friend samantha to stay with her . ridge : no , i think it goes a lot deeper than that . brooke : eric 's designs . i did n't mean they were bad . i just meant they were bad for this company in this economy . and i have to do what 's best for this company , even if it means hurting eric . ridge : logan , look , you 've done incredible things for forrester . no one 's denying that , least of all me . brooke : so what are you saying ? stephanie : ridge ? ridge : mother , would you give us a minute ? brooke : no , no , it 's okay . let 's get on with this silly little meeting and let 's hug later . macy : mom , you know , i think little d is probably up from his nap . could you check on him for us ? sally : of course , darling . i 'd be delighted . macy : thank you . deacon , no , brooke is not going to like it if you go up against her , but i 'm sorry , she still has no legal grounds for keeping you from seeing your own daughter . deacon : i guess . i just -- macy , i do n't wan na get involved in this . macy : oh , come on , that does n't sound like you . you 'd never run from a challenge . and besides , somebody 's got ta vote little d 's shares . should n't it be his father ? deacon : if i do n't vote , then they 're deadlocked . i say hell , let 'em -- let 'em figure some other way to duke it out . macy : and then brooke remains as ceo . is that what you want ? deacon : macy , what i want is to concentrate on you . and little d and our new family . i do n't give a rat 's ass about the forresters . macy : okay , then do n't think about the forresters . think about what 's right . think about what 's fair . deacon : what 's right and what 's fair ? now , you tell me , do you really think it 's fair to boot brooke out of ceo of a company that she has put her blood and her sweat in ? come on . that 's not right . on what ? a technicality ? macy : okay . all right . i 'm sorry . but did n't brooke boot you out of the company when she was through using you ? okay , look , you know how i feel about it . but you 're the one who 's got ta vote . deacon : yeah . let 's go to vote . let 's go . brooke : we might as well get started . there 's no need to keep everybody waiting here . we have a lot of work to get back to . i want to thank all of you for coming . let the record show that everybody 's accounted for except for felicia forrester and kristen forrester - dominguez . apparently they have better things to do . thorne : they 've given me their proxis . brooke : fine . now i 'm going to turn the meeting over to stephanie , since she 's the one who called it . even though i have a pretty good idea of what she 's going to say . stephanie : well , i wo n't waste any time . this is a very competitive industry . not one that you can sit on your laurels in . and i think it 's time to take forrester creations to the next level . i also believe the best person to do that is eric forrester . brooke : i 'm sure all of you are aware of the tension that 's been going on between me and eric over his designs . but producing that line will not be beneficial to forrester creations . eric : i do n't agree . brooke : i know , eric . we 've been debating this over and over . but my records show that i have made all of the right decisions for this company . but hey , if it means so much to all of you , go ahead . produce your line . satisfied ? stephanie : actually , no . this is n't really about a few designs that you turned your nose up at . this is about treating the man who created the company with some respect . eric : stephanie , i really do n't see the point of all this . stephanie : the point -- the point is this company is not brooke 's . it belongs to you , eric . you are the man that took needle and thread and your talent and made something out of nothing . you are the person that persevered , worked and sacrificed to bring this company to the level of success that it enjoys today . you are the person that had the vision to make forrester creations what it is . the gold standard of this industry . therefore , i propose that we vote to reinstate you , eric forrester , as the chief executive officer of forrester creations . secretary : mr. forrester is in a meeting . would you like to wait ? macy : actually , we 're here to see stephanie , and she said we could wait here . secretary : of course . macy : deacon -- if you do n't wan na go through with this -- deacon : it 's -- it 's not that . it 's just -- it 's just complicated . macy : i do n't want you to do anything you 're not comfortable with . deacon : you 're not making me do anything . macy , you 're my wife and i love you . and we 're a team now , always . macy : i think it 's time we 're on the winning side for a change . brooke : so that 's what this is about . ousting me as ceo . rick : you do n't have the votes . thorne : why do n't we let mother explain ? stephanie : i 'd be happy to . brooke : no , let me . what it comes down to is that you 've messed up your marriage and you 're trying to find a way back into eric 's good graces . ridge : brooke , let 's not go there , all right ? brooke : ridge , it 's true . and why would she call a vote if she knows she 's not going to win ? really , stephanie , you 're wasting our time and yours . stephanie : may i finish ? brooke : stephanie , what is the point ? have n't you made it already ? i mean , we 've all done something to somebody that we care about that we are trying to fix . stephanie : yes , you 've been there . no question about it . brooke : but i did n't drag the whole family in to witness it . stephanie : no , but you 've put your children smack in the middle and made them choose sides . brooke : all right , that 's it . stephanie , we really appreciate you reminding us about eric 's contribution here at this company . so thank you very much for that . now , if we could just finish up this meeting so we could all go back to work -- stephanie : i called for a vote to reinstate eric as the ceo . brooke : why would you wan na do that ? you know that my children and i hold a 51 % majority stake in this company , stephanie . you 're not gon na win . stephanie : i called for a vote , and the bylaws entitle me to have it . brooke : why ? so that you can frame the minutes of this meeting and present it to eric as a gift of love ? honestly , stephanie . ridge : brooke , why do n't we just move on ? brooke : you 're right . let 's move on . as per stephanie 's request , let the record show that we are now going to vote on eric forrester replacing brooke logan as ceo of forrester creations . megan , call the role , please . megan : stephanie forrester . stephanie : aye . megan : thorne forrester ? thorne : aye . brooke : vote for kristen and felicia while you 're at it . speed things up a little . thorne : kristen and felicia both vote aye . megan : eric forrester . eric : aye . megan : ridge forrester . ridge : aye . megan : bridget forrester . bridget : nay . megan : rick forrester . rick : nay . megan : and brooke logan . brooke : nay . and the nays win . just like we knew they would . meeting adjourned . stephanie : hold on . not all the votes are in . brooke : stephanie , we 're all here . my family controls 51 % of the company . nothing 's changed . stephanie : well , actually , the lawyers have told me that you 've been very generous in giving shares -- your shares of the company -- to your children and your grandchildren . brooke : it 's my stock . i can do what i want with it . stephanie : of course you can . and you 've been , as i said , very generous with your new baby and with eric iii . brooke : oh . you want it on the record ? is that what this is about ? okay , hope votes nay . rick : and i 'll vote eric 's 2 % . stephanie : sorry , you ca n't do that . there 's only one person that can vote for eric iii . thank you for coming . macy : my pleasure . | brooke tells ridge stephanie is making this meeting about them , not forrester creations . ridge tries to speak with brooke alone before the meeting , stephanie walks in , brooke brushes ridge off and wants to get the meeting over with . deacon is concerned that if he votes against brooke she will keep hope from him . macy assures him he has legal rights . deacon flashes back on him & brooke . brooke did n't steal the company , he did . he does not want to get involved , he only wants to concentrate on macy & his kids . macy reminds him voting for eric is the right thing to do & to remember how easily brooke kicked him out of the company when she was done with him . stephanie talks to deacon & macy about the board meeting ; if she does n't take this chance now , she might not have another . |
nick : tell me you did n't do this . tell me . bridget : there 's no future for us . do n't you know that ? ! nick : i do n't believe you . [ scene_break ] brooke : so this is your solution ? this is how you want to help bridget ? stephanie : yes , we 're sending you away . it was your idea . brooke : with that ! stephanie : so it wo n't be pparis . it 'll be a far , far better place . brooke : put it down stephanie . nick 's with her bridget right now , telling her that all he wants is to have a life with her . stephanie : well that 'll be a hard sell . he wants that baby . but she after having lost one husband to you is going to end that pregnancy before she loses a second man . brooke : i refuse to believe my daughter would do that . stephanie : it is unthinkable . but we both know she 's thinking about it . this is untraceable -- there 's no serial number . i do n't even know if they put them on in those days . brooke : stephanie -- stephanie : we can make this right for bridget and the baby . sometimes you have to take a life to save a life . brooke : so you 've decided -- you 're going to kill me ? ? stephanie : no , you 're gon na kill yourself . [ scene_break ] dante : come on , bridget . just tell him and get out of there . bridget : i ca n't bring a child into this . why would i want to put my own child through what i 've been through ? bridget : and i know you tried to love me . it 's not your fault that you could n't -- nick : i do love you bridget ! bridget : stop lying to me ! you admitted last night that it was a lie . do you think i 've already forgotten ? nick : but you would n't do this . to our child . bridget : you love my mother . my mother . why would i want to have you child ? nick : when i called you today , where were you ? bridget : the doctor 's . nick : doctor 's . at the doctor 's ? to have an abortion ? bridget : you can be with my mother now . no one will blame you . you can have a child with her . nick : was it before ... or after ? bridget : before or after what ? nick : when i called you . is that when you did it ? bridget : what difference does it make , nick ? nick : because i 'd like to know when my child died ! [ scene_break ] stephanie : you wan na do the honors ? no , you might hurt yourself . brooke : you came here to ask me to kill myself ? stephanie : well i -- i know it seems a little bit extreme . but we have to think outside the box . by the way , i brought two bullets , in case you miss the first time . brooke : all right , stephanie . you 've had your little joke . now take that thing and get out of here . stephanie : i thought you said you wanted to help your daughter . brooke : and i do ! but with that ! stephanie : well i told you there would be some sacrifice involved . what is so valuable about your life anyway ? brooke : my life is valuable to me ! stephanie : why ? it 's been mostly rack and ruin . what is so precious that you 're hanging on to ? brooke : my god . do you really have to ask me that ? you 're a mother too stephanie -- stephanie : oh , well , but i 'm a mother who would die for her children , if it came to that . you said you 'd do anything for you daughter . brooke : and i would . stephanie : well nick is never gon na give up on you . and the last time when this happened with deacon . i mean if justice would 've been served , you should 've just gone ahead and done it . forget justice , now it 's just a matter of simple decency . brooke : so killing myself is the `` decent `` thing to do ? stephanie : well , a life for a life . in this case , maybe two . quick and simple . you 'll never feel it . brooke : no , no bridget would be destroyed . she would blame it all on herself . stephanie : for a while she would , yes . but nick and the baby and i will help her heal . then after awhile she 'll forgive you . and then she 'll start loving you again . think about it . what are you really giving up ? just old age . is n't it better to leave this world , still the object of desire for every man that you 've ever known ? you do n't want to turn into an old woman that nobody wants to touch ? brooke : maybe everybody would be better off . but what if there 's really such a place as hell ? stephanie : god will understand . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone ringing ] dante : hello . taylor : dante , it 's taylor . have you seen bridget ? dante : why do you ask ? taylor : well something 's happened , something not good -- dante : i know all about it . she stayed with me last night . taylor : oh thank god . did she mention to you i 'm sure she did -- i know that she trusts you . anything about what she plans to do about her pregnancy ? because i know there 's some concern that she may try to terminate it . and i 'm concerned that she 's just reacting emotionally . dante : taylor , it 's too late . taylor : what do you mean ? she 's already made an appointment with the clinic , what ? dante : i mean it 's just too late .

[ indistinct conversations ] caroline : ah - ah - ah ! yep . those are good . okay , good . if you could just ... yes ! up a little bit more . no , these two are yours . for you guys . yeah . those are perfect . that 's yours . that works . not now , rafael . rafael : uh -- madison : press and buyers are here . i do n't know most of them . caroline : just try your best to make them feel comfortable and welcome . will you ? madison : sure . of course . caroline : thank you . rafael : i heard you talking to rick . caroline : okay , well , then you will know that i do not want to talk about maya right now . rafael : rick said she does n't keep secrets , but she does . i saw carter leaving her apartment the morning after the premier . and he was wearing the same clothes from the night before . caroline : oh , my . the walk of shame . rafael : yes . so he spent the night with her , and i 'll bet rick does n't know a thing about it . rick : hope . hope : yeah ? rick : i just sent over othello 's music cues . hope : oh , okay . rick : i hope they work . hope : they 're gon na be perfect . look , rick , i know you 're taking a big risk here , but trust me , it 's gon na pay off . okay , i 'll be back . eric : your creativity can fuel forrester 's renaissance . but rick will be the one to lead us . congratulations to the new president of forrester creations . eric : everything under control ? rick : you bet . eric : good . oh , i love this . all the energy , the momentum . it 's what a fashion show should be all about . anxiety ? rick : a little . eric : kind of goes along with the program today , does n't it ? rebranding a line is a big risk . new logo , new designs . rick : yeah , branding identification , strategic awareness . i 've done my homework . i know what 's at stake . and i think you know by now just how much being president means to me . eric : yes , i do . we need this today . i expect to be very impressed . good luck , son . [ whispered conversations ] pam : what are you doing over here ? are n't you gon na be sitting up front ? jarrett : [ sighs ] no one to talk to . they 're not even talking to each other . donna : it does seem kind of quiet . pam : yeah , but , you know , who knows ? maybe they 'll perk up once the show starts -- you know , clapping and hoo - hooing . jarrett : yeah . i 'll hoo - hoo . carter : rick gon na pull this off ? marcus : man , i do n't even know . look , he told us to expect the unexpected , but i think he 's the one that 's gon na be getting a surprise . caroline : are we on track ? hope : yeah . so far . nice work . caroline : this is so important to me , hope . i would do anything to make this a hit for you and your brother . i love him so much . you know , and i 've done things that i 'm not proud of , but i am so proud of hftf and what it can do for rick 's career . [ whispered conversations ] marcus : hey , dad . eric : hi . i have n't seen a lot of our regulars . marcus : yeah , i noticed that , too . you worried ? eric : i might be , if rick were n't so confident . rick : you look great . maya : i 'm not even dressed yet . rick : you always look beautiful . i 'm not gon na keep you . we 're about to get started here in a second . you nervous ? maya : no . what about you ? rick : i 've done everything i can . i 'm putting it all out there , maya . once you and the rest of the models hit the stage , it 's out of my hands . maya : it 'll be incredible -- a big success , i 'm sure . rick : i 'm so glad that you 're a part of this . maya : me too . you know , we all know what 's at stake for you , rick . we wo n't let you down . rick : you think anybody would mind if i steal you away after the show so we can celebrate ? maya : i would like that . rick : yeah . caroline : ticktock , mr. president . the show 's about to start . rick : [ chuckles ] maya : i do need to see you alone . rick : okay . [ whispered conversations ] thomas : rick managed to fill the seats . thorne : he wo n't fill enough seats to keep the presidency . thomas : i just wonder why he even bothered if our usual buyers were n't interested . thorne : i 'm sure that 's one of the questions my father will have for him when this is over . rick : yeah . othello ? yeah , we go in five minutes . all right . caroline : hey , rick . i just wanted to , um ... i just wanted to -- i want you to know that i -- rick : good luck to you , too , caroline . caroline : rick , if this works , it 's not because we got lucky . it 's because we relied on each other and we made good decisions . rick : we made risky decisions . caroline : we 're going in a different direction , you know , a cutting edge and reaching out to a new audience . that 's always risky . just go -- go on . give hope her cue . show the whole world what a great team we are . rick : i do n't know how to thank you . caroline : save it . you 'll have a lot more to thank me for later . rick : okay . [ whispered conversations ] eric : hi . hope : hello ! thank you so much , everyone , for coming . i 'm hope logan . and it is my pleasure to welcome you to forrester creations for the reintroduction of my line , hftf . uh , today we will be giving you an exclusive look at one of the most exciting new ideas in fashion -- a line not about personality but perspective . hftf is a way to see the world and to express yourself in it . it 's a line with global vision . and just like art and music , fashion transcends boundaries . it communicates across cultures . and this new collection , designed by the very talented caroline spencer , captures that idea beautifully , incorporating influences from around the world with forrester 's southern california spirit . i am very pleased to present to you the new hftf . [ indistinct whispering ] [ up - tempo music playing ] [ camera shutter clicking ] [ light applause ] [ up - tempo music playing ] [ camera shutter clicking ] pam : othello should be getting this crowd to their feet . you ca n't dance to this . dayzee : nobody 's clapping . marcus : yeah , i know . [ light applause ] eric : the designs were wonderful . hope : thank you . eric : wish they were getting more of a response . hope : yeah . donna : is this what you expected ? marcus : to be honest with you , i did n't know what to expect . i mean , rick was being so mysterious about everything . i ... i guarantee you this was n't what he was hoping for . rick : all right , ladies , we need to hurry it up . gorgeous , you 're up next . thorne : you should have pulled the plug on the show when you had a chance . thomas : it 's like a disaster out there . rick : i do n't know what you two are smoking , but our designs look great . thorne : [ chuckles ] your audience does n't agree . rick : i do n't hear anybody booing , thorne . thomas : maybe othello 's new - age music put everybody to sleep . rick : you 're on fire today , thomas . thorne : you know , i 'm surprised , rick . your back 's against the wall , you knew what was at stake , and this is the best you can do . thomas : is this why you and caroline were so tight - lipped about everything ? you just wanted to put something together last minute , avoid a total embarrassment ? thorne : and i 'm sure dad and hope are wondering why they trusted you . you were supposed to save the line . rick : the hftf line is different than anything we 've ever created . therefore the showing was intended to be equally as creative , too . thomas : [ scoffs ] it 's different , all right . thorne : you failed , rick . you failed your team . and you failed this company . so you can say goodbye to the presidency . because it 's time for a change . | rick asks eric to keep an open mind . he knows he 's been stingy with the details but he is confident that it will all work out . he knows thorne and thomas are licking their chops . caroline tells rick that when this is over , thorne and thomas will be kicking themselves for underestimating him . they will be the ones celebrating . rick reminds her that he will be celebrating with maya . she 's the one that does n't keep secrets from him . he 's coming around with caroline 's new attitude , but he has n't changed his mind about maya . meanwhile maya is telling carter that she feels guilty and she has to tell rick that carter spent the night . she was n't honest with rick and she wo n't lie to him . rafael finds caroline just before the showing where she is dashing around making sure everything is perfect . she has no time for him until he mentions it involves maya . quickly he tells her that he saw carter that morning coming out of maya 's apartment wearing the same clothes as the night before . clearly he had sent the night . |
quinn : do n't do this . steffy : you 're forcing me . this is what it comes to . wyatt 's future is in your hands . you walk out this door right now and nothing changes for him . quinn : you would really move out ? steffy : if you move in with my grandfather and start a relationship with him ... yes . i will move out tonight . so what 's it gon na be ? do you care about wyatt 's marriage or not ? quinn : of course i do . i do n't want to hurt wyatt . but i care about eric , too , and i do n't want to hurt him , either . and i wo n't . liam : what is wrong with eric ? ! seriously ? ! asking quinn to move in ? he 's -- he 's got to know how upset his whole family will be . wyatt : yeah , especially steffy . liam : she wo n't accept it , wyatt . brooke : so , steffy 's over there now talking to eric ? ridge : yep . trying to make him realize how crazy this all is . brooke : a relationship with quinn -- it 's beyond crazy . ridge : i 'm worried about him , the kind of power he gives that woman and what that 's gon na do to the rest of us . especially steffy . sasha : thomas ? thomas : are you , uh , are you sure you have to go ? sasha : well , i - i 'm not in a hurry to . i 'm not in a hurry for anything . thomas : good . me neither . uh , maybe you can stay . you could hang out for a little bit . might as well not be in a hurry together . brooke : we 'll all join forces and put a stop to it before it goes too far . ridge : uh - huh . he does n't exactly seem open to our opinion . and if he 's moving her into his house ... brooke : you do n't know he is . you 've always had an overactive imagination . ridge : and you have always been very optimistic right till the end . i appreciate that about you . but i have to assume that he 's moving me out so he can move her in . quinn fuller in my mother 's house . it 's not gon na happen . wyatt : i told my mom that this is wrong . i told her that i expect her to stay away from eric . liam : did she listen ? wyatt : well , i -- not exactly . liam : okay , so what 's your plan , wyatt ? how you gon na get through to her this time ? wyatt : i do n't know ! i got to figure that out ! liam : and what about steffy ? wyatt : i - i got to go home and tell her and just hope for the best . we 're gon na work through this . we have to . steffy : you 're staying ? quinn : i have to . what i feel for eric -- steffy : he 's an easy target . that 's what you feel . quinn : no . steffy : i hope you understand what you 're doing . i 'm gon na go home now and i 'm gon na start packing . quinn : please do n't . steffy : do n't -- do n't make me , quinn ! do the right thing ! walk out the door right now ! fine . i hope you 're ready for the consequences . quinn : [ sighs ] please do n't . you ca n't ! steffy : you 're making me do this ! quinn : oh , steffy , please ! steffy : it 's your choice , quinn . live with it . brooke : steffy 's not answering ? ridge : no . straight to her machine . maybe her phone 's off . i 'm going over there . brooke : wait , do n't make your father feel attacked . it 'll only make things worse . ridge : i wo n't . brooke : i 'm gon na go with you . you and steffy can be a little forceful at times . i think he needs a gentler approach . ridge : maybe forceful is what he needs right now . and if i fail , i will call in my gentler reinforcements . how about that ? brooke : do n't hesitate . i 'm here for you . anytime . [ door closes ] sasha : mmm . okay . can i come over every night ? thomas : for my ice cream ? sasha : oh , no . he 's on to me . thomas : [ chuckles ] well , i 'll -- i 'll keep my freezer fully stocked just in case you ever stop by . sasha : ooh . okay . you just got a bazillion brownie points with me . thomas : oh , good , good . um , eventually i will be able to cash in these points for something , right ? sasha : eventually , i think ... you might . well , i better get going . thomas : already ? really ? yeah ? sasha : yeah . thomas : ah . sasha : it 's getting late . besides , you got to leave them wanting more , right ? thomas : [ sighs ] you have succeeded . sasha : [ chuckles ] okay , now this ... thomas : mm - hmm ? sasha : um , i 'm pretty sure i can do this . thomas : okay . sasha : okay . got the thing and the ... auto lock . ohh ! thomas : wow . i - i 'm impressed . sasha : you know , i think earlier just ... this had me a little flustered and distracted , but now i 'm back together , level - headed . got myself . i 'm good . thomas : i 'll take that as a , uh , a compliment . sasha : you should . bye . oh , wow . hey , liam . liam : hi , sasha . are you heading out ? could i talk to you for a sec ? thomas : come on in . liam : thanks . thomas : well , uh , see you tomorrow ? sasha : definitely . thomas : all right . sasha : have a good night . thomas : see you . what 's going on ? liam : get this . your grandfather and quinn are moving in together . eric : i believe that fits the front door . i do n't want to be too forward , but i 'm wondering if you 're interested in shacking up with me , my fair lady . wyatt : steffy has been more than clear with you since the beginning of my marriage that she does not want you around , and then you come up with this brilliant idea to move into her family home with eric ? steffy : put your son 's needs before yours . quinn : i always put wyatt 's needs first . steffy : good . keep doing it . or else . quinn : what are you saying ? steffy : i will leave wyatt . eric : wyatt 's gone ? quinn : he left awhile ago . eric : then i have you all to myself . come here . [ both chuckle ] eric : quinn , quinn . quinn . what is it ? he tried to talk you out of moving in , did n't he ? quinn : yeah , yeah . but that 's not what 's bothering me . i can get wyatt to come around eventually . i know i can . he wants what 's best for me , and ... eventually he 'll realize that we 're really good for each other . steffy , on the other hand , is ... eric : wait , you -- you talked to steffy ? quinn : yes . she showed up here . after wyatt left , she was , um ... she was so angry . she was lashing out , making threats . eric : she threatened you here ? quinn : no , no , no , no . i wish she threatened me . that -- that i could handle . she ... she threatened wyatt . and their marriage . she said because i 'm not moving out of here , she 's gon na move out on him . eric : what ? quinn : steffy 's moving out . tonight . [ door opens ] wyatt : hey , um ... there 's , uh , there 's something i got to tell you . steffy : i already know . i was just there . wyatt : uh , where ? steffy : at my grandfather 's . with your mom . wyatt : i - i - i tried to talk her out of moving in there . she just -- she would n't budge . steffy : i know . i tried the same thing . i thought you were gon na be able to control her . i ca n't have that woman living with my grandfather . wyatt : we 'll figure out a way to get her out of there . steffy : i told quinn if she did n't move out ... i would . eric : steffy 's moving out ? because of us ? quinn : she said she would stay with wyatt if i left you . eric : i hate that this is hurting my granddaughter . but it 's a ridiculous and it 's an unfair demand . i 'm glad you did n't give in . quinn : i just hope she 's bluffing that she 's not gon na walk away from her marriage . eric : i hope so , too . [ door opens ] ridge : wow . i 'm interrupting ? eric : matter of fact , you are . ridge : well , i want to talk to you . steffy still here ? eric : no , she came . she threw her fit and then she left . is it your turn ? ridge : i just want to talk to you in private . so you can go home . eric : she 's home . no . ridge : excuse me ? eric : quinn lives here now . i invited her to stay , and she accepted . ridge : that 's not happening . eric : not up to you . ridge : dad , this woman is not moving in here . i ca n't let you do that . eric : you do n't come in here and start barking orders , ridge . i 'm your father . i 'm not your child . you need to start understanding that . thomas : this has officially gotten insane . liam : yeah , well , no surprise there . we 're talking about quinn . thomas : steffy 's gon na be livid . liam : yeah , that 's why i 'm here , thomas . i 'm worried about her . you -- you and i both know she 's gon na flip out , but this is too much . she should n't have to deal with this . thomas : and she would n't have to if she was married to you instead of wyatt . wyatt : you told my mother that you 're leaving me ? steffy : i told her i 'd move out unless she walked out the door . i begged her . she did n't . she claims to love you so much , but not enough to keep me in your home . wyatt : i - i do n't understand why you would say something like that . steffy : because i ... i had to . wyatt : yeah , but how does that threat even pop into your head , steffy ? steffy : because -- because she fought so hard to get us together ! she fought so hard to get us married ! i just -- i thought that she would do anything to get us to stay together ! i guess -- i guess i was wrong ! wyatt : okay , so -- so then you do n't actually have to move out . you gave her an ultimatum , and she did n't listen ! steffy : you promised that she was n't gon na be an issue for us anymore . wyatt : she does n't have to be . steffy : you promised that she was gon na be out of our lives , but things are just getting worse and worse . it 's like first she tricks us into getting married , and now -- and now she 's living at my grandfather 's house , and it 's just like i -- wyatt : wait , `` tricked `` ? steffy : that 's -- wyatt : `` tricked `` ? steffy : you know that 's not what i mean . you know that my feelings for you are real . but yeah . we were tricked . and as painful as that was to discover , i stuck by you , and i chose to believe in our marriage . wyatt : until now . that 's basically what you 're saying is -- is until now . steffy : wyatt , i need to feel protected . i need to know that my family is protected . wyatt : yeah , well , i did that , okay ? ! i did that time and time again ! i told my mom to stay away ! steffy : yeah . wyatt : and even after tonight when i found out that she was moving in there , i demanded her to not do that -- for you . steffy : you 're not taking -- where is the action ? that 's just talking to her ! wyatt : so what do you want me to do ? ! do you want me to just drag her out of there kicking and screaming ? steffy : yes ! yes ! if what we have means anything to you ! wyatt : [ scoffs ] steffy : i love you . but i ca -- i ca n't put up with this anymore . wyatt : are you being serious right now ? you -- you 're -- you 're moving out of here ? steffy : i am . ridge : i 'm treating you like a child ? how ? by voicing my concerns ? by telling you that people are worried about you ? eric : do n't worry . you can stop worrying . i 've been making my own choices since long before you were born . ridge : yes , your own choices , your own decisions . not always the best ones when women are concerned . we have that in common , dad . sometimes we lose our head . it happens . eric : my life , my choices . ridge : yes . your choices . and i can get behind most of them . you want to run the company again ? sure . it 's your company . want to be in this house ? yes . your house . but this ... with that ... makes me wonder who makes these choices around here . who 's motivating all that ? eric : motivating ? motivation ? my motivation is that i 'm alive , ridge ! when your mother died , i could have just faded into the woodwork . i could have just lost myself in my own grief . i got pushed out of my company . i could have just sat there and waited for my turn to die . well , i 'm not waiting . i 'm alive , ridge . that 's my motivation . i 'm happy , i 'm healthy , and i 've got what i want . i 've got a company , i 've got a family , and i 've got quinn . oh , i know you 're not happy about this . nobody 's happy , especially you . well , i am . and as long as quinn is happy and i 'm happy , that 's all that matters . ridge : ca n't accept that , dad . eric : live your life , ridge . i wo n't tell you how . you do n't tell me how to live mine , either . understood ? thomas : we will protect steffy no matter what . quinn moving in with granddad . that 's -- that 's -- that 's crazy . liam : yeah , it is . and steffy needs to free herself from it . she needs to put this marriage and wyatt behind her . wyatt : this does n't even make any sense . you 're moving out because of an ultimatum that you never should have made in the first place . steffy : her moving in is the last straw . wyatt : for her , yes ! but what about for me ? why is it that our marriage is what 's being sacrificed here ? ! steffy : [ sighs ] wyatt : is this -- is this like another excuse ? are you just trying to get back to liam ? is that what this is about ? is that what you 're doing ? steffy : if i needed an excuse to be with liam , i think finding out that your mom kidnapped him to keep him away from me would be enough ! wyatt : ohh . steffy : my vows to you are true ! i married you because i love you ! so do not dare question my feelings for you ! and do n't -- do n't bring liam in this ! this is n't about liam ! this is about your mom ! you swore that you were gon na get her out of our lives , but yet here she is ! she 's at forrester ! she 's targeting my grandfather -- [ scoffs ] -- after kidnapping liam and molesting him , and then she just repeatedly lies to us , and you 've done nothing ! you 've done nothing ! wyatt : nothing ? steffy : and that 's -- [ sighs ] that is why i need to get away . that is why i need to get away from quinn , okay ? wyatt : away from me . steffy : [ sighs ] that 's ... wyatt : what are you doing ? steffy : i 'm leaving . wyatt : what ? where -- now ? where you gon na go ? ! steffy : i do n't know . i do n't -- i 'm gon na -- [ sighs ] i 'm gon na go to thomas ' . i do n't -- wyatt : no , you ca n't leave , all right ? ! you 're not leaving tonight ! not until you give me another chance to fix this ! steffy : [ sighs ] wyatt : you say -- you say that my words are n't enough , that you need more actions ? that 's bull , because all i 've been doing is defending you and protecting you since day one ! okay , fine , fine ! you want more actions ? you 'll get actions . i hate everything that my mother is doing just as much as you do . so i will go over there . i will . if -- if she refuses to leave , i will pick her up and escort her out of there myself . i wo n't rest until she 's out of that house and out of our lives for good . but come on , steffy . you ca n't -- you ca n't leave . i would do anything for you . just do n't leave , steffy . do n't leave . steffy : [ sighs ] | quinn can not believe what she is hearing from steffy . she has to move right back out of eric 's house or steffy will move out on wyatt . liam laments something is seriously wrong with quinn thinking she can move in with eric and nothing bad will happen . thomas kisses sasha before she leaves . she tells thomas that suddenly she does n't seem to want to leave so fast . they share some ice cream before he kisses her again as she leaves . ridge tells brooke that he was asked to move out so quinn can move in with eric and that is not going to happen . wyatt tells liam that he has n't figured this all out yet but he has to go home and tell steffy and hope for the best . steffy tells quinn that she is going to go home and start packing . quinn begs her not to but steffy tells her only she can change this so live with it . brooke advises ridge to not be too forceful with eric and she is here for reinforcement if he needs it . as sasha leaves liam comes in and needs to speak with thomas . eric comes back into the room and quinn gives her details of how steffy threatened wyatt and their marriage . she will move out on wyatt unless quinn moves out of eric 's . he says that was an unfair demand of steffy and he is glad she did not give in . ridge walks in and eric says he is interrupting ; steffy is not still here . she came and had her little fit and is gone . ridge tells eric that quinn is not moving in here . eric says he is the father , not the child here , and ridge can not make this call . steffy returns home and she says she already knows the news . wyatt says he tried to talk quinn out of it but she would not budge . she says she did too and she even told her that if she did n't , she would move out of wyatt 's . they discuss it and she says nothing wyatt does will make quinn change her mind so she needs to leave so she can protect herself and her family from quinn . he does n't know what he can do other than go in there and drag quinn out by her hair . steffy says that might work but yes that is what she is gon na do move out right now . enough with words , time for action . |
brooke : answer me , james -- the truth . is sheila really that impaired that she has to stay here in eric 's home ? james : well , obviously , you do n't think she is . brooke : i do n't -- i - i - i do n't know . i 'm not a doctor . you are . that is why you 're here . so tell me -- do you think she 's up to her same old tricks , faking it , so that she can stay here at eric 's longer ? just tell me the truth . sheila : [ thinking ] do n't you dare , james . do n't you dare ! bill : all right , what 's next ? justin : you do n't want to take a breather ? we 've been going nonstop since i got here . bill : time is money , my man . i do n't like wasting either one . now bring me up to date on the kepley acquisition . tad seen the light , or do i have to apply a little pressure ? justin : actually , wyatt 's been handling the negotiations , so he can fill you in . bill : well , that would require wyatt being here . where the hell is he , anyway ? wyatt : you 're quiet . you 're too quiet . say something . katie : i think words are so overrated . justin : you know , it 's not like wyatt to blow this off . maybe he got held up elsewhere . bill : what could be more fun than discussing mergers and acquisitions with your old man ? well , he 's gon na have to catch up on his own . i 'm gon na take this opportunity to touch base with my other son . justin : oh . liam ? bill : will . have n't seen him in a few days . gon na head over to katie 's , spend some quality time with my boy . wyatt : just say it . that was pretty damn close to perfection . hmm ? katie : [ chuckles ] yeah , you 're right . it was pretty damn close . wyatt : mm . brooke : why are you hesitating ? james : brooke , i 'm not gon na give you the answers that you want to hear . yes , i know we all have reasons not to trust sheila , but her condition is very real . you ca n't expect me to say she 's capable of taking care of herself after suffering a concussion and a traumatic blow to the head . brooke : i realize that , but i also realize that she could milk this situation for her own purposes . are you saying she 's not ? james : i 'll tell you the same thing as i told eric . i think it would be best for her if she stays here for a few days until she fully recovers . i mean , what if she leaves here now and she collapses again or , god forbid , anything worse should happen ? i mean , could you imagine the guilt that eric would live with ? brooke : well , you are the professional . and you know best . so if you think she should stay here for a few more days , then ... just know that i 'll be back . and when i am , i want sheila gone . [ door closes ] sheila : god . for a moment , i was n't sure if you were gon na sell me out or not . thank you . just know this , james . if you think you 're gon na turn on me or you refuse to play along , i will reveal your dirty little secret . count on it . justin : uh , hold on , bill . you know what ? we never got a chance to review this . bill : all right . i 'll take it with me and get back to you . i 'm anxious to see my son . wyatt : katie logan of the famed logan sisters . katie : oh , my god . no , you didn't . you did not just compare me to my sisters already . wyatt : you were completely different than your sisters . katie : yeah , i know . i 'm the brunette sister , so , clearly , i 'm boring . wyatt : no . different as in ... i 've finally gotten to spend a lot of time with you . katie : mm - hmm . wyatt : and i 've gotten to know you ... in a -- a whole new way . katie : [ chuckles ] uh - huh . wyatt : look , you 're smart , and you 're strong and you 're determined . and i know this is kind of a generalization , but ... a lot of guys go for the ... giggly blond type . katie : mm ! wyatt : but me ? i 'm into brunettes who run a little deep , who , you know , have a sense of who they are , and i am babbling , and i 'm gon na stop . akatie : you are . but by all means , please , babble away . wyatt : ah . seriously , katie ... you 're an incredible woman ... and one who probably has n't been fully appreciate until right now . and there 's one more thing . katie : what ? wyatt : you are insanely sexy . brooke : where 's quinn ? eric : she went for a run ? she 's trying to -- trying to stay as far away from sheila as possible , i think . brooke : yeah , well , considering what happened between those two when they were alone together , that 's probably a good idea . eric : you 're still suspicious , are n't you ? brooke : i just think she 's trying to work her way into your life somehow . she did bring you the information of ridge and quinn . eric : yeah , well , i 'm grateful to her for that . brooke : what are your feelings ? eric : what are my feelings ? about what ? brooke : about your marriage . what about quinn ? i know that you were upset with her . you were gon na divorce her , but then you let her back into your life . and ridge -- i know you have n't fully forgiven him yet . eric : no , i haven't . have you ? brooke : the point is , if you 're not over this thing between your son and your wife , i think sheila senses it . she 's trying to find an opening . james : i should get going . sheila : not so fast . i want to make sure we understand one another . james : what is there to understand ? you 're blackmailing me . unless i go along with you -- sheila : i will expose your addiction to painkillers . and you will lose your license permanently . james : i told you , i have stopped . i 'm in recovery . i 've turned my life around . sheila : which is what i am doing . do n't say anything and i keep your secret , but you betray me ... james : what do you hope to gain from this ? really ? do you honestly think the forresters , let alone eric , are gon na let you back into their lives ? eric : just about the proudest moment of my life , hanging this portrait of quinn up there above the mantel . opening a whole new chapter for me . someone caring and supportive , unquestionably loyal ... until she turned to ridge . brooke : yet you allowed her back into your life , anyway . eric : because i love her , brooke . and i believe her when she says nothing like that 'll ever happen again . in spite of the fact that she despises sheila for telling me the truth about her and ridge ... [ sighs ] ... i ca n't tell you what it was like to walk in here and ... and see sheila on the floor , quinn there ? i honestly thought sheila was dead . i thought ... my wife had killed her . brooke : eric ... you have a way of taking damaged women and making them feel whole again . you did that with me , with quinn , with sheila . you just have this goodness in your heart , this goodness that you want to share with everybody . but you ca n't , not with sheila we ca n't forget everything that she 's done . she ca n't be trusted -- ever . sheila : you think i 'm delusional , that i have zero chance with eric ? what you do n't know is that his wife was unfaithful . james : unfaithful how ? sheila : quinn had an affair . yes , she betrayed that wonderful , devoted man with another , and it was n't just any other man . it was with ridge . yes , his own son . that 's why i 'm here , james -- to protect him . james : that is quite a betrayal . but you need to be realistic . you do n't have a chance to work your way back into eric 's life . he 's obviously forgiven quinn . otherwise , the woman would n't still be here . sheila : oh , you mark my words . i will be a part of eric 's life again . and my portrait will be the next to hang above the fireplace in the forrester home . and i will make that happen . bill : katie ? katie , you home ? ! will ? anybody here ? katie : oh , my god ! oh , my god ! go , go , go , go , go , go in there ! go ! go ! hurry up ! go ! go , go , go , go , go ! bill : you guys in there ? had a few minutes , so i thought i 'd come by and see -- you 're in bed . katie : yeah . yeah , i 'm in bed . bill : what 's going on ? you 're not feeling well ? something got you down ? katie : no , i 'm -- i 'm feeling fine . bill : why are you ... are you ... is there a man in there ? a man ? katie : oh , my -- is that so inconceivable ? bill : no , no , no , no , no ! i 'm just -- you know , i 'm ... well , i 'm ... i 'm happy for you . katie : great . thanks , bill . now , will you please get the hell out of my bedroom ? bill : why do n't you introduce us ? katie : i 'm going out on a limb here and saying that he probably does n't want to meet my ex - husband at this moment in time . might put a damper on things . bill : come on . that 's ridiculous . we 're all adults here . katie : he 's in the shower . bill : i do n't hear any water . katie : bill , get out ! bill : okay . all right . fine . oh , here . and , katie ... wow ! this is great . congratulations . katie : go ! leave ! bill : uh ... katie : what now ? bill : nothing . one more thing . he 's a good guy , right ? we have a son together , and i just want to know that i 'm gon na like him . katie : oh , i can almost guarantee that you 're gon na like him . eric : brooke , i appreciate the support , but in a couple of days -- even less , maybe -- sheila will be out of this house . brooke : but not out of your life , if she has her way . do n't worry . i 'll be back . and i 'll personally make sure she leaves -- for good this time . [ door opens , closes ] james : your portrait , hanging over the fireplace downstairs ? sheila : it is not as absurd as you make it sound . james : oh , sheila , please , it is beyond absurd . will you listen to me ? sheila : no ! i want this life . it 's the life that i had before i -- i gave in to my darkest demons and ruined everything ! eric loved me once , and he 's going to love me again . once he sees the woman i can be , the wife i can be , what he thought he had in quinn ... before she proved she was n't worthy of him , and she 's going to do that again . james , i need this . i need this place . i need this family . i need eric 's love to make me whole . life just is n't worth living without him . there 's no way i 'm leaving . james : well , you have to know quinn will never let you stay here . she sees you as a threat . sheila : oh , i 'm a threat . and i 'm her worst nightmare in more ways than one . sheila : it 's not that you brought me into your home , eric . it 's that you believed me . it 's helping me believe in myself . you mark my words , james -- eric and i will have a future together . james : and the current mrs . forrester ? sheila : quinn 's days as the matriarch to this family , they 're numbered . it 's just a matter of time . bill : what do you mean , you guarantee i 'm gon na like him ? someone i know ? katie : you know what ? you ca n't just barge in my bedroom like this . you should really call first . bill : well , technically , i 'm not barging 'cause you gave me the key . anyway , i 'm here to see my son . is he here ? katie : is your son here ? um ... will is at practice , and then he 's spending the night with his aunt donna . bill : oh , that 's right . i forgot about the practice . all right . well , i will pick him up there , and then i 'll drop him off at donna 's , since you 're , uh ... you know what you are . katie : since i 'm none of your business . can you grab his overnight bag ? he forgot it . it 's by the front door . bill : you will always be my business because we have a child together . katie : great . bill : and , yes , i will grab it on the way out . and , katie ... katie : oh , my god . [ lock clicks ] [ sighs ] wyatt : [ laughing ] oh ! that was insane ! katie : that was not funny . wyatt : it was kind of funny . katie : it was kind of funny . but did you hear what he said ? `` a man ? a man , katie ? are there pigs flying in a frozen hell ? `` i mean , what -- wyatt : do n't let him get to you , okay ? katie : i mean , if he only knew . wyatt : i know . he has a key ? katie : yeah , we might have to do something about that . wyatt : yeah . i think so . katie : you know what ? wyatt : hmm ? katie : i do n't care what bill or anyone else thinks or says . i want to stay right here , in this moment , with you . | brooke begs james to tell her the truth . she is not a doctor but wants to know if james thinks she is up to her same old tricks in trying to stay in eric 's home . sheila does not speak but she is thinking that he better not dare tell her . bill asks justin where wyatt is as he needs a report . nothing could be more important than mergers and discussing it with his old man . wyatt is in bed with katie and i assure you they are not thinking about reports . bill tells justin that he has not seen will in a few days so he thinks he will pop in and see his son . brooke keeps badgering james and he says he will tell her the same thing he told eric . he thinks it will be better if no ambulance comes to take sheila to hospital yet she needs a few more days of bed rest . brooke finally says okay she will go but just know that she will be back and she wants sheila gone . sheila gets out of bed and tells james he better play along because she will not think twice about revealing his dirty little secret . he better do as she says or he will pay . he wants to know what is in this for her . wyatt defies katie that she is not boring . he has gotten to know her in a brand new way and she has a sense of knowing who she is .. and seriously she is an incredible woman and probably not fully appreciated until now . brooke asks where quinn is and eric says she went for a run as she is trying to stay away from sheila as much as possible . brooke says she knows he was upset with quinn and going to divorce her but then she came back home so she wants to make sure he is okay . he says she was totally loyal and supportive until she turned to ridge and he believes her that it will never happen again . but he honestly thought quinn had killed sheila when he walked in and found sheila on the floor . brooke says he can not forget everything sheila has done and forgive her for everything . sheila goes on that quinn had an affair and not just with anyone but with his son . that is why she needs to protect him . james tells her she does not have a chance with eric so get that out of her mind . she says she will have her chance and her portrait will hang over that fireplace . she will make it happen ! |

[ chuckles ] thomas : so , tell me , what do you think your first executive decision will be ? and please tell me it involves rick packing up his office . thorne : definitely . thomas : well , maybe a transfer is in order . put him somewhere he 's more useful . he always acts like he was some kind of superhero at international . thorne : i can see that happening someday , yes . but first , rick is going to do some time in the basement -- some serious time . years , maybe . day in , day out , breathing in the exhaust from the loading dock . thomas : having to deal with his office being the company storage room ? thorne : oh , yeah . paris is gon na have to wait . [ both chuckle ] thomas : so , how long do you think eric will be involved ? thorne : as c.e.o . ? till his last breath , i imagine . thomas : as soon as we get this company back in order , start making money , and he feels satisfied with how things are being run , see him stepping down , naming a new c.e.o . thorne : ah , his faithful president , you mean ? thomas : you 'd take the job , right ? thorne : if you took mine . thomas : that 's the plan . go ahead . sit down . thorne : [ chuckles ] you know , dad 's already stepping back a little . maybe he 's just waiting for the right team to be in place before he walks away for good , though . better leadership than he 's getting from rick . c.e.o . , huh ? thomas : it 's the next step . thorne : i suppose it is . [ scene_break ] pam : thank you for coming . thank you .

'cause there were -- i mean ... and they ... you know , it ... thanks for the lemon bar . donna : any updates ? pam : eric 's still talking to the buyers . donna : well , that could be good . pam : or not . donna : this is n't looking good for rick . caroline : thank you so much . you were great . [ indistinct conversations ] caroline : there 's , uh , some champagne over there . should we open it ? rick : why do n't we wait to open the champagne till we have something to celebrate ? my dad 's talking to the buyers now . caroline : i hope i came through for you . rick : you did . you did . all the time that you spent and your beautiful designs . caroline : i know how important this job is to you . rick : thank you for sticking by my side . caroline : it 's not a chore . rick : well , we -- we did our research . we reached out to different markets . caroline : yes , markets with lots of buying potential . rick : and now we just got to believe in our decisions . and if we were right ... caroline : [ chuckles ] look , rick , there 's something i need to tell you . uh ... it was really great working with you on this -- i mean , giving it my all and just ... showing you how much i care . i would do anything to help you succeed . i do n't ever want to fail you . donna : well , they 're shaking hands . that must mean something . pam : what ? that they 're leaving and never coming back ? donna : pammy , it does n't hurt to be positive . you ever hear of envisioning what you want to have happen and it will ? thorne : dad 's almost finished ? donna : well , it looks like they 're wrapping up . eric : uh , pam , some gift bags if you will ? pam : oh , yes . eric : thank you very much . pam : thank you . thank you . here you go . this way .

wyatt : this is not the solution , steffy . steffy : there is no solution . that 's why i have to go . wyatt : i know my mother is a huge problem . but she does n't have to be the end of us . i wo n't accept that . she wo n't destroy our marriage . we 'll figure it out . just do n't leave ! steffy : i ca n't -- i ca n't do it anymore . wyatt : so we 'll figure something else out ! steffy : okay , tell me . tell me one thing we have n't tried . any way to get your mom out of our lives . tell me . wyatt : i know this is hard for you . my mother and your grandfather . trust me , i get it . i get why you 're fed up and you 're totally freaked out right now , but steffy , come on . i ca n't , i wo n't -- i wo n't let you walk out that door . ridge : she does n't belong here . she needs to get out . eric : this is my home , ridge . ridge : yes , it 's your home , your company , but do n't you see what 's she doing to us ? she 's isolating you from your family . eric : i encouraged everybody in the family to accept my decision . i do n't want discord in this family or in this company . ridge : then stop doing this . eric : quinn is here because i want her to be . now , this is my life . you do n't get to say anything about it . thomas : quinn 's got my granddad all turned around . i do n't know how else to explain it . first , she comes back into the company , and then she -- she moves into our house . liam : after eric kicked your dad out . thomas : oh , i 'm sure she jumped at that opportunity . liam : oh , yeah , i 'm sure she had all her stuff waiting in a truck around the corner . thomas : wyatt was supposed to keep his mother out of their lives , and now quinn 's moving in with my granddad . this is gon na push steffy over the edge . quinn : eric , i do n't want to cause any more conflict between you and your family . ridge : good . then you should go . eric : quinn is n't going anywhere , ridge . ridge : wait , i 'm sorry . what did you just say ? what did you say ? you do n't want to cause conflict ? what do you think you 're doing with wyatt ? what do you think you 're doing to wyatt 's relationship with steffy ? you like your son , do n't you ? quinn : of course i do . ridge : and i know you love your family . so why are you doing this ? both of you . why would you put everything you care about at risk ? thomas : steffy was right . quinn is insidious . liam : i ca n't believe eric did n't listen to steffy . thomas : he would n't listen to any of us . liam : well , she told him how she feels about quinn . i mean , he had to know what this would do to her . thomas : i do n't know what to tell you , liam . it does n't make sense to me , either , but quinn is a threat to my sister 's happiness . steffy needs to be free of that woman , and it may sound harsh , but that means she needs to be free of wyatt . wyatt : i hear everything that you 're saying . i know you 're scared and you 're angry , and what my mother did is completely inexcusable . steffy : she does n't care about what she 's doing to us , wyatt . wyatt : yeah , but i do ! and i hate it ! just -- you 're stressed out and you 're hurting , but you got to let me try . you got to let me go over there . give me another chance . i will go over there . i 'll get her out of the house . she will never see eric again . but you got to give me one more chance , steffy . please . ridge : dad , you got to know this is wrong on so many levels . eric : i see that it seems that way to you . ridge : not just me . everyone . quinn ruins lives . that is a fact . not an opinion . i do n't want her doing that to you . eric : i appreciate your concern , but i do n't need it . ridge : what are you doing , dad ? what is this ? you bring her into mom 's house ? mom 's house ? a house that was built on love . her love . eric : your mom 's house -- ridge : yes . her love for her family . she always said we got to stick together . that 's what we got to do now , dad . eric : you 're right . nothing was more important to her than family . there 's nothing she would n't have done for any of her kids or her grandkids . her love for you was ferocious . ridge : that 's what i 'm saying . eric : we spent wonderful years together . but they were n't all wonderful . she drove me to my limits every day -- the limits of my talent , the limits of my patience . she was a very difficult woman . she was demanding . she was overwhelming . but i would n't have wanted her to be any other way . people found her intimidating , but to me , she was my inspiration . ridge : and you think that this can replace her ? eric : i think that there 's goodness in everyone . i think that we 're all motivated by the same things . we all need to be loved . we all need appreciation . we all need security . we all need happiness . and we all deserve the love and the support , that we need to find the good in ourselves . ridge : and i have no problem with -- with quinn wanting that . she deserves that , sure . but not from you . eric : she gives that to me . she 's already given that to me . what we 've discovered in each other is something really , really wonderful , and that 's a powerful , powerful bond . imagine how much better the world would be if we saw just what was good in each other , if we overlooked the mistakes we had made in our lives before , if we gave each other the support and love we need to be our best selves . imagine that . ridge : quinn fuller has never made anyone 's life better . she 's not gon na do it for yours . thomas : do i call him ? do i tell my family what 's going on ? liam : uh , i 'd wait . i mean , they 're gon na find out soon enough . let 's see what happens with wyatt and steffy . thomas : yeah , if things work out . last time they talked , steffy was frustrated with wyatt . liam : yeah . i have been , too . thomas : i mean , just when you think things ca n't get any worse than that -- liam : oh , thomas . with quinn , things can always get worse . thomas : it 's like nothing can stop her . liam : well , my brother seems to think he can . thomas : do you actually believe that ? liam : i -- i -- i believe that he wants to . i mean , for god 's sake , he 's been trying his whole life . can you imagine having quinn for a mother ? never knowing what she 's gon na do next , and constantly being told `` it 's all for you . it 's for your sake . `` the lying and the cheating and the manipulating . thomas : yeah , but this thing -- this thing with my grandfather -- this is different . liam : no , it is . i mean , quinn 's focus does n't seem to be on wyatt anymore . she 's -- she 's actually looking out for herself now . thomas : potentially at the cost of wyatt 's relationship with steffy . liam : yeah . thomas : it 's not the worst thing that could happen , is it ? liam : uh , okay , well , let 's think about this . if -- if wyatt 's happiness is not quinn 's priority anymore , then how is he supposed to keep her away from steffy and her family ? he has no leverage . so if quinn decides that she just wants to be with eric , nobody including wyatt can stop her . and steffy -- steffy has to be realizing that . steffy : it 's too late , wyatt . quinn made her choice . wyatt : maybe she thought you were bluffing . steffy : i was n't . wyatt : and i will tell her that . once she realizes that you would actually move out of here -- steffy : yeah , please do that . please just tell quinn that i was n't bluffing . wyatt : you know what i mean , steffy . she wo n't let that happen . not if i get through to her . she 'll change her mind . she 'll break up with eric . she wo n't be a problem for us again . steffy : and once again , everything 's back in quinn 's hands . wyatt : oh -- steffy : it 's like , `` she wo n't be a problem . she 's a changed person . `` it 's like -- i ca n't have your mother 's decisions affect my life anymore . wyatt : i know that . i know that it makes you feel crazy , like you can get away from her . well , guess what ? welcome to my life . i 've been dealing with this since i was born . until tonight . when i found out what she had done , that she had accepted eric 's proposal to move in , that was it . like , i 'm not making excuses for her anymore . she has to be responsible for her own actions . the line is drawn here and now . my mother is out of my life , once and for all . but you have to give me another chance . i will go over there , i will send her far , far away from here , from us . she wo n't be a problem for us anymore . steffy : i want to believe you . i really do . make her disappear , but ... i just do n't think that 's a possibility . i ca n't risk quinn being in my life . eric : ridge , if you want to talk about this more , we can , uh -- we 'll talk about it tomorrow . what do you say ? ridge : we 're not done . eric : listen . are you okay ? do you have accommodations for yourself , somewhere where you 're gon na stay ? ridge : dad , i 'm fine . i 'm always gon na be fine . what about you ? are you okay ? you 've brought a criminal into your home , into our company . and now look at you . you 're staring at each other like lovesick fools . quinn : there 's nothing foolish about compassion , ridge . ridge : compassion ? dad , how lonely are you ? how desperate for companionship are you that you let yourself be snowed by this con artist ? eric : you be careful here . ridge : no . no , no , no , no . eric : you be careful here . ridge : if you want companionship , i 'll find it for you , much better than that . no offense . dad , look what 's she 's doing to steffy and to her marriage . it 's rippling down into our whole company . eric : the decision 's been made , ridge , all right ? ridge : it 's amazing to me there is not one -- not one thing about you that is redeemable . and , yes , you can choose her , and you know what that 's gon na do ? gon na make you an outcast to your family and to your company . and , yes , you 're the big c.e.o . but your employees , they 're not gon na respect you . your clients , your public . they 're not gon na respect you , either . worst of all , your children and your grandchildren -- they 're not gon na respect you . you 're about to make a big mistake , and you 're gon na regret it because , dad , there 's evil in that woman . you make your own decisions . i 'm not telling you what to do . eric : the decision 's been made , ridge . you do n't get to tell me how to live my life . ridge : right . because you 're the patriarch of this family . and i love you , dad . i do . but i got to take back what i said earlier . because you are a child . a child with a brand - new dangerous toy . man , i 'm sorry you had to see this . quinn : eric . are you sure about this ? steffy : your mother is n't just our problem , wyatt . wyatt : and i 'm telling you that she wo n't be a problem for anyone else . steffy : yeah , until she manipulates someone else . wyatt : oh , come on . look . i know that she wants to change . that 's what this whole thing with your grandfather is all about ! but , no , that ca n't happen , right ? it has to end . but i just think she 's trying to prove something . steffy : she 's delusional . and that 's what makes her so dangerous . it 's like she believes her behavior is justified . wyatt : and it 's not ! i know that . steffy : but she does n't ! and i do n't think she ever will . it 's like she 's missing something , a sense of right and wrong . it 's like she does n't even know if she 's crossing a line because she moves it wherever she wants . she did n't kidnap liam . she took care of him . she did n't trick us into getting married . no , no . she was supporting us . she did n't target my grandfather . she 's making him happy . it 's not gon na stop because she does n't think that she 's wrong . it 's like -- you ca n't handle a person like that . it 's like her view of the world is warped . it 's like she 's -- she thinks that she 's misunderstood , and when we fight back , she 's thinking that we 're on the attack and it 's unfair to her . wyatt : so then i 'll convince her that we 're not ! steffy : oh , my god , please just convince me that the sky is n't blue . wyatt : it 's not impossible ! sometimes it 's pink . sometimes it 's orange . steffy : god , you just -- wyatt : look , i 'm just -- i 'm trying to -- i 'm trying to say that our relationship is n't doomed because of this . steffy : quinn should be in prison . god , she -- what she did to liam and a dozen other things . it 's like -- now she 's living with my grandfather . where is the justice in this ? wyatt : wait , is that -- is that why you do n't trust me ? i did n't want her to go to prison , so you do n't think that i can handle her ? is that it ? steffy : she 's a criminal , wyatt . wyatt : but she 's still my mother , steffy . steffy : and i am your wife ! and my needs and my safety and especially my sanity needs to come first . eric : ridge -- ridge is way out of line . quinn : it 's getting real , huh ? eric . i am so flattered that you asked me to move in here with you . your support means everything to me . maybe ridge was n't wrong about everything he said . i mean , not about you being foolish or childish , but both our families have so many problems with us being together . steffy may be leaving my son right now as we speak . and ridge is n't gon na be the last person to walk in here and tell me that i do n't belong here . eric : it 's not their decision to make . quinn : but is it the right decision for you ? eric : what about you ? quinn : i 'm an unemployed , single woman who fell for -- for a man of stature . talented and successful . respected and admired . a family legacy to uphold and a reputation to protect . can i really jeopardize all of that ? am i worth it ? is anything worth losing all that ? i mean , you have too much at stake . maybe i should leave . eric : you want to leave ? quinn : no . eric : then you 're gon na stay right here . quinn : [ gasps ] [ both chuckle ] eric : there you go . thomas : you should go home . steffy may need you . be there for her . liam : always . steffy : i 'm not blaming any of this on you . wyatt : yeah , you wo n't even give me another chance to fix it . steffy : she 's your mom . and for so many years , she was the most important person in your life . until the day you said your vows and you made a commitment to me . wyatt : a commitment that i want to keep . you 're my priority , steffy . steffy : yeah , you say that . you say that i 'm your priority , but ... look what 's happened . quinn 's back at forrester . she 's living at my grandfather 's house . it 's like she 's infected every corner of my life . it 's all happening so fast . i -- i ca n't accept this . wyatt : so , what are you saying ? our marriage is over ? is that it ? steffy : i 'm moving out . i 'm not filing for divorce . but if your mother continues to pursue my grandfather ... i love you . you know this is hard for me , too . [ sighs ] but quinn has caused so much pain . wyatt : this is our marriage we are talking about here , steffy . this is our life . steffy : this is what i need right now . wyatt : yeah , well , i need you . i need you to trust me , that i am the man that you married , someone you can rely on . quinn fuller 's son right now . i am your husband . i am 100 % dedicated to you and to our future that we planned together . not this . not this insanity that my mother created . and , look , i know it feels like we ca n't get out it . everywhere we turn , we just -- we take a step back and then we 're dealing with another problem that 's even worse than the first . but , steffy , moving out of here is not the answer . we can get through this . just do n't let my mother scare you . do n't -- do n't let her make you give up on us . do n't leave . steffy : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . goodbye . wyatt : steffy . steffy . ste -- | wyatt tells steffy that he knows his mother is a huge problem but steffy leaving him is not the answer . he begs her for one more chance to go over and talk to quinn and get her out of that house . eric tells ridge that he encouraged everyone in the family to accept quinn and they did n't . this is his life and they do not get a say in it . quinn says she does not want to cause this conflict . eric laments that she is going nowhere , he wants her here . ridge brings up his mother and eric says yes he loved her but she was very tough and intimating and he would not have wanted her any other way , always for her family . ridge argues that quinn has not made anyone 's life better and she sure is n't going to do it for eric . thomas tells liam that this will send steffy over the edge when she finds out quinn is moving in with eric . she needs to be free of quinn and that means also being free of wyatt . wyatt keeps saying he will talk to quinn and she will break up with eric and she will not be a problem . he is not making excuses for quinn anymore . he has drawn the line and she will never be a problem for them anymore . that is why she is with eric ; she wants to change . steffy says it is too little too late . she can not risk that quinn will be in her life ever again . she twists things and never thinks she is wrong . steffy says as his wife her needs , her protection and more than anything her sanity comes first . |

[ giggles ] do weddings always have this affect on you ? thorne : when you 're around , yes . katie : [ sighs ] well , it was a lovely day . i 've never seen hope look more radiant . thorne : well , they 've been a long time coming , those two . katie : yeah . you know , i ... i feel sorry for bill . it sounds crazy , but he was n't invited to his son 's wedding . thorne : well , he has no one to blame but himself . katie : you 're right . you are . you 're right . but to be cut out of his son 's life , to miss these major events , i ... i do n't want it to be like that with will . thorne : yeah , well , that 's a tough one , katie . the gun 's been awol for a long time . does he have any kind of relationship with will at all ? katie : well , hopefully that 'll change today . ridge : mmm . brooke : mmm . [ giggles ] [ sighs deeply ] mmm . thank you . ridge : i did something right for a change ? brooke : yeah . you were at the wedding , and you were very supportive of hope and liam . and i appreciate that . ridge : yeah , well , speaking of support , there 's another couple that needs our help -- my brother and your sister . brooke : what do you mean ? brooke : i 'm just grateful my sister has someone like thorne in her life . she tells me that thorne and will have gotten close . ridge : yeah , which is great because that little boy needs a positive male role model in his life to compensate for his idiot father . bill : today begins a new chapter , justin . i 'm gon na bond with my youngest son in a way i did n't get to do with my older boys . will 's gon na grow up with a father that he can look up to . by the end of the day today , he will be begging katie to spend more time with me . justin : yeah , about that ... bill : uh , uh , uh . no . i know what you 're gon na say . i 've been brushing up on my gaming skills . i 'm gon na be able to hang with will . i even learned a few tricks to skip levels . what 's this ? justin : read it . they want to meet . bill : the asian consortium ? they 're finally ready to come to to the table ? justin : they happen to be in town . bill : this is great . justin : they want to meet . bill : yeah . justin : today . katie : i know you think i 'm being unrealistic . thorne : no , i just do n't want you to get your hopes up because bill has let you and will down so many times . katie : i know . he has , but ... i feel like , maybe -- maybe something has shifted in him . i mean , we had this really intense conversation the last time i saw him , and i know he heard me . he took in it . he heard every word . and , yeah , sure , i have my misgivings , but will ... will needs his father . bill just ca n't let him down again , he just can't . i wo n't let him . katie : okay , i 'm gon na head home . i 'm gon na get will ready for his daddy day . thorne : okay , well , tell him i 'll be over before he leaves . i just want him to know that i 'm there for him , and , you know , just in case . katie : in case what ? thorne : in case bill 's a no - show . katie : okay , thorne ... thorne : no , no , i 'm not being negative . i 'm just -- you know , it 's a possibility . you remember what happened last time ? he could n't spend an hour with the kid , he had to bring him back home . katie : i know . will was upset with his father , and he was a handful . he acted out because of all of the cancellations and the excuses . but i 've talked with my son a lot about this , and i hear what he says and i hear what he does n't say . he wants to see his dad , he does . thorne : okay . katie : and i know that bill wants to make up for being an absentee father . i believe that . thorne : well , i hope he does because i want this to work out for will because i care about him . he 's your son . part of the package . and i love you both . but in case things do n't go the way you want them to ... i 'm here . katie : they will . bill is gon na put his son first . but thank you . thorne : okay . katie : thank you . i 'll see you later . thorne : all right . ridge : i love that smile . it 's my favorite part of you . it 's not . it 's one of my favorite parts of you . brooke : i was just thinking about katie and how nice it would be if she did n't have to be a single parent any longer . ridge : because spencer completely bailed on his son , you mean . brooke : no , because thorne is in her life now . ridge : yeah , and thorne is great . he 's gon na be a great role model . spencer 's useless . brooke : i hear bill 's trying to make amends , so let 's keep an open mind . ridge : after what he did to his sons -- he lied to them , manipulated them so he could get to my daughter -- i do n't have high hopes for the man . brooke : he suffered as a result of that . and so have we . but at least we have each other . he has no one . he burned so many bridges . but he still has his son . let 's just hope and pray that he will be there for him . i 've got to go deliver this . bill : tell them we 'll meet tomorrow . justin : what do you mean tomorrow , bill ? bill : it 's a power play , justin . i do n't want to appear to eager ! justin : yeah , but you 've been trying to get a deal with them for years ... bill : i told you what to do ! just do it ! justin : okay , you ca n't just blow them off , bill ! bill : i 'm not blowing them off ! you 're gon na be my entertainment ambassador . take them to the hottest restaurants , clubs ... hell , take the jet . fly them to vegas . they 'll have a blast . then tell them we 'll meet tomorrow . justin : bill , these are big ceos . they have schedules . you ca n't just do this . bill : well , i ca n't and wo n't disappoint my son . justin : [ sighs ] all right . just calm down a minute . i 'll call katie . bill : the hell you will . justin : okay , well , then you call katie . tell her how excited you are to spend time with will , but this is an opportunity for spencer publications that you just ca n't pass up . all right ? this is years of negotiations in the making . you 'll reschedule with will tomorrow . bill : tell her the truth ? justin : i know that 's something that normally does n't happen around here , but , yeah , i guess that 's what i 'm saying . look , she used to work here . she 'll understand and she 'll realize just how important this meeting really is . bill : no , i have a better idea . ridge : i 've been looking at steffy 's notes for this women 's empowerment initiative . it 's really good . thorne . hi . thorne : hey . sorry . what ? ridge : what -- what 's going on ? it 's katie ? thorne : it 's that obvious ? yeah , i ca n't get her off my mind . ridge : well , that 's a good thing . thorne : you think so ? ridge : i do . we all do . brooke does . i mean ... look , you 've been really happy . until today . what 's wrong ? thorne : [ sighs ] it 's will . he 's supposed to be spending the day with his father . ridge : and you have a problem with that . thorne : yeah , i do , ridge . i got a problem with that . it 's bill spencer . bill spencer is the kid 's role model . i got a real big problem with that . katie : hey , will . did you have fun with sarah this morning ? will : yeah . katie : yeah ? what 'd you do ? will : played . katie : did you go to the park ? will : why would we go there to play video games ? katie : oh , right , that is a ridiculous question , but i thought we were limiting that -- will : when dad 's coming ? katie : he should be here soon . will : sweet ! katie : `` sweet ! `` you excited to see your dad ? well , i think he 's excited to see you , too . justin : [ sighs ] bill : you handle it ? justin : i only got ahold of the assistant . they said they 're only still in l.a. because the jet had maintenance issues . they 're headed to new york once it 's fixed . bill : who do we know at the airport ? justin : oh , come on , bill . bill : call whoever she is back , and tell her i 'm sick -- food poisoning or something . justin : did you want to appear weak ? bill : damn it , justin ! i 'm supposed to be spending the day with my son ! now , there 's got to be a way to get me out of this ! justin : we have a lot of money riding on this , plus the solution to our logistics issue . we 'll have streamlined access to manufacturing and distribution . you 've got one shot at this . one ! you bail , and i can guarantee you wo n't get another chance . that , i can assure you . ridge : you should be concerned about spencer . i am , too . thorne : can you imagine a boy being raised by that guy ? ridge : i do n't want to imagine any of that . thorne : look , i understand how important a father is to his child . but bill ignores the kid . ridge : i know . thorne : he could n't even spend a night with him . ridge : [ sighs ] thorne : that worries me . ridge : at least you can be there for the kid , if you can work it out with katie . thorne : yeah . yeah , i 'll be the stepdad trying to undo all the crap that bill lays on him . [ knocks on door ] carter : sorry , i 'll come back . ridge : no , no , no . you know what ? come on in . carter : it 's just modeling contracts . it 's nothing pressing . thorne : look , i 'm really at a loss here , ridge . ridge : i am , too . carter : anything i can help with ? ridge : thorne has been spending a lot of time with katie and her son . thorne : yeah . carter : i noticed you two at the wedding . you let me know if you need my expertise . thorne : not just yet . we got bigger problems right now . ridge : bill has been an absentee father for months . carter : well , it 's probably to the kid 's good fortune , huh ? thorne : well , i see how confused will is about the whole thing , and i 'm trying to help him , but it 's not easy . carter : no . yeah , that 's the same spencer who alienated his two other sons , right ? ridge : that same lovely individual , yes . carter : mm - hmm . thorne : and i 'm watching as bill treats his youngest like an afterthought , disappointing him over and over . will pays the price . you know , he just needs someone around that cares . and that 's me . carter : so you 're saying that spencer 's been an absentee father for months ? thorne : yeah , well , katie 's got the specifics , you know ? she kept the record of all the custody times he 's missed . carter : what , he does n't like his own kid , or something ? ridge : no , i think he 's just too obsessed with my daughter . thorne : look , i 'd never want to separate a father from his child , but in this case , i honestly think that will would better off if katie had sole custody . carter : yeah , i think a judge might agree with that . thorne : really ? carter : if what you 're saying is accurate , and i know for a fact most of it is ... then there is a case . his disappearing act from will , his lack of moral compass , he sordid behavior with liam and steffy , not to mention the way he manipulated the entire tragedy ... katie might have a strong case . brooke : saw thorne driving out of the parking lot . do n't have to guess where he 's going . ridge : huh . brooke : will 's with his dad , and when the cat 's away , the mice will play . ridge ? ridge : um ... thorne and carter were here , talking about what a useless father bill is . brooke : oh , stop with that . he 's really not that bad . ridge : as an attorney , carter would disagree with you . brooke : `` as an attorney ? `` what are you talking about ? ridge : i think katie 's going to sue for full custody of the boy . brooke : she 's gon na take bill 's son away from him ? justin : look , all right , i hate to say it , but this meeting is today or never . you know how long it took to get this far . bill : so , what , i 'm supposed to cancel on my son instead ? justin : or , i mean , why ca n't it be another day ? does it have to be today ? bill : i promised him it would be today , justin . he 's excited about it , and so am i ! justin : yeah , but he 'll be just as excited tomorrow or the next day . bill , come on . look . you know how important this meeting is . it has to happen today . call katie . tell her that you 'll reschedule with will another day , just not today . bill : [ sighs ] thorne : wow , looks like you 're all packed up and ready to go , buddy . will : yep ! thorne : that 's a nice backpack you there . ooh ! look at that ! it 's got pockets on the sides and everything . whoa ! what is this ? katie : oh , great ... will : seriously ? ! thorne : look , it fits right in there . that 's for you , buddy . will : where 's dad ? katie : um , he 's gon na be here very soon . so why do n't you go upstairs , and i 'll let you know when he gets here , okay ? will : okay . katie : okay . do n't say it . thorne : okay . katie : bill is a little bit late , but he promised he would be here . thorne : i hope so . katie : he 's not gon na let our son down . [ cellphone rings ] it 's bill . hey . where are you ? bill : at work . katie : bill . bill : katie , i -- i have a hugely important meeting , and it just came up . katie : so cancel it ! bill : i wish i could . i really do . i can't . it 's the asian consortium . you know how long i 've been working on this . they 're finally willing to meet , but it has to be today . katie : bill , our son is counting on you . bill : i know he is , but it ca n't be rescheduled . katie : and our son can be rescheduled ? i - i do n't care how long you 've been courting these people . there 's always gon na be another meeting , there 's always gon na be something more important . this is our son ! you have to choose him ! bill : i want to , katie , but i really can't . i promise i 'll make it up to him . tomorrow . katie : do you know how difficult it has been getting him excited to see you again ? he 's gon na be so let - down , i -- i should have known . i ca n't believe this . i mean , i really thought that bill was coming around , that he was re- committing himself as a father , whatever the hell that means . i mean , what am i supposed to tell will ? that daddy does n't care ? that daddy 's busy ? thorne : we will handle this . katie : we should n't have to handle anything ! thorne : i know , i know . that boy deserves better . i know . katie : he 's gon na be so disappointed . thorne : again . katie , this has been going on for months . what bill is doing to that boy is not right . katie : it 's like he does n't even give a damn . thorne : he 's creating instability in will 's life , and i think it should stop . probably not my place to say this , but i 'm gon na say it anyway because i care about you and i care about will , and i hate what this is doing both of you . katie : well , what can i do about it ? i mean , what am i gon na do ? thorne : you create stability in will 's life . katie : how can i do that if he ca n't even count on his own father ? thorne : you , uh ... you take control of how much time bill gets to spend with your son so that he ca n't disappoint him anymore . i 'm talking about custody , katie . you file for sole custody of will . . . . | justin tells bill he is surprised that he did not just show up at the big event . bill says it is time to repair things . winning back his sons does not mean getting soft . and today his son will wants nothing to do with him . but he needs to bond by spending more time with him . justin hands him an important memo that an important client wants to meet today . thorne asks the same thing of katie , with no relationship with will he wonders what bill will do . katie says she had a real intense conversation with bill and she knows he heard her so she will not let him shirk his duty . thorne says he hopes so as he wants it to work out with them . brooke discusses katie with ridge and says it would be nice if she did not have to be a single parent much longer . she just hopes bill will be there for him . bill says it can wait until tomorrow . meanwhile he ca n't and wo n't disappoint his son . justin says then call katie and tell her the truth . will 's day can wait until tomorrow . thorne is distracted and ridge notices and gets him to talk about the situation with will and his father , that great role model . carter comes in and ridge grabs him to ask him a question . thorne relays how bill disappoints will over and over ; he 's been an absentee father for months . as much as he hates separating a father from his son , he thinks katie would be better off with sole custody . carter agrees if all his facts are correct and she would probably have a good case . |

( scoffs ) rick : well , i do n't think she 's gon na be alone for that long . thomas forrester proposed to her a ways back , and i believe he still has feelings for her . othello : ( chuckles ) thomas forrester . is n't he dating caroline spencer , the same one you 're into ? rick : it 's not like that . look , i do n't want hope to get hurt , and she will . you 're the only one that can prevent that from happening . othello : ( sighs ) hope : othello , hi . othello : hey , hope . how are you ? hope : boy , you do n't waste any time , do you ? rick : no . hope : so ... what 's going on ? so i hear you 've been working in town . othello : yeah , a few gigs -- a club on sunset , festivals in san bernardino . you know ? hope : cool . you saw liam last night ? othello : as a matter of fact , i did . hope : and what exactly did you see ? othello : uh , he was having a good time . he was having fun . hope : had a little too much to drink from what i hear . othello : ( chuckles ) yeah . hope : he and his friends . othello : yeah , the hair - and - makeup crew can party , that 's for sure . hope : apparently . did you , um , see the little number they did on him ? othello : no , what do you mean ? hope : you did n't ? you did n't see his hair or the tattoo ? othello : no . that must have happened in the back or something . hope : did you see steffy ? othello : yeah , she was there . hope : and ? othello : and what ? hope : ( scoffs ) look , othello , i know why rick called you here . now i need to know if something happened between liam and steffy last night . what did you see ? | rick tells hope that he knows she loves liam , but he can not stand by and watch him hurt her over and over . hope is too good for liam . he was with steffy the night before his wedding and although both of them say nothing happened , hope can not necessarily believe that . he suggests that hope try to talk to some of liam 's friends who were there that night at the club . he asks and finds out othello was there and says he will talk to him . meanwhile steffy sees liam sitting at a table at dayzee 's and joins him . they naturally talk about the non - wedding and how he survived making a fool of himself before hope 's family . he still insists that he loves hope and wants another chance . he needs hope to believe him . he made a commitment to hope and he intends to hold onto that . steffy differs ; she does n't think liam has made a commitment . it 's amazing his loyalty to hope but he also has a loyalty to steffy . she thinks their day is still coming . she feels it and thinks he does too . |
steffy : you ca n't see the rock at all ? god . god , that damn video . liam : i know . listen . i do n't doubt for a moment that it happened the way that you said , but that video ... is not good . steffy : well , thank you for believing in me . liam : of course . steffy : i 'm sure ivy was hoping that you 'd turn your back on me . liam : yeah , ivy -- ivy 's not herself . i do n't know if it 's aly 's death or the breakup , but -- not that that excuses what she 's doing . steffy : there 's no excuse for blackmail . but ivy did n't kill someone . i did . not on purpose . but it does n't stop the nightmares . i just keep going over it , and i - i see aly on the ground , lying there , and -- liam : i know . i know . god , if wyatt had just deleted the damn video ... steffy : you know what ? i do n't care . i do n't care about the video anymore . let the chips fall . liam : okay . you do n't mean that . steffy : no , i do . i do . i 've wrestled with this for far too long , thinking about what i should do about thorne and -- and the family , and maybe i should just tell the police and thorne that i finally remember everything . but then i go back , and ... i do n't know . is that what 's best for everyone or is it gon na make things worse , especially if there 's a trial ? but one thing i do know -- i will not let ivy forrester control my life . liam : okay . listen , i -- listen , i hear what you 're saying . i get it . i really do . and the fact is we -- we do n't even know if it was you hitting aly or the fall that caused her death , but the fact is i 've seen -- ridge : hey . everything okay ? what are you guys talking about ?

me or quinn with dad as her puppet ? rick : [ scoffs ] what did katie have to say about it ? ridge : she talked to bill . he shut her down , of course . and she does n't want to have a long , involved court case , so i think what she needs right now is some encouragement from the home team . just not sure if that includes your mother or not . brooke : this is your father we 're talking about . i ca n't just joyously join in on these calculations of how to remove him from forrester . besides , it does n't even take care of the problem -- this monstrous woman in eric 's life and in his home . eric : wyatt , i 'm not blind or indifferent to what you 're going through . but i 've gotten much better over the years at understanding what 's in my power to change and -- and what is n't . if steffy wants to leave you , there 's nothing any of us could do to keep her from doing that . wyatt : she does n't want to leave me . eric : well , then if she wants to come back , there 's nothing we can do to stop her . wyatt : i know exactly what 'll bring her back ! it 's what i 've been telling you over and over again , but you just do n't give a damn , do you ?

steffy : hmm ? liam : she does n't actually know what she wants . look at all the trouble she went through just to get you and wyatt married , and now she 's willing to throw that all away suddenly ? steffy : yeah . now my grandfather 's , like , the biggest prize . i do n't know . maybe wyatt will realize that he has to -- he finally has to cut quinn loose . liam : i would n't -- i would n't count on that . steffy : he 's furious with her . liam : yeah , he 's furious with her , but he 's also -- he 's also the victim of a terrible childhood . you know , living with a woman who every day has to be rescued from herself 'cause she 's so unstable . i do n't think he knows how to cut that cord . i - i do n't know if wyatt can stop rescuing quinn . listen ... i 've worried about you , and this -- this move , this is , um , it 's good . it is . it 's a step in the right direction . but if you 're gon na completely separate yourself from quinn , i do n't know how you 'd do that with wyatt still in your life . but ... you know . i 'll be here . i 'll be waiting to pick up our interrupted lives right where we left off . | ridge shows up at brooke 's in time for breakfast . he says hotel life is terrible . brooke was sure that eric would apologize and invite him back home . eric comes downstairs and asks quinn if she has had second thoughts in the cold hard light of day . she says she has always done as she pleased so she is surprised to say that she does care what his family thinks and does not want to cause this problem . he says they can choose to be happy or not and make everyone else happy . suffering is not a vitamin . he does not want her to walk away . there is a knock at the door and quinn gets it . wyatt walks in with a bag and says she does not live here , she is not staying , so pack up her bag to go . steffy hugs thomas and thanks him for letting her stay with him for the night . liam calls as he forgot his work keys there last night . thomas seizes the opportunity and invites him to come right over . rick and maya are both surprised when they walk in and find ridge helping himself to breakfast . they even notice the bag in the den and wonder if he is moving back in . shocked would be the word when they find he lost his home to quinn . quinn tells wyatt to stop ; she is not leaving . it is steffy that is stalking her not the other way around . he says this is not negotiable ; he will not lose steffy . she says this can work . any time steffy wants to come see eric then she will leave . wyatt says he has had a lifetime of this and he is done . |
brooke : apparently liam and jarrett were very surprised by sally 's designs . steffy : how did bill react to that ? brooke : oh ... we may not be having family dinners for a while . ivy : [ laughs ] you know , i 'm surprised that sally felt confident enough to give jarrett a preview . and that liam wanted to go along with it . steffy : i 'm not surprised . especially what happened last time . brooke : liam was determined to see spectra get a fair shot today . steffy : [ sighs ] that 's my husband . he 's a good man . he ca n't stand dishonesty of any kind . liam : so , we 're printing the review as - is . jarrett : i have n't written it yet . justin : you might want to check the terms of your contract before you do . liam : i was there , too , justin . bill : dougy do - gooder here thinks that spectra did enough to save them from the trash heap , huh ? jarrett : i realize this is n't what you want to hear , but i believe this collection will be very successful . bill : then we 'll do something about that . liam : no . you 've done enough . give sally a chance to make her mark . shirley : sally spectra ! [ huffs ] step away from the sketch pads , and move away from the pencils , too . sally : do n't worry , grams . i 'm not gon na change anything . shirley : you better not . saul has been locked in the cutting room for days . if you move one button or ... well , he 'll lose his mind . sally : i 'm not gon na do that , grams . jarrett liked these designs just the way they are . shirley : he did . i am so proud of you . sally : thanks . well , i did n't do it all myself . shirley : hey . mr. muscles had nothing to do with this collection . you did . sally : well , we still have a long way to go , but i 'm starting to think that we can actually do this . sally : it is not a slam - dunk . jarrett and liam only saw a few pieces . shirley : oh , honey , they loved them ! sally : they had positive feedback , which sure as heck beats the alternative . but positive feedback does not pay the bills . shirley : spoken like a true spectra . sally : we need orders . and lots of them . shirley : and we will get them . this show is gon na be gangbusters , and you know it . sally : well , it is not happening like i thought it was going to . but we 're doing it right . no tricks , no stunts . and maybe steffy and her father - in - law can finally see that i am committed to making spectra a successful fashion house . a legit one . steffy : i do n't care what sally sends down the runway , as long as it 's not our designs . ivy : mm - hmm . brooke : she created this collection herself . ivy : wait , so thomas was n't involved ? brooke : he 's in new york with caroline . ivy : and he 's not coming back for the spectra showing ? steffy : mm , i doubt it . he 's focused on his family right now . brooke : no one can fault him for that . ivy : i know . it 's just it 's weird timing , that 's all . things are finally getting off the ground for spectra , and he seemed really excited about it , so ... what ? did something happen ? bill : obviously i have n't done enough . spectra fashions is still in business . liam : if the collection 's as good as the preview , they 're gon na be in business a long time . justin : sally designed them herself . how good could it be ? jarrett : well , it was alluring , innovative . dare i say ... electrifying . liam : [ snorts ] jarrett : literally . bill : what the hell is that ? a little inside joke between you two love birds ? is there anything about my demeanor that indicates that i 'm in a laughing mood , jarrett ? jarrett : there was an electrical fire during the preview . liam : yeah , dad . there was a short in the socket . jarrett : but your quick - thinking son grabbed an extinguisher . put it right out . bill : so once again spectra fashions avoids disaster . steffy : spencer has n't posted anything yet . ivy : well , spectra gave jarrett a preview to generate buzz , so he 's gon na have to say something . steffy : yeah , this time liam will make sure it 's the truth . brooke : if he 's invited to the show , will you go with him ? steffy : oh , yeah . totally go . i 'm sure sally would just love that . she 'd probably put me , like , front row . ivy : we 'll take that as a no . steffy : no , i 'm not gon na slam sally for wanting to have a successful business . and if she can do it on her own without resorting to criminal behavior , then ... i 'll be impressed . we 're always gon na have issues . i 'm not gon na forget what she 's done to forrester creations . but , you know , she 's had a lot of obstacles thrown her way . brooke : and she created those herself . steffy : yeah , for sure . but , uh , not all of them . she 's definitely fighting an uphill battle . you ca n't ignore her tenacity . and no matter what happens , sally spectra does n't give up . shirley : and the second group will come out on this cue . darlita : sally . the guy 's here . sally : what guy ? pete : you had a fire ? i 'm pete . you want me to look at your wiring ? sally : uh ... handyman . yeah , yeah , yeah . absolutely . it 's , uh , over here . pete : yeah , your secretary said there were sparks ? darlita : there were . and then flames . and then `` whoosh ! `` pete : uh - huh . how much did you have plugged into that ? shirley : just a boom box . darlita : not the plug at my desk . you should see that thing . looks like an octopus . sally : this building is super old . who knows what 's in these walls ? shirley : well , at least it did n't ruin our preview . the last thing we need are people talking about another `` disaster `` at spectra fashions . pete : uh - huh . bill : you sure you do n't want to run off with your new bff jarrett ? help him write his glowing review of spectra 's preview ? liam : yeah , jarrett can do that just fine by himself . bill : i do n't have to print it . liam : no , i know . but you will . bill : does your son talk to you like that , justin ? liam : i hope he does n't have to . it 's a pain in the ass being your conscience . all the lying and scheming . by the way , do you know what he told thomas about caroline ? bill : that subject is off - limits . you want to talk about the preview , fine . liam : no , i want to tell thomas the truth -- that caroline is not dying . she 's not even sick . and if that 's the reason he 's in new york , it should n't -- bill : if that were the only reason , then you 'd be right . it would 've been a mistake sending him . but if that time has given caroline and thomas an opportunity to reconnect , if he 's being a better father to douglas , then i have nothing to feel bad about , and neither do you . liam : you did n't do this for caroline and douglas . justin : he 's got you there , bill . bill : he 's got nothing . i killed two birds with one stone . everything i 've accomplished is because i go after what i want . and you get to enjoy the spoils of it . so i have absolutely nothing to apologize for . liam : dad , i am telling you , this line is not gon na tank . the company really can take off . bill : then if that happens , i will have done what i could . i 'm a big boy . i 've been doing this a long time . and not every investment pays off . liam : what is he say -- what are you saying ? bill : i 'm saying that if caroline suddenly gets better , thomas can do whatever he wants to do . make up his own mind . liam : and if sally 's collection is a success ? bill : should that happen , and thomas finds his way back to her , i will wish them well . liam : you will ? bill : what can i do , liam ? one negative post from jarrett and that would 've canceled sally 's show . but you stopped that from happening . you gave sally another chance . my hands are tied . liam : i mean , no matter what happens ? bill : i 'll deal with it . liam : [ exhales sharply ] i really want to believe you , dad . i really do . bill : believe it . now , i think i pay you to do something around here , so how about you get to work ? liam : okay . all right . okay . bill : okay . justin : if sally 's a success , you 'll wish her well . you meant that ? bill : hell no . shirley : as much as i like burly men in tool belts , we are not decorating this showroom with `` under construction `` signs ! i want this fixed pronto ! pete : no can do , lady . sally : what ? pete : i 'm not an electrician , but in my opinion , this whole building needs to be re - wired . shirley : well , like you said , you 're not an electrician . pete : trust me , you 're gon na need a good one . shirley : uh ... well ... what about the plug ? pete : do n't use it . darlita : it 's not fixed ? sally : no . no , but we ca n't worry about that , okay ? we have to focus on the showing . that is how we 're gon na fix this building and re - build spectra 's reputation . thomas is not here to help us , okay , but he at least put us on the right course . our hard work is finally paying off . liam said it . we have something . once the world sees that , then we 're gon na be able to take this building , update it , re - wire it , and outfit it with the latest technology . we have a future in this business . spectra fashions is here to stay . steffy : i was wondering if i was gon na hear from you . liam : yeah , we ca n't do that by text , can we ? steffy : mnh - mnh . so , brooke told me you went to sally 's preview . liam : yeah . i figured jarrett could use the backup . steffy : and someone to take the heat with your dad ? liam : he called brooke to vent , did n't he ? steffy : he 's very upset , yeah . liam : yeah . i knew it . well , jarrett and i agreed . her designs are good . sally 's really got a shot . steffy : you think your dad might interfere ? liam : he says he won't . steffy : [ scoffs ] it 's bill spencer we 're talking about . he 's not gon na stop until he gets that building . liam : yeah , well , you know something , a real businessman , a good businessman knows when to cut his losses . steffy : your dad does n't like to lose . liam : you know what he told me ? he said that , if sally 's line is a success , he would just , like , wish her well . i know . exactly . right ? that 's the look i had on my face . i was skeptical too . but then ... [ sighs ] then he said something really interesting . he said once people see sally 's collection , there 's nothing he can do . he just has to deal with it . just ... really hope he 's telling the truth . bill : what the hell do i have to do to put that low - rent rag shop out of business ? justin : i think you 're running out of time . bill : [ sighs ] spectra 's been at the brink of destruction how many times ? justin : i do n't know . i lost count . thomas swoops in to save the day -- i send him to new york . justin : you know , i thought you were crazy , telling thomas caroline was dying , but look -- the family 's better than ever . that has to account for something , at least . bill : i offer c.j . $ 5 million on top of my original offer , and what does he do ? that moron caves to his mommy and his guilty conscience . justin : you 're frustrated . i get it . but i have an instant solution for that -- forget about spectra . build your baby somewhere else . bill : no . just because i have n't come up with a solution does n't mean that one does n't exist . so come on ! get thinking , justin . give me ideas . i do n't care how crazy they are . just give me something . anything to create a spark . justin : a spark ... a spark is dangerous , bill . just ask liam . he put out the fire at the spectra building today . bill : i could kiss you right now . electrical issues . now that 's something i had n't thought of . steffy : your father 's gon na back off spectra ? what about thomas ? liam : i - i do n't know . i think he 's gon na let that situation play out , as well . steffy : and how do you feel about it ? liam : i do n't know . it depends . i mean , how -- how is thomas , really ? 'cause i 've seen the photos . i 've seen the social media you showed me . and , yeah , he seems happy in new york . steffy : he is happy . and he just sent me a text saying how grateful he is for the time with his family . and , you know , i - i think he might stay in new york even if things change between him and caroline . liam : huh . it 's weird . i did n't think spectra would survive that . but sally 's doing it . she 's doing it all on her own . steffy : as she should . i do n't have a problem with competition . and i do n't have a problem with sally . as long as she 's not stealing our designs or using my brother to prop up her company . i just ca n't forget about all the things she 's done to us . liam : yeah , that was n't cool . steffy : mm . liam : still kind of rooting for her , though . is that weird ? steffy : that 's what you do . you 're rooting for the little guy . liam : i know . i know . listen , it 's -- it 's one collection . either she 's gon na save her company or she 's gon na sink it . steffy : yeah . it 's a lot of pressure . liam : and she keeps surprising everyone . steffy : well , she 's scrappy . liam : yeah . steffy : yeah . [ both laugh ] liam : well , she 's doing everything she can to prove herself , and ... i hope she does . sally : darlita , can i see the guest list again ? darlita : i want to pass out programs this time . can i ? please ? please ? sally : nobody 's canceled ? shirley : once they hear about our preview , no one 's going to . sally : i want jarrett maxwell to have a spot right up front . shirley : oh , do n't you worry . i 'll take good care of him . sally : [ sighs ] i think we 're ready ! [ shirley giggles ] darlita : well , except for the designs . shirley : oh , do n't worry . saul 's taking care of that . they 'll be gorgeous . he wo n't let you down . sally : i ca n't thank you guys enough . shirley : oh , no , no . save that speech until after the show . sally : no , no . i could not have done this without you guys . with all of your hard work , and your support . you know , when thomas left , i had a moment where , i mean , i thought , `` can i do this on my own ? `` and then i remembered i am not on my own . i have the most dedicated and loyal team in this business . we 're doing this for each other . and for all of the other underdogs like us . for the people who have been pushed around and bullied and told that they 'll never make it because they 're not good enough . i am a spectra . i 've heard that my entire life . i 've heard it so much that i actually started to believe it , even when i knew it was a lie . but not anymore . not after this showing . i am going to prove myself as a designer . spectra fashions will rise again . bill : sky is the future . look at her . clean . precise . sharp as a blade . spectra 's a dump . that building . their designs . justin : jarrett liked them . thinks sally has talent . bill : nobody 's ever gon na see it . that fashion show is n't going to happen . i 've put off my dream for long enough . i 'm going to build a structure , an iconic structure , that will grace the l.a. skyline , and change it forever . it 'll be a place of business that will employ thousands , and generate billions in revenue . spectra fashions is gon na stand in the way of that ? are you kidding me ? that building is practically falling down on its own . hell , it was vacant until sally and her band of bozos moved in . justin : yeah , it definitely has its issues . bill : and i 've waited long enough . by this time next week , i 'm gon na be standing in that empty lot with a photographer and a gold - plated shovel . you know what needs to be done , justin . justin : oh . i know , dollar bill . | justin tells jarrett that he might want to check the terms of his contract before he writes the spectra review . jarrett says they just need to let sally have her chance . grams tells sally not to change a thing . saul has been working on all the details for days . thomas had nothing to do with this collection , only her . sally says she is beginning to think they might make it this time despite steffy and her father - in - law . liam tells his dad that if the spectra collection is as good as the preview sally will do fine . they laugh among themselves about the electrifying preview until bill pulls it out of liam and jarrett that there was a small electrical fire in the wall socket . justin asks bill if he meant it when he said if spectra does well and thomas finds his way back to sally then he will accept it . that is all he can do . bill says hell no ; he did not mean what he said to liam . the electrician who really is not an electrician says sally can not use that plug . the entire building needs to be re - wired . liam laments to steffy that he and jarrett agree - sally has a shot . |
thorne : how did he take the news ? katie : he 's confused . he was looking forward to seeing his dad , and now he 's disappointed again . thorne : hey . i 'm sorry . katie : [ crying ] he asked me if it was anything that he did . that [ sobs ] he was worried that bill might be mad at him because he did n't want to spend the night with him the other night . thorne : i meant what i said earlier . you can do something about this . i think it 's time . you know what needs to be done . bill : i appreciate your sticking around . but i know your associates are on their way to the airport , and i 'm sure your maintenance issues with the jet will be resolved in no time . my assistant is giving us updates . you were saying ? it 's not drastic . just a few changes in the allocations to keep our costs down while barely touching your profit . mr. spencer ? bill : i apologize . but we 're going to have to wrap this up . are you , heh , joking ? bill : i 've gone to great lengths to alleviate your concerns , and i believe wholeheartedly that this will be an outstanding partnership . but now i have a , uh , family matter i have to attend to concerning my son . i know that i 've exceeded your expectations . and now i have to do the same for my boy . brooke : katie wants sole custody of will ? ridge : it 's an option . thorne is talking to her about it now . brooke : and carter thinks she has a case ? ridge : she has a strong case . brooke , why is that a problem ? liam : i 'm telling you , could the pool at this resort be any better ? i think not . hope : right ? liam : and look at this gorgeous california - cabin - themed suite . hope : wow . with every amenity . with practically all the comforts of home . liam : i know . that 's what i 'm saying . hey , i hope you 're hungry , by the way , because i already ordered room service . hope : oh , did you ? liam : yeah . yeah , i did . uh , in fact , they have a four - star restaurant on- site . four - star -- five star . five star -- six - star restaurant . hope : wow . liam : is that a thing ? hope : i mean , if it is , it -- it 's got to be here . liam : because only the best for our ... staycation honeymoon . hope : [ laughing ] liam : copyright . hope : oh , finally . my husband and i have been expecting you . liam : [ french accent ] oui , madame . apologies for the delay . the chef , he want to make sure your order was perfect . pardon . hope : well , the food here is supposed to be excellent . liam : your husband order only the finest appetizers , guaranteed not to upset your , uh , morning sickness . voilà . please enjoy while i pour the champagne . hope : well , i am impressed to say the least . though i am not exactly drinking champagne these days . liam : no , no , no , no , no . madame , this is sparkling apple cider . it 's different . hope : well . oh ! but ... liam : madame ! hope : first kiss . then pour . [ ice rattles ] liam : oui . brooke : is thorne pushing for this ? ridge : he 's doing what 's best for will . brooke : we all want what 's best for will . but is n't that having equal access to both parents ? ridge : usually , sure . but in this case -- [ sighs ] katie at least has to consider it . you understand that , right ? i applaud your commitment to your son , but whatever is happening with him certainly can wait until after we 're done . we value the opportunity you present , mr . spencer , but there are other companies vying for our partnership . justin : true . bill ? bill : there are other companies you could work with . but why would you want to do that when you 're already working with the best ? so , why do n't we take another look at that proposal and see if we ca n't fine - tune it a bit . katie : you really think that i should go after sole custody ? thorne : yes . [ sighs ] you 've been the sole provider for months . will is already accustomed to being with just you . now bill comes back and makes promises he ca n't keep . how much disappointment is that boy supposed to take ? how much is enough ? kids need stability . they need adults that they can count on . and that 's you . you got to take control of the situation , katie . for will 's sake . and now 's the time . hope : mm . [ giggles ] your fingers are magic . liam : [ swedish accent ] now , did you order the sports massage , the swedish , or the shiatsu ? hope : um ... pregnancy . liam : [ gasps ] the pregnancy massage . let me tell you something . i give the best pregnancy massage on the entire resort . in fact , the whole island . in fact , the world . hope : wow . oh . well . talented and humble . liam : oh , yeah . yeah . hope : how did i get so lucky ? liam : hmm . hope : [ chuckles ] um , but , you know , as -- as amazing as this is , i actually had another masseur in mind when i booked this . liam : no , i do n't understand . you asked for the best , the strongest , the most handsome . this is what you get . hope : so , in other words , my husband . liam : [ normal voice ] oh . well , that can be arranged . ridge : i agree . a child should have equal access to both his parents . but if it 's not in the child 's best interests , then -- brooke : that 's not the case . not at all . and it concerns me that katie might think it is . to even suggest that bill lose his son ... how can anybody feel right about that ? you 're offering 7 % ? i only asked for 5 % . bill : well , as i said earlier , i 'm about exceeding expectations . so why do n't we go ahead with that 7 % , and we 'll re - evaluate in a year ? justin , make sure this is all written up before they leave town . justin : certainly . thank you , mr . spencer . a pleasure doing business with you . bill : [ chuckles ] it 's funny , i , uh -- i do n't hear that all that often . i look forward to what the future holds . thorne : you do n't want to file for sole custody ? katie : listen , i know what it 's like to grow up without a dad . it 's -- it 's rough . thorne : i 'm not -- i 'm not talking about taking him away from bill completely . he 'd still be able to see him . it 'd just be at your discretion . you 'd be in charge . katie : let 's say i 'm considering this -- and i 'm not saying that i am . [ sighs ] how is it even possible ? i mean , legally , i would n't stand a chance . thorne : well , um , i actually -- i spoke with carter , and he said that you have a compelling case . katie : really ? thorne : really . look , i see how hard this is on you . you know , watching your son go through this . but you do n't have to , not if you take action . hey . you got to do what 's best for will . liam : [ sighs ] hope : thank you . for taking a day . agreeing to this fake honeymoon . liam : fake honeymoon . hope : mm . liam : `` funnymoon . `` hope : ooh . [ both laugh ] but i am holding you to our deal -- that we will go on a real one once my -- i get past my sickness , and work calms down a little bit . liam : mm - hmm . yeah . it 's a deal . hope : hmm . but in the meantime , this is exactly what i wanted . to be alone with my husband . not having to worry about travel or reservations . packing . liam : ugh . hope : making flights . [ chuckles ] and we do n't have to worry about work or family . it 's just us . well , us three . liam : us . hope : yeah . you , me , and the baby . liam : who 's getting bigger and bigger every day . hope : yeah . [ giggles ] i ca n't wait to meet him . [ gasps ] or her . i ca n't wait to complete this family . liam : yeah . brooke : obviously i will support katie with whatever she thinks is best . but , ridge , you do n't understand . you grew up with two parents in your house . i wish we did . we did n't have our father around , and i wish he had been . i wish that for will , too . ridge : and if things work out the way they should , then then there will be a father figure for him . it 's not gon na be bill . it 's someone with a lot more integrity . brooke : thorne . ridge : yes , thorne . he really cares about katie . brooke : look , i think he would make a great step - father . if it came to that . but that still does n't mean that katie should go after full custody of will . ridge : [ sighs ] well , thorne is over there now . he 's trying to convince her . and for will 's sake , i hope he does . katie : am i really ready for this kind of battle ? i -- maybe i should just leave things as they are , and bill can drift in and out of will 's life . thorne : on his terms ? i do n't think that 's good for will . you should be the one that decides how much time bill gets to spend with your son . i understand that a boy needs his father . but when your father is bill spencer , a boy needs his mother even more , to take charge and protect him . katie : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] bill : katie , it 's me . katie : what is he doing here ? thorne : i thought he had meetings all day ? katie : hi . bill : hey . where 's will ? is he ready ? katie : no , he 's not ready . you canceled . thorne : maybe you should have called first . bill : was i talking to you ? mind your own business . katie : okay . i guess i will go upstairs and see if will still wants to go with you . bill : why would n't he ? katie : maybe because you disappointed him again . bill : and i 'm sorry about that . but i 'm late . not absent . and you know damn good and well how important that meeting was . thorne : bill , it 's not just today . you 've been neglecting him for months . bill : you know , you 're like an annoying insect that just keeps buzzing around . katie : bill , thorne cares about will , okay ? he does n't want to see him get hurt any more than i do . bill : then terrific . all right ? we 're all on the same page . nobody wants to see will get hurt . which is why i 'm here on the day that i originally scheduled to spend time with my son . and , katie , could you do me a favor ? if you insist on bringing losers home , can you not expose my son to them ? thorne : [ scoffs ] really ? who do you think has been spending time with him while you 've been busy at work , huh ? or stalking my niece . bill : well , give yourself a nice pat on the head for being such a good manny . thorne : you know , i 've been spending a lot of time with your son , really getting to know him . he deserves a hell of a lot better than you . bill : oh , well . i 'm all he 's got . thorne : well , that can always change . bill : no , it can't . i 'm his father . thorne : yeah , well , there 's nothing katie can do about that . but she can limit your influence on him . by creating stability in his life . which is exactly what she 's going to do when she files for sole custody . ridge : i have n't convinced you , have i ? brooke : this is very black and white to you . but for me , i see gray . and i suspect katie will , too . ridge : we 're gon na have to agree to disagree on this one . brooke : sometimes that 's all we can do . ridge : are we okay ? kind of ? brooke : kind of . ridge : kind of . brooke : [ giggles ] hope : oh , by the way , did you happen to run into my mom ? just wondering if she still has cake in her hair . liam : [ snorts ] god , parents are the worst ! hope : the worst ! liam : worst . hope : [ laughs ] liam : hey , at least brooke and taylor made it through the ceremony . i mean , a reception cake fight , that -- that i can handle . but i would not tolerate them ruining our vows . hope : hmm . hey . do you have any regrets ? like your father not being at the wedding , or ... ? liam : speaking of parents behaving badly , you mean ? hope : mm - hmm . liam : um ... no . no , i do n't regret him not being here . our wedding was a time for joy . there 's no place for hurt there . let 's not talk about him anymore . or anything negative . i just want to focus on us , you know , and our family and our baby and our future . we 're gon na be better parents than ours were , you know ? i mean , you and steffy , you -- you 've already shown that , and i hope to show that . i hope to be a better father to my children than mine was to me . hope : hey . you already are . bill : sole custody ? i thought this bozo was just irritating , but it turns out that he 's completely delusional . katie . okay . look , i -- i acknowledge that i have n't spent as much time with will as i would have liked in the last -- katie : do you have any idea what your absence is doing to our son ? bill : yes , i do . that 's why i 'm standing here , ready to make things right . katie : until something or someone more important comes along . bill : katie , come on -- katie : you have disappointed him over and over again . how many times has he spent the night at your house in the last few months , huh ? none . i know . i have a calendar . i 'm keeping track . bill : what do you mean you 're -- you 're keeping track ? what -- you do n't have to do that . we share custody . katie : we share custody on paper , but not in reality . bill : what are you talking about ? what are you doing ? what , are you gathering evidence against me ? katie : i have a calendar , and i 've been keeping track of every night , every cancellation , every missed game . you have not been there for our son , and i am sick . i am sick of seeing the disappointment in his eyes . i am sick of him questioning himself . and i do n't get it , bill . i do n't get it . when you had the childhood that you did , where your father did n't even acknowledge your existence . and you wanted to be better . you wanted it to be different with your boys . especially after having missed out on the opportunity to raise liam and wyatt . bill : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . i did n't -- i did n't miss out . katie : keep your voice down . bill : those are two very selfish women that robbed me of that opportunity to raise my sons . a - and now you 're talking about taking my son away from me ? well , you can forget it , katie . you have no case . you will fail . katie : i 'm not talking about taking him away from you . i am talking about protecting him . i am talking about making sure ... bill : come on ! katie : ... that his well - being comes first . as for my case , thorne has talked to an attorney , and he thinks i can win . bill : an attorney . this attorney sees you as just a walking atm machine , katie ! katie : i want a father for my son who is involved , who loves him , who is present . and that has not been you for a very long time . bill : so , what ? take the father away ? that makes no sense . look , i will admit that i have n't been the best father in the last few months . you know , just recently . but only recently . that is on me . and if will is angry , if he 's disappointed , he can blame me . but for you to shut me out , prevent me from having my rightful time with my son ... i promise you , katie , that 's gon na backfire . will will turn on you . he will -- he will end up hating you more than he 'd ever hate me for anything . look ... i know that it was n't always ... easy being my wife . but there was a time when you cared about me . you still do care about me , and i care about you . so is this -- is this really what you want to do to me ? can you look me in the eye and tell me that you want to hurt me this way ? are you really threatening to take my son away from me ? | katie tells thorne that will is confused now that bill is not coming to see him . thorne laments that he meant what he said yesterday ; it is time for something to be done . bill meets his clients but tells them he has to wrap this up . he has a family matter that needs attending . ridge fills brooke in about thorne 's suggestion to katie . she says they all want what is best for will but that usually is with access to both parents . thorne tells katie that she has been sole custodian for months and bill could come back and offer promises that he will not keep so now is the time . he says she has to do what is best for will . liam and hope enjoy the pool and order a five star take out service on their staycation . liam shows up as the waiter . only the best for his bride complete with sparking apple cider . he even gives her a swedish massage . she thanks him for his patience with her and they will go on a real honeymoon once her sickness is out of the way and neither have to work . brooke reminds ridge that he grew up with two parents in his household . she did n't and she does not think that is the way to go . katie tells thorne perhaps she should leave things as they are and let bill just drift in and out of will 's life . thorne says no , that is not a good idea . |

[ thorne remembering ] eric : you 're both incredibly important to me . i want you both to stay . but if i have to choose -- i choose ridge . thorne : no one to blame but themselves . darla : so you 're really going through with this ? thorne : it 's all over the news , honey . i ca n't turn back now . darla : well , you could if you wanted to . sally would understand . thorne : no . i need to do this for me . darla : thorne , is this place really you ? thorne : are n't you the one who encouraged me to take the bull by the horns and to show everyone what i 'm capable of ? darla : yes , yes i did . at forrester . thorne : well , i think we both know how that turned out . darla : honey , that does n't necessarily mean that you should work for their archrival . thorne : you know what ? their `` archrival `` believes in me more than they ever did . darla : thorne , i love sally , i adore her , you know that . but to go and work with her , to turn your back on your family -- it 's not going to make the pain go away . thorne : oh , i do n't know . i 'm feeling pretty damn good right now . darla : are you ? really ? thorne : yes . yes , i am . do you remember my old office at forrester ? how dark and gloomy it was , like a dungeon ? well , it 's nice to finally see the light . darla : i know . but , baby , i just do n't want you to do anything you might regret . thorne : no , i 'm not the one who 's going to have regrets . darla : what do you mean by that ? thorne : i mean that i 'm going to do whatever it takes to make spectra the preeminent fashion house in l.a . clarke : that 's what we want to hear . that 's what we 're counting on -- mr. president . jackie : two , three -- you 've done it ! okay , this way -- uh - uh , do n't hit the chair . deacon : you are so kinky . [ laughter ] all right , now uh -- jackie : you just wait . deacon : you sure i 'm going to like this , right ? jackie : yes , sit down . deacon : all right , baby , let the games begin . jackie : all right . viola . deacon : you know , you know , jackie , when that you were ravenous , i thought you had something else in mind . jackie : well , all i ask is that you just keep an open mind and thank heavens i did n't cook this food . deacon : where -- where the hell did you find a place that delivers english food around here ? jackie : ooh . deacon : what is this ? jackie : there 's a lot i can teach you . deacon : i bet , what is this ? jackie : this is -- spotted dick . deacon : yeah , they got penicillin for that . jackie : try it . it 's delicacy . it 's delicious , is n't it ? deacon : um , i can see why you moved to the states . jackie : okay , next . deacon : what is this stuff ? jackie : bangers . deacon : i like the sound of that . jackie : um - hmm , they grow on you . deacon : i 'm sure they do . jackie : and this one is -- toad in the hole , which do you prefer ? deacon : i think i 'm going to go with the bangers . jackie : i thought you might . try the bangers . it 's good . deacon : it 's good -- it 's heavy . jackie : okay . deacon : scones . these i love . i know these . jackie : yeah , they were nicky 's favorite -- when he was little . deacon : hey , listen , come on , listen , do n't even do that . you know . he 's uh -- he 's going to come around . jackie : he has n't returned a single one of my phone calls . deacon : he has n't returned a single phone call yet , jackie , give him time . you know -- jackie : it 's been so long . if i end up losing nicky because of my stupidity , i am never ever , ever going to forgive myself . eric : thorne at spectra ? ridge : unbelievable , huh ? eric : i do n't believe it . ridge : yeah , well , i thought it was a rumor , too . so i called jarrett at `` eye on fashion . `` eric : you did ? what 'd he say ? ridge : apparently , spectra 's press release went out last night . thorne issued a statement about `` setting new standards of excellence . `` the guy 's trying to stick it to us here . eric : no . no , that 's not it , ridge . ridge : well , what you 'd call it then ? eric : this is a cry for help . something that your mother and i should have listened to a long time ago . ridge : dad , this is not your fault . thorne drew the line in the sand , you know ? he did n't leave you much choice , did he ? eric : we should 've had a one - on - one with him a long time ago . made a more concerted effort to expand his role here at forrester . and that 's exactly what i 'm going to do right now . thorne : clarke , what are you talking about ? how can you make me president ? clarke : it 's easy . i just did . thorne : well , look , i appreciate the vote of confidence , okay ? but i think sally would have something to say about that . clarke : oh you bet , she had plenty to say about it . i 'll quote her directly -- `` you tell that handsome devil , thorne forrester , that he 's president -- pronto ! `` and in fact she said you better crack the whip while she 's gone . [ laughter ] thorne : gone ? what do you mean , gone ? clarke : oh she 's in bed with a broken leg . thorne : what ? clarke : do n't worry . she 'll be just fine . i told her those yoga classes were a mistake . darla : oh my god . you 're kidding me , she 's confined to bed ? she must be going stir crazy . clarke : she 's driving everybody else stir crazy , i can tell you that . but she is disappointed about one thing -- she wanted to be able to congratulate you in person , thorne . but you know sally -- business as usual . beginning with the number one item on her to - do list -- she wanted me to take care of this . congratulations , thorne . [ applause ] clark : i think i speak for sally and for everyone here when i say that we feel fortunate to have the future of this company in your hands . [ applause ] thorne : thank you for the kind words , but i 'm the one who 's fortunate . and damned impressed -- by all of you , spectra fashions . that debutante line -- you guys ate our lunch . and my guess is you 're still hungry . bob : oh you know it . time to feast on the forrester buffet , huh , mr. president ? darla : thorne -- fforrester ? you would n't -- clarke : what will it be , tthorne ? more cheap knock - offs ? thorne : no . sally and i have decided that is all in spectra 's past . clark : what do you mean ? thorne : well , quality is what sells in this business , and it 's what 's going to make us the premier fashion house in l.a. , okay ? now , i have been in touch with all forrester 's vendors and major suppliers . they 're going to work with us . we 're going to have fabric better than forrester , and we 're going to a production line better than forrester . and our copies are going to be top notch . they 're going to be better than the originals , people . [ cheers and applause ] thorne : yeah , well you let 'em try , 'cause we 'll be ready for them . but i will tell you this , they wo n't be ready for us . because they have underestimated spectra fashions just the way they 've underestimated me . and we 're going to use that to our advantage . we 're going to the top , people , and they ca n't stop us . eric : you 're wrong , thorne . i 'm going to put a stop to this right now . skippy snack bar ! jackie : oh , i 've missed the ocean breeze . deacon : that 's right . you used to live in the forrester beach house , did n't you ? jackie : yeah , right up until i married massimo . oh , that seems so long ago now . deacon : had no idea what you were in for , did you ? jackie : i had no doubts . eric tried to warn me , though . deacon : oh yeah , i bet he did . jackie : massimo was the love of my life . deacon : was . past tense . jackie : you know -- when you see something that is just so lovely , and you want it so much and -- you do n't get it right away , and you dream about it , and it just becomes more and more perfect in your mind , and -- when you finally do get it , it ca n't possibly live up to your expectations , can it ? deacon : so , massimo was n't all that , huh ? jackie : it was unfair of me to expect him to be my knight in shining armor , just because he 's nicky 's father . deacon : if you ask me , it sounds like he had some pretty unfair expectations himself , would n't you say ? jackie : i do n't think that they were unreasonable at the time -- but now , oh now , it frightens me so much . to realize how hard i was trying to be just what he wanted , and how quickly i changed . deacon : so you were both working on making him happy ? jackie , i 've got to ask -- who was making you happy ? i mean here you are , you 're finally married to the man of your dreams -- and i 'm going to bet that you were never -- never so lonely in your life . thorne : dad ? you should n't be here . eric : neither should you . and i have to read about it in a newspaper ? thorne : you might want to get used to that , because i plan on making a lot of headlines here . eric : what , here ? at spectra , of all places ? they 're in the grand larceny business here . it 's a felony to be in this building . thorne : it was good enough for ridge . ridge : it was different , thorne . i owned the company , and we were n't in the business of profiting from stolen designs . thorne : you think that 's what i 'm going to be doing ? eric : of course not . what i hope you 'll be doing is coming back to us , where you belong . thorne : it took an article in the paper for you to come and talk to me ? eric : i was trying to give you some space , you know that . thorne : now , what you want is for me to hop in the back seat again . eric : you do n't have to be the president of a company to make your mark . thorne : maybe not . but it ca n't hurt . ridge : that 's right . sally offered me the same position here . eric : thorne , come on . she 's just talking advantage of you . it 's just a publicity ploy . clarke : eric , with all due respect , you 're wrong about that . sally truly believes in thorne . thorne : and she 's offering me more than you ever have . ridge : thorne , please . come back . we need you , this family needs you . thorne : you have no idea how long i 've waited to hear those words . but it 's too little , too late . eric : so that 's it ? you 're turning your back on us ? thorne : as someone once said to me , `` do n't take it personally . it 's strictly business . `` eric : well , you may have given up on me , son . i will never give up on you . jackie : after struggling for so long as a single mother , i actually thought that massimo was going to be my refuge . i 'd have a family , you know ? someone to love . someone to take care of me . deacon : well , that was your first mistake . jackie , you are a strong woman . you 're independent . you can take care of yourself . you do n't have to live your life -- not for your son , not for you husband -- you got ta live it for jackie . jackie : jackie ? i do n't even know who she is anymore . deacon : is n't it going to be amazing to find out ? jackie : actually , it 's a scary prospect . deacon : nah , come on , it 's going to be liberating . do n't you think ? jackie : i never thought i 'd say this -- but i 'm having fun . deacon : me , too . ridge : well , i do hope you 're proud of yourself now . thorne : i 'm getting there . ridge : did you see dad and what you 're doing to him ? thorne : what i 'm doing to him ? ridge : picked a hell of a way to get his attention , thorne . thorne : that 's not what this is about , ridge . ridge : well , then , why do n't explain it to me , 'cause i do n't get it . thorne : you know what ? why would you even care ? you should be thrilled that i 'm out of the picture . ridge : i do n't like seeing you here , thorne , any more than dad does . you 're better than this . thorne : i 'm going to be running the preeminent fashion house in los angeles , ridge . ridge : oh , my mistake . i thought you were working at spectra . thorne : you know what ? you enjoy it while you can . 'cause we 'll wipe that smirk off your face soon enough . ridge : sure , how can you lose ? with a crackerjack team like this ? a washed - up designer , a dim - witted ex - secretary -- and a very bitter irish woman . dad and i should be throwing in the towels right now . thorne : it would be the smartest thing you could do , 'cause only one of us is going to survive , and there 's no way you can top us . ridge : you do n't think so ? thorne : we have resources you ca n't even imagine , ridge . ridge : we given you every opportunity to come back to the winning team . do n't forget that . and do n't come crying to us when you fall on your face . thorne : do n't worry . it wo n't happen . [ everyone chanting `` thorne `` ] darla : mr. president ? thorne : our day is coming . sooner than they think .
